Sick At Heart Continued…
Continuation of Day 4, Monday
7:15 am
Dead silence followed after the gunshot, as everyone froze and his teacher didn't budge an inch. The bullet having grazed the bridge of the upperclassman's nose and was now laying on the grass five feet from them. A burn like mark on the skin the bullet grazed, as a little blood seeped out and started rolling down his face. The upperclassman nearly frozen in place, as he turned to the exorcist and stared at him in shock.
"You can't-"
"I can." Yukio cut in as he kept his aim on the guy, as he pulled out a paper shoved in his pocket and held it up. "As of last night I am to care for Shima and protect him in anyway, till he regains the feeling in his legs back and is well again. The Headmaster signed it last night."
With that his teacher threw the paper in front of the upperclassmen. The document flopping open to reveal the signature and official stamp.
"Now, let go of Shima's leg and stand up." Yukio ordered, as he put both hands back on the gun. "You are currently endangering his health."
In an instant the guy let go of the exwire's leg and stood up. His hands up in the air and his hands shaking, as he stepped away for the pink-haired teen and stayed silent. His teacher not taking his eyes off the guy, as he lowered his gun and rushed over to the exwire's side. The exorcist helping the older teen into the sitting position, as he winced at the pain between the joints and Yukio glanced at the upperclassman.
"The Headmaster will be hearing about this and you will be punished for this." His teacher threatened, before they all ran off and he turned his attention back to Shima. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?"
"Just a little." Shima admitted, as he looked up at his teacher rubbed where it hurt to ease the pain. "I can manage."
"I've got pain meds." His teacher spoke, as he dug through his pocket and pulled out a bottle, handing it to the teen. "Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm sure, Sensei." The exwire spoke, as he took two pills from the bottle and handed it back to the younger. "Sensei worries too much."
"It's my job to worry. I'm supposed to be taking care if you."
"Speaking of that, did you really ask the Headmaster for permission to protect me?"
With a bit of hesitation, his teacher nodded and put his gun and the document away and out of sight. Only for his teacher to gently cup his face and give him a worried look, as he stared into his eyes.
"I thought it was better to be cautious, then stupid." Yukio spoke, as he gently stroked his cheek with his thumb. "You've been getting weaker lately and then you lost your legs. I knew you wouldn't be able to defend yourself, so I went to the Headmaster for his permission. I couldn't stand the thought of you getting hurt."
A smile stretched across the older's face, as he grabbed his teacher's tie and pulled him closer. Their lips smashing together, as the exorcist gave him a surprised look and Shima wrapped his arms around his teacher's neck. The kiss only lasting moments, before the exwire pulled away and admire the blush across his teacher's face.
"Then I guess I'm so lucky Sensei is my bodyguard." The pink-haired teen spoke, as he gave him a big smile. "I'll be safe with Sensei."
"Yeah." Yukio muttered, as he pulled the teen close and held him tightly. "I'll make sure no one will touch you."
"Then we should get going, before I'm late." Shima spoke, as his teacher froze.
"Right, sorry." The brunette quickly spoke, as he let go of the ten and carefully lifted him into his arms. "We can't have you being late."
7:28 am
"Sorry we're late, Nii-san." Yukio spoke, as he walked over to his fuming older brother. "We ran into trouble."
"You better be sorry!" Rin spoke in frustration, as he turned and glared at him. "I didn't get to walk with Bon to his class! Do you know how- What happened to Shima?"
Yukio bit his lip, as Shima's hold on his shoulder's tightened and looked back at the teen/ A look of cautiousness and nervousness in his gaze, as he looked at the exorcist and gave him a small nod of approval. The younger giving the exwire a small nod in return, as he turned back to his brother and Rin raise an eyebrow in question; Shima's bag sitting on the floor beside him.
"Shima's legs stopped working." Yukio spoke, only to get a look of shock from his older brother. "He can't feel them."
"Are you kidding me?" Rin question, just as the look of shock on his face faded. "Are you sure he's not faking it?"
"Why would I fake it?" Shima suddenly yelled, as the two jumped and looked at him to see tears in his eyes. "I have no reason to fake something like this. You have no idea how badly I'd rather not have my voice, then lose my legs."
"Shima."
