Chapter 6 - Wake up call!
15 years ago, clouds, rain, and a young brunette boy who sat under a small, creaky awning. His arms wrapped around his knees, face buried in his elbows. He watched the small droplets fall to the ground, hair dripping.
"Um...Excuse me.."
The boy looked up at the girl with a white umbrella and holding her clean handkerchief out to him.
"Are you-"
The boy lashes out at her.
"LEAVE ME ALONE"
The girl fell back and looked at him for a little and smiled. She picked up her umbrella and approached the boy once again.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
She got on her knees and started to shake his hair dry of water with her handkerchief.
The boy froze and stared at the girl who was uncomfortably close. Her chest was barely inches away from his face.
I..can hear her heart beat... Or is that mine?
"G-get away from me!"
The boy yelled at her. She just continued until she was satisfied with the dryness of his soft, brown hair. Her shoulder and elbow were scrapped from when she fell to the ground. The boy shakily looked at her.
"What...do you wan-"
"Take my umbrella and get yourself home. My house isn't far so I'll run, just make sure you get home dry, okay?"
The girl got up and scampered off in the rain.
The boy put his hand on his head and watched as her figure disappeared in the fog of the rain.
...
...
I...
He stood and chased after, holding himself under the white umbrella. As he came to the street, he stopped and looked at the red trail that streamed down the rushing waters in the street. The girl laid on the road, her white dress, now a crimson stain.
The boy stepped back and tried to straighten his thoughts.

"O-ow!"
"Don't move to much, Shizuo-kun! I can't clean you wounds when you're moving so much!"
You dabbed the cleansing alcohol-soaked cotton on his shirtless chest. Shizuo tried to sit still as you kneel'd in front of him.
"That..Hurts!"
You turned around to grab the roll of gauze and wrapped it around his entire upper body.
"Auugh! Why did you have to do that? I told you I was fine!"
"Would you rather have me lick all your wounds?!"
Shizuo's face froze and blankly looked at you.
Slightly annoyed, you pack up all the medical equipment and place it on the counter.
"Hahaha... She's gotten full control of him quickly"
Shinra chuckled as he sipped tea and sat next to Celty.
Celty's shoulders shook in a laughing-way and her neck nodded. You sat on the couch and took a sip of your tea. Shizuo continued to stare blankly in the distance.
"C'mon, Shizu-kun, button up your shirt, you'll catch cold. Why don't you go home? Your apartment's actual heater is probably working." Shinra said through a sip of tea.
You walk over to the other couch and crawl into a ball to muster any warmth you can.
"After that? Hell naw." Shizuo glared at Shinra about the incedent the other day.
Shinra sort of hid behind Celty "Ah.. yeah about that ^~^; ..."
"I don't even want to know you sicko"
You wrapped your hands around the warm cup of milk and took a sip from it.
"Can I go to the grocery store again? We're out of those dried fish thingies."
Shizuo looked at you with worrying eyes.
"Will you be okay? It's pretty dark out."
You kind of smile and nod.
"I should be fine"
"Why don't you go with her, Shizuo?"
Celty's phone read.
Shizuo looks at you for confirmation.
"No.. I'll be fine. I know lots of short cuts so I'll be back really soon"
And with that, you took off.
...
...
...
Hat over your head, Shizuo's scarf around your neck, mittens on your hands, you were still cold but you tried to run quickly so you could get back to the slightly warmer apartment with the broken heater. Hopping up trashcans and onto awnings and balconies, you easily scale rooftops and over fences. You slow down, trying to catch your breath, puffing white steam from your frigid lungs. Your slow foot steps clatter in the snowy alleyway, ice crackling below your boots. You get a bad feeling and try to pick up your pace, something snags your foot and you land face first into a pile of powdered snow.
Oof! What was that?!
You turn to a foot with belted boots
Belts..?
Blue and white camo cargo pants.. NO SHIRT THE HELL?!
You looked at the man that was half dressed, covered in cuts, bruises and the only thing that sort of covered his torso, an unbuttoned ripped up lab coat.
"LUCIFER?!" You exclaimed.
"Lucifer?! Are you okay?!" You take off one of your mittens and put your hand on his scorching forehead.
"Lucifer what are you doing here?! Can you stand? Are you awake?"
You throw your long coat on him and heave one of his arms over your shoulder.
