After one week

Rin frantically tried moving his arms upwards, as if he was at the bottom of a lake trying to swim to the surface. His efforts were in vain; however, as Rin could see everything that is precious to him were getting farther and farther away...and the ground, closer and closer. He couldn't help but feel a silver of guilt, though, because of the way he rejected Bon without a second thought. After rejecting him, without giving him a good reason, when Bon left, hurt and miserable. The next day, he knew that their relationship will be not the same again.

Ignored and treated, as if they were strangers walking on a road, their friends already knew there was something off between them, but no one could or dared to break this silent treatment between the two, after singing in the competition, and acting as if everything was alright, Rin's patience had reached to its limit, and he masked it well, by his cheerful smile and he couldn't help but to glance secretly at Bon to check if he was alright, and he seemed that he took the rejection very well, all what Rin saw, was Bon well being Bon, he never changed.

Even training with Shura, couldn't distract his confusion thoughts. Even cooking for his brother, or listing to music, and reading his favorite Manga, all these efforts, were in vain. He knew, from the first day, that his thoughts of Bon were the reason, why he had developed a small crush, he tried to convince himself in that time, that these feelings were only as an admiration for another colleague, and well he tried.

But after being raped, he forgot that he had these feelings, forgot how to feel, and forgot that he can still breathe. He was looking forward to start the day; he has a feeling, something is going to happen, so he woke up on time, dressed and ate his breakfast, after that, he went to attend his first class, with his brother, being his teacher.

He entered the class, only to find it empty, glancing at his wristwatch; he mentally kicked himself, the time read, 7:00 which was still early, he sighed, remembered that his clock was broken, and decided to walk around the academy...he shivered as he felt the cold breeze had passed him, rubbing his hands, to keep them warm. Feeling a little bit warmer, he started to walk, trying to think and find his feelings for Bon if they would return and wishing if they could.

"Well, well, well... if it isn't my sweet whore Okumaru Rin"

He froze, wishing if he had not left the academy secure building, surprised as to why he was feeling angry, not fear. He clenched his hands in a tight fist, gritting his teeth in anger; he nearly strangled Reiji, who was standing his mockery stance, showing his cruel smirk that resembled a demon grin, one hand on his hips.

He thought that Mephisto had took care of him, how stupid he must have been, to believe in his worst enemy, suddenly, a ringtone broke the tense silence, which was not from Rin's cell phone, it belonged to Reiji, who answered " Ah, I was waiting your call, so what's your answer?"

He pressed the speaker button, smirking at Rin confused expression, Rin wondered as to why Reiji wanted him to make him hear this private conversation, until he heard the answer, until he heard the voice, that made him startled and weak. A melodic laugh, might I add before laugh, a fake laugh? But it was well masked, and went unnoticed. That's how he knew the voice... that melodic laugh belonged to one person, Rin forgot that he was angry moments ago, and the weight of the world, was again on his shoulders, that weight was too heavy for him to keep standing, he found his knees were wobbling, and from the pressure, he found himself was stuck on the ground, gasping for a breathe. He stopped breathing when he heard the answer, after when the laugh stopped.

"Okay, I can go out with you today"

Bon's answer, made him realize something, he clamped his hand over his mouth. Reiji's sly smirk widened and he disconnected the call; because he knew that he won against Bon, he won the debt that they made and now he can keep everything and everyone away from Rin's reach, just as he promised himself, long time ago.

Rin was feeling numb, he wanted nothing more than to kill this man who stood in front him, who was looking down at him, who started to laugh cruelly at his obvious pain, until he stopped and it was silence for a few moments... Rin wanted to do something, like stand up and punch this guy, but he was afraid... he forced himself to ask this question, which was troubling his mind; he wanted to ask or plead Reiji, for a favor.

