Chapter 3: The Accident
"So, it was like that Shouichi-kun?" Tsuna asked as the red haired shifted uncomfortably in his seat. They were currently in the school reception room which was occupied with the Disciplinary Committee Chairman and the three of them. Shouichi couldn't seem to believe that one sweet smile from Tsuna would set the great Hibari Kyouya off into a kind man and would allow them to stay in the reception room. The raven-haired man continued his paper works while Spanner and Tsuna interrogated him. He had no choice but to explain everything to them. About him staying in the Millefiore Mansion, about the fact that he was Byakuran Gesso's fiancé (though he said he didn't want to be), and that it's because of their grandfather's promises. Shouichi sighed though he wasn't completely calm. How on earth can you be calm when the whole school probably knew about his relationship with the lavender eyed man? The said person's fan girls would surely torture the explanation out of him.
"But its surprising Shouichi-kun…" Tsuna interrupted his thoughts. "What is?" he raised a brow at his friend. "'What is?' It's that you were able to capture Byakuran-san's attention." Shouichi's eyes widened. "What do you mean by that?" Spanner asked. Tsuna turned to Spanner then back to Shouichi.
"You don't know?" Tsuna looked at Spanner then to Shouichi. "Byakuran-san was known to be a playboy." Shouichi's eyes widened. Did he just hear that right?
"What? Is that true?" Spanner asked though he was observing the red haired. Tsuna seem to notice Shouichi's discomfort. "Well…yeah…that's what I heard about him." Shouichi's gaze fell to the floor, silently thinking. Tsuna turned to Spanner before continuing. "They said he had many girlfriends and they said he wasn't really satisfied with them."
'And now he wants a man to satisfy him? Amazing…' Shouichi thought angrily. He had to bit his bottom lip to calm himself. Could that bastard just be making stories to make his life miserable? What was Shouichi to him? A toy to just play with and thrown away if he was not satisfied with it? To make look like an idiot in front of everyone in the cafeteria? To embarrass him? To play with his feelings? Why does he feel so worked out about that kind of thing anyway?
"chi?"
"Shouichi!" Irie snapped out of his thoughts and stared at his friends who were having worried faces. "Wha-What is it?" he asked, but his voice broke. He stand up and gathered his things on the table before smiling faintly at both of them.
"Sorry, I have a class to catch." Was all he said before leaving his friends dumbfounded.
"Oops. Maybe I said something wrong?" Tsuna turned to Spanner who seems thinking deeply about something.
"Oi, are you herbivores done discussing your stupid problems?" a cold voice interrupted them. Tsuna turned to the other person in the room. "Uh…Hi-Hibari-san, I'm so sorry if we are disturbing you…We'll go now…" he grabbed a dazed Spanner and ran out of the reception room. "Hieeeeee!" the raven haired teen sighed as he heard that squeal. 'Stupid herbivore…' was his thought as he continued signing his paper works.
Shouichi adjusted his glasses as the final period is finally over. He certainly didn't want to think about their discussion earlier. All he has to do now is ignore the strange stares of his classmates, ignore the protests of his stomach and just go home and think about his homework. He gathers his things, grabbed his headphones from his bag, listens to the music in his ipod and ignore all the people in the world.
He encountered many girls in the hallway who seem to be eying him dangerously. He ignored them all though. He just wanted to leave school and leave that house. He can sleep anywhere as long he won't see that white haired man again. He was so absorbed by his thoughts that he didn't realize someone until-BAM. He collides with someone as he fell to his butt, his headphones falling to his shoulders. He looked up at the person who bumped into him. He opens his mouth to say a quick apology but the words got stuck in his throat as he was grabbed in the arms by five White Spell students. Shouichi then knew, this is going to be bad.
"Agh!" Shouichi gasped as he was harshly pushed against the wall. His things were thrown somewhere. He glares at the two guys pinning him to the wall and the three other girls who are glaring at him too.
