Shapeshifter - Hanma Shuji

Two.

you met up with hanma and you both walked to a nearby cafe. you ordered your favorite drink and he ordered a coffee. before you could bring out your wallet he paid the cashier and walked away.

"hey i was gonna pay" you stated going to hanma.

"It's alright it was only 11 bucks" he said before taking a seat.

it was very quiet until the waiter placed our drinks down on the table.

"so... nice weather we having.." i said trying to start a conversation.

he perked a brow up and said, "you mean the rain?"

i turned around to see the window. it was pouring already and we just got here.

"dang didn't even know" i said looking back at him.

"so where you from?" i asked taking a sip from my drink.

"tokyo" he said picking up his coffee

"why did you move to shibuya?" i questioned

"for work.." he says looking to the side drinking his coffee.

"oh what do you-"

"do you ever stop asking questions?" he said chuckling

"um just trying to start conversation." i said a bit annoyed

"yeah alright let me ask the questions now mkay? ♡" he said winking. "so you single?" he asked

"hah why you trying to ask me out on a date?" i said jokingly.

"haha no." he said looking at me seriously, it a creepy way.

"anyways i'm not dating anyone." i said taking another sip.

"ok." he spoke drinking his coffee. what the hell? what's with the sudden personality change.

"what's with the personality change, did you get offended or something." i said glaring at him.

this is weird. i got a weird chill just looking at him. he is different all of a sudden. he's not normal. a loud rumble from the thunder startled me. hanma sighed and got up.

"i gotta go to work." he spoke before walking out.

"the hell. fucking weirdo." i said getting up and leaving. i left the coffee shop to head home but i was looking around to see where he could've gone but i saw nothing. just a crow cawing.

i got back to my apartment and changed into my pajamas and sat in my bed turning on the tv. i put a show on and just was wondering about tonight. that was so weird. about 10 minutes later i could hear glass shattering and loud screaming from hanma's apartment. it was him screaming but i didn't wanna go check on him. not after that stunt he pulled.

it was the next morning. i was making cereal and listening to the news about more murders from a gang called bonten. "six people dead in a warehouse.." i muttered before calling my parents and doing the daily check up, just the usual how i'm doing it doesn't take long.

after my call with my parents my friend Vee called me. Vee is one of my closest friends, she's really successful cause of her husband. ran haitani. they have been married for about 3 years. they got married when they were 20 since they were dating for 4 years. i thought they rushed things but who knows.

i lazily answered the phone to hear what she had to talk about. "hey" your friend said over the phone.

"what's up?" i asked making a cup of coffee putting her on speaker.

"ran was telling me that you should take some pepper spray or like one of those discrete self defense tools since you have a mad man going around near your neighborhood." she said chuckling at the last part
