Lights out

Guerrilla Radio, turn that shit up



I was pretty much falling asleep as I was walking back home from the agency after today's work. We had been working on a really tough case for the last week or so and had been after a gang selling very bad quirk enhancing drugs for ages. Every single day we had an arrest to do and it was honestly one of the most exhausting things I had ever done in my entire life.

But at least I'd be off work for another week now. Tomorrow was a school day which meant I could more or less relax. I had no idea at what point the school days had become more relaxing than the work study days, but they certainly were now. I hadn't even graduated and I already missed school.

But at least I was going to have a job as soon as I finished school, so that was definitely a big advantage I had. It made all the long work hours and all the all nighters worth it. But it also made me want to crawl into Shouta's sleeping bag and take a nap at any given time, to be honest.

I kind of wished I could say more about whether Shouta and I were still a thing or not, but I still had no definitive answer. Sure, we had a small interaction at the Sports Festival and we had kind of been getting back into smalltalk ever since, but I still had no idea what was going on with our relationship. And I was way too afraid to bring up the topic of it, because what if he said we didn't want to be with me anymore? I had no idea how I would even start to deal with that.

Over the last few years I had gotten so attached to Shouta that it was getting hard to imagine my life without him. Sure, I wasn't blind and there were loads of other good-looking guys around the place, but... I just couldn't imagine spending my time with anyone but Shouta.

But it seemed like I just had to wait and see what would be happening. If I had learnt one thing from that huge fight we had it was that pushing Shouta in any direction at all would just make it all worse. He'd get upset and he'd do the opposite of what I wanted him to do just out of spite.

And it wasn't like I had much energy to do anything about this right now. I was completely wrecked from work. I couldn't wait to get a shower, because I had blood all over me and I was dirty and sweaty. I was kind of cursing my decision not to take the train home, but to walk instead.

But then again I kind of didn't want to be in a train and force everyone to actually smell me. Because in all honesty, I was smelling absolutely disgusting. But as it was getting dark much faster than I had anticipated, I was kind of second-guessing that particular choice. This really wasn't the best area to be walking in the dark, especially since I was way too tired to notice if anything was off.

Or too tired to defend myself if anything was to happen. I could barely lift my feet off the ground properly. This had definitely not been a great idea. I looked around myself to check where exactly I was. Maybe I could just make it to the next train station and get the train from there.

Yeah, that was probably the best idea. It would take me through most of the really dodgy areas, but if I walked as fast as I could, then that shouldn't be a problem. Maybe I could be on the phone to someone, so they'd figure out if something weird was going on with me. Yeah, that sounded good...

I quickly got my phone out of my backpack and checked it. I had gotten a few notifications, but nothing really important. I noticed that I didn't have a lot of battery left on it, so I should probably choose who I was going to call well. I felt a little pang in my heart when I realized that I would have called Oboro in a situation like this. I pushed all that aside and focused on my contacts.

Who else was there? There was Maiko, there was Hideko, there was Hizashi and there was Shouta. I didn't really think it was fair to call Hideko at a time like this, because she was probably already asleep. I honestly should have been back at home and in bed already, as well.

But overtime was overtime and there was nothing I could do about it. At least I could take all those hours back and use them to study for the finals later this year. If I didn't have that time to take off I'd probably straight up fail my exams. I quickly went to call Maiko's number, but was sent right to voicemail. Damn it, that wasn't going to help me much. I hung up. Might go back to that if there was no one I could reach. It would probably already help if people thought I was talking to someone on the phone. Surely no one would try anything funny then, right?

I quickly went to dial Hizashi's number and the phone started ringing. Thank God, at least he had his phone turned on. I knew that he was really clumsy with it, though, so I wasn't surprised when it was ringing for a long time. But he just didn't pick up. No matter how long I waited, he didn't pick up. And then I once again had voicemail answer my call. I cursed and hung up.

My thumb hovered over Shouta's number for a second. I knew this was potentially a life and death situation, but I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to call him right now. He was probably either asleep or training and I knew he'd be angry if I called him for something dumb like getting freaked out by being out alone on the streets. I wasn't sure if I should really go and call him...

Instead I went back to try Hizashi again. Maybe he was just busy. Maybe he was too slow picking up his phone. I knew how chaotic he could be sometimes. Often it took like two or three calls until he managed to find his phone, so that was probably it. Yeah, I'd just call Hizashi again.

I started another call and turned around nervously as I heard something that sounded like steps. But there was no one. Alright, I was just getting paranoid. There was nothing. I could just calm down, right? I'd be fine. I'd be fine. I'd be fine, if Hizashi would just pick up his fucking phone already! I couldn't believe it was still ringing. What the hell was he doing at this time anyway?

I hung up again in frustration as I got voicemail once again. This was ridiculous. My phone was on the last 3% now and I still wasn't able to reach anyone and by now I was pretty sure that someone was following me. I was hearing steps again and there was some guy in a hoodie, his face hidden under the hood that was following me in the distance. He was probably just walking the same way by coincidence, but it still freaked me out. Guess I had to call Shouta.

I quickly dialled his number and waited for him to pick up the call. It rang about twice, before my battery actually died. I sighed. Well, I was probably better off packing this phone away and getting ready to defend myself just in case. Which would be a pain, because I had gotten a few smaller injuries and I had been sleep-deprived for about the last week because of overtime.

"Hey, wait a second, wait up!" I heard the guy behind me calling after me. And I knew I probably should have been running for my life in that moment, but I stopped in my tracks and looked back at him. Maybe he just wanted to ask for directions or something? I glanced around me.

I couldn't see anyone else, but I still felt like I was being watched. Something about this whole situation was rubbing me completely the wrong way. I needed to get out of here right away. There was nothing else to do, especially when I started hearing noises from other directions, too.

"Sorry, I don't have time!" I quickly shouted at him and started running just to be stopped by someone grabbing my wrist. I hadn't even seen this guy. Fuck this was bad... That was my last thought, before I heard a dull noise and felt a sharp pain at the back of my head and then everything went completely black and I knew right away that this was it. It was over for me.
