Chapter Seven � Reluctant Compassion
Ryuhou�s single working crimson orb stared unblinking up at the dark ceiling. He had returned to the Lost Ground just the other day. There was an ambush; he barely made it back alive. A sizable amount of the city was destroyed. The almond-shaped eye glanced sideways to find a glowing amber orb staring at him.
Kazuma hadn�t left his side since they had brought him in.
Ryuhou wanted to embrace him tightly, but the rational part of his brain reminded him he could barely move.
Kazuma quietly removed his fingerless glove and slipped his hand under Ryuhou�s, interlocking their fingers. The older Alter User closed his eye and took a deep breath. He took his time releasing it and felt slightly relaxed. Kazuma placed his head down on Ryuhou�s arm, a weary grin on his face.
`-`-`-`-`-`
Ryuhou refused the crutches offered to him by the young medics the next morning. He walked without a limp even though his left leg screamed for the body weight to be lifted. His uniform had been repaired and cleaned so he was going to wear it back home.
Tachibana smiled warmly at the couple then remembered something; he ran back inside then returned with Kazuma�s jacket. Cammie bit down on her lip then stretched, using her arm to hide her wicked smile. Kazuma took his jacket back and slowly pulled it on, keeping the hazel-eyed gaze.
Ryuhou�s eye narrowed as he subtly observed the two men�s behavior. His head was much clearer now than it had been upon arrival and his period of rest. It would be no use talking to Kazuma about what happened while he was gone�or even why he hadn�t stayed in their house�and Tachibana would probably avoid such confrontation at all costs. He cleared his throat.
Cammie dropped her arms and she and Tachibana returned Ryuhou�s slight bow. The Lost Ground�s savior Alter users, so to speak, turned and walked away. Tachibana thought something seemed off about them now but shook the feeling and reached across Cammie to close the door.
�Wait.� The young woman�s hands landed on his arm and they both stared at the car that pulled up. The door opened and Mimori made her presence known. Tachibana knew better than to assume what he already had but� �Did she follow him back to the Lost Ground or what?� Cammie asked through her teeth, feigned smile directed at the brunette.
�Hush,� Tachibana rebuked. As the car drove away�Mimori just wanted to inform them of her return and to thank them for looking after Kanami�the door closed and Tachibana fell against it with a deep sigh. �It�s time to get your room cleaned up,� he told the girl beside him. �Then some breakfast��
�Kazuma-kun has your letter,� Cammie giggled, stepping lively ahead of him.
The Alter user froze, hazel eyes growing wide. He reached out a hand to his ex-girlfriend, fingers trembling. Portions of the hallway walls were lost and three emerald spheres circled his wrist. �Cammie��
�Hai?� She spun and her green eyes widened at the ball settling in the middle of her forehead.
�Cammie, Cammie, Cammie,� Tachibana laughed, draping his arms over her shoulders. He shook his head, smiling. He could hear her apologizing profusely in his head even though her material body gave no change.

Ryuhou was in a mood and the other knew this. Kazuma removed his jacket, tossed it aside, and groaned loudly as he stretched. He dropped onto the more familiar bed with a grunt then glanced at his silent lover. The older man seemed more tense and distant and the brunet wondered if Ryuhou suspected something happened while he was away.
Ryuhou undid the top to his HOLY uniform and placed it over the same chair Kazuma�s jacket had been tossed onto. He shook out his hair and disappeared into the bathroom.
Kazuma rolled over, burying his face in his pillow. He continued rolling over until he was sitting up once again, but with the pillow hugged tightly in his arms. He had to admit that had been the most interesting several days of his life, by far. Tachibana was the glue that held them together�the entire Lost Ground, Kazuma believed�and, therefore, would remain off-limits.
His eyebrow rose slightly, left eye opening, and he stared as his partner in crime and in life walked out of the bathroom. The bright orb widened and the young man sprang to his feet, standing on the bed. �Ryuhou, what the fuck�?�
The single crimson eye coldly regarded him and the green-haired male shook his head, allowing loose strands of his hair to fall toward the floor�he�d cut it. Ryuhou sighed and made his way to the bed, still glaring at the auburn-haired man that trespassed on his side of the bed.
"Ryuhou..." Kazuma whimpered, dropping into the other's lap once the older man had sat down with his legs stretched out before him. He fingered the short locks and clenched his hand into a fist only to grasp nothing but air. �It was so fun to have it� so fun in bed...�
�It was a hindrance. Get off of me.�
The Shell Bullet complied with no further arguments, noticing that his lover was being more withdrawn and cold than normal. He sighed and crossed his arms again. There was nothing he could do but wait out whatever spell Ryuhou was going through.
