The school's cafeteria

Roki yelped when he felt Mikazaru jerk his hand back really quickly, pulling it out of his and turning away from the boy. He blinked in confusion wondering what he had done wrong. As far as he knew he had donw nothing. Yeah he was sure Mika would be upset about sitting in the nurses office for a few hours but at least he hadn't had to go to school.
“You wasted my time, Roki, seriously. Thanks  to you I didn't go to two of classes and now they will think I have skipped class on purpose, and now I will probably get into trouble, and you, too. Do you really to get into an argument with the teachers, hmm?”
Roki whimpered and tucked his arms behind his back and looked at the ground. He kicked his feet against the ground and wished he could disappear. 'Why is he so mad...? I didn't think I did anything to upset him... Wasn't he worried about my heath...?'
“But fine, show me the cafeteria if you want to, though I already know where it is.”
Roki felt tears form in his tiny orbs and it was a very hard for him to stop them from falling. “I'm sorry... I...” His voice broke off into a sob sob and he quickly closed his mouth to stop any more from coming.
He felt really bad now for what he had done and the nurse hadn't seemed to happy with him either. He was scared to go to class and hadn't really wanted to come here in the first place. Really his Nana had forced him to and he was starting to hate being there again.
“Let's go. Show me the cafeteria...”


Roki looked up, slowly raising his head as he watched the boy walk past him. He didn't know why the boy had said to show him where to go if he already knew and seemed to be headed in that way anyway.
He sighed and sniffled as he finally couldn't hold them back anymore and started to cry softly. “...So now everyone is gonna be mad at me...?” He whispered softly.
Roki took a few steps towards where Mika was going but stopped as he start to think more. “So... It's gonna be just like dad...? They're all gonna yell at me and hate me and... and... Hit me...” He closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground remebering all that his father had done to him. All the beatings, all the  screaming, all the things Roki should never know about at his young age.
Quickly he scrabbled to his feet and started to run. He bumped into a girl and screamed out in fear as he looked at her. Seeing it was just a girl he swallowed. “I-I'm sorry...”
Without waiting for a response from her he took off again. Just before Mikazaru entered the lunch room Roki tackled him from behind and buried his face in the back of the boys shirt. “Please don't let them get me!” He whispered franktic now, his breathing had become uneasy and he started to panic badly. “No no no! God please no! Mika, Nii Nii I don't want it! Please no! I don't want it again! Don't let them! Not again Not again... Not again...”
He sobbed into the boys shirt gripping it tightly and whispered the same few words over and over again. “No... please no... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... sorry...”

‘’Are you sure? To tell you the truth I got bored quickly waiting for you~ How can I be sure you won't run off and leave me hanging?’’, Hikaru asked and Shun looked at him in confusion, only for a moment, before grinning at him, smiling after that.
‘’Of course I won't do that. It's a promise.’’, he said, his smile growing bigger. He watched how Hikaru passed him and waved for him, telling him to follow him. Shun followed him but stopped when Hikaru did the same, and looked at the boy in confusion. Hikaru was staring at him, and Shun wondered why, what had gotten into him. It didn't take that long however before Hikaru snapped out of it again and seemed rather ashamed.
‘’S-so you going to keep me waiting for food or what? I mean I don't have to beg do I, Takeru?’’, he said and Shun frowned at him, feeling like he should say something, but he decided to shrug it off and went after the boy again, keeping his mouth shut. ‘’Hurry it up slow poke~’’
Shun sighed and followed Hikaru, shrugging slightly. He still kept his mouth shut, not wanting to get into a fight with Hikaru, because he had the feeling they would if he said anything now about the staring. ‘’He's been acting strange today... first that almost kiss and now he just stared at me. What's up with him?’’, Shun asked himself in his thoughts, telling himself he didn't know the answer, but maybe he did; he just didn't want to think about it.




He stepped into the school's cafeteria, looking around for Jeamesero. Turning his head he looked at Hikaru, a smile on his face, but his eyes held an expression like he was worried, or impatient. ‘’I was going to meet my younger brother here, but I don't see him yet...’’, he mumbled, standing beside the boy. ‘’Maybe we could look for a table and a few seats near the entrance of the room. Then we will be able to see him coming in.’’
Shun turned away and moved over to a table with free seats, taking one of them and resting his back against the wall as he sat. he rested his legs on the seat beside him and then patted the table, smiling at Hikaru.
‘’Come, take a seat, we will wait for him, here.’’, he said, staring at the entrance. He started staring, waiting for his brother Jeamesero, while his feet rested on the seat and his hand on the table. ‘’Do you want anything to eat from the cafeteria? I can buy something for you, for all of us.’’, he mumbled, absent minded. Shun didn't look up at Hikaru as he spoke, even though it was meant for him. All he did was look at the hallway, his eyes searching for his little brother.
‘’I hope he's not stuck in class... What if something has happened and the teacher has kept the students inside the room or told him to stay there for a while longer? Break only takes thirty minutes, he needs to eat something before his next class starts.’’, Shun thought, biting his lip slightly at all the bad possibilities he could think of. He really hoped Jeamesero would be here, soon.
But that's when he saw a girl in normal clothing, not a school uniform, hiding behind someone; the person she was hiding behind looked quite a lot like Jeamesero, and he wondered if it was him. Getting to his feet he stared at the boy and the girl, opening his mouth to speak.
‘’Jeames, is that you? I'm here.’’, he said, waiting for a response.

