Chapter 13

Nobody deserves your tears,

But whoever deserves them will never make you cry.

As we known, a playground is a place where everyone regardless of their age will spend some happy moments altogether by doing various outdoor activities such as picnic, playing with the equipments or playing some sports.

But even though our world is fully coloured with joy and happiness, there must be someone secretly suffering from sadness within. One of them is Misaki.

Unaffected by the smiles and laughter flashing all around him, Misaki was plunged in his misery as he was riding on a swing while slowly swinging himself back and forth. His eyes were now dull with unhappiness, not to mention they were red and puffy due to excessive crying.

Today, he quietly sneaked out from the penthouse as he believed everything in the outside could give some maintenance to him. He hoped that Akihiko wouldn't found out about this.

"Do you hate me, Akihiko-san...?" he kept thinking this in his head over and over while recollecting the painful memories that he recently received. For the every moment that he had shared for a lifetime with Akihiko, he never expected the day where his lover hurt him in both physically and mentally would come and made him suffer forever.

I love you – The three words that he used to hear from the man that he love the most but now he no longer hear anymore.

Misaki's thoughts died as he could hear the sound of thunder. He looked upwards. "Is it going to rain already...?"

Realizing that he didn't bring his umbrella along, he stood up and left the playground. "I need to go back quickly, or else Akihiko-san will...!"

Strangely enough, the further he walked, the weaker his legs had become and his vision became more blur. His energy was slowly sapped away for an unknown reason, though he managed to reach a zebra crossing.

"I wish I could go to somewhere else now... I don't want to face him..."

It began to rain heavily as Misaki crossed the road as far as his legs could carry him. Unfortunate for Misaki, there was a car speeding in front of him despite the stoplight was flashing red during that time. He didn't realize that his life is at stake now.

"LOOK OUT!"

Someone with a muscular build wrapped Misaki in his arms and dragged the brunette to the corner of the road from getting hit by the car. The stranger cradled Misaki in his arms afterwards. "Are you alright?"

Misaki was unable to see his saviour's face due to his blurred vision, but somehow he recognized the stranger's voice. "Had I ever heard this voice before...?"

"What the hell with that car, couldn't he see the stoplight!?" Another familiar voice came, but this one sounds younger.

"Oi, get a hold of yourself!" The stranger screamed as Misaki's eyelids went heavy and closed, he went limp in his arms. Misaki's consciousness completely drifted away as he felt the stranger's arms sliding under him and suddenly his small body floated upwards.

"Shinobu-chin, quick! Call Kamijou now!"

...

"Even though we shouldn't bomb a patient with a lot of questions, but there's a lot of things that I want to know from him..."

"That's the same for me too. But I guess we can after he had able to put his mind in ease, Hiro-san."

Why do I keep hearing familiar voices? Asked Misaki to himself as he regained his consciousness. He slowly fluttered his eyes open and he viewed the whole room. He found his demon professor was leaning against the wall and a blue haired young man sitting beside him.

"You awakened! Thank goodness..." said Nowaki as he helped Misaki to sit up and lean to a pillow at the brunette's back. "How are you feeling now, Misaki?"

"How did you know my name...?"

"Don't you remember? We have met before at the Halloween Night party. Umm... At that time, you were..."

Reminded of the party, Misaki blushed in deep red like a tomato due to embarrassment. He was crossdressing, which is one of the most embarrassing things he had done since he was born.

"No! I was...! I was...!" Misaki took the pillow behind him and hid his face under it.

"Haha, sorry." Nowaki took the pillow and put it back behind Misaki.

Misaki realized that he now was wearing nothing but a too large shirt for his size. "What happened to my clothes...?"

"Now they were in the dryer, you could catch a cold from wearing wet clothes. That's my shirt that you're wearing, I changed your clothes for you."

Misaki blushed again. This means that both of the pair that were currently with him in the same room had seen him naked, thus found out about his true gender.

