"So…you can talk~"

Tsukishima immediately looks away as Roppi looked between the two. He must not of been lying since…well it seemed to be a really big deal. The nurse not only was surprised but seemed to be filled with joy.

The nurse smiles softly."I guess putting the two of you together wasn't a bad idea. It seems that you are good for each other, looks like you may get to go home after all~"She patted his back before leaving to room as Roppi looked back over to him.

"What was it…That you were saying before?"He questioned, tilting his head to the side only getting silence in response. He sighed."I guess that's all I'll be getting from you then huh? All well."

-Time skip-

After the next few days the two had seem to warm up to each other becoming something along the lines of friends. Though Roppi had said he would be taking on this challenge alone it seems that he still had the help of a certain blonde.

As the day went on Roppi had started to notice that Tsukishima seemed to be acting…..off. He hadn't talked to him since the day before yesterday and was isolating himself from even Roppi again but why?

Why was he being so distant?... Why did he care?.No he promised to do this himself and he had already broke by even talking to him. Even if it was only at night only speaking of there shared problems it still bugged him to think that he was depending on someone other than him self.

-Time skip-

Once back in their rooms for the night Roppi had almost fallen asleep before he felt a nudge. Grumbling he looked over only to come face to face with his roommate."Tsukishima?... What is it?"

The blonde pressed a finger to his lips to shush him as hall control passed by before moving away."I…."He looks down as he blushed though it was unseen due to the room being so dark."I want to know about you…"He said quietly whispering.

The raven had only tilted his head confused."Know about me? Why?"He sat up in his bed as Tsukishima had taken a seat on the edge of the bed. "J-just… w-why are y-you here?..."

Roppi sighs. What harm could come from telling him some. I mean… He wasn't confiding everything in him it was only what most knew. What he was here for.

"Well, I guess for an attempted suicide." He said quietly as he moved his sprained wrist slightly trying to almost hide it. Not that everyone had already seen it.

Tsukishma scooted a bit closer taking his other hand and slipping the sleeve of his shirt up enough to show his scars running his finger tips across them."Y-you know the bible says cutting is a-associated with someone who is p-possessed by demons. W-who is your D-demon? "

Roppi watched as the other ran his fingertips across the old scares."My. Demon? I'm afraid I don't understand.

The blonde sighs as he lifts the others wrist to his lips placing a small kiss upon his scars." W-.. Why?"He blushes shyly.

Roppi froze unsure if he should kick him or… No. There was no way he… He sort of… Liked the attention? Well not liked. It was more the fact he was not disgusted with him. He did not loath those ugly scar's upon his skin but he looked… concerned. A look he had never seen.

He pulls away. No he couldn't do it. He had never told anyone his dirty little secret. The blonde already knew too much. He knew why he was here but he could never tell him what had caused him to go so far. What had finally pushed him past the edge?

Pushing him away he laid down rolling over not giving him an answer but confusing him more.

The boy sighs as he heads back to bed soon drifting to sleep as Roppi stayed awake the hole night only to be stuck in his thoughts, thrown back into a state of depression. It was his fault he was here, he wasn't good enough, His scar's made him ugly and most of all what a disappointment he was.

-Time skip-

Once morning Roppi refused to get out of bed. Not for food, water or even for his parents who had finally decided to pay him a visit out of pity. They didn't care. No one did…

Again a nurse came in to see if she could get him up failing and soon giving up but there was still one person who would not.

Tskishima sat on the end of his bed as Roppi stayed quiet, turned away from him."I-I am s-sorry I u-upset you last night…." He looked down.

Roppi scoffs as he sits up."It's not you… It's me…"He looked down as the blonde tilted his head."Y-you…?"

He only nodded confusing the other even more."w-what do you mean?"

Roppi sighs. He may as well tell him. I mean what harm could it do… No he couldn't. Not yet that was…"My stomach just hurts."He lied setting his good hand on it.

