Nova x Yoru pt 1

The cherry blossom festival commenced and people flocked the streets to lay on the sakura fields, watching cherry blossoms fall. Kyoto was so graceful this time of year, even Yoru, a wealthy business man, took time out of his day to go. Sitting calmly he watched the flowers fall gently; the beauty all around and the sound of the roaring festival.

A boy around the age of seventeen carelessly ran around, passing Yoru countless amounts of times under the tree, his white hair waving in the breeze. Wearing a deep blue and white Kimono; on the back two silver outlined hawks decorated the back elegantly. Every time the boy passed it would catch Yoru's eyes delightfully. He looked back at the flowers once again for only a moment as the boy, Kassanova, tripped and fell flat on his face.

"Geh!!! Itai!!" Nova sounded in pain from the tumble. Yoru quickly took notice, springing up and coming over.

"You alright kid?" The black haired man asked in much concern, trying to help the boy to sit up. The blue eyed boy jumped up quickly, "oh um… I-I'm fine…" Nova quickly took off again. Yoru looked in confusion of the man running off so suddenly, struck by the look Nova had given him with those beautiful innocent eyes.

"Wonder who that was…" Yoru murmured to himself, his mind pondering.

------------------------------------------------

Kassanova looked around all the booths and activities that could be done with excitement. Two punks had noticed he would be possibly good for picking, following him discretely. In the meantime, Yoru had begun to browse around the food shops, enjoying the smells and the sounds he rarely deals with in an office. Nova had followed a good scent and the punks were right on his tail; waiting for the opportune moment. Finding him suddenly vulnerable going past an abandoned alley-way they quickly snatched him, pulling and dragging Kassanova into one of the alley's pocket.

"N-no!!! Stop it!!!" Nova pleaded, afraid they would be going after 'something else' then just cash. The second of the two quickly pressed a hand up to Nova's mouth as the first began to de-robe the defenseless male with his dirty foul hands. Nova's eyes began to well up with tears; certain they want to claim his body. The first one growled, finding him clean.

"Fuck this kid is useless! There isn't anything here." The first one grumbled, the second tightened his grip even more on the boy. The innocent victim tried to break free, being shoved to the ground before he could think by the man having already been holding him.

"Fine, we'll just use his 'body' hen." The second began to strip Nova bare of clothes and pride that he might have left. "Only wearing a Kimono?" The man chuckled, Nova had only been wearing the Kimono, nothing else not even undergarments.

"Noooo!!!" The scared boy screamed out, though he could not be heard over the roar of the festival. The second punk grabbed up the boy's thinner hips, causing the blue-eyed boy to really start crying.

"Shut up kid!" The first one hollered smacking Nova's face to shut him up, proving successful. Nova struggled, unable to get away from the men's grip.

"Hey! What are you punks doing!?" Yoru yelled finally rounding the correct corner. The punks looked up and quickly scattered as Yoru ran up to the prisoner's shaken body. "You alright?" The green eyed man, Yoru, asked worriedly kneeling beside the boy. Nova's blue eyes widened even more, his body trembling and unable to answer. "here…" Yoru said mothering as he helped the kid to sit up. "Calm down kay?" Yoru easily noticed the fright the boy had attained. Nova coward away immediately from being touched, scrambling from him to the other side of the alley, giving Yoru a look of pure fear. "It's alright kid I'm not gonna hurt you." Yoru said walking towards the kid wanting to help. He held out his hand wanting the younger male to take it.

Nova quickly slapped it away screaming out, "Noooo! Get away from me!!!' Kassanova quickly grabbed up his kimono off the filthy ground and pulled it close to his chest, hiding his bare body from the slightly older man.

"You're covered in 'dirt' kid." Yoru was slightly inpatient and it showed in his voice as well. "I can't just leave you all alone like this," He said taking off his large coat and held it out to the kid, eager to put it on the boy. "Put it on, it's much bigger then that provocative kimono…"

"P-Please… just go away… please just leave me alone… I don't know what you want… I don't have anything… please don't hurt me… please just go…" The blue eyed boy stared with those quivering words.

