Special thanks to Elle von Werner and KuroCiel for reviewing! I don't know why but KuroCiel' review isn't showing up? Sigh… Anyways, I apologize for updating so late! I was distracted! A lot! I'm sorry! But I still updated!
'My, Yuuri has very interesting friend' Ken thought. When he asked them to join their group, Yuuri answered yes without thinking while Wolfram was glaring at him. He did notice that Yuuri seemed a bit more relaxed than usual.
When the bell rang, Wolfram half dragged Yuuri out of the classroom and away from Ken. Yuuri was completely clueless of why Wolfram did that but followed. Ken was smiling inwardly as Wolfram pulled Yuuri out of class and his friends approached him.
"Hey Ken, you ditched us for Yuuri and his new friend" Ken turned to see a semi-mad Carlos and Monlina.
"I didn't ditch you" Ken said "Besides, you have Monlina in your group"
"That's not what I meant"
"Don't you think they're something different about Yuuri?" Ken asked, looking at the doorway.
"I can't tell exactly what it is, but there is something different" Monlina said, also looking at the doorway.
"What are you talking about?" Carlos asked and looked as well but he had no clue what he was looking at.
~Another chance~
"Why did you let him join our group?" Wolfram complained but it came out more like a whine.
"Because we needed a last member" Yuuri said and Wolfram pouted "He's a good friend"
'That's exactly why I don't like him! He's too friendly for my liking! But Yuuri is also friendly… No! That's completely different! Argh!" Wolfram thought. He looked trouble and it worried Yuuri.
"Wolfram?" Yuuri called, concern written all over his face "Is there something wrong?"
"No, nothing! I was just thinking about something" Wolfram was trying to sound convincing but failed miserably.
"Okay" Yuuri said. He let the subject drop since Wolfram didn't seem comfortable talking about it while Wolfram sighed in relieve. Even though they're in a relationship, he didn't want Yuuri to think of him like a controlling boyfriend. Because he's not! He's just… just… He just didn't like the idea of Yuuri being so close to anyone else.
"Yuuri? Where are you going? We're going this way" Wolfram said and pointed in the opposite direction Yuuri was going. Yuuri stopped and turned around. He looked Wolfram with a sheepish smile before walking back on the right way.
"Sorry, force of habit" Yuuri said and Wolfram sighed "I was thinking about something so I didn't even realize where I was going"
"Here, let's try this" Wolfram said and held Yuuri's hand. Yuuri blushed at the sudden action but did nothing against it "This way you wouldn't get lost"
"O-okay" Yuuri stuttered and they kept walking.
"You're so cute when you're shy" Wolfram said and simply smiled when Yuuri blushed darker. They continued walking in silence and Wolfram remembered about the time at Yuuri's old house "Yuuri, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, go ahead"
"It's kind of personal though"
"… It's fine. Just ask me" Yuuri said hesitantly.
"Did you… run away from home before? I mean when I was helping you pack your things, everything fit perfectly in the suitcase" Wolfram said and was looking at Yuuri for a reaction but he showed nothing but sadness.
"No… But I almost did. I think it was two years ago" Yuuri said. His voice was calm but full of emotions.
"Almost? Why didn't you? What happened?"
~Another Chance~
"I also noticed something different about him!" Hana said with a shock expression.
"There's nothing different" Elizabeth said "He has a new friend, so what? Then again, his friend is pretty good looking"
"Elizabeth, seriously? Is all that you can think about is guys?" Carlos asked.
"What am I supposed to notice about Yuuri? He hardly ever talked" Elizabeth said.
"Maybe we can visit him" Hana suggested.
"He doesn't like us to visit though" Monlina said.
"He's home already. Besides, we'll use the excuse that we were going to Ken's house" Elizabeth said.
"That's actually pretty smart" Carlos complimented.
"Shut up! Just because I'm not smart like Ken, doesn't mean I'm stupid" Elizabeth yelled at him.
"If you paid attention in class, it would help a lot" Ken added.
