"Atsumu, let me out, I have to use the bathroom!"

Do you really have to use the bathroom?

No.

You just want to see if he'll actually let you out.

You've been in the room for a few hours now, and you're starting to become beyond restless. You've had time to think everything over, like Atsumu said. You've calmed down, and now you're ready to talk.

Of course, you still think that this whole situation is beyond batshit crazy, but there's nothing you can do about that. You've accepted the fact that Atsumu might be a little off his rockers, and that every aspect of your relationship is a lie.

It's fine, whatever. Yeah, you'll probably cry about how much your life sucks later, but as of right now, you have bigger issues to handle.

As of right now, you need to figure out how to get Atsumu to let you leave unharmed.

You know that Atsumu is smart. He has to be. There's no way that someone could mess around with computers like he does without being a tiny bit of a genius. He's also manipulative as hell, which is a whole other issue to deal with.

All you need to do is out manipulate the manipulator.

Hopefully, he won't even notice that you're lying when you promise to stay with him.

Love makes you crazy and blind from what you've seen.

You just have to pretend to be okay with the circumstances for a few more hours, maybe days if that's what it takes, and then you can leave.

Easy.

Maybe.

You back away from the door when you hear footsteps coming. You lean back against the wall when Atsumu unlocks the door and peaks in.

He looks around the room for a second to make sure that you didn't mess anything up, probably the thousands of dollars' worth of computers in the corner. He then looks you up and down to make sure that you haven't magically created a weapon to hurt him with.

Pleased with the outcomes, he asks sweetly, "Have ya thought things over yet? Ya ready to talk to me?"

You nod innocently, "Yeah, I am. I'm sorry for how I acted earlier. I was just surprised."

You can't tell if he believes your apology, because that blank stare is back on his face. You don't know what to think of that stare. It only comes out occasionally, and it doesn't stay long when it does.

You don't know what it means, but it scares you a little bit. For someone who is so open about his emotions, the times he isn't is off-putting. It's impossible to read him when it happens.

Just as soon as it appeared, it disappears, just like you predicted that it would. He smiles down at you softly, "It's okay, baby. Ya don't have to apologize. I know I scared ya. I'm sorry, too."

This is what confuses you most. He seems so sincere when he apologizes to you. He seemed genuinely hurt when you yelled at him earlier too. He's supposed to be a freaky stalker, but it's hard to think of him like that when he looks so vulnerable.

He's always worn his heart on his sleeve, and you don't know why he'd stop doing that now. You just expected something different. As soon as you found everything out, you expected him to be some scary guy that would turn on you in an instant. A guy that would throw away his love for you and exchange it for hatred if you denied him.
