(Y/n)'s POV

I put a small blade across my wrists, creating cuts here and there. As blood dripped from my hands, my hand slowly felt numb.

'I should just die already... No one wants me here...'

(Insert ringtone of choice)

My thoughts were cut off by my phone ringing. It was from an unknown caller.

"Hello?" I picked up.

"Where the hell are you, Loser?" I flinched slightly at the familiar voice. It's (R/n).

"We were waiting I front of the school for you to come, and yet you didn't. Were you scared?" She mocked, a few giggles audible in the background.

"Oh, dearest (Y/n)... When you get to school, you better be prepared. You Bitch." She threatened then hung up. Scared, I hesitated to go to school. But something in me told me otherwise.

I went to wash off the blood and applying concealer to cover up my cuts and bruises. After I was finished, I put on my uniform and headed to school.

Once I got to school, classes already started. I felt slight relieve that I won't have to face (R/n) and her friends until later. I went to my class and got a little scolding for being late before the lesson continues.

-Time Skip-

When class was done, I was absolutely terrified. I walked out the class cautiously while trying to find a safe spot to eat. I decided that the rooftop would be best and headed there.

I slowly walked up the stairs and reached the rooftop, somehow managing to avoid (R/n). I started digging into my lunch, my thoughts elsewhere.

'If she finds me here, then I can just jump off. No one would even notice I was gone anyways...'

"So someone's already here." I heard a voice coming from behind. I looked over my shoulder to reveal a male with spiky pink-reddish hair and soft grey eyes.

"Mind if I join you?" He asked softly, which I returned with a nod.

"My name's Nosaka Yuuma. You're (L/n) (Y/n), am I right?"

"I know, you're the captain of the soccer team. And yes, I'm (L/n) (Y/n)." I replied.

"What brings you up here, (L/n)-san? Very little goes here." He asked, trying to build conversation.

'I can't tell him about (R/n)...' "I... like to cloud gaze while eating. It's makes me feel calmer." I lied.

"Calmer? Is there anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or uneasy?"

"N-no. Just... I just like to. That's really it..."

"Are you sure?" Slight concern laced his voice. I looked down and replied with a small hum.

"If you need any help, you can ask me." He smiled sweetly. It was almost as if he's shining.

"You... don't have to do that..."

"It's fine. Besides, you seem to look quite upset. A frown doesn't suit someone as beautiful as you." Heat spread up my face at his words.

"(L/n)-san? Are you okay? Your face is a kinda red." He came closer and put his hand on my forehead. "But your temperature seems alright. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Y-yes! Thanks for caring, but I need to go now. Bye!" I quickly packed my stuff and left the rooftop, running down the stairs.

My face feels hot and my heart feels like it's about to jump out of my chest. There's also a funny feeling in my stomach. But at the same time, I felt a fuzzy and warm feeling in my chest. 'What is this?'

I kept running until I bumped into someone.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!!" A shrill voice spoke. (R/n)...

"Oh, it's you. How surprising. You avoided us the whole morning today. You better come behind the school after school ends or else..." She said the last part so that only I can hear her.

My whole body trembled and I could only stay in that spot as she and her friends sneered at my reaction.

I walked in my class and get ready for the next lesson. But during the whole class, I wasn't able to focus. Because of what Nosaka-san said and (R/n)'s threat.

-Time Skip to after school-

I feared of what would happen if I didn't meet (R/n). So I decided to pack my stuff and head towards the back of the school, making sure that no one was following me along the way.

"Wow, you actually came." (R/n) glared at me. She then snapped her fingers and I felt my arms being grabbed by her lackeys as they held me still. I wasn't able to escape.

"Tell me. Why were you talking with him?" She intimidated. I could only raise my brows slightly in confusion.

"Don't play dumb!" She kicked me in the stomach. Her lackeys letting go of me as I sunk down holding the pain in my stomach.

"You heard me, why were you talking to him?" She repeated. But I still didn't understood and stayed quiet.

"Are you deaf?! WhY WeRE YOu taLKIng WitH YuuMA-SamA?!" She shrieked and kicked me in the stomach again then put her feet over my head, holding me down.

"I-I... Was h-having lunch... And then he a-asked... if he could join me..." I choked out. My body trembling in fear and pain.

"LIES!" She kicked me repeatedly before pulling my hair and slamming me into the wall. "Why the hell would Yuuma-sama talk with a piece of shit like you?!"

"Please... S-stop..." I choked, feeling a warm liquid slid down my lips and chin.

"Are you actually trying to talk back to me?! Grr.... Girls! Let her have our Special treatment..." Her lackeys came then proceeded to kick and beat me up.

"This is what will happen if you ever get close with Yuuma-sama, again!!" 

I slowly felt my consciousness fading away along with more unbearable pain. Slowly, everything started going black.

"(Y/N)!!"

__________________________

I opened my eyes slowly. What happened? The last thing I remember was... (R/n) beating me up and someone calling out my name.

