When they Apologise!
Subaru Sakamaki
It had been two months since you left the Sakamaki estate, almost three months as you thought about it, though in that time you didn't attend school, and had managed to find a place to stay so you weren't sleeping on the streets. Except there had been one single draw back in where you were staying, it was an abandoned building as faraway from the Sakamaki residence as you could get, and you hardly ate anything due to not having much money; which meant you had to be careful what you brought to eat, just so you could survive long enough to find a way to leave the city, and find a family member that would take you in. Though you had a feeling you wouldn't find one, as you feared that your Mother/Father would have informed their respective families, to just simply turn you away to prevent you from actually being near your family, and you hated it as you punched at the metal like slate that you used as your bed. Splitting your knuckles open once again, you gritted your teeth as you ripped the t-shirt you were wearing, so you could make a pathetic excuse for a make-shift bandage, and wrap it around your hand before shuddering from the icy wind that blew through the abandoned building you were staying in. The area had been thankfully peaceful, no one around or nearby to annoy you, only about two street lamps could be seen in the far distance either side, and a beautiful star lit sky above you as you released a heavy sigh just as the sound of your stomach grumbling echoed into the night skies. Grumbling to yourself, you reminded yourself that it had been almost four days since you last ate anything, meaning you would have to go find a small nearby store, and buy yourself something to eat with what little money you had on you. Releasing a shuddering breath as you dragged yourself to stand up, you stretched your bruised and scraped body out, before grabbing for your small thin summer jacket, and grabbed for the last of your money before leaving the abandoned building; however just as you did you snapped your head to the left, before glancing around when you felt like you were being watched, and causing you to shudder before yelping out a startled scream as a bat flew past you.
Clutching at your chest, you could feel your heart beating extremely fast, as you attempted to control your breathing from the sudden startle of a bat appearing out of nowhere, and began walking carefully along the uprooted and littered in slag* flooring. Deciding to just ignore the fact that in the past almost three months, you had never seen anything in the area, human, Vampire or bird let alone a bat, and just simply shrugged it off as maybe being lost as you continued to walk. Though as you walked upon the unsteady ground, you tripped over something causing you to yelp out a startled cry, as you slammed into the floor, and ripping your flesh upon your palms and knees open as you winced slightly in pain; which caused you to grit your teeth while clenching your fist, as you slammed it into the floor only to mentally face palm when you realised you just possibly broke your knuckle or at least two fingers, and that you would now have to seek out medical advise and help. Groaning as you dragged yourself to stand up, you continued to stumble and weakly walk along the unsteady path, just as you saw the tell tale signs of the small store you used to get food from, and headed over to the doors as quickly as you could only to narrow your eyes when you noticed it was actually closed. Growling lowly to yourself at your stupidity of not realising that the store closed at midnight, you kicked at the stone wall of the shop, before turning on your heel as you headed back to your little shelter, and cursing under your breath as several water droplets hit your partially covered flesh. Glancing your (e/c) eyes up into the skies you hissed as you felt several drops of rain splash against your face, before the heavens opened up into a heavy downpour, and causing you to scream into the skies as you attempted to run back to the abandoned building before you got to soaked through; which would be terribly bad for you, as you only had a couple changes of clothing left that was in any decent condition to be worn, simply because the rest of your clothes where either filthy with blood or dirt, ripped apart to be used as temporary bandaging for when you busted up your knuckles, or ripped apart only to be stuffed into an old dress you had used as a pillow, and your towels you had, had been destroyed as you had used them for covers to try to keep yourself warm at night except even they were now ruined.
Cursing yourself for not having made any friends at school, so you could have at least had a decent roof over your head for a couple of days at a time, you continued to rush back to the abandoned building only to cry out loudly as you slipped upon the upturned and slag covered flooring, and slamming into the ground while bashing your head off of a jagged piece of slag before blacking out. Fear had enveloped your entire body, the last thoughts to run through your head as you fell, had been about how you were going to die alone, and yet no one would even know that you were dead.

