Kiji was still glaring at Ruka after the bitch-slap he gave him. It wasn't often he used violence against anyone, let alone a fellow colleague, but he couldn't hold himself back this time. Not after witnessing all those nasty things he heard him say to you. With a harsh glare he looks down at the male in front of him, making it clear that he didn't wanted to hear any more of his bs.

You better leave now.

Still holding his cheek, Ruka briefly glances towards you with narrowed eyes before turning around with a huff and leaving the room quickly. Kiji lets out a sigh once you two are alone and turns towards you, his gaze softening as he takes in your saddened expression and downcast gaze. Despite caring greatly about his appearance, he couldn't stand it if others were judged only by their looks or discriminated. Especially since you were his friend. Kiji gently places his hand on your shoulder, his voice soft and laced with a hint of concern as he speaks.

Are you alright darling?