"Hey! Le-Let me go!" he struggled but a slap on his face stopped him. He glared at the girl who just slapped him. 'Oh god. I'm going to be tortured.' He thought as the girl on the center, probably the leader bit her lip in anger.
"Tch. A low-life like you would never be Byakuran-sama's fiancé!" she said coldly before slapping Shouichi's swollen cheek. Irie feels his anger rising. He was never that bastard's fiancé. Just hearing the name of the white haired man makes his blood boil.
"I'm not that bastard's fiancé." He said coldly. The girl seemed very irritated now. She grabbed his hair and tilted his head backward so he was staring at her blue eyes. "Don't talk about Byakuran-sama that way!" she glared at him. "Ugh."
"Listen Black Spell, we don't know how you manipulated Byakuran-sama but you better learn your place. Don't get too close to him, a low-life like you is not worthy to be close to someone as powerful as Byakuran-sama!" she raised her hand and slapped Shouichi again, and again, and again.
"Nee, Saya-chan, isn't that a bit too much?" the girl on the right asked. "Shut up Miku!" she glared at her before turning her attention back to the red haired. "Stupid black spell geek." She said coldly before raising her hand again. Shouichi closed his eyes and waited for another impact…which never came. He feels the hands on him disappeared.
"G-Ghost-sama!" Shouichi heard the girls shout. He opens his eyes to see his savior beat the crap out of the guys who held him. The girls cowered in fear as the white haired replica of their beloved Byakuran turned to face them.
"Uh…G-G-Ghost-sam…we-we-we were just…." She trailed off as Ghost gave her a cold glare. "Disappear from my sight." He said voice insanely low and dangerous. They immediately grabbed their unconscious friends then ran for their lives. Shouichi fell to the floor as his legs gave out. He cheeks stung and his heart was beating rapidly in his chest. He thought it would burst anytime now. He would have been dead meat if he wasn't saved by Ghost who grabbed his bag from somewhere and slowly came to him.
"Are you okay?" Ghost asked tone full of worry and concern for the red haired. Shouichi smiled softly at him. He felt faint and dizzy. "I'm fine." He replied. He tried to stand but his legs gave out yet again. A strong arm immediately wrapped around his middle to keep him from falling. "Woah, can you stand?" Ghost asked. Shouichi's cheeks flushed as warm breath invaded his personal space.
"I-I th-think…" he stuttered. He grabbed the other man's sleeve to balance himself. He gasped as he was lifted from the ground and was carried by the other man in his arms, bridal style. The blushed on his face into deeper red.
"Uh…G-G-G-G-G-G-Ghost-san…I-I can walk…"Shouichi trailed off as the man gave him a I-really-insist-okay? Look. Shouichi gave a tired sigh, there's no use arguing with the other man now. He somehow knew that protesting won't do him any good. Now, he looks up at the man similar to Byakuran but not quite. Ghost was absolutely better than Byakuran. He could feel a strange bond between him and Ghost. He blushed at the thought. But…he do feel something when he's with Ghost. A feeling that as if he knew something about this man. A feeling which he could seem to remember but knew that it exist. He observed the man silently as he was walking towards a black car. His day seemed to become better just seeing the man.
A certain white man roamed around the living room. His bodyguards eyed him silent in their seats. Kikyo and the others knew that their boss is currently pissed. Everything seemed okay when they came back from school but now, it was already 8:00 pm and a certain red haired black spell student hasn't arrived yet. And to make matters worse, the white haired man's brother who was assigned to know the red haired teen's location at all time is nowhere to be found.
They stared at their boss cautiously as he came to a halt then a priceless vase came flying to the floor. The vase shattered into pieces and the red roses placed in it scattered on the floor.
"Zakuro, call someone to clean those." Kikyo ordered at the yawning red haired man. "Hai…Hai…" he replied boredly as he went to call a maid. Kikyo eyed his boss as he bit on his thumb and resumed walking around.