"Just lead the way and keep your mouth shut!" Elizabeth said.
"We're almost there" Ken said and everyone was surprised. They all unconsciously followed Ken home when they was talking about Yuuri.
~Another Chance~
"My father was home early. When I got home, he was drunk. Like usual, he was taking out his anger on me, physically and verbally. He was enraged that time. He blamed me for everything. The death of mother and Shori, him losing his job…"
"Yuuri, I…" Wolfram was speechless and this rarely happened. He wanted to help lessen Yuuri's pain but at the same time, he had no clue what to say. But Yuuri shook his head and continued.
"I felt like… I didn't belong here. Or anywhere. There were times where I thought that death was the only way out" Yuuri said with sad smile. Wolfram's eyes widen and his grip on Yuuri tightened a bit "But of course, I never had the courage. I didn't have the courage to kill myself. Or to face my father. Or leave. But that time, I felt like leaving was the only other way to escape. I packed all my things and I was about to walk out of my room, out of the house and never return but reality came crashing down on me. Where was I going to go? I could live with my friends but I don't want to be burden on them. I had nowhere to go"
"Yuuri… I… I never knew…" But Yuuri shook his head.
"It's fine. I felt better now that I talked about it" Yuuri said. It was true. He felt like he's been carrying this heavy weight, the weight of his past, but now, it seemed to have disappeared "And you helped me"
"I did?"
"Yes, you gave me courage to continue living" Yuuri said and Wolfram pulled him into a hug.
"Then I'm glad. Glad that I helped you" Wolfram whispered.
"Thanks for being there" Yuuri whispered back.
"Not to be rude, but how did you keep your sanity?" Wolfram said as he pulled out of the hug "I'm sure I would have killed him if he was my father"
"I don't know. I suppose it's because I agreed with him. It was my fault that my family fell apart"
"But now you have a new family" Wolfram said and smiled warmly at Yuuri as they continued to walk home again.
"Yeah. That's true"
~Another Chance~
"This is Yuuri's house?" Elizabeth said.
"Yes. I live next door" Ken said and rang the doorbell.
"I actually never met Yuuri's father" Monlina said.
"I didn't either" Hana said.
"You didn't?" Carlos said, surprised. He knew that they've been to Yuuri's house before.
"He's always at work when we visited" Hana and Monlina said at the same time.
"Don't be surprised if he's drunk" Ken said and everyone stared at his in disbelief.
"Did you just say-" Carlos was cut off by the door being opened. There stood Sohma, in a suit but it was all wrinkled and reeked of alcohol. His hair was messed up and he looked grumpy.
"What do you want?" Sohma realized who it was and his face turned happy and cheerful "Haven't you all got big? Carlos, you've grown quite a lot"
"Thank you, Shibuya-san"
"Let's see, I remember that the brunette is Hana and the blonde is Monlina. But I can see a red head and two blondes" Sohma said.
"I'm Hana. I dyed my hair, because someone dared me to" Hana said and glared at Elizabeth, who stuck out her tongue at her.
"I'm Elizabeth. You can tell the different that I have pure blonde hair and she has dark blonde hair" Elizabeth said.
"That means you're Monlina" Sohma said and she nodded "What I can I do for you kids?"
"We're looking for Yuuri" Monlina said and Sohma frowned at the name.
"He no longer lives here"
"What? How can he-"
"Look, I don't know where he is. If that's the reason you're here, I would suggest you leave" Sohma said and closed the door.
"Now what?" Elizabeth asked and they all sighed.
"I guess we can go to my house. There's no point of standing here" Ken said.
"But where can Yuuri be?"
I finished! Yay!
Some of you might think that Elizabeth seems kind of like Wolfram, right? Because I think she seems like it. I was trying to make her seem like she's friends with them but she doesn't really what to.
I'm trying my best to pick a certain personality for my OCs but I'm still not really certain…
I'll do my best to update earlier but no promises! Please Read &Review!
