Secrets of a Monster (Kuroshiro x Reader) [SIDE STORY] ||ON HIATUS||

Chapter 20: A Pair of Dice

"Impossible."

Kid thought, and grumbled.

"Why am I thinking of such things ? Kuroshiro is kind--Kuroshiro is the best meister in this school, alongside me and the gang. How could I think of him being a traitor ?"

He sighed, deciding to shrug the mere male's sleeptalk. He then brought him back to the school, where you and the others were waiting.

"Kid ! Where the hell did you go ? You suddenly ran off !" Liz said in what seemed like a scolding tone. You stared at him, but... Not literally at him. You were staring at the male he has behind him... Sleeping with pain placed in his face--the face that was obviously paler than usual.

Kid sighed, and brushed passed her. "I'll explain later. He lost lots of blood, we have to get him to Stein !"

"What happened ?!"

You ran after him, obviously. Hours ago, Kuroshiro was fine... Or did something wrong miss your sight ?

"I'll explain later !"

Kid said in a hurried tone, and ran to the infirmary.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"He's fine. He just needs rest."

Stein stated with a smile, twisting the screw in his head. You sighed in relief, nodding. "Thank you, Professor..."

"Well then." Kid shrugged. "If it's all done, then we're heading home now. Are you sure you can watch over him ?"

"Yeah. I can stay too if you like." Blackstar grinned. "You'd be honored to take care of him with a god like me !"

You made a stiffled laugh, and shook your head. "I'll be fine. You both can go home now. It's getting dark."

Blackstar shrugged. "Fine then, (y/n). But if you need help, call me ! I'm strong enough to-"

"Alright alright. Goodbye (y/n)." Kid grumbled, and grabbed the bluenette's collar, and dragged him outside.

You sighed, and placed your head beside Kuroshiro, who was sleeping peacefully. You took his hand, and stared at his face for a nice bit. His eyes were peacefully closed, his hair a bit messed from all the movements he did this day. His lips were gently pressed against each other, and his chest was rising and falling calmly.

You smiled slightly, watching him sleep. But then, you heard a sigh. You blinked, and noticed Stein, staring at your meister with a... Pitiful glance. It was as if he was thinking of something really pitiful as he stared...

"...Is something wrong ?" You asked, confused. Stein blinked, pulled out from his train of thoughts. "...Oh... Nothing..." He smiled at you. "I just like how he slept so calmly. Well, I should leave you two alone. If something happens, I'm in my classroom."

"Alright..." You shrugged, and went back to watching your meister sleep.

Stein sighed as he left, and frowned, closing the door.

"...If only she knew..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Kid almost caught you."

Kuro's words made the young male stiffen. Trying to hide it, Kuroshiro adjusted his glasses and fixed his sitting position on his chair. "...Define almost."

"He caught you with the orb. So he went after you. But he didn't see Medusa." Kuro laughed, playing with a pair of dice. "He didn't choose to believe the obvious truth. Why ?"

"Why ?"

"He trusts you."

Kuroshiro sighed, watching the dice in the angel's hand. Kuro laughed. "See, Kuroshiro. This pair of dice I'm holding can state how many more days you have until you give your body up on me."

And with that, she rolled the dice, and grinned.

Twelve.

"Rubbish." Kuroshiro rolled his eyes, standing up. "A pair of dice can't say my future, Kuro. Don't be so sure."

Kuro made a loud laugh, and watched him as he went to the door.

"July 22nd, 20**. And I'll be reborn."

And with that, Kuroshiro left the room.

He slowly opened his eyes, still feeling drowsy from the long sleep he had. It was morning when he passed out... How long was he sleeping ?

He was about to place his hand on his head for an attempt to ease down the faint headache he was feeling, but he felt weight on his hand. Confused, he turned his head to it, and smiled slightly.

"...(y/n)..."

You were sleeping with your head next to him, hands holding his. Breathing calmly, holding his hand gently.

Kuroshiro stared, and made a small laugh, deciding to lay still so his movements won't wake you up.

"Sweet dreams, (y/n)..."