I was in someone's bedroom by the looks of it. I sit up to feel a pain all over my body. I also noticed that my hands, legs and stomach was covered by bandages. Even some on my face.

'My hands... -! That means someone saw the cuts!'I panicked.

"You're awake." A familiar male called out. "How are you?"

"Nosaka-san..."

"Does it still hurt?"

He's the one who saw them. "You... How- Did you-".

"I'm sure you have lots of questions. But please relax. I'll explain." He said calmly and ushered me to lie back down.

-Earlier-

Yuuma's POV

I walked around school after practice ends - hoping that I'll meet (L/n)-san along the way. I've seen her a couple of times around the back of the school when getting spare balls.

She have always piqued my interest. How her (h/l)  hair flows in the wind and her (e/c) eyes gleam from light. My heart would beat faster whenever I'm near her, too. Why is she making me feel this way?

"Why the hell would Yuuma-sama talk with a piece of shit like you?!" I heard someone shouted and ran over behind a wall to eavesdrop on the conversation before taking action.

"Please... S-stop..." I heard someone muttered. They sound hoarse and beaten up... That means these people are- !

"Are you actually trying to talk back to me?! Grr.... Girls! Let her have our Special treatment..."   I looked over and got a glimpse of  (L/n)-san on the ground holding her stomach before a group of girls started to kick and beat her up.

"This is what will happen if you ever get close with Yuuma-sama, again!!" Without a second thought I ran over to her.

"(Y/N)!!" I called out.

"Yuuma-sama!!" All the girls stopped kicking and looked over at me. "It's not what it looks like!!" Another girl called out - probably the leader.

I immediately ran over to (Y/n) and held her close. She was unconscious, her face was bruised and her body were filled with cuts and wounds. Seeing this made my blood boil.

I walked over to their leader. My anger clearly visible.

"Y-Yuuma-sama... " She trembled as I got closer.

"How dare you... How dare you hurt her!!" I shouted.

"I-I... I was trying to save you, Yuuma-sama!! Can't you see that she's trying to seduce you?! I'm only putting her in her plac-!" I slapped her hard in the face.

".... W-why..." She held her cheek which was now red.

"Because you've hurt someone dear to me. And that is something that I can't tolerate. Now get out.... " I said under my breath.

"Yuuma-sama, wha-"

"I SAID GET OUT!!" She and her friends ran fear present on their faces. I ran back to (Y/n) and cupped her now bruised face.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you..."

-Present-

(Y/n)'s POV

"So I brought you back to my place and bandaged you up." Nosaka-san finished. So that's what happened.

"Thank you for helping me, Nosaka-san." I bowed my head slightly.

"It's fine, but...." He muttered, facing the ground. "Why? Why didn't you tell me? I told you could tell me anything..."

"I... I didn't want you to get involved in this. You didn't do anything wrong. And besides, if everyone found out you helped me, they'll freak out." I muttered, tears welling up in my eyes as he wore a shocked face.

"Why do you think that... Did 'that' girl told you that?" He clenched his fist.

"No, (R/n) didn't do anything wrong... If anything, she was stating out facts. I am ugly, weak, useless, undesirable..." I started muttered all the hurtful words that they've said. Though he can hear it all.

"No one needs nor wants me here, it'll be better if I disappear. I'll probably be doing everyone a favor. And if they found out you helped someone as pathetic as me, you'll lose your respect from them... So you see, I'm not worth the trouble at all. I'm not worth it..." Silence consumed the room until Nosaka-san puts his hand on my cheek, wiping the tears that I didn't notice were streaming down my face.

"Don't cry..." He kept caressing my face. "Beautiful."

"N-Nosaka-san... What are you-?" He took my hand and kissed it.

"Strong." Looking at my cuts and placed a kiss on one of them.

"Desirable." More tears streamed down at his sweet gesture as he continues placing butterfly kisses.

"And lastly," He intertwined our hands and brought his face closer to mine.

"Worth it." And kissed me. It was a gentle and short kiss, but I can sense the passion and emotions he's trying to say.

"Please, don't ever think you're anything of what they say. I don't care if people think badly of me or if I lose my respect or get hurt and sullied because of this. I don't mind facing through them if it means you'll always stay safe and happy. You've someone dear to me that I can't lose no matter what. I love you, (Y/n). And I don't plan to change my feelings for you even if the whole world is against me." A smile was brought to my face as more tears run down my face. Not sad tears though - but happy ones.

"You are worth everything this world has to offer. And if I can, then I would've given you everything you've ever wanted. You're  everything to me. Please promise to never hurt or think badly about yourself ever again." He brought me to a soft embrace, and I did too.

"I promise I won't. And you're everything to me, too, Nosaka-"

"Please just call me 'Yuuma'." He held a soft smile on his face.

"You're everything to me, too, Yuuma. Thank you." And he continued to hold me close and I buried my face in the soft and warm embrace.

"I love you, Yuuma."

"Me, too."
