Chapter 2- Welcome to Hell

Haru stepped out into the darkness of the night. Most of the street lights cast small pools of light around him. He stiffened and wrapped his coat around him. The wind was bitter cold. The light too abrasive. It made him want to avoid those harsh circles. It probably wasn't for the best. But who'd dare try to get near him. The sorry mortal would feel it when they awoke in the morning.

He knew exactly where he was going. Lately, he hadn't been getting lost as much. It made him feel a lot better. Knox also made him feel better. With that in mind, he quickened his pace. Ten minutes later he was in the bar. The warmth of the place enveloped him. He smiled, a small and almost unnoticeable smile.

"Haru!" A voice shouted at him enthusiastically.

He turned to find Manson nodding for him to come over. Knowing he would know where Knox was, he obeyed the soft command. Within moments they were in the backroom. Glancing around he still saw no sign of his lover.

"Knox'll be here," Manson said quickly knowing Haru was unhappy that Knox wasn't there yet, "He's busy at the moment. Loose ends to tie up."

"Next time he should wait. I like going with him," Haru told Manson in his usual flat monotone voice.

Manson shrugged and left Haru to wait alone. Haru didn't mind. He decided to take a seat on the long shabby black couch. Several moments went by and Haru started to get impatient. In the past he'd never minded waiting. He would wait for hours to see Yuki, or someone else, if he had too. But those days were long gone. Just thinking of them sent a small shudder through his spine. They'd all ripped out his heart. One particular memory floated into his mind.

Flashback

Haru sitting alone in his room. His room a total mess. Lacerations carved into the skin, mutilated with insane care, and at the very same time, no care at all. He was doing it again and he didn't care. No one else cared why should he. He slid the knife into his other arm, moaning hoarsely as it ripped into his skin. It wasn't deep enough to kill him. But it was deep enough so that the only thing he could feel was the physical pain. Physical pain was so much better than the bitter pain of his heart, his emotions. It was the only other way.

No one loved him. No one cared. Everyone had turned against him, or rejected him in some way or other. It all hurt too much. Years and years of emotional abuse manifested bruises and long painful cuts onto his body. Of course all put there by him.

A knock at the door pulled him out of his grim thoughts. He hurried to put away the razor and cover his bloody arms.

End Flashback

A tall black haired boy of about nineteen wrapped his arms around him. Pulled from his morbid reminiscence Haru fiercely return the embrace.

"Why do you always have think about those things?" Knox asked worry weaved into his beautiful English accent. He took the seat next to Haru. Worry, another private emotion held only for him. Love of course being the first.

Haru nuzzled into the older boy's side. "I can't help it." He spotted a large red stain on the edge of his coat. "You're a bit bloody"

Knox smiled as Haru leaned up to look into his eyes all the coldness usually prescribe to others was never evident near him. Haru took in all the wonderful sights of his lover. Knox's dark brown eyes that seem almost black in nature. His smudgy black eyeliner that went all the way around his eyes. His shaggy green-black hair. His light creamy complexion. All of him Haru loved.

He looked at the reddened fabric of Knox's long black trench coat with a small frown. He scanned his loves coat and clothes only to find more splatters of crimson.

"You should clean up," he said, "what if someone saw you looking like that."

"I will. I was just worried about leaving you all alone for so long," Knox said quickly moving from the couch, "I know what you do when you're left alone. You were just doing it. I know its hard but don't dwell in the past. I love you. Isn't that all that matters?"

"Of course," Haru said quickly, "its just its hard to forget. I'm mean I see them all everyday."

"Live with me," Knox said pushing the issue once again. He turned to Haru after he took off his robe and sighed, "I should probably burn this, now. Its too covered. Got to get a new one."

Haru grumbled, "don't blurt that out then pretend you didn't say it." Knox tilted his head and wait for Haru to go on. "You know why I can't."

"Refresh my mind," Knox said with a wry smile.

"Because I need to go to school. If I never went back to Sohma house and still went to school they'd... Akito would go suspicious," Haru explained once again.

"Akito," Knox said with rolled eyes having obviously never met the head of the Sohmas. "Large bark, little bites."

Haru nodded in agreement. "But I still can't."

Knox only shook his head in disappointment signaling the close of the argument.

End of chapter 2

Well, a bit weird right? It'll get better. Longer chapters too. This only just the intro chapter. As opposed to the prologue XD
