Prologue
Disclaimer: I own nothing except Oc's. Characters maybe a little ooc. Now on with the story!
Misaki P.O.V
Just another day, with Usagi-san. Well, it isn't a normal day around here. There's never a normal typical day around here. I'm usually touched when I wake up. But, strangely, Usagi-san isn't touching me today. Even though he is my lover, he kind of annoys me with that habit of his to touch me whenever he pleases.
Hmmm, I'm in his bed, and he's here as I can feel his taller body next to my own smaller body. Since its a Sunday, I'm not at university today and I'm not at my part time job either. Usagi-san...I still don't know why I call him that! Must be because Nii-chan calls him that also. His real name is Usami Akihiko. I will just stick with Usagi-san for now.
I decide to get up and make my way downstairs once getting dressed. I'll let Usagi-san sleep, since I can make breakfast in peace, and he has been working on his latest novel, not his BL novel, but his normal novel. For his BL novel, he uses the penname Akikawa Yayoi.
I'm sure he has a deadline soon, for his normal novel I mean. He completed his latest BL novel a few days ago. I still don't like the fact that he uses my name in that, and he used to use my Nii-chan's name in it.
He was in love with my Nii-chan for along time, then he fell in love with me. It is a little strange, but we just go together, although sometimes it feels like I'm missing something. In our relationship, I'm the uke, and while I love being that, I would like to be seme at least once. But, Usagi-san says that he will never let me be the seme, so that's out of the window.
I go into the fridge...of course, its pretty much empty. I will have to go shopping at the local supermarket. I will just have to ask Usagi-san if he wants anything in particular.
With the remnants of the fridge, I am able to make some kind of breakfast. It isn't anything too grand, just the usual stuff. Once I had finished that, I went back up the stairs to inform Usagi-san that breakfast is ready.
"Usagi-san! Breakfast!"
I practically shout out. Its the only way he will listen to me when he has been pulling an all nighter.
"Ngh...Misaki..."
"Get up!"
"I'm up..."
Even though he says that, he isn't awake. I sigh to myself. Well, I guess he can sleep a little longer. I go down the stairs and eat my own breakfast, on my own as usual. Well, as it has been for a few days.
As I eat my breakfast, I hear noises coming from upstairs. Usagi-san must be up by now. Lets see. I have to get some groceries, do the laundry and clean up. Never a moments rest for me! Well, Usagi-san is also busy. It is the least I can do, as I do live here rent free.
He comes down the stairs and sits at the table and eats without muttering a word.
"Usagi-san...I'm going shopping. Is there anything I can get you?"
"The usual."
The usual. Ok, so I have to get him his usual stuff.
"Great! Oh, if you have any dirty clothes then bring them down as I'm doing laundry when I get back."
"Got it."
He's not very talkative today. Must be tired. After eating and barely talking, although I did try a conversation, he just wasn't responsive. I get ready to head out. I write a list to see what I need and what other things I can think off for our place. Usagi-sans place that I live at. So, is it my place also? I will consider it my place.
I head out to the supermarket. Good thing it isn't far. However, when I pass a nearby park, I see that same boy I've been seeing for at least a month now. He is always...just sat there. I find it a little strange as he is what, 11 or 12? I mean, where are his parents? He's always there, all alone.
I would go over but...that might be a little weird to say the least. He might think I'm a little weird if I just start talking to him, and he has a legitimate reason for being there everyday, or the days I see him anyway.
He is always hugging a toy dog. He looks...well, I would say he looks a little cute. His big green eyes that are hidden somewhat by his semi long blonde hair. He must be part american given his hair colour. I can tell that he is at least part japanese but...wait, why am I thinking about this boy? I'm sure he's fine.
I continue to the supermarket. Making it about five minutes later, I start going around the shop. Lets see...bread...milk...ok! Yes, this should do for that. And the eggs of course I need to get. And then there's Usagi-sans things he wanted. Ugh, Usagi-sans things are always embarrassing to buy. Lube, I have to buy that for...our sessions. Otherwise it hurts a little.
Whenever I buy it, people give me strange looks like I'm a pervert. Even though I'm 19 and can do stuff like that, they always look at me strange. I blame Usagi-san for this. Making me buy this lube for him.