"Please, I will do anything, but don't go out with him. You wanted me, right? I will not be able to see someone who I love go out with someone who I hate"

He pleaded in a whisper, hoping that Reiji heard his silent plea, Reiji bent down to where Rin was kneeling, and close enough to whisper huskily into his ears..." You hate me, but I lust for you. While you seem to have feelings for Bon, who doesn't seems to care and he wants me, the one you hate. That's why, I am showing you, how little, does everyone want you"

Rin almost forgot to breathe when Reiji placed, a large, strong hand on his shoulder, almost. Rin gulped in fear and forced himself not to shake, he felt a burning sting in his eyes, as he forced himself, not to believe the truth, Reiji left him on the floor, Rin tried not to believe the truth, he really did, but it was in vain.

Deciding it was the time to go back to class, as he started to walk, he felt drained and tired, tears were streaming down his face... he just wanted to end all of this... Before he entered the secure building, he wiped his tears away that resulted bloodshot eyes. When he reached to the Exwire class, the door was already open, he watched from afar and he tried to make his presence unknown, he watched as how everyone seemed to be fine without him, he watched Bon who was laughing at what Shima joked... "And I can't believe you are going out with that rich person!" Rin heard Shima, Shima: the energetic, hyper teen was happy for Bon who will be going out with THAT person, who was making his life hell again. He felt weak as he watched, the teacher didn't arrive yet, so he stayed watching Bon, how he seemed fine, and happy without him. It was too late to confess for him, he knew it, he was about to leave when he found Yukio was blocking his way, they faced each other.

"Are you going to enter the class?" Even Yukio didn't seem to care, how he looked or felt in that moment, wasn't it obvious? His expressions, his bloodshot eyes, and his pale skin, anyone if they took a glance at Rin's face, will know that there was something wrong with him. "I am showing you, how little, does everyone want you" he gasped loudly when he remembered Reiji's words, and his eyes widened, Yukio was concerned for his brother, as he stepped towards Rin, Rin stepped backwards..." Rin, are you okay" He asked, attempting to mask his uneasiness, he felt hopeless for his brother, how he couldn't help him, he felt useless for him.

Rin seemed to be elsewhere, his face was blank, his eyes were open wide and his pale skin was becoming paler. He tried not to believe in Reiji's words that were echoing inside his mind, he wanted to escape this horrible place, and so he ran away leaving Yukio behind.

Yukio entered to the class, the exorcist students wondered why Yukio seemed down and worried, until he explained why and he excused himself because he wanted to follow his brother Rin, everyone was worried, and decided to help him, everyone but Bon, who was feeling guilty, not worried.

Remembering the debt that he made, with that person, he couldn't help it but to feel angry, his hands were balled in a tight fist making his knuckles turn white from the anger that he was feeling, his teeth were grounded together in both anger and mortification, he stood up angrily and slammed his hands hard on the desk, he couldn't care anymore, THAT person can do anything to him, but he can't take it anymore, watching HIS Rin suffering and acting as if he was fine, he was not fine, in fact, he was the opposite.

He was livid, he stomped out from the classroom, he decided to follow Rin and say how sorry he was, everyone went in a separate ways, suddenly he heard a shout, it was far, he followed the sound...he took the left hallway and then there were stairs that led to the rooftop, the screams continued, he listened carefully and started to take fast and long steps to reach the rooftop, there were many stairs so it took from him some energy and made him pant in exhaustion.

When he reached, he found a closed door in front of him; he could tell that this was the place he was running to, the shouts behind this door were louder , the same shouts he'd heard when he was still running, to help whoever was shouting, the shouts continued and so he couldn't take it anymore... he vigorously smashed the door open with enough strength to crack the wall, he stood and watched as Rin fought with the demon. Rin was still fighting and because he was using his sword kurikara his looks changed, and blue flames increased and surrounded his body.

Bon sat down, crossed his legs and closed his eyes; he took a deep breath and started to recall holy scriptures from what he learned during the lessons" On basara gini nenhatana sowaka" when he said that a huge barrier came out from the ground, his purpose was to protect Rin, who was losing the battle and was thrown hard on the ground, Rin whimpered in pain, and winced when he tried to stand up but couldn't, he saw Bon was protecting him, he was feeling shocked... Bon quickly ran to him, the barrier was slowly breaking from the demon's strong bangs, however, they were saved in the last minute before the barrier could be gone, by Yukio who shot many times at the demon and died.

