Summary: Yuto is a very quite guy and never talk with others. People call him mute, people call him weird and he always end up being bullied. He doesn't have any friend. His friend was only an abandoned kitten and Ryosuke is trying to be a replacement for that kitten as Yuto's pet.
Chapter 6
Ryosuke walk and keep walking along the street even though he doesn't know where he's going. Everyone who is passing by will look at him strangely. Some covering their mouth with disgust eyes, looking at him from head to toe, staring at the blood stain on his shirt but he doesn't care of it all. His eyes are more focus at the taller back before him. The way people are looking at him is a lot worst. His shirt covered with more blood, still red and wet. Ryosuke has been following Yuto from school, walking behind him silently without any word come out from their mouth. In his heart, he keeps cursing those cruel bastards who killed Kyo-chan. He thought people are bullying Yuto using violence and those people must have been watching him all along since they knew about Kyo. They killed his cat and probably they will do the same thing to Yuto. He just couldn’t bring himself to understand why they hate Yuto so much.
"Stop following me", Yuto suddenly broke the silent when they already in front of his apartment.
"A pet should follow its master no matter where he goes", Ryosuke answered.
He already made his decision back at the school. Even until now, he still couldn't believe that he made such crazy decision. He wants to be together with Yuto always, stick with him like glue all the time. He's scared if someone hurt Yuto and he might do something reckless now that he lost the only reason that keeps him alive. Ryosuke saw it in Yuto's eyes, as if he wanted to be buried together with Kyo-chan. Become his pet is only an excuse for him to be by his side, to keep his eyes on him. Just thinking of losing the person that he loves the most make him trembling all over his body.
"Could you stop saying this bullshit? You're not a pet, you're a human for God's sake!" Yuto raise his voice. He just couldn't understand what have got into Ryosuke's mind that made him became like this.
"I can be one. Let me be Kyo's substitute."
"You're insane!" Yuto turn away from Ryosuke and walk toward his place. The shorter patiently follow him from behind. After Yuto un-lock the door and shove himself in, he try to shut the door before Ryosuke but he push it hard and Yuto struggle to fight his strength.
"Let me in!"
"No! Get lost!"
"I'm your pet. You have to keep me!"
"I can’t keep a pet in my place!" Yuto push the door with his shoulder but the gap of the door is getting bigger and finally Ryosuke could force it open.
"I'm a human remember? So there's no problem for you to keep me", he said while panting hard. He did use a lot of strength to push the door and Yuto was surprisingly strong.
Yuto lost his word. He doesn't know how to stop him anymore. He can't handle Ryosuke's stubbornness and he had no choice but to surrender. The moment Ryosuke step into Yuto's room he suddenly realized this is the first time he ever come to Yuto's place. His cheeks blush in red and become nervous right away. His heart beat even faster when Yuto unbutton his blood covered shirt and toss it on the floor. He walks toward his bathroom but then he stops and put his hand in the pocket. He takes out something form his pocket and staring at it with watery eyes.
It's Kyo-chan's collar. Yuto must have took it off from Kyo-chan before Ryosuke burried her. He brings the collar to the sink and washes off the blood stain on it. Ryosuke just watch Yuto's shaking shoulders while biting his bottom lip. He knows that Yuto is washing the collar not only with the water but also with his tears. He put the collar on the table before he steps into the bathroom. Ryosuke meet his forehead with the door. The sound of showering water couldn’t hide Yuto's sobs. He slides down his forehead against the door until he sits on the cold floor and tears are pouring as fast as water pouring from the shower.
Yuto open the bathroom door with swollen eyes. Ignoring Ryosuke who's sitting on the floor in front of him, he walks toward his bedroom and the shorter tailing him from behind.
"Y-Yuto-kun, can I borrow your shower?" he asked nervously. His clothes and his hands still covered with blood.
"Go home", Yuto answered while buttoning his clean shirt.
"I want to stay."
"You can't."
"Why not? I'm your pet."
"Enough with this nonsense, Ryosuke!" Yuto shout making the shorter startled.
"Go home! Your parents will get worried" Ryosuke suddenly realized. He totally forgot about his parents and it's already this late. His parents must be freaking out by now.
"Yuto-kun, I have to go now but I'll come back tomorrow", he said while rushing off to the door.
"I promise", said Ryosuke before he close the door. Along the way to his house, he keeps praying in his heart that Yuto is going to be safe and he will not do something stupid.
When he arrived at his house, he was right. His parents are freaking out like hell not only because he was late but also because of red stain all over his shirt. Ryosuke try to calm down his parents before he tell them everything about what happened. He also tell them about Yuto's condition and he wish to stay with him for the time being so he could watch over him.
"What are troublesome friend you have there", said his father, Yamada-san who seem to disagree about Ryosuke's decision.
