Angel-Lawyer part 14

“How did you end up working as a whore?” Ohno asked as they sat on the sofa his arm around his shoulders with the thinner man’s back against his chest. It was a cosy position, almost as if they were already lovers. It was almost stupid how easy it all was and he gave a sigh his wrapping completely around the shoulders. “What about your family?”

“…No idea…I guess I have them…Somewhere…” The boy answered with a slow and deliberate roll of the shoulders his face closed off. For a moment Ohno thought that he wasn’t going to answer any further but eventually he started talking again in a dead pan hollow voice that sounded as if he was trying to distance himself from it all “They aren’t worth troubling with, as far as I can remember my Dad was a dead beat and mum was an alcoholic…I was taken in by my gran…She died…I don’t know how many years ago…I had to make a living…Turns out letting guys fuck me was an easy way of earning a living…”

“…I don’t think that your view or easy and mine are the same…” Ohno hummed somehow managing to keep his emotion from his voice but it was a hard fought battle. “How old are you really…? The truth…Please…”

“I’m…15…16? I think…No…I’m pretty sure…” Nino answered and Ohno felt anger curling up inside of him again. He couldn’t believe that Nino couldn’t pinpoint his exact age and he was sure that he didn’t want to know the answer for the next question but it was something that he needed to know.

“15 or 16? How long has it been since your grandmother died?”

“Um…4 no I think maybe 5 years ago…I don’t remember…”

“And you’ve been living rough since then? Working as a whore?” Ohno was thankful that his voice was continuing to remain calm but he knew that his fists had clenched so much he was going to cut open his palms if he wasn’t careful. Nino still didn’t seem to realise how bad his life had been though and he simply shook his head answering him honestly;

“Not the whole time…At first I shoplifted and lived rough…There was a kid I hung out with…He looked out for me…Masaki…” Nino’s voice changed then, became soft and Ohno saw a genuinely happy smile on the teens face. It made him look even younger than his delicate age, like the child that he should have been “…He was my best friend…He looked out for all of us on the streets…Gave us food…And stuff…Made sure we were warm…”

“And…What happened to him?” The lawyer asked doubting that it had a happy ending. He rarely had any contact with the kids on the streets but he knew that very few of them helped others because it was in their best interests. For all he knew the kid, Masaki was the reason that Nino was now a whore. Nino’s smile faded though and unlike when talking about his parents or grandma the boy looked sad and when he next spoke it sounded as if he was going to cry;

“He…He was working as a whore to look after us…He got sick…You can’t get sick on the streets…His chest…It got really bad…Until one day he didn’t come back…The littler ones were caught and taken away but I ran…After that it was just me…I could never be like Masaki…I just looked out for my own self…I’m going to go shower…”

Poor Masaki!
He ended up having a nasty ending. They say "no good deed goes unpunished", right?
Satoshi is terrified by the Boys past, no wonder!
What a life!
I truly hope he can help Nino somehow!

That's ok, you know I like this type Ohno anyway. Make it as long as you like. I guess Aiba could still be alive but was unable to return to his charges. I like finding out about their pasts. : )