`-`-`-`-`-`
It had been her voice on tape, verbally agreeing to take on Tachibana�s check-up route for a week, but she had no recollection of doing so. It was her punishment, because she also had to manage her own routes still. The letter that was causing poor Asuka to fret, and turned his vibrant purple hair gray before its time, had just been found.
Kazuma, now feeling to chill of Ryuhou�s cold shoulder, snatched up his jacket from its spot in the chair. He would go out to Urizane to a bar to drown his anger. The fallen envelope caught his eye and he snatched it up after noticing the blood that was dappled over it. He fell onto the edge of the bed, ripped it open, and pulled out the letter inside. The amber eye skimmed over the words, barely taking them in. Kazuma contemplated crushing up the letter but he just tossed both it and the envelope onto the bed. Booze was waiting.
While the Shell Bullet enjoyed himself, Ryuhou was having a check-up. Opening both eyes when instructed, things came blurry to his left and clear to his right.
Tachibana raised three fingers in front of the man. �How many?�
Ryuhou raised his glare to the younger man�s face. �I can�t see clearly,� he stated in a dull voice.
Tachibana sighed and placed another medicated gauze patch over the harmed crimson orb. �It�s not serious,� he said, hoping to came off as reassuring. �But it�s taking a while to heal. I didn�t want to use Eternity Eight yesterday because of how badly wounded you were, but��
Ryuhou snatched the other�s hand out of the air and pulled him close. One eye was good enough to glare with.
�Ryuhou!�
�What happened between you and Kazuma?� Ryuhou growled, the frightened Alter user�s face inches from his own.
�Nothing,� Tachibana stammered, trying to free himself. In many ways, Ryuhou would always remain his senior. �He helped me with my rounds and I helped him after his battles. Ryuhou� you�re hurting me.�
Ryuhou released him with a sigh and picked up his white eye patch, redoing it over his left eye. �I�ll see you in three days.�
�No. You never know when the next attack is going to be.� Tachibana closed his eyes, concentrating, and opened them to find an emerald sphere floating before him. �You should be out there to help Kazuma.� Even though his life had just been threatened, he was helping the man who had done the threatening.
Ryuhou reluctantly took a seat and closed his eye, grimacing faintly as a part of Eternity Eight embedded itself into his forehead. No sooner had Tachibana begun hastening the cure from within the alarms began sounding. He felt Ryuhou resist him and struggled to remain in control. �Gomen. You can�t leave.�
��
Ryuhou didn�t return home after Tachibana was finished with him; the gauze and patch would remain on for three more days, but other than that, he was fine. He didn�t go to Kanami�s either. Instead, Urizane�s and Elian�s place became his temporary sanctuary; or rather, the booze the watermelon Alter user had in his house.
Elian made no attempt to hide his surprise as Ryuhou showed up on his doorstep. Urizane had gone down to the bar hours earlier, before the attack, with none other than Kazuma. �Ryuhou-san, come in?� The slight brunet closed the door once they were both on the inside. �Did you have something you wanted to discuss?�
Ryuhou didn�t want to go back home with such overbearing feels of hostility and jealousy. If he had gone out to battle, he�d have been able to work off his aggression.
Elian stood silently behind the other Alter user, patiently waiting for any kind of reaction.
Ryuhou sighed, �Tell Urizane I�m stealing a watermelon.�
The ebony-haired young man smiled brightly and nodded. He could be an accomplice to that. �I�ll personally show you where they are. I always tell him he has too many. He doesn�t use them for his Alter anymore, but he doesn�t like to listen.�
The door banged open. �Who doesn�t listen?!�
Elian sighed deeply, rubbing the back of his neck. Ryuhou smirked and glanced over his shoulder.
�Ah! A blast from the past! Ryuhou!�
�I�ve always been here, haven�t I?� Ryuhou ran a hand through his recently shortened hair.
�You look like the Ryuhou from years ago. That no-good HOLY bastard.�
�I�m still a bastard, just not in HOLY.�
Urizane laughed and clapped his old friend on the shoulder. Ryuhou gasped and straightened himself up from the heavy-handed touch. This was the lift he needed from his emotions.
Kazuma crashed at Tachibana�s for the night, too tired to make it home. Tachibana spent a few more seconds staring at the brunet�s clothed frame. �Kazuma�� He sighed softly and turned away from the den, heading back to his room.
��
Kanami sighed and opened her eyes. Sleep would be hard to come by until the two boys in her life made up. She rolled over, burying her face in the pillow, and tried to find rest even if her eyes had to remain open. Beside her, Mimori moaned softly. The young girl smiled and focused her Alter abilities on the brunette, using the pleasant thoughts and feelings to slowly succumb to slumber.
