"Why do you have blood stains on your shirt?" You asked as you held the knife tighter.
'I can't let her know the truth..' The man thought, he was caught off guard by your question. He glanced down at his blood-stained tuxedo, knowing he had to think quickly. "Oh, this?" he said, forcing a smile. "I was at a charity event, and there was an accident with one of the servers. A tray of wine glasses shattered, and I tried to help. It was quite a mess." He chuckled nervously, hoping his explanation sounded plausible despite the excessive amount of "wine" on his tuxedo.
You decided to stay silent, your eyes narrowing as you processed his explanation. You decided to put the knife down the countersink and sighed. The two of you just stared at each other, the weight of unspoken truths hanging heavily in the air.
After a few moments.. he decided to spoke up- not wanting to fill the kitchen with silence. "Why are you here at my house anyways?"
You stayed silent for a bit and thought of an answer, but you decided to tell the truth. "I.. I ran away.." you responded with a soft-low tone. The man sighed and scanned you from head to toe. The man decided to let it slide for now
"Mind telling me your name?" He asked.
You weren't sure if you should trust this imbecile. But you decided to respond so the two of you get to know each other.
"I'm Y/N L/N" you simply responded. The man just stared down at you and sighed, he forced a small smile and extended his arm to hand-shake with you.
"I'm Rin Itoshi"
"Nice to meet you, Rin"
The two of you shook hands, and an electric wave seemed to surge through their veins. It was a feeling that shook you two deeply, a connection that both of you felt instantly. You quickly pulled away and felt the awkwardness settling between you.
Rin made a small fake cough and buried his hands through his pockets.
"So.. you told me you ran away earlier" he said. Y/N felt guilt and regret wash over her, and you dropped your head, unable to answer. Rin knew he should respect your boundaries, so he just let it slide.
"Okay, I won't ask it again"
The kitchen was filled with silence again. Rin made a long sigh and rubbed the bridge of his nose
"So.. what are you going to do now? Stay over the night or leave?" He asked, he wasn't even sure if he should trust you. But seems like you ran away for a reason
"I'll.. I'll leave if you want-" you were just about to leave the kitchen until Rin blocked your way, his muscular physique and tall figure towered over you- staring at you with a cold and serious look on his face. His teal eyes locked onto yours, as if he could see through your reasons for running away. With the darkness settling outside, he said firmly, "I'll let you stay. You can leave whenever you want, but for now, it's better if you stay."
Y/N gulped hard and stared into Rin's teal eyes, feeling chills down her spine. The strong scent of his cologne filled her senses, making her even more aware of his presence.

Rin prepared the mattress and fixed the blankets and pillows. He decided to give you some of his shirts and knee-length shorts, his clothes seemed to be too big for your size.
You finished changing your clothes and went to the bedroom, but you thought about.. Rin, where will he sleep then?
...
"Hey, where are you going to sleep?" You asked curiously, Rin turned around to face you with a blank and nonchalant look on his face
"In the couch"
Eh?..
Ain't no way you'll just let him sleep jn the couch when he owns the whole bedroom and the cabin. You sighed and rubbed your forehead and placed you both hands onto your waist
"No.. I think I should sleep on the couch" you simply responded. Rin sighed, he walked towards you and looked straight onto your gaze, his tall and big figure towering over you again, he looked so chill and calm at the same time
"No, I want you to relax. Plus it's cold" he simply responded. You were just about to respond but he shushed you, you didn't want him to get cold either.
"No, don't worry about me. I'll be fine, princess" he looked away and headed outside then closed the door- leaving you all alone inside his bedroom.
Princess..
...
Princess.
Oh to be called 'princess', Y/N felt something odd inside her after being called 'princess,' a strange flutter she couldn't quite place. Despite the warmth in his voice, she reminded herself to be cautious; after all, they had just met earlier that day.
[The next morning]
"You're with what!?" Shidou asked and accidentally spitted his coffee from his mouth. Rin sighed and faintly rolled his eyes, he knew he should've just kicked you out instead
"She told me she ran away.. from their home, I guess"
"But still! She saw the 'wine' stain from your shirt, bitch-" Shidou rolled his eyes at his friend and took another sip from his coffee. Rin just sighed again, but luckily he easily made it through
Shidou stared at Rin, still shocked from the event as he processed the information. "So you'll just let that Y/N girl stay at your place?"
Rin, lounging in his seat with an air of nonchalance, shrugged. "Yeah. It's no big deal after all."
"But what if she finds out you're an assassin?" Shidou pressed. "She could call the police or worse."
Rin's expression remained calm. "I'll handle it, don't worry."
"Ah, just.. don't put too much trust on that girl, alright? I'm.. I'm just- concerned" Shidou advised.
Rin didn't seem to care or bother to listen to Shidou's concern and advice. He hadn't even considered the consequences of letting Y/N stay in his house the previous night.

You just woke up from your sleep and found outside the window it was raining, but it doesn't really matter. You looked around for a bit and rub your eyes before sitting up, you wonder where Rin was, he's probably cooking outside
You got up to bed and fixed the sheets before heading outside, you saw no one. And outside.. his car wasn't there. Maybe he has work today or something.
You decided to go to the kitchen and saw a cooked steak and a bowl of egg fried rice placed down the table.
"Did he.. prepared me some breakfast before he left?" You asked yourself before approaching the food and found a note
"Good morning, princess. I prepared some steak and egg fried rice for you once you wake up, I'm a little bit husy right now and I'll be late tonight, I left something to cook in the fridge if you're hungry later"
You sighed, you placed the note down and decided to dig in and ate your food. 'He seems.. nice and kind, I guess' you thought. Plus, his cooking was delicious, making her feel even more grateful for his hospitality
