I arrived back after another game night, fully unharmed. I entered back into the lobby as many of the other game survivors were doing so. I was able to put my mind off other things, like feeling mad because of him, but now since I was back and didn't have a distraction anymore, my mind was starting to taunt me again with troublesome thoughts and feelings. As I looked around the lobby leaning against a pilar, I noticed the group of militants entering through a different entrance, led by Niragi and Aguni.
Does he even have a conscience anymore? Most likely not I guess. Why do I feel so affected by him? Just like that high school crush has never left.
He noticed me staring and also stared in my direction. I also noticed he was staring back at me, rolled my eyes and turned around, heading towards the rooftop. There, I could have some alone time at least. After walking through the large constructed maze that was this building, I finally arrived at the top. I took seat on the edge of the rooftop, letting my legs dangle off.
Hopefully I passed their 'test', they should be thankful they're still alive thanks to me.
'Game clear – Congratulations'
-"Thanks to Y/N the chance of survival went from 66% to 100%. Very good."
"You're welcome"
Now the only thing I just need to get done is talk to him.
-"Are you planning on jumping off?", a voice spoke behind me.
"I might"
-"Do it, I dare you"
"Your reverse psychology is not going to work on me Niragi". He walked over and sat down next to me, gluing his gaze on me.
-"You're mad at me. Tell me why". He sounded serious this time, almost as if he were concerned.
"I almost don't know what to say to you anymore, Niragi". I let out a sad smile. "I feel stupid. Stupid for hoping that we could actually start over, return to how things were when we were still so in love. We grew older and changed, of course it could never be the same again. And of course your lovely reputation, it hurt me to hear that that was how you turned out".
He sighed. "Look Y/N, before you arrived here, I did a lot of stupid stuff, I messed around a lot. It felt nice to be in a position of more power. And of course I didn't have you next to me anymore, to tell me that everything would be fine, to make me calm down, to get me to my senses. In this moment, I'm just so grateful we're reunited, I'm grateful I get to see your beautiful face again, and that beautiful body of yours. The bikini looks great on you by the way".
"Oh shut up", I started blushing despite the tears almost fully blocking my vision.
-"I apologize to you for my reckless behavior, and causing such a scene.", he bowed ironically. "The guy and everyone else deserved to know it tough".
"I don't know if I want to accept that apology yet", I let out a chuckle.
-"You're beautiful Hirai Y/N. And I mean it when I say I hate everyone in this entire world but you. Let's promise again, We'll stick together no matter what, until our time comes, we don't leave each other's side". He stuck his pinky out, to make a promise, just like we did back then. I proceeded to hook my pinky with his, securing it. He smiled brightly, making my heart flutter. That smile, it's exactly the same as that high school boy I fell in love with. In that way you could say he hasn't changed a bit. The tingling, it had returned, it felt as if my heart was doing cartwheels inside my chest.
"Funny how we always end up on rooftops together, isn't it?".
-"Just like back then". His eyes rested on my face for a while, as mine rested on his too. He leaned in, bringing his face closer to mine, and pressed his lips on mine, holding the back of my head in his hand, bringing me closer to him. The kiss wasn't rough, not playful, it felt deep, and meaningful. It felt, perfect.
He separated his lips for mine, leaning his forehead on my forehead, as we stared in each other's eyes for a bit.
"I don't know if you know yet, but Aguni asked me to join the militants", I said breaking the silence.
-"No way really? Do you know how to shoot a gun?", he sounded excited.
"I've spent 5 years in the US, I tried it multiple times", I joked.
-"That's amazing, I bet you holding a gun Is even hotter", he teased.
"I could say the same about you", I teased back.
A smirk grew on his face, as he started leaning in again. Before his lips reached mine again we were interrupted by someone storming trough the door that led to the rooftop.
--"There you are! Do the two lovebirds mind coming to the meeting? it's about to start", Ann spoke.
-"Of course". Niragi stood up and reached out his hand for me to hold it, and we followed Ann to the meeting room. As we got there we sat down at the table, like all the other executive members. A familiar face caught my eyes again.
Of course, Chishiya, he's part of this team too.
His eyes have seemed to find my face too, as he raised an eyebrow at me. Niragi noticed that our eyes were connected, and subtly placed his hand on my thigh, caressing the skin, drawing my attention to him. We looked each other in the eyes one more time before Mira started speaking.
-"4 of diamonds, 3 of spades, 10 of clubs", we've collected them tonight!", howewer, we still haven't found the 7 of hearts or 10 or hearts."
--"Seems like those cards are hiding themselves because we have found every other heart card out there and yet these have never – in the entirety of this society – showed up", hatter spoke. "Y/N, as someone who has cleared multiple heart games before, how did you experience it?".
"It's easy when you're around those you don't care about. If you bring those who you don't mind dying, then it's easier to reach your goal."
---"I think the seven of hearts will show up faster than the 10 of hearts, we will find it with some time", the number two spoke.
--"It better shows up soon, the longer we have to wait, the longer we will be stuck in this country. Let's not give up the hunt yet, the 7 of hearts is our next goal!".
-"I'll announce something too, now that we are all gathered here", Aguni spoke. "We will have a new member in our militant team. Y/N will be joining us from now on."
Everyone seemed surprised but accepted it rather quickly.
--"You're a lucky one aren't you? Your first day here and already been given such privileges.", Mira said.
"I'm honored", I politely smiled, bowing my head slightly.
-"Now, everyone is dismissed, you can go have fun again", hatter announced.
Everyone got up and headed out of the meeting room. We left the room as then Aguni walked up to us again.
-"Niragi, you're needed in that room again, you know what to do. Y/N, follow me to the storage room, you still need to receive a weapon."
"Have fun picking out a new toy", Niragi flashed a last smile before heading in a different direction.
