As you woke up, you were surprised to see Rindou sitting next to you. It is too early for him to come here. You groan and sit.
"Hey, good morning," your hoarse voice made him look at you. As he did, he is puckering and greeting his jaws hard. You cleared up your blurry eyes and stared at him curiously as you get your vision. He looks really mad. Did something happen?
"You came early? Wh--" your eyes widen in shock when his thumb pressed hard on your lips as if he is wiping a speck of dirt on your lips. This made your lips hurt as they hit your teeth. You quickly shove his hands away.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" you almost teared up because of the pain. You covered your throbbing lips. You can even taste the blood inside. He looks mad and he ruined your morning as if you did something. Rindou stand up and you heard how he cracked his knuckles and step with heavy steps and went over to the window.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?! It hurts!" You proclaim furiously. He wasn't like that before.
"I'm sorry about that," he coldly said, staring outside. You greeted your teeth.
"Sorry? Oh please, you mother fucker! Don't come near me!" You angrily hissed at him. You pressed the red button on the nightstand to inform your nurse that you need help and that you're awake.
What is wrong with him?!
He is making me so pissed!
You tied your messy hair and wait for the nurse to arrive. After few minutes, the nurse arrived and helped you to sit in your wheelchair. Rindou didn't even try helping and seemed that the nurse feel his hostile aura today. You look back at him but he wasn't looking. You mumbled a curse and rolled your eyes.
Thank goodness the nurse didn't ask. She just helped you to wash on the tub, she was shampooing your hair gently while you're scrubbing your arms. After an hour of preparing yourself (because you are going home already), the nurse leaves you with your breakfast on the table. You eat silently and Rindou is now sitting on the windowsill watching you eat your breakfast. You throw daggers at him. Still pissed at what he did. Well, no one will even like what he did. No one will be pleased about it. You'd understand if you did something wrong but you were innocent and as far as you know you were just sleeping there tightly.
Could it be I mumble something while I was asleep??
"You can leave, no one needs you here," you sassily said at him and continued eating again. Rindou irked as his lips twitched. You didn't mind though. He is being a jerk. You heard his footsteps getting close to you.
"You don't need me?" He said still being cold. You rolled your eyes and drink on your water.
"Who needs you anyway?" You stated. Rindou became more pissed. He is pissed like for what? He doesn't get pissed whenever you get sassy at him. He never even cares about what you throw at him because he even likes you being like that, but why now??
"What did you say?" He stops on your side, covering your body. You gulp and pretend you don't care. He's getting scary right now. He is furiously mad just by his presence. As if there was an imaginary black aura all over his body. He's scary sometimes though. You look at him with cold eyes.
"I don't need you, so you can leave. The door is free for your shits," you mumble and pointed the door. He greeted his teeth and stared at you intently.
"Why would I?" You glared at him and push him away.
"Don't talk to me!" You hissed and reached the wheelchair beside you. You slowly move your ass out of the chair to make you sit back on the wheelchair and leave. But that wasn't so easy. The wheelchair is moving forward if you sit. The nurse would always assist you every time. But she leave you today because you say so. You move your legs a little that even took all your strength and try to get on the wheelchair but you didn't make it. You nearly fall because of out of balance and the wheelchair move away from you. If it wasn't because of Rindou's quick movements you would hit the floor badly but his arms tightly wrapped around you as if you were plastic or something so easy to carry.
"Don't need me, yeah?" You wiggle still being prideful.
"I didn't tell you to help me! Let me go, I don't care if I fall. It's not you who's going to get hurt!" You try pulling his arms away but he was just way stronger than you. He lifted your body, pressing you on his side then he put you on the bed, and cornered you.
"I care, Y/n. I fucking care," he said controlling his voice not to shout. You puckered and try pushing him.
"Then don't fucking care! I don't understand you! You just came here very mad and you hurt me! What is wrong with you?? Then what? You're sorry now? Before you get mad at me make sure that I did something wrong! Your such a jerk!" You hissed. His jaw moves once again at your protest. He saw you starting to get teary but you're controlling it.
"You don't care after all..." you move your head on the side to look away from him. You just need to tell him what you really felt. You don't know him really well after all. "Honestly, even were together for a few months now, I still don't know who you really are... you didn't tell me about who you are and you are always so hard to understand...It hurt me...You are so unfair. You know the people who surround me, you start to know me because you always observe me..." your voice crackdown and began sobbing. Sadly realizing the truth. Who is he really?? While he's knowing you, you feel being left behind.
You sob silently, shoulders are trembling while making a sound that almost pain him too.
"You are so unfair... well, it wasn't that you hurt me when I woke up but you are being so unfair to me..."
Your tears replenished the corner of your eyes continuously. You wiped it harshly yet another one come out again.
"I...I'm sorry," he softly said and stared down at you. He moves your chin to face him. You didn't let him and shove his hands away.
