You blink at the light blue ticket in your hand. Nami takes it from you and waves at someone on the other side of the hall.
«Oi, Killer!!»
The blond man, who's talking to Kid near the drinking table, turns towards you. The perfect reproduction of Leatherface mask completely covers his face (he has probably the scariest costume in the room), but you can tell he's shifting his glance from Nami to you.
You bite your inner cheek. It's hard to tell how you feel now, he's quite an acquaintance since he's your ex's best friend and you used to hang out together a lot. But since you broke up with Kid, he kinda disappeared from your life, although he lives in your same complex.
Killer slowly walks in your direction.
«So it's you, Y/n.»
You offer him a sheepish smile.
«Apparently.»
He's a man with a very firm personality, but he's also far too polite to show any annoyance for the game, and Nami knows that. So she just drives you both in the closet.
Once the door is closed and the light faded, you both stand awkwardly in front of each other.
«So, hum, how's life?»
«Usual. What about you?»
«I'm okay.»
You start to relax, leaning against the wall. Maybe it was a lucky shot, picking Killer. He's collected and wouldn't do anything to embarrass you, plus the man seems totally uninterested in the game.
«Are you still doing a good job baby-sitting the Kid?»
He chuckles at your easy pun.
«At least now it's just him, not the two of you, this makes things far more easy.»
«What?!» you fake an offended pout «How can you say that? I'm not high-maintenance!»
He shrugs.
«Maybe just a little bit?»
«Pff, fine. But Kid is higher-maintenance than me!»
«Can't say no to that.»
You smile, bringing a hand in your hair.
«I've always wondered how you two could hang out so well. Complementarity, I guess.»
«Well, we also have a lot of interests in common.»
«Sure, like engines and stuff to build.»
«Yeah, but not only that.»
You shot a doubtful glare at him, but immediately move your eyes away.
«God, that mask is scary! Especially in the dark. Nice outfit, by the way.»
Killer giggles.
«Thanks, Kid actually helped me out with it. I can say the same for yours, anyway.»
You wave a hand in front of him.
«Of course you have to compliment Perona for that!»
«I have a single criticism.»
Your eyebrows lift.
«Oh, really? And what would that be?»
«Banshee are supposed to be scary, not hot.»
The casual comment catches you by surprised, and you cannot quite reply.
Sure, Killer has always been polite to you, maybe also protective while you were Kid's girlfriend, but he never expressed any kind of interest for you.
