Ginga P.O.V
" Stop, please! " I beg, trapped against the wall. It was no use. Kyoya was intent on hurting me. Yet again.
Despite my plea, he ignored it and continued his assault by grabbing me and throwing me on the bed.
I flinched and squirmed, but it was in vain. In an instant, he topped me.
" Stop! Kyoyaaa~! "
... Morning ...
Kyoya P.O.V
I woke up to find my arm around Ginga. He twitched from time to time as I moved my fingers across his chest. He wanted to move. I could tell. But I didn't let him go just yet.
I enjoyed this position, it gave me a chance to inhale Gingas' scent, which smelled of pumpkin spice; both cinnamony and sweet.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
" Come on~! You two have been sleeping forever! WAKE UP, GINGA! " Screamed an impatient Madoka.
Shit! This was Ginga's bed. And I was in it..
I scrambled out of the bed, and ran across the room where my bed awaited me. I plopped in it, pretending to be sleep.
Normal P.O.V
A groggy Ginga unlocked the door as Madoka burst in.
" Do you have any idea how late it is?! " She yelled, " It's 1:08! You should've been up three hours ago! "
" S-sorry about that. " He said, rubbing his tired eyes.
" AND as for YOU! " She said, glaring and pointing at Kyoya before storming at him.
" WAKE UP. " She shrieked.
Kyoya 'woke', yawning a fake yawn. " Mm .. is yellin' the only thing you know how to do, Madoka ..? " he said, roleplaying a weak voice.
Madoka ignored him, "Go brush your teeth, you two. " and with that, she left the room.
... Bathroom ...
Ginga was in the bathroom first, in the middle of his cleaning session Kyoya came in.
" Mind if I join ya? " The lion teen asked. Regardless of his answer, Ginga knew he would join in anyway.
Regret fell upon Ginga, " Sure, don't be shy. " he said in an innocent voice, praying not to be hurt.
" Heh, I ain't bein' shy. It's my house, after all. " the lion teen replied, getting a toothbrush and ran toothpaste on it.
Ginga took notice of his words, and was hurt. Despite the risk for injury, he had to say something.
" It's our house." The red-haired boy said, gambling his harmless paradise.
Kyoya stop brushing, spat out the excess toothpaste, and gurgled water before spitting it out.
" Say that again, brat.. " Kyoya said, fearless in his voice and fierce in his eyes.
Ginga wiped his mouth with a towel, " W-we .. go out r-right ..? " he managed to say, shakily.
Ginga scored a point on the lion teen .. twice. Kyoya grabbed the red-haired boy by the collar, and raised him off his feet.
" You bein' a smartass, HUH?! " He said, tightening his grip.
Tears rolled down Ginga's cheeks, " S-sorry .. I d-didn't mean it like th- "
" Don't gimme that bullshit! " The lion teen interrupted, and raised a fist to the red-head.
Ginga only closed his eyes, bracing for the impact.
" Tch, i'll let you go this time. I dare you to get smart again. " Kyoya said, dropping Ginga.
The lion teen walked out of the bathroom, headed to the kitchen. While Ginga just sat there, in disbelief that he went that far.
" This .. isn't what I want. " He whimpered, crying silently.
..Later..
After Ginga wiped away his tears, he came into the kitchen where Madoka and Kyoya ate rice and Teriyaki chicken. He had his head down.
"Oh, hey Ginga. Would you like a bowl? " Madoka said, pointing to her food.
Ginga rose his head. He didn't want Madoka to know what happened, so he tried to hide his fear and sorrow.
" Yeah, sure! ", The red-haired boy said, " Smells really nice!"
Madoka got up and began fixing the food as Ginga sat down. Kyoya stopped eating.
" What took you so long? " The lion teen said, looking up at him.
Ginga came up with a quick lie, " I-I had to floss. "
Kyoya was no fool. He knew why Ginga took to long; his red eyes .. the fear in his voice .. and puffy cheeks was all the evidence it took to know that Ginga had been crying in the bathroom.
Despite the revealed lie, he went along with it. " Oh, I see. " he said.
At this time, Madoka had finished fixing the food, and was now headed for Ginga.
"Here ya go! " She said, putting the plate in front of him.
Ginga's eyes widened at the sight of food, " Ooh! Time to eat up! " he said, grabbing chopsticks and digging in. Madoka couldn't help but laugh at the greediness of the boy.
...
After everyone had finished eating, Ginga decided to wash dishes. Madoka went up to her room, and Kyoya stayed in the kitchen.
" So, Ginga .. " The lion teen began, " Tell me the truth. What took you so long to come down here? "
While he already knew the truth, he wanted to know it from Ginga.
The red-haired boy began to tear up and cringe from the memories, " Kyoya .. you .. this isn't .. "
Before he could finish, Kyoya walked up to him and whispered in his ear, " I want to know, I need to know .. why were you crying? "
Ginga gasped, " How did you - ..? "
Yet again, he was interrupted by Kyoya, " Forget about how I knew. Just tell me why. "
The red-head gathered courage, he'd never seen Kyoya being so .. 'nice' before.
" You .. " he said, " .. you were the one hurting me. "
His eyes widened. Hurt filled Kyoya. He was mesmerized by Ginga's words, and felt cruel for this way of acting.
" Ginga .. I ..? " Words barely escaped Kyoya's mouth, still in shock of the event.
The room went silent for a while.
Ginga's courage still had ongoing light, he continued to talk, " And, it has to stop. " he began, " If you won't stop hurting me .. then i'm gonna have to br-"
The lion teen was aware of what he was about to say, and wasn't about to let him continue.
"Enough, Ginga. " Kyoya said, in a warm, soft voice.
His courage dissipated. For the first time in a while, Ginga felt safe.
" Promise me. " The red-haired boy said, tears forming in his eyes. " Promise me, you won't hurt me anymore. "
At this point, Ginga was crying. And Kyoya had tears weld up in his eyes, too.
" I promise I won't. " The lion teen said, embracing the red-head in a warm hug.
