The phone on the night stand started to ring, making Mika flinch. His desk clock flashed a red 11:52 pm at him. The boy turned his head toward the device, who would have called him at this hour? He stood up and made his way to his phone. The lit up screen showed "Yuu-chan ". Mika wondered what his boyfriend wanted from him. They agreed not to call today as they were having an exam the next day.

He guessed it had to be important since Yuu was still calling him. Usually he would wait for a second beep and then hang up.

"Hey, Yuu-chan, do you need something?" Mika sat on his bed and answered with a happy voice. He could use a break for a small chat.

"H-hey... Mika" at the sound of Yuu's voice Mika felt as his heart stopped for a second. Even with his voice being slightly changed through the call he still could hear it wasn't normal. He still could hear that something has happened.

"Yuu-chan? What happened? Oh my God, are you crying?" the blond shot up onto his legs, not able to sit pacefully. His Yuu-chan was crying. Whoever did this will suffer, Mika will make sure of this.

"Nothing h-happened..."

"Yuu-chan don't give me this shit, I can clearly hear something's wrong!" Yuu must have winced on the other side of the call. It wasn't usual for Mika to shout at him, let alone swear.

"Did Guren do something to you? I swear, if he did I'm going to kill him"

"It's not about Guren... Mika? Please come get me?" Yuu pleaded, his voice made something inside Mika's heart break.

"Of course. Where are you?" Mika grabbed his keys and rushed to the entrance.

"At... At the park near the school" Mika managed to put on his shoes with only one hand.

"I'm coming, I'll be there in ten minutes" he heard a quiet 'okay' and the line went silent. The blond grabbed his jacket, shouted to his mother to close the door behind him and ran. The night was cold, Mika only hoped Yuu took his own jacket before he went to the park. Which was really weird for Yuu. Mika knew just how he doesn't like to go out on his own this late.

If possible, he sped up. Something must have happened. His lungs started to slightly hurt from the chill air.

Taking the turn he immediately noticed Yuu's shilouette sitting on a bench. The boy was holding his phone in an almost crushing grip, his face lit up by the screen. At the sound of Mika's steps he raised his head, his tear-stained cheeks almost glowed in the soft light.

Mika stopped when he was right in front of his boyfriend, kneeling before him to look at his face.

"Hey... what's wrong?" Mika asked as he was trying to catch his breath. Yuu-chan was more important that his own lungs. Yuu opened his mouth, but the only sound that made it's way out was a sob. Fresh tears started falling from his green eyes. Mika quickly sat beside him and drew into an almost bone crushing hug.

"Shh, c'mere…" Yuu's hands clenched on his jacket, his whole body shook with suppressed cries.

"Just breathe, okay? It's okay to cry…" Yuu nodded, the movement almost unnoticeable.

"I'm right here with. I'm not going anywhere." Mika stroked the smaller boy's back, in hope it would soothe him. It did helped.

They sat together in silence, interrupted by Yuu's quiet whimpers and Mika's light shhh's here and there.

Mika felt Yuu move his head under his chin, pressing his red cheek against his boyfriend's shoulder.

"Ever wonder if the world would be better off without you…?"

"Wha... Yuu-chan, what are you talking about?!" Mika tighneted his grip aroud Yuu's body. What was he talking about!

"I'm sick of being USELESS."

"You're not useless." a hand moved to stroke the black hair.

"What did Guren do to you?!" fuck that man, he was supposed to be Yuu's guardian and take care of him, not to make him cry.

"It wasn't him. He doesn't know anything"

"Then what?"

"My parents" with that Mika knew everything. Yuu had spent eight years with those sick people who blamed their own son with every failure of their. It didn't stopped even after Yuu was taken away from them and placed in the orphanage. It continued until they were twelve. Then Yuu was taken in by some rich bastard who somehow managed to hide him from his parents.

Well, not anymore. Mika felt his blood boil in his veins. Was there nothing they could do to stop this madness? How could a person be this cruel for their own child?!

"Don't listen to them. Don't you EVER listen to them." Mika didn't even need to know what those bastards said. He had heard his fair share back at the orphanage. Back when Yuu's mother would sneak in near the fance and scream profanities at the poor boy.

Yuu nodded.

"They've got my number" he sniffed.

"We can block them. If you want I'll tell Guren to change it" Mika kissed the top of dark, messy hair.

"You have to tell him about it. And next time don't run away in the middle of the night"

"... I got scared" Yuu mumbled, tiny pout forming on his lips. A good sign.

"I know you did, but it was reckless. Next time call someone to come to you" the smaller boy only nodded.

Mika helped Yuu get up and walked him home, making Yuu promise he will tell his guardian what happened. The blond felt better when he managed to get 'I promise' from Yuu.

He also felt weirdly satisfied when Guren smashed a glass with his bare hand with a promise of murder.
