PROTIP: Taku is short for Takuma Akihiko. He is a frail young boy with shaggy brown hair and emerald green eyes. Even though he is Japanese, he is also part German resulting in his unusual eye color. His weird appearance was one of the first reasons why he became a target for bullying.

(A/N: Keeping all the text italicized is too much work so I'm just going to write in normal font, please know that everything takes place in the past and is a flashback.)

"Sit down." Akira ordered as the brunette boy just nervously sat down on the lid of the toilet.

Takuma watched as Akira paced aggressively between the multitude of drawers within the bathroom before approaching Takuma with gauze, some medical tape, hydrogen peroxide, a pair of scissors and some other miscellaneous items.

"Arm." He demanded simply holding out his hand as Takuma gingerly placed his arm within it and gently rose his sleeves to reveal the cuts.

Akira was silent as he treated the wounds, although it was apparent he was very upset.

"A-Aki-chan..." Takuma's voice squeaked out, terrified of angering the already upset black-haired boy.

Akira gave him a hum in response as he treated the cuts, just letting him know that he was listening.

"A-are you..." Takuma hesitated, he really wanted to ask the question but in all honesty, he was terrified of the answer. 

"A-are you..." He started once again, "Mad at me?"

Akira looked up with an unreadable face before letting out a long sigh.

"You idiot." He facepalmed before wrapping the brunette boy in a hug.

"You scared the living shit out of me! Of course, I'm upset!" He said confusing the brunette boy as he clenched him tighter.

"But I could never be mad at you." He finished before pulling away from the hug making the brunette even more confused.

"But you just said you're upset with me..." He pointed out rubbing his now bandaged hand and arm nervously.

Akira sighed once more, "I'm not upset...per se. You just worried me, that's all." Akira said before flicking him in the forehead.

"Oww! That really hurt Aki-chan!" Takuma pouted holding his forehead with a wince.

"You'll never do something like this again, ok?" Akira said seriously crossing his arms with a pout.

Takuma hummed in response.

"I want to hear it!" Akira demanded not budging from his spot until he got an answer.

"Fine! I'll never hurt myself again!" Takuma sighed holding up his hands in defeat.

"Promise?" Akira pouted holding out his pinkie.

"I promise." Takuma sighed wrapping his pinkie within Akira's.

Akira smiled a bit, "Good! Then let's get out of this grimy bathroom, I want food!" He groaned rubbing his stomach as Takuma just chuckled a bit.

"Me too, what did you bring?" He questioned feeling much lighter after making that promise with Akira.

"Oh you know, just spicy teriyaki chicken ramen..." Akira said nonchantly as Takuma's eyes lit up in surprise.

"Spicy ramen!?" He exclaimed excitedly hurrying over to the kitchen.

"Of course! And I got this too!" Akira smiled before holding up a small keychain with a blue cat on it.
