Weeks passed and the tension between the two was even more tangible than ever before. Hyde skipped more classes than necessary and drank more to fill the void Gackt's hatred had formed.
Needles are piercing through my skin. I'll tell you the feeling, what it's like. if life is just all about deception. It's all a pain, a part of the fairy tale. But desire to play with Gods own will. Should i trade the breath of my own life for freedom?
Gackt walked downstairs, something in him told him something was wrong. Terribly wrong. That something he felt, had to do with Hyde. Hearing loud music he continued to decend the staircase. Opening the door he stopped at what he saw. Hyde sat on the bed, legs crossed eyes closed. Much to Gackt's horror in his hand he held a needle. The needle was embedded in his skin and slowly he pressed the plunger down. Gackt watched as the contents slowly compressed into the diminishing space.
"Hyde!" Gackt cried. Hyde jumped and yelled because the needle went deeper into his arm than it should have.
"G-Gackt!" Hyde gasped pulling the needle out, allowing blood to flow freely.
"What are you doing?" Gackt screamed.
"Don't say anything!" Hyde cried.
(In the rain) I'm calling you dear. (Find a way) Can't you see me standing right here? (Feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear. (Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein
"Hyde why on earth are you doing this?" Gackt asked, enraged.
"I'm sorry...I just...Nevermind. It's not like you care anyway. Get out." Hyde said turning away from the taller teen.
"Where did you get this?" Gackt asked entering the room fully.
"My friend Tetsu from my old school. What's it matter to you?" THe small teen asked.
"I...I don't..." Gackt trailed off unsure of his next words.
'Why do I care?' He asked himself. Hyde stood and brushed past the raven, heading towards the stairs. Gackt reached out and caught the young man by his arm, turning him so they were face to face.
"You aren't going anywhere." Gackt said. He led Hyde to the bed and ran into the bathroom to grab some tissue a plaster and some medicine before going back to Hyde to fix his injection wound.
"Don't you ever let life pass you by" They say as if it takes me somewhere. Just let me swallow the faith by injection. Let blood be rushing to my head, my love i've played with this game before. To find a piece of my true self, I'm lost within!
"Why are you doing this?" Hyde asked. Gackt stayed silent.
"Hey, why are you helping me?" He repeated.
"I don't know alright." Gackt snapped, trying to clean the wound.
"Why did you even come down here?" Hyde asked looking anywhere but at the raven before him.
"I...I had a bad feeling. A really bad feeling that something was going to happen to you." Gackt mumbled.
Hyde blushed and then felt immensly bad.
(In the rain) I'm calling you dear. (Find a way) Can't you see me standing right here? (Feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear. (Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein.
"Hey Gackt..." He trailed off, waiting for the taller of them to acknowledge him.
"Yes?" Gackt sighed.
"I...I'm sorry." Hyde whispered.
Gackt looked up so he was eye level with the small raven.
"WHy would you do this?" He asked.
"I just...Nothing else was taking the pain away. So this was all I had left to try." Hyde explained softly. It was then that Gackt really listened to the words of the song that were playing.
I.V. in my vein to feel less its pain. Can you strip away the mystery of the world? I'll let it suffer for it's lie. 'Till the shape of the shadows fades. 'Till forever fades away. I'm calling you dear. Can't you see me standing right here? Life's bleeding from fear. I will give it straight from my vein...
"Hyde this song..." Gackt trailed off, unsure of what he even wanted to say.
"It's how I feel. How I've felt for the past two years." Hyde said simply, shrugging his shoulders.
Gackt swallowed, suddenly ashamed of how he had treated the young man infront of him.
"I'm going to go get your mom." Gackt said quietly.
"NO!" Hyde screamed, grabbing Gackts wrist tightly.
"She CAN'T know Gackt. Please I'm begging you. I'll do whatever you want, I'll leave you alone and I won't talk to you again just please, don't tell my mom. I'm enough of a disappointment as it is." Hyde begged.
"Fine. But here's what you have to do." Gackt said, a glint in his eyes. Hyde swallowed, nervous.
"You have to stop smoking, stop drinking, and stop skipping classes. But most importantly you MUST stop drugs. How many times have you done this?" Gackt asked.
"This...This is the first. Honestly." Hyde promised.
"Good, we caught it early then. You have to swear you'll never do this again. That's the only way I'll agree never to tell mom." Gackt said, not noticing that he had reffered to Hyde mother as his own.
"I promise." Hyde whispered.
"Give me the cigarettes you have with you, all of them in the room." Gackt said suddenly. Hyde dug around in his drawers and produced six packages.
"Jeez Hyde." Gackt commented. The glare Hyde sent him was enough to quiet him down.
"That's all of them, I promise." Hyde said quietly.
"Monday we're going to classes together and you're getting all the work you've missed. Are we clear?" Gackt asked.
Hyde nodded slowly.
"Good." Gackt said walking up the stairs. Hyde slowly processed all that had gone on in just the past few minutes.
"He talked to me like he cared..." He whispered to himself.
That evening Hyde was awoke by the sound of feet coming down the stairs. Opening his eyes he saw Gackt struggling with his bedding.
"Gackt?" He whispered.
"Sorry I was trying to get down with out waking you." Gackt said.
"I'm a light sleeper. Want some help?" Hyde asked.
"No er..sure thanks." Gackt said quietly. Hyde smiled and climbed out of his bed to help.
Together the two got Gackt's bed set up in a quick amount of time.
"Thank-you." Gackt said awkwardly. Hyde smiled brightly at him.
