I'll Be The Hero!

He gave Blakely a serious look.

"Labels. Don't. Lie."

He swallowed roughly.

"...b-but I...I just...I don't want...to."

"Do you love me?"

He looked away, refusing to answer.

"...Is it me?"

He shook his head.

"N-no!"

"Then why won't you let me show my love the only way I know how--with my sex-bomb body!"

"B-because I d-don't like sex!" He exclaimed, tears pouring down his cheeks again. "I-I never liked it!"

He kissed him on the forehead.

"Just try it with me. If you don't like it, I'll make sure that you never have to have sex with anyone ever again."

He shook his head.

"I-I already know I don't!!"

He frowned.

"...We've had sex before?"

He shook his head.

"I don't have to to know I don't like it!"

"Then think of it this way--do it one more time and you never have to do it ever again."

"...I-if I refuse now, I never have to do it again."

He shook his head.

"You're a prostitute. Don't you think it's bound to happen again?"

He sniffled, realizing that was true.

"...I-I..."

Hiro pulled him close.

"Just once. Then never again. I'll protect you."

He hung his head.

"...o...okay..."

He kissed Blakely gently, holding him close.

"...Do you still want this pie before we go?"

Blakely just looked dejected. More so than usual.

"...who cares..."

Hiro frowned, tossing it over his shoulder.

"Please don't be sad...I'll do anything to make you smile..."

"...D-don't sleep with me."

"But if i do that, then you'll get raped by other people."

"Why can't you just protect me without sleeping with me?!" He exclaimed, and the second he did, he burst into tears. "I'M SO SORRY FOR SNAPPING AT YOU!!"

Hiro kissed him on the cheek.

"It's okay. And I do it because I need proof that you're not just using me--do you understand?"
