Lost in a Monster's Heart (Chise Hatori X Elias Ainsworth)

Late.

"Hurry up Chise! We're going to miss the bus." Ruth yells out as he stuffs a toast in his mouth, I look up at him leaving and stammer "I-I'm coming!" I quickly halfway put on my shoes and stick a toast in my mouth as well rushing out and getting on the bus, I sigh heavily and flop onto my seat, I notice a guy in the back, he seemed a bit lonely staring out the window, he seemed expressionless. "Hey there." I walk up to him and wave, he looks up and waves with no emotion to it and in a few seconds he looks at me again and then jumps back at the sight of me. "Gah!" His grey eyes dart at my every detail "Sorry didn't mean to startle you.." I looked at him with a weird expression, why was he staring at me so hard? "It's quite Adequate" His voice...it reminds me of someone. "A-Ah...well...I'm just going to go." I stammer as I try to leave but a gentle gloved hand wrapped around "No stay... it's alright." The Guy looks up at me, his eyes showed a bit of emotion meanwhile his body didn't show it. "Alright." I sit down next to him, his clothes seemed like he went to my school but he was wearing a black long ripped at the end jacket and white gloves. "..Um..do you...go to...School here?" I ask looking up at the tall man, He nods "Indeed I do...Do you?" He stares at my clothes. "Ah ye-yeah I do." I look up, and softly smile, he nods "I'll see you at school then..." He gets up and hops off, he slings his bag over his shoulder...I think he's a delinquent.

"Chise... Chise!" I heard a voice and a hand waving in front of my face, it was Ruth. "Chise...You were in a daze...come on your late now." He glares at me. "L-Late!?" I jump up and grab my bag, I quickly run out the bus, I almost trip but then a gloved hand wrapped around my hand. "...Chise..." I gasp and look up, it was the same boy from before though, I frowned "..Oh it's you." I look up at him "Wait...how did you know my name?" I stare at him, "Your friend there said your name so many times I could hear it from my hang out area." He looks down at me, he still had an emotionless look on his face. "...Hey whats your name?" I ask looking up at him, "W-Well..it's um.." The bell rung and he sighs "I have to go sorry..." He waves and runs, I sigh and rub my head I wondered why he didn't tell me his name.

"Chise You're late." The Teacher looks over at me. "Ah Sorry Sir." I bow and start to walk off to my Desk "It's alright though I wish to assign you an assignment...after school that is." He looks over at me then sighs "Alright then anyways it's time to get to business." He pulls down the board and shows us the notes we had to take. "Mhh.." I yawn and look around, I didn't really wish to be in class for this long, I rose my hand up "Teacher." I look at him, he looks over at me "Yes?" He quirks his eyebrow looking at me "May I use the bathroom?" I look at him and chuckle awkwardly. "Yes...don't forget to take the pass." He looks back at his computer and points at the pass. I grabbed the pass and rushed out towards the roof. "I remember it like it was yesterday." I mutter to myself as I walk towards the edge. "The Day I met Elias..." I closed my eyes and release a sigh "Who's Elias?" The Guy I met on the bus walks over, he looks down at me. "A-Ah...your here.." I look down, He touches my shoulder "He's a really close friend of mine...he left me just like the rest..." I sigh and look up, I always wondered why he left "Maybe he had a reason." The guy looks up in the air and exhales, I could see his breath in this weather. "Maybe...it was because of me..." I clenched my hand against my arm gripping a bit hard "Never!" The Guy looks at me, then he looked off into the distance "...I mean...I Assume that he wouldn't do such a thing as that if he is as close as you say." He looks down at me, I smile before chuckling. "Thanks. You're not as bad as I thought." I say before softly punching his shoulder, he stares at me as if not understanding the gesture. "Say if you were Elias what reason would you leave?" I look up at him curious of what he was going to say, He clears his throat "If I was...the only reason I'd leave is if I was afraid of hurting you." He Answers closing his eyes to think, My heart gently pounds against my chest, why? why does his answer make me feel this sort of way? Speaking of which whats with the odd way he talks and acts..why didn't he tell me his name either? I stare intensely into his eyes, they were grey and emotionless, he seemed to be telling the truth as well, but why did he sound so much like...him... I look more intensely at him suddenly it all comes to me, his hair, his eyes, his emotionless expressions and weird words he uses, the way he acts even and the way he wouldn't tell me his name. "I should get going now." He started to walk off, I quickly grab his arm "Wait!" I look up at him, he looks down at me with a surprised expression, I sigh and clench his arm more, I believed in what I was about to say, and I was ready to say it, it all came together and it must be-it must mean he is...

"......Elias....?"