"Please look at me," he begged. You greeted your teeth. You don't want to. "Please." He moves your face again. You glared at him when you finally face him. He wipe the tears in the corner of your eyes.
"I'm really sorry... I didn't mean it. I should have known better. I'm sorry, Y/n," eyes still cold as ever but you can see those mixed and miserable emotions in his beautiful deep orbs. "I try my best for you to know me...just...just don't say that you don't...need me...It hurts..really bad..." your eyes widen when his voice became shakey in his last words. Now he looks in pain too. He places your hand to his chest that's moving so fast.
"It wasn't beating fast because I'm with you...It hurts..." your tears fall again. He looks different when he's hurt. He looks, even more, colder than usual but his voice falls. He doesn't show tears but his voice sounds in pain.
Oh my god, My Rindou.
Why would the fuck I act so selfish in front of my love!!! There is more worth it to cry than me. My problem isn't that problematic yet I am being selfish here just because I can't understand him!! I am so stupid!!
He wipe your tears again and then made you sit on his lap.
"I'm sorry." he kissed your forehead and hug you tightly, placing his head on the juncture of your neck.
"Then why are you so mad, earlier?" You ask and hug him back, smelling his manly scent mixed with aftershave.
"I dreamed that a guy kissed you while you're asleep and I saw it when I'm about to enter here," your eyes widen in shock. Oh so you're not alone, he's dreaming of you too. You chuckled and kissed his neck.
"Is that so," you laugh softly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said earlier... I need you..always."
Rindou smiled through your neck then look at you.
"Sure," he chuckled and wink at you. You just stared at him forcing not to smile. You two stared at each other for a moment until both lips meet each other and sync them together. You place your hand around him and his hands on your side kissing you gently until it turns to make out. Your tongue fought with him but he didn't let you dominate him. The sound of an opening door made your lips pull away from him and Rindou try to reach it but your covered his lips.
"O-ohh," you blushed and look at the door to see Mikey, Draken, and Emma. You blushed even harder when Mikey was curiously looking at your position with Rindou. Emma smirk blushing a little as well. Draken was just there standing since he is used to it but it is surprising and it's different because it's his childhood friend and Toman's enemy.
"Ha...Ha-ha-ha, you guys come in," you're embarrassed and seemed that Rindou's enjoying it. He whispered something at you that you're the only one who will hear.
"Let's try a new position."
He gripped at your hips before letting you sit on the bed. Rindou wryly stared at the visitors. He's on his contacts today so the more he's not with his lens, the more he looks hostile and hot. He stand up and went back to the window and sit on the windowsill. His both legs are out the window and facing his back to all of you. Didn't mind the sign for 'no smoking' outside. He lit and puff out a cloud of thick smoke.
Mikey went near at you.
"What are you doing with him earlier?" He asks. You blush at his question. Seriously? Does it even need to be asked? Draken laugh and patted his friend's shoulder.
"You'll understand it if you find someone special," he said. Emma sit next to you and poked your side.
"You..." she teased. You slapped her hands a little to stop her. She just chuckled though.
"Yuzuha and Hina should've sawed it instead," she whispered. You stop her from saying those because of embarrassment.
God! Oh, help me!
Thank goodness, Emma stopped teasing you and talk about another topic. Around one pm, you're leaving the centre and just waiting for your parents to come after finishing the papers and the payments. You are bothered by how much money they spend on all of these but you promise to pay them back.
"I miss my bed and my things in my room real bad. I hope Mom didn't find my hidden secrets there," you said to Emma.
"Ken-chin, have hidden secrets too," Mikey said and chuckled while eating the dorayaki he bought.
"Hey, don't reveal it!" Draken hissed. Mikey just laugh and continued munching his pancake.
"I wonder what is it..." Emma mumbles. You just watch them and after a few talks, they decided to leave since they're visiting Shinichiro's grave. You also told Mikey that Kazutora visit you and was sorry for everything. Mikey didn't say anything but 'I'm glad he visits you,'.
You wave your hands to the nurses and your doctor who were with you in your hard times with your parents. You are thankful to them because, without them, you wouldn't achieve and heal. You get used to the place but you really like your home than here.
"Thank you for everything. I'm am happy being friends with all of you," you genuinely said and bow your head for the gratitude. They wave their hands at you too. There is also a nurse who is very attached to you who cried when you leave. Your Mom can't help but cry too because finally, you can now stay with them. You can now eat with them. She misses those moments with her precious daughter.
"Rindou-kun, you can have dinner with us this night," your Mom look at him sitting next to you. Your dad starts reviving the engine of the car.
"Sure, if it won't bother Mr L/n," your father laugh heartily and stared at Rindou from the rearview mirror.