The light-blue haired girl sitting on the sofa seemed happy that the red haired wasn't home yet. She bets her men have done the job of getting rid of the red haired. But she was pissed at the same time that her beloved Byakkun has ordered his entire men to search for the red haired.
"Um…t-thank you…Ghost-san…" they heard someone say at the door. Byakuran's face immediately broke into a smile as he ran to the two big doors of the mansion and banged it open. His bright smile was immediately replaced by a frown as he saw the scene before him. Shouichi was gripping his brother's sleeve while Ghost's arm was wrapped around the Irie's waist. He still felt faint even though they already had dinner which he was treated by Ghost in a high class restaurant. He really couldn't protest though since the man insisted that he should eat. They chatted about things they both liked and Shouichi found out that Ghost was actually the younger sibling since he thought he was the older. He enjoyed talking to the other man. He felt comfortable and happy with the man. He just wished they could have talked more.
"Where have you been?" Byakuran's voice was as sharp as knife which cut through Shouichi's thoughts. Byakuran sent a murderous glare at his brother before turning at the red haired. Shouichi felt suffocated as Byakuran's gaze fell on him. He bit his bottom lip as he remembered the discussion they had earlier in the morning. 'A playboy…huh…'
"Sorry, I just treated him out for dinner." Ghost answered, noticing his brother's glare when Byakuran turned to face him. Shouichi slowly tugged at Ghost's sleeve. The younger brother turned to the red haired who was looking at him like he really needed to get away from his elder brother's presence.
"Sorry nii-san, allow me to escort Shouichi to his room." Ghost looked at his brother whose brows rose confusedly. As if he was shocked that he started to call the red haired by his first name. He started to call the red haired by his name since Irie insisted that he should just call him by his name instead by his full name. Ghost kept the red haired close to him as they headed to go inside the mansion. Byakuran grabbed Shouichi's arm who gave a soft gasp.
"I'll do it." Byakuran said fixing a glare at his brother. Ghost wanted to argue but stopped as Shouichi smiled at him.
"It's okay Ghost-san, and thanks for treating me and for saving me earlier." The red haired bowed before letting go of Ghost's sleeve and leaned in to Byakuran. "It's nothing. Are you sure you'll be okay?" he asked oblivious to his brother's death glares. Shouichi gave him a sweet smile. "Yeah…" he nodded. Byakuran gave one last you-better-explain-everything-to-me-later-look at Ghost turning his attention back to his Shou-chan and led him to his room. Ghost ignored that look though; of course he knows he should explain to him everything. He glanced at the girl sitting on the sofa, who was obviously pouting. He needs to have a talk with her.
"You were the one who ordered those white spell students to attack Shouichi right?" Ghost glared at the girl who was sitting on her bed and was rolling her eyes. She twirled her hair in annoyance.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" she says arrogantly. "I've warned you Bluebell, don't touch Shouichi." He growls earning a glare from Bluebell.
"Like you're any different! You would even want to snatch him away from Byakkun if you have the chance!" she shouted at him. Ghost's eyes narrowed and he glared at her. "I'll warn you again. Don't touch Shouichi." He said coldly before turning and heads for the exit. Bluebell twirled her hair by her fingers. "Hn. I won't be doing the touching stupid Ghost. I'll never give Byakkun to someone like him." She added to herself.
Ghost heads to his room. He immediately throws himself to his king-sized bed, thinking about what Bluebell said. 'Like you're any different! You would even want to snatch him away from Byakkun if you have the chance!' He scratches he head in annoyance. He covers his face with the pillows. "Why can't you remember me? Shouichi…" he mumbles to himself.
Shouichi remains completely silent on their way to his room. He ignored the heat on his cheeks at the tight grip of Byakuran has on his arm. He tried to match Byakuran's pace but he just falls behind the man. He knows Byakuran is pissed but he does not know why. But he certainly didn't want to be with Byakuran at the moment. When they arrive in his room he would just do his homework then sleep the night away. "Ooof!" he bumps at the other's shoulder. He moved away from the other man, rubbing his face gently.