"here… you can just have my coat then." The green eyed male tossed it at the boy's feet, slowly walking off around the corner. "I'm not gonna harm you, I can take you and clean you up if that's what you wish… but I'm not forcing you." Yoru stated, keeping around the corner so the boy can get decent. The blue eyes just stared down at the coat, unsure of what to do. "I'm gonna wait around the corner, go ahead and change then make up your mind. I'll make sure they don't come back again." Yoru said glancing around checking around to make sure the punks aren't hovering and waiting like vultures. Nova just sat there, afraid to do anything at the moment. Yoru pondered what the kid was gonna do, looking around to make sure the punks really were gone. "what a strange kid." Yoru murmured to himself. Nova finally began to put back on his Kimono. "You alright over there?" Yoru called out, making sure he would be okay to go back around the corner to look. Nova was not yet fully re-clothed as Yoru walked around the corner, seeing the boy still completely naked, getting a view of the boy's naked back and rear. Yoru quickly drew his green eyes down, "Are ya' almost done dressing?"

Nova put the Kimono all the way back on, tying the sash around to hold it closed, "Yes…" He said, putting the coat on over it to totally hide his body.

Yoru carefully looked up to see Kassanova dressed now, "You okay now?" Yoru asked and received a simple nod back as a response from the boy. "Do you need me to take you home?"

"N-no… I can get there myself…" Nova replied quietly.

"Where is it? I have a car, I can take you… I would feel more comfortable knowing you will get home safe." Yoru offered with urge in his voice.

"N-no... please… I can do it…" Nova said still a little afraid of the kind stranger.

"I insist… I haven't hurt you yet, and I don't plan on it… is it close?" Yoru asked, trying to rouse the littler male to feel more open to speak.

"N-no!" Nova quickly ran past and into the busy crowd of people out of the alley.

"Wait!" Yoru quickly ran after, trying to keep his eyes on the white haired boy running threw the crowd of many dark haired people. Before he knew it the boy had vanished into thin air, he slowly stopped upon seeing the boy gone from his eyes. Confusedly he looked around the crowd no longer seeing him. "where did he go?" He slowly began to walk to the car, feeling slightly defeated.

Meanwhile, Nova had reappeared somewhere far away on the festival grounds. "m-maybe I should have thanked him for saving me…" Nova started running back in that direction. Yoru had managed to get to his car, slightly bummed and unlocked it. Nova looked frantically for the man, wantly to convey his feelings. Yoru dropped his keys and slowly picked it up, standing back up to see the kid.

"Hey~" He said and Nova quickly turned and spotted him.

"H-hi…I… uh… I wanted to thank you for earlier… and thank you for your coat…" He took it off, his kimono still safely on his body holding the coat out to Yoru. "You can take it back…"

"It's alright kid, you can keep it… You still need a ride home?" Yoru offered once again, thinking their might be hope.

"Well… I wish you could give me one… but…"

"It's alright, I don't mind giving you a ride." He opened the passenger door for him before he could answer, "Hop in!"

"N-no… It's not that… I-I…" Nova tried to speak but he was gently prodded into the seat and the door shut, locking him in with the child lock he always had on. "N-No!!! Please wait!!!" Nova got scared again as Yoru got into the driver's side. "You don't understand!!"

"What?" Yoru asked, starting the care and driving off anyways.

"I-I don't' have a home for you to take me too… I-I don't have a home…"

"No home?" Yoru got a very confused look on his face, "Why don't you have a home?"

"I don't have any parents…" Nova looked down at his hands he had placed in his lap, feeling ashamed. "I was abandoned at birth… They didn't want me so they put me in an orphanage. Then several years later I found out they were murdered. And no one liked me in that place, not a single person. Everyone was really mean… I-I ran away… several months ago." Nova began to tear up again just thinking about it.

