ᴺᴼᵂ ᴾᴸᴬᵞᴵᴺᴳ: I'm Fine by BTS

(shin and waka's fight I mentioned in the last chapter)

1.

two days ago...

"You don't listen to me, don't you?" Wakasa scowled, shaking Shinichiro's shoulders. "Shin-chan?"

The male with midnight locks said nothing, as he just gazed at his betrothed. This bugged Wakasa even more. They stayed in that position, the lilac-orbed male gripping tightly on the ravenette's shoulders, while the taller one just looked at him. The younger one showed his fangs, his eyes opened wide in anger. He pushed him away.

"Why don't you?! I'm worried for you, you know?!" Crystal tears fell by Wakasa's lilac orbs, his body shaking and his jaw tight. "You're doing so much harm and it's hurting everyone who loves you! Manjiro, Emma, Izana, Takemichi, Takeomi, Benkei, me! Why are you acting like this?!"

Shinichiro stiffened. His vision started to get blurry, his dark orbs beginning to water. Seeing Wakasa cry made him feel weak, it made him feel useless and immoral. It's all his fault that Wakasa's fearing out like this. He was too absorbed in his own revenge that he didn't listen to anyone who worried about him. And one of them was Wakasa.

My cold heart has forgotten how to call you

But I'm not lonely, I'm fine, I'm fine

The darkness of the night

Shakes awake my sleeping dreams

But I'm not afraid, I'm fine, I'm fine

He tried to call out his name, tried to move, and tried to hug him, but he can't, his muscles stiff and his throat tight, suffocating him, The younger one tried not to cry, but the tears start to roll down his eyes, his fingers curled up into fists. Wakasa's frustrated and anxious about Shinichiro.

"Yeah, you're trying to look for the mastermind who killed Benkei but you're not harming just alliances with him, but innocent people and your family and friends as well!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice cracking. Shinichiro flinched. "Takemichi did everything to save you and yet you're giving him more problems to deal with! Can you give him a break? Can you give me a break?"

The ravenette stayed still, his midnight locks covering his eyes. Diamond-like tears cruised down his cheeks, as he sobbed softly. He can't move, he just wanted to embrace him. But, he didn't have the courage to.

"I love you, Shinichiro!" Wakasa shook his head. "Why are you pushing me away? Do you hate me? Am I a burden to you?!"

The male who owned bi-coloured locks stomped closer to the male with onyx orbs. He yanked the collar of his ebony button-up. His voice was trailing off his throat, the sweet succulent melody came out as rugged and brambly, his voice screeching in pain.

"Do you still even love me?!"

Shinichiro wailed, and this made Wakasa flinch and let his collar go.

"Help me...just, please...I can't take it anymore."

I'm just fine, all of my pain
I can overcome without you
I'm just fine, don't worry
I can smile now 'cause everyone knows your voice

"Shin-chan."

"Please!" He looked at him, his hands now holding Wakasa's small waist, his fingers crumpling up the white material hugging the younger male. "I love you, but I can't control myself..."

Immediately, the lilac-orbed pulled him closer to him, his arms wrapping around his neck, one hand holding his nape. He rested his chin on Shinichiro's shoulder, closing his eyes as he caressed the back of the ravenette's neck. The older male wrapped his arms around Wakasa's waist, sobbing by his shoulder.

"It's alright..."

"Just...you're the only one I trust. Help me, save me."

ᴺᴼᵂ ᴾᴸᴬᵞᴵᴺᴳ: Save Me by BTS

Give me your hand, save me, save me
I need your love before I fall (Fall), fall (Fall)

Give me your hand, save me, save me

I need your love before I fall, fall

"I'll be here for you, don't worry, my love."

But, the two can't just stop fighting, and Takeomi's sick of being their shoulder to cry on (especially Shinichiro). Their shouts and snarls are more intimidating than usual, even throwing much hate at one another. And then, after a few seconds, they make up. Then fight again. It's like a repetitive cycle, a routine for them, and Mikey and Takeomi are bothered as shit. Takemichi tried to connect them again, but both are too stubborn to put down their pride.

After this fight, they never talked. (After that hug, Shinichiro and Wakasa fought again. Like, just after a few seconds. Then, they never talked again.)

2.

"Takemichi-kun," Shinichiro's low voice ringed by the phone, his smooth voice trailing over the screen.

"Shinichiro-san? What's wrong?"

"Wakasa's ignoring me," He sobbed. "Kindly put him on the phone."

"Alright," Takemichi gave the phone to Wakasa, who was chewing on bubble gum by the couch. The older male then looked at him when he called his name. "Shinichiro-san wants to talk to you."

Wakasa growled in annoyance, turning his head to the other direction with a frown on his face.

"Um...he doesn't want to talk, Shinichiro-kun..."

Shinichiro soughed, "Hah, well, I'll talk to him later."

"Sure, bye!" Takemichi hung up the phone. Shinichiro put away his phone and leaned back on the chair, his legs crossed over the other. By the left, Takeomi laughed.

"He's still mad at you, huh..."