"We're here Shou-chan…" Byakuran says flatly, no expression in his tone whatsoever. Shouichi sighs inwardly then looked up to be met by Byakuran's lavender eyes. Ba-dump. His cheeks heat up. He immediately turns away and opened the door to his room. He took another glance at the other man who just silently stared at him. Um…Than-Thank you…well, I should…uh…" Shouichi bowed at Byakuran's direction before turning away from the man. He wanted the other man to go away. He was making Shouichi feel strange and the red haired certainly doesn't like it. He had a homework to make and wouldn't be able to concentrate at all.
Strong arms wrapped around his middle stopping him. "He-Hey! Wha-"
"Shou-chan…" Byakuran muttered softly in his ear, provoking a shudder. Shouichi inhaled sharply as he feels his cheeks growing warm. He shifted his feet uncomfortably. "What did you mean by Ghost saving you earlier?"Byakuran rested his head on the redhead's shoulder, his breath tickling Shouichi's neck. 'You caught on that?' he thought, struggling to get away from Byakuran's grip but the other man only tightened his hold on the redhead.
"Mou~! I don't want Shou-chan spending time with Ghost~!" Byakuran whined childishly. Shouichi stiffened as a hand moved to caress his neck. "I want Shou-chan to spend time with me instead~" the hand slid down to his collarbone. "Hey…uh…" Shouichi wants to protest but the words got stuck on his throat as the hand went lower and the other slid inside his shirt. "I want Shou-chan for myself~" Shouichi gasped as a wet tongue trailed down his neck. "Hey!" the redhead was more alert now, struggling more forcefully but Byakuran was unyielding.
"Shou-chan is mine~" Byakuran whispered hoarsely in his ear. Byakuran's hand moved lower…slowly…gently…then Shouichi snapped as he remembered what Tsuna said.
'Byakiran-san is known to be a playboy…'
Shouichi yanked Byakuran's hands and finally, moved away from him. Byakuran blinked innocently at the redhead, though confusion was written all over his face. "Stop this already…"Shouichi bit his bottom lip as he tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall from his eyes. Byakuran's eyes widened in surprise. "Stop playing with me already!" he shouted at the white haired man who was definitely confused and shocked.
"What are you talking about Shou-chan?" I'm not playi-"
"Stop lying!" Byakuran was taken aback as Shouichi shouted at him. He was shocked. As if he couldn't seem to believe that the redhead could ever be angry at him.
"I'm not your toy. And I'll never be the one to satisfy you like all your previous girlfriends failed to do so." The redhead felt absolutely mortified with the words that escaped in his mouth.
Byakuran was totally speechless. How did his Shou-chan knew about that? He absolutely didn't want the red haired to know about that. Those girls in his past can never be what Shouichi was to him. His Shou-chan was just so precious. After all, his life would have been meaningless if he hadn't seen and met Shouichi.
"Who told you that?" the achromatic-haired man asked earning a confused look from the redhead.
"It doesn't matter where I heard it from. It doesn't even matter anyway. And by the way, I'll be leaving here tomorrow." Shouichi says as he turned away from Byakuran and head to his room. Byakuran's eyes widened at that statement then he reached out. "No! Shou-chan can't leave! You can't leave me Shou-chan~!" Byakuran tugged at the redhead's arm, he pouted childishly. Shouichi irritably yanked his arm and slapped Byakuran. Hard. The lavender eyed man realizes that this is the second time the redhead had slapped him, and this time it actually hurt. He patted his bruised cheek gently, and it stung.
"Stop being so selfish. I am not your toy, so stop. Just stop…" Shouichi before he slammed the door at Byakuran. The redhead immediately fell to the floor. He wrapped his arms around himself. He felt cold and suffocated. He never actually liked Byakuran…right? Right? He's so childish, immature and selfish jerk who does nothing but embarrass Shouichi. He is probably the most irritating guy Shouichi had ever met. So, Byakuran was just a nobody to him right? But somehow…it doesn't feel right. Why does he feel a little guilty when he said those things to Byakuran? Doing that…actually…made him kind of…sad.