Yoru was trying to understand all Nova said, actually shocked about Nova's background since it's not at all a common thing. "So then… where the hell are you living?"

"Where ever I fall asleep at night…" Nova said, his hand reaching for the door knob trying to unlock it but can't. "C-can you unlock it? … I've wasted enough of your time… I should be going…"

"Well, you can't necessarily just walk out of the car while it is moving kid… and if you have no where to go you might as well hang at my place… at least for the night…" He said, reminding of the dirty Kimono Nova is wearing.

"I-I can't…"

"What do you mean you can't?" Yoru asked confused, turning the car into one of the many garages Yoru owned.

"No I can't please… just take me back… I shouldn't be here… I-I can't stay here…"

"It's alright… Consider this payback for saving you when I did." The black haired man said while getting out of the parked car and shut his door. He went around and opened Nova's door from the outside.

"H-how is it paying you back? You're inviting me to stay with you… that's not doing anything for you… it's just you saving me again… please just take me back…"

"Listen kid… what's your name?" Yoru asked quite unsure of Nova's name or what to call him by.

"That's one of the reasons I can't stay here… we don't even know each other… I don't know you… you don't know me… so please just let me go…" Nova said, not budging from the car.

Yoru sighed, rubbing his forehead, "At LEAST come in and take a shower…"

"Wh-why?" Nova looked up at the green eyed man cautiously and curiously. "Why won't you just let me go?..."

"Because I will feel guilty leaving you with no place warm to go… I'm not gonna tolerate picturing you sleeping on the streets." Yoru said, holding his hand out wanting Nova to get out of the car already.

"M-more like a bench…" Nova said keeping his hand away, even drawing it back some.

"Either way I don't want you sleeping out in the cold." Yoru wouldn't give, continuing to hold out his larger hand.

"But it isn't cold out…"

"I don't want you on the streets is what I mean…" Yoru lightly growled, tired the kid isn't coming out of the car by now.

"I can't stay here… I can't owe you anything… I have nothing to give in return."

"you can give me piece of mind knowing you'll be somewhere safe…" Yoru said, still waiting and trying to keep patient.

"I-I don't know… nothing is free… I would have to pay you back. I don't have a way to do that."

Yoru gave out another sigh, giving up on his patience and grabbing Nova's wrist up, pulling him out of the car. "Come on… It's free since I'm rich.."

"N-no please!!" Threw Nova's pulling he suddenly stumbled foreward, tripping and falling into Yoru, in turn Yoru quickly grabbed onto Nova like it was an automatic reflex.

"Eh! You alright?" Yoru looked worried, keeping his eyes gazed down at the littler white haired man.

"I-I think so…" Nova's heart was racing.

"Here, let me carry you… You look too thin you must not eat a lot." Yoru said while picking Nova up like a bride. He really didn't look all that thin, just slightly less the average for a boy his age.

"I-I don't' eat a lot no… u-uh… I-I can walk just fine…"

Yoru ignored that last part, "Obviously you can't… You're too clumsy." Yoru said as he got them inside the large house.

Nova clinged to Yoru's shirt a bit, "Did you say you were rich…?"

"Yes.." Yoru said shutting the door then setting down Nova.

"You're house is so big. It's pretty." Nova said glancing around the living room; it was nice and big, comfortably open.

"Thank you." Yoru smiled gently rubbing the back of his own neck. "You want a shower 'now' or 'after' we eat?"

"Umm… thank you… You're feeding me too!?"

"Why not? I can't have you falling down 'every time' you attempt to walk." Yoru chuckled out.

"But I tripped…"

"Either way… You're just skin and bones." Yoru said sarcastically.

"Not completely!!!"

"Prove it.." Yoru said with a smirk, looking down at Nova's thinner figure.

"H-how?"