Once getting that, I head to the checkout and pay for these items. The woman behind the checkout was, as expected giving me strange looks from the lube. For god sakes! Its just lube! Its not like I'm buying porn!
I get these things, and then I start heading home, back to Usagi-san! Damn these bags are heavy! I should've asked Usagi-san to come with me. Then at least, I could've loaded him up with some bags also, hehe.
I near the apartment but...I walk past that park again. The boy, whatever his name is. He's still sat there, but this time...he's crying? Should...I go over? Everyone else who walks past...is ignoring him. How cruel. The poor boy is only 11 or 12 yet they ignore the child who's crying his eyes out?
I...need to go over. Its the least a decent human being should do. If a child is crying, someone should console the child. I go over to the child and sit on the bench next to him. He looks at me briefly, before hugging that toy of his.
"Hey...are you ok?"
"Fine...ummmm...person I don't know."
Person I don't know. I should've started by introducing myself! Ugh! I'm such an idiot!
"Right. My name is Takahashi Misaki. What's yours?"
"...Nakashima...Makoto. Erm...why are you talking to me, Takahashi-san?"
"Because, you are crying. Is there anything I can do?"
He shakes his little head.
"No...I am fine. Thank you anyway."
"Maybe it isn't any of my business, but you have been here for along time, right?"
"Two months, yes."
Two months? He's, been here for two months? I've only noticed the last month or so. So a month before I noticed, he has been here.
"May I ask why?"
"I...ran away. But you can't turn me over to the police either. They will just take me home, and I don't want to go home! If that's all, please leave me alone. Everyone else ignores me..."
Then, his stomach rumbled. He blushes embarrassed and turns away from me shyly.
"You hungry?"
"N-No. I'm...fine Takahashi-san."
"You're hungry. Here, I have some chocolate...do you like chocolate?"
He nods. I go into one of the bags and I produce a chocolate bar. As soon as I handed it to him, he rips off the wrapper and devours it in his small mouth quite fast. He must've been more hungry than I thought he was.
"S-Sorry for eating like this...it must be embarrassing to watch."
"Oh, don't worry about it. But, where do you sleep? If you ran away, where is it you sleep?"
He pats the bench. He, sleeps on the bench? No, he can't sleep on the bench, right? Someone would've noticed, and some pervert might try and take advantage of a boy of his age.
"I sleep here of course. This is my bench."
"Nakashima-san...you can't sleep on a bench. You need a warm place to sleep. Like your home..."
"I don't have a home! Everyone at home hates me anyway! It isn't my home. Just a place where, people hurt me."
People hurt him...in what way? I would question, but...no, should I question it? Even if against his wishes, shouldn't I take this boy to the police so they can track down his family? Or should I just let him be? No, if I did that, he would eventually be raped sleeping on a bench like this.
"How do they...hurt you?"
"In lots of ways. I'm Otou-sama's favourite...never mind. Sorry to burden you Takahashi-san. I'm perfectly fine."
Otou-sama's favourite...if I didn't know better then...
"No, it isn't a burden. And, you are clearly not fine."
"I am. I can take care of myself."
"An 11 or 12 year old can't take care of themselves like this."
I scold slightly. He gains a look of perplexity. Why have such a face on?
"I'm 15 Takahashi-san, not 12."
"Y-YOU ARE 15!?"
"Y-Yes. I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself."
He looks really small for his age. If, he's telling me the truth that is. He might be lying to...spare me some feelings. Although, I didn't detect deceit when he said his age. Could this boy...be an actual teenager of 15 years? He, doesn't look it at all.
"I know this sounds a little strange...but, why don't you come home with me? I know we are strangers, but I can't just leave you out here alone, where people might hurt you. I'm amazed people haven't tried to take advantage already."
"They have, I say no and hit them away. I would go...but I don't have anywhere to go. Thank you for the offer, but I'm burdening you already Takahashi-san. You know, you are the only person to see if I am ok?"
I'm the only one? Lots of people must pass by this park everyday, yet I'm the only one in two months to ask if he is ok?
"I-Is that so?"
"Yes. Again, thank you for the offer, but I couldn't possibly go with you. For one, how do you know that I'm not really a killer? Or that I'm actually younger than I said I am? Or that I really do have a family that want me?"
"Point taken. But, I trust you. Don't you trust me? I wouldn't hurt you."
His eyes widen at my words.
