Mitsuya had always known that the Shiba family had a rocky home life. Then again, his wasn’t exactly the greatest, considering he was raising his two younger sisters practically single handedly. But when he entered his family’s apartment, he never had to fear for his physical safety or the safety of his sisters. Not the way Hakkai had to fear for his and Yuzuha’s safety.
Even knowing some of the differences in his and Hakkai’s home life, he wasn’t fully aware of the violence Hakkai was subjected to until the first time he received an invitation to the Shiba family home. In reality, it wasn’t so much an invitation as it was a distress call. Mitsuya had just finished tucking his sisters into bed for the night when his phone began vibrating from his back pocket. He quickly stepped into the hallway and pulled out his phone to see his vice captain’s name blinking back at him.
He answered on the 2nd round of vibrations and put the phone up to his ear. “Hakkai? What’s up? I just put the girls to bed.”
The sound of ragged breathing was the only response.
Mitsuya frowned. “Hakkai? Are you okay?”
Another ragged breath, and then: “T-Taka-chan?”
Mitsuya felt as though someone had dunked his chest in a pool of ice water. Something was seriously wrong. He’d never heard his vice captain sound like that. “What’s wrong, Hakkai? What do you need?”
Hakkai whimpered over the line. “Taka-chan, please...I need..you.”
Mitsuya’s heart took up a game of ping pong against his rib cage. “Of course, Hakkai, anything. Where are you? I’m leaving right now.”
Hakkai let out a choked sob. “I’m. I’m at home.”
Mitsuya inhaled sharply. “Are you hurt?”
“Please, Taka-chan. Just...just get here. Please.”
“Okay, Hakkai, I’m coming. Be there in ten.” Mitsuya tucked the phone between his ear and shoulder so he could use both hands to yank his boots on, grab his jacket, and rush out the door. He took the stairs two at a time and rushed across the street to where his bike was parked. “I have to hang up the phone to drive, okay?”
“Okay,” Hakkai replied, his voice smaller than Mitsuya had ever heard it.
“I’ll see you soon,” MItsuya assured him, before ending the call and taking off in the direction of the Shiba family apartment.

Mitsuya was endlessly grateful that he remembered the way to the Shiba apartment, despite having never been inside it and only visiting the outside on a few rare occasions. The apartment was in the heart of Black Dragon territory, and Hakkai was always doing his best to keep his Tomen friends away from any potential turf wars.
Mitsuya bounded up the stairs to the door of Hakkai’s apartment. “Hakkai?” he called out. “It's me, can I come in?”
“Yeah,” came Hakkai’s muffled reply, sounding just as broken as he did on the phone.
Pushing open the door, Mitsuya saw that the apartment was bathed in the cool light of an overcast twilight approaching the black of night. Stepping across the threshold and glancing around, he noticed a boy-shaped form slumped against the far wall of the main room. Gasping a sharp inhale, Mitsuya rushed forward to kneel in front of Hakkai’s crumpled form. His head had been curled forward, but he tilted his chin to look up when Mitsuya dropped in front of him. Weak light from the nearby window revealed that Hakkai’s face was a landscape of purples and reds with the sharp accent of glistening blood across his upper and lower lips. “Hakkai…” Mitsuya breathed out and lifted a hand toward his vice captain’s swollen cheek.
Hakkai flinched back and then, seeming to realize how he reacted, began to sob loudly. “Taka-chan,” he gasped. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please Taka-chan, I need you, I’m sorry.”
Mitsuya’s heart hurt to see his strong, loyal, vice captain like this. “Shh, shh, Hakkai, you have nothing to be sorry for. Can you tell me what happened?”
“T-Taiju,” he choked out. “It was Taiju.” Mitsuya’s spine stiffened. “Normally I can handle him. It’s just how he is.” Hakkai sniffled. "But since Yuzuha is out of town on her school trip, it’s been...hard to handle. He told me that while she’s gone, anything he would normally do to her, he’d do to me instead. But I guess I didn’t realize how bad she had it.” Hakkai stared blankly at the wall, his face almost emotionless apart from the thick tears that ran down his cheeks.
Mitsuya felt dread spread through his body. “What did he do?” he asked softly.
Tears continued to drip down Hakkai’s jawline. “He said even though I was his brother and not his sister, that I would have to do until Yuzuha came back. And then he told me that he loves me.”
Mitsuya stared at him, slack-jawed, as the horrible truth began to dawn on him.
