3rd Person P.O.V.
BamBam was crying in his arms. He didn't know what the hell to do. Mitzuki assumed he was here to drag him back to Izuka Yang but the next thing he knows is that BamBam's crying on his shoulder and squishing him in the tightest hug. 'Why is he crying on me?' he thought confusedly. "BamBam? Hey, what's wrong man?" Mitzuki tentatively lifted his arms and hugged the older, rubbing his back to try and ease the pain the other must have been feeling. 'If I let him get it out he'll feel better then I can find out what's going on.' He thought, rubbing the others back in long calming circles. "Let it out, you'll feel better when you do." Mitzuki was, by nature, a deeply caring person and his need to take care of someone who was hurting took priority over his own feeling of needing to get as far away as possible from one of the men who had previously hurt him badly.
"I'm sorry, Mitzuki, I'm sorry I left but he knew I... He knew something about me and threatened you, so I left. I left you alone and I'm so, so sorry. I should 've taken you with me, should have just packed you up and taken you when I left there. I'm sorry, I--" The heart-aching tears had slowed now and the pink haired male was trying to explain something but not being particularly forthcoming with anything except apologising to one puzzled brunette. "BamBam. Stop, it's okay, look at me." Mitzuki took BamBam's cheek in his palm and soft brown eyes caught pale blue. "Slow down, stop apologising for a minute and explain from the start. I don't know what you're apologizing for." BamBam's shocked eyes opened wide at his comment and he backed out of the embrace, "You - you don't remember?" Ice blue eyes probed chocolate brown orbs, "You... you really don't. What did he do to you?"
A short bitter laugh escaped Mitzuki's throat. "Ha. Haha. Izuka Yang? You want to know what Izuka Yang did to me? It'd be easier for you to ask what he didn't do to me." Shoving the pink haired male roughly before lifting his hoodie and tee-shirt over his head; he bared his naked body from the waist up, with his arms out to his sides he turned in a slow circle. BamBam saw scars so twisted he couldn't have imagined them, marring the once pristine skin of the man he loved. Dozens of cigarette burns, twisted scars from where the younger had been sliced and stabbed. Wounds that hadn't healed properly for any number of reasons, burn marks that could have been points of electrocution... And two bullet holes.
When the light-brunette spoke again his voice was so cold that the older male shuddered with the icy hatred it contained. "This, Kaard, is what Izuka Yang and his boys have done to me - what they took pleasure in doing to me. This is the result of four years with him. Until just over a year ago when a miracle happened and I was able to leave. He broke my ribs, my legs, my arms, a shoulder, my pelvis and my heart. I have scarring in so many places you won't see and I won't say. I died BB, he literally fucking killed me and had me brought back. Do you have ANY idea how much that fucking hurts? Or what it does to your insides? I've died so many times that I don't even know how I am still alive! I wished every day that he would kill me, because every time I thought my life couldn't get worse - it did."
The previously soft brown eyes now seemed void of all emotion as the met iced blue, the complete lack of emotion sent another shudder through BamBam. "Izuka Yang cut me, poisoned me and drugged me. Izuka Yang starved me and raped me, or he would whore me to his friends for a night or a weekend and let them rape me, drug me, torture me... Whatever they wanted as long as they didn't touch my pretty face. I very clearly recall you taking advantage of that! Or was that just my imagination?" Mitzuki spat venomously.
"Why are you even here? Are you here to take me back to him and it's just my bad fucking luck that you found me here? A year later. If you don't remember pinning me with a katana and fucking me half to death then I don't understand what you're doing here, or how you even found me. You've been his loyal dog since the start - the only favour you ever did for me was not seeing me walk away that night. As far as I'm concerned that's the only fav-- MMHPHHMMM" BamBam shoved his hand over Mitzuki's mouth to stop him speaking. "SHUT UP! JUST - SHUT UP FOR A SECOND ALRIGHT!" BamBam shouted at Mitzuki, he needed a minute to think, to absorb what he'd seen and heard - he never took part in any of the horrors this boy had endured. He needed to clarify a few things.