The blonde blinked as he nodded slowly."O-okay Hachimenroppi…"

"I don't like that name. Just call me Roppi."

The blonde smiles nodding as Delic happened to be walking by and being the person he was felt a need to ruin the moment.

"Rooooopi~ My love,I have missed seeing my princess for you have been sleeping all day~A kiss just one kiss to wake you~" He got on one knee in front of the others door… So go to sleep again?"

Roppis eye twitched."Hell no. Go in hell. "He glared scooting away as Tsukishima looked down going back to his bed causing Delic to smirk.

"Oooo but darliin—"He was interrupted by a smack on the head by another raven with golden eyes."Stop flirting!"He had smacked him upside the head as Delic rubbed the spot."Hibiya babe I still love you~"

Hibiya scoffs turning away with his arms folded across his chest as Delic sits up wrapping his arm around his waist kissing his neck."I'm really sorry~"He was soon elbowed in the stomach. Delic hold his stomach as Hibya looks to Roppi.

"Use what little brain you where given and stay away from him pea brain."He huffed causing Roppi to scoff.

"Pea brain, who are you calling pea brain?"He growls slightly in a challenging voice.

"Not you."he said sarcastically causing Roppis eye to twitch as he stood."Fuck off brat."

Hibiya only shrugs."No thanks~"He hummed as Roppi slams the door in his face as Delic had held his arms up."That one was your fault."He headed off back to his room as one of the nurses walked to Hibiya eventually dragging him back to his room.

Roppi sighs as he flops back down on his bed annoyed as he mumbled.

Tskishima sigh rolling over. He gave up for the night since it seemed Roppi really wasn't in the mood to talk… Not that he really ever was.

Soon Tsukishima had fallen asleep drifting off into dream land as Roppi was once again stuck awake over thinking once again.

-time skip-

Once morning came everyone had once again lined up and where lead to the cafeteria. Once in they were all served s everyone starter to eat soon hearing a thump as Roppi had fallen asleep face down in his oatmeal as he groans sitting up as a few kids giggled as he wiped his face clean. It had been so long since he last slept it was hard not to fall asleep but in his food? Well that was just sad.

He was sent back to his room to sleep as he woke up hours latter only to be greeted with Tsukishima watching him."…What are you looking at?..."

He blushes looking away."Y-you where t-talking in your sleep…"

He blinked tilting his head."Ah? I was?"He looks at him as he nods.

"You where saying something about r-roses matching in c-c-color…"He mumbles looking down as he thought to himself. Roes…. Roses? He must have been talking about his poem. "Ah,That was just something I wrote."

He smiled a bit."c-can I here it?"

Roppi thinks for a moment before shrugging.'I guess… He takes a deep breath looking away as he spoke.

"Once again my depression is back holding me down so I can't get free.

Such sweet bliss has once again flowed right through my fingers, never again will I see that glee,

That happiness that I thrive for, seeming to be the only thing missing in my life.

But what is life without that joy, I'd say misery is much worse than what is caused by the knife.

The pain inside can only be dulled by that sweet sensation of release caused by that shinning metal.

Skin, my flesh seeming to be so fragile under that cold silver, much so as a single petal.

That of a rose matching in that crimson color while small water droplets rest upon the surface of the petals.

Just as that red liquid within now pools a top my skin as I feel that rush reminding me of a boiling kettle.

Only a few bubbles appear at first much like how my depression started.
But soon pooling over in which only turning off the fire will cease it, or in this case my life needing to be parted.

Me and the world never got along, it being so cruel to such fragile beings, overwhelming them in a deep darkness.

My heart has been torn, ripped to no repair, where no one can stitch these open wounds that had been ripped open by heartless despair.

It's not me holding the blade but those around me, holding it to my neck pressing harder and harder now, gliding it across my pale-ish skin.

In the end I guess I knew this wasn't a fair fight, in this battle I knew only one could win.

That being my depression inside, though because of that loss it felt as if I were already dead.