Jeamesero reached the cafeteria and walked beside Airamyst, looking around for his Nii Nii, Shun. He turned around in circles, making sure to have seen every single spot of the room. However, his attention was caught by Airamyst, who suddenly spoke to him.
‘’It's loud in here isn't it? Only me and you seem to have manners here.’’, the boy asked and Jeamesero looked at him in a daze, nodding. ‘’Yeah, it's always like that.’’, Jeamesero responded, a weak smile on his face. It wasn't like he didn't want to speak to Airamyst, but right now he was searching for his older brother, and he wanted to find him before lunch break was over.
Suddenly his hand got grabbed and Jeamesero's head shot around, looking at the boy in shock and confusion; he hadn't expected someone to grab his hand while he was searching. Airamyst jumped up and down giggling, asking about Shun, and Jeamesero smiled.
‘’Hey do you see Nii Nii? I really wanna meet him and his friend~’’, he asked and Jeamesero shook his head, looking around again, quite confused because he didn't see Shun yet. ‘’No, not yet... I'm still looking for him...’’
Suddenly Airamyst yelped and hid behind Jeamesero, and Jeamesero looked up in confusion at him, wondering why Airamyst had suddenly done that. That's when he saw the boys from earlier, out of the corner of his eyes, who had pulled up Airamyst's skirt when Jeamesero had met him in the hallway.
‘’Please tell me you see him... He's big right?’’, Airamyst mumbled and Jeamesero giggled.
‘’Don't worry, they're not gonna get you. I will protect you~’’, Jeamesero lied; there was a huge smile on his face, but it was a lie because he was afraid of those boys, they seemed mean; and Jeamesero didn't want Airamyst to worry anymore about those students or feel afraid. ‘’And he's pretty tall, yeah. My head reaches to his shoulders. He's tall with long black hair just like me.’’


‘’Jeames, is that you? I'm here.’’, a voice suddenly called and Jeamesero looked up, following the sound of the voice. When he saw a boy standing there near a table a huge smile spread across his face and he dashed over to the boy, recognizing him as Shun.
‘’Nii Nii!’’, he said, running towards Shun with his arms spread out. He bumped into the boy and wrapped his arms around him, hugging him tight; he pressed his head against Shun's chest and closed his eyes, his smile even brighter. ‘’I missed you, Nii Nii!’’
He pulled back from their hug and turned around to look at Airamyst, running back and grabbing the boy's arm, trying to pull him along. ‘’Airamyst come! That's my Nii Nii, my Nii Nii is here~ Come meet him~’’, he said, running back towards Shun, hoping Airamyst would follow him. Again he hugged Shun, giggling, before pulling back once more and jumping up and down in front of the boy, truly excited to see him. ‘’Nii Nii, I brought a friend! I brought a friend! You wanna meet him-’’, he said, before shutting himself up. He remembered Airamyst dressed like a girl, so he probably wanted to be addressed as one, as well. Because, after all he had been lying to Jeamesero about his gender as well. ‘’I mean.... her?’’

Mikazaru was on his way to the cafeteria, tired of this whole day already. He nervously looked around him, hoping he wouldn't bump into any teachers, because he was afraid they would scold him. He didn't pay any attention to Roki who walked behind him; his mind wasn't really anywhere right now.
Suddenly he heard a noise and turned his head to see Roki sitting in the ground, and he frowned, a bit worried about the boy. ‘’What's wrong with him?’’, he thought, turning around to look at the boy, but soon enough Roki got to his feet again and followed him again, so Mikazaru decided to turn around and move forward once more. ‘’Weird kid.’’
The cafeteria was in sight and Mikazaru sped up a bit, wanting to get some food; the food here wasn't that good, but at least it was cheap; Mikazaru could save up his money if he kept coming here for lunch, instead of going out to the town to a cafe or whatever.
Before he was able to enter the cafeteria someone suddenly hit him from behind, grabbing him and burying their face into his shirt. Mikazaru's head shot around, looking down at the person; Roki. ‘’Roki, what...?’’
‘’Please don't let them get me! No no no! God please no! Mika, Nii Nii I don't want it! Please no! I don't want it again! Don't let them! Not again Not again... Not again... No... please no... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... sorry...’’, the kid screamed out, sobbing in Mikazaru's shirt. Mikazaru looked at him in confusion, before turning around and kneeling down to Roki's eye level, grabbing the kid's shoulders.
‘’Sssh it's okay. Roki, its okay. Stop crying, why are you crying? What do you mean with again? Please calm down...’’
He sighed and let go of Roki's shoulders, getting to his feet and pulling the younger boy up on his own. ‘’I will get you something to eat in the cafeteria. I mean, I guess you have no money so I should pay for it.’’


He looked down at Roki and sighed, before grabbing the boy's hand and telling him to follow him. He then stepped into the cafeteria and dragged Roki along, a faint blush on his face because he felt rather ashamed for walking hand in hand with a little kid.
Some other students seemed to notice it and looked at Mikazaru, grinning and pointing at him, some where laughing while others were simply whispering. Mikazaru looked away, feeling more and more ashamed by the second.
Reaching the counter he stopped and let go of Roki's hand, greeting the woman standing beside the counter who took care of the food. He looked at the menu for today, wanting to know what he could buy today; he could get a hotdog; it tasted rather synthetic but it was food, and it was junk food and Mikazaru always liked that better than healthy foods like sandwiches or fruit.
‘’Have you made your choice, dearies?’’, the woman asked and Mikazaru smiled, nodding at her, taking out his money already and searching for the money for his meal. ‘’What do you want to eat, Roki? I will pay for it.’’, he asked, looking down at the boy. ‘’I don't mind if you want two hotdogs or whatever, go ahead.’’, he lied; he actually didn't want Roki to choose much because he wanted to save up his money, but he guessed Roki wanted to eat a lot now because he was sad, so he decided to just give the boy what he wanted.
He turned his head as he waited for an answer, looking around the cafeteria for a moment. That's when his eyes fell on this boy, realizing he knew him from somewhere. It was the boy from before, the one he had bumped into when he had walked through the hallway. The one with the long black hair and the two different colored eyes. Mikazaru ended up staring at him, getting lost in his daydreams like he mostly did.

