Chapter Four
…One And A Half Years Later…
Tatsuha POV
The darkness descended quickly
Once the news came
The fear and shock griped me
At what had come from a simple game
It was fall, the season I had always hated for some reason and now, I knew why.
I was standing at the door to Sugu-chan's house, but I couldn't will myself to go in. It was weird, usually I'd be sneaking in or bursting in happily, sprouting off a sad poem, but, I guess, not today. Today, darkness had finally descended and now I think I knew why Eiri acts so cold.
But, I couldn't just stand here all day, I knew that, so I knocked, letting my arm fall back down once the task was completed.
The door opened and I looked up into Miss D.A.'s solemn face. I couldn't even think of a smart-ass comment. This really had effected us greatly.
"Tatsuha…" She started in her usual cold voice and then it became soft. "Be…gentle."
I nodded and began towards his room, my footsteps the only sound in this great mansion. That saddened me even more. The Cryn Mansion was usually bursting with life, but now, it lay dead.
All because of him…
He had taken him
Mind, body, and soul
Taken him
Only wanting him to be sold
My fists clenched and I felt as angry as I had when that fat idiot had picked on my Sugu-chan. Maybe even angrier.
How could that idiot do that to him, to us! He'd been family! This wasn't the way you were supposed to treat family. By doing that! That bastard, he'd freaking raped his own nephew! He'd raped my Sugu-chan!
I clenched my eyes shut, holding back tears and chocking back sobs. "Sugu-chan…"
I hadn't been there then
To help him through that time
And now I deeply regretted
Would he possibly die!
I should have been there, I should of! But, I had stupid soccer practice, dang it! I should of skipped, I had the feeling! I knew something was going to happen, but Sugu-chan said no. I respected his wishes, but…
Oh, god! What if he…he died!
Another chocked sob escaped me.
I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that happened! I just wouldn't!
So, without a second though, I opened the door to his room, the sight I saw next causing me to freeze.
Sugu-chan…
He was lying in his bed, sideways, covers pulled up to his chin, but the damage was still visible. A slightly red gauze wrapped its way around his head. Hair stuck up at places because of this, a thing I usually would of found funny. A bruise was on his cheek and on the visible parts of his neck, I saw the imprints of fingers, where that bastard had most likely gripped him.
"Tats-kun?"
I gasped and my eyes locked with Sugu-chan's droopy ones. I nodded, not really knowing why I didn't say anything. I just couldn't, really.
"Tats-kun!" He cried out, voice cracking slightly. His eyes were half-lidded, full of unshed tears and I couldn't looking anymore. "I knew you'd come!" Sugu-chan stated and the rustle of fabric reached my ears.
"No." I said, pushing my friend back down, keeping the cover tucked tightly around him. "You need to rest." I ordered softly as I took a seat on the ground.
"But…What about yo- I mean piano lessons." Sugu-chan muttered, eyes flying off to focus nervously on an Anime poster.
I chuckled. "I'll be fine, but you're not. 'Sides, I doubt you'd be able to make it out of your room, let along Se-sensei's. Just rest, 'kay?"
Sugu-chan pouted. "But why?" Though, nonetheless, he lay back down.
"'Cause, I said so." I stated, smirking slightly.
Sugu-chan stuck out his tongue and I smiled slightly.
It took only a moment
And I rushed to his side
Watched over him
As we both cried
He closed his eyes and I stayed silent, not know what else to do and not wanting to do anything except sit there. I stayed like that for a while longer, hand on his shoulder, until finally I lay my head by his, facing the wall.
"Tats-kun?" I heard Sugu-chan say.
"Hmm?"
"…Nothing…" He muttered and I felt the bed shift as he shifted.
"You know I love you, right?" I asked softly.
"Yeah…"
A hand went to my hair and I looked up to see Sugu-chan smiling sadly. Tears were falling gently of his cheeks, landing on my own face. I reached a hand to wipe them away and felt more tears than expected. I had been crying as well…
"Tats-kun?" He asked again, gaining a bit more courage in his fore lone eyes.
I stayed silent, only leaning up slightly to place a light kiss, half on the cheek, half on his lips, like I wanted. "Nothing's ever gonna be the same again, huh?" I asked, stating the question I knew was running through his mind.
Sugu-chan only lowered his head, returned the kiss; half cheek, half lips, and shook his head.
And…we both cried…
To Be Continued…
AN - You guys are probably gonna hate me….I got Sugu raped…stupid, stupid me! But seriously, I have a weird obsession with having the main characters raped by someone, I dunno why! Seriously! Don't hurt me! Pwease!
