I was sitting at Aoba's work, managing the three brats. I swooped one up in my arms and held him by the seat of his trousers. He protested and squirmed, but I ignored him. Instead, I grabbed a strap hanging off of his clothes and snagged another kid in it, then holding them both by the strap. The boys yelled as I grabbed the girl by the back of her shirt. She screamed and I looked her in the eyes with one of my paralyzing glares. She fell limp under my gaze. I dropped them outside and smiled brightly.
"Have a good day."
I sent them a quick glance, and they gulped and ran off. I stepped back inside. Aoba looked up.
"What did you do?"
I smirked.
"They won't be coming back as long as I'm here. Let's just say that."
He groaned and rolled his eyes. Just then, the bell jingled as the door opened and my gaze turned slightly sadistic. I turned and met the piercing eyes of Noiz. He glared back.
"Well hello."
"Hmh."
Noiz brushed past me and walked straight to Aoba, and I chuckled. I waved to Aoba.
"I've got some quick business to attend to. Have fun!"
I winked at my last couple words, turning Aoba's face red.
"C-Cy!"
But before he could say anything else, I was walking down the street. I hummed to myself, not entirely comfortable with leaving Aoba with Noiz, but hey. I knew Noiz pretty damn well. He isn't gonna screw this over. He TOTALLY likes Aoba. I laugh to myself, letting my thoughts wander. It felt nice not to worry about anything. Oh shit. The worry came back and I ran back to Aoba's place, coil in hand. I saw Noiz dragging Aoba out of the shop and I ran right in between them.
"COME ON AOBA WE HAVE THINGS TO DO LET'S GO!"
I grabbed Aoba's arm and slung him over my shoulder, not slowing.
"H-hey! Cy! What's gotten into you?!"
"No time to explain! Just come ON!"
I sprinted into an alley and set him down. He stumbled and glared up at me.
"What the hell?!"
I looked down at him.
"Aoba."
I leaned down and got inches away from his face.
"Check your coil."
He pulled out his coil and stared.
"A game?"
"Wait what?"
I looked over his shoulder. Sure enough, he was playing a game. I watched for a bit, then when he finished, an invite popped up. Just like the one on my coil.
"I got one just like that. I didn't get a game though."
Aoba shrugged, baffled. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
"Well, you should go."
He looked at me, shocked.
"WHAT?! NO!"
"You need to. I assume your grandmother told you why."
"No.... No she never said anything about this Toue guy."
"No way. Okay. Sit down. This is going to be a long story..."
A good twenty minutes later, Aoba was sitting on the ground, staring into space. I sat next to him, rubbing his forearm.
"Hey. We'll get him. I promise. But that is why you need to go."
"You're coming with me."
"Huh?"
He looked at me, eyes pleading.
"Please Cy....."
I sighed.
"Alright."
He jumped up and hugged me.
"Thank you!"
I blushed lightly and chuckled.
"No problem."
