Secrets of a Monster (Kuroshiro x Reader) [SIDE STORY] ||ON HIATUS||

Chapter 7: Please

[Timeskip, Kuroshiro's POV]

"Okay class, I want you all to read pages 888 until the end of the chapter. Kuroshiro, please come with me." Stein adjusted his glasses, looking up at me. I blinked, then looked at (y/n), who laughed. "Go ahead."

I smiled, and nodded, before walking.

As soon as Stein and I got outside, he gave me a serious stare. "I respect your decision of not wanting (y/n) to know... But... I think you need her help with this."

"And why ?"

"Good news and bad. Choose." Stein adjusted his glasses. I sighed. "Bad."

"The pill would paralyze the snake in a limited time-and would harden your black blood around your soul as protection. The snake will be paralyzed to give the black blood time to coat your soul." Stein took out a container, playing with it. "But after the antibiotic wears off, the snake will attack you for more than five minutes. It'll be painful as hell, I suggest painkillers but they would only take half."

"...That's it...?"

"Yes." He smiled. "Now, the good news is, after the pain, the black blood used to coat around your soul would be dissolved. And the snake's attacks in the five minutes plus won't damage your soul."

I sighed in relief. So I just have to deal with pain, then... Good !

"No. I don't need (y/n) here." I smiled. "I can do it on my own."

"What ?!" Stein looked startled. "You're facing this danger alon-"

"I don't want her to know." I said with a smile, a smile that simply said shut up. Stein obliged, giving me the container. "... Good luck. Don't do anything nasty with that, okay ? Take twice a day."

"...So you have black blood...?"

Both of our eyes went wide. We turned sideways, just to see the blue-haired kid.

Blackstar.

Awkward silence. Of all people... Why him ?! He might tell (y/n)...

"She needs to know this..." Blackstar muttered with questioning eyes. I sighed. "Stein, tell (y/n) I was needed in the Death room. Blackstar, we need to talk."

"But-"

"NOW."

[Third Person's POV]

Kuroshiro brought Blackstar to the school's backyard. Everything was silent between them. Blackstar held a look, a look silently asking why he brought him here. And Kuroshiro had his eyes narrowed.

"...Please, don't tell her.." The four-eyed male said to the other one in front of him. Blackstar looked at him, sighing. "Kuroshiro, you need help. You can't handle this alone."

"I want to handle it alone." He sighed. "(y/n) would get scared... And worried. I don't want that to happen..."

Blackstar shook his head. "It's for your own good, Kuroshiro. (y/n) needs t-"

"I'm begging you, don't !" In fear, Kuroshiro knelt down on his knees, tears in his eyes. Blackstar was surprised. He stared down at him, watching him start to sob.

"(y/n)... S-she's my everything, Blackstar.. She doesn't know anything about me ! And letting her know this would bring her to danger... I-if I let her know, she'll get scared and leave... O-or Medusa would go after her..." Kuroshiro sniffled, taking his glasses off and wiping his tears.

"I would do anything to keep her safe ! Just tell me what you'd like-I'll give it ! Just don't tell (y/n) !"

Blackstar only stared. He knew that the right thing is to tell her... Tell you.

But seeing someone; someone always happy as him, to plead and cry just to lie ?

"...You love her, don't you..."

Kuroshiro looked up, and nodded. "...So much..."

Blackstar then held a hand out, smiling.

"Fine. Get your ass up, I'll shut my mouth and help you."
