Cloths (normally): a pair of baggy black jeans, a deep red t-shirt, a few chain belts, three chain necklaces, a bunch of red and black jellies cover his wrists, and a silver rose pendent
Tohru, Uo, Hana, Yuki, and Kyo were all leaving school when Tohru saw someone familiar leaning against the gate.
"Ryu!" Tohru called running over.
"Ryuichi's back." Uo said smiling as Tohru hugged the boy at the gate.
"Who is that?" Yuki asked. He and Tohru had just started dating and now Tohru was clinging to another guy.
"He's Tohru's cousin, Ryuichi, Tohru's been talking about him coming for weeks!" Uo said cheerfully. "He's a real character once he stops being so nervous. He has a huge mouth though, never knows when to shut up." She laughed.
"She's been planning this? She never mentioned it…" Yuki said.
"Yuki! Kyo! I want you to come meet my cousin!" Tohru called. They walked over and Kyo's eyes locked on Ryuichi.
/ He must not eat much, he's way too thin…needs a hair cut too, like his eyes, good color for him…a silver rose, he's a pretty boy isn't he… a pair of wings and I'd think I'd seen an angel… / Kyo thought looking Ryu over.
"This is my cousin Ryuichi, we're really close. He's really sweet, and funny, and nice…." Tohru continued babbling and Ryuichi just laughed.
"I think they get the point Tohru, that I'm not a mad axe murderer who's bent on destroying the world." Ryuichi laughed.
"I got exited…" Tohru laughed. "Anyways, this is Yuki-kun, and this is Kyo-kun, you remember Uo-chan and Hana-chan from the last time you were here, I talked to Shigure and he said it would be fine if you stayed with us for a while."
"Yep, hey." Ryu said smiling.
"You're related to Honda-san? You look absolutely nothing alike." Yuki said looking at them.
"Yup, I just look weird but we're related." Ryuichi said. After talking to Hana and Uo the four started walking to Shigure's house. They got to know each other much better.
Ryuichi ended up going to bed early saying he was really tired but had absolutely no intention of going to sleep when he got up there. He was sharing a room with Kyo while he was staying there so all hiss stuff was already there. Ryu went over to his backpack and pulled out a black cloth and a small, but extremely sharp, knife. He plopped down on his sleeping bag and took off the jellies on his right wrist reviling many scars. He cut into his flesh and watched the blood trickle down his arm.
/
Funny…it doesn't even hurt, am I dead or something? If I'm
cutting myself it should hurt… / Ryuichi thought he cut himself a
few more times before wiping the blood away with the cloth. After
cleaning the wound up he wrapped a bandage around them. Finally
finishing up he put away the knife and now bloodied cloth and yawned
widely. He curled up in his sleeping bad and drifted into a dreamless
sleep.
Kyo's POV
Kyo watched as Ryuichi hopped up the stairs happily but something was truly wrong.
/ He looks so happy but…why do I get the feeling he's depressed? His eyes…every time I look at them he looks like he's about to cry…damn, I should stop thinking so much, probably just my imagination. / Kyo thought. He shrugged it off but the thought kept bugging him. After about an hour they decided to cal it a night and went to their rooms. Kyo walked in and felt something warm and wet on his foot. He looked down and recognized the liquid as blood.
"Wha…? Blood but the only one…" he looked over to the sleeping bag. "Ryu! Wake up you idiot!" Kyo said shaking him but Ryuichi just wouldn't wake up. Kyo noticed the bandage on Ryu's arm and could figure out that Ryuichi had done this to himself.
/ Why…? Why the hell would he do something like this? He's beautiful…not like me… why does he do this to himself…// Kyo thought watching Ryuichi sleep. He looked down and his hard ruby eyes met Ryuichi's wide red ones.
"Kyo-kun? What's wrong?" Ryuichi asked.
"You! You've been cutting yourself haven't you!" Kyo yelled holding up Ryu's right wrist.
"Yes…please don't hit me!" Ryu cried.
"Wha…? Why would I hit you?" Kyo asked worry evident in his voice now.
"My parents hit me…for being gay, and anything else I do wrong…" Ryuichi said still expecting Kyo to hit him. "I never meant to do anything wrong…for once I thought I wouldn't mess up… I can't do anything right!" Ryuichi cried.
"Shut the hell up! You're perfect and you shouldn't think anything else!" Kyo shouted at the smaller boy. Ryuichi stopped crying and looked at Kyo wide-eyed. "You heard me right…I think you're perfect… soft white hair, bright red eyes, and you're too nice…" Kyo sighed. "Anyone would love to be you…"
"You're wrong…everyone hates me back at home…my hair is too long and my eyes are a freaky color. I'm anything but nice, I lied to you…" Ryuichi said staring at the floor.
"So? My whole family hates me, everything's wrong with me." Kyo said stroking the boys' head. He kept petting the boy until Ryuichi stopped crying. "Ryuichi, promise me one thing, don't cut yourself. It's dangerous, you could die…"
"…Fine… let me sleep with you tonight? Please?" Ryuichi asked pouting cutely.
"Okay." Kyo said. They both climbed up to the bed and Ryuichi snuggled up to Kyo.