Shouichi never felt so tired in his entire life. Last night seem to be so problematic that he wasn't even able to concentrate in his homework. He couldn't even sleep thinking about a certain white haired man who had deliberately affected the redhead to the point that he didn't want to do anything but think about him. Shouichi always hated if someone or something affects his studies. Because for him, education is very important. He just doesn't understand why other people would give up education for drinks, drugs, and whatever things that have addicted teenagers nowadays.
It's not like it was his business anyway. He still has a few classes to attend but since it was still lunch time, he was in the cafeteria with Spanner who dragged him after his class and was feeling uncomfortable with other people's stares. Just like yesterday, the girls seem to be watching his every move and the boys seem confused on why the girls seem to be more focused with the redhead than with them. He sighed, earning the attention of his blonde friend.
"You okay?" Spanner makes a face that could be considered as worry for his redhead friend. Shouichi snapped up and smiled fakely at Spanner. "It's nothing…" the redhead lied. He knew Spanner always cared for him. Though he may appear stoic and expressionless but Shouichi feels that his blonde friend actually cares. He just didn't want to Spanner to know his problems, since it concerns a certain white haired man Shouichi certainly didn't want to talk about or even think about the man.
Spanner raises a brow at his friend. He certainly that something was strange with his redhead friend but he does not push him too far though. "I see…" he replied as he returned his attention to his cakes and lollipop on the table.
Shouichi sighed inwardly as his friend finally dropped the subject. Spanner really is an understanding friend. He knew exactly when to back off. And it's one of the personalities of Spanner that Shouichi likes the most.
poke
Shouichi snapped out of his trance then glared at Spanner who looked like he was about to laugh at the redhead's reaction.
"What are you doing Spanner?" Shouichi asked as he wiped away the icing that Spanner placed in his nose. Spanner chuckled softly, earning a glare from the redhead.
"Nothing really," Spanner replies as he placed another icing at the redhead's cheek. "H-Hey!" Shouichi backed away from his blonde friend who was now laughing. Shouichi's brows twitched. He wants an icing fight? Then he's going to get it. Shouichi grabbed a plate with a cake full of icings, smiled evilly at his friend before he frosted his index finger with icing and reached out at the blonde's cheek. Spanner blinked stupidly as Shouichi laughed at his reaction. Spanner observed his friend's laughing form. His cheeks were flushed with obvious happiness and he looked incredibly cute at that state.
Spanner smiled softly. At least his friend finally laughed. Not scowling and having that troubled look in his face. Shouichi stopped as he realizes Spanner was observing him silently. He flushed as Spanner continued to stare at him. "Spanner?" the blonde male snapped back into reality. "Oh…nothing…you just look so cute." Spanner smiled. The redhead cheeks grew redder than it used to be. "I'm not cute!" he shouts, the people around them began to whisper. Shouichi calms himself; he shouldn't make a scene since everyone in the cafeteria is obviously staring at the duo.
Spanner just laughs at the redhead's outburst. An embarrassed Shouichi is a really quite a sight to behold. "But it's true…" he pouted earning a childish glare from his friend. Really, the redhead is so cute even he denies it.
"I'm not cute Span-"
"Kyaaah! It's Byakuran-sama~" a group of girls squealed. Shouichi immediately went stiff.
"Oh~ What do you think Byakuran-sama is doing here?"
"Saa, but it doesn't matter as long as he's here~! Kyaaah!"
Shouichi chose to remain calm. Ignore him. Yes, that's the plan. Ignore the white haired man.
"Oh~ Kikyo-sama is so lucky…to be so close with Byakuran-sama…"
"Ah~ Bluebell-sama is hugging Byakuran-sama for herself…"
Shouichi ignored that statement. A playboy would always have girls clinging to him right? Spanner, being a very good observant, noticed his friend's sudden discomfort.
