Secrets of a Monster (Kuroshiro x Reader) [SIDE STORY] ||ON HIATUS||

Chapter 18: Golden eyes

You blinked, and got curious, going over the window and reaching for the orb...

But then you tripped.

You gasped, and fell face-first to the ground, making you groan. "Ow..." You mumbled, raising your head and taking an accidental glance under his bed.

There was a notebook, a white notebook. And again, in curiosity, you took it. You then stood up, dusting yourself.

You opened it, and as you did, pictures fell down. You gasped in panic, and started taking them.

But then, you stopped. You blinked, and took them, staring at each one.

"...It's all..."

Staring at windows, writing notes, drawing pictures, laughing with people, keeping things in the locker, sleeping, listening music through earphones, eating...

"...Me."

You mumbled, taken by surprise. There's even another one where you were celebrating your birthday, and you both were taking crazy pictures. His glasses were tilted over his eyes, his hair was ruffled in what seemed like a cute way as he stared right at the camera with a small wink, his tongue sticking out teasingly. You had your eyes squeezed shut that time, laughing hardly and having fun when he took the picture with you.

You smiled at the memory, and decided to keep the picture, and stare at the other ones. All stolen pictures, in beautiful angles.

"Dooooooweeeeeedoooo~!"

You blinked, hearing Kuroshiro outside. You gasped, and hid the pictures in the notebook again, then slid it back under the bed.

"Doooooooweeeeeeeeeoooo~! Dudududun, dududun~"

Kuroshiro opened the door, his towel wrapped around his waist. He was drying his hair with another towel with the same design, having a wide grin.

"All done !"

You blinked, and stared at him, surprised. He was half naked, only dressed with a towel, and... You were both alone in the same room.

You stared at him in a complete daze, not even blinking. He was still a bit wet from water, but it wasn't that much now.

"...(y/n) !"

Kuroshiro pinched your nose, pulling you back in reality. "Ow !"

He was red, but he grumbled trying so hard to hide it. "You're staring at me for five minutes ! Am I fat ?"

You blinked, and laughed, playfully punching his chest. "Idiot. You're not fat ! Now, get dressed !" You yelled, and left the room. Kuroshiro watched as you closed the door, and sighed in relief.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Classes started, of course. But (y/n) was placed next to Blackstar-so Kuroshiro was placed next to Tsubaki.

"Kuroshiro."

He froze, hearing it. That voice... It's from the orb. The orb in his bag. That voice only him can hear. Kuroshiro grumbled, and sighed, taking the orb out carefully. Tsubaki was busy taking notes, fortunately, so he wasn't seen sneaking it out from his bag.

"What do you want ?!" He whisper-yelled, growling at Medusa's reflection in the orb. "I'm in the middle of class !"

"I don't care." Medusa grinned. "I need you. Now. Leave the school. I don't care how, but leave the school and come to the forbidden part of Death City."

"I-I can't ! Stein's saying important lec--"

"(y/n), are you okay ?"

Kuroshiro's eyes went wide, and turned to where his lovely weapon was seated.

"...I-i... Yeah... I just felt my stomach churn a bit..." You force-smiled at Blackstar. "...It's nothing."

Kuroshiro gulped, and turned to the orb. "...Was it..."

"The snake ? Yes. Now, do you want me to make it worse ?"

Then, Medusa's reflection left. Kuroshiro shook in worry, and frowned. "...Fine..."

He kept the orb, and frowned. "...I have to leave..."

And so, he made an excuse, about feeling a bit not well, and successfully left the classroom. No one in the classroom found it suspicious, but...

"...There's witch essence from that orb..." Kid muttered, his eyebrows furrowed in suspicion.

The orb earlier didn't escape the young reaper's golden eyes.