Daigo stepped through the hallway, his hands in his pockets and his brown leather boots slamming on the floor as he had an annoyed look on his face; a few students who passed him stared at him, others took a few steps back, trying to avoid him. Certain girls huffed at him and turned around, leaving but Daigo didn't pay any attention to anyone of them; he was on his way to the school's cafeteria and no one's gonna stop him. He flipped off a few people who whispered at each other before stepping into the great room they called the cafeteria.
With cut eyes he stared at the people around him, looking for familiar faces, just to be able to avoid them. He saw his cousins Shun and Jeamesero, a girl and a boy sitting near them and this other girl not wearing a uniform, hiding behind Jeamesero. He huffed at her; not wearing a uniform was his idea of protest against the school rules, why did she steal his idea? ‘’Guess there are more like me? Maybe I should ask her out after school, ha.’’, he thought, eyes held on the girl with long blond hair. ‘’At least she can't be Jeamesero's girl, right? I mean, that kid can't even make friends.’’
Daigo turned towards the counter, where the menu was. He stepped forward, pushing a few students out of line, including this one boy around his age who was just trying to order something, accompanied by a little kid who didn't seem older than twelve, maybe; a young student? Very young, probably; one that was smart; the type of student Daigo disliked the most.
He pushed both boys aside, standing in between them and looking at the woman behind the counter, grabbing the few spare coins he had left. ‘’Give me a hotdog with curry and a sandwich with cheese, please.’’, he simply said, not looking at the two pushed he had just pushed aside. ‘’...Please. I'm starving.’’
‘’First of all, boy; you're not wearing a uniform, so I'm not sure if you are part of this school, so I cannot give you your order. Secondly; you just cut in line, which is rude and lastly; you don't have enough coins for both of them. So you better get going now, or should I call a teacher?’’, the woman behind the counter said and Daigo hissed at her, taking a step back. A teacher? No, he didn't want to be found and forced to take class.


‘’I am part of this school, I'm just too lazy to dress into my uniform. The name's Daigo Tategami. Look it up in the student list and you will see. Now please, just give me a hotdog, then.’’, Daigo responded, feeling watched, he was nervous. The woman shook her head, shrugging.
‘’Sorry boy, no chance. I don't have a computer here to look st the student list, and you don't even have enough coins for a simple hotdog. And you cut in line, you're still considered rude. Please go, boy.’’
‘’I'm not a boy! I'm eighteen!’’, Daigo called out in frustration, his short temper getting the best of him. He groaned and rubbed his head with both hs hands, running his fingers through his hair and feeling really really uneasy. ‘’Fine! Whatever!’’
Turning around he walked off, his eyes falling on Shun who was talking to Jeamesero and that certain girl who didn't wear her uniform either. Daigo guessed Shun had money, since the boy had a job at a small cafe in town, so he decided to talk to him.
‘’Shun, you, here, right now. Listen to me.’’, Daigo said as he marched over to the boy, grabbing Shun by his sleeve and pulling at it impatiently, like a little kid begging their parents for something. ‘’You have money, right? Go get me a hotdog, I will pay you back later. Please man, please. I'm fucking starving.’’

Daigo kept pulling at Shun's sleeve, trying to get the boy's attention; he was going to get Shun to pay for this hotdog, if the boy wanted to or not. He was gonna make it happen. ‘’Hey Shun, come on. Be a good cousin and pay for me, I really need food, I'm so hungry. Please, please please.’’, he begged, a grin appearing on his face. ‘’You know I will steal it from you anyway if you decide to refuse. Pay or no pay, I will get your money. I will take it from you.’’
He pulled again and again, almost able to rip off Shun's sleeve; he began to grew impatient, angry, frustrated. He stared at the boy, his face growing more and more annoyed. ‘’Come on, don't waste our times, pay that hotdog for me already.’’
suddenly, however, a boy came forward and spoke to Daigo, pushing his hand away from Shun's sleeve and flipping him off. ‘’I'm sorry. Who the hell are you? Don't order people around or beg them for stuff. I don't like how your talking to Takeru. Go work on something or ask someone else and don't pester my bo- I mean Takeru, Jackass!’’
The touch, the touch was all that made Daigo look up at him, that horrible touch. No one touched him when he didn't ask for it, no one. Daigo stared at the boy, a furious look in his eyes, an insane look. He bit his bottom lip, clenching his fist as he let go of Shun's sleeve finally and took a step forward towards the boy who had touched him.
‘’Just so you know, your 'Takeru' is my cousin. I can ask of him whatever I want.’’, he began, his voice growing lower in tone, his face angrier; he took another step forward.
Suddenly this girl stood in front of him, the girl not wearing her school uniform. She held out a hot dog to him, before placing it on the table. ‘’You wanted dis, mister? I gots it for you.’’, she said before turning to Jeamesero and Daigo huffed at her, annoyed even more now. ‘’Get lost you bitch, you're distracting me.’’, he said angry, before turning his attention back to the boy that had dared to touch him.


