Two Sides Of The Same Coin { virtualoo & Sosuke0549 }

[Sosuke0549]

Kazuto didn't say much, as they walked but he couldn't help but feel the slight dread in the air. Why did Ami look so...worried? He'll probably be grounded for a few days and then that's -that. Right?

“Here...”[/Quote] Kazuto stopped in front of the house giving him a small smile. "It's nice...your in a pretty nice neighborhood too. " He muttered, as he followed the other. When he knocked on the door and his parents opened it. They were surprised to see that he wasn't alone but Ami didn't introduce him.

“Sir...M’am...”[/Quote]

Kazuto bit his lip, slowly stepping into the house, but he was surprised that his parents even let him in. They seemed hesitant. "Uh..hi. I'm Kazuto. Ive been looking after Ami the past few days. He's a great kid...really. " He glanced at Ami as he made his way upstairs and his father quickly followed him. He awkwardly stood near the door with Ami's mother, unsure of what to say when he started to hear...shouting? He couldn't really hear what was being said but it defiantly sounded like Ami's father. What followed next was a loud smacking sound. Was his father hitting him? Kazuto quickly turned to his mother, as if she would have some answers as to what was happening up stairs.

“That poor child..I knew he would be a bad seed. Thank you for returning him home to us” [/Quote]

With out even asking for permission, Kazuto bolted up the stairs, following the sounds of abuse barging into Ami's bedroom. There he found the boy on the floor, curled in a ball, struggling to protect himself from his father who held a belt in his hand. Kazuto clenched his hands into fists, filling with rage! He wanted to punch the man's father- but held himself back. "What the hell is wrong with you!" He quickly stood in between the two, glaring at the other. Kazuto was slightly taller than Ami's father, which made him take a step away from Ami. He glanced back at the teenager. "Are you okay?"

His mother chuckled when Kazuto mentioned that he was a great kid. “Oh dear how little you know..He is a rebellious child. A good for nothing queer child..He is lucky he is still in school and needs to keep up appearances. He will not he staying with us when he turns 18. The sooner the better I say” She chuckled before she watched Kazuto bolt for the boys room.

 

“You..get used to it” Amai said quietly as he stood up, holding his eye. Spots of blood were coming up on his shirt from how hard his father hit him. “We are my going to have some gay queer in this house. This is a proper family..” Amais father took a few steps back. “Take care of the problem..” He said with a grimace, looking down at the shattered picture frame near him. “I wish glass got in there..” He said referring to the wounds.

After hearing what Ami's mother had to say. It was clear to Kazuto as to why Ami didn't want to come here. His parents were abusive physically and mentally.

“You..get used to it”[/Quote]

Hearing that made his stomach turn. He now felt bad for sounding so optimistic and positive. No wonder his words didn't reach him. How could they. Why didn't he tell him! When Kazuto relized Ami was bleeding, he bit his lip, wanting so badly to punch the man's father.

“We are not going to have some gay queer in this house. This is a proper family..Take care of the problem..” [/Quote]

"What? Are you fucking kidding me. First off he isn't gay, and secondly, your a piece of shit! A real man wouldn't beat his own children! You know what- you don't have to wait till Ami turns 18, he's gonna be staying with me. And if you have a problem with that, then I'll call the police and have you arrested for child abuse. " He turned to Ami. "Grab everything you need. Your not coming back here. "

 

He turned his attention back to his father.

"Your a sorry excuse for a father, now get the fuck out my way, or I'll beat you with your own belt....and for the record...you think Ami won't achieve anything but I look forward to the day you come crawling back to him for help...."

 

He quickly grabbed a bag full of Ami's clothes and whatever else he was packing. He threw it over his shoulder offering to help the younger man up on his feet. "Come on..."

[virtualoo]

Amai looked on in quiet amazement at Kazuto..He...was defending him? He actually..was helping him? For a gay guy he was conditioned to hate or at least disapprove of, he really was sticking up for him. His own father stood in shock, sort of awe struck at the gay man standing before him and standing up to him. He seemed ready to burst but did not fight him. Amai quickly gathered anything he had left after a stunned moment of silence. His chest was doing this weird thumping thing he was not sure how to describe.

