A Lustful Requiem (Chainsaw Man x OCS)

[16] A Disregarded Recollection

[AN: Himeno time! First pov of the series from her~ we've had a lot of Yoimiya and Tazia, but now we switch over to Yomu's lover.]

...Yomu....Where are you right now?

I was slouched against our countertop by the kitchen. Fubuki was cooking food, and I was waiting for her to get it to me.

"Hah...." I sighed loudly.

Inside me, stirred emotions of frusturation and wanting. Even though it was my fault, I can't act so shameless.

"Nee-san. If you're going to just sit there and do nothing, you should go outside."

...Why? It's not like I can go anywhere. I'm sure Yomu doesn't want to see my face right now, not after what I did to him.

I saw the pain in his eyes. Right before I shut the door.

Responding to Fubuki with a furrowed brow, I didn't say anything.

"...He loves you so much. He really does." Fubuki stated. I met her gaze with a sad feeling.

"...How would you know? You're not the one dating him." I snapped back.

She rolls her eyes in reaction.

"I just met him the other day. He couldn't stop asking about you."

She turned off the stove, carefully plating a scrambled egg on top of some rice. After doing so, she poured a orange sauce over it from a separate pot. Fubuki worked on her share after handing it to me.

"Itadakimasu."

I forcefully ate the food, and swallowed it fast. Even though it tasted good, it felt bitter.

"...Ugh."

I dropped my fork onto the plate, and I just stopped moving.

I wasn't hungover or anything— but it sure as hell felt worse.

Lovesickness? Or loneliness?

"...I just wish he would call. At least after Yomu hung up on me."

For some reason, Fubuki eyed me weirdly. I didn't take notice of it, so I carried on.

BING!

Looking at my phone quickly, I was slightly disappointed to see it wasn't Yomu.

"...Yoimiya..?" I muttered.

YOIMIYA: HEY HEY! COME CHECK OUT OUR PLACE! WE'VE CHANGED OUR OPERATIONS!

...::.....::.....

Changed operations? What did she mean by that?

Well, if she invited me, then maybe I have a reason to visit him.

I think it's time we meet face to face after all this... stuff.

HIMENO: I'M ON MY WAY.

YOIMIYA: :D

I stood up, leaving some food on my plate. I was in uniform already, so I didn't bother changing after my morning patrol.

"If Mom and Dad come home, tell them I'm going to Yomu's. Just lock the doors for me when I leave." I explained to my sister.

"...Yomu's?" Fubuki muttered under her breath. I was too focused on thinking of what I should say, so I ignored her.

I left the house, and I headed down the steps to go to my car.

I think I should apologize first. That's what.

Fubuki stood by the doorway as I pulled out the driveway. Glancing at her, she still had a unusual expression. Waving her goodbye, Fubuki did the same as she mouthed some words.
