So, I had no real inspiration to finish the second chapter of Heartache and Healing (though I am almost done). I had this idea for a while, so I finally decided to type it and put it up. I hope you guys like it!

Give me a break for not updating my other story. I promise I will have it up by the end of this weekend!

He was running, blonde hair falling loose from his neat ponytail. He didn't care anymore; he just had to get away. Blood was dripping down his chin from his bitten lip, and he wiped it carelessly on his white coat sleeve. Someone was following him, and he was scared; they were now chasing him. Suddenly the blonde tripped and collided with the concrete. He skidded forward on his hands, causing them to bleed. Tears started to fall down his cheeks as he lay on the ground. He was suddenly pulled upward forcefully and shoved against a tree. The blonde looked up at the man who had been chasing him with fear in his golden eyes; the taller man chuckled and kissed the blonde's neck. He shuddered, more tears escaping his eyes, and the other man continued to move his hands all over the blonde's thin body….

Krad sat up with a scream, his eyes wide. He was taking in shallow breaths, trying to steady his fast beating heart. He put a hand to his forehead, feeling for a fever; he didn't have one but still felt incredibly hot. Krad rubbed a hand over his face then looked at it sadly, frowning at the scars. He stood up and carelessly threw his blankets back over his bed. He walked across the dorm room and into the bathroom, stripping his pajamas off and turning the shower on. Krad stepped into the warm water and washed his hair and body. When he stepped out, turning the water off and wrapping a towel around his waist, he heard a 'click' sound from his bedroom door. Opening the bathroom door and stepping into the room, a half naked Krad was greeted with a purple haired boy of about the same age. He immediately blushed and ran back into the bathroom, locking the door.

Dark walked through the dorm with his suitcase in one hand and a duffel bag in the other. The dorm manager, Satoshi was his name, had given him a key with the number 208 on its key chain. The purple haired man had spent twenty minutes looking for his room; he was getting pissed. After turning a corner, he almost collided with another student. Bowing slightly, Dark smiled at the red haired boy.

"Sorry for almost knocking you over. Hey, could you tell me where room 208 is?"

The red haired boy looked up at him and nodded, "It's the fourth door on your left over there. I'm Daisuke by the way."

"I'm Dark. Thanks for the help. It was nice to meet you," he replied and bowed again.

Dark smiled at the red head, and they went separate ways. Dark walked over to the room and stuck the key in the lock, turning it slowly to unlock the door. He pushed it open, pulled his key out and looked around the room. The first thing he noticed was a half naked, dripping wet blonde standing in the middle of the room. Dark grinned slightly and stepped into the room. As soon as he moved, the blonde ran to the bathroom and slammed the door. Dark rubbed the back of his head with a questioning look on his face. He shrugged and tossed his duffel bag on the obviously unused bed; he set his suitcase at the foot of the bed, not bothering to unpack anything, and laid down on his new bed.

The bathroom door soon opened to reveal a fully clothed blonde with a slightly annoyed expression on his face. Dark sat up on his bed and waved at the blonde.

"Hey, I'm Dark."

Krad looked over at him and bowed slightly, "I'm Krad. Satoshi told me you would be coming today, but I thought it would be a lot later."

Dark stood up and looked at him, "Uh, okay. Well, could you show me around since I've never been here before?"

Krad looked at him, finally being able to see the dark haired boy clearly. Dark was taller that him by a few inches, had shoulder length dark purple-ish hair and beautiful amethyst eyes. Dark looked at the blonde and grinned, noticing his stare. Dark took a step closer to Krad, setting his hands on the blonde's thin waist. Krad tensed, breaking out of his trance, and looked at the taller man with wide eyes. Dark leaned in close to him, watching Krad's eyes become wider. Dark couldn't help himself; he leaned in and closed the distance between himself and the blond, softly kissing the pale lips. Krad whimpered, melting into the kiss, until Dark pulled away. Krad looked up at him with fear in his eyes and shoved Dark away; Krad ran out of the room and down the hallway, leaving Dark standing in the bedroom.