"No problem."
As Hyde turned to walk back to his own bed Gackt grabbed his wrist, sending a shock through his arm.
"I...Look I'm...I'm sorry." he said.
"For what?" Hyde asked suddenly cautious.
"For being such a jerk these past two years." Gackt said quietly.
Hyde smiled at the taller teen.
"It's alright." He said.
Gackt released him and stared at his hand, wondering where the shock he felt came from.
"Gackt? Aren't you going to bed?" Hyde asked quietly. Gackt looked sheepish.
"Yes, Yes I am. I'm sorry, I was...not thinking." He said. Hyde gave him a strange look.
"You don't have to apologize Gackt." He said rolling his eyes. Gackt smiled awkwardly and climbed into his own bed, rolling over so he was facing Hyde. Slowly the small teen drifted off to sleep. Gackt however continued to watch the raven, memorizing every detail of his face.
'Mom would have approved of him.' He thought before slowly allowing sleep to take him.
"Boys! You both look much more rested!" Mrs. Takarai said happily. Things between she and Gackt were still rather tense but she tried to treat him as she normally would.
"Yes. It was nice to sleep in an actual bed again." Gackt said sheepishly making Hyde giggle. When there was no insult thrown by Gackt Mrs. Takarai stood shocked.
'Could they finally be getting along?' She thought, hopeful.
"Well let's eat." Mr. Camui said coming out of the kitchen, an apron around his waist. Gackt laughed aloud seeing his father and Hyde giggled quietly while Mrs. Takarai rolled her eyes.
"Sit down boys! It's time for breakfast." Mrs. Takarai said. Both teens sat down side by side quickly.
Mrs. Takarai shot her fiance a confused look that was returned by a curious stare.
"So what do you boys have planned for today?" Mr. Camui asked.
"Noth-"
"We're going to Chachamaru's." Gackt answered. Hyde glared softly at him before shrugging.
"I guess we are." Hyde said quietly.
"I think that's great! Hyde you haven't been out with friends in so long." Mrs. Takarai said.
"Yes I have. Just not my friends here." Hyde whispered. Mrs. Takarai dropped what she held in her hand and stared at her son.
"Hideto Takarai! What have I told you about them!" She cried.
"Dear they're just teenagers." Mr. Camui tried to sooth.
"No these friends aren't teenagers and one of them runs a drug business. Hyde, promise me you've not done drugs." Mrs. Takarai said sternly.
Gackt looked at Hyde out of the corner of his eyes and watched for any sign he needed to interfere.
"Mom really, do I look like I'm on drugs? No? I'm not I promise." Hyde said smoothly.
"I don't want you seeing them again. That's why we moved you in the first place!" Mrs. Takarai yelled.
Gackt could tell Hyde was getting angry but could do nothing to stop it.
"Why can't you just believe me? I'm not on fucking drugs! I know what they can do to a person!" Hyde yelled.
"No you don't!" Mrs. Takarai yelled.
"I saw what happened to my father! DOn't tell me I don't know what drugs do to a person! I was in that car when it wrapped around that pole! I tried to wake him but I couldn't! Don't tell me I don't know!" Hyde screamed pushing away from the table. Standing he walked to the stairs quickly going down them. Gackt looked to his father and mother back to Hyde before deciding to go after Hyde.
"Hyde?" He called.
Entering the room he saw Hyde collapsed on the bed, sobbing.
"What happened out there?" Gackt asked softly. Hyde looked up at him, before starting to cry harder.
Gackt looked around before sitting next to Hyde on the bed, pulling him into his arms awkwardly.
"It's alright Hyde." He whispered trying to sooth the sobbing teen.
After nearly ten minutes Hyde began to calm himself down. Looking up he blushed when he realized he was in Gackt's arms.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
"Don't be. What happened up there?" Gackt asked.
"My...my father was on drugs. One day he took too much but didn't know it. We were in the car and suddenly he past out from an overdose. We were going to fast anyway and the car wrapped around a pole. I...I tried to wake him but...He wouldn't wake up. There was so much blood everywhere. When I was finally pulled out of the car I sobbed. I knew what had happened to my dad. I knew he was dead. There was no saving him. The paramedics said I was lucky, that I shouldn't have survived at all. But I did and now I have to live with the image of my father's mutilated body forever ingraved in my mind." Hyde explained. Gackt stared at him in shock.
"How old were you?" He asked after a few tense moments of silence.
"I was eight." Hyde said.
"So you lost your dad ten years ago?" Gackt asked.
"Yeah. It will be ten years in a few days." Hyde explained.
"I lost my mom seven years ago. She was in a car accident too. I wasn't in the car though. I was in class when I got the message. I broke down in front of my entire class. Chachamaru and You rushed to my side and got me out of the room. I cried for hours. I understood what happened but I didn't understand why. Why her? She was so sweet and gentle. She loved everyone. She's how...how I met Kami." Gackt said quietly. Hyde was still in his arms, his head on Gackt's shoulder.
"Will you tell me one day what happened between you two?" Hyde whispered.
"I don't know. My father doesn't even really know. The only ones who know are me, Kami and Chachamaru." Gackt answered. Hyde raised up and wiped his eyes.
"I'm sorry I broke down like I did." he said.
"DOn't worry about it. It's alright. Everyone deserves the right to cry. I have a question though." Gackt said.
"What is it?" Hyde asked.
"If you knew what drugs do to a person why on earth did you try to use them?" Gackt asked. Hyde sighed heavily.
"Maybe one day you'll be able to answer that question on your own." HE said.
