This fic is dedicated to Lady Aoi, who not only was the 1300 person on my page,
but also has poked and proded me to make sure I write more to this! Thanks girl!
Warnings to the reader: In this fic, Otaru and Hanagata do get together by the end of the story. I don't know if there is lemon between them, but there is an attempted rape scene containing Hanagata and his father. This is a dark ficcie! This fic is about child abuse and molestion, etc.!! Consider yourselves warned.
Truth Behind a Smile
Prologue: Signing His Fate
"Otaru-kun, please?!"
Otaru opened his mouth automatically to reject the idea, then paused. Strange...
Hanagata wasn't groping him, declaring love, or trying to convince him that it
was for the good of their relationshp. Blinking, the youth realized that
Hanagata had simply started begging. That alone was cause for him to pause and
rethink his automatic rejection. Something was up.
"Why is this such a big deal? I mean, your father asked for you to visit, not
me," he grumbled.
From his kneeling position on the floor, Hanagata looked up. "I'd just feel
better if I had a friend with me! Please, Otaru-kun? You can even bring those
machines with you! Think of it as a paid vacation," he exclaimed.
Okay, something was definately wrong. Otaru's brow furrowed as he stared at the
blond youth in front of him. Hanagata NEVER asked for Lime, Cherry, or
Bloodberry to come, when he managed to convince Otaru to go somewhere with him.
It was a good thing that the girls had gone out for the day, for whatever
reason. Likely, Bloodberry would of punched Hanagata's lights out for the
'machines' comment.
If he didn't know better, Otaru suddenly realized, would say that Hanagata
actually looked afraid.
Studying the other, he realized it was true. Hanagata's already pale skin had
gone even more white and there was a small tremor in his body. In fact, the
entire time he had been here after receiving his father's summons fifteen
minutes before, Hanagata had looked like he'd just been given the biggest scare
of his life. Otaru sighed to himself and shook his head. Even if Hanagata was
creepy with his affections, and damned annoying, Otaru couldn't help but want to
help him out. He had a protective instinct that stretched even to Hanagata. How
could he ignore someone when they were obviously truely needing his help?
Although, he couldn't fathom the reason why Hanagata would want him to come with
so desperately.
"Alright, fine," he said with a sigh.
Hanagata's entire face lit up, his eyes sparkling. "You mean it?" he asked.
Otaru waved a hand. "Yah, I'll come with you. The girls will be coming too, of
course. What time do you want us to be ready?" he questioned.
Strangely not looking put out by the information that the girls would be coming
along, Hanagata bounded to his feet. "I'm supposed to be there in time for
supper tonight," he replied.
Otaru nodded and got to his feet as well. "Okay, we'll be ready. I'll pack up
the clothes and things that we'll need."
Hanagata squeeled and hugged him tightly before bouncing toward the hole in the
wall. "Thank you so much, Otaru-kun!" he exclaimed, then vanished from the room
in his ususal flurry of energy.
