underground, nagi seishiro ✓

unintentionally, you start laughing.

meguru and you?

a couple?

never!

you get yourself together and look back at seishiro's face, which doesn't look very pleased - you'd probably also be negatively surprised if someone just started laughing.

of course he can't know that you can't stand meguru.

"i'm sorry, but you've got it all wrong. luckily, meguru isn't my boyfriend," you tell him, and he nods, although he doesn't seem entirely convinced.

after all, it looks pretty weird to go out to dinner with a guy you don't like.

"so, and you're still going to a candlelight dinner with him?" he rolls his eyes.

a little irritated, you look him in the eyes, can't understand his behavior and don't know why he's acting like this.

it wouldn't be any of his business anyway so what's the problem?

"theoretically, you're partly to blame for me having to go to dinner with him," you blink at him out of your (e/c) eyes and watch him raise a brow questioningly.

he doesn't need to say anything, his eyes speak for themselves - he wants to know what you mean.

"well, he saw me with you and i don't think he liked it that much. unfortunately, i had to give him something in return so that my dad wouldn't find out about all this."

seishiro nods in understanding, doesn't seem to be a person of many words, but strangely enough, you find that quite pleasant.

it's better to say nothing instead of running his mouth as full as meguru and bragging about everything he already owns at his young age.

the next moment, seishiro is already pulling you along, away from the restaurant and meguru, who will surely be more than just confused and angry when he returns to an empty table.

you don't want to think about the consequences you'll face if you go along with him now, and even more so, you can't allow yourself to be caught with him again since you still don't know how meguru found out where you are.

plus you also can't ask suzume because her phone is turned off.

probably it was taken away from her because meguru couldn't keep his mouth shut with his father.

"let go of me!" you get louder as seishiro doesn't respond to your protests and just pulls you along.

at your tone, he immediately lets go of your hand.

you would have loved to grab it again and feel his warmth, but you skillfully ignore those thoughts.

"i thought you didn't want to be there," he moves away from you to lean against the stone wall of a building. his eyes don't leave yours for a second and like several times before, you're totally lost in his eyes.

it's almost as if only the two of you exist in these moments.

derisively laughing he shakes his head and to be honest - you don't like the way he's treating you today at all.

he wasn't really friendly to you yesterday either, but today is different somehow.

"i can't just disappear now. what is meguru supposed to think when i'm suddenly gone? he's probably already looking for me. i..i just can't leave now," you worry far too much, which seishiro also notices and just nods in response to your words.

apologetically you look at him, but he just returns your look with an emotionless expression that stabs you in the heart. then he just disappears into the next alley and you're smart enough not to follow him.

you would only get lost and put yourself in an awkward situation.

slowly and still thinking of the white haired, you walk back to the restaurant. in front of the door, you can already see the silhouette of meguru, who looks around and his eyes then meet your figure.

immediately he approaches you, stops right in front of you. your head is lowered and you look at his expensive nike shoes, which shine in the light of the street lamps.

you feel two fingers under your chin and in the next moment your head is gently pushed upwards, you swallow as you look into his eyes.

fire is blazing in them and the gentle gesture does not match his stature. he is tense and you can almost see the smoke coming out of his ears.

"where have you been?" he emphasizes every word, his hand grabs your upper arm and pulls you back to his car, where the driver is sitting, probably not expecting you yet.

when he notices you, he quickly gets out to hold the back door open for you.

this time your "date" doesn't help you get in, which on the one hand is only right for you, but on the other hand shows once again that you've totally screwed up.

meguru gets in behind you and sits in the middle, probably to be closer to you. his hand presses the button and a darkened window slides up, separating the front and rear seats so that you're undisturbed.

"did you not hear me or do you enjoy making me angry, y/n?" his voice is so low that it could almost pass for a growl.

normally you would make yourself small now and ask for forgiveness, just like he wants, but this time you change your mind. you're someone with a will of your own, who is allowed to make her own decisions.

that would be nice.

you decide to ignore him and look intently out the window, noticing that he's looking at you. he doesn't say anything for a while, seems to be very surprised by your behavior.

you look up in surprise when the car stops, have actually arrived at your home.

"don't think i didn't notice who you were with, y/n. and don't think there won't be consequences," he whispers in your ear, before you get out of his car again and walk into your house.
