I wrote this fic awhile back when I was obsessed with Lux-Pain. I stopped playing for looong time when I couldn't beat the 2nd, 3rdish, -somewhere around there- boss. My hand felt like it was going to fall off and I still couldn't kill it… Yeah, I gave up. Still haven't finished the game yet… It was pretty depressing too, but I thought it was AMAZING.

Enough ranting.

Disclaimer: I don't own Lux-Pain.

"Eh, Atsuki? You okay?" Rui asked during lunch. Atsuki nodded. His nightmares had gotten worse the past week and a lack of sleep definitely wasn't good for you.

"You don't look too well," Akira told him. He looked into his reflection in the window and winced. The circles under his eyes and his pallid skin were a bit obvious.

"Maybe you should go to the nurse. You see Miss Honoka a lot. She's nice," Mika insisted.

"I'll take you then," Ryo said, promptly pulling Atsuki up and dragging him off.

"You aren't sleeping well!" Ms. Honokaa snapped at Atsuki.

"You haven't been up to anything, or else Miss Aoi will kill you," she told him worriedly. Atsuki was slightly surprised at how Miss Honoka reacted, but he had to go investigating tonight.

-That Night-

Kill. So… Beautifuuuuuulllllll….

KILL!

Warm, soft…. !

They're so annoying awake…

Atsuki couldn't help but feel revolted by this Shinen. The Target: A serial rapist, and ardent practice of necrophilia. He shuddered at the thought of what the direct Shinen probably felt like instead of the residual. All of a sudden his legs felt weak and he collapsed, his mind growing hazy.

When he woke up, he felt someone tugging at his clothes. His mind drifted to the rapist and he yelled, lashing out. The person swore colorfully, hit him back, and then dropped him onto something soft. He opened his eyes and couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

"Lin… Yee?"

He looked around.

"Why are you in my apartment?"

The man glared.

"You seem to have forgotten that you passed out in that building and no one else really felt like volunteering to drag a lump of meat back muttering about raping, dead girls, and Silent."

Atsuki blushed faintly against his will. Had he really been sleep talking about creepy thing like that? Talk about disturbing. When he looked up again, Liu Yee was gone. He sighed and flopped back onto his bed, terribly tired. As he slept, Gawain seemed to ache painfully on his finger.