"Maa…Shouichi is really cute…" the redhead's attention immediately fell to his companion. "I told you I'm not cute!" Shouichi snaps. Spanner just laughs, throwing his head back. Shouichi sighed; at least he was calm down a bit by Spanner's laughter.
"I wonder why you're so stubborn Shouichi." The blonde comments. Shouichi scowls at him. "It's because you always tease me even though it's not true." The redhead wipes the icing on his face with his handkerchief. "Hmm? Why would I lie to you? It's really true. You're so cute and maybe that's the reason you captured Byakuran Gesso's attention nee?" Shouichi didn't like the way Spanner said that. There was something in his tone and it's creepy. He was silent for a moment. He didn't want to talk about him since he was the reason of the commotion in the cafeteria now. Loud murmurs can now be heard, talking about their precious Byakuran-sama. But the redhead ignored them, they have the right to do whatever they want.
"Stop calling me cute Spanner. Tsunayoshi-kun is the one fit to be called cute." Shouichi scratches his vermillion locks irritably. "Okay…okay…" Spanner reached out and pinch at the redhead's cheek. "Ow! What you do that for?" Shouichi slaps his hand away. "Haha! Shouichi is really cut- I mean, stubborn." Spanner smiles at his friend who glared at him. Really, you can never resist Shouichi's cuteness.
"Mou…Spanner, stop teasing me. Why don't you concentrate on finishing your sweets than teasing me?" Shouichi comments as he examined the cakes on their table. Spanner really loves sweets. "Hai…Hai…" Spanner replies as he revert his attention back at his cakes. Shouichi sighed in relief. He pushed his glasses up to the bridge of his nose. He rested his chin to the palm of his hand then turned to the look right. He immediately regretted it though.
Byakuran was just three tables away from the one the redhead and Spanner were sitting at. His lavender ones locked at the redhead's green ones. Shouichi feels his cheeks heat up at the attention. 'Why…why is he looking at me like that?' he thought to himself as he looked away but from the corner of his vision, Byakuran continued to stare at the redhead. Shouichi shifted uncomfortably in his seat the longer the white haired man kept staring at him. A certain girl Byakuran then to the person he was staring at. She scowled inwardly, today…is Irie Shouichi's doom.
Class was already over and Shouichi got late just because of Spanner's failed promise. The redhead sighed. The sun already set and Shouichi was still at school. Spanner promised to study with him at the library but the blonde man didn't show up, ending up Shouichi studying alone. 'Why did this have to happen now?' he thought to himself. Good god.
"Shou-chan?" a familiar voice asked. Shouichi turned to the owner of that voice. And to his surprise, the person he didn't want to see was there, holding an umbrella with him.
"By-Byakuran-san…" his voice was cautious and he stepped back slightly as the man in white walked toward him.
"Why are you still here Shou-chan?" Byakuran asks as the redhead took another step back as he stepped closer to the redhead.
"It-It's none of your business." Shouichi said coldly before he gathers his things. Byakuran seemed to be unsatisfied at this then in a blur, he pinned the redhead to the wall. "Hey!" Shouichi protested as his bag and books fell to the floor. "L-Let go of me!" he struggled as the achromatic-haired man grabbed his wrists and pinned them on the either side of his head.
"You are my business Shou-chan. I can't stop worrying if something happens to you!" Byakuran says at him. Shouichi struggles more. "If something happens to me? What do you mean by that? How could anything happen to me here at school!" the redhead asks. Byakuran's face became serious for a moment before he added.
"Last night…Ghost told me, you were bullied" Byakuran frowned as he said that. Remebering what could have happened to the redhead if his brother wasn't able to save him. Shouichi bit his bottom lip.
"That's got nothing to do with you. So please, let me go." Shouichi struggled to free his wrist again but the other man was strong and only tightened his grip on the redhead that he thought it would break any minute now.
"Spanner-kun is right. Shou-chan really is stubborn."Shouichi's eyes widened at that. "You were listening to us?" the redhead's tone was of pure shock.
