Chapter 16.
Punishment.
Tala looked at the red and white pills in his hand.
/Swallow them and no more pain. /
But was that what he really wanted? Emotions were things that kept people humane, right? So if everybody escaped them, would that not make them monsters?
'He's never coming back.'
Tala turned around and stared at Max. He seemed to remember locking the door so how on earth had the blond gotten in unless…
'What are you talking about?'
'Don't lie to yourself idiot, you know that Kai will never love you again.'
'WHAT? What the hell are you doing here anyway? Get out!'
Max smiled and came closer, completely ignoring the order.
'Don't you see? Everything works out for normal people like me and Tyson. We are normal unlike you. You're dirty, fallen, call it whatever you want but you know what you are.'
'Don't look so shocked; after all, you are gay.'
'What does that have to do with anything?'
Max laughed as Tala backed up against the wall. He saw the oils that the red head had dropped.
'Committing suicide already? Haha, pathetic.'
'What are you talking about?'
'Kai, Rei and you, you are all homosexual. That is sooo against the church and God. And you know he sees all. This is his punishment for your sins.'
'N…no!'
'Yes little black sheep. You have strayed far from those who can help you and now you will pay the price of being a fag!'
Tala didn't realise what was happening until it was to late. Max had grabbed the pills and after pushing the Russian to the floor, had started stuffing every pill down his throat. Tala tried to resist but all his physical strength was gone. He tried to cry for help but he knew that he was gone when the first pill pushed through, down his gullet and into his stomach.
'Morning class, today we have a new student. He came here all the way from Siberia so please welcome him because he is so far from home. His name is Tala.'
The small red haired boy looked around at his new classmates.
'You can sit over there by Tyson, he's the boy by the window in the far end.'
As Tala passed by the children he looked at them. Most smiled, especially the boy at the front desk with long black hair and bright amber eyes. But out of the forty-five students only one really caught his attention; a boy sitting in the far end of the room. He had Grey/Blue hair that hung in a messed form and he was dressed completely in black. His eyes were cherry red, contrasting with his white skin and dull shade of hair. Only later did he learn that the boys name was Kai Hiwatari. From the moment that he first saw him, Tala knew that he was in love with the solemn boy.
He was about ten then. How was he to know that licking a boy was wrong, not that he would care anyway.
Too young to know about the pain, too young to care.
But he was in love, for six years and for his pure dedication to that one feeling he would be punished, was punished.
Did he care?
No.
/Love you…/