The boy however had turned around already and was talking to this girl who had been sitting beside him. ‘’Hey, look at me when I'm fucking talking to you, asshole! Don't talk to your girlfriend when you're about to get squashed!’’, he yelled, not really waiting anymore for a response from the boy; he was done, this boy was going to die by his hands right here right now. ‘’Listen to me you fucker! You can say to me whatever you want! But. You. Do. Not. Fucking. Touch. Me!’’
Daigo raised his clenched fist, bringing it forward towards the boy's face. He slammed him against his cheek, running I not the boy and knocking him over. Pushing the boy in the ground he sat on top of him and starting beating his face over and over, angry groans leaving his closed mouth, through his gritting teeth.
‘’Piece of shit! Piece of shit! Piece of shit!’’, he yelled out, hitting the boy in the face over and over, using both his fists now.
Getting tired of the hitting he pulled back for only a slight moment, panting heavily as he tried to regain his strength, before leaning over the boy and reaching both his hands for his throat, pushing hard. ‘’You messed with the wrong person, asshole! I even made the youth's army's general cry! You better not fuck with me!’’, he yelled furious as he strangled the boy.

Shun waited for the boy to answer him, he stood there staring at him; he now realized it was Jeamesero, but he wondered if the boy had heard his call and noticed him yet. It seemed like Shun didn't have to wait long, though, because Jeamesero turned his head to look at him, and right at that time the boy came rushing over to him, arms spread.
‘’Nii Nii! I missed you, Nii Nii!’’, the younger boy said excitedly as he ran over to him. Seeing Jeamesero's arms reaching out to him Shun chuckled in response and automatically opened up his arms as well, taking the boy into his arms and hugging him back, patting his head. Ever since he had accepted Jeamesero as his brother,, even after never meeting him before, they had greeted each other like this; it was a good feeling to feel loved by someone like this. That's why Shun accepted Jeamesero as his younger half brother, that's why he returned the hug.
‘’I missed you too, little Jeames~’’, he said lovingly, patting the boy's head once more affectionately before he felt Jeamesero pull back. He watched the kid run over to this girl who didn't wear her school uniform, before dragging the girl along to him.
‘’Nii Nii, I brought a friend! I brought a friend! You wanna meet him- I mean.... her?’’, Jeamesero said and Shun looked at the girl called Airamyst, suspecting something. He raised an eyebrow as he looked at her, but soon smiled at her. ‘’Him? Or Jeamesero just really made a mistake just now by accident or this Airamyst doesn't want others to know about 'her' little secret. Whatever it is, he or she is a human being like everyone else.’’, he thought, watching the person bow to him, pulling at the edges of their skirt.
‘’Hewwo... Um... My name is Airamyst. Please to meet you, Nii Nii. Thanks so much for letting me come eat with you, Nii Nii. I promise to be on my best behavior and I will buy my own foods~’’, Airamyst said and Shun chuckled. ‘’Don't need to bow, it's fine. It's nice to meet you. And know you can tell me anything if you want to. If you want me to be your Nii Nii too I don't mind~’’, Shun responded. Airamyst said they were gonna get a salad and so they left, and Hikaru came up to stand beside him.


‘’Aww this him, Takeru? He's kinda cute. Wait you did say brother, right? Your cute enough to pass as a girl.’’, Hikaru said to Jeamesero, patting the boy's head now, too. However, after he saw Airamyst he kind of hid behind him again, afraid. Shun wanted to tell him it was alright, but his eyes caught a familiar face coming their way, one he did greatly dislike; his cousin Daigo. This meant trouble again...
‘’Shun, you, here, right now. Listen to me. You have money, right? Go get me a hotdog, I will pay you back later. Please man, please. I'm fucking starving.’’, Daigo said upon reaching him, grabbing his sleeve and pulling at it multiple times, and he kept on going and begging. ‘’Hey Shun, come on. Be a good cousin and pay for me, I really need food, I'm so hungry. Please, please please. You know I will steal it from you anyway if you decide to refuse. Pay or no pay, I will get your money. I will take it from you. Come on, don't waste our times, pay that hotdog for me already.’’, he kept on saying and Shun stared at him in anger. He was ready to pull back his arm but suddenly Hikaru was by his side, pushing Daigo's hand away. Shun's head shot towards Hikaru, staring at him in shock and fear; this would really become trouble if Daigo was in a bad mood he would kill the boy... ‘’No Hikaru, no... Why did you...? No...’’
‘’I'm sorry. Who the hell are you? Don't order people around or beg them for stuff. I don't like how your talking to Takeru. Go work on something or ask someone else and don't pester my bo- I mean Takeru, Jackass!’’, Hikaru told Daigo, before turning to face this girl with reddish hair Shun hadn't even seen yet; he felt stupid for not noticing her earlier, but he felt proud of Hikaru for facing his biggest fear, literally. Though also a bit afraid for Hikaru's stupid behavior towards Daigo.