 

Amai has his bag packed with any clothes he could pack, along with his laptop money and other important legal documents he would need. Kazuto helped him up to his feet, looking back at the room he would never see again. No more belts..no more parents..He was...free..

[Sosuke0549]

Kazuto was eager to get out of Ami's home, and as they left he couldn't help but glare at the boys parents. Once Ami had everything he needed they quickly left, and Kazuto made sure to lead the way, storming out of the house. He moved quickly, expecting Ami to follow, and once they were about a block away he heaved a heavy sigh, suddenly pulling the younger male into a hug. "You idiot...why didn't you say anything..." He released him meeting his gaze. "Jeez..." He ruffled up his hair. "Are you...ok...I'm sorry I suggested you stay with me...it was kind of in the heat of the moment. I just got...really upset... I should of asked you first...d-do you wanna stay with me? I mean...you can't go back home...not After what just happened...and you shouldn't even be there if you ask me..."

[virtualoo]

Amai found Kazuto to be quite quick in leaving his home, able to keep up with him well enough. He followed the other to about a block away before he found that they had stopped, watching the other sigh. What has got his boxers in a twist? He seems really-His thoughts seemed to get interrupted mid sentence before he found himself being pulled into a hug. When..was the last time he got any kind of hug? It was..warm....

 

“I don’t like talking about myself..” He said quietly, not wanting to tell people about his nutcase of a family who hated his guts. He found drinking numbed the pain along with smoking, and it was a fun activity to do when he didn’t want to go home. “Yeah..I’ve had worse so this is nothing” He said with a small nod, the blood pretty much dried up. Hopefully he would never see the scars underneath his shirt or on his legs anytime soon...or ever.

 

Amai looked up at him in surprise when the other asked to stay with him. “Really?” He asked, a small glimmer of hope and joy in his voice. He coughed a bit to cover up his emotions, not sure the last time he had a burst of joy like that. “I mean, you are offering so it’s your house or the streets I guess..” He shrugged before leaning his face into the He others chest. “Don’t move..” He said quietly, hiding a few small tears rolling down his face in the others chest. He was not going to let the other see or know he was crying..hopefully. He felt the tears stop and casually picked up his head. “Okay I’m good” He shrugged, Although his tear left a clear trail in the spot of blood on his face.

[Sosuke0549]

Kazuto listened, biting his lip as Ami explained to him that he's suffered a lot worse so what just happened to him was nothing new. Hearing that made him a little sad, what else has Ami been threw? When he asked if the young teenager wanted to stay with him, he saw Ami light up! It was only for a split second but Kazuto saw a glimmer of hope and joy in his dark eyes. An emotion he hasn't seen in Ami at all since the day they met.

“I mean, you are offering so it’s your house or the streets I guess..”[/Quote]

"Your so cocky. " He scuffed, but he fell quite When Ami nuzzled into him. He was just about to ask the other if something was wrong when he spoke,

“Don’t move..”[/Quote] What's this? Was Ami actually crying? And in front of him? Kazuto couldn't help but smile as he gently ran his fingers threw the others hair, hoping to sooth his tears. He said nothing, letting Ami use him for support. He was kind of happy that Ami suddenly let his guard down and even allowed himself to be vulnerable. It showed that he was making progress.

“Okay I’m good” [/Quote]

"Ok...let's head back home. We should take care or your wounds. "

[virtualoo]

Soft gentle hands touching him..When was the last time he felt such warmth? It did not help his tears stop as he was enjoying the tender hands while he had cried. When he finally stepped away from Kazuto, he tried not looking the other in his eyes. He just cried into some guys shoulder and was fine with being held close. Whatever..not important right now..

