A Signer's Destiny
Chapter Seven
By Kellyq
Yusei closed his eyes for a brief moment, placing his fist over his heart, that was pounding painfully in his chest. It was his and Jack's turn to watch, and Yusei was staring at the stars instead of focusing on anything suspicious.
Kiryu closed his eyes and tears slid down his face."Why won't you let me go nor listen to me?" he opened his eyes, there was a lot of anger and hate still fixed in the., "I'm tired of this! I want to end what we have!"
The room was dead silent and shock was written on their faces. Yusei stared at his boyfriend, stunned. Then he remembered what Jack proposed that he should do.
"If that's how you feel, why didn't you flat out tell me? Do you like playing with my feelings? I do love you! You know that I would do anything for you - even protect you, right?"
Kiryu sneered, "so you call standing back as the guards beat the shit out of me, protecting me. What about when the spider bit me, is that protection too - as far as I'm concerned, you're just a weakling!"
"Kiryu ..." he murmured sadly, "I'm so sorry."
"Kiryu needs to apologize," came Jack's voice. He sat down next to his friend, "not you."
Yusei sighed, "I guess so."
Jack growled and gave his friend a sharp glare. He was so tempted to slap his friend but he wanted to come up with a better way to get through to him, "damnit Yusei! I don't understand why you still want to be with Kiryu! He's going to end up hurting you in the worse way possible!" Yusei glared back as half of his expression darkened, "I know that you're scared and hurt - and don't deny that you are!" Jack pulled his sleeve up to show the mark on his arm, "because I can feel it!"
Just as Jack said those words, their marks glowed. It was a soft glow, and they didn't feel any pain at all. Yusei lifted his arm and pulled the sleeve back and Jack couldn't help but stare at Yusei's mark.
Yusei lowered his head and his expression darkened. He was about to pull the sleeve down, but Jack stopped him by holding onto his wrist and elbows. The two Signer's stared at each other for a moment, and for the first time, Yusei could feel Jack's emotions.
"I guess you can say that I am scared," Yusei admitted, "I'm not scared for myself. I'm scared for Kiryu. The last thing I want is to lose him ...." he lowered his gaze, "even though I know that I'm slowly losing him already."
Kiryu opened his eyes to see Carly sitting next to him. She didn't look too pleased. "What do you want now, woman?"
"Do you really hate Yusei?" she asked softly. "When you -"
"Don't even bother getting the real answer," came Misty's voice from the other side, "he's not going to be honest about how he feels."
"Fine! I don't really hate Yusei. I just want him to stay away from me until we find out who this Rudger guy is ..."
"Why didn't you just say that to him before?" Carly suggested.
"And you think Yusei would listen," Misty spoke up, "he's a fighter. When someone is in need he'll stop at nothing to make sure that person is safe."
"That's the reason why I had to say those things ..."
"What about you trying to kill yourself?" Carly asked, "were you really going to do that?"
Kiryu stared down at the mark on his arm and growled. He hated this. It gave him nothing but humiliation and hate toward people who didn't seem to understand how he felt.