“It hurt, Taka-chan.” Hakkai whimpered. “I asked him to stop, but of course he didn’t. After, he left. He left, but I couldn’t get up. I still feel like I can barely move. He’s gone, but I still can’t fucking move.”
Heat pricked at the backs of Mitsuya’s eyes as he sat down against the wall beside Hakkai. Close, but not touching. “Can I touch you?”
Hakkai nodded numbly, and Mitsuya folded himself around the lanky body of his vice captain. He brought a hand up to stroke the soft texture of Hakkai’s head, leaning his head against the boy’s shoulder. “Listen to me, Hakkai.” Mitsuya’s words were soft but firm. “You didn’t deserve what he did to you. Do you understand what I’m saying? You didn’t deserve it.”
Hakkai squeezed his eyes shut, forcing more tears out onto his cheeks. “Yeah, I understand.”
Mitsuya took a deep breath. “Okay. I think we should get you to the hospital now.”
“No!” Hakkai cried, vigorously shaking his head back and forth. “No hospital! Please, Taka-chan, I can’t go to the hospital. Please don’t make me.”
“Hakkai,” Mitsuya began gently. “You at least need to get stitches on your lip.”
Hakkai had begun to sob in earnest again. “I can’t, I can’t go to the hospital. I don’t want anyone looking at me right now, please.”
Mitsuya was only human. He couldn’t deny Hakkai when he was so vulnerable and relied so heavily on Mitsuya to help him. “Okay, alright, no hospital. But I’m at least taking you home with me. My mom is out of town and the girls are asleep. Plus it's not safe for you to stay here alone.”
“Alright,” Hakkai sniffed.
Satisfied with that response, Mitsuya unwrapped himself from Hakkai’s shoulders and rose to his feet. He was relieved to find that Hakkai was able to stand with only minimal support from Mitsuya himself. Slowly, and with much more care than he had used when arriving at the apartment, he guided Hakkai back to the spot where he’d parked his bike. Eventually, they were both seated on the bike, Hakkai clinging to Mitsuya’s back as he drove them back to his apartment.
-
When they arrived at the apartment, Mitsuya and Hakkai made their way inside, being mindful of Mitsuya’s sleeping sisters. Mitsuya brought them into his bedroom where he shut the door and guided Hakkai to sit on the edge of the bed.
“What can I get you right now, Hakkai? Do you want some tea? Fresh clothes?” He spoke softly and rubbed soothing circles into his friend’s back with the palm of his hand.
“I don’t need you to get me anything, Taka-chan. I just need you to stay here with me.” Hakkai turned so that they were facing each other before leaning forward to gently rest his forehead against Mitsuya’s.
This close, the features of Hakkai’s face blurred so Mitsuya could almost pretend that it wasn’t a patchwork of bruises. His lips had stopped actively bleeding but were still smeared with blood. Mitsuya thought the gash would make a cool scar once it healed.
Hakkai seemed to have realized that Mitsuya was focused intently on his lips, because he leaned forward even more so that their lips were almost touching. “Hakkai,” Mitsuya said hesitantly. “As much as I want this, I’m not sure that now is the best time.”
“Taka-chan, please.” His vice captain sounded desperate. “You make me feel better just by being with me. I like you so much, Taka-chan. Please let me kiss you, just this once.”
“Alright, Hakkai,” Mitsuya soothed, and closed the remaining distance between his and Hakkai’s lips. Hakkai gave a little gasp of pleasure and grabbed hold of Mitsuya’s shoulders to press their bodies together.
“Shh, let me take care of you,” Mitsuya whispered against Hakkai’s lips, the motion smearing his own mouth with blood from Hakkai’s sliced lips.
Hakkai whimpered. “Please, Taka-chan. I’ve always wanted you.”
Mitsuya slowly guided Hakkai onto his back so that he was propped against the bed’s pillows. He pressed his lips more firmly against Hakkai’s and Hakkai gasped, opening his mouth in the process. Mitsuya took advantage of this to slowly lick his way inside his vice captain’s mouth. He tasted like diet coke and pennies. He took the time to nibble along the intact portion of Hakkai’s lips before traveling down his neck, peppering kisses across his clavicle.
“Taka-chan,” Hakkai sighed. “Need you, Taka-chan. Like you so much.”
Mitsuya brought a hand up to tweak Hakkai’s nipple over his shirt. “You have me, Hakkai. You’ll always have me. What do you need? Do you want me to ride you? Does that sound like something you’d like?”
He continued to swirl the pad of his thumb over Hakkai’s nipple as Hakkai moaned loudly, bucking his hips up involuntarily. “Fuck, Taka-chan. Yes, please ride me. I need you.”
