THE PRINCESS OF BURN KNUCKLE | VASCO (LOOKISM) x READER

Part 9

It's been a week since Vasco saved you from CL, but after that, he really didn't talk to you much. You have tried to explain what was going on with Daniel to him, but he just won't believe you. What make things worse is Daniel's persistence. You, yourself really don't understand why Daniel desperately wants to become close to you.

"Thank you, please come again," you said to a customer. You waited patiently for your shift to end before you glance down at your watch. "Huh, Little Daniel sure is late today."

While waiting for Daniel, your thoughts went back to Vasco. Even though he seemed angry, he's still willing to help you out. Suddenly, you remember what happened to you at school yesterday.

While you were on cleaning duties in the hallway, someone suddenly stepped on your broom. It was a boy who was trying to mess with you and before he could do anything, Vasco miraculously appeared out of nowhere and saved you, again. The boy was scared shitless and he ran away immediately upon seeing Vasco. The funny yet weird thing is after that happened, Vasco just walked away, leaving you there before you had a chance to say anything.

'Well I guess he's still mad at me for whatever reason. I don't know why he hates Daniel so much though' you thought while getting ready to end your shift.

Suddenly, the door slammed open and there stood Little Daniel, out of breath with a thin layer of sweat visible along the skin of his body. "I'm.. I'm sorry. I had something to take care of just now" Daniel said, panting.

"Nah, it's okay. Catch your breath first, Daniel," you chuckled, looking at Daniel.

Once Daniel's breathing went back to normal, he started to take his books out from his bag. Seeing you still standing beside him makes him turns his head towards you in surprise. "You're not going home yet?"

"I have something to ask you." You look straight into Daniel's eyes. "It's about your friend, Daniel, the tall Daniel."

"Eh? What's wrong with him?" Little Daniel asked without looking at you.

"I'm just wondering if he ever tells you about anything that happens at school. Things like who's his friend, which person he dislikes the most, did he ever get involved in fights, and so on."

"Not really," Daniel muttered, still not looking at you. "But.." he stopped for a while.

"But?" you questioned, raising a brow towards him.

"He did tell me that you don't seem to like him." Daniel used this chance to ask about your coldness towards him in his other body. "He just wanted to become your friend, you know?"

"What? I-I didn't mean to make him feels like that" you stuttered. "It's just that, I..." you halted. 'Ahhhhh, this misunderstanding has become worse. I need to explain and clear things out with Daniel as soon as possible' you sighed.

You look at a now confused Daniel. "You know what, I'll talk about this with your friend later, alright? Don't worry about it." With that you walked out of the convenience store before Little Daniel could say anything.

The next morning:

Daniel's POV:

'When will (y/n) explain everything to me? I'm so confused right now' I pondered. Suddenly, I saw Vasco. 'Ahah, since (y/n) is taking forever, maybe I should just ask Vasco about it?"

"Vasco!" I yelled. Vasco stopped walking for a moment when I called out for him,but when he glanced back and saw me, he continued walking, ignoring me completely. I was confused by his reaction and picked up my speed to catch up with him.

"Vasco" I called out again, but when I put my hand on his shoulder to make him stop, to my surprise, he just brushed my hand off and shot me an unfriendly look.

"Uhh, sorry" I quickly apologized. "I wanted to ask you something regarding (y/n). Can we..."

"Meet me at the abandoned building near the Y bridge after school today," Vasco cut me off before I could finish my sentence. Why was he acting so aggressive towards me?

"Sure? Well, see you later Vasco," I said, still confused. Vasco left without saying anything else to me. 'Why does he looks so angry and... intense? Did I do anything wrong?' I thought.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of girls' chatters getting closer and closer. It was faint at first, but now it was getting louder. "What the..." I was swarmed by a bunch of girls screaming 'Danny' in a flash. "Ugh, not again" I groaned. I quickly began to walk to class, the girls following behind me, of course they would do that.