Groaning lowly you could hear voices nearby, as you slowly fluttered your eyes open, only to hiss between clenched teeth when you felt a harsh throbbing in your head, as the voices became somewhat clearer, and causing you to glance around only to find you were in what you declared your old room at the Sakamaki residence; which was when it dawned on you whose voice you could hear, as you glanced towards the door,
"He should be lucky I even told him where she was!" Kanatos voice sounded, it was evident he was having another hissy fit, causing you to raise your right hand to your head, when you noticed the bandages around your fingers and arms,
"Kanato, calm down. Subaru had all the right to be told where she was" Reijis voice that time, followed by the sound of something being hit, extremely hard, "Subaru, stop punching holes in the walls"
"Fucking make me!" Subarus voice sounded darkly, before you jumped slightly when the sound of something hitting the wall of your bedroom was heard, "How long did you know Pipsqueak!?" Subaru shouted, before sadistic laughter could be heard,
"About a week, before I told you. But you didn't even deserve to know!" Kanato shouted, as you released a groan while attempting to sit up, only to hiss in pain, "You didn't even bother to go after her! She is meant to be YOUR fiancée! And I was the one to find her, and even that was by accident!" You heard Kanato shouting, causing you to grip at your head,
"Would you two shut up, (F/N) Is meant to be sleeping" Reijis voice again, as you shuddered, "I would avoid seeing her for a few days, I highly doubt she will want to see you anyway, and considering the condition she was in you should be thankful I was even able to keep her alive" You heard Reiji explain, while gritting your teeth as you glanced around your room.
Then suddenly everything went quiet, as you released a sigh of relief before noticing that sitting upon the bedside table had been a glass of water, along with a foil packet you could tell were pain killers, and strangely enough a single white rose that had red droplets upon the normally pure white petals. Weakly shaking your head, you stared up at the ceiling before slowly closing your eyes, only to snap them open when you heard the sound of your bedroom door opening, and causing you to glance towards it to see Reiji carrying a bowl as his strange reddish coloured eyes locked with your (e/c) eyes,
"Seems you have finally woken up" Reiji stated, though you could hear the disgust within his voice, as he closed the door before walking over to your bedside table, "You have been out cold for about two weeks, you should be thankful you are even still alive"
"W-Why am I even still alive?" You questioned, as you watched Reiji pull a white cloth out of the bowl before wringing it out, as he set it on the bedside table,
"One of Kanatos familiars found you half dead, about a three hour drive from here. When it returned, it informed Kanato that it had found you laying almost lifeless, and he informed us all that his Familiar had found you" Reiji explained, before strangely and tenderly raising your left arm, as he began unfastening the bandaging, "Kanato has admitted to knowing where you were, for about a week before telling us, and that you had been fine when his familiar had first found you"
"Oh... I wondered why I felt like I was being watched" You replied before gritting your teeth as you glanced to your arm, just as Reiji carefully examined your knuckles,
"You should be thankful nothing is broken, we even banned Subaru from entering your room, though something tells me he has ignored me once again" Reiji stated in annoyance while glancing at the white rose, "Now why did you leave anyway? You are meant to be his Fiancée"
"Hmph" You huffed, before glancing away from Reiji, "Why would I want to marry a cheating, Vampire scum bag?" You questioned, as you felt hesitant fingers against your right wrist,
"I see" Was all Reiji stated, while unfastening the bandages around your right arm, causing you to hiss through gritted teeth in pain, "It would hurt, you dislodged the bones in your fingers, you must have hit something rather hard to do that" Reiji explained before sighing as he carefully washed over your knuckles and fingers, revealing several stiches,
"Blame him" You stated lowly, before glancing up at the ceiling, "But you never answered my question, why am I even still alive?"
"Because you are" Reiji replied before narrowing his eyes, "Were you deliberately trying to kill yourself out there?"
"So what if I was, it isn't like I would have been missed" You stated coldly, before wincing as Reiji shifted you to sit up, "Ow that hurt!"
