Story:
It wasn't uncommon for Ritsu Souma to wake up with a pounding headache. There were many times he had gone to bed crying, and would suffer a morning migrane due to it. He was rather used to the feeling by now. In fact, the real surprise would be if he had woken up without one.
Like he did this morning.
Not that he hadn't been upset last night, or other crucial times during the past week. The fact of the matter was, all of the cruel words he'd heard from family, freinds, and even complete strangers had exhausted his tear ducts. There was a point where he couldn't cry anymore, and his voice had gone raw from apologizing. His entire body had grown exhausted, and it was a struggle to sit up in bed. He stared downward, pondering why fate had been so cruel as to let him live through the night.
Another day of people hating him. Another day of insults, of being told he was worthless.
The doorknob jiggled. Ritsu's mother was on the other end, her voice shaky. "Rit-chan?" She called out. "...Are you hungry? ...I made you breakfast..." Her voice began to rise, in desperation. "...Please come out, Rit-chan, I haven't seen you in days..."
However, through the trial of Q, all Ritsu could hear was "When will you get out of my house, you freak of a son? I've wasted food upon you, a room upon you! Get out of my house, you ape!"
Ritsu swallowed, and covered his hands with his ears. "Gomenasai!" He moaned the formal Japanese apology. "Gomenasai, Oka-san! I'm sorry for making you waste it all on me..."
His mother hung her shoulders, unable to understand what her son was going through. The apologetic routine was normal, but now he was hearing things! He'd accused her of yelling and screaming things she had not said at all! "...Gomenasai, Rit-chan!" She suddenly screamed. "I know you are suffering because you are a monkey and there's nothing I can do at all but I'm still your Oka-san and I will always love you! Have mercy upon yourself, Rit-chan! HAVE MERCYYYYYY!"
...Well, he had to get it from somewhere.
Alas, he interpreted it as her disguist at having an animal as a son...her pure hatred at his pathetic wailings....how the world would have been better if she never gave birth...
"...Gomenasai, Oka-san..." He murmured, unable to scream anything back. He laid down, burying his face into his pillow.
Oka-san shook her head, and slowly began to walk away, her own tears dribbling down her tired cheeks.
Ritsu breathed aganist his pillow, in and out...how long was he to go on like this? Stuck in his room, afraid to hear what those he loved had to say? To burden these people forever? He missed them...He missed Daisuke, and Dark, and Maraich, and Tooru, Yuki, Shigure, Ayame, Mitchan, Akito...he missed his mother...
But wasn't this better for all of them? If he stayed out of their lives, they would be happier.
...He missed them, though. He missed them so much.
But they were happier this way.
But he missed them so much.
Ritsu sat up, pressing his hands into his face. Why did he have to be so selfish?! Why did he have this longing to be with others?! Why couldn't he just let everyone be happy...
...I want them to be happy...
He slid his feet on the floor.
...But...I...
He scrambled with the lock on his door, granting his freedom.
..But I...I want....
He opened the door wide, and, spotting his mother's shadow not too far off, began running.
I want to be happy too!
"OKA-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" Ritsu screamed, and lunged himself at his mother. She gave a startled yelp, as they both fell to the floor. In a poof of yellow smoke, she had a hysterical little monkey in her arms. It tearlessly sobbed into her dress, clutching onto her with his tiny paws. "Forgive me for my impudence Oka-san, but no matter how much you hate me, I will always love you! You were kind enough to give birth to me, to raise me, to feed me, to give me a roof over my head! I'm sorry for all the trouble I've given you, I'm sorry that I can't make you proud, but I still want to be with you! I love you, Oka-san!"
There was a long heavy pause, as both tried to catch their breath. Then, oh so slowly, gentle hands held up the small monkey. Mother had sparkling tears in her eyes, but a wonderous smile on her face. "Oh, my precious Rit-chan...I love you too...Forgive me for making you think otherwise! You'll always be my beloved son, and belive me, I am proud of you! I would wish for no other child! I'm so sorry for not telling you this! Gomenasai!"
Ritsu stared up at his mother, stunned at all the kinds words in one filling. At last, his own tears began to bubble to the surface, and he nuzzled his small head aganist her chin. "Gomenasai!"
"Gomenasai!"
"Gomenasaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
