NO MORE PAIN~A lion's heart
CHAPTER 1-KIZUNA
"No father please, stop it!" he said raising his hands trying to protect himself but the old man grabbed them tighter with one hand and he hit the boy with the other until he started crying. "No father, stop please!" he shouted between tears and hiccups.
"You have been a very bad boy. Let me teach you a lesson"
The boy closed his eyes while tears poured down his cheeks. More than his body his heart and soul were hurt and crying.
His name is Ueda Tatsuya and he is a second year high school student. His father, had been beating him since he was little and he never had the courage to tell anyone . He wasn't able to do anything in the end. Ever since he was a child he wasn't good at any sports or school subjects so after loosing his job and working from one place to another, his father would get drunk and beat him every night until he would bleed and faint in his own blood. It was then when he felt peaceful...because only then his father would stop.
When he woke up the next day his father was snoring next to him still holding his hands. He might have fell asleep after Tatsuya fainted because he took another bottle and drank it. He slowly released himself from his grip, washed his face from the blood, changed into his school uniform ,took his bag and went outside walking towards his school. His eyes were lowered and he barely answered the greetings neighbors gave him . Everyone knew he was beaten up by his father but no one ever interfered.
At school...he was invisible. There was an important announcement the class president had to give so she hit the table for her classmates to make silence.
"The school festival will begin in two weeks and we need to organize everything. I made a list with what everyone has to do and if there are any complaints you can address them to me and I'll see to it. You can choose whatever stand you want to take care of this year and what contests you want to participate to. The things listed there are general everyone has to do them. Oh! Ueda-kun! I forgot to make a list for you too but I guess we should just put you in the haunted room." she said smiling like a devil.
His classmates started laughing because everyone knew she did it on purpose. And everyone liked her since she was the daughter of the high school's principal.
Tatsuya put his head on his arms and silently started crying. When he couldn't bear it anymore he ran outside wiping his tears. His classmates laughed even louder and he could still hear them even when he managed to leave the building. He ran until he reached the deposit in the school's yard were he closed the door and locked it. Then he fell on his rear, he grabbed his legs against his chest and started crying again.
"Urusai yo!!" Tatsuya heard a voice coming from an old couch covered with dust which was thrown there after being used just like he was.
He stopped crying and looked towards the couch because he could see no one. He thought he was just imagining things after being beaten for an entire night.A student jumped over the couch with a sudden move holding a cigar in his mouth.
He blocked seeing Tatsuya sitting down against the door and rubbed his own hair in confusion. Tatsuya stared at him because he thought the student was cool and with a lot guts to come in that place and smoke.
"Ano..." the student spoke and his voice echoed in the deposit removing the silence. "If you have love problems please find another place to cry because you are bothering me, alright?"
Tatsuya couldn't speak he even thought the student wasn't addressing him since he was always invisible to everyone.
"Ano ne!" the student walked towards him but Tatsuya put his head on his legs and stood like that. "Didn't you hear me?" he grabbed him and got him up holding his arms tight. Tatsuya scowled.
"Itai!" he shouted and his voice had a loud resonance inside the deposit. The student blocked again and released Tatsuya's arms not before he noticed bruises all over him
"Did you fight or something?" he asked but Tatsuya lowered his gaze staring at the student's chest."Aren't you going to answer my questions? I'm losing my patience." the student stared at him and waited for a reply. "Alright then I'll just leave you for a while but this is my spot." he gently pushed him while he tried opening the door but a rushed movement made the lock break.
"Oh shit!" he tried the door and the lock but it broke. He hit it with all his strength but no success.
"Now look what you have done! No one ever comes here that's why i don't lock it. But you came and..."
The student stopped as he noticed Tatsuya's lowered face full of tears.
"Gosh! Why are you crying?"
"Gomenasai..." Tatsuya finally answered and he fell again on his rear.
"My name is Kazuya...Kamenashi Kazuya. I am a third year student. What is your name?"
This time he was crying even harder and Kazuya touched his arm gently.
"You didn't fight, did you? Who did this to you?"
But Tatsuya was still crying and Kazuya just sighed and sat next to him, taking back his hand . He put both of them behind his head and he leaned against the door after he started another cigar and put it in his mouth. "I wasn't even going to classes anyway" he said closing his eyes.
