Usui recognized his voice, before he even finished that sentence Usui was at the door
"What are you doing here?" asked Usui
"You dropped your cellphone at the café I would have returned it sooner but I didn't really know where you lived" explained Takano. Lucky looked over the man that stood at the doorway talking so casually to Usui.
"Oh! So you're the old man"
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, where are my manners? I'm Lucky, Usui's older sister and you are…?"
"Takano Masamune, Usui's…classmate from the university."
"Ah I see, would you like to come in? We were in the middle of having cake, for Usui's birthday"
"NO!" screamed Usui. They both stared at Usui and at that moment he noticed people standing behind him. Usui turned his head around ever so slightly and realized his whole family had come into the main hallway
Damn it
"Um thanks for returning my phone, but tomorrow is Monday you have to get up early right I was on my way to bed as well" Usui lie through his teeth and felt ashamed for doing so.
"But Usui-"
"No actually he's right I only can to drop off the cellphone that's all" Takano pulled out the cellphone from his pocket and held it out for Usui.
Usui slowly walked over keeping his eyes low as to not make eye contact with his. He put his hand out and was about to take the phone but he accidently touched Takano's finger, they were cold. Just how long was Takano looking for his house in the cold and in the dark? Usui pulled his hand back at the cold touch they weren't warm like he remembered them to be. The phone fell to the ground and everyone just stood there and stared at it, Usui bent down to pick it up and noticed his hand was shaking, his eye site started to go fuzzy, he was scared, he didn't want this. Before anyone realized what was happening Usui ran out the door pushing Takano and his sister out of the way.
He started to run down the street north the complete opposite of the university and he kept running straight having no idea where he was going. Suddenly Usui felt someone yank him back but the sleeves of his shirt
"I said wait!" Takano breathed heavily as he tried to grab Usui by the arm.
But Usui didn't want to listen he kept pushing and punching and clawing at anything that was coming near him.
"Don't touch me!" Takano had enough of this; he grabbed Usui by both arms and started to shake him
"Would you snap out of it already? What the hell's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong? I want to be hated! They don't really love me! Everyone puts on smiles and tries to be happy around me and it makes me sick!" I don't deserve to be loved! Usui had started crying and shaking so hard it hurt "why should they love someone who was born into this world by taking away someone else's life?"
Usui sat next to Takano on the side of the road and both of them didn't say anything.
"Allen was born first, 3 years later Lucky onee-sama. I was born last, 2 years after Lucky, but something went wrong during my birth, a few hours after I was born she died of complications, blood loss. And it's all my fault, that Allen and Lucky have almost no memory of their mother, because I was born, a cursed child, and took their mother away. I didn't always think this, but, recently I just noticed that I'm alone even more that I was before." Usui was emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted, he sat, not caring for a response, quietly sobbing to himself like he had done many times before.
Takano reached over and hugged Usui as tightly as he could and whispered softly in his ear "you won't be alone anymore." For the first time in a long time Usui felt like a heavy burden being lifted from his shoulders he could breathe easier and cry easier as well. We curled his fingers into Takano's shirt and squeezed tightly, just in case someone tried to take him away from him.
"Takano, I don't want to go back home"
"You're going to have to go home eventually Usui, but, for tonight, that's okay"
