Chapter Two

It's been three weeks since our first kiss and as the weeks have passed I have come to realizes how much I really am in love with Ritsu. The first week and half of school had been great. Ritsu was by my side as much as he could be at school and as soon as school was over we would meet in the library. However, for the last of that week and the next, Ritsu started to spend less time with me and in all honesty; I'm freaking the fuck out! I still haven't been able to tell Ritsu how I feel because I'm too much of a chicken shit. Its Sunday now and we go back to school tomorrow. Ritsu and I are at the park we used to play at when we were younger. It brings back so many memoires and as I stare at the playground, I start to wonder if I loved Ritsu even then.

"Masa-chan, do you want some ice cream?" Ritsu asked with excitement and hope in his voice. Who am I turning down my true love?

"Sure! I would like chocolate with sprinkles." I say with a smile and chuckle. He gets up and walks over to the stand as I stare out at the playground again. As I watch all the other kids play, I am taken back to a time when Ritsu was almost beat up until his 'knight and shining armor' showed up to save the day.

It was the beginning of summer vacation. I really hated coming to school because since Ritsu was a year younger than me, I couldn't see him. My mom and his mom planned to meet at the park when I got out of school so Ritsu and I could play. I want this day to be over already and it just started ten minutes ago. I just want to see Ritsu! Luckily since today was the last day, we got out a couple hours early. In class, we talk about what we liked about the year so far and what we have learned. I'm bored out of my mind and just want to leave.

"Masamune, what did you like about the year so far and what did you learn?" The teacher looks at me with a smile on her face. I didn't like anything about this year and I really hate school. I guess I did learn something in 'math' as they like to call it.

"I didn't like anything and I learned about math." I say in a deep, scary voice I didn't even know I had. The teacher and the students looked at me like I was a demon.

"You really didn't like ANYTHING about the school year?"

"No I didn't!"

"Can I ask why, Masamune?"

"My best friend is not here! I don't like anybody but him!" I yelled at the teacher which in return she gave me a look of anger but then her anger fated and turned to sadness. Luckily, she didn't call on me again.

It was the end of the day and I've haven't been happier to done with school in a long time because I have 4 weeks to spend with Ritsu before I am forced back into the stupid school. I see my mom and run up to her and she asked me how my day was while holding my hand. I tell her I hated it and I just want Ritsu. She laughs and says that we can't always be together. I know what she is saying is true but I don't want to think like that.

"If Ritsu and I get married like you and dad then we can be together as much as possible. We will even have a baby of our own!" I say with happiness thinking about marrying Ritsu and having a baby. I don't really know how to make a baby but I'm such I will learn one day.

"Masamune, do you really want to marry Ritsu?" My mom questions me like it's the worst idea in the world. I look at her like she is a dummy. Why wouldn't I want to marry him? He is my best friend and I love him. I tell her such and she looks at me with worry. As we get closer to the park, she stops and gets on her knees and looks me in the eye.

"Masamune, I want you to know that the world is a dark and cold place. This world is not very kind and it will judge you know matter what you do in life. I want you to know that if there comes a day when you have to face this world head on then you do it. I will not judge you no matter what you choose in life. Do you understand, pet?"

"Yes mommy." I didn't really understand what she meant but maybe I will one day. We were at the park and we saw Ritsu's mom taking to another mom. My mom tells me to go find my Ritsu and let's go of my hand. I smile at her and run off to find him. I look all around but I can't find him. Fear is starting to take over my body until I hear a scream. It takes me a minute to realize that it was Ritsu's scream and soon I am running to the sound. I find Ritsu and he is stuck against a tree with three older kids yelling at him and calling him names.

"You are just a pussy. Aw, look at the little baby, he is going to cry." They started laughing and that's when I walked up to them and pushed them away from Ritsu.

"Leave him alone!" I scream at them and gave my best "run away and never come back" face.

"What do we have here guys? Looks like the little pussy has a knight and shining amour. Listen here you fucking dick, I have no business with you so why don't you just fuck off?" The next thing I knew he pushed me out of the way and the other two older kids held down Ritsu down. I blocked the first kid's punch and then kicked him in the balls. He was lying on the ground in pain. I looked at the other two kids and told them to let him go or I'll do worse. They let Ritsu go and grabbed the other kid and run away. Ritsu was crying very hard and took him in my arms I held onto him in fear that those kids would come back.

"Masa-chan, t-t-thank you s-s-s-so much. I didn't know what to do." Ritsu states and I just hold him closer. Once he calmed down, we walked back to the park and started to play.

When we were leaving with our moms, Ritsu mom asked if I wanted to spend the night and I told her yes in a heartbeat. Later on that night, Ritsu and I were hiding under our blanket fort and reading one of the books I got from school. Ritsu was very smart for his age and didn't have any trouble reading.

"Ritsu, I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll always protect you."

"Masa-chan, Thank you!" Ritsu hugged me close until we fell asleep.

"Masa-chan… Masa-chan…. MASA-CHAN!" I was jerked out of my memoires and look over to Ritsu who was holding our ice cream. I laughed and apologized for zoning out again. I took the ice cream and started to lick it.

"Are you sure you are ok? You have been spacing off a lot and it's really worrying me. Did something happen between your parents again?" Ritsu looks at me with worry and concern. I shake my head.

"Believe it or not but they aren't home that much anymore. My mom sees your mom more than she does my dad." I laugh to hide my worry about my parents. We sat in silence for I don't how long as I secretly stare at Ritsu while he licks his ice cream. He is so freaking cute! I wish his tongue was on me.

"Masa-chan, I want to apologize for not spending most time with you. I have some news about why I haven't been spending a lot of time with you though." Ritsu looks guilty and also a little scared. Why would he be scared to tell me something? Oh no, what if it's something really bad like he is moving or dyeing?

"Masa-chan, I met someone, her name is Kohinata An. She is so beautiful and sweet and just wow! Hahaha, I sound really stupid but we have been hanging out a lot in a week and a half and I finally asked her out and she said yes! Can you believe that?" Ritsu was in dream and shocked mode right now. As for me, I think my world just fell completely apart. I could handle a lot of things but this I cannot handle one bit!

"WHAT!?" Masamune stands up from the bench and looks at Ritsu like he completely just stabbed him in the heart.

Here is chapter two! I hope you guys liked it! I will update either later tonight if I can't sleep or tomorrow. As for now I will leave you all! I hope everyone has had or will have a good day/night. Bye bye!