Tatsuya stopped crying and raised his head looking at the boy sitting next to him. The way he was turning around his cigar between his lips he looked very cool and handsome. Kazuya felt his gaze and opened his eyes analyzing his face full of tears.
"Ueda Tatsuya..." he finally mumbled and bowed a little wiping his tears.
"I thought you are deaf or something" he smiled towards Tatsuya but the smile disappeared. "Have you told someone about this?"
Tatsuya didn't answer instead he avoided eye contact. Kazuya then reached his face with his own hand and touched it. The younger one closed his eyes feeling his caress.
"Why do you trust me now? What if I do something to you ?" Tatsuya suddenly opened his eyes and realized he was closer to his face than before. He stood like that without having the courage to say something. KAzuya giggled and increased the distance between them.
"I'm not that sort of person, relax. Oh well I don't know how much time we will be locked in here so..." Kazuya grinned trying to change the atmosphere but then it disappeared. "Seriously what happened to you?"
"Nothing..." Tatsuya mumbled.
"How can you say nothing? I really don't pity you and I kinda despise you for not having the courage to say it out loud." he said but his face turned white when he noticed Tatsuya's scared expression on the verge of crying again. Then when the anger filled him up he exploded and started hitting Kazuya's chest.
"MY FATHER! MY FATHER IS BEATING ME EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY DAY UNTIL I FAINT IN MY OWN BLOOD !"
Kazuya let him hit his chest staring at him shocked by what he heard. That man, that awful person wasn't his father. Then he grabbed his shoulders and pulled him in his arms patting his head. He started playing with his hair and Tatsuya stopped with surprised widened eyes. While Kazuya was caressing him he finally closed his eyes.
"It's ok. I will work it out for you. I promise" he threw away his cigar and continued carressing Tatsuya with both his hands, one on his back and one on his head. He tucked a lock of hair behind his ear repeating the movement. When Tatsuya wanted to raise his head he didn't let him and pulled him back to his chest.
"Stay..." he whispered.
"Thank you" Tatsuya mumbled into Kazuya's uniform.
"You don't say THANK YOU for this kind of things." his voice was low and kind. After a while he felt like Tatsuya was too silent and he tried getting him up when he noticed he fell asleep. Kazuya sighed...he was damn heavy despite his looks. He turned him around so that he could lean on his legs and face him. The way he was sleeping like an innocent child made his heart scream of anger and fury towards his father. How could he do that to him? A sudden urge made him uncover Tatsuya's arms and abdomen, his expression remained still and his face was white compared to the bruises invading Tatsuya's body.
"Ueda-san! Ueda-san!" Kazuya shook his shoulder whispering into his ear. "Wake up it's already dark"
"What happened?"
"You fell asleep. I didn't have the courage to wake you up. I have an idea. See that window over there? We can jump through it.That if you have enough energy..."
"I...can try"
They both got up and went towards the window. Kazuya held his hands so that Tatsuya could climb on them and grab the margin of the window. But somehow he lost his balance and fell right on Kazuya.
Tatsuya stood like that without moving and Kazuya grabbed his shoulders raising his face.
"Are you alright?"
"Hai... Did I hurt you?"
"You didn't hurt me."Kazuya smiled a gentle smile. "It was a mistake letting you climb the window since you are the one hurt. I'm at fault. I thought you were thinner than me" KAzuya winked.
"Gomen.." Tatsuya mumbled.
"Baka. It's nothing to apologize for. Here hold your hands like this and I'll try climbing the window."
Tatsuya did as he was told and Kazuya managed to grab the edge of the window. With a push from Tatsuya he fell on the other side.
Kazuya went to the door and knocked.
"Ueda-san...wait for me here I'll go get the janitor. Alright?"
"Haai..." he answered with a low voice. As he heard Kazuya fade away he suddenly felt his legs getting numb and his vision blurry. It wasn't long until he fainted and fell on the floor.
..................................
When Tatsuya woke up he realized he wasn't in the deposit but in a room he has never been before. He looked around and stood up confused and a little bit dizzy. He noticed his clothes were different and his uniform was on a chair next to the bed.
"How are you feeling?"
Tatsuya looked towards the direction he heard the voice and he noticed Kazuya sitting on a chair in the dark.
