see you; baji keisuke [✓]

twenty nine

aiichiro only stayed in her bedroom after taking a shower, not bothered to turn on the lights and curling herself up with her blanket as the scene earlier continues repeating in her mind.

the door swung open as a ray of light shines into her room. baji leaned on the door frame, wearing his valhalla jacket.

"valhalla is having a meeting now, i need to go." he announced before walking to her bed. he kneeled down to kiss her forehead.

as he was about to walk away, a grip on his jacket stopped him making him turn behind. the girl tightened her grip. her boyfriend gave a small smile, letting her hand go from his jacket.

"you wanna go?" he asked her, sitting on the edge of her bed. she looked away. either thinking about whether she should follow him or thinking about what had happened between her and father earlier or maybe just both.

at last she decided to go with him as they reached the ground floor. they walked to the old arcade since baji didn't have his motorbike with him.

"are you sure you don't wanna wear sweatpants? its getting cold and you aren't bringing your jacket along." she nodded, her arm slowly hooking with his as she moves closer to him. her eyes stuck to the pathway.

they continued walking until they finally stood infront of the old arcade, where hanma and kazutora was standing, probably waiting for baji.

aiichiro decided to wait and sit outside since being in there makes her have goosebumps all over and the air inside was very suffocating for her.

a drop of liquid fell onto the ground, followed by more. the girl looks up to the sky but the raindrop fell on her face. she gasp, wiping it off and walking closer to the entrance of the arcade. the rain was suddenly pouring heavily.

"oh noー" she shouts in panicked when a flash of lightning strikes with the loud drum sound. she squats abit, closing her eyes shut and cover her ears, her heart beats rapidly.

soon she quickly grab the handle and pull the door open, going inside as the rain gets progressively heavier. she breathed in and out loudly.

her eyes opened as the view of valhalla members close to her only stare. she yelped, tears about to form in her eyes. she again squats down with her eyes shut closed, covering her ears with her hands.

she continues doing so until she felts a large piece of fabric wrapped around her body. she removes her hands away from her ears as she slowly looks behind.

seeing baji made her calmed down. he grabs her shoulder and guides her to stand up. he brought her to the same row of high chairs that they sat on before and told her to rest there.

the meeting ended as some of the members went home and some scattered around the place in groups and do their own things.

baji turned his head to where she was. the girl was sleeping, her head resting on the counter infront of her. his lips curled up to a smile as he admires the sight his girlfriend sleeping peacefully.

"poor girl getting scared by the thunderstorm." hanma said, having a bit of sympathy.

"atleast she is finally able to sleep well." baji responded as the other male's lips shaped into an 'o'.

"what happened?" hanma got curious and proceeds to ask him, resting his chin on his palm. baji kept quiet for awhile before answering.

"what a busybody.. she went through quite a big problem earlier." he said. about to walk towards his girlfriend to wake her up, his legs stopped moving when his friend said something.
