" I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!!"

he screamed storming towards the rooms where the members of previous squad 13 lived , with fresh tears in the corner of his eyes ready to trail down on the already wet path along his cheeks which were created by tears earlier when he broke down infront of mitsuru and kokoro his fellow companion who was on the floor with blood dripping from his mouth and the girl he loved more than anyone else who was kneeling besides mitsuru when he heard the most heart breaking sentence in his life

"from now on I'll protect her, i promise."

he entered one of the rooms, shutting the door close behind him and leaning against the door thinking about that exact sentence over and over again in his head those words that hurt him to point where he was going to break, he felt an unbearable pain gushing in his heart almost as if his heart was bleeding literally inside his chest, for he knew those words meant that he lost the love of his life to someone else. he hugged a dusty pillow close to his heart and cried in it, dampning the pillow, he then laid on one of the dusty bed still crying and slowly his eyes start to waver, they felt exhausted almost begging to be shut down for a rest, and before he knew he slowly slumbered into a sleep.

' i wanna protect you the best way i can'

'so...could you promise to be my partner forever.'

then he heard her sweet voice

'yes, i promise.'...

'SO, anyone else wanna change their partners' asked nana.

'let me try riding with mitsuru' she said while raising her hand . his mind suddenly went blank not being able to grasp what happened then he snapped back

'Yakusoku-te...'

' Y-You promised...' tears almost on the verge of flowing down his cheeks.

'Gomene, futoshi-kun'

' I'm sorry, futoshi'

his mind almost on the verge of breaking

"kokoro chan!!!!!!" he screamed as he woke up with his hands in the air almost as if trying to reach something or someone, he then looked around he was in his bed it was probably early morning he probably slept for a whole day he looked around to see if any of his friends were there then he realized he wasn't is his room and remembered the events of the day before, he slowly wrapped his hand around his knees sitting in a fetal position.

"why...?" he uttered in the lowest possible decibel that could be heard by human ears.

"why did you leave me kokoro-chan?"

"what did i do wrong?" "you promised that you will be my partner forever then why did you break your promise?" he asked these questions perhaps expectingly to hear any answer from these dusty rooms, "i loved you, i wanted to be your partner forever i wanted to protect you" and before he knew it tears started rolling down his cheeks again, he felt hopeless, not wanting to go on doing anything perhaps not even wanting to go on living, he slowly started falling back onto the bed perhaps hoping to fall asleep and never wake up so that he can escape this harsh reality that was waiting for him outside this room,but the saner thoughts prevailed he somehow found the courage to get up walk towards the door, he put is hands on the handle

'i don't know how I'll be able to face them now' he thought before turning the handle to open the door.

--

" I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!!" he screamed as he ran past them towards the corridor of sealed rooms where the previous squad 13 lived. the rest of the group just stood there in trance they knew he was hurt but they never saw futoshi act like this before

hiro looked at him and thought 'he must really be hurt, i wish i could help him but right now it's best to let him vent it all out, I'll talk to him tomorrow'

zero two looked at hiro and saw the worry look on his face and said "don't worry darling, I'll never go with anyone else you, you're only mine and I'm only yours daaarlinggg" streching the last word almost saying it in a seductive tone.

goro and Ichigo also thought that it's best to let futoshi vent it all out and that it would be better to talk to him tomorrow

zorome looks at miku and thinks 'how would i react if miku decides to leave me, i should try to be a better partner to her'

ikuno looks at the way futoshi ran and thinks 'now this drama, why do people depend on each other to be hurt soo much like that, although i do feel bad for him'

mitsuru starts to walk away without even caring about what happened and says "i can't understand that Fatty's emotions i told him I'll take care of kokoro, he should stop whining and move on, just creating a rukus to draw attention" and walks out

kokoro then says almost in a whimper "i really hurt him...".

the rest of the day went by, dinner time comes but futoshi didn't come to the table everyone's was surprised and worried, since he never did miss his dinner the name plump given to his franxx wasn't just coincidence it was because of his eating habit, everyone looked at each other hoping that someone would get up and go to futoshi and bring him to the table but his last words

" I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!!" kept coming back to everyone's memories, then hiro got up and said

"I will try to bring futoshi" and walks towards the corridor with sealed rooms, he reaches the room where futoshi was and before he was about to knock he hears something

"koko...kokoro..., kokoro you promised"

"you promised kokoro, why"

"why why why" 'he must be having a bad dream' thought hiro 'it would be best to let him be for now, I'll talk to him tomorrow when he's in a better mood' thinks hiro before turning around and walking back to the room his friends were in eating silently on the dinner table.