Feeling like he should say something to Daigo Airamyst suddenly returned with a salad and a hotdog and showed the hotdog to Daigo, like they wanted it to give it to him. But Daigo didn't seem amused by it, he only seemed to grow more frustrated. Shun braced himself for impact, ready to step in between the two if something would happen.
But Daigo seemed to scold off Airamyst before turning his attention back to Hikaru, screaming at the boy. ‘’Just so you know, your 'Takeru' is my cousin. I can ask of him whatever I want. Hey, look at me when I'm fucking talking to you, asshole! Don't talk to your girlfriend when you're about to get squashed! Listen to me you fucker! You can say to me whatever you want! But. You. Do. Not. Fucking. Touch. Me!’’, Daigo yelled and he suddenly punched Hikaru in the face, rushing forward and knocking the boy over, pushing him on the ground.
Shun hadn't expected everything to go this fast and he gasped, taking a step back and watching the scene of horror unfold in front of his eyes. Daigo had Hikaru pushed down on the floor and was hitting him with both fists multiple times, screaming out at him. ‘’Piece of shit! Piece of shit! Piece of shit! You messed with the wrong person, asshole! I even made the youth's army's general cry! You better not fuck with me!’’
Suddenly this girl entered the circle and Shun got distracted by her; it seemed like she had been lost in her thoughts and hadn't noticed the fight, stepping straight into it. The girl appeared shocked as she dropped her stuff. ‘’You, please get back, it isn't save here right now!’’, he said to the girl, before turning his head back to look at the two boys again, noticing Daigo was now strangling Hikaru. Shun stared in shock before snapping out of it, tears started to fill his heterochromea eyes and he rushed over to the two. ‘’DAIGO, LET HIM GO! YOU'RE HURTING HIM!’’
Shun kicked Daigo in his stomach and side a few times, before reaching down and grabbing the boy's greenish hair, pulling at it. He tried to get the boy off of Hikaru, wishing this hadn't happened, wishing he could have prevented it. He was terrified something might happen to Hikaru. ‘’LET HIM GO, DON'T HURT HIKARU YOU ASSHOLE!’’, he screamed at his cousin, tears streaming down his face as he sobbed. ‘’LET. HIM. GO!!’’
He pushed him off, kicking a few times more; he then rushed over to Hikaru, kneeling down beside him crying and trying to help him sit up straight. ‘’It's okay, it's okay, you're safe now... I'm here... I'm... I'm sorry... I... I should have acted sooner but I was afraid... I... I'm sorry... are you okay...?’’

Jeamesero smiled at Shun as the boy and Airamyst met; they seemed to be able to get along just fine. Airamyst spoke about getting a salad and ran off, and then this boy came towards Jeamesero and Shun, patting Jeamesero on the head.
‘’Aww this him, Takeru? He's kinda cute. Wait you did say brother, right? Your cute enough to pass as a girl.’’, the boy said as he patted his head and Jeamesero looked up at him in confusion before giggling softly. ‘’Really?’’, he asked, curious, before smiling brightly at the boy. ‘’T-thank you...’’
He didn't really know what else to say; most people often called him cute, but he had never been called as cute as a girl before. It was something new, but the boy kind of liked the compliment; he now felt even cuter.
Hearing foot steps Jeamesero turned his head to see his cousin Daigo suddenly coming towards them. The boy immediately went over to Shun and grabbed the boy's sleeve, pulling at it, talking to him, begging him. Jeamesero took a few steps back as Daigo begged Shun to buy him food, he was terrified of the older boy, he really didn't like Daigo.
Soon Shun's friend pushed Daigo's hand away and thy spoke, and Daigo grew angry, threatening the boy. Jeamesero swallowed, moving over to Shun and hiding behind him, watching the arguing. Luckily Airamyst returned with his salad and even a hotdog, because they both had heard Daigo beg Shun for one. However, Daigo didn't seem amused by Airamyst's offer and called the boy a bitch. Jeamesero hoped Airamyst didn't feel sad about that, because he hated to see the boy sad. Airamyst moved over to him and grabbed his hand, smiling at Jeamesero.
‘’Wanna sit next to me?’’, he asked and Jeamesero looked at him in confusion, before nodding his head slowly. ‘’Y-yeah sure.’’, he responded, but his mind was somewhere else. He watched how the fight escalated quickly, and before he knew it Daigo was yelling at Shun's friend.


‘’Hey, look at me when I'm fucking talking to you, asshole! Don't talk to your girlfriend when you're about to get squashed! Listen to me you fucker! You can say to me whatever you want! But. You. Do. Not. Fucking. Touch. Me!’’, Daigo screamed and suddenly he rushed into the boy, punching him in the face and pushing him to the ground, hitting him many times.
Jeamesero screamed, gripping Airamyst's hand tight; he watched how a girl who seemed to be lost accidentally stepped into the red zone, and soon enough Daigo was strangling the boy and Shun was telling the girl to get back and kicked Daigo. It all happened so quickly, Jeamesero didn't know where to look and he started crying, tears streaming down his face. He sobbed and let go of Airamyst's hand, hiding his face behind both his own. ‘’Stop it! Stop it! Please stop!’’, he cried out, feeling so terrified; he didn't want this.
Meanwhile Shun was attacking Daigo and screaming at him, and this girl with long red hair dragged away the other girl who had accidentally stepped into the fight. Shun seemed to manage Daigo and help Hikaru, but Jeamesero was still utterly shocked and terrified, confused and sad.
‘’Hey, I'm Decoris, Why don't you and your friend come stand with me? Hmm?’’, the long haired girl said, speaking to Airamyst. Jeamesero lowered his hands and looked at her with big wet innocent eyes, hiding behind Airamyst as he felt really nervous and uncomfortable. He looked at Airamyst and back at the girl called Decoris before swallowing and nodding.
‘’Y-yes, ma'am...’’, he whispered, before his eyes fell on the other girl with red hair, but hers was short compared to Decoris'. ‘’A-are you alright, as well...?’’
Then his eyes fell on Shun who was kneeling beside his friend and helping him up, and he felt like rushing over to see if they were okay. But noticing Daigo there laying on the ground, he was too afraid to go there, so instead he just sort of screamed at his half brother. ‘’Nii Nii... is he okay...? Please say he's okay...’’

