Boy in the wall

[need_better_scissors]

Teddy had been homeless for a while, sitting in his little box, hoping that someone may drop some yen for him out of pity. Though at this point it seemed hopeless, he was now a fourteen year old boy and far less cute than he was before. He only had one repeat visitor and that was a boy named Kuu. It was a strange name but he showed up everyday since he was ten. How had he survived four years on his own was amazing but how Kuu had been surviving his cruel parents was even more amazing. "Kuu-chan....Why have you been visiting me every day? Don't you have school or something...?"

Not that he was any better, he hadn't been to school in years and had only been able to learn things through discarded books. And that was all just to pass the time.

Teddy wasn't always talkative and that was clear. Teddy shyly nuzzled into him, blushing deeply at the new show of affections. Their fingers were still laced together and their bodies pressed together kept both boys nice and warm.

"I won't go cold anymore." He promised, he didn't want the other to worry.

"I....can walk you back in the morning..."

[waills]

"Really? That would be so great..." Kuu raised his head and booped Teddy's nose with his own.

"Hey, Teddy...I'd like to ask you one thing," He began shortly after, his voice trembling a little. "You...you wouldn't leave me no matter what happens, right?"

[need_better_scissors]

Teddy quickly turned his head away when Kuu got too close, his cheeks flushing deeply from how close they had just been. "D-don't do that...." he murmured shyly.

He blinked when Kuu asked him such a strange question. "I wouldn't leave you, even if you turned out to be some killer or something.." he murmured, cheeks flushing.

[waills]

"Oh..." Kuu's eyes started to shine when Teddy answered him. That meant a lot to him and for a moment he found himself at loss. But in a moment, he realized what he should do.

Kuu, despite what Teddy had said before, leaned in close again and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Me? A killer? You're so funny, Teddy!"

[need_better_scissors]

Teddy made a small sound in surprise once he felt Kuu's strangely cool lips press against his very warm cheek. It was very embarrassing but Teddy did nothing to pull away.

He even pressed a little closer to Kuu, Teddy opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by a soft tap on their clear roof, then it slowly turned into pitter patter.

When he looked up, he saw that it was now raining outside and raining hard. "Ah..." He cuddled closer to him for warmth.

[waills]

"Do you want to sleep? I'll stay awake." Kuu offered, stroking Teddy's hair soothingly. He could only imagine how many sleepless nights Teddy had spent on those streets. "I'll wake you up if something happens."

[need_better_scissors]

"No... If it's raining then someone is bound to try and get in here." Which meant Teddy would have to be very vigilant. Though Kuu's warm embrace made him feel very sleepy, his body warmth, despite being slightly cooler than his own body made him feel soothed and safe.

[waills]

"I'll protect you." A strong conviction rang in Kuu's voice as he pulled Teddy closer. For once, he wanted his friend to rest and not to worry about what could happen.

[need_better_scissors]

Teddy blinked at him, actually surprised at first by Kuu's response, before he started laughing softly. Kuu was scared of everything that had to do with the alley, how could he protect him? "That's alright. I'm the one whose supposed to protect you remember?"

[waills]

"D-Don't laugh at me, I can protect you too..." Kuu blushed brightly as Teddy's reaction made him feel embarrassed. "A-And I will...no matter what you say."

[need_better_scissors]

Teddy tried to stop himself from laughing when he was told not to laugh at him, instead focusing more on embracing him and curling into his arms. "You don't need to do that..."

[waills]

"You're unbelievable." Kuu pouted when he noticed Teddy holding back his chuckle, but he didn't push him away; instead Kuu pulled him into a hug and let out a sigh. "Y-You're the only person I can lean on."

[need_better_scissors]

"And you're the only one I need...." Teddy didn't need another soul in his life which was why after a moment of relaxing in his arms, he spoke in a very soft murmur so soft that Kuu may not even hear him over the rain.

"It's Haruka....."

[waills]

"Haruka? Where?" Kuu was pretty sure that Teddy spotted (or sensed) someone coming. Really confused, he blinked at Teddy. Didn't he say that he was the only one he needed...and then he began talking about some Haruka...

[need_better_scissors]

Teddy blushed softly when he realized that Kuu didn't realize what he was saying. "You asked for my real name years ago..... It's Haruka." He murmured, burring his face in his chest to hide his blush. He felt so stupid for not telling him when he had asked. But he just.... He didn't love himself so he switched names with his teddy bear. But....He didn't want Kuu to like and praise his bear, he wanted Kuu to praise and love him, Haruka.

[waills]

"Haruka...Haru-chan."

It didn't take him too long to shorten it; he loved it when Haruka would call him "Kuu-chan", so he thought that it would be the same for the other boy.

"Haru-chan, Haru-chan, Haru-chan..."

He sang quietly, smiling at the other boy.

[need_better_scissors]

Haruka blushed deeply as Kuu started to call him Haru-chan, a small shiver rolling down his spine. It felt so weird to be called by his name again after so long. But at the same time it felt good to hear his name spoken so lovingly.

"Don't tease me...."

[waills]

"I'm not teasing you, Haru-chan." Kuu laughed, really happy that the other boy finally shared his name with him. "I like your name! Very much! It's so pretty...Haru-chan."

[need_better_scissors]

"It's...it's not that great of a name..." he murmured, pressing closer to him as a cold breeze brushed past the tarp. Haruka sighed softly and crawled over to tie it down again.

"My sister told me it means cold and distant and that who would want to be friends with a boy with such a girly and depressing name?"

[waills]

Kuu pulled him back into an embrace after he tied it down and smiled warmly at the boy.

"Me. Whatever your name would be, I'd be your friend. You're not cold and distant at all. You're my Haru-chan."

[need_better_scissors]

Haruka flushed deeply when Kuu pulled him into another loving embrace. He only grew more flushed as Kuu praised him, especially when Kuu called him, 'His'.

"I'm your Haru-chan...?

[waills]

Kuu didn't think much when he was saying that, but he meant it nevertheless.

"You are..." He had no idea whether should he be sorry for saying such things or not. But he didn't want to be sorry for what he felt towards him.

[need_better_scissors]

"What do you mean by it....?" Haruka asked, gazing up at him with flushed cheeks. He hugged him tighter as his deep purple eyes gazed up at him

Did he like him? Was he possessive? He wanted to know Kuu's feelings for him.

[waills]

Kuu swallowed and averted his gaze, flushed. He didn't know how he should properly say this, but he wanted Haruka to know.

"I meant...as long as I have you I don't need anyone else." It still wasn't good and he felt it, but he couldn't find another words.

[need_better_scissors]

"So... I'm yours...?" Haruka asked his eyes lighting up a bit. That would make Kuu his too right? Which meant they would be together forever....

"And you're....mine....right...?" Haruka asked as he cupped his face and leaned up.
