Angel(s) in Disguise (MikaYuu)

CH 10

Third person point of view:

   Yuuichiro is on his walk home from Mikaela's place. Though he has never seen Mikaela that morning, except for the other blonde who is a Harry Potter freak. Or a proud bookworm, both would work perfectly fine.

   Now that he thinks about it, he never get the blonde's name. He just goes home without asking him further question after denying the fact that Mikaela and him is dating.

Because hell, he is sure as heck they are not dating at all.

   He will ask for the male's name from  Mikaela later, that is for sure.

   The walk back to his house is... Peaceful. It is weirdly empty for once, not sure why. Probably because it's Saturday. Not that it matters for Yuuichiro, but as long as no one is following him, he couldn't feel safer.

   Arriving to his front door, he grabs his keys to unlock the door. Only to find it unlocked. His heart sinks inside his chest.

   No, it couldn't be. Is that the reason why no one was following him? Because that one person is inside his house at the moment?

   Yuuichiro feels like crying. The raven's hand trembles as he reaches for the door knob and twists it, trying to make little to no noise at all. He swallows the lump in his throat, and he tip toed to the kitchen. Faintly, he can hear muffled noises of people talking in the living room upstairs.

   He couldn't win with more than one person in a fight, and so he reaches for a knife in the drawer. His eyes stings a little, and his nose feels funny.

   Finally, a tear falls from his eyes. He cupped his mouth, not wanting to alert whoever upstairs about his presence.

   Yuuichiro never wants to hurt anyone, nor did he wished for any of this to happen to him. But he has to be ready for everything since all this madness happens.

   "Yuu san? What are you doing with that knife?" A female voice asks from behind him. He jumps a little before turning his head back. As soon as he sees her face, the knife inside his hold drops, colliding with the floor and making a rather loud clanking sound.

   "Yuu san?" The girl asks again, a little weirded out by his action. He fling himself to the girl, his arms wrapping around her petite body.

   "Shinoa..." He croaks out, voice breaking. He has never feel this relieved to see Shinoa. The girl slowly hugs him and pats his back gently.

   "Hey... Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Shinoa asks as she breaks the hug. Yuuichiro stops crying, sniffling and rubbing his wet cheeks with his sleeve. "Nothing." He answers. "Nothing important."

    Shinoa nods and smiles at him gently. "Come on, make yourself presentable again. The others are upstairs in front of the television. I hope you don't mind that we stole some bags of your chips?" She says before blinking at him rapidly, trying to look cute so that Yuuichiro wouldn't get mad at her.

   Yuuichiro snorts. "Yea, whatever." He says, walking to the sink to wash his his tear stained face.

   "Thanks, Yuu san! You are the best!" Shinoa says, hopping around like the hyperactive child she is. Not true, since she is the same age as Yuuichiro. She is just short and childish most of the time. She loves teasing too.

    Yuuichiro smiles to himself. He feels too nervous and scared, he forgot to check the shoe rack. Of course his friends will visit on the weekends, he feels like an idiot for assuming the worst without checking the real situation properly first.

   He walks upstairs alongside Shinoa, soon greeting his group of friends who's just chilling on the couch watching a horror movie while eating his stolen bags of chips.
