(( this takes place in the killing game, shuichi is the SHSL borrower ))
Shuichi had enough of the cold, damp walls. He had no chance of staying the rest of the early morning in there, he could barely feel the tips of his fingers with the cold and dirty air, he had to get out of there for atleast a few minutes. He'd swiftly slipped on his boots and grabbed his various ropes and hooks, he had no clue what he wanted or needed this time, all he knew is that he needed to leave.
Shuichi quickly ran through the twists in the walls , making his way to the makeshift door in the back of one of the cupboards. He knew before he'd set off this wasn't the best idea, he had no clue how to get between all 15 student's time schedules , so he never really knew when would be a good time to borrow. Deep down, he knew he was just setting himself up for disaster . He just prayed it would be another day where he'd just barely escape being caught.
Finally, he'd reached the door that'd been left by generations of borrowers before him. Shuichi slipped open the door and carefully stepped out into the cupboard. The warmth of kitchen overwhelmingly rushed through Shuichi. He gripped tighter onto his bag, holding in a soft chuckle of warmth and joy.
The happiness quickly died down when thundering footsteps crept nearer and nearer. Shuichi held his breath, he had nowhere to hide and had no chance of pulling the heavy door open enough under so much stress. He gripped his bag even tighter. Shuichi bit his lip anxiously, awaiting his end. He just hoped it was one of the nice ones. He could never remember all of their names. Saihara fell back and shuffled into the corner, counting down every second it took for the cupboard door to suddenly swing open. All he could do was close his eyes as tight as he could and hope it would all go away.
[kaito's POV]
Kaito made his way to the kitchen, he wasn't able to sleep. Maybe some water would help? He didn't really know where he wanted to go, but the kitchen seemed like a good place to start.
He slipped into the kitchen, walking over to the cupboard with the glasses in. Kaito creaked open the door, trying not to make too much noise. He could've sworn he heard a faint gasp.
Kaito's eyes trailed to the corner of the cupboard, and there he was. The Super Highschool Level Borrower, he was in the monopad listed as one of the students but no one had seen him. He was terrified. Oh no, Kaito felt guilt wash over him as he watched the poor guy hold back sobs of fear.
"Hey, it's okay, i'm not gonna hurt you" Kaito whispered, trying to reassure the ultimate borrower that he meant no harm.
[shuichi POV]
Oh no oh no oh no. He'd been seen. Shuichi was sure he was one of the nice ones, he'd always seen him try protect the others, but he couldn't be too sure. He couldn't trust a human , even if he doesn't want to hurt him.
Shuichi was speechless, he just stared at him, hoping he'd just leave after a bit. Of course that wasn't the case.
"Please don't be scared, I really don't want to hurt you, I promise." The human broke the uncomfortable silence. Shuichi looked at his feet , trying to hold back his tears, wondering what to do.
[kaito's POV]
Kaito watched as the tiny boy pondered his next move, he hadn't said a word yet. Kaito watched his movements, he hadn't stopped shaking. Finally, he looked back up at Kaito, locking eyes with him.
Kaito smiled, hoping he'd calm down atleast a little bit.
"You're the ultimate borrower right? I'm Kaito!!, Whats your name?" Kaito asked, hoping small talk would get a word or two out of him.
He sat , silent, for a few moments before he opened his mouth to speak.
"... Shuichi." he replied, he was still trembling, but it was progress.
"That's a cute name, what are you doing out so late?" He asked another question, trying to gain his trust little by little.
There was another long pause while Shuichi thought of something to say.
"...It was cold. I'm sorry." Shuichi said, looking back down at the floor . Oh no. Kaito didn't want him to feel bad for,, sitting in a cupboard in the middle of the night?
"You don't have to be sorry!!!! Are you okay? ,, Still cold?" Kaito chuckled, Shuichi didn't take that long to reply this time, just a small nod.
".. Could you come a little closer? Just so I can hear you better,"
Kaito watched as Shuichi's face went pale. Oh no. He just hoped he hadn't scared him with his request. After a few moments, Shuichi stood up and slowly stepped over near Kaito. He was still shaking when he was only a couple inches away from Kaito's face. Shuichi lost all his courage to speak when he could see Kaito at his full size.
"Hi,," Kaito chuckled , Shuichi stepped back a little. Uh oh, Kaito must've spoken too loud.
"Sorry,, are you okay?" Kaito whispered, Shuichi looked like he'd seen a ghost.
"Ah, yeah,," Shuichi twiddled his fingers and looked back at the floor. He was still shaking like a leaf. Suddenly, foot steps got closer. Kaito looked back at the door way and back at Shuichi. Shuichi looked like he was about to cry he was so scared. He made his way back to wherever he stayed quickly. Kaito's face dropped. I guess he'll just have to wait for the next time he sees Shuichi in the middle of his borrowing expeditions.
