Mukahi Gakuto has never wanted anything more than to please his family.
His father calls him a faggot. He dates lots of girls to prove him wrong.
His mother calls him a fat pig. He stops eating sweets.
His father still calls him a faggot. He quits dancing
His mother still calls him a fat pig. He stops eating everything.
His father still calls him a faggot. He quits tennis.
His mother, again, calls him a fat pig when he starts eating because he can't deny the hunger pangs any longer. He starts throwing up all his meals after he eats.
His older sister calls him a loudmouthed brat. He stops speaking his opinions and standing up for what he believes in.
His younger brother calls him a waste of space. He makes plans to fix that.
Oshitari Yuushi calls him one night and tells him he was perfect. He tells him he was absolutely gorgeous, with his flexible hips, soft skin, lithe frame. He tells him he misses his fiery personality. He tells him he misses the way he never backed down from a challenge and how he would always stand up firmly for what he believes in. He tells him he misses him during tennis practice, he tells him he misses watching him flip across the courts. He tells him he misses watching him in dance competitions with his dance group. He tells him that he was the most perfect boy in the world who never let anything get him down. He tells him he misses his old doubles partner. He says 'I love you'.
Gakuto cries and flushes the pills that would of ended his life that night down the toilet.
Words are the best weapon, and the best healer.
