Chapter Text
They all needed to die.
But instead it's me. I’m going to die to hand of my only friend… because i was fool blinded by hate
That was the last coherent though junpei made as yuji sent a punch to his ribs sending him flying back. He slammed into the stair case, he lost his ability to think straight but he tried to remember what happened to him, and why he was here.
“Well, well what's going over here?” Mojito's voice echoed off the empty school halls, as he walked down the stairs, with a different goal than what he had for junpei before he told him to head to the school. The sound of his voice had Junpei to look up, but no matter what he did he couldn't move, and everything was blurry.
“What- HEY GET AWAY FROM HIM!” Yuji shouted at the curse. Trying his best to intimidate him
“Oh calm down i know him better than you do, Hell maybe better than he knows himself!” the curse replied all giddy like he was just picking up milk, not a passed out teen with a broken rib or 2. “ If I had it my way you would both be dead… but my boss had other plans for our silly little Junpei! So I'm here to collect him before things go south!”
Why Mahito saving me?
Junpei struggled to think and every word he did think of made his head hurt more and more. He just wanted to go home and see his mom… but she's dead now. Killed by a curse in her own home. And that is why he is here to take revenge for his mom against the one that killed her. Shota, the curliest person at the school, the one who gave him the burns above his eye. The reason why he had to hide his legs from everyone, the reason why he was an outcast. Junpei attacked him and yuji came in just in time to stop him.
“ Come on Junpei, it's time to meet the others! I did want you to meet them earlier but I just didn't have the time to, but trust me you’ll love them! “ Mahtio was saying as Junpei slumped over his back, barely understanding what was even going on.
After what could have been hours or only a few minutes they stopped. Junpei's head did feel a little better now but it was still hard to think. Not to mention his chest hurt like hell. But he could barely feel himself getting set down onto the floor? It was kinda fuzzy but it was a really small area.
“Aww poor thing. He has no friends and no home now.” Mathio said out loud meaning someone must be here, but where? Mathio keeped speaking to someone but it was hard to tell what he was saying, but one thing for sure mahito was slowly moving his fingers down jupei’s face and lingering on his burn scars. As time moved on it was hard and harder to keep his eyes open, Junpei soon let sleep consume him
0____________________________0
As Junpei woke up the first thing he felt was the pain in his head and chest he then felt was the heat of someone else's body wrapped around him. He tried to move his arm but the other body would not let up. He could also feel the other person head in the crook of his neck. Most likely it was mahito, how else would have him like this? Junpei looked around the area and it looked like a beach? And he was in a hamco like the one mahito had in the sewers. It was really high from the ground.
The more Junpei looked around the more worried he became. At first all he could see was a man on the beach, he had messy black hair that part of it was tied into a bun. Next this weird octopus thing in a shell was there hanging around in the sand. Junpei then soon saw what looked to be a grey goblin with a volcano on his head, and last of all a giant white monster with black makeup all over its body.
“ Jjuuunpie…go back to sleep… you are injured, you need sleep…”
“What- WHERE AM I?” Junpei yelled at the curse, wiggling around to get away from him. He was unsuccessful, Mahito arms wrapped tighter around him
“Calm down Junpei, geez” the curse move junpei to the other side of the hammock kinda holding him like a baby, he then started rocking him like he was a crying child
“Mahito-”
“Shush just go to sleep, i’ll explain what going on when your better, now go to sleep”
“No way! Let me go-”
“ Let me guess you want to go home right? Go home to see your mommy, the one that died only 2 days ago?”
Oh yea… he cant really go home anymore
Junpei could feel his eyes watering remembering what had happened the day before. He wanted to forget all that had happened but he couldn't the image of his moms body burn into his brain
“Shh, it's ok… you're ok” mahito whispered into his ear as Junpei began to cry no matter how hard he tried to hold back tears. Mahito when back to rocking him like he was a baby making Junpie cry even harder
“Come on just sleep, please Junpei” Mahito whisper to junpei “I need to work” as much as Junpei wanted to fight the curse he knew it would only lead to nothing so he just tried to sleep again, pretending that he was home, pretending that his mom was alive and well, pretending that a curse didn't kidnap him.
Sleep came slowly but it did come. As he waited for sleep he could still fell mahtio rocking him to sleep. Caring for him like a child that just woke up from a nightmare.
Once Junpie was asleep Mahito finally put him down in the hammock by himself and jumped down to go meet the other curses.
