This is a fan fic so I only own the plot
With all my Heart- stage 2 Heartbeat
Stage 1 was Heartbreak
It had been 4 days since Mashiro and Sou had fought no it wasn't a fight, Mashiro had been the one fighting while Sou had just stood there looking bewildered and hurt.
Mashiro had spent every night going through the scenario wondering why Sou had just stood there rather than fight back. Mashiro had heard through gossip how Sou had stood his ground and gave as good as he got when he had fights with his pervious girlfriends yet Sou hadn't raised his voice to Mashiro not even once during the entire episode.So what had changed?
Mashiro could feel the tears begin to flow so he buried his head in his pillow to try and hide them from the world. Once his pillow was thoroughly soaked he turned his head to the widow and looked at the bright white moon casting light in to his room, but the moon was alone in the sky that night. There were no twinkling stars to keep it company. I now exactly how feel though Mashiro as he wrapped his arm around himself, but it was the same there was no safety and security in his own arms and he could the little voice in the back of his head loud and clear. This wasn't the perfect moment he so longer for.
But Mashiro wasn't the only one unable to fall asleep that night
At the other end of the corridor
Sou sighted to him self as he shut the left door of his wardrobe this was all he could do to keep those happy memories alive. He turned to the widow and saw the moon was alone in the sky that night. I know exactly how you feel though Sou to himself.
On the third floor of the dormitory
A smile passed on the lips of the Kendo captain as he had awoken from a most pleasurable dream. He now knew how he was going to make Mashiro his. He also knew that he would no longer be able to sleep so he stared out the window and noticed how alone the moon locked tonight. This made his burst out laughing.
The next day in the kendo club room
Practice was over and Mashiro had deliberately stayed behind by pretending he was thirsty and needed a drink so that he could avoid Sou as every one else left to go back to the dorm. As he began remove the necessary things from his locker he herd someone open the door and turned startled to find the Kendo captain sanding there.
"Did I scare you Ichijo? Sorry I didn't think anyone was still here"
"Well I was really thirsty…." Mashiro found himself unable to continue as the strange atmosphere that seemed to envelop a room when ever he found him self alone with his Sempai
"It's actually good that you're still here, there's something I needed to talk to you about"
"What is it Sempai?" This is too easy though the Kendo captain to himself
"We need to talk about the fact that you are half male and half female"
"Sempai how do you ab…" Mashiro had no chance of finishing his sentence since he found the Sempai lips clamed down on his own and that he had been shoved against his locker in such a way that he could feal the bruises already forming.
"Sempai what are you..." but once again Mashiro found the Sempai lips on his own his tongue tiring to force Mashiro lips to open. I have to get out of here right now Mashiro thought to himself but how? As if on cue Mashiro noticed that his Sempai was breaking the kiss. The moment he felt the pressure on his lips released he put all his weight behind his hands and pushed the older boy away.
Now's my chance if I can get into the corridor I'll be safe, what the, Mashiro knew his wrist had been grabbed as he found that he was being forcibly turned into the dojo and away from the door.
"Did you think I would let you go that easily Ichijo?" asked the older boy his eyes full of malice and lust and his smiling grinning in sadistic pleasure that made Mashiro's blood run cold.
"You're the"
"The Kight? Yes and as you know the Knight always gets what he wants" said the older boy forcing his pry to the ground
"Let go of me" screamed Mashiro
"I don't think so Ichijo. Even since I found out that you were half female I having been lusting after you and now I am going to satisfy my desires with your help" said the Sempai chuckling.
Once again Mashiro found his upperclassman lips forced on his own but he also found that his Sempai was staring to undo the belt that held up pants of his Kendo uniform. Oh God no please no Mashiro screamed inside his head.
The door opened and Mashiro noticed that the great weight that was on top of him, his Sempai had been removed.
"That was a stupid thing to Sou" Sou was here why he had come back?
"Not as stupid at what you were doing brother" brother?
"Hm so we're playing that game now? Well then brother prepare to take responsibility for you actions"
Sempai launched himself at Sou but Sou managed to kick him in the gut with his leg forcing him to the ground but it didn't last as soon the older boy was back on his feet with murder in his eyes and he had soon wrestled Sou to the ground. The older boy raised his fist towards Sou's face and Mashiro knew that he was going to die.
"No" screamed Mashiro knowing that he couldn't let Sou die because he was the reason that Mashiro was able to keep going. Sou and his love for him were what kept Mashiro alive.
The Sempai looked up startled at Mashiro sudden outburst this was when Sou found his opening and threw the older boy off him headfirst. The Sempai's head hit the floor hard causing him to pass out and as delayed shock began to over take him Mashiro was soon unconscious as well.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Mashiro awoke to find his entire body feeling warm except his head which felt cold lifting up his hand he noticed that a cold compress had been placed on his head taking in his surrounding he saw that he was in Sou's room in the dorm. Hearing moment from his left he turned his head and saw was coming out of the bathroom with anther cold compress in his hand.
"Ah your awake, how do you feel?"
The sight of Sou being so kind to him made his heartbeat faster but he then remember how he had treated him and Mashiro burst into tears.
Sou was at his side in seconds sitting him up and holding him tightly in that safe and secure embrace that Mashiro longed for but new he didn't deserve which made his cry even harder. When he finally had a hold of himself he clung to Sou unable to look at him.
"Why did you say brother?" Mashiro felt Sou's arms tighten around him and knew that he had made him feel uncomfortable
"If you don't what to tell me I'll understand Sou"
"No it's okay you would have found out sooner or later. The reason I called him brother is because he technically is my brother or at least my half brother any way"
Mashiro was shocked until he remember that Sou's mother had told him herself that Sou was the product of an affair she'd had and that when her husband had found out he had abused Sou.
