I changed into a sleeping vest and so did he.
we got in bed and I couldn't resist. even if he was emotionless most of the time he made me feel something new. that's why I rubbed my leg against his.

as I slid my foot up his leg he moved closer and trapped my thigh between his. I blushed furiously once more, but he didn't.

"I have to tell you something" he said seriously. it wasn't good news.
"the Doctor actually never agreed for me to borrow you" he looked away and I widened my eyes.

that meant one thing: my life was at risk.

I tried to get up but his legs trapped me where I was to make me stay put. I guess he was prepared for that reaction.

"are you an idiot?!" I semi yelled as he glared
"hey! don't dare talking to me like that! I'll find a way to officialise this..." he said but there was no way the Doctor would allow that.

"let me go I have to go back to him!" I cried but his grip was firm. "no way! you will stay with me! I don't care what he will do I won't let him get to you" he harshly pinned me beneath him.

"how did you know about the cold thing if he never told you anything..?" I asked
"I stole some files" he glared "listen, for this project I need you.. no one is better than you in this and you are the only one who saw me.. uh, without clothes you know... you know how my components work!" he blushed.

the thrill of running away from the doctor to work on the Kami-project was undeniable... I accepted just to be with him for longer.

"fine.." I spoke quietly as he sighed and rolled back on his side of the bed

"will we be professional?" I suddenly asked as he turned towards me
"huh? what do you mean?"
"I mean.. no touching, compliments..." I looked down as he glared

"o-ofcourse! you must be professional! where do you think you are?!" he turned away.

I frowned and scooted away so he wouldn't see my expression and drifted to sleep. the next morning he wasn't in bed anymore.

After a while I got up too and he nodded at me, his new way of saying 'morning' I suppose.

we got back on the train but there was also a fatui witch with us. they'd get mad if they knew I call them like that...

they started talking about the plan with some secret code Scaramouche didn't teach me yet and I felt left out. I was usually the one who got involved...

he stayed away from me, didn't offer me his coat and treated everyone around him badly. if this was his work mood, I wasn't sure about this clandestine project at all.

we arrived and some Akademya sages greeted us fondly; Scaramouche because he was going to become a god and me? well, I studied there after all.

I got in and we saw the project they made with this gigantic robot.
"the electro gnosis is necessary, do you have it Balladeer?" A sage asked politely.
"ofcourse I have! I'm not dumb!" he glared at him walking towards the robot.

"give her the files and tell her everything she has to know" Scaramouche pointed towards me as I looked around.

I started working immediately: they gave me a team and we focused on the most important part: implanting the gnosis' power in the robot.

but then a girl with a lab outfit approached me "the Balladeer doesn't want to do any test if you aren't there.. d-don't tell him I told you that, he'll kill me..!" she said shyly as I blushed slightly and nodded while walking to the room in which he was.

"don't touch me with your disgusting hands!" I heard him yell and when I got in he stopped yelling and sighed.
"who called her?!" he spoke angrily "uh no one actually.. I had to bring over some files" I lied.

"s-since you are here do something already! these people are incompetents." he glared "everyone get out, I don't need you anymore" he pointed towards the door

as everyone left he sighed and finally lifted up his shirt exposing the holes on his back the doctor was working on. "get to work" he spoke quietly yet with a hint of demand.

I nodded and started working as he requested without saying a word.

when I was done, I caressed his arm because I knew he was in pain and what I was doing hurt a lot. "we are done, tomorrow I'll give you one last check up but it should be it"

he didn't move. he didn't say anything.
so I kept resting my hand on his arm and waited.

after a while he stood up and put his upper-part clothes on.
"it's time to go out of here" he said as I followed him. we left the hideout and reached a secret place in which fatui could sleep.

we slept in the same bed again but I didn't dare to touch him, and he did the same
