Chapter 2-Hurtless

disclaimer: Do Not Owe Loveless

notes: none for now. Here it is...

Ritsuka sighed as he looked at the time, he knew that he had to be at Soubi's place in like a few hours. He was waiting for him there, he hadn't told his mother about moving out the other night since he was too scared how his mother was going to react. Somehow, he just had to do it no matter what.

He stood up and walked down the stairs gulping as he saw his mother in the kitchen, cooking lunch for him. "Mother?" Ritsuka asked quietly as his mother stopped what she was doing, "you won't like what I'm going to go and say mother. But I've decided to move out of the house and I found an apartment to stay. I'm going there right now," Ritsuka said slowly as he waited for his mother to respond.

His mother turned around as Ritsuka was trembling already as he saw the look on his mother's face, "come here Ritsuka," his mother said sternly as Ritsuka obeyed knowing that his mother might hurt him at that moment. Suddenly, without preparation, his mother grabbed Ritsuka's arm firmly as she held it tight as she held a knife in her other hand.

Ritsuka was so frightened that he began to struggle out of his mother's grasp, "please, mother!" He begged but his mother didn't heard him as she began cutting Ritsuka's arm and his other arm with the knife little by little. Ritsuka began to sob as his mother had left at least ten cuts on him; five on his right and five on his left arm.

Both of his arms were now bleeding as Ritsuka went upstairs to his room, he couldn't stopped crying as he stared at the mirror to look at himself. He couldn't face Soubi now, after what his mother had done to him. He opened the drawer on his desk as he got bandages to put on the cuts so that nobody could see.

It was pointless to avoid it from Soubi, he just had to tell him what happened. He winced slightly as he put the bandage on one of the cuts, it hurt so badly as he didn't finished putting the bandages twenty minutes later. He layed down on his bed as he began reading his comic books, he wanted to wait for awhile for his mother to cool off so he could sneak out off his room with suitcase at hand.

But his eyes began to drift as he slept soundly on his bed with the comic book under his arms. The next thing he knew, he was being shaking by someone so gently as he opened his eyes as he yawned to see who it was. "Soubi!" Ritsuka cried surprised as Soubi smiled at him, "you didn't came so I decided to see what's up," he replied as Ritsuka checked the time and it read six o'clock.

"I slept six hours?" Ritsuka asked shocked as Soubi laughed, "you must been really tired from yesterday," he said as Ritsuka frowned. "Come Ritsuka, we should get out off here before your mother gets back home," he said quietly as Ritsuka looked at him, "she's not home?" He asked as Soubi shook his head.

"I saw her leave awhile ago and I didn't want to wake you but I know we have to get away from here as soon as we can," he said as he waited for Ritsuka to stand up. "Is something wrong?" Soubi asked worriedly as Ritsuka shook his head and stood up as he went towards the window, "don't you want your comic book before we go?" Soubi asked quietly.

"No. I already read that one a million times," Ritsuka replied as Soubi grabbed his arm. Ritsuka hissed as he pushed Soubi's hand out of his arm, "Ritsuka, are you hurt somewhere?" Soubi asked worriedly knowing that he didn't even squeezed Ritsuka that hard nor he had meant to.

Before Ritsuka could act, he began to cry, uncontrollably as Soubi dropped the suitcase on the floor as he went towards his lover to hug him comfortably as he could without hurting him. "Ritsuka, what's wrong?" He asked again gently as Ritsuka wiped his eyes, "I told my mother awhile ago that I was moving later, she grabbed me and before I knew it, she was cutting my arms with a knife," he explained.

Soubi's eyes widened as Ritsuka let go off Soubi as he was in front of him as he pulled up his sleeves to show Soubi the bandages on his arms. "Ritsuka, your mother did this?" Soubi asked as Ritsuka nodded slowly, "I'm so sorry Ritsuka. I wasn't here to protect you," Soubi said as he hugged him tightly.

Ritsuka looked at him, "it's over now Soubi. I thought I should at least told you what happened," he said as Soubi didn't say anything. Ritsuka sighed as the two stayed the way there were for a few minutes before Ritsuka spoke, "we should get going Soubi. My mother might be here and we don't want any trouble, do we?" He asked as Soubi let go off Ritsuka and he took the suitcase.

"I almost forgot. Yuiko and Yayoi is coming back in two days, I'm going to call her back letting her know we should meet them at the park then. Is that ok?" Ritsuka asked as Soubi nodded. Ritsuka smiled as he held onto Soubi's hand, "I'm going to be ok Soubi. Now that I'm living with you," he said as Soubi didn't say anything as the two left the house and began walking to Soubi's apartment.

Ritsuka smiled to himself as the two man didn't say anything to each other, finally, I'll be living with Soubi now. I wonder if his going to ask me to marry him? He thought blushing as he thought about yesterday's conversation. Ritsuka shook his head quickly as Soubi lookedat him, "is something wrong?" He asked.

"Huh? Oh no! Just thinking about something," Ritsuka said quietly as Soubi nodded and the two man continued there walk quietly as they knew that living with each other might be uneasy for both of them.
