HE DIDN'T REPLY, INSTEAD, HE STARED AT ME DUMBFOUNDEDLY. UNDERSTANDABLE, I WOULD TOO IF SOMEONE JUMPED AT ME FROM THE ROOFTOP.
"Um, hello?" I waved at him to snap him out of his thoughts.
"For what?" Cocking his eyebrows up, he finally found his voice.
"It'll be ten thousand!" I offered. "How does that sound?"
"Hmm...well," He mulled as he looked ahead. "That's quite the money."
"Yes, yes, yes, it is!" I chuckled. "Are you down for it?"
His gaze returned to me. "And what exactly do I have to do?"
"Pretend to be my boyfriend for tonight!"
He blinked. "No."
The strong arms that wrapped around me had disappeared, I fell to the hard ground with an impact and I yelped in pain.
"OUCH!" I shot a glare up at Togame who was smiling at me.
"Sorry brat, I'm flattered that you chose me for a boyfriend but I'm not a boyfriend for rent." He pivoted to his heels and tried walking away.
I leapt to my feet, and grabbed his arm, making him halt. "How about fifty thousand? What do you think?"
He pondered over the sum of money again until his eyes fell on me, this time, it felt like he saw me for the first time. He narrowed his green eyes at me and leaned in close as if he was trying to figure out something.
"Uh..." I slowly tilted myself away from him. "Is there any problem?"
"Have we met before?" He mumbled.
I knew he wouldn't recognize me. Time had changed me too.
I teased. "Have we?"
His eyes widened. "It's Hitler!"
I groaned in annoyance. Out of the nicknames I had earned over the years, he decided to use my least favourite. Well, at least he remembered me even though I no longer wore glasses and put on [colour] eye contact. I had cut my hair shorter to a hush cut and dyed it [colour].
He remembered me. He recognised me.
"I prefer Makochi Princess but thank you very much," I replied in a monotonous tone, eyes boring to the sea.
He laughed but stopped abruptly as if some realisation hit him. "Nah, nope, I'm not looking for trouble."
With that, he walked off.
"What?" I questioned, I looked around my surroundings to see this supposed 'trouble' but only met with unconscious gang members and some townfolks watching us from behind windows.