"To trust someone...Takahashi-san. You wouldn't hurt me right? Or try...things with me, right?"
"N-No. I'm not going to hurt you. I wouldn't dream of hurting a child...young adult like yourself."
He flashes me a smile...it makes my face heat up a little! Damn his adorable face! I can't think that, he's only 15 years old...
"T-Then maybe...no, I can't. You are a stranger, and I don't know if you are nice or this is just an act to try and...do things to me."
Out of instinct, I kiss the top of his head to calm him down. Then, I realize that I actually just did that! That's so wrong! He really will think that I am taking advantage of him now! Instead of telling me where to go, his whole face turns bright red.
"Takahashi-san...why did you...do that?"
"S-Sorry. It is something my Nii-chan did to me when I was younger to calm me down and I guess...I'm sorry."
I bow my head. Instead of hitting me or something that I would expect, he gives off a little giggle. How adorable.
"No no. Don't apologize to me. I, liked it. It wasn't for anything other than to help me. Usually, when people kiss my head it means...but you don't want to...say, how old are you? I want to say 17 but..."
"Hehe, I'm 19 Nakashima-san."
"Makoto."
I blink in confusion. He said his own name while pointing to himself.
"Hmmm?"
"Call me, Makoto. Since we are...friends I guess the word is. Is that what we are, friends? Despite just meeting, are we friends?"
Friends? I guess we could be called that.
"Friends? Yes, I guess we are friends. Alright then, Makoto...kun? That seems right. Call me Misaki, and whatever honorific you want."
"Misaki...chan? Hehe, Misaki-chan."
I pout and look away. I knew it! My name is girly! That's why he added chan on the end!
"Sorry. Should I call you Misaki-kun instead?"
"Call me what you want."
I cry anime tears as I hear the soft almost velvet giggle come from him.
"I best call you Misaki-kun, or you might cry."
"I'm not crying!"
"No need for raised voices. People are looking at us weirdly."
True to his words, everyone within the vicinity is giving us a strange look. I stop the anime tears and look back at the boy. He smiles a little at me...I feel a blush forming on my cheeks. Damn it! I can't think of him like that! Besides, I have a boyfriend! And it sounds like Makoto-kun has lots of problems with...people touching him.
"So. Do you want to go? I promise not to hurt you, even if some perverts might say things like that to you, I can promise that within the next 20 minutes, you can be in a hot bath and I will wash your clothes."
"A-A hot bath...clean clothes...ok. But you can't take me to the police. Please promise me not to take me to the police. I don't want to go home, ever again."
"Alright alright. Now, lets go home. I promise you are safe with me."
He nods. We both stand up, and we leave the park together. At least he trusts me. Poor kid looks like he has had a hell of a time on the streets, and his home life is...something that isn't good at all if I believe his words, which I do wholeheartedly.
We get home. I open the door and let him inside. He gasps at the size. I did the same thing.
"Y-You can afford this place? How? Are you rich?"
"Rich? Me? No, I'm a commoner. This place actually belongs to my...roommate. His name is, Usami Akihiko. I call him Usagi-san."
"I-Isn't he that famous author? He is an author yes? A successful one, despite his age? Am I right?"
So he knows of Usagi-san then? Makes it easier to explain.
"T-That's right. He's my...friend."
I don't want to say boyfriend. Makoto-kun here might think it is strange that we are dating, despite the age gap. And the whole fact that we are both guys. Sometimes I need to think about it seriously. I mean, even Makoto-kun is closer to my age than Usagi-san is. He really will think it is strange if he finds out. Then again, he might not be bothered by it.
"F-Friend? You must be great friends for him to let you live here."
"He's the greatest. Although he can be grumpy. Now...let me put the food away, then I will show you to the bath."
"Ok Misaki-chan! I mean kun!"
Yeah, he means chan. I feel like crying again. I go into the kitchen and start putting things away.
"C-Can I help?"
I hear the small voice of Makoto-kun. I look in his direction.
"No. Don't worry about it. You can sit down on the couch if you like?"
"Ok Misaki-chan! Ooooo! I'm sorry Misaki-chan! I mean kun! I really do!"
"Just call me Misaki-chan if its easier for you."
He gives an affirmative nod and sits down while I finish this. After I finish putting everything away, I see that he is looking at Suzuki-san intently.
