Two butterflies

~Y/N POV~

~A few days after the game~

A few days have passed since my last game. I'm wandering in the city, looking for food and water. I finally arrive to a shopping aisle and walk inside a grocery store. Tin cans, crisps, biscuits and bottles are aligned on the different shelves of the room. I grab a shopping basket and start picking some stuff. As I was grabbing a water bottle, I suddently hear footsteps coming from behind one of the shelves. I stop right away, attentive. The footsteps are coming closer. I slowly move one of the tin cans to look behind the shelf. I distinguish a silhouette passing quickly, then nothing. No more footsteps, no more sounds. Complete silence. My heart beats faster. I silently walk to the end of the shelf and take a look behind. Nothing, no one. Weird. Someone is here, I'm sure of it, but I don't know where. My hand carefully makes its way to my pocket and grabs my swiss army knife. Every step I make increases my heart's speed. I explore the next aisle of the store, pointing the blade in front of me. I feel an air flaw passing behind me ; the person is right here. I quickly turn around and aim the blade at them.

Chishiya : Wow.

My body freezes instantly ; it's the guy from the last game. He's standing right there, in front of me. Hands in pockets, he looks relaxed, even though my swiss army knife is placed right under his jaw line. I put it away almost immediatly. Chishiya smirks, he seems amused by every situation he goes through. My heart slows down a bit. Now that I've calmed down, I take a few seconds to analyze him. I notice that he's now wearing some kind of swimming short. He's also not wearing anything under his sweatshirt, and he has sandals. It doesn't make any sense. For the small amount of time I've been with him, I had portrayed him as a serious and smart person. There's something behind that outfit, and I wanna discover what it is. Let's investigate.

Y/N : Nice outfit.

Chishiya chuckles. I continue to walk through the aisle, looking at the different groceries arranged on the shelf. He walks beside me, playful.

Y/N : Unpractical tho.

He shrugs and grabs a water bottle from the shelf. I stop to stare at the different drinks exposed in front of me. He stops too.

Chishiya : I guess so, not like I had a choice tho.

I raise an eyebrow, intrigued. What could possibly prevent him from dressing the way he wants ? Most importantly, who ? A person, an organisation ? I need to get more informations about it. I simply frown at Chishiya, showing him my incomprehension. He smiles a bit more while examining his water bottle.

Chishiya : You know, dress code thing.

Y/N : Dress code ?

Chishiya : Mmh.

He seems completely indifferent. So indifferent that his smile is gone, which makes me even more curious. I let myself go to the conversation.

Y/N : How weird.

Chishiya : Intriguing, isn't it ?

I nod. Chishiya continues to inspect the label of the water bottle.

Y/N : Indeed.

The young man sighs.

Chishiya : But, what can I do about it anyways ? That's what he wants.

Y/N : Who ?

The word slipped out of my mouth. I've been reckless, and now, I realize something. I've been dumb, really dumb. Everything goes as he planned. He has led the conversation since the beginning to that very precise moment. He wanted me to ask that, and I fell for it so easily ! I've let my guard down since we aren't in a game, and I pay the price for it. I feel ashamed of being so stupid.
Chishiya's smile comes back, even brighter than before. His plan has worked perfectly, and he knows it. He raises his head to look at me. My face is impassive to hide my shame, but he can feel it. He knows it.

Chishiya : Don't you think I would be giving you too much infomations ? It'll be a shame to say something that I shouldn't have.

And he's pointing it out, great. I feel a burning ball growing inside my throat. Saying a single word would tear apart my vocal cords, so I choose to stay silent. At least, I won't say anything idiot again. Chishiya examines my features, waiting for a reaction. The playfulness spark in his eyes seems to shine like a star. He still seems a bit disappointed by my silence. Or maybe he had predicted that too.

Chishiya finally chuckles and puts his water bottle inside my shopping basket.

Chishiya : You're quiet again. How boring.

He isn't bored at all, he's actually very entertained by it. His eyes betray him. Chishiya laughs in a sigh while passing behind me.

Chishiya : I thought we had passed that step a while ago. Yeah, I though we were over it since last time, at the end of the game. Weren't we, Y/N ?

His voice just revived the butterfly it had created a few days ago. It's now exploring every corner of my stomach. I clench my fist around the handle of my shopping basket ; I have to stay calm. Chishiya notices it and raises an eyebrow. I start to walk away. He leans on the shelf, blocking the way, a spark of challenge in the eyes.

Chishiya : You wanna know who ? You wanna know where ?

I swallow, perplex. I do wanna know all of that, but the thing is that if I approve, I'm just gonna play along with him. Everything goes as he planned. Do I wanna follow his plans, or do I wanna ruin them ? Those informations could be useful tho. A place with a dress code probably managed by someone, it could be interesting to join some kind of organisation. We could be more efficient.

Chishiya stares at me, waiting for an answer. I nod, but he shakes his head.

Chishiya : That answer doesn't satisfy me, Y/N.

I feel my cheeks warm up. This is so humiliating. Chishiya's eyes are shimering, every little spark of playfulness seems to crave for an answer. One of them goes straight into my stomach, slowly turning into another butterfly. A new one. Again. The two butterflies start to dance and twirl inside my belly ; it's captivating. It's the second time Chishiya gives me a butterfly. I think it should stop as quickly as possible. I give up, tho.

Y/N : Yeah, I wanna know.

I had bring together all the dignity I had left, but it all flew away the moment I started talking. I'm weak. At least, Chishiya's delighted. He moves away from the shelf and comes closer to me.

Chishiya : It'll be better if I just show you.

His hand makes its way to the handle of my shopping basket and takes it from mine. He starts walking away and stops at the door frame of the shop. I remain paralized, caugh short by his actions.

Chishiya : You're coming ?

I quickly join him, trying not to make this more awkward than it is already. I'm really weak.