"A little dizzy. Itai!" he suddenly throbbed touching his head.
"Now that's because you fell and hit your head." Kazuya approached him with a warm smile on his face.
Tatsuya looked at the watch with a concerned expression and realized it was 11 in the night then he became agitated trying to get down from the bed.
"Oh no you don't!" Kazuya got up from his chair like a speeding bullet and pushed him back on the bed.
"You'll stay here with me until you get well and then we will make sure you get your revenge..."
"But..."
"No buts! I am your friend now and I will protect you"
"This is a small place I don't have money how can I?"
"Can you cook?" Kazuya asked pressing his elbows against the bed next to Tatsuya.
"A little..." he hesitated.
"Then it's settled. You'll live with me"KAzuya patted his head. "And don't worry about your highschool fees. I'll take care of them." he noticed Tatsuya was looking at his uniform so he continued. "Oh don't worry, I didn't see anything it was dark."he grinned.
Tatsuya looked very surprised at the boy sitting next to him. He was just a boy after all but mature and dependable.
Kazuya smiled again and sat back on his chair.
"Sleep more, I'll watch over you"
"Ano...why are you doing this?" Tatsuya asked but Kazuya closed his eyes. A silence covered both of them , the one in bed staring at the one sitting on the chair.
"Because I am also a lonely person" Kazuya mumbled eyes still closed.
Tatsuya stared at him for a while because he didn't know what to say to his savior. As much as he wanted to believe Kazuya he was a little bit concerned of what he had in mind. He never trusted anyone and maybe this is the time when he should begin trusting someone. Even if it is a strange mysterious student who smokes in the school's deposit. He put his head on the pillow and closed his eyes, falling asleep instantly. It had been a long time since he fell asleep in a bed without worrying that his father might beat him.
Hours passed by , they were both sleeping soundly Kazuya on the chair and Tatsuya in his bed. The light from the sunrise came and invaded the room, caressing Tatsuya's peaceful face. KAzuya suddenly opened his eyes, somehow scared of something and went towards the bed. He looked at the one sleeping before him and tucked a lock of hair behind his ear. When he suddenly moved in his sleep he took back his hand worried he might have woken him up. Then he noticed Tatsuya was trembling and covered him with the blanket.
"Father...no...please... stop! Father...Father" he moved his head from one side to another and tears were falling down his cheeks. "No father pleaaase"
Then he woke up panting. He looked around because he didn't realize where he was but when he saw KAzuya he grabbed his head against his chest and continued crying. Kazuya smiled gently, somehow impressed that Tatsuya trusted him so much.
"It's ok, he won't hurt you anymore, I promise." He got up from his embrace and took Tatsuya in his arms patting his head and tucking his hair behind his ear.
Kazuya was mumbling a song rocking Tatsuya on the rhytm.
"I think you should go take a shower because it's already time to go to school. You are up to it, right?" he said after noticing Tatsuya calmed down.
"Un.." he mumbled into Kazuya's T-shirt.
They both got up, Tatsuya went to take a shower and Kazuya made the bed. He arranged Tatsuya's uniform and put it on the bed then he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. When the other one came back he had only a towel around his hips and Kazuya turned around to ask him how he liked the eggs.
The pan he was holding in his hand fell on the floor making a loud noise. He swallowed staring at Tatsuya. His bruises were even more evident now that he was half naked. But there was something about him that made him look different. You might expect a frail , thin body but it wasn't like that at all.
"Um..." Kazuya swallowed embarrased.
Tatsuya was staring at the floor then when he realized he came out of the shower with only the towel around him he ran in the bedroom and closed the door. Kazuya took the pan , threw the egg that was spilled on the floor and ran after Tatsuya.
"Please open the door...it's just that you startled me that's all"
"I am a monster" Kazuya heard him from behind the door.
"Ta...tsuya" Kazuya put a hand on the door closing his eyes. "Why don't you fight back?" he found himself asking but it was clear that in moments like that it was hard to find the courage to fight back.
It was silent for a moment then he heard his voice again, but this time it was faded.
"I am afraid it would get worse if I do something "
"Tatsuya..." KAzuya hit the door with anger in his eyes."The reason I got surprised it wasn't because of your bruises" he waited for a reply then he continued."Leaving that aside, you have an amazing body" Kazuya swallowed again praying he wouldn't missunderstand.
