CHAPTER 1: ...Bittersweet Love..
"Who do you think you-" Yuko cuts Hiro off. "No, who do you think you are laying a finger on Kazuki? The funny thing is, I don't remember allowing you to touch him. You don't know that you're supposed to ask before you touch? I'll cut off the hand you touched Kazuki with I swear to fucking God, Hiro." Yuko hisses, his eyes darken. "I'll kill you." He curses under his breath. Hiro stands up. "You're a fucking psychotic whore! That's why I'll never love you!" He shouts in anger before running away. Yuko sighs heavily. (My head is pounding. It feels so heavy.) Yuko bears it, he's too worried about Kazuki to be worried about himself. He feels Kazuki's blood soak through his white shirt. "Shit Kazuki! Your waist is bleeding too!" He blurts out loudly. "I'm fine." Kazuki mumbles. Before Yuko can reply, his eyes travel and land behind Kazuki. He sees a bloody metal rod behind him, and his heart drops. "Kazuki..?" He taps Kazuki. No response. "Kazuki!" He grabs Kazuki's shoulder, and pulls him away. Kazuki's eyes are closed. Yuko starts lightly shaking him. "Kazu..?" He's not responding. He quickly grabs the phone off the ground, which now has a massive crack on the screen. He texts Kaido the whole situation, then his phone dies right after he sent the message. "Shit.." Yuko wraps Kazuki's arm across the back of his neck and shoulder, grasping the Kazuki's wrist with one hand. Yuko then wraps his free arm around the Kazuki's waist for support. He almost stumbles, but he catches himself in time. "My head feels so hot. I feel so dizzy from standing up too fast." He mumbles, then he starts walking towards the hospital nearby. He's going slow, due to the extra weight. After walking for what felt like twenty-five minutes, they arrived at the hospital. Yuko rushes to the front desk. "Please, get him a room! I'll pay anything you want!" Yuko pleads desperately. "One second sir, we're not too busy tonight, so I'll find a free room for you." The receptionist assures Yuko. Five minutes later, they take Kazuki to a room. "Don't worry sir, he's in good hands. He should be out soon." The receptionist states. "So please wait in the waiting room." She tells Yuko. He nods, and walks over to the waiting room. Not even ten minutes later, Yuko steps out for air. He looks down at his hands, and then his breathing becomes quicker and sharper as soon as he sees Kazuki's blood on his hands and clothes. He hears people walking, cars honking, sirens. He hears the trees swaying, and he feels the cool breeze hitting his face. The last thing he heard and saw was Kaido's car pulling up with Nowa and Karyna, and Kaido running towards Yuko. Yuko stumbles forwards one step, before blacking out. {THUMP} Before dawn, Yuko snaps awake. His fever is completely gone. "Kazuki-" He stops mid sentence, and looks around. (I'm in Kazuki's room.) He looks to his side to see Kazuki sleeping beside him with fresh white bandages wrapped around his head. Yuko pauses for a second, then embraces him in a loose hug. "Kazuki. I'm so glad you're alright." He whispers. Kazuki slowly wakes up. "...Yuko?" He calls out. Yuko pulls away. "Kazuki, I'm so sorry for everything. It's my fault you keep getting hurt..! I keep hurting you. Physically.." He looks away guilty. "....And emotionally. I'm sorry I keep screwing shit up." He tears up. "I'm so sorry, Kazuki! I don't want to hurt you anymore! A-and I can't guarantee I won't hurt you again, but I want to be with you. So, I'll try my hardest! So please, can you forgive me..? A-and if you need some time, I really do understa-"Kazuki smiles softly, grabs the collar of Yuko's shirt, and kisses him assertively. Yuko's eyes widens for a second, but then he kisses back. Kazuki pulls away shortly after, with a small smile. "You're such a crybaby, ya'know that?" He places his hand on Yuko's cheek, and caresses under Yuko's eye. Wiping away the tears. "I'll try my best too. I promise." Kazuki states. Yuko looks stunned for a second, but then he smiles gently, and small, quiet laughter erupts from his mouth. "Ha-ha-ha!" He places his hand on top of the one Kazuki's wiping his tears with. "What's funny?" He asks confused. "You did this before. When we first met. You did this exact thing. You had a cute little accent too." He says teasingly. "Kazuki, I love you. I've been loving you since the first day. I'm