Shu
I woke up to Valt not being next to me. I sat up and looked around as I stretched. I saw the bathroom light was on and went to knock on the door.
"Valty? You okay?"
No answer. I knocked once more.
"Valt, are you good?"
Still nothing. I grabbed a coin off the kitchen table and was able to unlock the door from the outside. When I opened the door, I saw what I never wanted to see... Valt was either asleep or passed out as he was leaned up against the wall. He had his arm propped up on the toilet as blood dripped down it and into the toilet.
"Valt!! Valt Aoi!!"
I slid over to him in a panic. I noticed his blue pocket knife on the floor. I picked it up and set it on the bathroom counter to worry about it later. I got my phone out of my pocket and called an ambulance for my bleeding boyfriend. I was definitely gonna lecture him when all this has calmed down.

I was in the back of the ambulance with Valt and one of the medical guys. Valt was still unconscious as I held his hand and cried. I was wishing I had known that he was feeling like this. He didn't show any signs of depression that I saw, or I just wasn't paying close enough attention to him.

"Shu Kurenai."
A doctor called me from the waiting room.
"Yeah?"
"Your partner is fine, but he did cut pretty deep that he had to get a few stitches. Its a good thing you found him when you did."
"W-what? Wait, what would've happened if I had called 911 a few minutes later?"
I asked with tears welling up in my eyes again.
"Well... He would've lost way too much blood. But, he's okay and you can come see him."
So, if I had found him or even woke up just a few moments later, Valt could be...
"Here he is. The numbing medicine we gave him made him tired, so that's why he's asleep still. We do wanna see about getting him to see a counselor of some sort, or we may have no choice but to send him to a mental institution."
No way... If Valt ends up in a mental hospital, I won't be able to see him!
"I'll get him to see a therapist. Thank you, doctor."
I assured her as I walked over to a sleeping Valt. His arm was wrapped up in gauz. I pulled up a chair right next to his bed. I moved some strands of his hair out of his face, waking him up on accident. Kinda wanted him awake anyway.
"Mm.. Shu..?"
"Yeah, I'm here, Valty. I'm right here..."
I assured him repeatedly. He needed to know that I'm here for him anytime he needs me. I rubbed his bruise that Lui gave him with my thumb lightly.
"Sit up here with me?"
Valt asked me as he scooted over. I nodded and sat on the hospital bed with him. I wanted to start questioning him about what he did, but I was afraid we would get in a fight.
"Valt... Why did you cut yourself?"
Valt sighed.
"Eh, I knew you were about to ask... I just started feeling like that everything happening was my fault, and I needed to be punished for some reason. I don't quite remember what all I was feeling, but I'm so sorry, Shu..."
I could hear his voice crack on his last sentence as he started crying. I pulled him to me pretty sudden and began tearing up myself.
"Valt... The doctor said that if you don't start seeing a therapist or something, they're gonna put you in a mental hospital. If you end up there, I won't be able to get you out or see you whenever one of us wants. They won't let me."
"Shu, I promise I'll never do it again! I swear I won't! I don't wanna go to therapy and I don't want them to take me to a mental hospital."
Valt said as he continued crying into my chest. I buried my face in his hair as tears streamed down my face.
"Okay..."
_____________
We got back to my apartment and chilled out in my room and watched TV. Valt and I talked more about the situation on the way home, and he swore up and down that he would come to me from now on.
"Ugh, why is it so hot in here?"
Valt asked.
"Haha, take your shirt off if you're burning up."
"Good idea."
Mission accomplished, hehehe... I stared at my now shirtless boyfriend and was... Quite turned on. But, for real, it really was hot in my room. I ended up taking off my collared shirt and black tie. I leaned back against my head board and crossed my arms as I watched Valt try on my tie... Without his shirt...
"Shu, do I look like business man now?"
He asked with a cheeky smile. I smiled and just stared at him.
"You don't have any idea how bad I wanna pull you to me by that tie, Valty."
That... Wasn't meant to leave my thoughts. I sat up and grabbed him by my tie and pulled him into a kiss. I felt both of us melt into the kiss as I put my hand on the back of Valt's head, gripping his hair. He didn't spike his hair when we got home, and I honestly loved when he left it down. We pulled away and we looked into each other's eyes. I kissed his Lui inflicted bruise and cupped his face.
"My sweet Valt Aoi..."
I said to him softly.
"My amazing Shu Kurenai..."

The gang still had yet to know about Valt ending up in the hospital. But, it was also up to him if he wanted them to know or not. Valt was still asleep and after yesterday, he needed a lot of rest.

This hurt me to type tbh. So relatable ;-;... But enjoy that tie part I threw in lol. Might make the next chapter a little spicy ;)