"I would be glad if you eat with us since my daughter is coming home and it's a very special day. We could drink a little too," your father said. Your Mom then slaps his shoulder.
"Hey! That's not how a father does!" Your mother scolded her husband.
"It's just a little, Wifey, no need to get worried," you nudge Rindou's shoulder who silently watch your parents bickered. He looks at you.
"You know what, Mom and Dad were once an enemy back then," you whispered. Rindou smirked and whispered too.
"Sounds like us," he huskily said and hold your soft hands. You rolled your eyes and look outside the window.
"Didn't tell Y/n about this but your mom was once the president of a gangster back then," your dad suddenly tell a story. You are truly interested in their love life but you were shy to ask them. Your dad will always start the conversation if he remembers telling it to you when you were in middle school.
"Ohh, is that true, Mommy?" You inquired and was shocked a bit. Your Mom glance back and chuckled.
"Well, I was until I met your dad. I only stop when you came, Honey," she mumbles. You smiled. You remembered again. Maybe if your Mom wasn't pregnant with your supposed to be brother or sister, she wouldn't let her own get touch by the filthy rapist back then. She's not the type to cheat on her lover, she always takes care of her family. There were sometimes your Mom fought with your Dad because of a woman their age or younger. He is sometimes seen by your Mom having a date and your Mom would go and ruin everything then she'll tell him that she'll file a divorce. Even your Dad was a player, he only love your mother and no one can replace the wonderful ladies in his heart. He stop seeing women when you began to understand things. He don't want to see his princess get hurt by a man but the couple promised that they'll watch you in the paths you choose, they promised to watch and support you where you can find your happiness.
"Finally I'm home!!" You chirped inside the car looking at your home. You missed this place. It feels like it's been so many, many years had passed. The plants of your Mom blooms beautifully and colourful. Rindou carried you carefully in your wheelchair. Some of the neighbours your parents know watch you and greeted you.
"I want to hug my pillows!"
Your parents chuckled at your excitement. The inside of the house is dark because no one is there honestly.
"What do you wanna do after, Y/n?" Your father asked as he pressed the button for the pin lock.
"I badly miss my room, so I guess I am going there," you said. As the door opens, Rindou wheeled you to get inside the living rooming, sauntering in the hallway, the lights suddenly turns on coming after the loud noise.
"WELCOME BACK Y/N!!" Your eyes widen as you see your friends welcomed you genuinely. The confetti flies off the air. Your friends are all here, even your cousin's, Wakasa and Benkei. Senju's giggles you hear when she runs towards you, never minding other else.
"Yay!! Y/n-chan got home!!" She giggles showing those vigorous eyes of her. You smiled, she looks very pretty in a yellow off-shoulder top partnered with high-waist ripped jeans and white sneakers and some jewelry. She wore the one you chose back then and the last shopping you two did.
"You see, I'm kinda off wearing this one, but I got it for you," she whispered, showing pinkish shade on her both cheeks. You grin teasingly at her outfit. Senju barely wears this kind of fashion. She's more comfortable wearing, loose shirts and pants or with her brahman outfit. She wore skirts only for school.
"Mom, look at Senju wearing girly stuff. She's pretty. I wonder what Aunt would say about her only daughter," you teased. Senju cutely pouts her lips. Your Mom's eyes twinkle seeing her niece grow up beautifully.
"If only you are my daughter, I'll keep you with Y/n," your Mom rushed towards the girl and pinches her cheeks. Senju can't help but to chuckle, fluttered being complimented.
"You're saying the same with Mom, she's coming after her work to see Y/n-chan,"
You wave at your friends waiting for you to talk with them. You just forgot they didn't know your cousins since the siblings were always sent to United State where your grandparents are living with your Mom siblings. Though, Haruchiyo and Takeomi don't stay long there for some of their reason.
"Y/n, hahaha. Emma and I baked this for you," Mikey showed you the cake on the table. Rindou leaves you with your friends saying that Rio and Suha will come to visit and he's waiting for them to arrive.
You look at the coffee cake where something is written at the top of it.
'Welcome Home, Y/n!'
Fr. Emma & Mikey :)
Mikey is probably the one who writes his name on the cake. The rest of the letters wherein good fonts while Mikey's were a bit bigger than the rest. He must have strongly pressed the piping bag.
"It's pretty, thank you for the effort. I didn't know you guys are surprising me. You just visited me earlier though,"
"That's part of the act, Y/n. How's is it!! Did you like the settings? Yuzuha, Hina, and I planned about this since the first month you've been sent to the rehab centre..." Emma explained and she showed everything to you.
"It's indeed pretty."
"Also, we can taste Mitsuya's cooking! He helped the girls to cook, Y/n," Hakkai said at you. Mitsuya playfully punches the lanky.
"I'm starting to think you like me, Hakkai," Mitsuya laugh with you guys. Baji came out from the kitchen, munching the cupcake in his hand.
