the killer's bitter-sweet apple

8. His generous hand

Emma woke up this morning choking on her tears.

even tho Bakugo really cheered her up last night, she still couldn't get over the fact she was an orphan. she had nothing for herself : no bitches, no good grades, no cooking nor cleaning skills and no parents. even her crusty dog with a bang and eyes caca left her.

she still got ready, listening to the Wolf Children soundtrack, reassuring herself with the fact that at least she never had sex with a werewolf and her furry kids never left her to die in the forest after she cared for them for years and gave them everything she had after her furry husband died like a loser in a trashcan without a proper burial or even a pretty grave to commemorate his beloved furry face.

anyways.

she arrived late to school, as always, and walked the walk of shame all the way to her assigned seat. at least her ass was looking great, i guess.

an hour went by, her eyes still wet from the thought of her incredible capricorn sun scorpio rising mom that she loved so much. as she was about to break down, she heard something fall on  the ground next to her foot. it was a note from Yagami-kamisama.

'let's meet after school.'

she looked at him and nodded in acceptance, forming a heart with both of her hands.

*after school*

"baka-kun..."

Emma would recognize this voice even if it was drowned in a myriad of other sounds.

"Y-a-aga...m-m-mi-sama !"

she cried as she ran into his welcoming arms. he started to pat her hair like the little dog that she was (hachiko reference). 

"you don't have to talk, i know everything."

he whispered in her ear, his fresh morning breath caressing the tender skin of her ear. he pushed her back gently to take a good look at the boogers in her nose that were now running down her face. she looked like a lost soul. a lone wolf. 

"you have to pick someone to live with, right? you can come live with me. i live alone, and i don't mind having a beta female around."

Emma's eyes widened. she could not believe what she just heard. her heart started pounding, racing, galloping, scampering, running, jumping. Yagami-sama-kamisama was a god, her lord and savior, her salvation and grace. when she needed a hand, he lent her his generous paw.

"h-h-hai... Yag-g-ami...sama..."

"you shall call me by my name, now. it's Light."

"y-y-yes...."

he grabbed her hand and led her to an giant house, all made of silver and big windows. things really could not get better, she thought.

unfortunately, she doesn't know what's to come just yet...