Not eating, sleeping just laying in bed.

Point is that I have given up on trying to find something I will never have.

So tell my depression he won and to have a good laugh."

He looks up once he finished."Its not that good but…. It was all I could think of…"

Tsukishima frowned."I-It is beautiful….. B-but w-why did you write it?"Tilts his head.

"I guess…It was my way of saying good bye~"

Tsukishima gave him almost hurt look before he gave a nod."I-I see…I-I am t-tired…"He bowed his head before turning away to sleep once again to leave Roppi with the one he had been trying to get away from.

Why did he have to go to bed? Tsukishima was the only distraction he had from all this…Now all he could do is think about it.

Why he was here, why his parents hated him, why he had no friends and most of all why he refused to let anyone else in now. Well the big reason had to be how that one friend that one person he thought he could go to when no one else care just….smiled. He had confided in that one person and he just…smiled. Like he had wanted it to happen.

Roppi blinked confused once he felt a drop hit his hand as he wiped his face. Was he… crying?Well he couldn't help it it was just—just-…Why? Why did no one care…

Once hareing his roommate stir he hurried getting up and hiding in the bath room sliding down the door. He couldn't do this…..He needed to part he couldn't stand to suffer like this. He wouldn't be able to handle trying to trust someone only to be tossed aside again.

Getting on his knees he felt under the counter till he found the back. He knew this could happen. So he thought ahead. In the struggle of getting him on the stretcher he had grabbed a scalpel hiding it in his boxers then, in the bathroom till they finished checking him… And now he was thankful. He needed a release more than ever.

He couldn't push himself to finish himself off for even he didn't understand why. Though to say the least he got it out. Down his ribs to his hips up his sides under his lips.

Crap….he didn't think this threw enough….He clothes where soaked in blood dripping to the floor as he had nothing to change into….no. no no no!He messed up there going to take it away. No. He wouldn't let that happen.

He stopped the bleeding as he takes a deep breath before wiping a hand off shaking his roommate. "Tsuki…. Tsuki…." He whispers as the blonde finally woke unable to see the bloody Roppi in front of him due to the darkness and his glasses being off.

"I need something to wear…please…"He sat up tilting his head. "w-whats wrong with yours?..."

He shook his head. "I split my lip and got some blood on my shirt is all." He whispered as Tsukishima gave him a look before standing dragging him to the bathroom.

"No Tsuki wait."He whispered as he panicked once he turned on the light his eyes widening."W-where…"

Roppi sighed in defeat only opening his mouth pulling his bottom lip down."That's al—"

He was cut off as he was pressed against the wall his shirt getting pulled up. He winced not at his scares but at how tight his grip was….It was bruising his skin as he hissed."Y-You lied…"

He looked away. Why could he nor look at him… let alone him self."Please just help me…."His grip was tightened as he whimpered this time."Tsuki….It hurts m-my wrist i-isnt healed yet…"

Once the other hared he let go."Give it t-to me –p-p-please roppi…."He only nodded handing it to him. He had no choice. His eyes widened in disbelief as it was broken in half."H-how-?"This time he stuttered not because he was upset but because he was in shock.

It the end Tsukishima had cleaned him up cleaned the room and given him a new shirt. Now easily falling asleep the both just wanting the night to be over.

-Time skip-

Once breakfast was over they had hygeen again as roppi had been whispering a song to himself thinking no one else could hear though little did he know the other had been listening.
I am a lion and I want to be free
Do you see a lion when you look inside of me?
Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep.
Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be
How can I sleep at night there's a roar inside my head?
I found a lion hidden right beneath my bed
I will not hide myself from the tear that you have shed Cause I am a lion and you are dead~

He started to hum the rest as he got out the other moving away acting as if he heard nothing as he hums a different toon Roppi giving him and odd look but shrugging it off as Roppi looked at him.
"Can I ask you something?"He tilted his head as the other nodded."Are you gay?..."