Daigo didn't hold back, he was strangling the boy and he was going all the way, making sure nothing would be left of him after he was done kicking the shit out of him. Drool dripped down along his jaws; he was this pissed off at the boy for flipping him off but especially touching him when he didn't want to be touched.
‘’Fucking pig!’’, he yelled at the boy; he could hear people cheering in the background and that gave him a boost, the strength to continue this fight. He also heard crying, but he didn't pay any attention to that.
‘’DAIGO, LET HIM GO! YOU'RE HURTING HIM! LET HIM GO, DON'T HURT HIKARU YOU ASSHOLE! LET. HIM. GO!!’’, Shun suddenly rushed in screaming and Daigo felt a few great kicks against his side and in his stomach. His grip around the boy's throat became less tight but he kept holding on, not wanting to give in to the pain he felt right now. He groaned, trying to push further, but as soon as Shun grabbed his hair and pulled Daigo screamed out in pain, letting go of the boy's throat and rolling on the ground. He was kicked a few more times and shoved aside, pushed back. He laid there groaning as he glanced with fury at Shun who now knelt down beside the boy and tried to help him; he seemed to cry. ‘’So pathetic... stupid asshole...’’
‘’You filth! Not showing up in my class and now you're here causing a fight and punching someone else till he bleeds!? You come with me right now and we will have a serious talk! Get up! And don't you dare do anything against me! Keep an eye on him, care for him. And you come with me, mister Tategami. Hurry up.’’, a person suddenly said and Daigo was pulled by his his shirt by someone. Looking up at his 'attacker' he saw it was a teacher; his economics teacher, Mr Allen. Daigo huffed and stuck his tongue out at him, but didn't do anything to get rid of the man or to free himself. He followed the teacher silently, even though now he felt horrible because he was busted and had to attend to school anyway. As he left the scene he flipped off Shun and the wounded boy with his free hand before turning his head and walking off. ‘’You, mister, just ruined my day and now I'm craving for s smoke again. I will make sure to punish you...’’
‘’Yes sir...’’, he whispered, rolling his eyes at the man's words. ‘’Great, now I'm stuck with this no-life asshole...’’, he thought, feeling extremely annoyed.

Roki whimpered and nuzzled his face against Mika's shirt as he sobbed softly. He was terrorifed of what might happen. If they did anything like his father did when he was angry at Roki. Suddenly he felt Mika move and turn to him, causing him to let go of the boys shirt. He sniffled and held his own hand tightly as he at the biy, who had knelt down to look at eye level with him.
“Sssh it's okay. Roki, it okay. Stop crying, why are you crying? What do you mean with again? Please calm down...”
Roki hiccuped as his chest jolted a few times quickly and he tried to force himself to calm down. “B-but I... I... I-I-I don't w-want them t-ta but up... set with me” He said in between hiccups as he raised his shaking hand to his eyes and wiped at them.
“I will get you something to eat in the cafeteria. I mean, I guess you have no money so I should pay for it.”
Slowly nodding Roki felt Mika grab his hand and pull him along. He sniffled again and wiped at his eyes, most likely appearing to the others around him as a small crying child. He heard people yelling and a group of children crowding around a table. Shaking his head he closed his eyes and did his best to ignore them. He hated fights and just wanted to pretend it wasn't happening.
“Roki? I will pay for it. I don't mind if you want two hotdog or whatever, go ahead.”
Roki blinked up at eh boy and slowly nodded his head before turning to the lunch lady. He looked around and thought of his choices. At first he wasn't sure what he wanted because he wasn't that hungry really. Finally he settled on something and pointed to it. “I want a cheese sandwich please, Nii Nii. That's it.”


As it was handed to him he smiled at the lady and thanked her before turning to look around the lunch room. He saw that the fight seemed to be over and a few studants were crying. That didn't surprise him though and that was why he hated fights. They always ended with someone getting hurt.
He shook his head and hiccuped again, letting out a squeak this time. He smiled and turned back to Mika. “I am gonna find a place to sit~ Come along when you are ready~”
With that being said Roki walked away, though he didn't make it too far. He felt someone start popping him on the head very hard, scaring him and hurting his head. Slowly he opened one eye and looked to the side at the person as they spoke.
“Hey little shit~ Long time no see. You do remember me right?”
Roki pushed the boys hand roughly off his head and opened his mouth to respond, though didn't get a chance. Suddenly he receved a hard smack to the back of his head causing him to drop his tray that held his sandwich and drink.
“Don't tell me you forgot me. It's Toru~ S'up baby brother?”
Roki stared at his food and drink that were all over the floor now. He swallowed as he felt tears form in his eyes. Quickly looking back at the boy he pushed him roughly. “Mean old jerk off! You always do stuff to ruin my day! What am I gonna eat now?”
Looking at his older brother he wished he could wiped the stupid look off his face. “Wait I didn't know dad was sending you here.” Suddenly he got a idea and smiled innocently before giggling. “Oh so did he send you here to get rid of you? Did he not like you anymore either? Bet mommy didn't want you there for a while cuz she didn't like you from the begining~”
Roki flew into a fit of giggles as he pointed to his brother. He loved getting back at him and always remebered their mother getting after him for teasing Roki. “Mommy and Daddy don't want you anymore either~ Mommy and Daddy don't want you anymore either~”
Suddenly remebering Mika he waved at the boy. “Nii Nii~ This is my brother! He's usually a big old jerk but you still wanna met him?”

