Chapter 17 - || Ruki ||

"(Name)..."

You look behind you, but before you can catch who it is, he grabs you firmly, hugging you. As rests his head on yours and his soft hair brushes against your cheek.

"I'm sorry..."

Ruki. His voice, which you heard only on occasion, sounds strange to your ears. It usually sounds so monotone. So tired of this world. But now, it sounds fully of emotion. You could comprehend what he felt.

An arm wraps around your shoulder and you felt the outline of his toned chest on your back.

"Eh, Ruki?" you whisper taking a look to the person who held onto you tightly.

Ruki takes in a deep breath and inhales, "The Sakamaki's are bothersome. Most specifically Ayato."

You sigh, "Ayato can be really annoying at sometimes, but that's mostly because of what his mother put him through. She really messed his mind up."

Ruki pulls you closer, against his board chest, "Stop talking about them." He looked away a maddening blush on his face. He didn't know what caused it. But it was too prominent his perfect features.

His sudden outraged voice got you startled and you let out a shocked clatter,

"O-okay.." whispering but still shocked at his abrupt change of mood.

Ruki could feel your discomfort, and the beating of your heart made him feel that you were scared of him. Something that do anything to avoid. He's scared you'd hate him. Why? Even he doesn't know,

"I-I'm sorry..." he whispers into your ears before letting go of your body that he felt was so fragile and needing protection. His protection.

You frown at him and punched his shoulder lightly moving next to him, "Why do you keep apologizing? Those stupid Sakamaki's should be the ones apologizing not you, Ruki-kun."

Ruki looks at you shock consuming his expression.

"W-what?" his gaze sends you into a shuddering mess and you turn away from him,

His blue irises look down and to the side, as if he was thinking deeply about something, then out of nowhere, he says,

"You put me under a weird spell, I don't know if I need an antidote."
