The boy with the broken smile. (MxM)

[BrokenSmiles]

Plot



​

It all began on a school afternoon. You were running away from bullies. It was a daily routine. They would hunt you down, beat you up, and leave you alone after that. It was just routine for a guy like you. One day, as you're making your escape from the school, you see that your bullies had begun picking on somebody else other than you. You muster up the courage to make them leave the kid alone. They don't do anything to you, since they're running on a tight schedule, and they leave you two alone. You introduce yourself to this kid, and he introduces himself as Broken Smiles. Almost immediately, you and Broken become friends. That relationship quickly becomes a very close one as well. Broken starts telling you about his abusive father, psychological issues, and his self harming issue. Through all this, you were always the one to be there for him. You helped him through it all, and you realize you're in love with this boy.


One rainy day, you get a visit from your beloved friend. It's not a friendly meeting, however. Broken informs you that he's contemplating suicide, and he needs you to be there for him. You realize it's your chance to tell him how you feel. Will you take that chance, or let the chance slide away from you?

​

Broken Smiles sat in his room, watching the rain outside his window. Almost in a trance, his dark brown eyes blinked slowly. His throat hurt from where he commenced a screaming match with his father. He winced a little, thinking about the marks on him that were going to bruise. The black haired boy hadn't done anything wrong. He let out a soft, shaky sigh, wiping his eyes to prevent another downfall of tears. I can't take this anymore, he thought to himself, forcing himself to get out of the windowsill. I'm going to his house, he told himself as he left his room. 'He' was his best friend. The only one he trusted. The only one he could turn to if he was ever hurting. The only one who knew about his messed up life. Broken peeked around the corner, making sure his father wasn't in the living room. The man was in the other room, he figured. The boy quickly left the house.


Broken pulled the hood over his head, preventing the rain from messing up his hair. He quickened his pace as he ran down the sidewalk. His house was only a few houses down from his friend's house. He quickly ran up to the door, ducking under the entrance. The teenager took a deep breath, then rang the doorbell to his house. He waited patiently at the door. God, please be home...

Austin looked towards the door then to the clock.


11:00


Who could it be at this hour, in the rain?


The boy sighed and got up from the couch and unlocked and opened the door to see a soaking wet Broken.


"What are you doing out here? Come in." He said opening the door all the way. He was used to the boy coming over, he was also used to being home alone with the boy. "Are you alright?" He asked closing the door behind him.

Broken pulled his hands out of his pockets, pulling his hood back. He swallowed back the lump in his throat, giving a shake of the head to respond to his friend's question. He glanced up at Austin. "My dad was on his usual rants again," he mumbled. Broken stared back down, struggling not to have a sudden meltdown in front of Austin.

"Broken...it's okay..." The silver eyed boy said softly. He didn't want to see his friend in pain, yet he didn't want to see him in tears either. "What's wrong?" He asked softly looking the other in the eye as he removed his soaking wet jacket.

Broken met Austin's gaze. He looks so concerned, he thought. He nervously bit the corner of his lip. Did he really want to tell Austin all about the thoughts he had earlier? As that thought crossed his mind, Broken suddenly felt tears rise to his eyes. He wiped his eyes with the back of the sleeve of his shirt. "Austin...I-I..." He suddenly felt like he couldn't hold it back anymore. The tears he had been holding back for so long rolled down his pale cheeks as he choked back a sob. Every time he made an attempt to speak, he couldn't get the words out. Look at yourself. You can't even keep calm long enough to talk!

 

[thatdamfangirl96]

Austin didn't say anything he just whipped the tears away and pulled him close whispering conforming words in his ear. Don't tell him now...latter maybe..





"It's alright ... He can't hour you here." Austin said softly hugging the other.

Broken sniffed, choking back a sob. Austin was right. He couldn't hurt him while he was at his house. But what about when he went home? He pressed his face against his friend's shoulder. "I'm...I'm going to be honest..." he forced himself to speak, his voice slightly muffled by Austin's shirt. "I-I...I just want to kill myself...I don't want to go back to that monster..." He shut his eyes as a few more tears slid down. "Why? Why do I have to suffer for just existing? Is my existence really just that annoying that I make everyone hate me?" He tightened his grip on the sleeve of Austin's shirt. "Maybe it would be for the best if I didn't keep on living..."

 

[thatdamfangirl96]

As he heard his friend words the boy swore that he felt his heart stop beating. He was speechless for the longest time.


There is no latter, only now..





"Broken...y-you can't, you can't kill yourself...it's not the way to deal with this problem..you-you can live here if you want, just please don't kill your self....don't leave me alone...please I don't want to lose you, not you n-not the one, the only one I love...don't leave me alone.."


Austin said and the longer he rambled the more and more he cried his voice cracking and his tears fell into the others dark hair.

