Chapter 13

Unedited

Fukumori was running as fast as he could, since he had good stamina and long legs, it made it fairly easy, but he was worried he wouldn't get there in time. His thoughts were racing, he was scared and cursing himself out because of how far he lived.

He got to the school, panting and his legs shaking slightly but he didn't care, he bolted inside and down the halls not sure where they were which is something else he can curse himself out about, the fact that he didn't get the details.

Yoshiya was sobbing, begging his attacker to stop. His fingers were throbbing and he couldn't move his legs since they were stomped on with so much force that he can't seem to feel them. He was scared that nobody was going to help him. The student that was watching decided to leave the class so that they didn't get involved. It was just him and the person that was now thinking of breaking his nose.

Fukumori was running down halls, heart racing, he wasn't able to get dressed properly so he was running around in grey sweats, a red hoodie and black sneakers, his hair was a complete mess. His electric blue eyes scanned the halls. He still didn't know where to go.

After a couple more minutes and more running, he heard someone cry out and he recognized it...It was Yoshiya. He bolted in that direction, but froze when he saw his so-called 'friend' sitting on Yoshiyas legs and holding a lighter to his arm. He gritted his teeth and ran over, kicking the males side as hard as he could, which caused a cracking sound to be heard through the halls. The male yelped and held his side, gasping at the sharp pain. Fukumori didn't even glance at him, his first thought was to go to Yoshiya who was shaking violently. He lifted Yoshiya into his arms as gently as he could. Seeing Yoshiya like this made his heart ache, he hated it. Yoshiya was relieved when the heat stopped and the weight was lifted off his legs, yet he still wasn't able to move them.

Once Fukumori came into view, he was slightly afraid but noticed the pain and worry in his eyes and that fear was washed away. He held onto the male as best as he could, feeling safe in his arms, but that was interrupted by the sound of someone sitting up.

"DUDE WHAT THE HELL!?" His voice was shaking but that didn't matter, the anger could still be heard.

Fukumori clenched his jaw to hold in everything he wanted to say, the anger bubbling up again. Yoshiya saw this and knew something was about to happen, he would leave if he was able to move. His 'friend' stood up and looked absolutely pissed off, shaking from anger. Yoshiya was scared and moved himself the best with his aching arms and moved himself behind Fukumori who let it happen and even helped him. Once that was done, Fukumori stood up and popped his knuckles, he gave his 'friend' one last 'smile' before punching the other male in the jaw with all his strength. The other male stumbled back and fell into the lockers, groaning , blood running down his face from his nose. His eyes were trying their best to focus but due to the force that hit his head, everything was blurry.

Fukumori chuckled and walked over, squatting down and tilting his head to the side in a mocking sort of way, enjoying the sight of the other struggling to get up.

"Awe...You ok?" His tone of voice was sarcastic and obviously very angry.

His 'friend' looked up at him with a slightly fearful look, not sure what was going on or why Fukumori was angry at him. "Dude...why.." His voice was still shaking but there was no anger this time to follow his words, only the tinge of fear.

Fukumori didn't respond to his question, he gripped the others hair and lifted him up, but with a lot more force.

"Touch Yoshiya again..And I won't leave you with just a warning." The other male nodded quickly in response before Fukumori threw him to the ground. The other male took this opportunity to do something smart for once and leave, which Fukumori didn't care much, he jogged over to Yoshiya who watched the whole thing. He gave Fukumori a weak smile which was responded to with Yoshiya being picked up. Fukumori gave a sad smile and nuzzled Yoshiya gently before starting to walk to the nurse, staying quiet as he did.

Yoshiya was confused but blushed non the less, his heart speeding up a bit. He was also confused on why Fukumori was being so quiet and not saying anything.

Yes, Yoshiya can be clueless sometimes...a lot of the time.

~Fukumori POV~

I'm glad I got there before he was able to do something worse..but I wasn't fast enough to stop it completely.

Seeing Yoshiya like that really tore a hole into his heart, he hated the fact that Yoshiya had to go through that and that he wasn't there to protect him. He looked down at Yoshiya to see him glancing around the halls, his face red and puffy from crying, he looked content now and calm which was a bit strange but then again…

He did go through this a lot before…

He sighed and looked back up so that he could see where he was going, heading out of the school to take Yoshiya to the hospital.

~End POV~

A couple hours went by. Yoshiya was in the hospital being cared for while Fukumori was trying to figure out how to contact his mom. He cursed under his breath and sighed, looking at Yoshiyas phone. Fukumori could always just ask, but he was still being looked after.

Yutaka was texting Yoshiya, worried that he wasn't getting any replies. He furrowed his brows and exited the class. Once he got into the hall, he hit the call button, happy when he heard the click on the other side, but that soon disappeared once he heard Fukumoris voice.

"What."

"Why do you have Yoshi's phone?"

"Why is it any of your business?"

Yutaka took a deep breath.

"Because he's my boyfriend"

Fukumori heard this and he gritted his teeth, holding back everything he wanted to say. He cleared his throat. "And?"

Yutaka sighed

"Just..where is he.." The annoyance in Yutakas voice was replaced with worry, he just wanted to know if Yoshiya was safe. Fukumori noticed this and bit his lip. He didn't want to say anything but if he was going to change the way Yoshiya saw him, then he needed to do his best to be nice.

"We are at xx hospital"

"What!?" Yutaka stood up and picked up his bag, starting to leave.

"What happened? Is he ok?"

"He's ok, he just got into a fight a little bit ago, I dealt with the person that was fighting him"

Yutaka let a small sigh of relief escape, he was pretty much running to the hospital at this point and Fukumori could tell. Yutaka looked at how far away he was

"I'll talk to you when I get there" and before Fukumori could reply, Yutaka hung up, leaving Fukumori in his thoughts again.

-------------------------

After a little while longer, Fukumori heard someone yelling his name from down the hall, he looked up to see Yutaka running over, panting heavily.

"Have...you heard" He stopped and placed his hands on his thighs, taking deep breaths.

"No, I haven't yet" Fukumori moves his things off the chair next to him to give Yutaka to sit, which he does.

He leaned back against the chair and draped an arm across his forehead, mumbling to himself. Fukumori on the other hand was sitting straight up, still wondering how he was going to get into contact with Yoshiyas mom.

Not long after, a nurse comes down the hall to the two males and stands in front of them. Yutaka sits up and they both look up at the nurse.

"Yoshiya is doing ok, he just need to rest quite a bit"

"Oh thank god…" Yutaka places his head in his hands and smiles softly.

"Thank you.." Fukumori bows his head and watches the nurse leave and if like magic, Yoshiyas phone starts buzzing. Fukumori looks to see his mothers contact. He takes a deep breath and hits answer.

"Yoshiya? Honey, are you ok?.." Fukumori hears the soft sound of Yoshiyas mothers voice and hears how worried she is.

"Um..I'm not Yoshiya, I'm a friend of his" "Oh?..Is he with you? Is he alright?"

Yutaka looks at Fukumori and is surprised by the sad look on his face.

"He's in the hospital.." He flinches at the gasp on the other side of the line

"What happened? Which one?" He hears a rustle and assumes she is going to come over as well.

"Xx Hospital.."

She asks him about what happened and of course he tells the truth and explains everything. Yoshiyas mother hangs up after he does so that she can focus on driving.

Fukumori places his hand on his head and tries to hold back the tears that are threatening to escape. Yutaka is seeing this all unfold and the only thought going through his mind is that he really misunderstood this guy...