"This pretty good! I like this," all of you look at him who's minding his own business until Chifuyu mumbled a curse.
"Baji-san, that's not for you. That is for, Y/n..." Chifuyu hissed to his friend. Baji looks at you an grins showing his perfect whites.
"Nah, Y/n won't eat that much of sweets, right??" You shrugged your shoulder giving him a half-smiled.
"Who knows, I can share it... Oh, by the way, Kazutora visited me just weeks ago... he's sorry about what happened..." you began talking about what you talk with Kazutora and they quietly listened to you.
"That damn, Kazutora," Baji mumbles and stared at his cupcake. "Are you...fine with it Mikey if he comes to join Toman again?"
Mikey glance at Baji then shrugged his shoulder.
Mikey smiled at you sweetly, "I'm sure, he'll come again."
The small celebrations continue. You excused yourself from the Toman to go at the Brahman's who's sitting comfortably on the sofa.
"Hey, don't tell me you guys are also part of the surprise?" You started and move the wheel a little. They all look at you. Takeomi's holding the canned beer like the other two while Senju's munching a strawberry shortcake beside his brother.
"What? No. You think those kids will think we like joining plans for surprises?" Takeomi chuckled and watch your friends gather up noisily. "Aunty invited us here."
"Well, I thought grown old guy like that," Takeomi drink on his canned beer then laugh.
"Hey, Waka, how's it feel to call grown old guy?" Waka stared at Takeomi then rolled his eyes.
"It is you who she's referring to. not me." Takeomi laughed and shook his head. You pursed your lips.
"Anyway, when will you three go to settle up? I think you guys like someone or try doing blind dates," Senju put down the plate on the coffee table with a half-finished cake. Senju look at you before she burst to laugh.
"I tell you...A blind date doesn't work with these guys. Takeomi's all too flattered talking to grown woman hahaha he started talking 'what kind of food do you like?', wtf is that!!" Senju laughs on the sofa.
"That's not true, don't listen to her Y/n," Takeomi convince while he shook his. You laugh at his sudden reaction.
"And whenever for Wakasa, he quickly leave if the girls start saying 'I think I like you, Waka-sama', hahahah ain't waka and sama has the same meaning! Pfft, and for Benkei, well, he only cares for the food, not the lady even it's pretty.."
"What kind of hobby is that!!" You said and laugh with Senju. "You guys should marry before your age is no longer part of the calendar."
"It doesn't matter," Benkei mumbles. "It's too risky to marry someone."
Your laughs turn down because of his seriousness. Well, he is kinda scary honestly.
"Where is your boyfriend? Are you sure with him?" Takeomi suddenly ask. They never ask you about Rindou or seemed that they don't trust Rindou as your boyfriend. They knew what a gangsters world is. Having a relationship with someone you dear the most will be the reason for your fall down. You bit the inside of your cheek.
"What do you mean sure with him?? I mean we are good," you answered. Takeomi bobbed his head slowly.
"I can see that..." he glance behind you, "So, you have met his cousins." You look behind you when you saw Rindou's brother and cousin.
"When we went to Kyoto, I meet Suha and Rio," Suha wave her hands at you when your orbs meet. You smiled and wave back. "I'll be right back later." You excused yourself to them and welcome the three.
Suha quickly rushed at you.
"God! I miss you so much!" She proclaims, leaning at you. You chuckled and pinch her cheeks.
"Yeah, I miss you too," you honestly said. Suha froze and blushed.
"Omg, she missed me Chicken, Rio, Braid-y," Suha mutters still blushing.
"I mean, I like hanging with you, Suha. That's why I miss you," Suha chuckled and nod her head.
"How to steal a Y/n to Chicken,"
--
The little celebration ended around 9:30 pm. You give Mitsuya the cupcakes for Mana and Luna since they like sweets and they weren't able to come here because they're still kids and it's too crowded.
"You don't have to, this is for you," you shook your head. You have enough sweets left on the fridge.
"It's fine. Luna and Mana will be happy if you bring that home. Hey, take care on your way back home," you said to your other friends who's now out of the house.
"Of course, Y/n. We had some fun today." Baji said riding on his motor with Chifuyu.
You watch them leave with their noisy rides. The only ones left here is Senju, Takeomi and their Mom. Having drinks with your parents. Senju pushes the wheelchair inside the porch. Waka is sitting on the edge while puffing a cigar with Benkei.
"Haruchiyo didn't visit you once, right?" Senju enquired. You look at the street lights outside the gate.
"He didn't. Not even texted me if I'm fine or something," you silently mumbles. Senju sigh and patted your shoulder.
"That bastard. He changed a lot and he's not going back home. He likes giving Mom a headache." You licked your lower lip and sigh.
"Let's not just bother him...He likes being alone when he got a problem or something."