 

Amai found it weird when the other said ‘Let’s go home’. It was his home..at least for now. “Yeah..No glass in my eye this time so it should be a simple disinfectant and patch up wounds round this time” Amai said as he picked up his bag, looking back for a moment. He would never see these few blocks on a daily basis again..He thought to himself.

[Sosuke0549]

Kazuto was glad that Ami trusted him, however he wasn't really looking forward to sharing his apartment with a adolescent teenager. What have I gotten myself into. He simply nodded when Ami explained to him that his wounds weren't serious, but never the less, he still wanted to hurry home and probably take care of them. As they headed back, he checked his phone receiving a text from Kiroto. He wasnt quite sure how to respond. It wasn't really appropriate to go on a date right after Ami got kicked out of his house and forever shunned by his parents, not to mention he was hurt. Guess I'll have to cancel.

He texted the younger male back,

 

Hey Kiroto, I'm gonna have to do a rain check on our date, something came up and my hands are tied. Kazuto couldn't remember the last time he canceled on a date. " I have a a few empty drows in my room, so you can put your clothes in there, and next weekend I'll try to find a pull out sofa, that way you'll at least have a bed to sleep in, I don't want to sleeping on the couch forever. "

[virtualoo]

Amai wondered who he was texting but wasn’t focused on who it was, guessing he typed out ‘date’ and ‘cancel’ from how his hands moved and the screen showing auto correcting. Date..? Probably turned down a cute guy or something because of all this fuss with his parents. Whatever...just play it cool..He took a breath as he tried to break this heavy tension in the air. It felt like a weight was on his shoulders was lifted but something else he couldn’t describe was weighing him down.

 

“Oh I’m allowed in your room now? I’ll try not to touch your porn stash” Amai playfully pushed his side with a small smirk. He held his stuff he was carrying tightly to his side, glad he was able to grab his wallet and important stuff in time.

[Sosuke0549]

Kazuto rolled his eyes, smirking. "You better not. " The bartender joked. It wasn't long before they reached his apartment again and Kazuto tried to help Ami settle in. He turned the couch into a make shift bed for the other, adding sheets and extra pillows and blankets. Since Ami didn't have much, they got done rather quickly. "I'm gonna run to the store and get some food. You should come to so you can get things you like. " He shrugged. He had no clue what Ami liked eating over then spicy ramen and he knew the boy couldn't serve on just that.

 

"Cholacte or Vanilla? " Kazuto turned to Ami holding a gun of each flavor in opposite hands. He was being very generous, allowing Ami to get pretty much whatever he wanted. "Or are you a freak of nature and like strawberry..." He joked.

[virtualoo]

“Really..?” Amai asked as Kazuto asked him to come to the store to get anything he wanted. He could eat anything he wanted? He has gotten used to his ramen diet that it was hard to remember the last time he ate anything but that and cafeteria food. If there was one class he didn’t skip, it was lunch. Even if the school lunches didn’t really taste all that good..food was food.

 

He was surprised when he was even offered ice cream, feeling a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Ice cream..? He was going to get ice cream too?! “Vanilla..Who would have strawberry as their favorite flavor?” He said with a small chuckle Kazuto even had a sense of humor about him too..He didn’t seem like that bad of a guy

[Sosuke0549]

Kazuto laughed, hearing Ami's retorck. It was a good thing he had a sense of humor. After buying the food, the two walked back to Kazuto's apartment with heavy bags in their hands. "I'll get dinner started, you can get settled in and take a shower...feel free to use my stuff. " He unlocked the door and headed straight to the kitchen, putting the groceries away as well as getting out the pots and pans he needed and turning on the stove.

 

At thing moment it kind of left like him and Ami were a couple. At least...most people would defiantly assume that now. But he didn't really care what people thought.

 

He checked his phone, seeing that he missed a call from Kiroto. He sighed softly, and sent the boy a quick text, he had work tomorrow night, but perhaps they could get breakfast together. He had no doubt that the kid would say yes and agree to meet him later and since tomorrow was Monday Ami would be back in school.
