Hiya! I know this is another fanfic but this came to mind when I was walking around and I just had to write it out. I just wanted reviews on it! Good and Bad are accepted!

Here's a little story about HoroXRen on domestic Violence.

Might write up more chapters but anyway Please RxR!

This wasn't like the usual times, No. This had somehow turned serious. But it was always serious, wasn't it? It was always serious to you. Those looks, those feelings, your actions, they were all for me, all those false smiles, empty eyes.

Always for me.

"Ren" His voice was quiet, his stance weak. Lifting his hand slowly, he held it out towards me, shaking. The pain had settled now, struggling through sheer will to stand. He was amazing. Something I had never seen before.

His smile was warm, but the sight wasn't. Blood stained face, burst eyebrow and lip. Torn clothes, bruised body and blood stained shirt. Yet, you still smiled at me. That warm smile.

My eyes burned, every time I witnessed this sight. My eyes would burn, my vision blurred and warm tears stained my face.

"I'm sorry" Falling to my knees, looking to my hands for an explanation. It had happened again.

The warmth from the blood that stained my hands, it wasn't mine. How did this happen again? I promised, I had promised!

His hands gently placed over mine, closing them, gently lifting my head to meet his clear azure eyes, and that happy smile.

"Ren, it's okay."

My body was shaken, with those three words; I lost all control of my body. Tears that I had never thought I had, streamed from my eyes, burning just that burning feeling. He winced, holding onto his chest, then leaned in gently, pressing his lips onto mine. The taste of iron filled my mouth, that taste, I always remembered that taste. I shouldn't have liked it. But I loved it.

He gently parted from me, and slowly pushed himself up to his feet, his hand gently swiped across his face, smearing the blood more. "I'll run the bath for you." He looked down once more to me. And smiled that warm smile, as though none of this were my fault, but how? How could you always look at me like that especially… especially after this?

"Horo…" He didn't hear me or rather he had but decided to ignore it. I could never figure him out. I could never tell what he was thinking. But on nights like these, on the nights when I act out, I knew what he's thinking.

He pities me, he'll leave me. I can't have him, leave me. One word slipped from Rens mouth unconsciously as tears welled up in his eyes again "Sunday…"

*Flashback*

"Sunday!"

"Hmm…?" Looking up from his work, he gently tilted his glasses to the tip of his nose to look at his lover in question. "What about Sunday?"

His lovers grin grew, then he swiftly moved behind the small Tao and gently placed his hands down onto his Chinese lovers petite shoulders, then leaned gently down to him and whispered into his ear "It's you're Birthday, Renny."

Crumpling the sides of his jotter, his face turned crimson 'My birthday…' Setting the jotter down to the table gently, and placing his glasses on top of them, he looked into the Azure eyes, and smiled as Horo Usui smiled with love down to him. "We promised not to celebrate it"

"No, see that's where you're wrong" His smile grew, as he made his way to the seat opposite Ren Tao. "You made a promise that you wouldn't celebrate it." Grinning to himself and leaning on the chair, his arms behind his head Horo couldn't help but beam with joy "I have plans. Great plans"

The deep sigh couldn't be helped. Every time Horo threw a celebration they both ended up in so many random forms with random bruises on their bodies, or embarrassing photo's that Hao had uploaded to the net.

"I'm busy…"

"On a Sunday? Come on Ren it's just one day. What harm could come of it?" His smile grew then he leaned in closer to his lover, and gently stroked his hand "One day, okay?"

Ren said once more before returning a warm smile to the Ainu "Sure, I guess we can do something then."

*End Flashback*

Horo sighed to himself, sitting down beside the bath. The water was warm and he had washed off most of the blood making sure not to get any in the bath. He remembered the last time he had done that. Unconsciously he rubbed his head, and sighed again. Fake smiles, he had gotten good at that. But it was the only thing that ever calmed Ren down at times like this.

"I promised I'd never leave you" resting his head onto his arm and wincing slightly, he stirred the bubbles around in the bath "What happened to us…?"

*Flashback*

The house was quiet; Ren took a couple of steps into the dark house and gently set his keys into the basket by the door.

"Horo…?"

He took a couple of steps further into the corridor, the only thing that could be heard where his own footsteps. It was cold and empty without him here. A creek could be heard in the living room. Ren's ears pricked up, he quickly looked around him for a weapon, nothing. He narrowed his eyes, then slowly moved towards the living room door. He was prepared, fists clenched, body tensed, anything that came at him, he could divert, block or counter-attack. He was prepared.

He hid by the door, but before he could do anything, Horo appear out from nowhere, and pulled Ren into the sitting room. The room was filled with flowers, flowers that were all addressed to Ren. Roses, Tulips, Daisies, anything Horo thought looked pretty. He smiled then kissed Ren on the lips "Happy Birthday Renny."

That night was perfect, so they had thought.

*End Flashback*

Ren lowered his head, his bangs covering the disgraceful tears that stained his face. Clenching his fists tightly, one thought came to mind. That one thought that he had resisted for so long.

He gripped onto the wall and pulled himself up, then made his way out the room and down the hall, he stood at the door and looked to Horo Usui at the bath, gently swirling the bubbles around like it were art.

Ren gently lifted his head, his eyes glinting with hate and disgrace. He took a step into the bathroom, and then shut the door gently behind him.