"So his father is your father?"
"Yerh, she used to work in his office and his wife work away from home for long periods of time and mum's marriage was going through a rough patch so one thing lead to another"
"So he hates you because you show that his parent's marriage is a fraud?"
"No he hates me because his father threatened to hand over the company he's president on over to me rather than him, his legitimate heir"
"Do you want to take over?"
"No, but it doesn't matter even if I did I can't, since I'm not recognised legally as his son but
Sempai doesn't know that. He thinks I want he believes is rightfully his when I'm really just a
pawn put here by his father to make compete for what he is going to receive what ever happens"
"But you don't want anything to do with him or his father?"
"No, but he doesn't believe me that's why he pushed me off the roof. To remove the competition once and for all"
Mashiro once again found himself brought to tears at Sou's story, he had been used by people who were meant to protect him all his life even Mashiro who protected him and loved him loved him, had betrayed him.
"I'm sorry" said Sou suddenly
"Huh?"
"I should have told you who he was in class, it's just than you respected him so much that I thought that you wouldn't believe me and I wanted to protect you"
Mashiro pulled away from Sou at that point causing Sou to gasp in surprise
"Please stop this Sou, I don't deserve this from you" much to Mashiro surprise Sou pulled him back close to his body
"This isn't about wether you deserve it or not, this is about me trying to fix my mistake, I knew what he was capable of and I still left you with him"
For the first time in four days Mashiro meet the dark eyes of the one he one he loved most in the world and all he could see was pain, pain that he wanted to take away.
Sou was stunned when Mashiro pressed his lips on to his own and he was about to close his eyes when he remember what Mashiro had told him.
Just stay away from me Sou
The dark haired boy pushed the lighter haired boy away from him while still feeling the kiss that had passed between them on his lips
"I don't need sympathy from you Ichijo I can handle this on my own"
"But"
"We should get some sleep, you can take the bed I don't think you should been alone right now"
"What about you?" asked Mashiro who was still coming to terms with Sou's sudden brashness "I have spare futon in my wardrobe I'll use that"
Mashiro found himself unable to fall asleep for the second night in a row he looked at the clock on the bed side table and saw it was well passed midnight. Sou must be cold thought Mashiro I should give him the blanket. Mashiro tip toed to the other end of the room to where Sou was sleeping peacefully on his futon and spread the blanket on him.
"It's been covering me for a few hours so it should be nice and warm" he whispered
"It is thanks" replied Sou opening his eyes
"I thought you were asleep Sou"
"I thought you were"
"I can't"
"Because I'm in the room?'
"No, can't you sleep because I'm here?"
"No that's not it"
They sat in silence sating at the floor for what seemed like an age before Sou sat up and took Mashiro in his arms
"What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have lashed out at you and I know that you told me to stay away but I can't. I love with all my heart so I can't stay away but I can't bear to cause you pain either"
"I'm the one who should be sorry Sou" said Mashiro
"Why?"
"I let you down when you need me the most I shouldn't have been so self involved and I should have seen the pain and suffering in your eyes that day rather than my own jealousy"
"It wasn't jealousy I saw in you eyes when I came to your room it was sadness Mashiro"
Hearing Sou used his first name gave Mashiro the courage to look right into Sou's dark eyes and see the love that was directed only at him
"I have no right to say this to you Sou" said Mashiro with tears staring to roll down his cheeks
"But?" Sou prompted
"I love you with all my heart so I'm feeling pain knowing that I've hurt you and caused you pain and even though I don't deserve you I want you by my side. I'm sorry Sou Mizuhashi can you forgive me?"
"You should know the answer Mashiro" said Sou as he wiped away the tears on Mashiro face while drawing him close
When you meet that someone that you love with all your heart you feel something whenever they embrace you. You feel perfection itself and that is what Mashiro and Sou felt when their arms went around each other and their lips found each other and that feeling of protection continued throughout the night as they slept in each other's arms as the moon and stars shown brightly in the night sky.
The next day
"Sou" said Mashiro as he began to unravel the arms belonging to the dark haired boy beside him in order to sit up
"Hmm?" answered Sou half his face still on the futon
"How come people think you and Kureha are a couple?" This question made Sou rise up from the futon to meet Mashiro's face
"Well you see, it's kind of embarrassing" the dark haired boy replied making the lighter haired boy blush and his light brown eyes go wide with shock
"Ah but not in the way your thinking!" he said quickly
"Fushjishma trip on the stairs I happened to be the one who caught her and we ened up in an embarrassing position"
"Oh" was all Mashiro could say
"You get back to your room before anyone else wakes up do you what me to come with you?"
"No I can look after myself despite what happened yesterday"
"Alright just promise to call me when you get there so I don't coming looking for you" Mashiro was to tried to argue and knew Sou wouldn't back down either
"All right I promise" As Mashiro moved to the door Sou said something that made him stop in his tracks.
"In the end we never did have our date did we?"
"Uh, I guess not" even though Mashiro believed that no date could be better than the sleepover they'd had last night
"Well then how would you like to have dinner with me on Saturday?"
"In the dorm?" asked Mashiro since he could think over anywhere else
"No, I was thinking my house"
"Are you sure" questioned Mashiro since he was sure that Sou's house was the last place Sou would ever want to be
"Quite sure, mum's away on business so we would have the house to ourselves"
"Um" was all Mashiro could think of
"And since you'll be there I'll be fine" said Sou before moving his eyes to the floor. Mashiro realised that Sou was saying that if Mashiro was with him he would have the chance to dwell on his unhappy childhood
"It's a date then" Sou looked up
"And this time I'll be there"
The End
