Hey guys I'm back with another chapter! I bet you all hate me now because I left chapter 1 off at a bit of a cliffhanger XD but I promise this will make up for it! Also forgive me if I have a ton of typos because I only proofread this part twice… Anyways enjoy!
...
Misaki: Aren't you forgetting something?
Me: Wait, what?
Misaki: The disclaimer, baka! Usagi-san and I don't belong to you…
Usagi-san: That may be true Misaki, but you will always be mine. *throws Misaki over his shoulder and starts walking upstairs*
Misaki: H-hey! Put me down! I already told you that I'm not gay! Seriously-I'm not gay! USAGI-SAN!
Me: *Cough cough* I'll just say the disclaimer and leave you two alone… :P
I do not own Junjou Romantica or any of its characters.
Mine and Mine Only-Chapter 2
-Friday Night, in Misaki's POV-
DING DONG
'Who could that be, at this hour?' I wondered. I advanced to the door and opened it wide to see my older brother, clothes drenched and hair matted to his face from the pouring rain. His glasses were blurry, too.
"Oh hey Nii-chan, what are you doing here so late at night? Well never mind that let me take your coat off! You're soaking wet Nii-chan why did you come here during a-" I stopped in mid-sentence as I took note of his facial expression. Nii-chan's eyes were cold; his usual smile was replaced with a tight frown. He had this grim look on his face, almost like one you would get from a funeral. The way his face looked right now, it reminded me of someone. Who was it? I couldn't quite place my finger on it…
Ah, that was it. His expression reminded me of Haruhiko.
"Nii-cha-"
"Is Akihiko home?"
"…Gome?"
"Is Akihiko at home, Misaki?"
I swallowed. 'Why did he call Usagi-san 'Akihiko?' "Yes, but he's sleeping and knowing him, he's not getting up anytime soon," I responded with a halfhearted laugh.
Nii-chan squinted his eyes a bit. "Good, because I have something to discuss with you," He stepped inside the room and removed his coat. As if to make sure that I hadn't lied, he took a quick glance around the room. Then slowly, he turned his head to look back at me.
I swallowed again. Seriously, what was wrong? I felt like he was staring directly into my soul, able to see every thought I'd ever thought, able to see my deepest, darkest secrets and see right through all the lies I'd ever spoken. His eyes were a black hole, absorbing everything around them but at the same time not revealing their secrets.
I took a small step back. "Nii-chan? Is something wrong? You can tell me if you want…" I hoped it, whatever it was, wasn't something I had caused because I had already been such a burden on Nii-chan ever since our parents had died.
He glared at me with his cold, emotionless eyes. "You should know exactly what I'm talking about, Misaki. You know, like that tiny little fact that you and Akihiko are in that tiny little relationship?"
I froze. "…Hahaha Nii-chan stop joking, I-I don't get what you're talki-"
"Don't lie to me! I know everything that's been going on between you and your 'Usagi-san'," He spat out the name, "from the BL novels to what you do in the middle of the night!* Why Misaki, why? I can't believe you could do this, especially with my best friend! By the way if you hadn't noticed yet, he's a MAN!"
It was obvious that Nii-chan was losing his temper, and he was losing it fast. I stared at the floor in shame. How could he have possibly found out about this? This was the absolute worst! I couldn't believe a disaster like this could happen! And not only that, but Usagi-san wasn't even there to help me defend myself… I had to face this alone.
"…"
"…"
"Alright," I feebly said, breaking the silence, "I admit it. Usagi-san and I are…lovers. I never expected it to turn out this way-really I didn't, but it just kind of happened-"
"Just kind of happened? Misaki, if you stay by that man's side, all the years I spent raising you were just a waste! Do you really think Mom and Dad would have wanted this? This isn't right, you've fallen off of God's path! Two men are not meant to have feelings for each other, not in that way! And speaking of feelings, Akihiko doesn't love you-he's just pretending! Why don't you realize that all this time you've been a replacement, a replacement for me! You think I was thickheaded enough as to not realize that he had feelings for me? Well let me tell you right now, I've always known! And if you keep this up, damn it Misaki, he's going to break your heart!"
I gasped, my eyes widening in utter shock. Nii-chan knew about Usagi-san's neglected feelings for him? Had he just pretended not to realize, just brushed it off like it was nothing? Nii-chan would never do that- never ever! It simply just was because that wasn't the type of person he was... Besides, that was totally heartless! And what was this whole thing about "replacement" again? I needed to tell Nii-chan that he was mistaken! Of course Usagi-san loved me; he'd told me countless times why he cherished me so much!
"Nii-chan you've got it all wrong-Usagi-san loves me! I know for a fact that he does!" I spurted out.
He wasn't fazed one bit. "How can you be so sure Misaki? Words mean absolutely nothing! It could all be a lie!"
"B-but I- he- we are-" I stuttered, reaching out towards him, trying to convey my explanation.
My elder brother looked me directly in the eyes and screamed, "Prove to me that he's not lying Misaki, PROVE IT!"