Mitsuya stood up so he could rid himself of his pants and Hakkai whimpered at the lack of physical contact. Mitsuya chuckled and climbed back onto Hakkai’s lap to start helping him out of his clothes. “Tell me if you want me to stop or if I’m doing something you don’t like, okay?”
Hakkai nodded enthusiastically. “Yes, Taka-chan, of course.”
Satisfied, Mitsuya lowered his face down so that it was level with Hakkai’s cock. Mitsuya gave an experimental lick to the head, causing Hakkai to tug on Mitsuya’s short hair and his hips to jerk up unevenly. Mitsuya smirked up at him. “Think you’ll be able to handle being inside me?”
Hakkai tugged on his hair again and groaned. “Fuck, please let me touch you, Taka-chan.”
After a few more licks to the head of Hakkai’s cock, Mitsuya crawled back up into his lap so that his now-exposed crotch rested against Hakkai’s hard cock. Hakkai reached a hand between their bodies to press a few fingers between his folds. “Taka-chan,” he gasped. “You’re so wet already.”
Mitsuya hummed in acknowledgement before grinding into Hakkai’s palm and once again pressing a kiss to his blood-smeared lips. “I bet you can’t wait to get that pretty cock of yours inside me.”
“Please Taka-chan,” Hakkai whimpered. “Please let me.”
“Shh,” Mitsuya soothed. Then he reached between them to guide Hakkai’s cock to his entrance. He was wet enough that the tip slipped in with little resistance, and Mitsuya sighed as he slowly sunk down on Hakkai’s length. In front of him, Hakkai seemed to be having trouble conceptualizing the tight, wet heat that currently had a vice grip on his cock.
“Holy fuck , Taka-chan...you feel...so g-good . I’m not gonna last.” He then reached forward to grab Mitsuya’s hands and guide them to the slender column of his throat. Mitsuya was a fast learner, so he took the hint and applied gentle pressure to either side of Hakkai’s neck as he began to bounce up and down on his cock.
“You’re doing so well, Hakkai. So good for me baby. Love you so much.”
Mitsuya didn’t have the time or mental faculties to freak out about dropping the L word, because Hakkai was moaning louder than he had before and gasping, “harder!” while pressing his palms into Mitsuya’s hands where they gripped the tender skin of his neck. Mitsuya applied slightly more pressure to his vice-captain’s neck.
“Harder, please ,” Hakkai began to sob. “You love me, so do it harder .”
Mitsuya stilled his hips and removed his hands from Hakkai’s throat. Hakkai whimpered in frustration. “Hakkai, you remember what I told you earlier, baby? You didn’t deserve what he did to you.” He stroked the younger boy’s bruised cheeks with his thumbs. “Love shouldn’t be painful, Hakkai.”
“I know, Taka-chan,” Hakkai sobbed. “I’m s-sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize,” Mitsuya soothed. “I just love you, and I don’t want to hurt you. And I need you to know that love isn’t supposed to hurt. We can stop, if you want. Do you want to stop, baby?”
Hakkai wrapped his arms tightly around Mitsuya’s waist and pressed his face against his chest. “ No , please don’t leave, Taka-chan. I want to feel good with you. Please .”
“Okay,” he whispered, and gripped Hakkai’s shoulders as he began to lift his hips up and down in Hakkai’s lap. Angling his hips until Hakkai’s cock brushed against his sweet spot with every thrust, he reached down between their bodies to rub the pad of his index finger against his clit. He continued this pattern of bouncing up and down with nothing but the sound of Hakkai’s soft whimpers against his chest until he felt his orgasm approaching. “Hakkai, baby , come inside me. I know you can do it.”
Hakkai whimpered and thrust up harder into Mitsuya’s smaller body.
“Yes, just like that baby, doing so good for me Hakkai. Come for me baby.”
Hakkai moaned loudly and tensed up against him. Mitsuya felt Hakkai’s warmth spread within him and that was enough to push him over the edge, his walls clamping down on Hakkai’s spasming cock and his whole body shuddering in pleasure. He collapsed against Hakkai’s chest, the two of them gasping for air, Hakkai’s cum dripping slowly out of Mitsuya’s swollen entrance.
Hakkai hummed contentedly. “Love you so much, Taka-chan. Thank you for taking care of me.”
Mitsuya nuzzled his face against Hakkai’s neck, enjoying the gentle intimacy of their naked limbs tangled together. “I’ll always take care of you, Hakkai.”
