The doorway

Juuya mades his way quickly to the shop grabbing everything he neededm not hesitating or taking his time like he would normally do, paying quickly and shaking his head when the girl tried to give him the short change he left grabbing the bags, and running litrally back to the apartment and towards the stairs, smiling again at the girl he said a quick hello and headed for the stairs, not wanting to leave the younger boy alone to long incase he became frightened.

Anabel sighed and continued to pretend to read. There was nothing to do, but she might get upset again if she allows herself to be alone, and people pass through the lobby, so it's easier to keep her head on straight and not get quite as upset. She'd be bored where ever she goes, so she didn't see any real reason to go back up.

Yuki was really starting to panic now, though by all rights, he shouldn't be. It was strange, he was too shy to actually talk to anyone, but at the same time. he hated being alone. Okay, he wasn't technically alone, Kuro was here, but the tiny black furr ball was sound asleep, and Yuki didn't have the heart to wake it...even if it would make him feel a little more comfortable with being in Juuya's apartment...

Juuya sprinted up the stairs and down the hall opening his apartment door calling out "Sorry was a que..are you ok hows the cat..hasn't wee'd has it?" Juuya wandered inside and noticed that the cat was still sound asleep chuckling he nodded "well i shall take that as a no...you haven't wee'd have you?" Juuya said jokingly hoping the boy would laugh and not be offended, quickly regretting it "ahh no sorry...haa damn it I have terrible humour..." rubbing his hands through his hair sheepishly Juuya dissappeared off into the little kitchen.

Juuya's sudden entry startled Yuki quite a bit, even though he'd been expecting the older boy to come back soon.
"I-I'm...o-okay...I'm n-not a little kid...", he whined, rather offended at the comment, crossing his arms and pouting slightly.
He was distracted by Kuro stirring a bit, giving a small, sleepy mew as he opened his eyes, then realising that Juuya was home, instantly perked up and scampered off to find him. Or rather, to find out if Juuya had any foood for him...
Yuki however, pulled his knees up to his chest and rested his chin on them, hair covering most of his face.

Anabel got up to back up to her room. There was nothing left to do here. She could practice her dance and watch Doctor Who on Netflix or something once she gets up. She couldn't do that in the lobby. She gets to her apartment and goes in. Her Mom's in the kitchen, cooking something. "Hey baby," she says.
"Hi Mom," Anabel says, going to the kitchen as well, to get some water.
"Do you want some?" her Mom asks, as she gestures to the pot of spaghetti on the stove.
"Oh, no thanks. I got some McDonald's earlier," she lied.
Her Mom didn't look like she believed it, but didn't say anything either.

Juuya hummed from the kitchen laughing to Kuro scampering in after him, humming a little more he nodded picked up a dish and filled it with cat food, finally sitting it down on the floor by the door so he doesn't stand on the kitten as he moved around the kitchen putting all the groceries away and in they're places, smiling he called through "Yuki are you staying for dinner or heading home soon?"

Yuki tensed a bit at that question, and had mixed feelings about how he should answer. On one hand, he didn't want to impose on Juuya any more than he already had, and would be better off going home. On the other hand...his mom would be home, and he was out after curfew...he'd get into loads of trouble if he went home now. Then again, he'd get into more trouble if he was any later than he already was. It was probably best to get his punishment over with...
"I-I'd b-better go...t-thank you for l-letting m-me stay here...", he stuttered, standing up and heading for the door.

Anabel finished getting her water and went up to her room. She flops down on her bed for awhile and plays a game on her phone before getting up to practice her dance stuff. She had to be the best in the class, and the only way to do that was to practice. And the more she practices, the more calories she'll burn and the more weight she'll loose.

Juuya nodded watching the younger boy standing up and heading to the door following him he smiled and leant around and opened the door for him chuckles making sure he doesn't spook the boy glancing around he looked at kuro making a qwuick interest then getting bored and going back to his food rolling eyes he looks back to the boy pulling his shoes and jacket back on. "Safe trip ok"

Yuki nodded slowly and tucked his laces into his shoes, not feeling like tying them just now. He'd be taking them off again when he got home anyway.
"Y-Yeah...I'll be o-okay...", he whispered as he left, heading for the stairs. He realised just then that his apartment was directly above Juuya's, and he prayed that his punishment wouldn't make too much noise, and make the older boy think that something was wrong...

Once he was on his floor, he caught sight of his mom in front of the door...waiting for him...because he was late...Oh, crap...

"And where have you been?", the woman asked, folding her arms across her chest. Yuki immediatly looked to the ground, knowing it would be a mistake to make eye contact. It usually was.

"I-I...w-was...with a...f-friend...",he stuttered, starting to tremble, knowing what was coming.

"Who said you had any friends, you little freak?", his mom snapped at him, stepping forward to grab his arm and drag him into the flat. Yuki didn't try to resist. This had happened too many times...

A few minutes later, a series of loud thumps and bangs would probably be heard from the ceiling of Juuya's apartment, sounding almost like someone was moving furniture around. In a very violent way...

Juuya looked up blinking frowning a little stomped his foot hard "Shut up the racket other people live here!" Sighing he went to carry on with watching his tv when he heard the noises again, groaning he stood up grabed his keys and a warning notice, making his way down stairs he knocked on the door hard getting frustrated that he had forgotten to put his shirt on before leaving the apartment, he looked around and noticed the name blinking he slamed his fist agains the door again "Excuse me...its upstairs...can I have a word please?"

The bangs and thumps stopped for a few moments, and a dark haired male opened the door to Juuya, a bored and arrogant expression in his dark eyes. From the shape of the male's features, it would be fairly easy to tell that this man was Yuki's brother. His older brother, who was normal in looks, with dark hair, chocolate brown eyes and lightly tanned skin. The way Yuki would have been, had the mutation not happened and made him albino. Made him a freak.

"What the hell you want?", the male asked Juuya, ignoring the small flash of white hair behind him in the hallway which was his brother, peeking out from the doorway, a look of pure terror across his pale features. Then the boy was gone, having been pulled back into the room. Though no noise was heard aside from a tiny sniffle, Yuki was crying. Not because he'd been hurt, but because Juuya was here. He hadn't wanted anyone to find out about this. Especially not his new, and only friend.

Juuya raised his eyebrow to the older male, holding the jumper up that Yuki had left behind "I'm returning this..also could you stop banging around I'm right above you and its late..also can i talk with Yuki please about his homework?' Juuya couldnt help but lie by making it sound like the younger boy had gone to him as a private tutor, hoping what he knew in the back of his mind to be what was really happening in this apartment, they weren't moving furniture..techniquly they were moving Yuki and he didn't like it.

Yuki's brother risked a quick glance behind him, a look of concern crossing his face.
"Umm...he's not feeling well just now...I'll tell him you came over, and give him his hoodie back. Thanks for bringing it back, dude.", he spoke quickly, as if to get Juuya away as quick as possible.
"Also...sorry about the noise. We were...ummm...just moving things about. We'll try keep it down, kay?", the male continued, bowing slightly in apology.
Before he could close the door though, Yuki appeared behind his brother, pulling his hair over the side of his face, hiding a large, angry looking red mark, which would quickly turn into a bruise.
"...H-Hello...J-Juuya-san...", the tiny albino muttered, his silvery eyes to the floor, to conceal the fact that they were red from crying.