"It would, you had cracked your head open, leaving you with a nasty mark" Reiji explained, before soaking the white cloth once again, while slowly unfastening the bandages around your head, and causing you to grit your teeth as you noticed the slightly stained in blood fabric falling away from your head, "You should be able to keep this uncovered now, but I wouldn't move around to much until you can sit yourself up without someone helping you"
"Fine, I am guessing they are painkillers?" You questioned while indicating to the foil packet upon your bedside table,
"Yes they are, they should help with the throbbing you will be experiencing" Reiji explained as he carefully swiped the cloth over your head, "Dark bruising, but that is all. You should try to get some more rest, I will bring you up some soup in an hour as I can already tell you have hardly eaten" Reiji stated a little coldly, causing you to scoff, "For the next two weeks you will be on a strict diet of three bowls of soup a day, before you get any solid food"
"Fine, can you leave now?" You questioned, causing Reiji to sigh in irritation, while gathering up the used bandages,
"As you wish, however, Subaru will most likely try to come and talk to you. Please do try to not make him angry, we have already had to fork out to fix 36 walls in this house already, as well as 20 doors, and 30 units, including getting his own room renovated 15 times" Reiji explained coldly, before walking towards the door,
"Fine... I would rather not have to see him" You stated simply before shifting as you leaned back against your head bored, before reaching for the foil packet and popping two painkillers out,
"That I cannot help with. You are his Fiancée, you have to deal with it I am afraid" Reiji stated before leaving your room.
Scoffing as the door closed, you quickly took the two painkillers, before sighing heavily while rubbing at your head carefully, and wincing when your fingers traced over what you guessed was the bruising and gash to your head. Closing your eyes to try and get some extra sleep while sitting in a slouched position, you could hear movement from outside of your bedroom door of the other brothers walking past, before you heard a females voice talking followed by the sound of the wall beside your door being punched, and the females voice to gasp before footsteps ran along the hallway. You couldn't quite tell what had been said, due to the pounding within your head as you parted your lips, releasing a heavy pained sigh while keeping your eyes closed, and slowly felt darkness envelope you within a strangely calming and warm embrace. Sighing softly you allowed the embrace to cradle you seemingly lovingly, causing you to feel as if you would be in the world of dreams within seconds, and then the feeling vanished when you felt fingers caressing through your (h/L) (h/c) locks; which caused you to gulp as you slowly opened your eyes, to see pinkish tinted white locks of hair followed by bright red eyes, and causing you to narrow your eyes while attempting to shove Subaru away. Only to wince with a hiss between clenched teeth, causing Subaru to growl down at you as he held your head to his chest, though as you glared up at him you could see a pink colour dusting his cheeks,
"Get off of me" You stated coldly, causing Subaru to grip at your side a little harder, "OW! That hurt asshole!"
"Good, now shut up" Subaru hissed down at you, though the pink dusting his cheeks, never failed to leave his face as he sighed in irritation, "We need to talk, and I am not leaving, nor am I letting you go till you listen to me" He added in a strangely softer tone,
"Just talk and leave already" You stated before raising a hand to your head, only to have it smacked away as you narrowed your eyes before groaning in pain,
"Shut up already" Subaru hissed at you, before gently stroking your head in an attempt to sooth the pain, "Why did you leave?"
"Why do you think, Idiot!" You hissed at Subaru, before shuddering in pain as you tried to move away from the youngest Sakamaki brother,
"Because I am a filthy monster? Because I destroy everything I touch!?" Subaru shouted at you, before harshly pinning you to the bed, after making sure not to bash your head again in case it killed you, "ANSWER ME!"
"Don't shout" You whimpered lowly, staring up at Subaru while gazing into his narrowed red coloured eyes, "My head hurts"
"Whose fault is that! Now answer my question!" He shouted again, causing you to flinch slightly, before squeezing your eyes shut in pain,
"You aren't... you aren't a monster" You gritted out, while raising your hands to grip at Subarus forearms, "And... you do destroy shit" You stated, gritting your teeth when you felt Subaru grab harshly at your shoulders, "You punch shit, that destroys it"
"Don't lie to me!" Subaru shouted, though you could tell from his tone of voice he didn't know how to react to your words, "Thats why you left isn't it! Because I am a monster, because I am filthy and polluted!"
"NO!" You shouted, before gritting your teeth in pain at your own voice, "You aren't... Subaru... please let me go"
"NO! Answer my bloody questions!" Subaru shouted, as you vaguely heard footsteps rushing down the hallway, before your bedroom knocked as you heard Yuis voice,
"(F/N) are you okay!?" She shouted out to you, causing you to grit you teeth while gripping at Subarus forearms, "(F/N)!?"
"FUCK OFF!" You heard Subaru shout, before you felt him release your shoulders, before seeing him storm over to your bedroom door and yank it open,
"S-Subaru-Kun..." Yui stuttered out, causing you to grit your teeth as you slowly dragged yourself to sit up slightly, "You were told you weren't allowed to see (F/N) till she was better"
"I don't fucking listen to you!" Subaru shouted as he punched your door frame causing Yui to flinch before yelping as she stumbled back, "Now get lost!"
