Why Me?

21. His Parents

Finally with both of us fully dressed. My body was laying on Ryuuzaki's bed, while my head was resting on his lap. His form was sitting up, with his back leaning against the wall. My eyes were closed as his fingers were constantly running through my hair, it felt so nice to me. Unable to help myself, a soft sigh left my lips.

"Hika? What's wrong?" Opening my eyes I was met with Ryuu's brown ones, they looked worried for a moment as I shook my head faintly.

"Nothing." Letting my eyes close once more, I felt Ryuu continue to play with my hair softly. "It's just, I finally did it."

As Ryuu spoke, his voice was nothing but deep, as well as soft and comforting. "Did what?"

"Finally opening up to someone else. Finally sharing my past with them" My voice was quiet compared to his own.

"I am so happy you finally let me in." My eyes opened as I gazed up at my new boyfriend. His shaggy brown hair fell around his face, as I took in every detail of him that I could. "Do you.." Pausing for a moment I spoke out again in a soft whisper. "Do you see me d-differently now?"

Hearing a soft chuckle escaping him, calmed me down some. "No Hikaru. You just lost your way, and I will help you find the right path again." His words held encouragement, my heart skipped a beat.

Though deep down, I was still hiding something from him. The entire truth of my past, hasn't been made known yet. Once he heard it fully, I was terrified how ashamed he may be. Though I had to tell him, I have to be the one to tell him. Before he does.

Inhaling a deep breath, I got my nerves calmed in the pit of my stomach. "Ryuu, there is uhh s-something I need to tell you."

"Hmm? What is it?" His soft voice asked as I gulped. Though I didn't back down.

"Well, Ryuu in my past I.."

The knocking on the bedroom door cut me right off.

"Is it safe to come in now?" Groaning I heard that same annoying giggle again through the door.

Ryuuzaki looked a bit annoyed as he called towards the door. "Get lost Akira!" His eyes softened as he looked back to me. "Sorry, what were you saying?"

However with that knock, my courage to tell him my sad dark secret vanished. "Never mind, it wasn't important.

I could tell Ryuu was about to argue with me on that, when his bedroom door opened up. "I said get lost Akira..." He glared at her, this only making her giggle again,

"Awe, come now Ryuu-nii don't be like that." Her eyes landed on my head in his lap. She watched her big brother softly playing with my bright hair. "You two are the cutest couple!" She squealed and beamed in excitement.

Raising my head from Ryuu's lap finally, I give off a glare in her direction. "And you are nothing but freaking annoying." I was annoyed, our peaceful moment together was now gone.

"Akira, how about you just go and leave us alone." Ryuuzaki growled out. It was clear I wasn't the only one annoyed we were interrupted.

"Nope, not going to happen!" She smiled and ran over jumping onto his bed.

"Akira!" Ryuu yelled out angrily.

Ignoring her big brother she turned to face me. Her smile only grew bigger, and it was getting me even more annoyed. "So, this is the first time Ryuu-nii brought you home."

"So what if it is." Grumbling I shrug off her excitement. This damn kid, was way to cheery for my liking. It didn't help that she was my same height too, and that made me even more pissed.
