The mask that separated us | Chishiya x Reader

Chapter 5 - Cold terrain, warm hands - The first game together

Since the other chapters were very short, I have now written a longer one, have fun 💋

_________

I'll just skim through them all briefly. A guy with a blue shirt and dark blue capy, a guy with a black headband, two girls, one with her hair down, the other with a bun, next to them a slightly older lady with glasses, next to her two men with a suit and tie and next to him a guy with a white hoodie- wait what?

My gaze goes straight back to him, hoping I made a mistake. But no, unfortunately I didn't. There he is, looking down, his white hood on, his hands in his pockets, which reminds me a bit of Elentya, and he seems to be listening to music.

It's Chishiya.

I swallow the lump in my throat, take one of the phones and make my way in a corner where no one will notice me first. I take the black mask from my side pocket of my uniform and quickly put it on. It looks like he hasn't noticed me yet and I don't want him to see my face again. Because he's only done that once so far. Let's hope he doesn't have such a good memory.

I'm so excited. But definitely not in a good way.
I think nervous describes it better.
Although I have played many games, the thrill never fades. And the fact that one of my enemies is here doesn't make it any better. I swallow and try to stay calm. I keep looking at everyone until I notice footsteps.
My eyes wander carefully to the entrance and I notice that someone else has entered the field. She looks very young, short hair, pink shirt over which she is wearing a blue jacket. Or green? Or both? I don't know. The girl seems calm, she also takes a phone and I can hear the woman's voice speaking, like she does at the beginning of every game

"Please wait until the game begins. There are currently ten participants. One minute until the registration closes."

The boy with the blue cap, who I noticed at the beginning, is now carefully approaching the girl, also with a phone in his hands.

"Uhm- excuse me.. Wha- Where did all the people in Tokyo go?"

He seems nervous. Before the girl could say anything, a man comes in with a quick step, wearing cargo pants, a black top, shorn hair and a cold look.
I can't feel my heart for a second as I remember who he is. It's the guy who brought us into the room before our conversation with hatter.
Also someone from The Beach.
Also an enemy.
He also picks up a phone like he knows exactly what he's doing. The boy with cap begins to speak again before being interrupted by a male voice.

"This.. thing here-"

"There's a lot of people here. Maybe one's a doctor."

The boy with the blue cap and the girl turn around to see where the voice is coming from.
I take a little step forward because I'm also curious. Two boys enter the entrance. The one on the left has blonde hair, I can see that it is dyed because the blonde, almost yellow color is fading a bit at the roots. A gray shirt and a dark shirt over it with... I don't know - fish on it? In any case, I couldn't concentrate on it because my eyes automatically went to the boy next to him. Dark, slightly longer and also disheveled hair. A gray zip hoodie and a t-shirt underneath in yellow and white. The two of them walk between the boy with the cap and the girls, and I notice the boy with the dark hair and the girl made eye contact as they passed. Not that it matters, but I can feel how I smile under my mask.

The two of them also take a phone and stare at the screen for a moment. I notice the two of them looking around and I quickly look at my phone to avoid eye contact. After a few moments I look up again and see that the boy with dark hair is looking at Chishiya strangely. So they don't know each other. Then the two are probably trustworthy, they don't belong to The Beach.
