Where We Go From Here - Kagari love story (Psycho-Pass Fanfic)

Chapter 2

"What do you mean your leaving?" I asked, both shocked and saddened that Kagari would just simply leave me behind just like that. 

"I mean, they offered me a ticket out of here, and I'm taking it." He replied, the expression in his voice had now changed to suggest that this was no big deal at all. Which of coarse, it was. 

"What about me?" I asked, nearly choking on my words. Tears were forming in my eyes, but I swore on my life I wouldn't let them fall. Not now, not in front of him. 

He looked away, ruffling his hair. I knew that was trying to figure out what to say next. 

"Ivory, look at this seriously. Do you really think that escape is possible?" He asked seriously, his eyes were looking at me sadly, but his voice sounded like he didn't regret a thing. How could his eyes say one thing, but his voice say another. 

"I-"

"The only way we're going to get out of here is if we're offered, and I was. I'm sorry that I took the opportunity when it was given to me." He said, sighing. 

"Again, what about me?" I almost screamed. Didn't he care at all? No, I guess he doesn't. He never did. We're just friends, after all. I guess our escape plan meant nothing to him this whole time. 

"I can't take you with me." He stated. He wasn't giving me the answer I wanted, and he knew it. He was avoiding it. 

"I want out too! I thought we were in this together!" I was too outraged to care if I started yelling at him. I didn't care what he thought of me after this, because it wasn't like I was ever going to see him again anyways. 

"I know." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. It was a habit I found attractive, but now I just found it annoying. "I'll do everything I can. I'll convince them they need you on the team too. Your smart." 

"I'm not as smart as you! I'm not cut out for the job your taking." I replied, tears leaving my eyes. Dammit. Stupid Kagari. Why can't my emotions just hide away so nobody, especially Kagari, has to see them!?

"You are smart." Kagari said, looking at me seriously. Then his expression changed and he was looking at me sadly again. "Hey, don't cry. I don't mean that much for you to cry over." He said, smiling slightly, trying to lighten the mood. 

Oh, Kagari. Yes you do. More than you'll ever know.

I turned away, more tears escaping. "Is this goodbye, then?" I asked, my voice shaking. 

"Tomorrow. That's when I'm leaving." He replied. 

I nodded, turning away from the glass. I just needed to think, to calm down. 

"Wait, I gotta tell you something." 

My heart fluttered. Could this be a confession? 

I turned back towards him, hopeful. "Yeah?" 

He hesitated for a few seconds, mumbling to himself, before he finally returned my gaze. "Nevermind." He muttered. "It's not important." Then he turned away and returned to the dark corner of his room. 

My heart sunk as I walked to my bed. Of coarse it wasn't a confession. I need to stop getting my hopes up. He doesn't feel the same way as me, and he never will. I can understand why. There are so many reasons. I'm pathetic, exhibit A; what happened just now. Someone as great as him shouldn't even have to look at me. 

No, that's not true. I'm just putting myself down because I'm sad. 

And Kagari's leaving me. 

When I'm sure he can't see me, I hug my knees on the far corner of my bed and silently cry. 

I wake up on the edge of my bed in the morning, curled up in a tight ball. I groan, lifting my head slightly as I hear voices. I look over to Kagari's room, to see a man with black hair and glasses talking with Kagari. I close my eyes as Kagari looks over at me. It's too painful to say goodbye, so I pretend to still be asleep.