"Does Suzuki-san interest you?"
"Is that what the bear is called?"
I nod and go over.
"Yep! That's the name alright. Its not mine, its Usagi-sans...I mean Akihiko-sans."
"Oh...I see. Suzuki-san is a nice name."
"What about your plush toy? What's his or her name?"
He hugs the toy that has seen better days to his chest.
"Inu-chan. And he's a boy but I add chan because he is cute. I know it isn't very original but...Inu-chan is my best friend. And I know that sounds strange. But, Inu-chan wouldn't leave me."
"Inu-chan huh. You named a dog plush toy, Inu-chan? Inu meaning dog. Hehe, Makoto-kun, you are silly. Would you like...me to wash Inu-chan for you?"
"Wash Inu-chan? Ok, but don't hurt him. He's very sensitive you know? If you wash him too hard, you will hurt his feelings and he wont want to be washed again by you."
That's so cute! Thinking the toy can talk!
"I promise not to be rough with him. Now, lets get you to the bath, you smell."
"Uu, that's not my fault. I've not had a bath for awhile."
"Come on then, Makoto-kun. Lets get you in the bath."
He giggles again! That's too cute! He has too stop it! We stand up and head upstairs. Passing by Usagi-sans room, we reach the bathroom and go inside. I put the bath on and turn to him...he's stripped already!? W-Well, he has underwear on, but that's it! Who does things like that infront of strangers!?
"Whats wrong Misaki-chan?"
"Y-You stripped..."
"Because I'm getting in the bath, right? I can't go on with clothes."
He has a point but still...
"You could've waited until I left."
"Then how would I give you my clothes?"
He asks with a cute head tilt. No, stop those thoughts.
"Leave them outside the door or something! Don't you mind me seeing you...like that?"
Realization passes through his eyes, he blushes up a storm and attempts to hide his body. Even though his underwear is still on, I can pretty much make out the outline of his...no! I need to stop thinking about it! I have Usagi-san! And Makoto-kun is...my friend so, I couldn't think about such things. Plus he's 15! He's 4 years younger than I am, and a run away at that.
"Misaki-chan's eyes are on me...close them!"
Doing as he asks, I close my eyes. I can't see now. I hear some shuffling.
"Makoto-kun. Guide me to the door."
"No! You can open your eyes. I've wrapped a towel around my body now."
I open my hesitant eyes...good. He does have a towel wrapped around himself. I release a breath I didn't know I was holding. His underwear is on the floor, next to his other clothes.
"Misaki-chan. Did you see anything?"
"L-Like what?"
"Never mind."
I wonder what he means by see something. His body? I saw that. He's quite thin, even for a boy his age. Maybe, malnourishment? He did say two months out there...so he hasn't been eating regularly.
"T-Take your bath. I will leave some clothes outside the door for you. Once ready, come downstairs."
"Ok Misaki-chan. Misaki-chan, thanks for being nice to me. No ones ever nice to me, yet you are. Why are you nice to me? Want something in return?"
Want something...! He means! No!
"N-No! Why would you think I would want anything in return? I'm not that way. I wouldn't ask you do things like that for me. And if you can't trust that, then there is a lock on the door, so you know I wont be able to come in."
"I trust you, Misaki-chan. Its just...no, it doesn't matter. I trust Misaki-chan."
His words make my face gain a pink colour. He trusts me. I pick up his clothes and also the Inu-chan of his. He looks reluctant to give it to me, but I offer a reassuring smile which seems to sooth him.
I leave the room with the clothes and toy. After I get out, I head towards Usagi-san. I should tell him about Makoto-kun being here. I wonder how he will take it...
I get to the room and knock lightly.
"Misaki. What do you want?"
I hear from the other side of the door.
"Can I come in?"
"Quickly."
I open the door. His eyes turn from his computer and immediately, they study me. No, they are studying the clothes in my hands.
"Misaki. Those clothes...are you planning to wear dirty clothes to seduce me?"
I do a spit take! He doesn't seriously think that I would do that, does he? Wearing dirty clothes to seduce him? And these clothes...I wouldn't be able to wear them. They are child sized. Even though he is 15, he still looks quite young for his age.
"N-No you idiot! These clothes...are my friends."
His eyes narrow at me. Ehehe, is he jealous again?
"Your...friends? Your friends with someone who dresses so dirtily? And where is this friend of yours?"
