What We Do Now [Threequel to The Queen of Them]

Haise's POV

Drinking the coffee the lady gave me, I could help but see her looking at me - her smile showing how much pain she's in. Memories of what happened last night flashed before my eyes, causing me to know who she is. She's the one who controlled me.. She helped me relax.. Her arms were so familiar, and yet I can't remember it.. I thought, feeling tears go down my left cheek. I can't help but think how beautiful she was as I stared at her - how someone can be so gorgeous..as her..

"Haise.. I'm sorry for what I did last night.. It was rude of me.." The lady bowed again. "I'm Investigator (L/n) (Y/n), I work at the CCG like you all.."

She worked with us..? I thought. Then how come I haven't see her..?

Back off, Haise.. She's mine..

My eyes widened as I turned around - being in a completely different place with black and white checkered ground.

That woman is mine.. You better stay away from her.. No one is allowed to be close to her as I used to be..

"Sensei.." Mutsuki's hand landed on my shoulder. I looked at him and then at (Y/n).

"Sorry.. I dozed off.." I stated, scratching my cheek a bit.

"It's fine. I better go and leave you three alone. It was nice to meet you." (Y/n) bowed again, walking away.

I couldn't help but feel sad seeing her go. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do but let her be. Hopefully I get to see her at headquarters.

[The Next Day]

"O-On his own?!" I yelled out, shocked to hear what I heard. Mutsuki had gotten contact with Nutcracker and got invited to an auction on November 11. He doesn't know how to defend himself much and that worries me - alone with this being his first major undercover job.

"He can't bring in a quinque in, if there were to be a battle or a pat down. What good for the Quinxs if they can't just their own kagune..?" Washu told me.

"But sir, third grade Mutsuki-kun has never been on his—"

"—But..? But what..First Grade Sasaki..?" Washu cut me off, glaring at me.

"Associate Special Class Investigator Washu..?" I heard Suzuya as he raised his hand up. "May I be put in the auction as well?" He asked, causing me to turn to him.

"Investigator Suzuya-san.."

"Since we're stirring thing up on the inside with third grade Mutsuki, then it'll be best if you have two more people on this assignment."

Two people..? Who's the second person..? I thought, confused a bit.

"Very well then.." Washu agreed, closing his eyes in frustration.

"Thank you very much!" Suzuya thanked, bowing down a bit. "Did you hear that?! You're in, so you can stop peeping on us!" He yelled out, bending his back towards the door. Turning around, I had saw the door open, only to have my eyes widened in shock as I see her - (Y/n) - come in.

"Damnit, Suzuya.. I told you that I didn't want to get sucked into this.." (Y/n) muttered, scratching her neck.

"(Y-Y-Y/n)-chan?!" I stuttered.
