Athrun growled softly as he darted down the path in search of his best friend. He had been halfway through the park when he heard a distant cry. What had exactly been cried out, he didn't know, his hearing, even as a Co'ord, wasn't that good. But…the voice…He would be able to recognize it in a crowd of screaming fans…
Kira!
Skidding to a stop he glanced around before hurrying in the direction of the cry. "Why? Where…are you?" he murmured under his breath…
Kira looked to the sky, tears sliding painfully down his face. "Kira…Yamato…" Athrun said through clenched teeth. He knew it wouldn't be right to just up and yell at the male, Kira wasn't stable enough to deal with that. Folding in his anger, he took a deep breath.
"Why-" Athrun cut himself off starring over his shoulder at Kira's scars. "…You…What're those Kira?" Please…tell me…he didn't cut…himself…
"There…Old…" he said softly, standing up and facing him now. "…I…haven't done it in a year…if…that's what you wanted to know," his voice was low and emotionless, but tears still spilled slowly out of his eyes.
"Kira…" he could say no more. Hidden pain finally showed itself. "Kira…my Kira…Why…!" he lifted the brunette until he was standing up straight. Then enveloped Kira into his arms, the thought of him inflicting pain upon his body caused Athrun to curse himself, he hadn't been there…he wasn't there to assure him that it would be all right. Athrun mentally hit himself, but he couldn't apologize now…it wouldn't change anything…
Kira buried himself into his chest, whimpering. "It happened…just after you left…I…my aunt…and uncle were fighting a lot…" Kira started slowly, as if playing the memories over in his mind. Trembling now.
"He started getting drunk…"
FLASHBACK
The scent of alcohol lingered in the tense air, strong enough to make anyone gag. Even for a certain male who was huddled with his knees to his chest, hiding in the empty bathtub in the bathroom. Sobbing softly.
"You bastard…get the hell out here!" a slurred voice boomed, large fists pounded against the locked door. Kira's eyes widened hugging himself tighter. Don't…don't let him…please! "You wanna play it that way, coward? You forgot…I've got the key!" the drunken man identified as Kira's uncle laughed loudly.
Someone…Something…! Please! Help me! He mentally screamed, as the door burst open. "You pathetic punk! Even since you came around, nothings had been the same…! We only took you in cause we felt sorry for you! Noone likes you…so why don't you just die!"
"No!" Kira yelled shaking his head uncontrollably. "Your wrong! Yzak…Dearka…" before he could say anymore, the older man answered. "They feel sorry for you!"
"There my friends!"
"They are not…do you know what they really think of you? They just want you to feel good, then they're going to up and leave you…just like…Athrun!" he yelled.
END OF FLASHBACK
As Kira explained this; he'd broken down into deeper cries. "I…I believed him…I thought it would…be better if I died…I was just a burden to everyone…" he finally admitted, as Athrun ran a hand through his hair slowly.
"Kira…we love you…you would've killed us all if you…left us…"
"I don't know what to believe anymore," he murmured shaking his head to rid of the tears. "I…I just want to be alone…okay?" This was the last thing Athrun wanted Kira to do, but nodded anymore. He was in more pain then Athrun expected. He had always seemed okay when they would talk on the phone, he sounded as normal as ever…
The younger male pressed a kiss against Kira's forehead. Which caused him to blink and blush.
Neither of them knew it…but they were being watched…
