The Gangster Had Fallen

Chapter 6

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"W-wha— AHHH! OUCH!!" Nagisa groaned. Wincing in pain when his butt immediately collided with the cold floor. Bloody blanket was covered around him.

Nagisa yawned, taking a lazy glance at his alarm clock. After seeing the time, he quickly sat up in panic.

"WAAH?! IT'S ALREADY THIS LATE!?" He stood up, and hurriedly ran towards his own bathroom.

"I'M GONNA BE LATE AGAIN!!!"

💙

"You woke up late, Shiota." Asano said, sipping his cup of coffee. And eyed the huffing boy.

His wet hair was already tied up into two pony tails, wore an oversized black hoodie with long sleeves -reaching past his fingertips-,  blue jogging pants, and his usual red converse. And his bag clung in right shoulder.

His cuts? It's all fine now. Nagisa cleaned it with an alcohol and wrapped it with bandage. Yet, it still hurts.

"S-sorry! But why are you still here?!" Nagisa asked. "Shouldn't you be at school now?"

Asano shook his head. "You still don't get it, don't you?"

"The what?"

"I am here to take care of you. Since your mother's gone for a long time, she handed me you for a bit. She told me to take care of you. Now, clear?"

Nagisa's eyes widened. His Mom did that? Normally, Hiromi would just don't care. Even though if he had a fever, the lady would just snort and then force him to crossdress. With this lack of love from the mother, Nagisa's anxiety build up.

He thought that he's not worth it to be her son. He thought that he was not enough to make his mom happy and content. He thought that Hiromi would be proud to be her son.

Well, that's what he thought.

"O-oh..." He only responded, and neared the dining table where Asano is sitting now.

"Eat. I made pancakes."

Nagisa nodded. "T-thank you for the food."

While eating messily -because he needs to hurry for school-, Asano brought his bag and pulled out something from it. The bluenette didn't even noticed it.

The strawberry blonde handed him the things, making him looked up at him. Nagisa tilted his head a little, confused.

"What's that?"

Asano stared at him, straightly. "It's your missed lectures. Just accept it and go copy it."

Nagisa's jaw dropped. "Heeeh?! Really?! For real?! How did you even do that?!"

"None of your business. Take this, finish your food, so we can go to school already." Asano said, slumping back in his seat and finishing his coffee.

Nagisa placed the notes inside his bag and thanked Asano all over again. The other just ignored him, and continued thinking some of his duties at the school.

💙

"Uhmm... Asano-san..." Nagisa was uncomfortable.

"Hmm?"

"Why are you still by my side? You can go to your class now." The bluenette spoke, laughing nervously when Asano gave him a cold stare.

"I-i m-mean...!"

"No, Shiota. I'll escort you until you reached your classroom." Asano stated, tucking both of his hands in his pockets.

Students in the hallways eyeing them. Curiosity, confusion, disgusted, judgemental looks were thrown at them. But nevertheless, Asano didn't care but to just give them some deadly glare. Scaring the other students, they lookef away from them and didn't dare looking back. Because it is the Council President. Who wouldn't be afraid? While Asano was still silent, Nagisa was biting his quivering lip. Fear and pain showed in his pale face. Tears formed in his eyes, but forcefully tried keeping it to himself. He doesn't want Asano to see his weak side. It's such a shame if he let that happen.
