Wanted

"Me? They specifically wanted... me?" I say before laughing, at which Satoru gives me a cold glance causing me to stop.

"Yes, you." He says.

"Okay so... how does this whole 'threat' thing work? Do they announce it or something? I mean I didn't hear anything about it and it was aimed at me."

"It's an anonymous tip made to the organiser of the event, so Jujutsu Tech. This year it was by phone and a private caller, they said they were sending something or someone specifically to kill you." My blood runs cold at his words. Are you kidding? They're sending someone to kill me when I've only just got back from Rome? Okay maybe I made a few cursed enemies back in the day who probably haven't forgotten about me despite my hiatus but damn, that was quick.

"But nothing actually happened so the threat must have been fake right?" I say, wanting to give myself some sense of security.

"That's what I thought. That's why when you disappeared off to the bathroom I thought that something had happened... I thought that-" he begins but I cut him off.

"Okay fine but, surely being near me at the event would have been a more effective means of protection rather than..." I remind myself not to mention Hana so as not to seem jealous. "Being over half way across the room the whole time." I finish.

"Y/n, distance isn't an issue for me, I only needed you in my eyesight, which is why I was so worried when you disappeared."

"Satoru I think you're forgetting something... I am just as powerful as you are, you don't have to worry about me like this." I say as I wave my hand against him nonchalantly.

"But I do need to worry, look at your smashed window, someone could have got into your home and been here for when you got back. Would you have been ready to defend yourself against them?"

"Why wouldn't I? Of course."

"That's the thing, you're not invincible."

"Oh not like you huh? Sorry are my time stopping powers not good enough for you?" I question him sarcastically.

"It's not that, it's just curses are becoming more powerful, soon they too might have the power to use time like you do. And enemy sorcerers might find a way to counter your technique like I can."

"Yeah, yeah, well when that happens let me know, until then, I'm sure I'll be fine." I say getting up but he grabs my hand to pull me back down to the sofa, causing me to yelp in surprise.

"Y/n the threat was acted upon. Your window, the call, this can't all just be one big coincidence. There's a pattern."

"And so what!" I raise my voice.

"And so!" He begins to raise his voice to the same level, but takes a moment to regain his composure "And so, It's not safe for you to be here, please just do what I'm asking and stay at my apartment tonight." Of all possible endings to this evening I did not think that Satoru would be begging me to stay overnight at his place. I look up at him and he has a pleading look of concern and compassion on his face. One that I can't say no to. Plus I was never really considering staying here tonight, what he was saying about me not being ready to protect myself just annoyed the hell out of me.

"Okay." I reply as if I'm torn between staying here or at his tonight. "Just because you asked so nicely" I follow up, flashing him a smile to show that I'm not annoyed, to which he rolls his eyes and smiles back after. I look back towards my bedroom door that is now shut. Come to think of it, how could they even reach the window? With a million questions running through my head I'm guessing a concerned look has spread across my face.
