Toman's Catphrodite (Book 2 of Toman's Black Cat)

Trouble & Chaos

Hanma's POV

He enjoyed causing problems to see others reactions but not necessarily to hurt them. He just thought it was funny if he was purposely offensive to see other get offended so he could laugh at how sensitive they were.

I might do that to this little Aphrodite woman. I won't make her cry, but I might get a kick out of pissing her off.

Hanma rounded the corner to the mall only to see who he knew had to be her and walk right into the door a few feet away. Thankfully, he could scare anyone from laughing at him, but you and Emma hadn't noticed. Slight annoyance that he was both relieved and mad you didn't but he decided to hang back.

He watched as Toman members flocked to you, causing a laughable stir in the mall. Your outfit was definitely something special. Not tight but feminine. A flowy and floral sundress with a light jacket. He laughed to himself seeing you had matched it with sneakers, but it still looked cute.

He kept back, very aware he was being creepy, but if anyone said so, and they wouldn't, he would remind him he isn't being creepy as nicely as possible. He took mental snapshots of every expression you made, each time feeling an overwhelming desire to repeat whatever brought about your bright smile instead of making you angry.

I'm already turning into a simp....

Without realizing it, he lost sight of you. He did a full 360 until he laid eyes on you and some dude he had never seen before leaning in way too close and obviously making you uncomfortable.

Damsel in distress. Perfect.

Hanma waltzed over knowing he was perfectly in the line of sight of the jerk bothering you but completely out of your sight. He stood just close enough behind you to not make you aware of his sudden presence but make it clear he would totally eliminate the presence of the other guy, using various hand signals that would make any grown man cry.

He smirked with satisfaction, but hadn't realized you noticed him already. "Oh, thank you so much! He wouldn't go away and I wasn't sure how to get back to my friends without causing more problems for them!" Hanma couldn't help but smile back at such a sweet but obviously naive smile and comments.

He simply winked. "What else am I supposed to do for such a cutie?" He laughed when you became so shy but still remained polite.

I'll hang around a bit longer with her.

He suddenly came face to face with a very angry Baji, Kazutora, and Chifuyu, but Chifuyu ran passed Hanma, going straight to check on you with such intense concern, he laughed once again. He really loved how you deemed him your savior. The looks of pained gratefulness could be seen from a mile away.

"Can he come with us?"

Hanma smiled sweetly at you.

I'm gonna enjoy this.
