Rui Kamishiro

It was another loud day. Rui stuffed a tissue up one nostril and bandaged his scrapes in the nurse's room. The nurse wasn't there, but he knew how to stop bleeding. He'd patched himself up plenty of times, he'd gotten it down by now, though he was a bit careless. He sloppily snipped at the a bandage and wrapped it around one arm. The other arm wasn't as bad and only required a few stick on band-aids. All he could really do for his face was some ice and hope it didn't swell too badly. If it was only a mark he could cover it, but swelling was hard to hide... He limped home, not bothering with his legs since they were always hidden behind his black pants which wouldn't stain anyways. He didn't deserve to be cared for, so he avoided treating most of his injuries. Actually it was probbaly more that it was a bother. Other things like taking care of himself were bothers too. He often couldn't bring himself to eat or shower. Why waste time with thta when he could do something he liked instead? On the way home he passed Tsukasa's place. His parents weren't home a lot either. Though someone as charming as him probably didn't have to fully rely on his parents for attention or any reason to live. Tsukasa was his reason to live, though he doubted the feeling was mutual. He wasn't worth that much. He really should've headed home and gone to bed immediately. He needed to catch up on a few days of missed sleep. Though, even if he wen't home, he probably wouldn't have really slept much. He didn't go home, well, not to his house anyway. He rung Tsukasa's doorbell and waited to see if he was home yet. There was rushing to the door, and Tsukasa opened it. It might've been just his imagination, but Tsukasa's face seemed to fall when he saw it was Rui. He'd probably rather see Saki. Or his parents. Or maybe closer friends from school. Rui fidgeted with the end of his shirt. Why did he come here? He didn't have any real reason... Maybe he was lonely. Maybe he wanted relief from his wish to die. But he didn't know what to say. Tsukasa was kind, he probably wouldn't turn him away, but he wasn't sure if he was wanted. "...Hello Tsukasa-kun..." "..." "Maybe I should go..."
