A Burden I Will Bear

School had soon finished and so shuichi walked home.

⚠️ TW: Abuse ⚠️

More like hell.

Shuichi walked through the creaking door slowly.
But he wasn't silent enough
"Get to cleaning shuichi."
Shuichi bowed and threw his bag on top of the stairs "y-yes mr saihara." He ran to the kitchen and picked up a mop "say hello to your mother shuichi" shuichi looked at his so called "mother".
She was a blonde woman in a skimpy white dress. She had blue eyes and a little too much make up on. Pretty nonetheless but she wasn't Shuichi's mom. She could never be.
"G-good afternoon Mrs saihara" "hey kid, mop my bathroom will ya" she winked at the terrified kid "y-yes ma'am!" Shuichi started to clean the living room.
He picked up cushions, straightened everything and even cleaned the walls of blood and beer stains.
He cleaned his "parents" room. Of everything disgusting in there.
He cleaned all 3 bathrooms.
He cleaned the dining room and kitchen.
The kitchen was alway the toughest, not only because there were more stains there than anywhere but because they were there. His guardians where there watching him clean. They watched and insulted him. Slurs, slut-shaming, you name it, they said it.

Shuichi was strong. No matter what he told himself or what his conscious told him; he was strong because he was still here. Enduring all of this. He held a smile; a crooked smile but a smile nonetheless. Repeating things to hold on hope, He grasped every bit of hope he could get. Thinking of his beloved

If i endure today ill get to see ouma-chan tomorrow! my beloved ouma, its all worth it for him, ill endure everything for them, ill stay alive for him.

"Why are you smiling fuckin' sl*t" Shuichi flinched getting dragged out his thoughts "ah s-sorry sir  i-i d-didn't-" before shuichi could apologise his father kicked his gut. He kicked him so hard blood slowly escaped his lips.

"Hahaha" he laughed as blood fell from his delicate bruised face .
The laughing just made his father angrier.
He punched and kicked threw beer bottles at the floor next to the boy making cuts along his body and soaking his raven blue hair. Shuichi smiled the entire time. Some would call it a wicked smile. The smile of someone up to no good. Somone going insane. And maybe he was but he had no choice but to let his mind wonder to dark places.
Very dark places.

"Saihara-chan!" Suddenly he was in a white room.

There was a loud hum coming from a small familiar figure
The figure ran to shuichi and hugged him tight "make it today okay? Ill see you tomorrow and we can hug for real" shuichi smiled. This time it was warm and sane "okay"

He woke up again on the floor with a dangerous amount of wounds and blood spilling from his mouth
maybe i passed out from blood loss

"Go to your room." shuichi nodded and limped up to his room and into the newly cleaned bathroom to shower.
Everything stung but he kept a warm smile on his face repeating the same two words over and over and over
