Why You? | Naegami (rewriting)

Ch 3 - The First Night Is The Worst

}~Makoto's POV~{

Of course.

The last person left in the room with me had to be Byakuya. Great. The person who thinks of himself so highly and doesn't speak to anyone unless necessary.

"Makoto." His cold tone cut through my thoughts as I looked up at him.

Why is he so close to me..?

"I can tell you're afraid of death. You flinch at the mention of it. Why is that?" He walked closer to me, and at this point he was right in front of me.

"..." I just stay quiet. I can't exactly answer that when there's some extremely attractive guy staring me down.

I didn't expect what happened next. He leaned down and took my chin between his index finger and his thumb then forced me to look at him.

"What did I tell you this morning?"

I looked at him without much of a choice as I tried to remember.

"To... stop making you feel some way."

"Correct. And you haven't done that."

"I can't really control how you feel.. that's up to you."

"Tch.."

He let his hand fall back to his side as he stood straight again.

"I don't understand this feeling. But you're putting too much trust in me. I could've simply gone back to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, or like Celeste mentioned poisoned those pills I gave you. Why are you trusting me so much Makoto?" He looked down at me as he spoke, but his voice didn't sound as cold. It seemed like he genuinely wanted to know.

"It just feels.. right. I don't think you're the type to just tell someone everything about a person. You don't even tell people about yourself. My guess is that it has something to do with your past before Hope's Peak."

}~Byakuya's POV~{ (A/N Shush I just like writing in Byakuya's POV, sorry if he;s a bit ooc)

I just stood there. I knew that if I told him he would just keep it to himself, or give me some type of condolence, but.. I was afraid. I hate to admit it, but I've never told anyone about my past. I don't like the way I became the sole heir, and I don't like how my father treats me. There are plenty of things that I don't like, but I don't have control over that.

"You don't have to tell me. It's fine if you don't trust me yet, that's something that takes time." Makoto looked up at me with a shy smile as he reached out to take my hand into his own.

I felt my face heat up as he did so, and I turned my head away, keeping my hand over my face. I don't want to admit it, but.. I enjoyed this. I wanted to stay by Makoto.

"We should probably go to the dorms, there isn't much time until nighttime."

I nodded and pulled him towards the door. He let go of my hand as I saw him look away. Was he blushing? Oh shit- I forgot he was... great..

"S-sorry.."

I just did what felt right and I.. hugged him.

"You don't need to apologize.. I don't mind." I muttered to him as he accepted the hug and put his arms around me.

"Thank you Togami.."

"Byakuya's fine."

I let go of him and walk to my dorm, leaving Makoto alone.

"Ugh..." I groan as I collapse onto my bed. "Why did I do that?"

Some part of me knew why I did that. But the rest of me doesn't want to admit it. I don't really want to think that he could be special. But he just might be different. I've never really been as drawn to anyone as I have been with Makoto. Sure, there are a few people that could make it far in this game, even I was forced to admit it. People such as Celeste, Kyoko, and most likely Makoto.
