===>Hallways
Keiran closed the door behind him and looked at the room. He felt so lost and so alone. He walked over to the bed and took off the tie being careful not to lose the knot. He unbuttoned his shirt and took his pants off. Maybe if he just slept it would all go away. It WAS night time. He could see the stars outside his window. He stood in his boxers and the unbuttoned school shirt.
He looked down at his chest and it looked so perfectly unmarred. He slipped the shirt from his body and his shoulders were bruised all around as well as his wrist where Kazz had gripped. Kazz didn't know, but the last customer Angel was with got carried away...there were a few bruises on his arms and some on his legs. Michale hadn't even looked at them twice. He told Angel to take it and be the man he wasn't....
Keiran sighed pushing his thoughts of Angel away and slid under the quilt on his bed. He hadn't slept on an actual bed in a while. Sure customers used hotel rooms and stuff, but he never slept there. He has his cot at him, the one in the closet. This was heaven compared to it.

--------> boy's hall
Kazz stood frozen in front of Keiran's door for a moment, his fist hovering just above the polished wooden surface. The image of the look on the boy's face as he ran out of Kazz's room played and replayed before his eyes. He pressed his forhead against the hard barrier that seperated him from the smaller boy he had befriended. Did he dare to disturb him. From the way he had looked when the chemistry teacher had sent him away, he might be the last person on the planet that Keiran wanted to see. Oh well, if nothing else he had to apologize for his offense. He knocked softly at Keiran's door.
"Ang....Keiran? Are you all right in there, Keiran-kun?" Kazz chewed his lower lip as he awaited a response with bated breath.

Keiran groaned softly in his sleep as he dreamt. He couldn't help what he dreamt about, he never remembered either. He just knew that it wasn't good dreams. Shoulders and arms aching were bringing more upset images into his dreams that night, but they had the past few nights. He turned over in the bed, onto his stomach and his left arm hung over the side of the mattress. The blanket was up over his shoulder, Keiran had put it up that high to hide the bruises from himself in particular.

Kazz should have left, he really should have. But he didn't. Instead he tried the handle. Much to his surprise, the door clicked open without so much as a creak in protest.
Oi, Kazuma, what are you doing! He scolded himself as he pushed the door opene, violet eyes darting up and down the hallway. He knew he was breaking the rules, entering someone's room without their explicit consent. But he just had to know the boy was all right. He'd never get another thing done, otherwise, not even sleep.
The room was dim with the soft glow of some light source....a nightlight, maybe? Such a possiblity melted Kazz's heart further, if such a feat was even possible.
The soft sound of breathig reached his ears while he waited for his eyes to adjust. He found Keiran sleeping in his bed. So much for apologizing, it would have to wait until morning most likely. He stepped forward, making to tuck the disheveled blanket beneath the smaller boy's chin. His arm hung limply over the edge of the matress, and Kazz reached down to place it beside him on the bed. But something caught his eye...
There was ugly discoloring around the boy's wrist, and Kazz gasped. Had he done that? no, of course not, he hadn't grabbed Keiran anywhere near that hard! Besides that, the wounds looked at least a day or two old. He came to Matrimony with them. Though he knew himself not to be the cause, a wave of guilt washed through Kazz.
As he felt a distinct stinging at the back of his eyes, he raised the tiny hand , pressing hs lips softly to the purple marks that lined the boy's thin wrist.

Keirian shifted softly beneath the blanket when Kazz entered the room. The boy subconciously knew someone was there, but he had always been a heavy sleeper.
A small frown knitted between his browns momentarily then smoothed out as the dream passed into other parts. His eyelids fluttered which gave off the physical impression he was dreaming.
Even when his arm was picked up, a small groan came from his mouth, he almost woke up, but didn't. His head turned to the side towards Kazz and his blonde bangs fell over his eyes as his lips were slightly parted with his deep and even breathing.

Kazz had did just as he intended. He placed Keiran's arm beside him on the pillow. Now, he should leave. He should get up and leave, and talk to Keiran in the morning. But he could not fight his own curiosity.
Moving almost painfully carefully, he peeled back the blanket to peek at the boy underneath. He didn't do it to be lewd or perverted. But the bruises on Keiran's wrist's troubled him more than he could adequately express.
What he saw made his blood freeze twice over within his veins. If the bruising around hs wrist was ugly, the bruising that littered his shoulder was positively grotesque. Who could do such a horrible thing to someone as innocent and vulnerable as Keiran? It made Kazuma sick to his stomach.
"Kei-chan!" he exclaimed loudly, forgetting he was supposed to be secretive.

