Watching

I sighed. I should never have let her drink. This girl is such a lightweight. Well, now I'm here...dragging her ass home while she acts like a complete child.

'Zuzu *hic* y'know what!? I can *hic* see words!' she said. 'Like *hic* when that jerk *hic* Heizou thinks! They appear! Like POOOF!'

She imitated a small poof gesture with her hands.

'Uhuh.' I said, nodding while she did whatever loopy stuff she did when drunk. 'I totally believe you.'

'You're just jealous you can't see words as I can!' she huffed, crossing her arms dramatically

'(Y/n) I want you to be honest with me...how much did you drink?' I asked her sternly

'Uh...I forgot.' she said, scratching her head. 'It wasn't *hic* that bad!'

'I'm never letting you drink ever again.' I said, reprimanding her

'Noooo! *hic* Kazuuuu!' she whined

???'s POV

I watched two youngsters walking home. One seemed to be extremely drunk, while the other seemed to be completely fine. Tch what a nuiscance. They are always so loud.

'C'mon Kazuuuuu *hic* I'm sooorrrryyyy!' the girl yelled at her friend as she scrambled after him.

'(Y/n) shh! You'll wake everyone.' the boy responded calmly but sternly to her

I froze...wait...those names, why do they sound so familiar? Kazuha...(Y/n)...why do I know those names? Could they be...no? The image in my head was blurry. Every time I tried to remember, my head hurt. I can't help but feel like a whole part of my memory has been wiped or sealed away. I feel like I was living a whole different life, or I was a completely different person before the accident.

"Big brother! Big brother! (Y/n) got into a fight again!"

"I had to fight them! I-It wasn't my fault!"

I remembered a faint voice of a young boy and a young girl. No matter how hard I tried...I could never clearly make out their faces.

'Boy! What's taking you so long? Hurry up!' a voice yelled at me

It was an older man's voice...also known as my boss Pierro. The right hand man of the Fatui leader. I noticed the girl turn around, so I hid behind the wall before she could make out my face.

(Y/n)'s POV

W-was there a person there just now? I swear I saw someone.

'Psst Kazu...I...I think we might be being watched right now.'  whispered

'I'm not going to fall for that (n/n). You're probably hallucinating. No one i-'

'No!' I tapped his shoulder. 'Look!'

He didn't turn

'Kazu!' I whispered shouted. 'Look! Over there!'

'Fine!' he said and turned. 'And what am I looking at exactly?'

'W-What don't you see-' I turned to where I saw the men, but all I saw was an empty dark alley.

'You're hallucinating (Y/n)...you need to go home. You have work tomorrow,' Kazuha said

But I swear I saw someone! I'm not hallucinating. Sure I drank a bunch, but...why did that guy look so familiar. I sighed as Kazuha dropped me home.

'I've put some tea on the counter if you need any, and if you fall down in the tub...again. Call Kokomi. If you need anything else, call me, ok? Also, you will probably have a terrible hangover tomorrow, so I've left painkillers if you need them, ok?' Kazuha lectured me

'Yeah yeah, whatever...I'm not a child.' I muttered

'You sure do act like one.' he said, chuckling

'Oh, shut up!' I huffed

'Goodnight (n/n).' he began. 'Dont fall into the tub! Byeeeee!'

'KAZUHA!' I yelled as he smirked at me.

I shook my head, chuckling. Sometimes he'd act like Tomo. I mean, Tomo was his brother, so it would be natural. I sat on the edge of my bed, where there was a picture of the three of us. As a kid, we took loads of pictures, and Tomo was in each and every one of them until he...wasn't anymore. I stared at the pictures and noticed that as the years went by, Tomo's face looked more distracted each time. His eyes had this distant look. I remember the day he went missing like it was yesterday.

***Flashback***

I was walking home after a long day at school. We had just gotten our final results, and as usual, I got a perfect score, but unfortunately...Heizou did too. I could hear his annoying voice in my head.

"Oh look (Y/n), I got a perfect score too...no need to celebrate...you haven't beat me."

If I had one mora for every time I wanted to punch his stupid smug face, I'd be a millionaire. I was so engrossed in my thought that I bumped into someone.

'Sorry.' I said

I looked up to see Tomo. He seemed distracted, as if he'd just seen a ghost.

'Tomo?' I asked

He snapped out of his thought.

'O-oh hey (Y/n). Sorry about bumping into ya like that.'

'Tomo, are you ok? You look like you've just seen a ghost.' I said

'Huh? Oh, it's nothing (N/n). I'm completely fine.' he said, ruffling my hair

'But-'

'I'm fine. Don't worry.'

He smiled, and his phone rang. He checked it, and his face visibly changed

'Excuse me (n/n). I have to take this.'

He walked away, but as he walked away, I could make out some of his conversations.

'I said this was the last time I would do this! No! Thi-'

He noticed me looking and walked away faster.

(the next day...)

Kazuha and I walked home from school, and when we reached his house, we found the door hanging open. Kazuha and Tomo lived alone since their parents passed away early on.

'Tomo?' Kazuha asked.

There was no answer. We looked at each other with unease.

'Tomo!' I yelled 'Where are you?'

No answer.

'Maybe he's still at work?' Kazuha said but it was more to himself than it was to me

'Yeah. I'll wait here with you if you want?'

'Sure.'

We waited but he never came back. Hours went by...days...weeks...Tomo just vanished. My parents tried to help but they weren't able to do much either. Kazuha was then adopted by our next door neighbours, Beidou and Ningguang. I never belived the police's verdict. Tomo is alive.

***Flashback***

Kazuha was broken but he never showed it. He kept telling everyone he was fine but he wasn't. He tried lying to himself over and over again. But I knew this was hard for him.

Heizou's POV

I couldn't sleep. No matter how much I tried I couldn't sleep. She kept showing up in my mind.

'Ugh I have to stop thinking about (Y/n)!' I muttered to myself

Work! That'll do it! I'll distract myself with work! I took some of the photos out of the case file and went over them. Then I noticed a pattern. There was always one guy in each picture. One man. His image was a bit blur maybe I can get a clearer image tomorrow and get (Y/n)'s opinion on it too.