"I should... take the safer path..." You ran as fast as you could, despite your doubling in body weight with the unconscious white haired man you were carrying.
...
What seemed to be hours passed as you finally shoved the door open and fell to the ground, gasping for air.
"Yui?!" Shizuo rushed over and dropped to his knees to help you up.
"Who the hell is this?!" Shizuo yelled in a panic, sitting you up.
"Nevermind that, this man is injured! Celty, can you help me bring him into my la-"
"Don't" The silver haired man finally spoke.
Shinra widened his eyes and kneeled next to him.
"Hey..."
Click click click
"Is that Lucifer?!"
Celty typed.
Lucifer looked up at you with half open eyes that shouted that he was in so much pain.
"Thank you...for... helping me... master Yui..."
Still gasping for air, you look at him.
"Let Shinra take care of you!"
You gasped.
"I... cannot. I will be fine, master Yui." He tried to stand.
You stood and held onto him before he fell over. He smirks and wraps his arms around you and proclaims
"I've missed you so, my little kitten..." He whispered into your hear that he then nibbled on.
Chills run up and down your spine as you try to squirm free of the man's tight embrace.
"What... the hell..."
Shinra looks at Shizuo and panics.
"A-ah! Lucifer, let her go! let her go, now!"
Shizuo reaches behind him and rips the couch from its spot.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER"
Lucifer nearly backflipped just to dodge one swing and caught the other.
Shizuo steps back in shock. The only other person Shizuo knew could do that was Simon, at least without being hurt by it..
"Ow! Ow ow ow! Now now, calm down my boy!"
Shizuo thought to soon and looked at the slightly unimpressive man shake his hands out of pain. Yet Shizuo was still surprised that he stopped the blow in the first place.
Shizuo yanked you over to him and pushed you away from Lucifer.
"Shinra, who is this rude man?" Lucifer scoffs at Shinra.
"That's Shizuo Heiwajima"
... *Introductions* ...
Shizuo groaned and crossed his arms.
"I see you do not approve of my presence. But that is not of matter." Lucifer smiled.
...ZzzzZzzZ...
You slept in a warm curl on one of the couches.
"Looks like our princess dozed off."
Shinra said and ran to grab a blanket.
"It's only 20:37(8:37 pm)" Shizuo said.
"She must have been tired.. or bored." Shinra said as he wrapped you in the blanket.
"You gentleman can stay out here as well, there's not enough rooms, but there is enough couches." Shinra yawned and headed to his room.
Shizuo glared at Lucifer before pulling the blanket over his shoulder.
"You going to bed so soon, also?"
Lucifer said with no reply. Before long, Shizuo was fully asleep.
"huff...huff..."
Sweat slid down Lucifer's face as he unbuttoned his borrowed shirt and looked at his several wounds.
"...'I will be fine, master Yui' was it?"
You walked over to Lucifer and placed your warm hand on his bloody chest.
"I'll get something to wash it." You walked into the kitchen and returned with a small tub of warm water with a towel soaking in it.
You squeezed out excess water and started to dab the blood off his chest.
"Why can't you do this yourself, you stupid cat."
You sneered.
"...Idiot." You leaned over and smoothed your tongue over one of his large wounds.
"...nn..."
...
...
"Master... you didn't have to do.."
After you wrapped up his chest in gauze, you stood and dumped out the bucket of the now red liquid into the sink. You dragged your blanket to your room and slid shut the door behind you, leaving the two guys in the living room.
Lucifer smiled and brought the blanket over his head.

Squeak...
The light sounds of foot steps trail into your room, you look over your shoulder just as Shizuo pulls you into his arms.
" %#$&?! Sh-Shizuo?!" You whisper yelled, the sun hasn't even risen yet.
"Shh..."
You sat in Shizuo's arms for a long time as the sun starts to rise. Shizuo loosens his grip and looked at you with insecure eyes.
"...Yui..." Shizuo whispered your name as he pressed his lips against yours.
"?! ...mmnn.." Your eyes slowly slid closed.
...
Gasp!
You and Shizuo finally gasp for air after not breathing for.. a Long time.
You put your finger on your moist lip and space out as you and Shizuo's faces go red.
"Yui... I..."
What? What did he say..?
"What did you-"
Shizuo released you and rushed out of the room, face on fire.
...
What a wake up call.