"Alright." Rin sighed, as he stood up straight and shoved his hands in his pockets.
The demon looking at the pink-haired teen, as Yukio glanced between the two of them and Rin smiled. His older brother heading on down the hall and absent-mindedly waving back at them. The teen not bothering to look back at them, as he spoke aloud.
"If you have something you love and cherish, you hold it close, even if it hurts to think of letting go."
Without another word, the older twin disappeared around the corner and Yukio stared at the spot his brother had just occupied. His mind trying to comprehend what his brother had said, but found he couldn't pick it apart like he usually could. For once his brother had said something he couldn't understand and he knew it was important. He just didn't know what it meant. Had that comment even been directed toward him?
"Hey, Shima. Do you-" The exorcist had started to ask, till he turned his head and saw tears welled up in the teen's eyes. "Shima? Shima, what's wrong?"
The exwire didn't utter a word, as he squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head. Tears rolling down his face, as he leaned into the exorcist's back and buried his face into the younger's neck. His arms wrapping around the brunette's neck, as the older's fingers clung to his white dress shirt and a soft sob came from the pink-haired teen. A soft mumble of words coming from the older, between his sobs, as Yukio reluctantly grabbed Shima's bag and walked down the hall; when he couldn't make out the teen's words. The younger unsure if he should stop and comfort the teen or keep walking, but his legs kept moving forward. After all, he didn't know why the teen had suddenly burst into tears. He could only assume it had something to do with Rin's words. Some kind of hidden meaning in them, that Yukio couldn't grasp and that only Shima could.
At times like this he'd get pissed and demand to know the answer, when he found he couldn't find it himself, but this was a situation where he couldn't do that. The matter seemed personal and pushing on the subject would get worse. Shima was already in tears and sobbing into his neck, so it was best not to make it worse. He promised he'd protect the older teen from now on, and that meant emotional stress as well. All he could do now was comfort the teen and hope for the best. After all, he hated to see the teen reduced to tears. It tore him apart.
"D-do you want to skip your first class?" Yukio reluctantly spoke over the teen's sobbing, as he shifted a bit to keep his grip on Shima's backpack. "We'd make a big scene if you came in crying. You're already late."
All the teen got was a heavy sob from the exwire, as his fingers tightened around the white fabric in his grip. The exorcist not saying a word, as he turned in to opposite direction of the older teen's first class and headed down the hall. It not taking ling, before Yukio pushed the door in his path open and they found themselves in the courtyard. Shima's sobbing still echoing in the younger teen's ears, as he walked down the steps and walked over to the huge fountain. The exorcist carefully kneeling down enough to set Shima on the ledge, before he set the teen's bag on the ground and went to get up. His body jerking back as he looked down at the exwire's fingers still dug into his shirt and sat down in the grass. The younger sitting in between the older's useless legs, and his head against the other's stomach, as he looked up at his student. Yukio finding himself looking up into a pair of pained and saddened honey eyes, filled with tears. The exorcist finding himself unable to look away from pained eyes, as the teen above him returned his gaze and bit back a sob.
The two of them unable to tear their eyes away from each other, as silence stretched out between them. A single tear falling onto the younger's, before the exorcist moved. The brunette carefully lifting his arm up and gently wiping the tear rolling down the other's cheek, as the pink-haired teen jumped a little at the sudden contact and grabbed the younger's hand. Not a single word passing between them, as the exwire's grip on his hand tightened and his eyes squeezed shut. His sobs getting louder, as Yukio bit his lip and fought back the urge to get up and hug his student.
"Shima, tell me what's wrong." Yukio spoke calmly, as his student's grip on his hand tightened even more. "I can help you."
All he got was a violent shake of the head, as he looked at the teen in worry and bit his lip.
"Shima-"
"I-I c-can't." The teen sobbed out, as Yukio looked up at him in confusion.
"You can't what?"
"I c-can't l-let go." Shima sobbed out, as the exorcist stared up at the teen with a dumbfounded expression.
"You can't let go?" Yukio repeated, as he looked at the teen and then the fingers dug into his shirt. "Shima, I don't quite understand what you're talking about; but I can hel-"
Yukio's words were cut off, as he was suddenly yanked toward the exwire and was pressed into his stomach. Shima's arms wrapped tightly around him, and his fingers dug into his shirt, as the older's sobbing got louder. The exorcist unsure of what to do, as he stared up at his student and those pained honey eyes bore into his.