Sighing in relief, Bon looked at Rin's bruised face, Rin sheathed the sword into its place and so the blue flames were gone, and he transformed back in a second to his human form. Panting in exhaustion, Rin tried to stand up again, but strong arms pushed him to where he lay

"Stay here, you can't walk now I will carry you"

Suddenly he felt himself being carried bridal style by Bon, he resisted at first, until he found himself too tired to move, and he felt warm, his heartbeat were increasing and he feared if Bon could hear them, the tense look on Bon's face didn't faze, his thoughts were all about how Rin looked cute, he held him close to his chest, Rin was trembling like a leaf because of Bon touches,

"Bon, I am so sorry"

Rin whispered sadly, when he saw his brother far enough to report using his cell phone, he swung his face away to look anywhere but in Bon face, he couldn't show his burning face to him.

"What are you apologizing for?"

they started to leave this place and Yukio was talking through the phone, Yukio ran towards them when he finished talking, he wanted to report what happened earlier and he couldn't come with them, so he left Rin and Bon to go ahead alone.

Bon was trying hard not to glance down at Rin face, but he couldn't but to glance and when they both caught looking at each other, they blushed deep red and avoided eye contact.

"Rin, I am sorry I didn't mean to hurt you in that way, I still love you but Reiji might hurt you and so I had to go out with him"

Bon reached to the hospital academy, the nurses came rushing to aid them, when they finished treating Rin wounds in a private room, they allowed Bon to visit him. Rin was on the bed, half awake and half asleep, he couldn't afford himself to sleep, he wanted to confess to Bon, who sat beside him on a hospital chair,

"Bon, is it true? What you said earlier? That you still love me?"

He questioned in a hopeful tone

"If its true then then I think that... "Rin continued stuttering, without warning Bon kissed Rin in a hungry kiss. Rin responded immediately, surprising himself. Bon mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips softer than he could have imagined. He tasted tentatively with his tongue, and Rin opened his mouth with a low and a lusting , Rin pushed Bon away as if he'd been burned…

Bon regretted doing that, he thought Rin will confess to him, he put some space between them, he clenched his hands in a tight fist, he was about to leave when a hand grabbed his wrist , he stopped and turned to look at Rin who was trying hard not to look at him.

"I am sorry, Bon It's just… I want you but if you knew the truth you will be disgusted…

He whispered sadly, hoping to tell him the truth now, he wanted to, but he was afraid if he will lose him, Bon yanked his wrist from Rin's grasp angrily,

"DISGUSTED! YOU THINK I WILL FEEL DISGUSTED, I TOLD YOU THAT I LOVE YOU; I LOVED YOU AS A SON OF SATAN, AS RIN OKUMARU… I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FLAWS; THEY MADE ME LOVE YOU EVEN MORE!"

He took a deep breath to calm himself after that outburst; Rin looked at him in shock, he wanted to say something, anything but he found himself frozen as the realization hit him… Bon was truly in love with him… tears of happiness started to run down Rin face.

"Thank you"

Bon calmed down when he looked at the sobbing Rin, he smiled softly and hugged him close, he started to stroke Rin's hair in a comforting manner, Rin's sobs quieted down as he felt himself being hugged comfortably. They kissed again, this time it was passionate, and a lustful moans came as a response from Rin, Bon pinned Rin down on the bed, and he was looming over him…

Bon's hand were stroking Rin's cheek with the back of his fingers before twining them in his hair, the two leant into one another, dragging their mouths together in a gentle graze, soft pink on a soft pink, they started to kiss hungrily, sadly they needed to break the kiss they both needed air in some point. Bon snuck his tongue out to trace the saliva that's beneath Rin's lips and licked it.

They embraced each other, neither wanted to break this peaceful silence… Rin was about to close his eyes from the tiredness he was feeling, until he heard the door being opened revealing a shocked Yukio and Rin's friends, they all gasped in shock at the sight… and how they could not?

When you see two rivals embracing each other, on the hospital bed?

And to make it worst, two guys?

Rin tried to push Bon of off him, however, it was too late.

' Nii-san, what are you both doing?'

And just like that, they both knew, they were screwed as they gazed at Yukio raged and horrified face.
