07: Oh Well

Yuuki's POV

Several days after the failed capture of Torso and Serpent, also the day after Arima have summoned Haise.

A lot of things happened those days. I've started observing the people :re, again. They caught my attention years ago, even before :re is made, when it was still Anteiku.

I've suspected that the people there are actually ghouls. I can prove it since I installed hidden cameras in that place, but there's still blind spots that the camera cannot reach no matter what, including the meeting room in there. That cameras are burned with the building now.

That's why I ordered Jio to install hidden cameras all over :re, inside and out. Now I can see everything. But they're too cautious about their actions, as if they knew that I'm watching their every move.

I snap out of my trance when the door where I am in opened. It's Haise. Why is he here you ask? Actually, I sneak in his room without permission. I was waiting for him because I want to discuss something important.

I'm sitting in his bed, it's dark so he can't see me. He lean in the wall beside the door and he's looking down so I can't see his face.

Then, he cover his face using his hands "Tch" he clicked his tongue. I wonder what happened. Just then, I heard sobbing.

Wait... is he... crying? But why? Whatever it is, it might have hurt him. Maybe this is not the right time to discuss this matter with him.

He continue sobbing making me play with the hem of my t-shirt. Should I come out and comfort him or should I stay here and watch him bawl his eyes out?

But if I do come out, what would I do to comfort him? I don't even know the reason why he's crying. Maybe it's about Urie? Did he dismiss him as the squad leader? Maybe...

I sigh quietly and slowly walk towards him with a faint blush present in my face. This will be embarrassing, but if it will make him stop crying like a little baby then it's fine.

When I'm finally in front of him, I slowly engulf him in a comforting warm hug "I-It's fine" I stuttered as my blush deepened.

I can feel him tense in my hug for a while but he eventually relaxed. He didn't really noticed me huh? Haise stopped sobbing so I let go of him.

I stare at the ground and fiddle with my fingers "Y-You can make him change, even little by little is fine. You might not be able to convince him now but I believe that with your determination, you can move his heart even a bit" I mumbled but enough for him to hear.

"I know what you feel. I used to feel it when some of my rebellious subordinates would refuse to listen to me. But I didn't stop to pursue them to work with the others that's why we are what we are now. You need to be strong in order to help him" I said then gave him a upwards stare.

We stare at each other for a while. I suddenly became uncomfortable at his gaze so I look away "You don't have to listen to me, it's just my opinion" I said then walk at the door. I turn the doorknob but I was stopped when Haise finally talked.

"Thank you for worrying and also for the advice. I knew you're actually a caring person" my face turn beet red at his complement but for me it sounds like an insult.

I turn to him "S-Shut up! I-It's not like I care for you o-or anything! Baka!" I yelled then rush out of the room.

I heard him chuckling before I go causing me to huff. I walk downstairs and sit in the couch in the living room.

Stupid Haise, why did I even comfort him? I should have jump in his window and didn't interfered.

I cross my arms and pout "Idiot" I mumbled then suddenly someone pinch my cheek "Ow" I said as the person let go of my cheek, I rub it then glare at the culprit, which happened to be Tooru.
