He turned around facing you, "Y/n?! Are you stalking me or what?" He asked angrily. "ME stalking YOU? I only came downstairs because I couldn't sleep! Why are you down here cooking damn- milk ?!" You asked. "I also couldn't sleep you idiot and- uh I-" he lowered his voice and rubbed his back, you rose an eyebrow still confused. "A glass of milk with some honey makes you sleep better- that's what I heard! I'm only trying it out!" he added quickly.

You shook your head and sighed, "Chuuya I couldn't care less if you drink warm milk to sleep better or not, trust me. I'll make myself a tea. It's quite cold down here," you said while rubbing your hands together. It was winter after all, and sadly the heating only worked upstairs, where most rooms were.

You started boiling some hot water and leaned against the sink, your arms crossed and looked at the sleepy Chuuya, "Why couldn't you sleep?" You asked and he replied, "nightmare...". You chuckled, "Funny, me too, mine was about my ability... happens quite often" you added and saw Chuuya staring at you. "What?" you asked.

"I also have nightmares about my ability... really often... I would say everyone has those nightmares as an ability user... But I met a bunch of people with the same gift... or curse. And no one had nightmares. What was your dream about?" He asked while putting the warm milk into a mug and adding some honey.

"Well, it's always about my ability attacking me in some way. At first, there's a figure and when I look at it, it always turns into a mirror. And instead of me, there's... there's some evil me? I know it sounds ridiculous," you said while rubbing the spot where the mirror shatter had pierced through your skin in the dream.

"And it looks really real," you and Chuuya said, at the exact same time. You both looked at each other, your eyes meeting until Chuuya looked away again. "I also have a similar dream. Without a mirror though, I don't know why but there's some kind of demon... or a creature and-... it... it destroys everything and... everyone." Chuuya told you.

"Your ability is really powerful. I can imagine the destruction it's able to do, I mean you could make giant boulders fly and crush them down on people and houses..." you said, imagining how dangerous Chuuya would be if he's started using his power in this way.

"No it's-" Chuuya stared but hesitated, "Yeah," he added. You looked at him, it was obvious that he had more to tell you but didn't want to. "What is he hiding?" You asked yourself, you were more than sure that Chuuya wasn't telling the whole truth, there was something that he didn't tell you yet. The only thing you could do is hope he'll tell you about it once you get closer and maybe even become his friend.

You put the hot water into a mug too and added a teabag. Chuuya walked to you and leaned against the sink next to you, drinking out of the mug. There was a big silence, the only noise was the wind whistling through the windows. "What was your ability again?" Chuuya asked you.

"Are you this forgetful? I already told you that I can produce metal and shape it to my liking, and I can also decide what state the metal is. As an example, liquid or hard.", "just that?" he asked again. "What do you mean JUST that?!" you replied angrily, he sighted and added; "I meant if you're sure this is the only thing you can do" You were even more confused, "Yeah? I mean what else should I be able to do?" you laughed.

You looked back at Chuuya, and there it was... the same expression when he was hesitating to talk and tell you more. You had enough of this mysterious game, it was getting annoying.

"Chuuya."You said, and he turned around looking at you, realizing you were already looking at him. "Yes?" he slowly said. You asked what was wrong with him and why he was acting this way. "Acting how?" he asked. "Chuuya I'm not an idiot, I can see that you're hiding something. There's something you want to tell me about my ability, but you keep holding back... Is something wrong with me dreaming about my ability?", "It's nothing," he replied.

"No, there is something! You said that you also had those dreams and... and you asked if my ability was just that- why would you ask me such a question if there wouldn't be a connection between my dreams and ability?". "I was just asking, is it so suspicious if I'm asking about your ability? I was just curious!" he yelled and looked away again.

"Fine, fine," you said while sipping on your mug, drinking the hot tea, thinking of a way to make him talk. But deep down you knew that he wouldn't tell a secret to a stranger he just met some hours ago. You also wouldn't tell him everything straight away.

He was about to leave, "Chuuya, could you at least do me a favor?" you asked, "Depends," he replied. "Come sleep upstairs, down here it's freezing cold and we don't have any blankets that would keep you warm.", "No way I'm sleeping in the same bed as you," he said. "WHAT?! Of course not you pervert! Just bring the mattress of the couch upstairs and sleep there, jeez." you replied.

"Well sleeping down here would be a pain in the ass, cause it really is cold, but you better not snore while you sleep, I'll kill you if you do," he added, and you replied with a nod while finishing to drink your tea. Then both of you walked back to the living room, each of you grabbed one end of the mattress and walked upstairs, dragging it onto your room, trying to be as quiet as possible. Once you put down the mattress, you walked to a piece of furniture and pulled a thin blanket out of a drawer, and walked to the mattress. "The pillows are in the same drawer," you whispered, and Chuuya grabbed a big soft pillow.

You knelt down on the mattress and started putting the blanket over it, Chuuya threw the pillow on the bed, "Just leave, I can do it myself idiot" he said and also knelt on the mattress. You heard a knock and a voice: "What the actual fuck are you two doing at four fucking in the morning ??" You and Chuuya turned around seeing a sleepy Shirase standing there, rubbing his eyes.

You started laughing, and Shirase shook his head while whispering; "Just shut up already!" Chuuya pressed his hand over your mouth annoyedly, which only made you laugh harder, almost not being able to breathe. Chuuya looked at Shirase and asked; "What's wrong with this idiot??", "I have no clue... Just, make sure she's quiet, I'll go back to sleep." Shirase answered while shaking his head and leaving your room, and closing the door after him.

You tried pulling away Chuuya's hand since you had stopped laughing, but he didn't want to let go, he was probably thinking you'd only start laughing again. "Shuuhhaa net gmhe ghohh" You tried to say, telling him to let go of you. It almost sounded like a muffled laugh.

You sighed and licked his palm, which was the only way he'd let go"Y/N! Have you lost your mind you disgusting idiot?!" he said while rubbing his hand on the mattress, trying to get your saliva off. "I told you to let go," you said rolling your eyes. "Go sleep now and leave me alone you gross idiot, and don't be so damn loud," he said while laying down, purposely stretching his leg and pushing you off the mattress. You got up and walked to your bed, laying down and covering yourself with a blanket.

"Good night shorty, sleep well," you said and turned on the other side, facing the wall. "Night Idiot" was the only thing Chuuya said, before falling asleep. And a couple of minutes later you also fell asleep with a smile on your lips. Your last thought was: "It would be fun if I'd start snoring."