"He's not a troublesome friend, Tou-chan. He's my...best friend", he looks down on the floor. There's no way he could tell his parents that he loves Yuto more than anything and what worst, he is Yuto's pet now.
"Kaa-chan, onegai. I'm his only friend and he really needs me", Ryosuke plead.
"This Yuto-kun...he must be a very important person to you deshou?" his mother caressing his cheek and Ryosuke answer with a nod before he rest his lips on his mother's palm. She understands her son's feeling by looking at Ryosuke's eyes. She is his mother after all and a mother’s instinct never wrong. She knows that person who called Nakajima Yuto means everything for her son even though she never meets that boy.
"You can stay with him but with one condition, you have to visit here always", she gave her permission which replied with hug from Ryosuke.
"Arigatou, Kaa-chan. Daisuki~" he snuggle closer to his mother feeling so grateful while his father only shakes his head before letting out a long sigh.
………
On the next day, it’s already sunset when Ryosuke stand in front of Yuto’s place carrying a big luggage with him. He planned to come here early in the morning but his father won’t let him go and lectured him all day long. He ran here as fast as he could, hoping Yuto is okay. He inhales a deep breath before he press the door bell. First ring, Yuto didn’t open the door. He presses it again and wait but the door still closed. He started to feel uneasy, his mind telling him that something bad might happened to Yuto and his finger won’t stop from pushing the bell repeatedly. Ryosuke raise his fist to knock the door but it suddenly opened and he gulps his saliva seeing Yuto who look so fierce.
“Urusai. What the hell are you doing here?”
Ryosuke feel sharp pain in his heart. Since yesterday, Yuto spoke with him harshly and being cold toward him but he can’t blame Yuto for that. Yuto must have hated him for breaking his promise to look after Kyo-chan and she died because of that. But he won’t give up easily. He decided to become Kyo-chan’s replacement and he wouldn’t mind if Yuto treat him badly if that the only way he could pay for his blame. Seeing Yuto all safe and alive is the only thing he asked for.
“Good morning, master” Ryosuke smile brightly and let himself in.
“Oy!” Yuto is about to nag him but he paused when he see Ryosuke’s luggage.
“What’s up with that luggage?” he frowned.
“Yuto-kun, from now on I’m going to stay here with you”, Ryosuke answered.
“Huh?”
“Oh, don’t worry about my parents. They allowed me to stay here as long as I want.”
“Wait, what?”
Ryosuke chuckles seeing Yuto’s stunned expression. He stepping closer to Yuto and snuggle into his chest, listening to the taller uncertain heartbeat.
“I’m your pet and a pet should stay together with its master. I’m doing what Kyo-chan couldn’t do, to keep your company in this house. I’ll be with you always…”
Yuto sigh before he grab Ryosuke’s shoulders and break the hug. He ruffles his already messy hair and tosses himself on the couch. He lean back his head and pinch his forehead. His head is spinning and it hurt so badly. He knew Ryosuke will never change his mind no matter what he trying to say. The shorter look so determined and his stubborn head will dodge all harsh words and rejection that he threw to his face. Ryosuke noticed that Yuto is raising the white flag and he grin for his victory. He bounces himself on the couch beside Yuto and sit on his knees cutely. Then he bows his head.
“Pet my head?” Ryosuke asked shyly but Yuto answered with long sigh. He’s not giving up so he lays his head on Yuto’s lap making the taller agitated.
“Yuto~ pet my head~” he pout while his forefinger drawing a circle on Yuto’s lap and his pamper act does shake Yuto’s cold heart a bit. He stretches his hand toward Ryosuke’s browned hair which resembles Kyo-chan’s a lot. His hand paused when he almost touches him but then he rumples Ryosuke’s hair until it got really messy.
“Gya!” Ryosuke close his eyes when Yuto messing up with his hair.
“Mou~Yuto-kun, is that how you petting your cat?” he turn his head to face Yuto while correcting his bang, still lying on Yuto’s lap.
“Are you complaining?” Yuto raise his right eyebrow. The shorter asked for it so he will play along. Ryosuke covered his mouth with both hands and shakes his head. Yuto stare at those brown orbs. Somehow, having a headache because of Ryosuke’s weird behaviors makes him forget the sorrow in his heart. He lean back his head again, staring at the empty ceiling before he gone to a dreamland. Ryosuke curl up facing Yuto. He slowly grabs Yuto’s hand and places it on his cheek.
