Hollow

Arms Tonite

He kissed me.

He kissed me.

He kissed me.

Those were the thoughts the flooded a girl, each time she recalls those memories her face ignite with red and produces smoke.

It's been 4 days since Shizuku received her present from Kiyotaka.

And during those 4 days Shizuku would try her best to avoid Kiyotaka as much as possible, which was almost impossible considering they sleep at the same room and there the only ones left.

But she tried her best.

Each time when it was their free time, she would try to go first or excuse herself to the bathroom trying to avoid him.

He didn't try to question her weird behavior and just tilted his head and went away with his own business. 

But that wouldn't last long.

It was the start of a new week, meaning to say the intensity of their training will now increase.

For every other generation depending on their results, will increase their difficult every 6 months but in the 4th generation it was every month but since there were only 2 students left they've decided to increase every week.

And right now both of these students were just finished their warm ups and now were heading to the training ground and to face their usual hell once again.

Until Shizuku was called out by the boy she wanted to avoid at the moment.

"Shizuku."

His monotoned voice called her, making her stop in her tracks.

She stayed silent as her back facing towards him.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

His voice as usual devoid with emotion by she could have swore she heard a bit of sadness in his voice.

Hearing the hint of emotion was killing her, they've gotten so close for over a year now and during that year Kiyotaka was showing some form of emotion.

Ever since being friends with Shizuku, his trip to the outside of these white walls, his emotions were showing up.

He thought of himself as Hollow, someone devoid of anything but he was wrong.

Just like Shizuku said he was fragile.

He was so fragile, that if you pumped he full of emotions he would fall apart so that's why he decided to hollow himself to survive.

Making him in Shizuku's word The Most Human out of all of them.

In the end of the day he was still Human, no matter how hard you try you can't be truly hollow.

"Ever since your birthday, you've been avoiding me or excusing your self by going to the bathroom and only going to our room once I have fallen asleep."

"Did I do something  wrong?"

This time Shizuku was sure of what she heard, his voice sounding so genuine.

"....... I-"

Before she could even talk a voice, a loud, cold voice called them.

"You two come now."

Turning their head, they both see a man that there all to familiar with.

The Professor, his cold eyes watching over them, his foot slightly tapping hinting that they should hurry up.

Without hesitating both boy and girl followed the man.

Following the man, they noticed that they weren't walking to their usual training grounds but instead going to a different hall that was unavailable to them.
