Generations: Part Two
Version A
Chapter Eight:
“That didn’t go well….” Tohma muttered as he sat on a chair in the hall outside Kessuke’s room—the teen had succeeded in getting him and Ryuu kicked out of the room; the nurses, having heard Kess’ yelling, had shooed them out of the room and scolded them for upsetting the teen.
“Tohma, what are we gonna do now?” Ryuu stood in front of the blond and looked down with watery eyes at the man as he spoke. “Now Kess doesn’t even want you near him….”
“It’s all right, Ryuu, Kess won’t stay mad forever….” Tohma smiled trying to reinsure his friend, before looking away and muttering: “At least we know that Aizawa did do something else to Kess…he wouldn’t have reacted like that if the man hadn’t….”
“Tohma…that….that doesn’t make anything better….now there’s more I feel guilty for—I should’ve realized….” Tears fell down Ryuu’s cheeks. “I should’ve realized Ta-chi was hurting Kess….I should’ve left him sooner….”
“Ryuu, it’s okay.” Tohma stood and wrapped his arms around the brown-haired man. “It’s not your fault….”
“Yes it is….I’m Kess’ father, I should’ve protected him…I should’ve took care of him more when he was younger too—instead of leaving him with you or Noriko.”
“Ryuu, it’s no use thinking about the past—you can’t change it.” Tohma sighed and held the man closer. “Besides it’s not your fault for any of that—if it’s anyone’s fault, it’s mine. I allowed you to get away with not being a responsible father because I wanted to protect you, and….and I knew that Aizawa was beating Kess for over a year—I should have gotten him away then. It’s my fault, not yours—I knew some of what was happening and I did nothing….”
“But…you only did nothing because you thought I liked Ta-chi….that makes it my fault.”
“Ryuu….”
“And I didn’t….” Ryuu stared into the widening eyes of the blond’s. “I didn’t like Ta-chi, not really….”
“Then Ryuu, why…? Did Aizawa threaten you to get together? Did he threaten….”
“No…I went out with him willingly at first….” Ryuu’s sobs fell silent as he thought. “He…he reminded me of Tatsuha—I….”
Before the N-G president could respond, his cell phone rang—
‘I thought I turned it off…wait, that’s Toya’s tone…’ Tohma pulled out the cell phone, not caring if cell phones were allowed or not—the last time he didn’t answer his son’s phone call turned out to be the worst time to ignore him.
“Hello, Toya. Is everything all right?” He smiled in his greeting until he heard the voice on the other end.
“Hello, Seguchi-san.”
He paled. “Koichi!”

Glowering out the window, Kessuke held his notebook in his hand trying to stifle the tremor growing within him—his father’s question running through his thoughts. Why did they have to ask him about that? Why? How did they find out?
‘Tohma must’ve figured out what I was about to say that one day in the nurse’s—I almost blurted it out….’ Shifting his gaze to the notebook in his hands, eyeing the open nearly blank page, he sighed and read what he’d written—he’d lied when he said he hadn’t written anything in his notebook.
One short poem marred the pristine paper, one brief incomplete poem inscribed on the nearly empty sheet—
My heart bled—when you took it,
Bled out its tears as it bloomed.
Why did you have to pick it?
Didn’t you know it was too soon?
Dear—it’s sweet to smell the flower
Sweeter to touch it still—
One touch—you can almost taste it
Can almost control its will.
Reading over his words, Kessuke felt his eyes water—felt forbidden thoughts push their way to the forefront of his mind.
“Taki….”
‘You’re the only one who knows—but you also don’t, not always. God…’
A/N: End chapter—can’t think of what else to write. What did you think of Kess’ poem? (It’s my poem, don’t steal, I wrote it within a minute or less). Please review.