Roki giggled softly and waved a Mika a huge smile on his face. Usually Toru ruined his day and mood but he wasn't going to let him this time. 'Have to do what Nana said to do. Have to ignore and be strong. Nii Nii wants me to be strong too I think~' He thought happily. He decided he was going to do his best and smile the whoe time Toru was there.
That would show the boy how grown up he really was now. Suddenly though without any warning at all Toru pulled him around to face him and grabbed him by his shirt, causing his feet to leave the floor since he was a head shorter then Toru.
“Hey don't fucking tawnt me then turn your back!”
Roki whimpered and felt the fear of his brother set in once more as he flinched, watching the boy shand come closer. He yelped as a fist full of his hair was grabbed and his head forced back, so that he was looking at his brother. Weather he wanted to or not.
“For you informant I am here to finish my schooling with straight A's then find a beautiful girl to settle down with and take over Father's buissness.”
Roki placed his hands on his brothers arm and pulled against it as best he could. He wanted his feet back on the ground and didn't like where this was going. All that was running though his mind was gettng away from Toru and back over to Mika.


Suddenly he was shoved back down to the ground and kicked in his side, causing him to gasp in pain as he grabbed it. Roki looked up at his brother and sat up a tiny bit trying to push himself away, but the boy just seemed to follow and keep talking.
“Though you'll never get it, nor get good grades either. Hell a tiny bird told me you skipped all your classes for the day because you were scared~ So your stuck here with me~ For a whole fucking year and most likely longer~ I must say I am gonna enjoy every moment of this~”
Roki whimpered again tears forming in his eyes. “Toru go away... It's not funny anymore... your scaring me and I don't like it...” He yelped as his brother hand touched his cheek, brushing his hair from his face, before pulling back. Seeing a evil smile on Toru's face and hate clearly filling his eyes Roki start to cry silently.
Quickly, ignoring his brother's gaze and laughing he looked over to where Mika was. “Nii Nii... I'm scared... Please... Please come here... I can't do it... I tried... Sowwy...” He whispered as loud as he could, losing his voice and letting it trail off as he was filled with fear. Tears poured from his eyes and he shook his head wishing Toru wasn't real and all this was a bad dream.

Mikazaru was patiently waiting for Roki to make his order, to choose the food he wanted. He stood there looking at him, smiling, as he paid for his own food; he had just now ordered a hotdog and a submarine sandwich with cheese, tomato, lettuce and a sauce. Taking it from the lady he put it on the counter as he still waited for Roki to make his choice.
However, he was suddenly pushed aside by someone quite roughly and he yelped, looking around in shock to see the wrongdoer; it was a boy from around his age, he had pushed him aside just to get to the front of the line. He ordered a hotdog and a cheese sandwich, but the woman behind the counter knew how to handle him and scolded him for his rude behavior.
‘’First of all, boy; you're not wearing a uniform, so I'm not sure if you are part of this school, so I cannot give you your order. Secondly; you just cut in line, which is rude and lastly; you don't have enough coins for both of them. So you better get going now, or should I call a teacher?’’, she said and the boy seemed to back off for a moment; though, he didn't give up yet.
‘’I am part of this school, I'm just too lazy to dress into my uniform. The name's Daigo Tategami. Look it up in the student list and you will see. Now please, just give me a hotdog, then.’’, he said and Mikazaru groaned, turning his head away in annoyance. He wanted this person to go away, he was such a pain in the ass.
‘’Sorry boy, no chance. I don't have a computer here to look st the student list, and you don't even have enough coins for a simple hotdog. And you cut in line, you're still considered rude. Please go, boy.’’, the woman said and Mikazaru looked t the boy with cut eyes, a weak smile on his face. The boy yelled and left, and Mikazaru could breathe again, feeling way more comfortable now.
‘’What an asshole... Hot, but I would never like such a person, such a troublemaker with no respect for others...’’, Mikazaru thought, lost in his own thoughts. He hadn't realized Roki hadn't noticed the mean boy, and he kid's words made Mikazaru snap out of it and stare at him in a daze.
‘’I want a cheese sandwich please, Nii Nii. That's it.’’, Roki said and Mikazaru nodded. The woman had heard the boy's words and immediately went to make him a cheese sandwich, and not much later she returned with the meal and Mikazaru paid for it, giving the dish to Roki and grabbing his own.