 

[BrokenSmiles]

What?





Broken's eyes were wide open. Did Austin just say he loved him? He was so shocked that he didn't realize his friend had started crying. He winced, feeling bad that he had made him cry. Broken leaned his head back, meeting Austin's eyes. "I-I...I didn't mean to make you cry," he stuttered slightly, "If it makes you so upset...I'll try to hold on a little longer...I promise..."

"But I don't want you to suffer.." The boy said whipping his tears. "I-I can ask my parents if you could movie in with us. Anything you want.." The boy said softly looking down.


Please don't realize what I said..

Broken gave him an unsure look. It would be nice living with Austin. He wouldn't have to be alone with his father anymore, and he would be living with the only person he cared about. The teenager felt himself blush a little at the thought. The question that still bothered him: would his parents care about him living here? He nervously asked, "Um...would your parents mind me living here?"

Austin shook his head "No they think of you as family so that's why I thought...." The boys voice trailed off as he looked to the floor a slight blush on his cheeks as well. "If you don't want to I...um.." His voice trailed off again unsure of what to say next.

"I'd like to stay here," Broken admitted to Austin. He rubbed the back of his neck. "And...um..." He wanted desperately to tell his friend how he felt about him. Should I tell him now? I wondered curiously. He had dismissed what Austin had said, wondering if he had meant it in a different way. Broken gave a tiny shake of his head. "Er, nevermind. It's nothing important," he mumbled, then proceeded to bite the corner of his lip.

The boy wanted to push and ask what he'd ment to say but dismissed the thought. "Come on let's get you into some dry clothes." He said taking the other by the hand and leading him upstairs.

Broken felt relieved he didn't ask. He walked behind Austin until they reached his room. He glanced down at his longsleeve shirt, gently tugging at the ends of the sleeves. Part of the reason he wore longsleeves was to hide his scars from everyone. "Do you have any longsleeve shirts?" he asked Austin, turning his brown eyes up at his friend.

"Um let me check." Austin said softly and opened his closet door he looked thought his clothes but didn't find any long sleeve shirts. "No, I'm sorry." He apologized looking at the other with his silver covered eyes. "I could see if there any in the hamper and wash one if you like." He suggested

He made a small tsk noise. "If it's not too much trouble," Broken murmured, sitting on the edge of Austin's bed. He was careful to take his Converse off before crossing his legs on the bed. "When will your parents be back?"

 

[thatdamfangirl96]

"Latter tonight, I don't know what exact time but I kinda suspect 2:00am.." Austin said sitting on the floor and going though the hamper. Looking for another shirt for Broken to ware.

Broken nodded his head, brushing his fringe back as it fell into his eyes. "D-do you think I need to go back to my house at all?" he suddenly asked. "I don't have much there that I value...But the truth is I'm too scared to go back there... Dad was so angry when I last saw him..." His voice got softer and softer, and a flash of fear appeared in his eyes as he remembered the episode at his house.

"No." Austin answered quickly "You don't need to go back. I'll go out and get you what ever you need, your never going to see that monster again." Austin said standing he'd found a few shirts that could go in the wash. "Here I can wash that one too if you like." The boy offered looking at the others shirt.

 

[BrokenSmiles]

"No." Austin answered quickly "You don't need to go back. I'll go out and get you what ever you need, your never going to see that monster again." Austin said standing he'd found a few shirts that could go in the wash. "Here I can wash that one too if you like." The boy offered looking at the others shirt.

Hearing what Austin said, Broken calmed down. He glanced down at his own shirt. "This one could use a wash, too," he responded, then glanced back up at Austin. "Could I borrow a shirt while this one washes?" he asked, blinking his chocolate brown eyes. He could make do wearing a short-sleeved shirt for a little while. It's not like anyone but Austin would be around.

"Yeah of corse.." He said and handed the other a t-shirt, "Just meet me in the laundry room when your done changing." He said walking back downstairs.

Broken slipped his longsleeve off and reached for the shortsleece shirt. He paused , taking a glance at his arm. Will those scars ever go away? He sighed, pulling the shirt on. It was a little big on him, but he didn't mind it. He grabbed his other shirt and started downstairs. He headed into the laundry room to meet Austin. "Thank you," he told his friend quietly, handing him the t-shirt to wash.

"No problem." He said taking the long sleeve shirt from him. He didn't mind the scars on his friends arm, he knew there would be, but he didn't make a huge fuss over it. He put the shirts in the wash and walked into the living room sitting on the couch.

Broken followed Austin, sitting on the couch beside him. He crossed his arms, clenching his teeth at the feeling of the marks against his arm. He glanced over at his friend and asked, "Where am I going to sleep? If you don't have an open room, I don't mind sleeping on the couch."
