The peace after the storm (Nikei x Iroha)

 Requested by diana3034552 

This will be a lemon with some angst, so be prepared. The story is set before the killing game. I'll be calling them the Children of Usturo until Mikado comes into the picture.

 It turned out as more of an angst and less of a lemon, but trust me, the lemon part is gonna be worth it. Thank you for understanding!

---------------------------------

  It's been two weeks since Iroha met the other Children of Utsuro, Hajime, Emma and the leader, Nikei.

 This organisation was already up to no good, trying to get information illegally, but also other things just as illegal. They were all around the same age, early 20's. They all had the mission to find Utsuro. They developed an adoration for him, because he blessed them with his luck.

Iroha liked to hang out with them, especially with Nikei, the leader, even if he was usually busy and cold to everyone. She liked his attention and his company. It seemed like she started to get attached to him, but she didn't know how to express her feeling towards him, at least directly, like how Nikei like things to be.

 Nikei is the opposite of Iroha. He's very direct and frank with people, when she's very shy and has to avoid things. He can get aggressive at times, she's the equivalent of a puppy that can't even bark. He's very cold with everyone, she's very warm with everyone. He's a liar at times, she can't lie even if her life depended on it. 

 She couldn't talk to many people about this little problem. 'He might not even like me back. He just thinks that I'm annoying. He couldn't like someone like me. I'm just a dumb girl dreaming all day long.' she thought to herself. She got back to her room where she began drawing something out of sadness.

 Her feelings for him only grew day by day and the others began to take notice of it. Emma was the first one to approach her about it. Hajime just teased her subtly. 

 One day, Emma came by Iroha's room to talk to her. She was ready for her to vent her feelings away so she got with her some tissues and snacks. She got to her room and knocked on her door.

 'Hey, Iroha!' said Emma happily. 'Let's hang out today!'

 Iroha hesitated before she went to open the door. She slowly backed away from it and just got back to bed. She didn't feel like doing anything.

 'Are you ok?' asked Emma a bit concerned. 'Can I come in?'

 'Sorry, but I can't right now. I'm working on something.' said Iroha.

 Emma knew that something seemed suspicious because she'd never refuse to hang out, but she respected her privacy and just gave up. She couldn't force Iroha to open up.

 'Alright...maybe another time.' said Emma. 'Just get enough rest afterwards.'

 Iroha felt a bit guilty for lying to Emma, but she felt too depressed to even leave her room. She just shut herself down and started drawing, even if she felt unmotivated to do anything, she still forced herself to do something, anything just so she could distract herself from everything.

 She started to draw a bird she saw outside the window, but quickly gave up and just threw the sketchbook on the other side of the bed.

 'Why can't I do anything? I'm just so tired of anything. I feel so unmotivated.' thought Iroha. 

 She just laid down and hugged her pillow until she fell asleep. She could only think about him and how he wouldn't like her. She even started crying at some point and didn't even realize until she started to sob. She muffled her sobs with the pillow and just continued with pitying herself until she fell asleep.
