'thoughts'
==============================================================
"You see, the nucleus is the center of every cell, like a brain --"
Yugi stared boredly ahead, glancing to a nearby desk, his heart saddened again, weighing down in his chest like an anchor. Jou's desk was empty for the third day in a row.
'Jou...where are you? I miss you...'
He kept wishing for a sort of fairy tale ending, that he would suddenly meet up with Jou on the streets; Yugi would fall to his knees, crying, sobbing the words he so longed to tell Jou now. Jou would then fall as well, forgive him, and they would embrace...
Yugi shook his head. He knew better. For all he knew, Jou could have found someone better...and if that was so...Yugi didn't even want to think about it. Sighing heavily, he pushed his against the paper and began jotting down his notes.
Cutting through the air like a knife, the bell rang. The rustling of movement hung in the air, and Yugi stood, packing his book-bag. The snow fell lazily into his hair, his breath-mist wafted around him gently. Hesitating at a corner, he turned, heading the opposite of his route, instead turning to...
'Why am I taking...Jou's route?'
==========================================
Darkness...it was early morning. At least he thought it was. Jou squinted his eyes eyes as they adjusted, then, pulling himself up slowly, scanned the room.
'I'm in...my room...?'
The bed creaked as he pushed himself off, and he walked slowy down the stairs, peering into the living room.
There was a loud clash, and a thunk of glass.
'No...'
His father stood, his face glazed a bit from the alcohol.
"T-tousan..." Jou stumbled over the words, trying to remain calm. "I-- I--"
"You're home..." he slurred. "I thought I told you not to come back."
"Yeah...I know, and--"
Jou gasped as the thick fingers of his father wrapped around his collar; he was lifted into the air.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME BACK! DO YOU THINK I WANT A DUMB FUCK LIKE YOU HERE?!"
'Not again... please, Kami-sama, I'm begging you...'
In a swift motion of his arm Jou collided with the wall; pain coursing through his back, he cried out. He was numb from the cold air in his house, and he found it harder to move.
"WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE?!" his father cried, echoing in the empty halls. "DO I HAVE TO TKILL YOU?!"
"Tousan!" Jou gasped. Tears welled up in his eyes, and fell. He was so weak, like a small child...
=====================================
Birds chirped suddenly off the house's roof. Yugi wheeled to face it, hearing shouting inside, his eyes widened.
"It...it couldn't be..." he whispered. A cry of sincere pain pierced the air, making Yugi wince.
And yet, in the one moment, the reason of Jou's suffering dawned upon Yugi like a shockwave.
======================================
Jou's usually blonde hair was sopped in blood, unrecognizable, and his face displayed several cuts. Apparently done, his father dropped him violently. Jou could barely keep his eyes open. Struggling, he tried to pull himself up.
"Stop moving!" shouted his father, kicking him hard in the ribs. Jou released a choke before slumping to the ground again. A faint siren bagan ringing in his ear, one Jou vaguely remembered but couldn't put his finger on the name...
"Kuso!" There was a clatter of glass, cursing, and crunching of snow outside, not to mention the door slamming open nearby.
Jou couldn't lift his head, he was too tired...
"Freeze!" A pause, the shuffling of feet near the broken window. "He's escaped!"
"Jou!" another voice cried, one Jou knew all too well. He was taken firmly into their arms, and their warm breath spread on his pale face. Shifting his gaze, he tried to catch a glimpse of their face. All he saw was a hue of violet before everything went dark...
