8Here goes chapter 2! Aaaaand, ummm, sorry for not updating in a month but i kinda had a lot of exams T-T But, anyway, here's second chapter for your enjoyment ^_^
"Yukimura-san, do you know were Matsuoka-san is?" asked Hotaru.
"Huh? Tachibana-kun wants to know where Mattsun is? You seem so eager to see him..."
"No no no Yukimura-san! H-How can you think that Tachibana wants so-something like that?!" replied Hotaru, red and clearly flustered. "I just want to show Matsuoka-san my new gun"
"What do you mean with that? There's no need to hide it Tachibana-kun" said Yukki with an evil glare.
"Yukimura-san!"
"Ok ok, Mattsun won't be home until late. He's working right now, so you just have to wait"
At those words Tachibana pouted, angry that she couldn't show Matsuoka-san her new gun. Yukimura sighed and started climbing the stairs that lead to their flats. Apparently he was hiding quite well the events that had taken place hours before. Tachibana-kun had asked him about his obvious reddened eyes but he had been able to shrug it off. Tachibana-kun hadn't asked anything more after he had told him that it was probably because he had cried when he got the games. Thank god that Tachibana-kun was a good and respectful kid that didn't usually pry into others matters.
Talking about matters, his mind couldn't stop replying what happened. He felt ghost fingers all over his body, making him jumpy and uneasy. He couldn't stop griping the sleeves of his sweater in nervous fear. He also noticed Tachibana-kun throwing him a couple of worried glances. He needed to be alone. And a shower. Yukimura felt dirty even though he had showered that same morning. That bastard was trash and he had touched him. He needed to get rid of his presence on his body. Maybe the shower would make the uneasiness disappear. At least he hoped so.
"Yukimura-san, would you like to come inside and eat something? Maybe we could wait together for Matsuoka-san?"
Yukki looked at Hotaru. Ok, so maybe he had not hidden it that well. Hotaru was looking at him with a worried look. Yukki didn't want to upset Tachibana-kun but… right now there was no way he could trust himself in the presence of anyone.
"Sorry Tachibana-kun, I'd like to wait with you but I have to finish my work. The deadline is getting too close" Yukki said, voice wavering slightly. He walked to his apartment and opened the door but was halted.
"Yukimura-san… Are you okay?"
His eyes opened and he ceased all movement. Tears threatened to fall as he laughed nervously.
"What? Yeah, of course I'm okay Tachibana-kun. I-It's just that I'm tired, that's all" He said and before Hotaru could open his mouth again he got into his house and closed the door, sliding against it.
He let out a long sight and composed himself. That had been close. He couldn't let his guard down for any second. What had happened needed to be kept a secret. He would lose to Midori if Mattsun knew about those disgusting minutes at the gun store because just knowing that that had happened would hurt him. And that's what Midori wanted. To hurt Mattsun.
Once again he got to his feet, the game he was carrying slipped off of his grip, and he headed towards his bathroom. Yukki let the water of the shower fall, waiting for it to be as hot as he could stand. Once it was warm enough, he stripped and got inside the shower, gasping when the hot water hit his back. Grabbing a sponge, he scrubbed himself until his skin felt raw.
When he was finished, he put on another sweater and some pants before falling on his bed. He curled into himself. Even though the shower had helped, he still felt dirty.
Only in the solitude of his apartment, after having showered, he let the gravity of the events affect him. He started sobbing uncontrollably. He couldn't believe it. Midori really was a sadist. Finally, after what seemed a long time, Yukki fell asleep.
Masamune entered Yukki's house, using the spare key that Yukimura gave him time ago. Inside he noticed the discharged ecchi games in front of the door. 'That is really strange' he thought.
He called Yukki's name, waiting for an answer. When he got none, he begun walking towards Yukimura's bedroom. He supposed that Yukki would be sleeping. It was really late and he wouldn't have come here if it wasn't because Hotaru had told him that Yukki was acting strange. Well, more strange than per usual.
He thought that it probably would be nothing but when he walked into Yukki's room he instantly knew that something was wrong. Yukki was curled up on his bed without any covers. His eyes looked slightly red, as if he had been crying. Honestly, that sight made his heart ache painfully.
Masamune quietly approached Yukki, trying not to wake him up. That was the last thing he wanted to do. He ran his fingers through Yukimura's hair in a calming manner, watched his chest rise and fall with each breath. Sighing, he put the covers of the bed over Yukki and made his way out of the apartment. Whatever was the problem, it would have to wait until the next morning.
The morning light was what awoke Yukimura. He remained in his position for some time until he decided that he should do something more productive with his time. A slight headache, caused by all the crying of last night, made his task of standing harder that it usually was.
In a nearly blind and dizzy state he made his way towards the bathroom, searching for some pills to ease the hammering inside his head. Once the pills were swallowed up, he redirected himself towards the kitchen.