"He's in the bath. Let me explain."
I then start explaining about what happened today. With me meeting Makoto-kun and asking him to come home with me. After the explanation, Usagi-san just gives me an emotionless stare.
"Usagi-san?"
"Misaki. This boy, he can't stay here. For one, it is against the law to kidnap a child who is 15 years of age. You should've taken him to the police and they would've sorted out the child. What are you thinking bringing him here? Its giving him false hope. We can't have a child here. If anyone found out, we would be both arrested for abducting a child."
"B-But Usagi-san! He's scared. I saw it from his green eyes. He doesn't want to go home. I believe he may have been abused, even sexually abused perhaps. I don't know what possessed me to bring him here, I can't let him go."
Usagi-san sighs at me.
"Listen. Having a boy his age isn't like having a child or a pet. Its very serious. His parents might of abused the child, but it doesn't mean you can take him home because you felt sorry for him. There are places for children to live if home isn't suitable."
If home isn't suitable...he can't mean...orphanage?
"He can't! Usagi-san! He can't go to an orphanage. That's why he didn't want me to take him to the police. Usagi-san please, don't make me send him away or to the police."
"Misaki. Your intentions are noble. But, at the end of the day, he is still a minor. No matter how you cut it. He has to go."
He has to go...I promised...
"I said he was safe with me. If he has to go...then that makes me a liar Usagi-san. I don't want to be a liar."
"You shouldn't of promised him anything then. Misaki..."
"I can't Usagi-san. I can't let him go now. It sounds strange, but..."
He puts a hand on my shoulder, he kisses me on the lips. Not a hungry kiss, a kiss of comforting.
"Misaki. I'm sorry..."
"No, I know you are right. We could get into trouble if we let him stay. But I don't care. He is, I care about him. I get the feeling no one cared about him at his home. His whole demeanour screams suffering. He even asked if I wanted anything in return. And I'm pretty sure he meant something sexual. Please just hear him out."
"Misaki...alright. We can hear him out. And then, make up our minds, together."
I smile in appreciation. Hearing out Makoto-kun is a good thing. At least Usagi-san can then make a decision based on the facts.
"Thank you, Usagi-san. I love you, Usagi-san."
"I love you, Misaki."
I hug him, he hugs me back. This is our love. A minute later, we break the hug.
"Is he cute?"
"Eh?"
I raise an eyebrow at the question.
"Is this boy, cute? We could ask him to join in on our fun."
I slap him in the back of the head! Suggesting something so preposterous like that!
"Don't be an idiot Usagi-san! He's only 15 you stupid idiot!"
"He's past the age of consent, you know?"
I can't believe I'm hearing this. Asking Makoto-kun to have sex with us...no! I can't ask him to do that!
"S-Shut up Usagi-san! I'm not asking Makoto-kun to get involved with us! Did you not hear when I said that he might've been abused!?"
"Relax. I was only kidding, or was I?"
I seriously don't know if he was kidding or not. I sigh a little and head downstairs. I've told Usagi-san what I wanted to say. I go and put Makoto-kun's clothes in the washer with the other clothes Usagi-san left by the washer for me. Ooh right! Some clothes for Makoto-kun. I quickly put the dog plush in some water then I rush off upstairs and go into my room.
I know my clothes will be a little big, but its better than nothing. I gather some clothes and head back towards the bathroom. I place them on the floor and knock on the door.
"Makoto-kun. I left some clothes outside the door."
"Thanks Misaki-chan!"
I go down the stairs again and into the kitchen to wash this dog of his. As I'm washing it, Usagi-san comes down the stairs, and he wordlessly pushes me against the counter and captures my lips with his own! Usagi-sans lips.
"Usagi-san! S-Stop it!"
"Why Misaki? You want it, right?"
His tongue goes to my earlobe and starts licking it. S-Stop Usagi-san.
"N-Not now! Makoto-kun will come down!"
"That's fine. He might want to join in."
I sigh heavily and push off Usagi-san. He pouts at me, but I shrug him off. I then continue washing the dog plush.
Sometime later, a clean Makoto-kun comes down. The clothes he's wearing are too big on him like I thought before. Still its better than nothing. He comes over and hands me the towel with a smile. I place the towel in the dirty hamper for it to get washed later.
