I finished the mission I was sent on and saw a cafe on the corner of the street a few blocks down. Feeling like I was being watched I look behind me to be met with a bike rider heading my way. I jump out of the way just in time. "Sorry! Watch it next time okay!" The bike rider yells over his shoulder as he disappears into the evening crowd.
Deciding to get a coffee and snack I enter the cafe. The bell on the door chimes joyfully welcoming me into the cozy cafe. The cafe was painted mint with dark oak wood that went halfway up the wall. The floor red terracotta tiles. The tables are dark oak and chairs mint painted wood. I take a seat and look at the menu.
Deciding on a latte and kikufuku mochi I wave a waitress over and order. I get a chill all the way down my toes. The side of my face that's facing the window itches as if someone was staring at me from the outside. I glance to look out the window to see a man with white hair and a blindfold over his eyes. He's adorned in a jujutsu sorcerer's uniform. I'm wearing my uniform as I've just come back from a mission.
I smile and nod looking back at my food to see it gone except for the latte. Oddly enough I don't really feel surprised just angry that someone dared take my kikufuku mochi. I sigh and finish my latte. setting it down I put 25 on the table waving at the waitress and bidding her goodbye. I walk out of the warm cozy cafe into the cooler October evening.
I start to make my way home. An uneasy feeling sinking into the pit of my stomach. A paranoid itch looms and creeps in the back of my mind making me a little light-headed. Sweat starting to form over my body. I start to walk faster as these feelings start to take over. My hand twitching to form a shield.
My anxiety starts to take over as I feel a panic attack edging closer to the surface. My breathing becomes staggered. After a few blocks, I start to calm until I hear footsteps mimicking mine. I notice I passed my house already since I was too focused on my breathing and surroundings.
"You passed your house already, love~"
I freeze. Clenching my fists I turn around slowly. Only to be pushed against the chain-link fence. Meeting the stalker face to face I recognize him immediately. He's the man from the cafe. He chuckles holding up a bag of kikufuku mochi.
"I thought we could share~"
I stare at him blankly trying to bring a name to match this man.
... ...
"Gojo Satoru."
"Yes?"
"Why are you following me? Also, not to accuse you but did you take my mochi from the cafe? I'm just curious."
I ask and he leans closer to the point where our noses are touching.
"What if I did? Also, I'm just making sure you get home safely considering you walked right past your house."
I can feel my heart begin to pound violently against my chest. I wasn't buying it.
"What's your motive?"
Silence is followed. A smirk appearing on his perfect face. He tilts his head as he moves his hand to caress my face. He sighs as his thumb grazes over my bottom lip. I reach up and lift up one side of his blindfold. Revealing one of his ocean blue eyes. His eyes are trained on my lips but he looks up through his lashes.