He wasn't in the mood to cook anything so he settled for some cereals. He carried them to his room and sat down with the bowl of cereals between his legs. He managed to eat a couple of spoonfuls before he heard the door leading outside of his house being unlocked.
His hand froze in midair, his mind racing, thinking about a thousand possible outcomes and finally settling in Midori. Sheer panic expanded all over his body, spoon falling off of his fingers. Fast breaths escaped his mouth and his eyes where two big orbs.
"Yukki? Are you awake?"
Mattsun's voice stopped his panic attack. He relaxed, knowing that it was just his best friend, it wasn't Midori. He reprimanded himself, unable to comprehend why he was so scared of that scumbag.
"Mattsun, I'm here"
He watched as Masamune opened his bedroom's door and let himself in. Mattsun sat in front of Yukimura, looking him in the eyes. Yukki didn't like that look, Matssun's seemed worried. Did Tachibana-kun say something to him the night before? It was a possibility.
"Mattsun, did Tachibana-kun show you his new gun? He seemed so happy" Yukki tried to slide the attention off of himself.
"What? Yes, he showed it to me for half an hour. He even named it, not that I can say anything about naming guns" Masamune laughed "He seemed really happy, I'm glad my plan for obtaining his gun worked"
"It was a risk Mattsun, Tachibana could have lost"
"But he didn't, did he?" Replied Mattsun with a smirk on his face.
"Hmmm" was all Yukimura said.
An uncomfortable silence fell over both mans. Neither of them dared to speak. That was until…
"Yukki, what happened yesterday? Tachibana told me something was wrong and you look as if you've been crying"
And there was the feared question. He knew it would come. It was inevitable.
"I already told Tachibana-kun that it was nothing Mattsun. And the red eyes are because I cried when I got the games. He is exaggerating"
"Do you mean those games that you've carelessly thrown in front of you door?"
In front of his door? When did he let the games there? He nearly didn't remember anything from last night. Now he knew why he had asked himself where he had let the games at.
"Well I-I was tired and-"
"And what? Yukimura, you don't forget where you have left a game like that. You love games like that. Hell, you have bruises in you wrists so what happened?"
Yukki glanced down, registering the dark bruises decorating his wrists. How could he have not noticed? At that moment Yukki decided that he couldn't lie to Mattsun, but at the same time he couldn't tell him about those disgusting moments. So he settled for telling him part of the truth.
"I… I ran into Midori at the store"
Mattsun's body stiffened. His eyes opened in realization and his hands clenched and unclenched.
"What did he do to you?"
'Ahhh, there it is' Yukki thought. He could feel anger coming out of Mattsun. The same Mattsun that would be petrified when Midori just came into view. He knew that Mattsun really didn't care if Midori hurt him, but if he hurt one of his friends then that was another thing.
"H-He did nothing" Liar "He just said some mean things" Liar, why won't you tell the truth? "I was angry and tried to punch him but he grabbed me by my wrist and immobilized me" You are a disgusting liar. Disgusting, just like him "That's probably what caused the bruising" Probably? You definitely know that that's what caused the bruises "A-and, that's all Mattsun, I was just upset after that" Liar, you don't deserve to be his friend, you are betraying him.
Yukki glanced down, avoiding eye contact, willing his brain to just shut up. He wasn't a liar. He just couldn't tell the whole truth. He just couldn't.
"Yukki, he did something" Masamune sighed "All that, all the things the he could have said are something. He left you bruises, goddammit!" Mattsun hit the ground with his fist "I can't believe he did that"
Then warmth was wrapping Yukimura. Mattsun was hugging him close, a hand resting in his head.
"Yukki, whatever he has said, forget it. He is just a sadistic bastard that enjoys causing pain, it's not worth to be upset because of him, do you understand me?"
Yukimura welcomed the hug, inching closer to Masamune. He wanted to melt into it and he clutched Mattsun's shirt, refusing to let go. He felt his hand messing his hair and that feeling nearly made him come undone. He wanted to scream, he wanted to let it go, to tell him how disgusting he felt but instead he swallowed it up and willed himself to say a soft 'yeah' in response. Liar. You don't say anything but lies. Disgusting. Just as him. At this point he couldn't refuse his brain. He was lying to his best friend. Indeed, he was a liar.
Eventually, they separated and after some small talk Mattsun had to go. After saying goodbye and another hug, Yukki returned to his bedroom. He looked at the neglected bowl of cereals. Suddenly, they didn't look as appealing as before..
I really hope you liked it! I'm sorry for making Yukki suffer (he must hate me, sorry Yukki) but well, let's be honest: I enjoy it uehehee ewe
Also next chapter Midori will make an appearance since it will be based in episode 8 of the anime ^_^ We'll have more of our sadist being a sadist (poor Yukki)