Staring at the boy whose mouth he'd just covered the pinkette started to explain himself, taking a breath to prepare himself he began to speak softly. " Mitzuki, I left Qīpiàn City three and a half years ago. I was forced to leave because Izuka Yang found out I'd fallen in love with you. I don't know how he found out but he promised he would kill you if I stayed, Izuka knew I would try to fight for you and that I would try to take you away from him. I knew how possessive he was of you but I never thought he would go to the extremes he went to with you. I wanted to take your sweet, innocent self and run away together to somewhere he wouldn't find you again. I threatened to take you and leave so he threatened your life. He described in detail how he was going to kill you and that he would make me watch if I didn't leave immediately - without you. So I left. I left to protect you and now you're telling me my sacrifice was for nothing, then you accuse me of being involved in what that fucker's done to you? No. No Way. Fuck No. Did you not you hear me properly when I said I'm in love with you?"
Mitzuki stilled and a shocked look landed on his face. "MMPHT?" The brunette shook his head, gently taking the hand over his mouth he pulled it off and held it loosely in his own. "You... You were serious when you said you loved me?" The pink haired male shook his head, "No. Not loved, LOVE. I fell in love and never stopped falling for you 'Zuki." The youngers mouth formed an 'oh' but the sound didn't leave his lips. "I thought I'd never see you again, but-" BamBam was interrupted by Mitzuki's soft and trembling voice. "But I'm here. And you're here. And now I'm confused as fuck because if it wasn't you doing those things to me that whole time then who was it? BB, who has your face, and your voice, your body? Who is it that did that shit to me? Tell me, BamBam, if it wasn't you then who was it?" Tears could be heard in Mitzuki's voice in the thickening of his accent, his grip tightening their hands, the glossy look in his eyes.
BamBam shook his head. "I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you or to stop any of this. I'm sorry I didn't take you away and let him chase me awa--" "Stop. Stop it! STOP saying you're sorry! I don't want to hear it anymore!" "I'm sor... You know what, nevermind. Fuck this and fuck you. You don't have to believe me or listen to me so I'll just leave." BamBam pulled his hand out of Mitzuki's, roughly swiping at the liquid falling from his tired blue eyes he backed away, turning to leave the room he spotted the book on the floor so he picked it up, straightened it out and placed it on the desk. Pausing a moment but not turning around, he said something that struck Mitzuki in the heart. "Just so you know, you're one of the lucky ones. You survived that bastard. I'm happy for you. I'm sorry, for everything. You won't see me from now. Goodbye Kim."
BamBam walked out the door and closed it softly.
------- ------- -------
BamBam pressed his forehead against the cold wood of the door for a moment, letting the tears fall that he wouldn't show the man he'd loved for almost five years. They streaked down his face as if it were a race to get to the bottom. Exhaling shakily he made his way back downstairs, back to Eijirou and the questions he knew he'd be asked. Wiping the tears from his face and putting on a fake smile he walked back to the bar where the cheerful dark brunette was making coffee behind the bar. "Hey Jinhong! Let's have that drink tonight, yeah?" He called in a thick voice, having to clear his throat to speak. This made the dark brunette look over to him, furrowing his brows because he could sense something off. BamBam was different from when he'd gone upstairs a while ago; he had red rimmed and watery eyes, the scratchiness of his voice clearly showed he was upset about something. "Sure bro, no worries! Hey, is Kim okay when you left him?"
"Yeah. Mitzuki's fine. He's peachy, even. And he can go the fuck to hell. Gotta admit he's grown a pair of balls since the last time I saw him. Jus' come to my place after your shift okay... please? Hit me up later." The dark brunette's eyebrows went up. Yep, something was way wrong with the situation. "Bro! You didn't tell me you knew Ki-" "Just... S-shut up. I'm going." BamBam mock saluted Eijirou, a gesture definitively ending the conversation as he made his exit from the building as if he was running from something. "BamBam. BamBam! BB! Wait up you fucker!" Jinhong Eijirou's head snapped toward the young male as he rushed down the stairs two at a time, chasing the pinkette, hot on his heels. "What the fuck?" he whispered to himself as his normally shy and very quiet friend bolted past him and skidded out the door, shooting him a look of apology as he flew out the exit after BamBam.
Eijirou slid his mobile out of his pocket and made a phone call.