I dropped my hand to my side, flinching at the sheer intensity of his voice. How could I really prove to not just Takahiro, but to anyone that Usagi-san really loved me, that we were truly in love? All those times he'd claimed to treasure me, all those things he'd bought and totally spoiled me with, all the time we'd spent together- could that really all just be fake, not true, pure-hearted love? Had Usagi-san just put up with all that to have my body at his disposal? Was it all just...one big lie?
"N-no! We are in love! It's all real! I-I love Usagi-san!" I cried out, curling my hands into tight fists. I could feel tears welling up in the corners of my eyes, as one lone question stirred up in the back of my mind. 'But does he love me back?'
Suddenly Takahiro grabbed my shoulders and pulled me up inches from his face. " That's it-I can't take it anymore… You're going to have to make a decision! I want you to leave this house, never come back here, and never ever speak to that man again. If you don't Misaki, I swear to God I will never forgive you!" And with that, he released me and stormed out the door.
The abrupt silence was overwhelming me and I sank to my knees, shivering. What was I going to do? How could I possibly choose between my Nii-chan and Usagi-san? Nobody should have to choose between family and lovers! Both were equal, not one was of greater importance than the other. Having to choose between the two would absolutely break me, no matter which it was. This was terrible-absolutely, dreadfully, utterly terrible!
"Not…fair…" I gasped, "Not fair, why..? N-Nii-chan why…would you do this to me..!"
And I let the tears fall.
-Usagi-san's POV-
"What the hell…" I grumbled, stretching my arms. Ever since I had woken up, I could hear loud voices arguing back and forth, back and forth, from downstairs. God, was it annoying. What kind of conflict could have possibly caused such clamorous voices? I hoped it wasn't Aikawa screaming her lungs out at Misaki for not keep track of me- I really didn't want to deal with that at 11:37 at night. But, wait. What if it wasn't Aikawa, what if it was someone even worse? I didn't think Misaki would be able to handle something like that.
'Is he in trouble?' I worriedly thought. After lying there for a few moments longer, I could endure my unanswered questions no more. Setting Suzuki-san carefully on the bed, I kicked the sheets off of me and stood up. I was careful not to trip over any of the countless toys scattered across the ground as I slowly made my way to the door.
And suddenly the house was quiet again, causing me to become even more suspicious. Normal arguments can't just end abruptly like that, now can they? In a matter of mere seconds I had flung open the door and made my way halfway down the stairs. As I completed my way down the second half, I saw a sight that nearly broke my heart in two. It was Misaki, on his hands and knees, with tears streaming down his face.
"Misaki? What's wrong?" I cried out in surprise.
The nineteen-year old looked up at me with those big green eyes, blinking in confusion. "U-Usagi-san…?" And then he started sobbing even harder than before.
Misaki shook his head as if to say 'no, everything is fine', and stood up violently shaking. He wiped the back of his hand over his eyes but the tears kept flowing. I took a slow step towards him, showing him that I would be there for comfort, not lust. The moment I made a movement though, he gasped inwardly and took off, sprinting up the stairs. I frowned as I heard the lock for his room click shut.
I strided back upstairs, made my way over to his room and knocked gently on the door. "What is it, Misaki? I know something's wrong. Don't hide it from me, otherwise it could become a burden-" I cut myself off, realizing what I had just said.
"Dammit!" my conscience screamed at me, "You've just made the situation even worse-Bakahiko!"
I felt a bead of sweat forming on my forehead, and slightly panicked.
After regaining my composure, I pressed my ear to the door and waited for a response. Moments later a near-inaudible voice whispered back, "Please go away…"
I pulled back from the door and slowly walked back across the hallway. There would be no use wasting my time trying to persuade him to tell me what was going on, especially when he wouldn't even unlock the door. Besides, I knew I would find out one way or another. Even though I'd realized that, I still couldn't help but wonder. I shook my head as I glanced back at my toy-paradise room. There was no way that I would be able to sleep with the current situation. Frowning again, I mentally slapped myself for not coming down sooner.
'Really, though,' I pondered, 'What the hell happened?'
*A/N: to be honest I'm not 100% sure if Haruhiko even knows that Usagi-san writes BL novels… so let's just pretend that he does, even if that's not the truth :P
Ok so first off I know that Takahiro was really OOC in this chapter (I apologize), but there's a reason for that, which is explained in the scene where Haruhiko tells the big secret to Takahiro (bad bad Usagi-ani!). Yeah, yeah I know what you're thinking, "But that scene doesn't exist!" WELL see here's what happened. I spent like 3 hours typing that scene up, but then after it was done I decided that it would be better if I cut the scene out (Don't ask why, it's kind of complicated). So I did, but saved it in a different file on my computer. I will probably put that part up after the story is finished, as a deleted scene. So sorry, but you'll have to wait until then to see that. Also I'm sorry for boring you to death with this sad attempt of an excuse! =S
Other than that, please rate and tell me what you liked and absolutely hated! It motivates me to finish chapters faster when I read your reviews so… yeah=) Sayonara!
