Chainsaw Man: Bringing forth war. (Yoru x Denji Reader)

Part 12: 'Wanna head back to my place?'

It's been about a week since then. With everything between you both having been said, there's been no more conflicts between you and Yoru. You haven't even seen her since then, it's just been Asa who follows you around everywhere. Not to say she's annoying, but she never leaves your side once she spots you. Makes you think of what could've been with Reze.

Leaping from rooftop to rooftop, you skip across the city and away from a devil who's flesh you painted across multiple buildings. You retract your chainsaws and grab the bloodied duffel bag that was wrapped around your shoulder, coming to a brief halt and opening it. You look around before changing as quickly as possible with the spare clothes tucked in the bag, before leaving the duffel on that same rooftop and scaling another building. It's not long before you make it back to your apartment.

You take the elevator as always. Choosing the stairs is psychopath behavior.

As soon as the door opens, you're met with some black haired gir-..Asa?

'-? Denji.'

She stands up from the spot where she was seated right beside your apartment door, putting her hands behind her back. She was just..waiting for you?

"Wh-...How long have you been there?"

You step past her and unlock your door. She side steps to get behind you.

'2 hours? 3? For a while.'

"Why?? You could've called m-..oh yeah. Alright."

She doesn't have your number yet. Thats a problem.

Asa follows you into your apartment and closes the door for you, spinning and falling onto your couch as she kicks her feet up. That's completely different body language from her than what you're used to, so you know somethings off.

'''Waiting for him to come home like some needy dog.'''

'You wouldn't understand.'

'''I'm in your head, I understand everything. You're obsessed with the first person to treat you decently. Saddening.'''

'I hate you.'

"503-724-1386."

'Huh!? What?'

Asa's snapped out of her conversation with yoru, taking a second to register what you said.

'503..right.'

She starts entering your number into her phone as you walk past her and open your bedroom door.

"You're staying?"

'Yup!'

That was a pretty enthusiastic response. Again, out of character. Why's she so happy today?

She barges into your room before you can close the door, looking around as she struts over to your bed and falling onto it. You close the door behind her, not all that caring about what she does. You don't fear yoru too much anymore, especially with that talk you had. She really isn't a bad person..kinda..yeah, bad take. Shes still a devil.

"God damn group project."

'We have one?'

'You didn't know?...HAAA! You're fucked! They gave us two weeks for it and the deadlines in two days!"

'WHAT!? NO! WAIT!'

Asa quickly takes her phone out of her pocket but fumbles it between her fingers and drops it to the floor. She tries picking it up, but it slips out of her grasp and falls again.

"..You good-?"

'I'm fine! Perfect! I've actually been doing the group project for the past 3 days!'

'''Liar.'''

'Shut up!'

"Its a GROUP project. How didn't you know? Wheres the people you're working with?"

'..I kept skipping classes so I could hang out with you in the hallway.'

So that's why she's been absolutely everywhere. She's basically stalking you.

"So that's why you're failing biology."

'I was failing biology anyway.'

"HOW!? That shit is easy! It's just animals- oh my god you gotta be impaired somehow dude"

'Hey!'

'''Is he calling you retarded?'''

'Whats it look like?'

'''It looks like you're retarded.'''

'STOP TALKING! LEAVE ME ALONE!!'

You hand Asa's phone back to her and she snatches it, then checking her school notifications.

'..No way..I don't know what the projects on..'

"Copy my work. They don't actually check, they just grade based on how many paragraphs you have."

'Seriously?'

"Take it."

You hand Asa your phone this time, letting her go through it and finding your Gmail. She starts reading up on everything she was supposed to have done already.

'I'll do this tomorrow.'

"Its due the day after."

'Copying won't take that long.'

She hands your phone back to you and you sit on your bed next to her, leaning back with your palms on the sheets.

"Why'd you show up?"

'To hang out? Stupid.'

The evening flies by. 5 pm to 8, 8 to 10, 10 to 12. You don't stay on any topic for too long as the sounds of jokes, sarcasm and laughter fill your room. The TV's off, the lignts are off, the doors closed. It's just you and her. Shes taken note of that, and so has Yoru. Speaking of Yoru, she's been in the back of Asa's mind the entire time, insulting and ridiculing her as usual.

'''You're doing well. This is perfect.'''

'I'm not sticking to your plan.'

'''You already are.'''
