The colorful killer (A MANESKIN FF)

Mysterious man

"Ooooh she loves the cocaine, but cocaine don't love her back!" I sing joyfully in the store meanwhile my eyes are wandering around to see will I finally succeed in my mission called: Find the stupid chalk.

A person would think that I am some kind of teacher, and that that's the reason I am trying to find a stupid piece of white chalk. Thankfully, even though my job isn't exactly... How would one call it...? Ordinary.

You know the people that taste wine and get paid for it? I get paid for sniffing chalk and acting like its cocaine.

Nah just joking.

I actually don't have a job currently. Surprisingly, I don't live with my parents. I live with my precious better half - Victoria. You may have heard of her when she won with her bandmates in a popular song contest - Eurovision. Thanks to her, we managed to keep our relationship a secret from the curious eyes of the show business world. Her band is making a new music video for their new song „Supermodel ", and that's the reason why I'm looking for white chalk.

Mentioning white chalk... I think I see it now! Now all I have to do is walk to it and grab it. What could possibly go wrong or unexpected in that action? I see a tall man standing in front of those exact pieces of chalk I must buy, which of course makes my misanthropic senses go a bit wild, but no need to panic. I can do this!

I walk next to him, feeling a bit uneasy, but I manage to utter a quiet "Sorry, may I?". The man that was staring into those chalks, turned his eyes towards me and calmly responded "Oh sure, no problem." And took a step to his left. I grab the white chalk, ready to go, but I sense his stare. I control the urge to roll my eyes and ask out loud "Why do men...", instead, I ask him directly "Sorry sir, but I can't help myself, but notice that you are staring at me and not making it subtle at all. Is there a problem?" It looks like I stopped his train of thoughts, since he stops staring and points his index fingers to each other and points the top of his feet to each other as well, then apologizes "Sorry! I just couldn't pretend to not notice the pin on your denim jacket...". I must say, this is not the reply I expected. "Oh so you were staring at my lesbian pin? What's exactly the reason?". I know I should just ignore the silly man with the puffy jacket and with a heart on his head, but my curiosity was stronger and got the best of me. He probably stared because he is a homophobic privileged straight man.

"I apologize. It was rude of me to stare, but I must ask...You a lesbian???" I try to hold back my cynical laugh. Why would I wear a lesbian pin if I wasn't one? "Yeah I am." I give a simple answer and the moment I start returning to the direction where is the cash register, the unknown man happily exclaims "Girl me too!" then runs like some kind of cartoon character to the opposite side. What the hell was that?

Its understandable to say I am confused, but I shouldn't put my precious time to think about men in puffy jackets saying they are lesbians. I pay for the chalk and walk away from the store. I'm so happy that my building isn't far away. I never learned how to drive.

I open the door and see Victoria on the phone.

"Yeah boss. I'm on it. Five minutes you say? Wow that's fast." She looks at me and continues "Can Y/N come with us? Alright, great! See you." The call ended and my facial expression has got "What just happened?" written all over it. "Amore mio! There is no time for questions! We must get out immediately because the boss will be here to pick us up." She says after giving me the fastest hug ever. "Hold on, what do you mean boss? You're the leader of your band. Aren't you the boss?" I ask confusedly.

"Sweetheart, of course I am the boss... Of my band."

Her answer doesn't help me at all. "But then wh- "

"You will know everything soon enough." She cuts me off.