"Are you mocking me?" Tatsuya suddenly asked.
"No...I am quite surprised. Would you please open the door? I can't talk to you like this." he grabbed the door handle waiting for him to unlock it. Tatsuya covered himself with his school uniform. "I won't ask you anything else, just that I will protect you until you will be strong enough...in here" he touched Tatsuya's heart. They were staring at each other but something else happened even Tatsuya didn't expect it.
A tear was falling on Kazuya's cheek but his eyes never stopped looking at him. A bond was made...
END OF CHAPTER 1
Ok! Yoshi! Before you all kick my ass(and throw tomatoes at me) for doing this to Tat-chan (which is not the only thing but you'll forgive me later on) please be patient I know it's angsty and sad and you wanna cry (my stomach turned upside down writing this) but I promise I will make everything better for Tat-chan.
It's just that I realized I am much better at writing this kinda stuff than comedies or pure romance.
BTW if you feel like you don't want to read anymore I understand that's what the warning was all about anyway.
I wanted to write all the chapters but I realized that it will turn out to be a long fic so I decided to post what I have written until now.
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu~~ and thank you for reading!
Comments make Tat-chan forget the pain :)
Small note for the title: first it was NO MORE PAIN then because I thought people would confuse it with the song itself I thought I should put A lion's heart (because lions are great animals like Tat-chan's heart is strong and courageous) but then I didn't want to give up NMP title so I let both of them something like the pain began to fade a way while Tat-chan's heart grew bigger and stronger because in the end that's what made him stronger...his heart and not his body or physical strength.
Quick note: I realized that i wrote at the beginning he wasn't good at any sports...I meant any sport inside the school:D
I HAD TO CHANGE THE FONT CAUSE THE POST IS TOO LARGE. It's the first time something like this happens to me. Or this LJ change post length? Anyway...>_<
Double lj cut again..sorry about this I will try fix it later...until the just click one of the links ok? it's the same...

"Ta...tsuya" Kazuya put a hand on the door closing his eyes. "Why don't you fight back?" he found himself asking but it was clear that in moments like that it was hard to find the courage to fight back.
It was silent for a moment then he heard his voice again, but this time it was faded.
"I am afraid it would get worse if I do something "
"Tatsuya..." KAzuya hit the door with anger in his eyes."The reason I got surprised it wasn't because of your bruises" he waited for a reply then he continued."Leaving that aside, you have an amazing body" Kazuya swallowed again praying he wouldn't missunderstand.
"Are you mocking me?" Tatsuya suddenly asked.
"No...I am quite surprised. Would you please open the door? I can't talk to you like this." he grabbed the door handle waiting for him to unlock it. Tatsuya covered himself with his school uniform. "I won't ask you anything else, just that I will protect you until you will be strong enough...in here" he touched Tatsuya's heart. They were staring at each other but something else happened even Tatsuya didn't expect it.
A tear was falling on Kazuya's cheek but his eyes never stopped looking at him. A bond was made...
END OF CHAPTER 1
Ok! Yoshi! Before you all kick my ass(and throw tomatoes at me) for doing this to Tat-chan (which is not the only thing but you'll forgive me later on) please be patient I know it's angsty and sad and you wanna cry (my stomach turned upside down writing this) but I promise I will make everything better for Tat-chan.
It's just that I realized I am much better at writing this kinda stuff than comedies or pure romance.
BTW if you feel like you don't want to read anymore I understand that's what the warning was all about anyway.
I wanted to write all the chapters but I realized that it will turn out to be a long fic so I decided to post what I have written until now.
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu~~ and thank you for reading!
Comments make Tat-chan forget the pain :)
Small note for the title: first it was NO MORE PAIN then because I thought people would confuse it with the song itself I thought I should put A lion's heart (because lions are great animals like Tat-chan's heart is strong and courageous) but then I didn't want to give up NMP title so I let both of them something like the pain began to fade a way while Tat-chan's heart grew bigger and stronger because in the end that's what made him stronger...his heart and not his body or physical strength.
Quick note: I realized that i wrote at the beginning he wasn't good at any sports...I meant any sport inside the school:D