"Yeah, you and Spanner-kun seem really close." Byakuran moved closer to the redhead. Shouichi's cheeks heat up at their proximity. He swallowed thickly.
"Spanner-kun really likes Shou-chan…I wonder if Shou-chan likes him back…" Shouichi didn't like the way it sounded. Of course Shouichi liked Spanner, as a friend. Spanner was his friend since the first day he entered Namimori. Spanner is a very good friend. Byakuran sounded like it was a very bad thing.
"Of course I like Spanner. Whether I like him or not, it doesn't concern you…I-" Shouichi trailed off as he saw Byakuran's expression. His brows drew together delicately; his bottom lip trembling and lavender eyes showed something the redhead had never seen before. Hurt and Sadness. This is the first time he had seen Byakuran gave that kind of expression. It was very painful to look at, and the childish nature was replaced by it. Shouichi notices Byakuran bit his bottom lip. The atmosphere surrounding them became tenser.
"Shou-chan is so mean! I'm your fiancé Shou-chan! How can you like someone else?" Green eyes went wide at the white haired man's sudden outburst. He never said he wanted to become his fiancé in the first place. How can you force someone to be your fiancé if you didn't have any feelings for?
"Didn't I tell you to stop lying? You're just play-"
"I'm not playing with you Shou-chan! If Shou-chan would just listen I'll explain everything to him." Shouichi paused for a moment. Explain? Explain what?
"No, I don't want to hear it." Shouichi frees himself from Byakuran's hold, hastily grabbed his things on the floor and ran away from the man as fast as he could.
"Shou-chan! Wait!" he hears Byakuran call out to him but he ignores him. He just ran, until he could get away from Byakuran as fast as he possibly could. Somehow he doesn't want to hear Byakuran's explanation. Well, none of it matters anyway, he was never going to see that achromatic haired man again. EVER. Shouichi stops as he pants heavily. He wasn't really such a good runner. He was smart but he isn't athletic. He notices it was already dark. He sighs as he turned to the direction of Millefiore mansion and unfortunately for him, something will stop him from ever going back.
There were three people no-delinquents to be specific were obviously following him. He turned around instantly. 'Shit. Why does this always happen to me?' he thought miserably to himself. He tried to picture out other route and to his relief he got one. He walked faster and faster but he still hears footsteps trailing behind him. He was stopped when someone blocked his way.
The guy, a bit taller than the redhead, smiles down at Shouichi. He was obviously handsome, His raven hair with matching crimson orbs proved to be such a beauty. But one thing still didn't change, he was still a delinquent.
"Hey cutie, what's the rush?" the raven haired man smirks. 'Cutie?' Shouichi twitched. He really is starting to hate the word cute. He ignored the man though, he walked passed him but he was grabbed by the arm holding him in place. "L-Let go…" Shouichi growls. The raven haired man and his companions laughed.
"Ah…boss, is this him?" the one with blonde hair asked the raven haired man.
"He's just a geek…but a very cute one." Another man with sky blue hair smirks.
Shouichi struggles more forcefully. But the raven haired man is unyielding. Shouichi actually hates this kind of situation. He needs to escape then he realizes the place he was currently in. People rarely walk in this place. People-or more specially girls who take this route always ending up getting raped and killed. He just wonders what will happen to him if he won't be able to escape.
"Hmm…" the raven haired grabbed the redhead's chin and forced him to look into his crimson orbs. "She really has such bad eyesight." The raven haired comments, his brow rising slightly.
'She?' the redhead thought as his struggles renewed. "Nee, you're really cute, now I don't want to do what she told me to do…" the raven haired teen moved closer to the redhead.
"You sure boss? You know what will happen if she…" the blonde guy trailed off as his boss gave him a menacing glare.
"I don't care what she will do…right now…this cutie has really captivated me." He smiles at the redhead. Shouichi cowers, did he really just heard it right? This is bad…really bad.