‘’I am gonna find a place to sit~ Come along when you are ready~’’, Roki said and he went away with his dish. Mikazaru nodded and grabbed his own dish now, which had been served already. A hotdog and a submarine sandwich, that was what he wanted to eat today.
Suddenly noises caught his attention and he noticed people forming a crowd around a table, it sounded like a fight, and it was going the wrong way. Lost in thoughts once more Mikazaru stared, the noise actually not even entering his ears anymore; he just stared, stared at nothing. Until the fight seemed to be broken apart by a teacher, and that same boy who had pushed him aside in line was taken away, knuckles covered in blood. Mikazaru swallowed, turning his head away and searching for Roki, but that's when he noticed Roki coming his way, calling for him.
‘’Nii Nii~ This is my brother! He's usually a big old jerk but you still wanna meet him?’’, he asked and Mikazaru simply nodded, his mind not really there at the moment. ‘’Yeah, I'm coming...’’, he said, but he kept standing and staring at the crowd breaking up, since the fight had ended. One boy laid on the ground, he was wounded; beside him sat the boy he had run into before, and quickly Mikazaru glanced away, feeling his face heat up slightly. ‘’It's that hot boy again... He shows up everywhere, doesn't he? Or maybe I'm just automatically stalking him, not knowing about it myself...’’
‘’Nii Nii... I'm scared... Please... Please come here... I can't do it... I tried... Sowwy...’’, a whisper sounded and Mikazaru turned his head slightly to see Roki, tears in the boy's eyes. Was he crying again? Why? Mikazaru frowned and walked over to him, holding his dish firmly in his hands.
‘’What's wrong, Roki? What happened?’’, he asked kindly, before his eyes fell on this other boy who seemed younger than him, yet a bit older than Roki. ‘’Is this your brother you wanted me to meet? Why is he laughing?’’, he asked again, that's when it hit him. He stared at the boy in anger. ‘’Hey you, did you make Roki cry? Get lost will you, you're behavior is almost just as annoying as that fight starter's. Go take your annoyance somewhere else, please.’’
He never scolded someone with you or them, really, he always pointed at someone's behavior being annoying, not the person itself; it was his way of telling how he felt about it, without trying to offend the person who was being annoying at that time. He hoped this boy would listen and leave.

Shun had knelt down beside Hikaru, supporting the boy's back with his hand as he tried to push him in a sitting position; he looked at the boy with worry, tears streaming down his face now. He heard Jeamesero's question, about Hikaru but he didn't know if the boy was okay so he ignored the question; he didn't answer. Instead he kept his attention focused on Hikaru, who was bleeding from his face and had black spots almost everywhere. Shun swallowed, not sure what to do; he felt stupid for not acting sooner, he felt so useless.
‘’Hikaru...? Are you okay...? Please answer me, I'm worried...’’, he whispered, carefully rubbing the boy's back. He noticed Hikaru opened his eyes to look at him and Shun smiled weakly, feeling relieved that the boy had heard his words, it seemed; at least Hikaru wasn't unconscious, that was a good thing. ‘’Hikaru, I'm...’’
Suddenly his hands were pushed away by Hikaru who screamed, and the boy hit the ground again, curling into a ball and screaming more. Shun pulled his arms back in shock, staring at Hikaru with big eyes. ‘’Hikaru... W-what's wrong...? Please talk to me...’’
Meanwhile Daigo was taken away by a teacher and the crowd began to break apart, but Shun didn't notice that, he didn't care about his surroundings anymore; he cared more for Hikaru right now, who seemed to act very strange; Shun was afraid he might have a concussion.
‘’Takeru. Hide. I have to hide. He's coming. Their coming. We have to move.’’, Hikaru said as he tried to crawl away on his stomach now. Shun tried to stop him but guessed it wasn't a very good idea to do that right now, he guessed all he could do was talk to the boy and see if he could reach him.
‘’What's wrong Hikaru, who are you talking about? It's okay, you don't need to hide, he's gone...’’, Shun said with a soothing voice, not sure if Hikaru was talking about Daigo or someone else but he guessed something had happened when he hadn't been around, and he was very worried about the now sobbing boy.


‘’Takeru... Where are we? Why aren't you moving? Takeru he's going to get you. They all will. Damn it move man! They are everywhere! He is everywhere! You don't know what he does when he get a hold of you! This! Snap out of it! I don't want him to get you! I don't want him to get me... God no don't let him get me again... It hurts... so bad when he does... it hurts...’’, Hikaru now said, shaking Shun's shoulders before letting go and touching Shun's cheek. Shun stared art him in fear and utter confusion, eyes big. He now knew for sure Hikaru most likely had a concussion and he felt really bad for the boy. ‘’Pain... so... so... much... don't... lea... ve... me... it... hu... rts...’’
Hikaru rested his head on Shun's shoulder and started sobbing. Shun wiped at his own eyes, realizing he had started to cry again, as well.
‘’Stop scaring me like this, Hikaru... you're seriously hurt!’’, he said, the tone of his voice rising for a moment because he was afraid, because he grew terrified for a moment. But he took a deep breath and carefully placed his hand on the boy's back, rubbing it softy and comfortingly. ‘’It's okay now... he's gone... You don't need to be afraid anymore. Next time this happens I will do like a friend should and protect you, jump in between, I promise... Please don't cry, I'm worried about you... I'm sorry Hikaru...’’
He kept on rubbing the boy's back, making 'sssh'ing' sounds as he did so. He held him tight, afraid the boy might collapse, but not too tight to hurt him or make him feel uncomfortable. ‘’I promise... I promise...’’, he whispered as he slowly started to rock Hikaru's body back and forth, still rubbing his back. ‘’I will be a good friend and take you to the nurse's office, okay? They will take care of your wounds and I'll be there with you. Okay...?’’
He carefully let go of Hikaru, grabbing his bag and searching through it; he found a bottle of water and opened it, handing it out to Hikaru. ‘’Here, drink something. It will make you feel a bit better. I promise...’’
