[-something we've been keeping from you. Just like that, he's tensing a little more. Bracing himself, as though he can possibly imagine what's about to be said next. Maybe it will make it easier to take it -- whatever it is. Only...
Suddenly, he can't seem to take in the next breath without thinking hard about it. It's almost like someone's squeezing his chest real tightly, forcing him to remain still. Perfectly still, unmoving, not even taking those words in their entirety. The rest of the room fades away for just a split second -- Mika, Zero, Yuuki... It's only them, nothing else. A tense air hangs around them, and he's left staring at Zero as though he's speaking in another language for a moment. Until...
Mika.
It's like the words are finally clicking into place. Finally working their way through the fog, and he's turning his head, looking at the blond with somewhat widened eyes. So, Zero... felt pain kind of like Mika's. But, then... if Zero was stabbed and bitten... that makes him...]
H...eh... What are you... saying? [But, then it's like a switch has been flipped, the second he hears the last three sentences. Did he just tell them to run away? Be scared?] You lie to us... hide the truth... You're just like-... Is this how all adults work?! They think they can keep the truth from us until it's convenient to talk about?!
[Really, he's barely thinking about what's coming out of his mouth. It's not until after that, however, he does think about something. A bitter, trembling smile appears as he opens his mouth to speak the next thing:] ... I knew you were too good to be true. What were you planning to do, huh? Get us to trust you, just so you could use us for blood, too?
[But the second the last sentence escapes, so do the tears -- bitter, angry tears that might make it clear he doesn't... truly feel that way about them, at all. This hurts. Not as much as learning that Mika's a vampire, but... close enough to have it feeling like his chest is being stabbed with a dull knife.
Without thinking, he's rushing forward, fists raised and aiming to slam into Zero's midsection the second he's close enough.] Don't you dare tell me to run away, damn you! I'm not scared of you! But, don't you ever lie to us, ever again! I thought we were-...gonna be... family...
[With that, he's just going to continue crying, head lowered.]