"Shima…I…"
"I c-can't l-let go." Shima sobbed, as he eye never left the younger's. "R-Rin-chan was right. I d-don't w-want to l-let go."
"Shima, I don't understand." Yukio finally spoke, as he tired to sit up and found the older wouldn't let him. "I don't understand what Nii-san said to you."
Shima just smiled down at him, as he leaned forward and buried his face into the exorcist's hair. His grip on the younger not even wavering in the slightest, as he tried to calm his sobs.
"R-Rin-chan said if I h-hold w-what I love c-close to me, it h-hurt to th-think of letting go." Shima tried to say between sobs, as Yukio tried to put everything together.
"I still don't get it." The exorcist spoke, as the smile on the older's face slowly faded.
"I a-always th-thought Sensei was smarter th-than everyone I knew." Shima softly spoke, as the brunette looked away from the pink-haired teen to avoid the look of disappointment in his gaze. "S-Sensei should I know."
"I don't. I'm not as smart as you think, Shima."
"Th-that's a lie." Came out of the older's mouth, as Yukio looked up at the older in surprise. "S-Sensei just has to th-think harder."
"I can't."
The older didn't say a word, as he sat up and looked ahead of him. His grip loosening up enough to give the younger space to sit up properly and follow his gaze. Nothing but green grass and blue sky ahead of them, as Yukio frowned and looked at the older in question. Tears still rolling down his cheeks, and a smile on his face, as he softly spoke.
"Sensei will find the answer, and when you do, I'll be waiting."
Scarlett: *Frowning at Yukio, as she points to Rin's quote* how stupid can you be?
Rin: *walking into Kitchen* pretty stupid, apparently. Even I got that one.
Scarlett: That's because you said it
Rin: *shrugs* don't hate the person who said it *disappears into kitchen*
Yukio: *frowning* I just don't get it, alright. It has to be some code.
Scarlett: *frowning* right *rolls eyes* I think we need to put you through therapy. My yaoi therapy. Then maybe you won't be this difficult.
Yukio: I'm not being difficult
Amaimon: *points to a struggling Shima in lap( My toy is trying to be difficult. Can we put him through therapy?
Shima: *squeaks in fear*
Scarlett and Yukio: NO!
Scarlett: *smirks* looks like you don't need therapy. Just motivation.
Yukio: *smacks forehead* shit
Reviews:
NiteMareB4XMAS: YES! Pissed off Yukio is the most EPIC! XD And yes, poor Shima. Poor guy needs a vacation.
Blackirishawk: *bows* sorry, the guy didn't get shot in the head. I told myself I wasn't going to kill anyone this time around.*Smiles* But i hope you enjoyed.
Allycat2090: *points to Yukio and pouts* Yes, Yukio! Shooting people is bad! *gets a frown* Oi! At least say something! *watches him walk away* Asshole! *huffs and turns to* and no, there will be no sequel story with Griffin and Mephisto in it. They're too lovely dovey already and there is no point. I'd probably die from the romance.
black snow rose: Yes, they could be expelled. *sighs* but sadly we never find out because we never see the assholes again in the fic. So you can be creative and make up the punishment. I'll give you the honor of torturing them.
Quiet. crash: *laughs lightly* Don't worry, no one is dying. Everybody lives at the end of this fic. I promise.
Not nameless: *squeals and hugs the Rin plush to death* So cute! XD *Runs over to Yukio and waves it in face* Look what I got! It's a Rin plushie! *Yukio gives her and unamused frown, and Scarlett pouts* Fine, be an asshole! *turns back to and smiles* and I'm sorry your future sight didn't work. *smiles* It just means I'm too unpredictable.
Guest: *tilts head* What happened? Well... *smiles and throws hands up in the air* there was a badass moment where Yukio totally owned the upperclassman! *huffs and crosses arms cutely* Where have you been? *giggles* jk, I'm hyped up on air.
mjlover0021: Yes! Never underestimate Yukio! *laughs evilly and gets a weird look from said exorcist* Oi! You were the one that tried to shot him!