"I can't S-Subaru-Kun... I have to tell you to leave (F/N)'s room on Reijis orders, so please leave" Yui stated as you gritted your teeth before clutching at a pillow, as you forced up as much strength as possible and launched the pillow directly into the back of Subarus head, and causing Yui to gulp while glancing around Subaru when she saw the youngest Sakamaki brother jolt slightly forward, "(F/N)? Do you want Subaru to leave?"
"GET LOST!" You shouted, clutching at your head, "S-Subaru... just punch her... and shut the fucking door!" you stated, gripping at your hair while squeezing your eyes shut.
Hearing the sound of Yui yelping just as your bedroom door slammed shut, you felt your pillow smack you in the side as you jumped while snapping your eyes open only to see Subaru walking towards you from the corner of your eyes, and causing you to gulp lowly as you caught sight of Subaru removing his boots before climbing back up onto your bed. Parting your lips to question what Subaru was doing, you released a pained yelp as you were yanked back down onto your bed, before hearing Subaru gritting his teeth while wrapping his arms around your waist, and causing you to stiffen in fear of what the youngest Vampire Brother was going to do; however, before you could question Subaru, you felt rose petal soft lips press against your neck, before trailing down to your shoulder, and causing you to gasp lowly while squeezing your eyes closed,
"Tsk" You heard the sound slip from Subarus lips, before gasping as you felt a heavy weight upon you, and causing you to snap your eyes open to stare up at Subaru staring down at you, "You still never answered my question, (F/N)"
"S-Subaru" You began before sighing heavily while weakly shaking your head, as you glanced up into Subarus bright red eyes while raising your hands to cup at his soft feeling cheeks, "You aren't filthy... nor are you polluted or a monster"
"Then why did you leave!?" Subaru shouted, gripping at the sheets beneath your body, while staring at you with his fangs showing, "WHY?"
"F-Fangs..." You stuttered out, staring wide eyed up at Subaru as he blinked, "Y-You... r-really are aren't you... a Vampire?" You asked, now seeing his fangs up close, and causing you to fear what else Subaru could possibly do if angry,
"Yes... you left because of that!?" Subaru asked coldly, staring down at you, as you bit your lip nodding, "YOU IDIOT!"
"YOU NEVER TOLD ME!" You shouted, causing Subaru to blink before shaking his head, while pulling you carefully to sit up, and holding you close to his chest while gritting his teeth,
"I thought you knew" He whispered lowly, tightening his hold around your waist, "I thought you figured it out, when I wouldn't come near you, or always gritted my teeth when you busted your knuckles open"
"I didn't... I just thought you hated the sight of blood" You whispered, clutching at Subarus top, before wincing in pain as you felt Subaru release you only to grab for your right hand,
"S-Sorry" Subaru whispered lowly, as he lightly nuzzled your hand, before kissing it gently, as a deep crimson dusted his cheeks, "Don't leave me again... (F/N)" Subaru whispered squeezing his eyes shut before gritting his teeth,
"Subaru..." You whispered lowly, before stroking the youngest Sakamaki brothers head, while carefully brushing strands of his hair out of his face, "I forgive you"
"This doesn't mean I like you" Subaru stated coldly, before shoving you away, as he vanished with his blush darkening upon his cheeks.
Laying there, staring wide eyed up at the space Subaru had just been, caused you to gulp before glancing around, and curling up on your side with a wince of pain. Facing your bedside table with your back to the door, you replayed what Subaru had just said, including the low whispered sorry he had spoken, knowing that if you ever brought that up to him he would out right deny ever saying it, and causing you to sigh heavily before your (e/c) eyes landed upon the white rose sitting on the side. Blinking several times, you weakly reached for it as you noticed the red droplets on it had been blood, causing you to bite your bottom lip before holding the rose to your chest, and closing your eyes while sighing heavily as the Abyss of darkness took a hold of you; which caused you to feel slightly heavy, while slowly relaxing into your bed, and passing out into the world of dreams. Unknowing of the red eyes watching you from the corner of you room, as another white rose was placed upon your bedside table, with a piece of folded paper, and then your room was empty leaving only you sleeping on your side.
