Saviour

Towa City

   Hajime's head lolls off to the side as he slowly comes to, a gloved hand poking at his shoulder. He blinks open his eyes, all of his surroundings blurry for a moment before he registers where he is.

   The truck is parked somewhere that he can only assume is the outskirts of Towa City. Souda is still in his seat next to him, staring out the left-hand window. Next to him, the passenger's door is open, letting in the late-afternoon breeze. And standing right next to Hinata, is Servant, staring at him curiously.

   "Servant. . ." Hinata grumbles, sitting up in his seat.

   Servant grins. "Morning Hinata-kun. Well actually, it's nearly nightfall. Anyways, we're in Towa City now. Are you coming or what?"

   Hinata slowly undoes his seatbelt and sits forward, throwing a glance over his shoulder at Souda, who seems to be deep in thought. 

   "Yeah, I'm coming." Hinata replies, undoing his seatbelt. Not that it would've saved him with the reckless way Souda was driving combined with the explosives in the back.

   Servant grins and offers his hand to Hinata, waggling his eyebrows.

   ". . .What are you doing?" Hinata asks. 

   Servant rolls his eyes. "Helping you out of the truck, obviously. Now come, it's getting late and I'd like to seek out some shelter."

   Hinata swats his hand away, hopping down all by himself, shutting the door behind them. Souda grins at them.

   "See you two around, I guess!" He chirps, "Later!"

   The former Ultimate Mechanic revs the engine before setting off, zipping down the street and out of sight, leaving a cloud of dust in his wake.

   "Now then," Servant hums thoughtfully, "What should we do first?" When Hajime doesn't respond, he continues on, saying, "Shelter will be good, even if temporary. That's what I'd already said I wanted to do first. We can find somewhere more permanent to make a home later."

   Hajime shivers. He wasn't exactly sure why but the way Servant referred to their future permanent shelter as a 'home' made him feel. . .weird? Uncomfortable? He couldn't give a name to the feeling but it made his insides clench.

   "A home?" He repeats.

   Servant shrugs. "Sure. I mean, you always need somewhere to return to, right? I'm certain we can find some sort of abandoned building or crumbling house or something."

   "We're going to live together?"

   "Obviously, my dear Reserve-kun. Since we agreed to work and survive together, it's only natural that we live together, hmm?"

   Hinata feels stupid. Maybe the overwhelming, confusing events of today were taking a toll on him combined with the additional thoughts and worries about Souda blowing things up lingering in the back of his mind. 

   ". . .I suppose." Hinata agrees reluctantly.

   Servant smiles, cutely tilting his head to the side. He sure looked excited. Probably just thrilled to be somewhere he's been told is safe and quiet, even though there's no way in hell that was really true. 

   They'd soon find this out of course. A lot of shit is currently going down in Towa City and they'd be knee-deep in it soon. 

   "Good. Then let's get going, yes?"

   Servant turns on his heel and begins walking forward, leaving Hinata no choice but to follow behind. Where else could he really go? Who else could he really trust?
