Later that night, Yuki and Yuno were both drunk and exhausted.
"That was amazing, Yuno."
"Thanks, Yuki. I loved it, too. I never thought the first guy I had sex with would someone I barely knew, but...I dunno, I just feel close to you for some reason. But I bet all the girls say that."
"Actually...that was my first time, too."
"It was?"
"Yeah. I'm always tellin' everyone that I'm fuckin' girls all the time, but it's all bullshit. I-I always pretend like I'm some kind of cool gangster, but...I'm just a loser. I'm a pathetic, lying, drunk, high loser. My dad, before the divorce, he used to drink and do drugs all the time. He eventually gambled away most of what we owned. I always told myself that I'd never turn out like him, but...here I am now. I'm just like the bastard. I dunno why I'm tellin' you all this. Maybe it's the wine talkin', but for some reason I feel like I can open up to you. Like you're a part of me that I've been missin' my entire life. That probably sounds fuckin' stupid."
"It's not stupid. I feel the same way about you. My parents...I think they hate me. My dad works long hours so he doesn't have to be around me and my mom, and my mom, she..." Yuno started to cry.
"Hey, it's alright. I'm here for you. You can tell me."
"She...she starves me, Yuki. She locks me in a cage and starves me."
"Jesus Christ. Yuno, you-you need to tell the cops."
"I...I can't."
"Yuno, what if she doesn't let you out one day? What if she kills you?!"
"Yuki...they're my parents. Please. Don't tell anyone."
"Okay. I won't tell anyone. But if you ever need somewhere to stay, you can always come over here."
"Thanks, Yuki. You know, before I got that call from you, I was about to kill myself. When you called me, it showed me that for the first time in my life, someone cared about me. You could've called any girl you wanted, but you called me. You saved my life, Yuki. I'll always love you for that."
"I love you too, Yuno."
"So...is that weed under your bed any good?"
"No. I don't care what Hino says, bitch laced it with somethin'."
"Okay. I guess we'll just stick to the wine for tonight."
"I guess we will. Also, about earlier, during the sex, I don't really think you're a slut. That was just kinda in the heat of the moment."
"It's alright. I kinda liked it."
The two fell asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, Yuki walked Yuno to her house.
"Yuno, before you go in there...I want you to have something." Yuki pulled out a handgun from his pocket and gave it to Yuno. "In case you ever need it."
Yuno put the gun in her pocket and opened the door. They were greeted by Yuno's father shouting at her.
"Yuno, where have you been?! I got home at 5:00 AM this morning, and you weren't here! I was worried sick!"
"No, you weren't," said Yuki, with a hint of disgust and anger in his voice.
"Who the Hell is this?!"
"Dad, this is Yukiteru, my boyfriend."
"Mr. Gasai, could I talk to you outside for a minute?" Yuki calmly asked.
Yuno's father stepped outside.
"Mr. Gasai, Yuno told me that her mother has been locking her in a cage and starving her. Fortunately for you and your fucking whore of a wife, for whatever insane reason, your daughter still loves you two and has asked me not to get the police involved."
"Look, my wife, she- she's sick. Physically and mentally."
"Frankly, I wouldn't care if she had fucking AIDS. And as for the insanity, I guess that explains what she does. But it doesn't explain what you do."
"I haven't done anything!"
"Exactly. Your fucking disease-ridden cunt of a wife had been torturing your daughter, and you've done nothing to stop her. Because you're a fucking coward. The next time she hurts Yuno, you should kill your wife and yourself. Because if you don't, I will make you two fucking pray for death. And don't even THINK about calling the cops on me, because if I'm out of the picture, I'll tell them everything, because I know that Yuno will die in this house if I'm not there to protect her. Because you, her father, her fucking FATHER, thought that I'd ruin your worthless life. And if you call the cops, that's exactly what I'm gonna do. I honestly hope your daughter kills you. God knows she's earned that right."
Yuki walked home, went up to his room, and sighed.
"Dammit. Now I'm gonna have to get a new gun from Hino."
