"Worthless.. Pathetic.. Loser.." Tears streamed down his face he sliced the blade across his arm, marking wounds over wounds, bleeding, bringing himself more psychical pain.

He heard the front door open and panicked, 'I thought he was gonna be here later!'

He began rinsing the razor blade, then reached for a towel but a certain blond man with blue shades stood in front of him.

"S-Shizuo.. I-"

"So this is what you do in your spare time when I'm gone?" He reached for the smaller's arms, the raven tried pulling away, but the blond's grip kept him there.

"Did I.. Cause you to do this?"

Roppi's eyes widened and he ran into Shizuo's chest, "NO! N-not.. even.. close.." He began sobbing into the other's chest and gripped onto his shirt, "I-I'm just.. P-pathet-"

"You're not," he felt strong arms wrap around him and held him close, "I love you, damn brat, why don't you tell me instead of.. Doing that?"

Roppie stayed quiet, wanting to stay in this embrace, he soon felt himself being picked up, he wrapped his arms around his neck and held onto him tightly.

Shizuo laid down on their bed, starting to back away but the other clung to him and whimpered, "p-please don't leave me Shizuo!"

"I need to get something real quick."

He unlatched his lover's arms from around his neck, then went to get something to clean off the self-harming male's arms, and anywhere else he cut.
