I love reading through all your guys' comments btw so keep it up 😭🫶🏼
—————————————

"UNO BITCH!"

"FUCK!"

"It's literally a card game, no need to shout."

Chishiya's comment is met with glares from both me and Kuina. He just doesn't get it.

I stare mournfully at the single card in Kuina's hand, and she raises her middle finger.

"You'll never guess what colour it is!" She declares.

"Damn it." I say through my teeth, though my mind is preoccupied.

After running away from Niragi, I returned immediately to my bed, as per the plan, but now I don't know what I should do. Do I go looking for him? Do I tell my friends what happened?

"What's up, Aika?" Chishiya asks, sensing the vibe is off.

"Nothing." I say, too quickly.

They both set their cards down, and shuffle to sit next to me, leaning against the headboard of the bed. Kuina places a hand on mine.

"Tell us." She implores, looking hopefully into my eyes.

"Oh don't give me those puppy eyes," I scoff, knowing her game.

"You can trust that we'll be here for you." Chishiya says, much to my surprise. I don't know why, but he's always seemed so cold and detached. I guess now, seeing the warmth in his gaze, I have the chance to connect with him more.

"Ok so umm... I kind of, maybe," I hesitate, and Kuina widens her eyes, "kissed someone?"

Kuina recoils in shock, and Chishiya takes on an entertained expression.

"WHAT?!" Kuina yells, so loud that I swear, my eardrum almost bursts.

I shove a finger over her lips, "KUINA SHUT IT."

"WhatwhenwhywherehowWHO??" she garbles against it.

"Oh God." I groan, burying my face in my hands. This is so humiliating. They're just gonna think I'm another one of his fuck buddies... am I just another one of his fuck buddies? I know for sure that I don't want only that.

"So who was it?" Chishiya questions with a smile, pulling my palms off my face.

My cheeks burn so red, I may as well become round and be a tomato.

"I, uhh,"

"Just spit it out." Chishiya says.

"Rip off the plaster!" Kuina bounces up and down excitedly.

"Niragi." I whisper, eyes directed right down at my fidgeting hands in mortification.

There's a following silence which speaks for itself.

"Ok, put the plaster back on."

"CHISHIYA."

"But he's an idiot."

"Ehhhh." I scrunch my face, swaying my head from one side to the other.

"We'll still be here for you, we just don't agree with you." Chishiya adds.

"So what, are you guys like dating now?" Kuina says in awe.

"No! I mean, I don't know, that's not really how it works, right?" I'm so confused right now.

"How would I know? I'm achingly single, and obviously Chishiya is no help either." Kuina rambles, then spots Chishiya's hurt look, "Sorry dude."

"So did you guys..?" Chishiya trails off suggestively.

"NO! Ew no. Just no." I exclaim.

"Hah, virgin." He grins lopsidedly.

"Go use some conditioner, then talk to me." I narrow my eyes.

He scowls, and Kuina giggles.

"I'm surprised you guys didn't notice before anyways." I say, remembering the marks Niragi left on my neck.

I lift my hair, and Kuina gasps in awe.

"Damn, girl, you're down bad."

"Shut up! Am not." I release my hair.

"You should go talk to him though, seriously." Kuina says.

"Maybe later. Oh yeah, also, Last Boss and Niragi both know about our plan. Sorry."

Chishiya gives me an alarmed look, but Kuina just waves a hand.

"Don't worry about it. You got to have your main character moment! They can come with us tonight if they want."

Chishiya starts to speak, but is cut off by the door slamming wide open. A guy wearing a blue cap and t-shirt runs in.

"Aika! Thank goodness you're here, you need to come right away, Niragi's looking for you."

My smile drops with my stomach.

"No thanks."

Kuina's frown burns into my face.

"No, I don't think you understand, he's throwing people in the pool. Aguni had to forcefully remove his gun!" The man hurriedly insists.

"Did he seriously not think to come check my room?" I ask incredulously.

"I told you he's an idiot." Chishiya says smugly.

"GO!" Kuina says, shoving me off the bed, sending a twinge up my leg.

Chishiya had announced to Hatter that I was able to walk again after the card-napping, so no suspicion would be drawn to me.

"Fine. I'm going, I'm going." I sigh heavily.

"I've no clue where the Hell he is now, but your best bet is the Lobby." The guy says, shutting the door as I wave goodbye to Kuina and Chishiya.

"Thank you..."

"It's Tatta," he says with a bright smile, "An sent me, she sends her regards."

"Thanks for getting me, Tatta." I huff tiredly.

"Anytime, but I've gotta go now, catch you later, good luck!" He raises his hand and i high five him, perplexed at the sudden rushing off.

"Bye, Tatta." I say, and he turns and walks down the corridor.

It's like a maze of the same endless corridors. I can see how someone would go mad if they spent too much time here.
