My Yashiro || TeruNene

the true you

nene can't help but think that she hasn't seen how teru handles supernaturals and apparitions.

as his girlfriend, surely she's allowed to see him slay some ghosts right?

"sorry, yashiro-san. our exorcises must be classified at all times. only exorcists can witness the death of those ghosts." he said with a gentle smile and a pat to her head. and she nods understanably while a blush stays on her cheeks.

though she feels a bit devastated she can't see his combat in action, she can just daydream about how he exorcise ghosts!

he must've look so cool..

and he's so gentle too! it's likely he'll leave some sweet words before exorcising them!

unbeknownst to nene, she never thought she'd wanted to take those words.

because of the influence of being hanako's assistant, she can see ghosts, and being able to see ghosts means she's able to see their deaths.

and right now, she's witnessing teru pulling out his sword from its sheath, his look expresses an emotion she had never seen around her.

and he's terrifying.

..is this.. really the teru she knows?

she's scared.

the way his face darkens, his whole ambience changed into something more threatening that made the other apparitions scatter, not wanting to have the same fate as the bigger one teru's facing.

she wonders if this is his true self.

if his gentle side that he showed to her was really just a mask behind all the times they spent together.

nene brought her hands to her mouth, her ruby eyes witnessing teru brutally exorcising the supernatural. she had.. never seen such gore before. the way it screamed, its distorted face and eyes looked at her, begging her to end its misery rather than this agonizing torture.

her knees gave out.

she's trembling.

her pupils contracted.

she's breathing heavily.

minamoto-senpai..

his foot thumping against the pavement fades in.

he's.. he's..

a warm hand engulfs in hers, slowly detaching it away from her ear.

"hi, yashiro-san."

she looked up at him.

"i didn't mean for you to see me this way." his voice unnerved her. he puts on a gentle smile that seems so fake after.. after... "let's walk home, okay?"

this doesn't seem right.

this whole situation doesn't seem right at all.

the fact that he can change personalities in an instant is making her doubt their relationship.

is he really gentle? or cruel?

which is it?

teru helped her get up, his hold around her gentle but firm.

"m.. minamoto-senpai.. you—"

"shh." he interrupts. "it's nothing we can talk about, yashiro-san." nene gulps when he brought her face closer to his.

"i'll help you forget, okay?"

there hasn't been any sightings of supernaturals in the playground since then.