Krad kept running down the hallway; his lips were tingling, and he didn't understand why. Krad slowed down gradually until he was walking. He touched his finger to his lips and stopped; he could still feel Dark's lips on his. Dark had tasted like cinnamon, and it made Krad flustered. He shook his head, trying to get rid of his current thoughts. Satoshi walked up behind him and set a hand on the blonde's shoulder.

"Hey, Krad, what are you up to?" the blue haired boy smiled.

Krad jumped slightly at the contact and turned to Satoshi, "Ah, Satoshi. I am just walking around."

"I can see that. So, how's the new roommate?" he asked.

Krad's eyes got wide and he blushed, "He just got here before I left the room. I'm not sure I like him."

"Eh? Why not?"

"He's a pervert!" Krad shouted, drawing some attention to their conversation.

Satoshi looked around and pulled Krad down the hallway with him.

"Satoshi!"

Satoshi smiled at him, "I know Dark; he's Daisuke's older brother. He's not a bad guy, Krad."

Krad looked at him, allowing Satoshi to lead him back to his room. Satoshi smiled again and stopped with Krad in front of his door.

"I didn't know Daisuke had an older brother," whispered Krad.

"He hasn't seen him in a while because Dark has been studying in America. He suddenly decided to come back to Japan for college. He's the same age as you, you know."

Krad tilted his head, "Do I really care, Sato? I don't know him or anything about him. He scared me, that's why I ran out."

Satoshi set his hand on the door knob and frowned, "How did he scare you?"

Krad touched his lips again. Did he really scare me, or did I like it? He shook his head and looked at his younger brother. Satoshi was looking at him weird, and Krad smiled sadly.

"He kissed me, Sato, simple as that."

Krad turned the knob on his door and was about to walk in when Satoshi grabbed his arm.

"Are you okay? Did he do anything else? Why did he kiss you? Krad, I'm so sorry…."

Satoshi continued to ramble on and on until Krad shook him slightly. Satoshi looked up at his brother who was smiling slightly.

"I'm fine, Sato, no worries at all. Don't feel bad because you had nothing to do with what happened."

Satoshi nodded, "Alright, just… Don't get hurt, okay? I know you, Krad, and you fall pretty easily."

"What did you just say? I do not, Satoshi. I've never been in love; I was only used!" Krad had tears in his eyes.

"Krad, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring anything up."

Krad smiled at him sadly, "It's okay, I promise. You're going to be late, so get to class."

Satoshi nodded and ran off down the hallway. Krad opened the door slowly, tears falling down his cheeks as he silently cried. He closed the door softly, locking it, and slid down to the floor. He pulled his knees to his chest and laid his face against one knee, tears still falling from his golden eyes.

"Krad?"

He tensed, pulling his legs closer to him, and closed his eyes. Dark stepped closer to him and set his hand on Krad's head.

"Krad? Are you okay?"

Krad ignored him again, silently wishing the dark haired man would just leave him alone. Dark moved his hand to Krad's shoulder, lifting him up to face him. Dark looked at him, but Krad wouldn't meet his eyes.

"Krad, you've got tears falling down your cheeks. I'm sorry, Krad. I shouldn't have kissed you; I don't know what I was thinking. I'm so sorry."

Krad looked up at him with fear in his eyes, biting his lip. Dark smiled at him slightly, and Krad looked away again, refusing to look into amethyst eyes.

"Krad, please. I'm really sorry. It wasn't my place. I-"

Dark froze as soft lips pressed to his. Apples. Dark put his hands on the wall on either side of Krad's head. He stepped closer, kissing back. Krad melted into the kiss even though his thoughts screamed at him to stop. He held onto Dark's upper arms; he could feel his knees giving out. Just as quickly as it happened, the kiss ended. Dark pulled away from Krad with a guilty expression on his face. Krad opened his eyes and looked up at him. Dark smiled sadly and pulled away from Krad, holding him at arm's length. Krad looked up at him with scared eyes.

"D-Dark?"

Dark patted his head, "Sorry, again. I was caught up in the moment."

Dark let him go, and Krad slid back to the floor, landing softly on his knees. He watched as Dark quietly left the room. Krad stayed on the floor, staring at his hands.

So, how was it? It's going to get more intense as things go on, so you better be ready for it. I plan to have the next chapter of this story up after I update Heartache and Healing.
