AN: There will be fluff. Lots of it.
I wanted to be like my father and older brother...
But what did that get me?...
Nothing that's what...
"Every heart has a weakness."
"Is that what you're afraid of?"
The demon jumped from being startled at his brother angrily coming in and slamming the door. Rin was though roughly confused when his twin noisily sat at his desk with a huff.
"Yukio?"
All he got was a grunt in response.
"Did something happen? I thought you had a meeting with Mephisto?"
Yukio sat there for a moment, arms crossed over his chest and a sour scowl on his face.
"I did."
"Well what did he say."
There was a long pause as the room filled with tension.
"I got suspended."
The demon quirked a brow in confusion, Yukio sighed, knowing his not too sharp, brother did not understand.
"I'm not allowed on any missions for a while."
He still didn't get it.
"Why?"
There was more silence as Yukio's face became stoic once more.
"They found out about my disorder and said that I was 'susceptible to possession.'"
There was more silence but Rin still looked confused.
"They think I'm so emotionally weak that it would be easy for me to be possessed." he sighed.
"I understand their concerns but... this is pretty ridiculous."
He stiffened when he felt gentle rubbing on his back. He turned around to see his brother awkwardly patting him on the back and attempting to smile at him.
"Yukio. I know it's not fair but I also think that it's pretty safe to do."
Rin was holding in what he really felt. How dare they try to tell his brother to stop doing his job?! He absolutely hated to see his brother unhappy. Rin also knew that being called weak was a sore spot for Yukio. What Rin really wanted to do was tell Mephisto to shove his girly cane up his ass but he also knew that this is a smart call, even though it's extremely unfair it is the safest thing to do.
Yukio abruptly turned around with a quiet sigh and started to read. The demon clenched his fist in anger and just stood there. He always did this. He would be mad or upset about something for like five seconds and then just drop it like it's not important and it made Rin sick.
Stop bottling everything up!
"Yukio, do you want to talk about it?"
There was a long silence which Rin found kind of awkward.
"No. It's no big deal."
"Yukio." Rin sighed.
"I don't like it when your upset."
"Who said I was upset?" He said in that irritating monotone.
"Fine. Whatever."
Rin walked away and for a second the demon swore he saw a disappointed look on his face.
"Morning Yukio."
"…"
Rin found it a bit strange that Yukio didn't say good morning or even a hello. He looked to be in pain. He brought his hand up to his cheek and winced in pain.
"Are you okay, Yukio?"
"Yeah."
"Maybe you should see a doctor or a dentist or something."
"Yeah."
"Ms. Yuushi wants to meet with us after school okay, so just meet me there."
Rin smiled at him as he spoke, but as usual it wasn't returned or at least Yukio gave a weak microscopic smile in response.
"Okay. I'll meet you there."
"Good." The demon smiled once more.
"So how was your day?"
"Fine." Was Yukio's short reply.
He brought his hand up to his cheek and winced once more like he had been throughout the day.
"So did you do anything? Maybe talked with some friends or anything?"
He just stared at her with an expression that had the tiniest hint of 'this is nonsense' as usual.
"Well, Rin did stuff with his friends."
She was a bit confused. When she had spoken to Rin that time it appeared that they were in the same group of friends but apparently Yukio didn't think of them as friends.
"You and Rin don't hang out with the same people?"
"Just because we're twins doesn't mean we do everything together you know." He said coldly.
"I'm sorry for assuming that then."
"And besides, I don't have the time for things like that, like Rin does. He has lots of time on his hands." He sat straight but with his arms crossed. She noted that he still wouldn't relax around her but maybe that's just the way he is. She was about to speak but he spoke before her.
"He's good at things he doesn't even know he's good at. Makes me je…"
He stopped himself before he could finish but it was obvious to the women what he was going to say.
The statement was quiet but it felt like it left echoes in the small room.
"You know you've talked about Rin an awful lot since you've been in here."
"Yeah so." He shifted uncomfortably.
"Is it possible that maybe… Your feelings towards Rin aren't just hate and jealousy but maybe something more?"
She wasn't suggesting…
"Maybe you feel-"
"No. Stop."
"But Yu-"
"I said shut up. You don't know anything." He said coldly.
"I was just thinking that maybe… you really love Rin."
His eyes narrowed.
"He's my brother of course I love him."
"I… Yukio I don't think you know what I mean. I think that maybe your love for Rin is something mo-"
"SHUT UP!"
She cowered as flames engulfed his body and he growled at her. Flames. Bright blue flames. He had finally cracked.
He looked down at himself and his face became one of fear and terror. Oh no…
"No… no, no, no!"
He continued to repeat as he started to try distinguishing himself of the flames. They burned even more brightly. He desperately began patting himself as if that would make it stop but to no avail the flames remained.
Rin sat and looked at the clock in impatience.
"What is taking them so long."
Finally the flames began to die down and Yukio became calm but the psychiatrist was not.
"Ms. Yuushi I…"
He didn't know what to say to her.
"Does Rin know?"
He sat back down dejectedly.
"No."
"You should tell him."
His head snapped up at this.
"What the hell do you mean I should tell him? What am I suppose to say 'Hey Rin my demonic powers have awakened and Mephisto says that soon I'm gonna have a tail and fangs!' "
She sighed.
"Yukio, this is something important. Does the Vatican know?"
"Yeah. Mephisto's taking care of that, they aren't going to kill me."
She looked relieved. She was a good woman, Yukio concluded. She wasn't crazy like all the other people at true cross. She accepted them and wasn't freaked out about it at all. He didn't know whether she could see demons or not but it made him feel good that she accepted them for what they were raised as, humans.
"Well that's good but I think he should know."
She slowly began to stand and made her way to the office door.
"W-what are you doing?"
"Calling your brother in here."
"Why?"
"So you can tell him a few things. You guys need to talk."
"No really I-"
"So… What's up?"
His twin walked in the door looking extremely curious. Ms. Yuushi became very serious and it scared Yukio. She wasn't going to tell Rin what she had just saw, was she?
Rin sat down next to Yukio and smiled at him, obviously unaware of the seriousness in the room. Once again Yukio felt jealous. Ignorance really is bliss.
"So Rin, Now that we're working into the next few stages of Yukio's treatment, it's time you two talked."
They looked at one another, Rin with an awkward smile and Yukio with a stoic frown. Still the older is oblivious.
"Sooo… What are we talkin' about?"
Yukio could only stare at him. His big pretty blue eyes wide and right leg twitching up and down, showing his hyper activeness.
He was so pretty. So very pretty and dumb, Yukio thought with a deeper frown.
"So," She said crossing her legs and interrupting his thoughts.
"Rin, why don't you go first."
"Me… Okay. What kinda stuff do I say?" He looked kind of excited like they were playing some sort of game, but Yukio knew Rin was just being Rin.
"Anything you want Yukio to know."
Said boy cringed.
"Ahhh…. Well, let's see," He tapped his finger against his chin in thought.
"Um… Well…. Oh! I'm really glad that I can help you get better! And I love you lots!" He smiled at him more but it wasn't returned. Yukio knew that whatever Rin had to say was going to be sweet… sickeningly sweet.
"Now it's your turn Yukio. Say whatever's on your mind. Anything you want to get off your chest."
He turned to Rin and saw his calm smile. He cringed even harder.
This is going to take a while.
