Escape the Lullaby
The stench of the cold, white walls beat against his nose and made his eyes water. Five years should have been plenty of time to get used to it, but the icy sting of chemicals still made his hardened stomach sick.
Cheap, olive green fabric hung from his sickly frame, chilled with sweat. Harsh, muffled sounds of breathing echoed in the dank room that was lit by a sole light bulb dangling from a wire. The pale, huddled form of a teenage boy was curled in a corner. His head was tucked between his knees; the shocking white of his hair and twitching cat ears gave him an exotic appearance. The boy clutched his snow-colored arm that appeared to be dotted with inflamed needle marks.
Suddenly, something changed. Up went a soft ear, the ragged panting ceased and the fetal body became completely still. A faint groaning of metal echoed through the walls. The light bulb flickered once, twice, and then went dark.
Warily, the boy stood. Glancing around like a skittish animal, he walked tentatively towards the thick, beige doors.
A long fingered hand brushed the handle, and then, with an unexpected sense of confidence, he seized and proceeded to turn it. A quiet click, and the door opened. Peering down the long, dark hall, the boy left the room silently.
At first he timidly walked, glancing up and down the deserted pathway. Slowly his speed began to increase, climaxing into a full-fledged, desperate run. His breathing became harsh again, and his under-worked lungs strained against his ribs for air. A bright exit sign pierced the dim shadows of the corridor, it seemed as if he would never reach it when…
Bursting out of the building, he skidded to a halt. Gasping, he doubled over, his breath misting in the cool spring air. When his heart had stopped pounding, he stood back up. A pair of brilliant pink eyes flashed as he took in the evening-lit surroundings.
As he was staring at a nearby forest, the atmosphere shifted and he froze. Pale limbs froze and his eyes went wide. After a tense moment of held breath, white ears twitched, and with a nimble bound, he was off into the black woods.
A rustle came from a nearby bush. Unknown to the albino boy, a tall man with shoulder-length blue hair and glasses had been watching him from behind a hedge. The adult stood, leaning casually against the cement wall of the building. Sharp, hawk-like eyes gazed in the direction that the captive had escaped…

A/N: Oh myy!! Who's the strange man?! (any guesses? X3) Don't try to figure out who the boy is, he's a mysterious OC made by moi… Please don't hate him! I'll try to keep this devoid of any MarySue-ishness.
Now, how will the plot turn out?? How does our cute black-haired shota idol fit into this….? Please read Ch. 1, much much RABU!! (Promptly gets punched for being such an annoying fangirl). Don't hurt me… I'm really not that demented….
Disclaimer: I do not claim to own Loveless, that belongs to Yun Kouga. I only take possession of my OC, who's named later on, please do not steal him.