sorry it took me so long to realize." Yuko grasps Kazuki's hands, and grips them tight. Pinkness spreads across his face, and his eyes sparkle. "Kazuki, will you please date me?" Yuko asks pleadingly. His heart slowly starts beating faster, and faster. Kazuki notices, he looks at Yuko in awe, and he pinches Yuko's cheeks with a teasing grin. Yuko’s cheeks slowly turn a light red, and he pouts before slapping Kazuki's hands off his face. "Never mind!" Yuko crosses his arms and looks away in irritation. Kazuki ruffles Yuko's hair. "I would love to date you." Kazuki tells Yuko with a calm smile. Yuko's face turns bright red, and he feels his heart about to beat out of his chest. "Time to eat. I put aside some clothes for you. I tried to find the smallest of my pair, so since you're only a year apart, they should fit you. There on the dresser." Kazuki points behind Yuko, to the clothes on the dresser. Yuko turns over to look at it, then slowly walks towards it. He lifts up his shirt, about to change. (..Wait..) "Get out." Yuko demands. "Why? I've seen you naked. A few times actually." Kazuki assures. "Get out you pervert!" Yuko shouts before kicking Kazuki out, and locking the door behind him. Kazuki sits down in front of the door like a cold puppy outside, ready to come back in the house. Nowa walks up the stairs, and sees Kazuki sitting outside his own bedroom door. "Uhmm..where's Yuko?" He asks, slightly concerned. "How do you know Yuko? Kaido told ya?" Kazuki asks with a mixture of curiosity and jealousy. "..Well....not quiet.." He looks away nervously, a cold sweat runs down his forehead. He can feel Kazuki's murderous gaze burning the side of his face right off. Before Kazuki can say another word, Yuko comes out of the room in a basic oversized white T-shirt, and black flare tights. "So, the T-shirt is a little big, but the pants fit perfectly." Yuko tells Kazuki, and then his eyes light up from the sight of Nowa. "Nowa!" Yuko exclaims, while leaning towards him slightly. Nowa glances at Yuko, then he feels his face get warm, and he can't maintain eye contact. "H-hey Yuko. In case you're wondering, Karyna is Kazuki and Kaido's older sister that I've been friends with since elementary, so I'm kind of like a family friend." He explains. "That's really cool! Since I haven't fully thanked you yet, I can-" "Ahem." Kazuki cuts them off, clearly irritated. He death glares Nowa, and smiles softly at Yuko. "Those pants you're wearing, there my moms." He tells Yuko. Yuko looks down at the pants nervously. "Really? Is it okay to be wearing it then? Won't she get mad?" He asks worriedly. Kazuki smiles, and stands up to ruffle Yuko's hair gently. "Don't worry about it. She doesn't mind. Plus, it's too small for her anyway." He reassures unfazed. Yuko sighs in relief. "Alright, if you say so." Yuko looks up at Kazuki. (Wow. They look like a real couple right now. I'm kinda jealous. But, he's the only one that makes Kazuki smile, and Yuko's the only one he listens to. He doesn't smile or listen to his siblings, or his parents. I wonder if he likes Yuko?) Nowa's thoughts terrified him. He glances back at Yuko and Kazuki, and before he can open his mouth to say something, Karyna shouts from downstairs. "Hey! What's taking so long up there? Breakfast is getting cold!" She shouts. All three of them head downstairs, and Kaido rushes to Yuko, and hugs him tight with a sly smile, wrapping his arms around Yuko's waist, and grasping on the hem of Yuko's shirt. "Yukooo! I'm so glad you're okay! We were so worried about you, since you passed out the moment I arrived with Karyna and Nowa." Kaido pats Yuko's back. "I passed out? I can't remember a single thing after Kazuki fell unconscious." Yuko mumbles. "How embarrassing. Sorry about that." Yuko apologizes. Kaido's smile turns into a wide, mischievous, sinister grin. "Don't worry about it." He reassures, before lifting up Yuko's shirt to expose his waist clearly. "Wow, your hips are so small and delicate like a girl's. So are your shoulders. They're slim." Kaido teases. Yuko's cheeks flush a light pink, and he slaps Kaido's hands off. Kazuki clenches his fist, and eyes Kaido. "Stop harassing Yuko, dumbass." Karyna says before Kazuki could punch Kaido. "Calm down, I was just messin' around with him." Kaido shrugs and brushes it off, before going back to eat at the table like normal.
