As Shorter and Sing was bickering about you and the gang you just stood there. Your anxiety was off the roof. Sing said loudly so that you could hear him, "So what? It's not like they're gonna be useful. They're just going to be a burden."  What if he was right? But you didn't care, you wanted justice for Lei's death.

You glared at him and said. "If you don't believe me then I'll prove you that I am worthy of being a part of the gang. I'll work hard in trying to learn on how to use a gun. And maybe even shoot people." You tried to look tough but he just rolled his eyes on you and said. "Fine fine. You're so annoying." You were so close on hitting him, but you didn't want to fight a kid. 

You were also still depressed that your friend died. It hurt a lot. You wanted the pain to stop. You asked Shorter if you could go home already because you didn't feel good. He leaned nearer to your face and placed his hand on your forehead to check your temperature . "You're really warm. You should really rest already. Anyways, Sing. You should go back now. It's getting dark. I'll take care of Y/N."

"It's fine. You guys should just go together. I don't want to bother you anymore." "No. I'll come with you." Sing was annoyed and said. "Ugh, stop flirting with each other. Go get a room!" Shorter pinched his cheek and said  awkwardly. "Haha, sorry about that. He's just salty because I'm hanging  out with you."   "Tch, whatever. I'm going now. Sorry about that, boss..."  After that he started walking away while frowning like he was just defeated.

You were a bit anxious because you thought you were getting in the way of their friendship. "Eh, I'm sorry about that. Anyways, I'll go now. I don't feel so good and I also need  to practice playing the violin..." "Woah, you play the violin?! That's so cool!"  You scratched your neck and said. "Eh, I'm not that good at it though. I still need to practice more, to be 1st place...." You felt dizzy and suddenly fainted.

Shorter's POV: 

Y/N suddenly fainted but luckily I caught her in time. I checked her temperature again and she was even warmer than before. I didn't want to go back home again so I apologized "I'm sorry Y/N..."  Then I took her bag and looked for her keys. There was a keychain attached and it was the number of which floor she lived in. 

After I took her keys, I carried her and started walking towards her apartment building. It was pretty late so there weren't much people there. As I was walking I could hear a faint sobbing and my shoulder was kinda getting wet. "I'm sorry Lei. I was the one who.... should have... died *sniffle*"  It was Y/N.

She was having a nightmare. I tried to comfort her and said. "No, none of you two deserve to die. Please Y/N, stop blaming yourself. I'm sure Lei would be sad if he heard of this. It's not your fault." She didn't answer. I guess her nightmare ended. After a while I reached the building and went inside.

I went to the elevator and pressed the 4th floor. I took the keys out of my pockets and waited for the doors to open. I was carrying her for a pretty long time so I was a little tired. But I suddenly heard a gasp. It has her. She woke up.

Y/N's POV:

Shorter was carrying me on his back. "Eh, w-why are you carrying me on your back???" "Um, you kinda fainted a while ago. You also have a high fever. So you should just stay put. We're almost home."  You nodded and thanked him. The doors open and you told him that your home was the last one. "I should put you down now. You're already home and you probably want to rest already. I  don't want to bother you-" "N-no. Please stay with me for a while. If that's ok..."

He smiled and said "Sure. I would love to." He used the key, went inside and put you on your couch. You felt a little nervous because you and Shorter were the only one in the room. He was looking around and saw your violin. "Woah, a violin! Can I try it??? I've never seen one up close before!"  I smiled and said. "Sure." You coughed and sat up to get a better look of him. He looked so cute even though he was holding it wrong and was basically eargrape.

You laughed at him. He was cute, he noticed you laughing so he stopped and pouted. "Stop laughing at me."  You giggled and said. "I'm sorry. You just look so cute- I mean. It's not that I like you or anything." He put down the violin and said teasingly. "Then I'll make you like me!" "Shorter you dummy." "Aww, thank you~"  "Anyways, wanna watch some movies? It's so boring here..." "Sure. What do you wanna watch?" "Let's watch Given!"  "I already watched that. It was pretty good. I feel bad for Ugetsu-" "AAAAAAH NO SPOILERS PLEASE."  "Oh, sorry about that. Let's just  watch it." 

Both of you finished it. Shorter was crying like a baby. You hold back your tears because you wanted to look tough and not look vulnerable. It's like you didn't have feelings. It reminded Shorter of Ash when they met at the juvenile detention center. You were extremely beautiful but very intimidating. But after a while both of you eventually fell asleep.