"Nee, wanna become mine? I'll give you everything you want…just be mine…" Shouichi frowns at that. Why do people want to own him like he was just a thing?
'Shou-chan is mine!' Shouichi tensed at that. He doesn't really want to do this but if he does this and it make him escape from the clutches of the raven haired man, sure why not.
"No thank you, but I'm already taken." He says coldly before he yanked his arm harshly from the raven haired man. He turns to another direction but the raven haired man wouldn't give up that easily. "H-Hey!" Shouichi was grabbed rather harshly this time then he was pushed against a wall.
"Oho~ You really interest me, Irie Shouichi-kun…" the raven haired teen pins the redhead to the wall. "H-H-How do you know m-my name?" Shouichi was now panicking. How did this bastard know his name?
"Ah~ It doesn't matter where I heard it~ shall I call you Shouichi-kun? Oh! How about Shou-kun hmmm? You like that?" the raven haired man smirks at the redhead's reaction. Shouichi pushes the other man away but his wrists were grabbed and pinned them above his head. Shouichi's things fell to the floor.
"Let me go!" he tries to free his wrists but he couldn't muster any strength. He shifted uncomfortably at the attention the raven haired man was lavishing upon him.
"Hmm…You're so cute…I just can't…control myself…" he raven haired licked Shouichi's cheek in a catlike way. "N-No!" Shouichi struggled more forcefully. The raven haired move away.
"Hmm…inexperienced?" he grins. Shouichi blushed. "Ah~ Lucky…" the raven haired teen began attacking the redhead's neck. "Ah-" Shouichi closed his eyes and bit his lip, preventing any weird sounds that may escape from his lips. 'This is too much…someone…save me…Byakuran-san…'
"Hey! WHAT THE-" Shouichi feels the raven haired teen let go of his wrists.
"Who are you?"
"How…How dare you touch my Shou-chan? I'll kill you!" he hears someone snarl. Shouichi snapped his eyes open to his Byakuran with an unreadable expression in his face.
"Ugh! What the hell? Who are you?" the raven haired man glared at the man in white grabbing his collar.
"Me? I'm your worst nightmare." The man in white growls dangerously as he starts on beating up the raven haired man. Shouichi fell to the floor, his entire form trembling.
"Nii-san! Stop!"
"Stop? After what this bastard did to my Shou-chan?" Byakuran snarled at his brother.
"I know how you feel. But you better go to Shouichi."
Shouichi wrapped his arms around himself. Byakuran frowned at the trembling form of the redhead. He bent down slowly.
"Shou-chan…" Shouichi looks up slowly. "Are you okay?" the redhead bit his trembling lip.
"B-Bya-Byakuran-san?" Shouichi whispers. "Yes Shou-chan…it's me." Tears started to form in Shouichi's eyes.
"Shou-chan…it's okay now…" Byakuran grabbed the redhead to an embrace. Shouichi actually leaned in to Byakuran. Tears now flowed freely down his cheeks. Byakuran lifted the redhead from the ground. "Sssh…Shou-chan, its okay. I am here now, nothing can harm you…" Byakuran whispers soothingly at the Shouichi's vermillion locks. Shouichi continued to sob as Byakuran lead him up to a black car.
Shouichi was laid gently on the bed. After he bathed and eaten Byakuran led him to his room. "There you go Shou-chan." Byakuran smiles. He turned and moved to leave but the redhead grabbed his shirt. Byakuran looked back at Shouichi. "Yes Shou-chan?" He asks.
"Don't leave…" Shouichi whispered, Byakuran's eyes widened. "Stay with me…" he adds before he finally succumb to sleep. Byakuran smiled as Shouichi finally fell asleep. Byakuran slipped himself to the bed, wrapped his arms around the redhead who snuggled closer to him. The achromatic-haired man smiles before he kissed the redhead's forehead.
"Good night, my dear Shou-chan…" he mumbles before he fell asleep. He was happy, for he knows tomorrow is going to be a nice day.