“I love your warmth the most, my master” he snuggle into Yuto’s palm while curving a smile. Soon after that, he too falls asleep with comfort of Yuto’s warmth and his calm breathing becomes Ryosuke’s lullaby. Not knowing when, Ryosuke’s arms already wrapped around the taller waist and Yuto’s fingers sunk in that browned hair…
The sound of birds chirping awakes Ryosuke from his slumber. He’s a bit surprised at first seeing his unfamiliar surrounding but then he remembered that he moved into Yuto’s place last night. He looks aside and Yuto was no longer on the couch.
“Yuto!” he sits immediately and looks around the room. He sighs in relief after he saw Yuto is sleeping peacefully on the bed. He folds his arms on the top of the couch back and rests his chin on it while staring at the sleeping figure. Yuto must have waked up in the middle on the night and make himself more comfortable. “I wonder if I made his legs numb?” he feels a bit guilty sleeping on his lap like that. But last night he felt warm hand on his scalp giving him a soothing feeling throughout the night and he could still remember it until now. He touches his head, wondering if that was just a dream.
After done taking bath and put on his school uniform, Yuto still snoring on the bed. He thought of fixing a breakfast before he wakes him up but when he opens the fridge, it’s empty inside. There’s nothing for him to cook and he sigh in disappointment. He was hoping to cook for Yuto and having breakfast for the first time as living together.
“Ma…I still have all the time in the world~” he chuckles. It’s true. He still could have a perfect breakfast with Yuto next morning, and the next morning after that, and the next morning after that…
When he closed the fridge, he saw a black collar that used to be around Kyo-chan’s neck on the table. He takes the collar into his palm and brings it to his lips. He misses Kyo-chan so much and he knew Yuto miss her even more. Ryosuke look at the collar closely, wondering if it fit on his neck since it’s have lot of holes and adjustable. He tries to put on the collar and adjust the buckle right into the last hole. Surprisingly, the collar fit on his neck.
“Uwah. It really fit on me”, Ryosuke is standing in front of the mirror, observing the collar with silver bear pendant around his neck and since its leather type with diamante buckle, it doesn’t look so much like a pet collar when it on human’s neck.
“It looks good on me, ne? Kyo-chan…”
Ryosuke sit on the bed and remove Yuto’s bang which covering his eyes.
“Yuto-kun, wake up” he shake Yuto’s shoulder gently.
“Ngh…” Yuto tosses his head aside.
“Yuuto~ we gonna be late for school” this time he shakes Yuto a bit rough but the taller still reluctant to wake up. Ryosuke smirk when he got another idea how to wake him up. He placed his left hand beside Yuto’s head and lowering his lips to Yuto’s ear.
“Wake up, master~” Ryosuke whispered before he lick Yuto’s cheek. His eyes open wide in shock and raise his head from the pillow immediately, full wake up.
“W-w-what are you doing? Did you just lick me?” Yuto touch his cheek that still wet.
“I’m your pet, deshou? It’s normal for me to lick you”, he smiles cutely.
“Come on, we already late for school” he pull Yuto’s hand but he shrug him off.
“I don’t want to go back to that hell”
“I understand your feeling, Yuto-kun. But you can’t stop studying. It’s such a waste for a smart student like you. If you quit school means you admitting your defeat toward those bastards who make you suffer. Don’t let them step on your pride, Yuto-kun. You have to fight back”, Ryosuke hold Yuto’s hand firmly. Deep down, Yuto admit that Ryosuke is right. He also knew that his late mother will be sad if he quit from school.
“We’re going, okay?” Ryosuke almost stand up but Yuto suddenly grab his arm makes him bounce back on the bed. He pull Ryosuke’s shirt exposing the collar on his neck.
“Why are you wearing this?”
“B-because I want to…” Ryosuke’s voice is shaking, afraid if Yuto get angry as he’s wearing his dead cat’s collar without asking him first.
“You want to be Kyo’s replacement that bad huh?” he caresses the pendant with his thumb. There’s bitterness in Yuto’s voice and his hurt expression leave a thousand questions in Ryosuke’s mind.
Seeing Ryosuke’s eyes become teary, Yuto can’t bring himself to get mad anymore. But he does understand one thing. The person in front of him now is no longer his friend. This person is forcing himself to be his pet so he could atone for someone else’s sin. He lost his friend on the same day he lost Kyo. It hurt. It hurt so much that he kept denying to himself and hoped that his friend is still somewhere there inside of this person. He thought maybe he could still save him and bring back his friend who trapped in the dark forest of this person’s heart. However, today he knew he should stop hoping. The moment he put on that collar on his neck is the same as he sealed their relationship as pet and owner. Once he wore it, he shall never take it off. Yuto has lost his first and only best friend…
a/n: don’t worry, it’s not going to be a sad ending ^^ I seriously doubt that cat collar could fit human’s neck but…oh well, for this fic just assume it does XD
Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends who ship Yamajima ~♥
Let’s hope their loves will grow deep each year~