Keiran was pulled from his dream as he heard some sort of exclamation. What would be loud enough to wake him? He frowned again then felt the cold draft of air. His eyes say body first then up and saw Kazz's expression. He wondered what he was looking at until he remembered him being cold and he looked down at his now exposed body.
His eyes widened has he realized that Kazz must of saw the bruises and his hands snatched the blanket quickly pulling it towards him as he sat up to face Kazz. The blanket pulled to his chest, which still didn't cover much but it helped him feel left exposed, he didn't know what to say, so he said the first thing that came to mind
"W-what are you doing in here?!" he cried out trying to turn the subject towards Kazz instead of himself

Way to go, Kazuma. You and your big fat mouth, he thought with a mental eyeroll. His hand hovered empty in midair as Keiran snatched the blnket back. Jerking his fingers closed he lowered the hand to his lap as he floundered for an explanation.
"I....I mean...err.." He jumped off the bed before bowing deeply again and again. "Gomenasai, gomenasai, gomenasa! Shimimusen, Kei-chan!"
The older boy dropped to his knees beside Keiran's bed and desperately snatched up one of the boy's hands, kissing it and pressing it to his cheek.
"Whatever I said that upset you, I didn't mean it, and I will never say it again. And I amd sorry to have grabbed you in the hallway, and if I embarrsed you in front of the teacher!"
Everything was coming out a a feverish torrent, and Kazz couldn't stp himself even once he realized what he was doing. The tears that had stung his eyes upon viewing Keiran's bruises finally overflowed, spilling uncontrollably down his cheeks, and still he spoke.
"I'm sorry some sicko put his hands on you and hurt you. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from....everything. If only I had met you sooner, outside of here. Maybe neither of us would not be here now!
"I'm sorry I can't erase all the hurts that your friend allowed you to endure. I wish I could...but here is what I can do... No one is ever going to hurt you again, if Ihave anything to say about it. Keiran...I promise."

Keiran didn't know what to say when the boy suddenly started bowing like he was one of those drinking birds.
Kazz took his hand and when he tried toi pull it back he stopped as he started kissing it and pressing his face against it. He was apologizing so fast! It was making him feel even more guilty for running in the first place. He could see the tears in his eyes and it was like both their tears spilled over at the same time.
Kazz started apologizing for things he didn't even do which made Keiran's tears fall even faster. Why was he apologizing? Why? He hadn't done anything, he hadn't been th one who put him in the hospital...
"...Kazu.." the name came out of his mouth as the tears still continued to run down his own cheeks and his fingers dropped the blanket reaching out and cupping the other boys face in his hands. His thumbs pushed away the tears and he suddenly threw himself at him wrapping his arms around him tightly, his small hands gripping the fabric of his shirt and his face buried against his shoulder

"Kei-chan..."Kazuma's hands circled tightly around the younger boy, and he peppered the top of his head with desperate kisses.
"I'm so sorry...please forgive me...." He suddenly sat down completely on the floor, pulling Keiran completely from the bed and onto his lap. He buried his face in the soft blonde hair. He slid a hand up the boy's back, covered the bruises on Keiran's shoulder. He wished his touch could erase the marks.

Keiran let himself be pulled off the bed and he kept his deathgrip along with his face buried in his neck, his tears staining Kazz's shirt. He could feel him cover his bruises and he took a shuddering breath
"I-It...you didn't know...you don't know...its just...I was.....michale always...i was good for his ego..." he mumbled into the warm skin of Kazz's neck "I'm sorry kazu-chan"
he didn't want to pull away from his neck, it felt warm and safe, and he didn't want to leave it.

Good for his ego? Kazz felt sick as he rembered saying just those woeds to Keiran. So...that had been the trigger. He felt awful. From this moment on the phrase was purged from his vocabulary. Never again would those words be linked together and spill from his lips. His continued to hold the boy, tenderly stroking his shoulder.
"I'll take care of you, Keiran."

Keiran winced a bit as he felt KAzz stroking his shoulder, it wasn't that it hurt, it slightly did, but it was the fact he was more focused on his pain...he didn't want him focused on his bruises...he felt ugly with them and he was paying more attention to them than he was him...but at the moment it just felt good to have someone to hold him...even if tomorrow he would probably deny everything he said
"G..Gomen Kazu-chan" he mumbled his small form curling up against Kazz's chest feeling tired. He was apologizing for everything, breaking down and running, freaking out when he saw him in his room, actuing like he had been, for it all.

Kazz released one arm so that he could tilt Keiran's head up to face him. He pressed a kiss on the tip of the boy's nose and smiled gently, his violet eyes penetrating.
"You have absolutely nothing to apologize for, Kei-chan. But I do have one question for you." He brushed the back of his hand along the boy's cheek. "When we first met, you introduced yourself as Angel...is that a name that Michale gave you? For if it is, much as it fits you, I'm never gonna call you that again."

Keiran blinked when his nose was kissed and he stared up at the others eyes. They were so deep and vibrant...
He closed his eyes slightly and leaned into the hand running against his cheek but opened them at Michael's name
"well..."
he lowered his eyes momentarily then looked at Kazz's chest when he spoke
"When i first started out....on the streets....they said i was a boy as beautiful as an angel...so he kinda started using it as my name...and then everyone started using it..."