"I knew there was a cute boy underneath that dirt and grime."
"Misaki-chan. Don't be embarrassing."
"Oh, I wasn't trying to be embarrassing. Inu-chan is just drying. He's all washed and clean. But Makoto-kun. Usagi...Akihiko-san and I need to ask you something's."
He tilts his head to the side in a perplexed manner.
"W-What things?"
"Come over to the couch with me."
He nods. We go over to the couch and sit down next to one another. Usagi-san sits opposite us.
"Y-You are Usami Akihiko-sama?"
"Heh, heard of me then?"
Makoto-kun nods. He looks at the BL novel on the coffee table...
"Usami-sama. This BL novel. I think I read this...I mean you have something's like this?"
He reads, BL novels? Is he...gay? I shouldn't think such things. He might just of read one once or something.
"Yeah, they are...something I like."
So Usagi-san isn't going to tell him then. Usagi-sans face becomes a little serious.
"So, your name is Makoto right?" Makoto-kun nods shyly, "You know, Misaki promised you something he shouldn't of."
"By letting me stay here, I know. I heard from the bathroom."
He heard us speaking. The walls must be thin.
"Right."
"I-If I can have my clothes, then I will leave and be out of your hair forever. I'm sorry for troubling you Usami-sama. And you Misaki-chan. You have been kind enough. Letting me have a bath, washing my clothes and Inu-chan. Thank you for everything."
"No need to thank me or rather us Makoto-kun. It is something someone nice would do anyway. But, you don't have to leave. Just, tell us what happened for you to run away. If you heard then Usagi-san said that he would listen to you. Then, we can go from there."
At that, he become silent.
"Look kid. Its either tell us, or you will have to go."
"Usagi-san! Don't say it like that. Makoto-kun. If you don't want to speak. Nod or shake your head when I or Usagi-san asks a question, ok?" He nods his head. Ok so he is going to answer with a nod or a shake of his head. "Makoto-kun, have you been abused, sexually?"
He nods his head with teary eyes.
"By your, Otou-sama?"
He again nods his head. So, his father actually abused him sexually.
"My Okaa-sama hates me. She calls me a whore because Otou-sama says I'm his favourite and she's jealous. I told the police, but they didn't believe me. So, I ran away. No one believes me. That's why, I would rather live on the streets than take my chances with my family or an orphanage. I've heard about orphanages and I don't want to go there. Misaki-chan, Usami-sama. Once my clothes are clean, I'll leave and you wont have to think about me again. I'll be fine on my own."
"No! You, can't leave. Its fine to stay here. Right, Usagi-san?"
Usagi-san closes his eyes. I don't know what he is thinking. The boy, Makoto-kun is shaking a little. I wrap an arm around him, to comfort him. He whimpers a little at the touch. Poor Makoto-kun, he has been through a lot.
"Even though we will get into trouble, you boy can stay, for now."
"Usagi-san. Thank you, Usagi-san."
"He's your responsibility Misaki."
My responsibility huh. I can live with that.
"Ok Usagi-san! Makoto-kun! You can stay with me!"
"R-Really? Is it alright? I can still leave. I honestly wouldn't mind at all."
"No. You can stay here with me and Usagi-san! Not to worry, I will look after you, and keep you safe, always."
He smiles at me and hugs me tightly! His small body presses against my own, which makes me blush a little. It is different to Usagi-sans body. His body is big and powerful. Makoto-kun's body is small and weak. Different to Usagi-sans body, yet I kind of like it...
Usagi-san looks at us with a little pervy smile. Usagi-san you pervert! He's thinking about Makoto-kun and I having sex! Although, he would be the uke between us...no, I can't think like that. Makoto-kun's too innocent to do things like that and he has already experienced the body of a disgusting man, a sick bastard who rapes a child. He might never want to be touched by anyone again.
"Misaki-chan. I'm happy you talked to me today."
"Hehe, I'm happy I stopped and talked to you. Now, lets get some food!"
"Ok, Misaki-chan!"
Usagi-san smiles as Makoto-kun cheered. Usagi-san is someone I love very much, and Makoto-kun is the boy I helped. I just hope we three can stay together, forever.
AN; Soooo, that was the first chapter. Like it said in the description box, this will be a Akihiko/Misaki/Oc story. Please tell me what you think, thank you for reading!
