As you sat on the table, you kept on rubbing the hand Rahan had hit you on harshly while glaring at the male sitting across from you. You definitely underestimated the strength he had —— especially since you knew he resorted to his toy aka the world's sharpest knife but that wasn't the part you were mad about.

You were mad about – how could Arata LET that happen? As far as you knew, Arata never ever left any opportunity - be it just casual or aggressive - gone from the slip of his fingers. He never let anyone place a finger on you or even let anyone verbally abuse you. You knew this having gone through all the ups and downs besides him yourself (downs especially), mainly after experiencing his company when he spotted the bandages after the encounter with Rahan. (Arata had panicked, as if the ground underneath his feet had shrunk and you thought you were going to die due to haemorrhagic shock itself. )

So watching him being so carefree and worry-less definitely made you annoyed. Because that meant he only did those heart warming imposterous deeds so he could get close to you right? Filthy hypocrite. You were so glad you had found a scape goat for your win.

"So [Name] , do you like the pizza here? " Arata asked with a keen smile on his face circling the margins of the glass with the tip of his index finger dreamily while you had just bit into the pizza. The huge string of mozzarella cheeze dripped down your mouth and just when you were about to catch a tissue "No wait. Let me do it for you!" Arata beamed enthusiastically and reached for the white paper going as far as to trying to rub it off.

"No, that's okay. I can do it myself" you declined his offer keeping the aggravation at bay and grabbed the tissue from his hand for yourself .

"Aww I could have helped you with that! It's what friends do you know? Help each other out" he winked and you were eternally going to question yourself how being intimate with a friend who loathes you is 'helping' them out.

Isn't that just trying to piss them off?

Then the realisation hit.

Wait no, this guy was actually trying to SEDUCE YOU.

Your face burnt hot and in the unfortunate situation you made a grave mistake of making eye contact with the brunette male sitting across you , literally burning in a ball of malicious pheromones, his eyes scintillating death.

Yeah, he definitely killed you in all 999 ways known to mankind then and there.

"BUT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO-"

SLAP!

In an instant all of eyes turned to the centre of the cafe , their eyeballs oogling at the teen holding a hand on his cheek. "You... You slapped mmmee? " cried the said male in terror, betrayal screaming on his flushed face.

"No, Isagi. I didn't mean to-"

"Waaaaaah" the male cried and ran into the washroom without giving his significant other (or should you say ex-significant other?) a chance to redeem his actions.

_______

The earlier shitty soap opera scene had given you the golden chance to slip away. Did the other guy really have to slap the guy named Isagi in public ? You should have called the authorities of assault on him for his inconsiderate actions , you muttered under your breath, anger crawling in. Seriously , you never understood how people had the audacity to slap people in public knowing the amount of damage it could do to their self reputation. Did he have no self restraint or what ? Let alone forgiving, you bet the Isagi guy won't even look at him in the eyes from now on.

And that guy definitely deserved it. Selfish inconsiderate buffoon.

You sprinkled the excess water off your hands before looking into the mirror.

No sooner did the thoughts of your own predicament kick in, than you sighed.

But who were you kidding? Your situation at the moment was far worse than theirs. If there was anything, you should call the cops on Rahan for making you go through those hysterical mind-raving things. World's sharpest knife and the two wounds you had suffered were enough evidence for sue to him. You just hoped things would

Just as you were washing your hands few unexpected voices fell over your ears.

"Nghhh....Haa...Ahh...Mhmm...Augh!"

Your jaw dropped. You froze while your face disappeared in all it's colours.

What in the holy fuck were you hearing right now?

______

Without wasting a single nanosecond, you immediately rushed to the source of the sound. You lifted your hand, about to bang but froze right outside the door of the washroom stall.

Was this an appropriate action to do?

Your face burned with the thought of what they or he must be doing, sudden embarrassment & cringe creeping from the deep pit of your stomach.

Maybe you should just leave and let the person or persons behind the bathroom stall be. But at the same time, this was a respected cafe and doing such unholy things , in places where teens visited was highly in appropriate.

You decided to just contact the manager of the place and kick the people out without having to deal with them but guess life for you in this novel was not supposed to be a peaceful one. Because right then, the moans died down and the door lock of the stall clicked in.

HOLY-

You wanted to avert your eyes when "You? "

Your eyes widened and you melted in relief to find the earlier male, Isagi, sobbing his heart out instead of....nevermind. Hash, at least you didn't see that kind of scene in here. ( if you had, you would have ended the whole world and then yourself) but even so his sobbing sounds were pretty...sus.

"Helllp meee" Isagi immediately clung onto you, wrapping his hands around your waist without warning and nudged his flushing face into your chest, before looking up with dreamy eyes.

A very sweet intoxicating yet foul stench lingered in the air making you sick.

God, was he drunk in broad daylight or what? What in the—

Just then the entrance door clicked in "Hey [Name] , you were taking quite a while so I came to check in on y-" Arata gorgonized on the spot, his face paling as he watched the male being so intimate with you.

You aggressively defended. "No! THIS is NOT what it looks like—"

"Heh, you're pretty adorable [Name]. I think I'm already in love..." the male giggled "I'm so so ready to get committed to you~" the male smacked your bum and your soul immediately left your body at the inappropriate gesture.