"You're Akihiko's lover, right?" asked Hiroki with his arms crossed. "Your face is full with bruises, there's a small cut at your lips and your forehead is wounded. Is that his doings?"

"And while I was changing you, I saw a lot of bruises, red markings and hickeys at your body too. And your neck had lots of bite marks there. Does Usami-san the one who did that to you?" Nowaki had a long time tending on Misaki's injuries before the brunette woke up.

Misaki didn't say anything nor do anything as a reply. After a while, he quickly shook his head. "No... Akihiko-san hadn't do anything wrong! I'm completely fine with him..." he said while looking down.

He tried to brighten the situation by showing his usual childish and fun-loving attitude. "I know that he's very hard to deal sometimes, especially when pursuing him to eat the green peppers but he is not someone that will do something like this!"

Even so, Nowaki and Hiroki could clearly tell that he was lying. If not Akihiko, then who did it? Someone had been physically and sexually abused Misaki, and their highest doubt were placed on Akihiko.

"Kamijou! Has that kid woken up yet?" Miyagi entered the room, followed by Shinobu who was bringing a mug containing hot chocolate.

"Here." Shinobu handed the steaming hot mug to Misaki.

"Man, kid... If I hadn't stepped in, you would have gone to the Heaven now. That was so dangerous."

He carefully sipped on the hot drink until he finished it, then he turned to Miyagi. "You're the one who saved me, right? Thank you so much!" Misaki smiled in attempt to convince them that he was nothing to worry about.

They all had their sympathy to Misaki, as they knew that his smile is fake. They could see deep sadness in his dull and bloodshot eyes.

"No need to worry about me, even though I look like this, but I'm totally fine! If someone does something bad to me, I just call the police! Hahahaha!" Someone who knew Misaki well will understand that if he suddenly became more cheery than usual, then it means he's hiding something.

"I've called Akihiko. He will come and pick you up soon." said Hiroki while leaving. Nowaki also left the room, but then he returned with Misaki's dried clothes.

"Ah, thanks! I'm sorry for the troubles that I've caused for you guys..."

"What are you talking about? Everything happened not because you asked for it." said Shinobu as he left with Miyagi to let Misaki changed himself in the room.

...

The sound of the doorbell being pressed could be heard throughout the living room. Hiroki rushed to door and opened. "Akihiko!" he said, greeting his guest.

"Where's Misaki?" Akihiko asked in a stern tone of voice.

"Oh, Misaki? He's – " before Hiroki could continue his words, Akihiko verged inside and approached Misaki who was near to the door as he was going to leave the house.

"Akihiko-san..."

SMACK!

Hiroki, Nowaki, Miyagi and Shinobu were very shocked and devastated to hear that sound, followed by the sight of Akihiko slapping Misaki hard on the face, causing the brunette to fell on the floor.

"How dare of you to leave the house? You almost died back then, due to your ignorance. Are you trying to abandon me? How stupid of you to do so, as if I would let you."

"I'm... I'm sorry..." said Misaki with his voice shaking while his hand touched his swollen cheek after being hit.

The others suddenly had a strong urge to punch Akihiko, or even kill him for treating Misaki like that. Now they knew who did those horrible things to Misaki. Unconsciously, they all think of the same thing in their heads.

"That bastard..."

"Let's go home." Akihiko walked to the door, while Misaki raised himself by standing up. The brunette turned to Hiroki, Nowaki, Miyagi and Shinobu with a forced smile plastered on his face.

"Thank you for all of your kindness, I wish I could repay it someday." Misaki politely bowed to them. Feeling irritated, Akihiko harshly dragged the brunette by the arm and left the house.

This is one of the rare times where Hiroki, Nowaki, Miyagi and Shinobu had countless worries and concern for someone who is not their lover. They all wished that they could done something to save Misaki as now the only they could do is wishing the luck of him.

"Somebody must save Misaki from that monster!"