kokoro was the first to ask "where's futoshi, is he coming?" hiro looks at her and for a brief moment he feels anger towards her for the way she ended things with futoshi he keeps thinking about what futoshi was saying in his sleep, it looked like kokoro made him a promise of some kind of not leaving him and then broke it

kokoro notices the anger in his eyes then hero snaps back and answers almost in a joking manner "no no no need to worry, he said he's feeling a little tired and would rather rest for now and come out tomorrow morning" he lied to his friends thinking 'this is the right thing to say, i would rather not have everyone worry over futoshi'.

everyone looked at hiro and they all knew that he was lying, but no one says anything else as if to accept the lie that was better than the truth and resume their dinner , but there were no talks that night,no jokes, no celebration for the defeat of the gaint Klaxosaur today there was just silence and then everyone went to their perticular room to sleep.

at late night when everyone were asleep, kokoro gets up slowly not to wake anyone else up gets out of her room and starts to walk towards the room futoshi was in, she wasn't going to wake him up to have a chat with him for she knew that she's the last person he would want to see now, but rather she just wanted to check up on him to see weather he was doing ok for she was greatly affected by his outburst today she felt that she hurt him really bad and that it was her duty to check up on him.

she arrives near his room reaching for the handle to open the door when she heard voices from inside the room, they were low but could be heard by someone standing near the door, and there was just one sentence she would hear over and over again from inside the room

"why Kokoro-chan" "why di you leave me" "why why why" the voices were too painful to hear, small crystal like tears began to form in the corner of her eyes slowly finding their way down her cheeks by now she knew that he was having a really bad dream about the betrayal she gave him. she turned around quickly tears almost fling out of her cheeks and eyes and she stars to walk back to the entrance of the mansion , she sits on the marble steps on the entrance and looks up towards the ceiling of the gaint plantation which was displaying fake night, tears started trailing down more and more till she's bawling her eyes out while clasping her knees, thinking about what the consequences of her actions were then she suddenly hears a voice.

"hey, what're you doing out here late at this time"

she turns around wiping her tears quickly for the tears were blocking her vison trying to look at the person that just spoke, it was hiro

"o-oh hiro it's you, it's nothing i just wanted to get some air before going to sleep" she says displaying a fake smile to convince him

"i know that you were crying, i was getting up to get myself water when i saw your going outside with tears strolling down your face, i believe you went to his room?" he asked

she simply nodded looking down tears again start forming in the corner of her eyes, hiro saw this and spoke

"i too was angry at what you did, still am you broke his heart, and you didn't even tell him why, i too heard his voice while i was standing outside his room almost opening the door to wake him up, he kept on saying the same thing, 'why kokoro why, why did you break your promise' "

she burst our crying "i... i didn't... i didn't know it would hurt him this much, i didn't know he loved me this much, i was just trying to help mitsuru, i made that promise to futoshi to make him happy, i didn't know this would happen, i don't know what to do, what should i do hiro? i can't see him like that, he's hurt too much because of me, i... i... I'm sorry" with that she cried even more intensely

hiro looked at her feeling sad about what has happened to both of his friends "all you can do now is wait and see what happens tomorrow hopefully he'll be better tomorrow, you should talk to him tomorrow" with that hiro left and after some timd and a few more cries kokoro left too, perhaps hoping that tomorrow would be better than today.

'i don't know how I'll be able to face them now' he thought before turning the handle to open the door.

he opened the door and walked out just as he was about to leave he looked down on the floor, since this part of the mansion were hardly kept clean there was a lot of dust on the floor carpet, he saw two distinct sets of faint footprints he understood in an instant whose footprints they were

he spoke with his eyes wide open "they were here?" "misturi and kokoro-chan were here?" then the most unfortunate thought occurred in his mind "were they listening to me crying, even after i told them to leave me alone they were here probably listening my misery and thinking about what an emotional fool i am"(i know futoshi isn't a person who thinks like that but, he's broken right now so he is not abke to think straight) suddenly he felt an unsurmountable anger building up in his heart "they were making fun out of my misery!!" he spoke in anger

'ENOUGH!!' he said in his mind and walked towards the hall where everyone was, he wasn't the same futoshi anymore 'no more am i going to be the entertainment of their amusement' he says in his mind as he walk with a face dead pan void of emotions and a glint in his eyes almost as if this wasn't the same person that went to sleep yesterday

BECAUSE HE WASN'T, futoshi changed that morning, this was someone else.
