Prologue

Chiaki clung to me desperately, sobbing, as Hatori left. I held him close, warming him, comforting him. Hatori didn't look back once, even with Chiaki's aching eyes on his back. That bastard.. I bet he never even cared for Chiaki.. I mean, of course I'm over joyed that he is gone, and I can now have Chiaki all to myself, a chance to be with him, but I can't stand to see him cry.. I just want to see that adorable smile of his again..

Chiaki looks at me a few moments after Hatori is gone with his eyes full of vulnerability, you can tell he is trying to hold back the tears.. I kiss his forehead, ''Do you want to go back inside now?" I ask in a gentle tone, and I get a nod as a response. I pick Chiaki up, he is not in any condition to be walking, and recieve a stubborn, flustered expression in responce. Ah.. It mightnot be that hard to get the cheery Chiaki he used to be back.. His stubborness still shows.. I thank a woman who holds the door open for us, and ascend to the top floor where my apartment is.

Chiaki fell asleep in my arms when we were in the elevator, making our way up. He looks adorable when he is sleeping.. I can't wait to lay in my bed next to him.. To hold him all night, and feel his chest rise and fall while he's in my arms.. I bite my lip with anticipation, as the elevator beeps on the third floor, and opens, as an elderly woman enters. I bow my head, and return the gentle smile she is supporting. She doesn't press any buttons, just lets the elevator continue to it's original destination.

I leave the elevator with Chiaki when it reaches the top floor and the doors open, and I make my way to my apartment anxiously. I struggle with my keys for what seems to be forever before I unlock the door, and make my way inside, kicking the door closed behind me, as well as locking it. I make my way to my room after taking off my shoes, and attempt to lay Chiaki on the bed, ''No.. Tori..'' Chiaki mumbles. I feel my grip tighten on his hip in anger, and my breath hitch. I calm my grip as to not hurt him, even though he seemed to not notice, and lay down with him in my arms, laying him beside me, taking his shoes off, and putting the blanket over us. Why did he have to say his name.. Ugh.. I guess I can't just expect him to automatically forget about Hatori after he leaves.. I wish he would, though.

I said I would post the first chapter today.. Does this count as the first chapter..? :O
I hope you enjoyed it, I enjoyed writing it!
