*------------------*
Billy get's introduced, but that's about it for now. Also, because I'm such a lazy butt, All dialogue with a * is Japnese. :P
*------------------*
"What did I tell you about calling me Ash, Christain!"
"Not to do it. What of it?"
"For the love of....."
"Hey, don't sweat it!"
"I will sweat it, my name is ASHTON! Get it right!"
"But your hair color is......"
"That DOESN'T MATTER!"
"Of course it does, it looks like the color of....." Ryo watched in fasination as Christain argued with with the clerk at what seemed to be a book store. They two seemed to know each other a great deal. Ash had a...no, wait....Ashton had a odd look to himself. Skin and hair as pale as snow and light blue eyes. Very odd indeed, but also ver erotic.
"See, this is why I broke up with you!" That snapped Ryo out of fix. Why Ashton broke up.. that means Christian is...no...well...
"Excuse me? I broke up with you!"
"Forgetful, as always Christian."
"Listen you pale pain in the ass......!" The two were hushed by an elderly woman, who, quite loudly, hissed at the two, demanding silence, before going back to her book. "Okay..." Christain wispered, "I need a japanese/english dictionary."
"Well....any normal person would check the 'Foreign Language' section, but knowing you, you would egnore me and go to non-fiction."
"Fuck you..."
"You already did that, three times if I remembered correctly." Ashton then produced a smug smile as Christian leaned in closer to the boy, Ryo watching in awe. So Christan was.....that way....
"Why don't you go back to fucking school? You need to graduate. Seriously."
"Untill those moron teaches get brains, I'll stay here. Probly take night school at the center."
"No shit." Christain then yanked Ryo forward so that he was in Ashton's eye view, causing a squeak of surprize from the bruinette. "This poor kid's japanese and the stupid fucks let him run around like a lost puppy." Ashton looked at Ryo, who just stood there.
"Fuck. And let me guess, the kids in the school gave him trouble, and oh, so like you, you took him under your wing." Christain just smiled.
"Didn't hear you complain when I did that for you, Ashton. Buncha fucking savages in that school." With that said, Christain led Ryo deeper into the store, the bruinette still in a daze. Christian was...oh...oh.....
"*Who was that boy, Ashton?*" Ryo asked and waited patiently as Christian flipped through the book, scribling down words on the napkin as he went. Finally, Christain smiled and closed th book.
"He's.....a good friend of mine. He used to go to our school, but then dropped out and got a job at the book store. He left school because he couldn't handle the abuse from the kids." Ryo nodded and picked at his food some more, Ashton's and Christian's words comming back to him. "Fuck you..." "You already did that...." "See, this is why I broke up with you!"
"*Are...are you gay?*" Ryo spit out and emediately covered his mouth. What was he doing? For him to just ask? And why did it bother him? Ryo just watched in shock as Christain quickly searched the book, who's eyes widened as soon as the translation was competed. "Gommen Nasai...." Ryo muttered, scared and in shock.
"Well....you get to the point, don't you?" Christain asked as he leaned over the table. Ryo simply shrinked into his chair, trying to get away from Christain. *Shouldn't have asked it, shouldn't have......* he told himself as he found himself backed into the corner. Closing his eyes, Ryo braced for the pain, but instead found himself only an inch apart from Christain's face. *Those......those eyes......* Ryo thought as he stared into the blue abyss. Christian smiled.
"Yes......yes, I am." He simply stated and sat back down to finish his food, leaving Ryo in a trance.
Christian........
"Ryo, is this your house?" Christain asked and the bruinette numbly turned his head to see the new house he now resided in.
"Hai..." Ryo wispered, and wimpered as Christain stepped off the bike, Ryo's conforting warmth stolen from him. Ryo followed suit and steped onto his lawn. He watched as Christain produced his book bag and new supplies from the compartments on the motorcycle.
"Here you go Ryo." Ryo took the items from the blond and watched in disbelief as Christain strapped the helmet on his own head and strattled the bike. Christian was leaving.......? Christian took one look at Ryo and sighed. Digging into his pocket, Christian took out a faded and folded piece of paper. "Let me borrow a pen." Ryo quickly dove through his bookbag and procured the desired item. Taking the pen, Christian quickly wrote down something, then gave both the pen and the piece of paper. "That's my phone number. If anything is wrong, call me, alright?" Ryo nodded numbly. It helped to have such a thing, but he still couldn't help feeling abandoned. Sighing, Ryo stared at the ground in sorrow and then headed to his house when Christian's voice stopped him. "I'll pick you up for school tomarrow, okay?" Ryo head perked up and he turned around, smiling brightly.
"Hai!" Ryo yelled and ran into the house, Christain's phone number in his hand and Christian's promise in his heart.
