"Come on, it's just a few more steps."
"Where are you leading me, Uta?"
" You'll see, just stand about here.... And now.." I felt him remove the blindfond and gasped.
We were on the roof of his mask shop, and the cresent moon seemed to be right in front of us, dangling over the city.
"It's really beautiful!" I beamed.
"Yea... Hey take a seat." He motioned to the blankets and such which he had placed on the roof.
Grinning softly, I sat next to him, gently leaning on his chest.
I had something to ask him. Actually several things but for now, one question.
"U-Uta... A-are you scared of anything?"
"Are you joking? Yea." His honesty shocked me a little but not in a bad way.
"I'm scared of getting caught, especially by your brother." He smiled. But it soon faded as he continued in a quieter voice.
"I'm scared of losing people I care for. Whether they be ghouls or not. I'm scared of losing my shop. Honestly sometimes I scare myself...."
My eyes were blurry. I couldn't think twice as I hugged him, not fiercely but reassuringly.
We stayed like that until we were close to falling asleep.
"UTA???" I heard an unfamiliar male voice call out.
Groaning, Uta lifted his head and addressed this voice as Shen.
"Ahh man! I didn't think you were the romantic type! I told Shuu he should've came along with me! His trés bien would've been perfect for this moment!" Shen cheerfully teased.
"Shut up, will ya Shen?" Uta flatly stated.
'From the looks of it Shen must think he's pretty close to Uta..' I smiled to myself, it was nice to meet some of Uta's friends.
"And what's your name sweet stuff?" Shen smiles and he places a hand on his hip.
"O-oh. I'm (Y/n), nice to meet you." I said with a polite smile.
"Dang she's cute, Uta. I can't find anyone nowadays... Never mind that, Uta get my mask fitted! I need to hunt today because the scents tonight are killing me, bro!"
Uta sighed and got up.
As the pair walked down, I followed hearing Uta tell Shen that 1) I was taken and 2) He was not his "bro".

I watched Uta carefully fit the mask onto Shen and add details to the design.
I was in pure awe by his concentration and craftsmenship. I think he caught me staring..Hehe...
After he finished, Shen got up and striked some poses.
"Man! You never fail to amaze do ya?" He beamed.
"Hey (Y/n), Uta, you guys wanna hunt with me? There's something good out! I can smell it!" Shen said happily.
"You can smell it? Your nose has been stuffed for the past 3 days!" Uta pointed out.
"...oh.. That explains a lot.." Shen said sheepishly.
"Well wanna come with my broken nose then?" Shen joked.
At first I was confused but then it hit me. Hunting. For human flesh.
I was about to speak but thankfully, Uta quickly excused us, saying we already ate.
As Shen left happily, Uta immeaditley warned me in a low voice,
"The moment a ghoul smells you we are gonna have a problem."

I leaned in on his chest and said half heartedly,
"Just hope my twins don't find you first."
