Your POV:
I walk in circles in my room, not knowing what to think of all of this. With the thing about the vampires' past that happened and Shu kissing me, I am at a loss. Why did I kiss back!? I am so stupid, I tell myself, starting to seriously lose my shit. I punch a wall in anger and realize that my hand is bleeding. My eyes numb, I look at the blood splatters on the ground. What's with blood anyway? I do think that it tastes okay but what do they find so delicious about it? I shake my head, trying to put those thoughts away, which fails miserably.
Why did he kiss me? The question makes me freeze as I stare off into space. I had started to move again, forgetting about my bleeding hand. I study the question, examine it. Could he... like me? Everything comes back into focus as the thought crosses my mind. I see in colour again, having not even realized that everything was black and white, and I feel the pain from my injured hand, glancing at it. I should take care of that. I do not move though. It's as if the pain is showing me that this is real, that I'm not dreaming.
Shaking my head again, I turn around and walk into the bathroom, only to gasp as I see Shu in the bathtub full of water, still clothed. What the flying fuck!? Didn't he do that to Yui already? He is such an unoriginal douchebag, I think to myself, rolling my eyes. He opens one of his blue eyes and I freeze in place, uncomfortable. "What do you want?" I scoff at his question. "I could ask you the same thing." He smirks slightly which only makes me more uncomfortable. Then, he looks at my bleeding hand, the look in his eye changing completely as he opens the other one and stares at my hand.
I stay frozen in place, not knowing what to do. "S-Shu...?" I ask, the softness in my voice surprising us both as he looks back at my face, smiling softly. "Come here," He says. For some reason, I decide to listen to him and I walk closer. Suddenly, I feel him take my hand and gently turn it around, looking at my injury. "What happened?" He asks. I look at the ground, snatching my hand away from him. "Just punched a wall, is all," I say, not looking at him as I could almost feel his judgement from where I am standing. Not that I am that far from him, I think, backing up a bit.
After an awkward silence, I excuse myself and start walking out of the bathroom when his voice stops me. "I like you." My mouth hangs open as I freeze on the spot, eyes wide. "What?" I turn around but he isn't there anymore. I would think that nothing had happened if it weren't for the water still in the tub. What am I supposed to do with this information, exactly!? Now, I'm just pissed! Where the fuck is this boy? I need to tell him what I think of people that drop a huge bomb like that and leave! I continue yelling things at him in my head as I walk to the music room, my blood boiling in anger.
I feel myself being pushed to a wall, hitting my back on it which annoys me more than anything. I give Laito a cold stare, my poker face back. "Do you want to tease me, little kitten?" He asks. That's when I realize that I was still bleeding. I curse in my head, done with this shit. "No, I forgot. Now, let me go so I can beat someone up," I tell him calmly, venom in my voice. He smirks at me. "Fufufu, but I want to play," He says in a voice that makes me want to gag. I close my eyes with a small sigh. Thinking that I have given up, he is about to bite me in the neck when I kick him in the knee and run off.
I walk into the music room but do not see Shu, giving me the time to calm down. I sigh deeply, sliding with my back to the now closed door. "Oh my Thor, what am I going to do?" I mumble to myself, slightly gripping my hair in the process. I know that Laito won't come here, and Shu is probably sleeping somewhere, so what should I do? As I glance around the room, the piano catches my attention. I bite my bottom lip, unsure, but then shrug and walk to it. "Yolo." Sitting down, I let my fingers ghost over the keys, smiling softly for the first time in a while. I think of what song to sing but smile at an idea. I start playing, my eyes closing.
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)"
I take a big breath and put all of my feelings in the song.
"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I wanted to do
Is be more like me and be less like you"
I open my eyes partly.
"Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take!"
My eyes close again as I almost violently hit the notes on the keyboard.
"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I wanted to do
Is be more like me and be less like you"
I go into my own world, this song being the only important thing right now.
"And I know I may end up failing too
But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you"
I feel the music flow through me. I am making one with it.
"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I wanted to do
Is be more like me and be less like...
I've become so numb
Still being what you want me to be
I've become so numb
Still being what you want me to be "
As I press on the last note and open my eyes completely, the world comes back into focus. That's when I realize that someone is standing behind me. I turn around and my eyes widen as I see that it is Shu. His eyes are actually completely open and I get lost in them, not realizing that he is walking closer to me until he is right in front of me. I jumpily back away, my legs hitting the ben, making me fall backwards. He catches me with one arm, leaning closer. I am still looking into his eyes, completely entranced by them.
As he is about to kiss me, I push him off and run to the door before stopping, biting my lip at the pain in my hand. Fuck, I shouldn't have played with my hand hurting like that. My slight hesitation is enough for Shu to catch up to me, though, and, next thing I know, I'm in his bed and he is hugging me, eyes closed as he is starting to fall asleep. I freeze, not knowing if I should move or not.
Then, what he says next makes me blush. "I like your voice, it is very soothing. You will sing to me again." Though his voice sounds bored, I can sense the honesty, making me even more embarrassed. I stay silent and soon realize that he is asleep. Sighing in defeat, I close my eyes and get comfortable before falling asleep myself, cat ears twitching slightly as I dream of saving people, hunting things, just being awesome.
