He cried for a long time. Everything hurt. From his head to his stomach everything simply hurt. He laid on the couch, when Subaru entered the room and sat beside him. The others followed and took a seat were they stood.
“We’re truly sorry.” Ryo turned around and tried to ignore the others. He hiccupped a bit and pulled the blanket over his shoulder. “We would like to talk to you about.. your attitude. We’re worried about you.”
“You don’t even like me! You’re acting nice and like friends when I’m around you but when I’m not by your side you’re just tattling. I’m sorry for bothering you. I will go to a hotel right after our show tomorrow.”, Ryo whined and pulled his knees to his chest. The other men were surprised.
“What the heck..? Why… I mean.. Why are you thinking we don’t like you Ryo! You’re our friend. We know each other since we’re children.”
“That doesn’t mean that you have to like me! So stop it. I’ve heard what you said when I phoned. I piss you off and I’m nerve-racking, a nuisance! So stop acting like my friends.”
“Ryo! You’re really getting crazy. What’s about this attitude? What’s with that Yusei? Who’s that? Yu said he called you about 30 times on your first day here. Is he your boyfriend?” All the others were really curious.
“Sort of..”, Ryo answered and shivered a little bit. He didn’t know if it was because of Yusei or because he was cold. Subaru turned him around forcefully.
“I don’t like to talk to your back, you know?! So.. who is Yusei? You’ve never been so crazy like you are now.. We know you don’t have any family.. and we also know that we are your family. You have always been a nice boy. You’re straight forward but you’re really warmhearted. We really like you and Hina said that we’re really worried about you. Yeah.. you are a nuisance. But we all are. We would never be really mad at you and we’re sorry about this mobile phone joke. It wasn’t funny and we know that.” Shibutani put his hand on Ryos shoulder and looked deep in his eyes. Nishikido was unsure about this but sat up and leaned against the older man. The spell was broken and the others sat beside the two and it turned out to be ‘Member Ai’. Everyone wanted to show that they were the best friends and would stand in for everybody. Like the motto of the three musketeers ‘One for all and all for one!’.
“You have a fever.. why haven’t you told us something about it?”, Shingo asked and watched Ryo.
“Why should I? I wanted to give my best and not to be looked after.”, the older one answered and looked to his friend. Shibutani hugged him tight and laid his head on the one of the taller guy.
“We know you would give your best even if you’re ill.” Murakami mumbled and sighed. “By the way, what have you done to become ill? You usually never get ill.”
Everyone could see how Ryo thought about his explanation until he sank down. “I was late. I mean.. I wasn’t really late. We had to work and it needed more time that I’d expected. When I entered my apartment Yusei was really angry with me. He thought I had done something with NEWS or something. Anyway he took a shower with me and when I wanted to go to the bedroom he grabbed my arm and pushed me on my balcony. He locked me out and my hair was wet.. I don’t know.. I think it has something in common with this incident. My throat hurts like hell and I’m cold.” It was a good feeling to talk about his thoughts. And it was a good feeling to know that someone was by his side and that Yusei wasn’t right after all.
“He did - WHAT??” Okuras eyes went wide and he grabbed Ryos arm. “You’re kidding!” Ryo looked over the younger man and felt - like a little kid. Everyone cared about him and was really worried.
The black haired sighed deeply.
“You know.. when I was a little child my mother died. I’ve played baseball for a few years and I loved it. So I wanted to go on a baseball game of my team when the accident happened. My father thought that it was my fault. And he’s not wrong after all. If I wouldn’t have begged to go to this game my mother wouldn’t have driven.. and she hadn’t died. Anyway one day I went to him because I was worried. He was pale and seemed to be ill. I asked if everything’s okay and he yelled at me. He said I wouldn’t be worth it to live. He hit me and I ran away from home. I was hardly nine years old and really believed him. I lived on a small playground for a few weeks. Then Yusei found me. He showed me the love I really wanted and was a good friend to me.
I didn’t want to be a bother for my father although I really loved him. He is my father so it’s natural to love him, isn’t it? I think it was the best to run away. Yesterday I was at my family’s house. I’ve seen one of my elder brothers and my little sister. And my father.. but I ran away again. However Yusei raised me up till I was 12 years old. He had changed a lot and was now more violent than nice. I was scared of him, scared of everything I did because if something went wrong I was the one on fault. He punished me with different things. I can’t remember everything and I think it’s good the way it is. I ran away again and joined Johnny’s. I lived in a small flat with other kids and I forgot about Yusei. But now he had found me again.
Because of him Yamapi broke up with me. I had to meet him and Yamapi followed me. He crushed in at the worst moment. You know like in a movie. And he said I should call every evening at eight o’clock. Now I couldn’t and he is surely mad at me. I’m really scared of him. He will come to Osaka.” Ryo was sobbing again. It just showed how scared he really was. The young man rolled up his sleeves and showed some bruises he got from his night on the couch. The others took a deep breath and looked over to Ryo.
“We will protect you! He won’t harm you, I promise!!” Subaru nearly shouted and pressed his friend at his breast. Ryo closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the other body.
“Hontou ni arigatou, minnasan.” Nishikido really was thankful and felt five pairs of arms around him.
“For now you’re our protégé!”, Maruyama said and Ryo smiled.
“Now you actually sound really intelligent. I didn’t think you could be like this..”
“Nahh! I love you too, Dokkun!” Everyone laughed and Ryo’s tears did stop to fall down. He felt very comfortable in the middle of his friends and of course he felt really secure.
