RUNNING A HAND THROUGH MY HAIR, I WALKED HOME, TUSSLING THE H/C LOCKES INTO THEIR NATURAL LOOK. The night had broke into morning, and in a couple hours, the sun would break the horizon. The streets were quiet for once, which was nice. You learned to block out all the pollution and constant chatter after awhile.
The street lamps shone with a dull intensity as I walked down the street, my shoes making small thuds. My ears abruptly twitched, picking up the smallest trace of noise to my right. I peeked down an alleyway, trying to notice anything. Nothing. I shrugged, disregarding it as a rat or some sorts.
Something wrapped itself around my leg, making my skin crawl. I shrieked as I kicked, trying to free myself. Around my leg was a lasso of sorts made of a crimson liquid that could be recognised from a mile away. Blood.
"Let go of me! Motherfucker!" I cried out in vain, the chance of someone hearing me and actually helping me was as likely as me waking up early. Willingly.
The liquid snaked up my leg and wrapped itself around my knee. I tried to jump backward, but my knees gave out and I fell backwards.
"FUCK!" I screamed as I was dragged into the alleyway, trying to grip onto anything I could. Unfortunately for me, there was nothing to grab onto. As I screamed, a flash of blue ran past me, making the blood slice in half. I didn't question it as I quickly got to my feet and backed up, hands up in case something we're to come out. I was about yell something into the darkness when I felt the wind slam though me.
And just like that I was being carted away in the arms of someone.
I looked up to see a chiseled jaw line and glasses. We stopped abruptly, and I could feel his grip tighten a little on my thigh and waist.
"Y/N! Are you okay?!" Iida asked, his eyes fixated on mine. I gave a grin as I reached up and hugged his neck.
"My hero! You saved my retarded ass! Thank you Iida!" I cheered, clinging to the man like my life depended on it.
"N-No worries! I-I'm glad I came in time!" He stuttered. I was placed on the ground, allowing me a good look of his blushing face. I couldn't help but give an internal 'aw' at his shyness. He slowly put me down, letting my shoes hit the concrete. I turned to smile at the taller man, who now had his hands shoved in the pockets of his trousers.
"I was just on my way home. You probably know just how dangerous these streets are." I scratch the back of my neck before turning on my heel. I gave a wave over my shoulder. "I'll see you later Iida, thanks again!" I gave a smile before turning around and walking.
"Wait!" I heard the pounding of shoes on concrete and saw a dark blue suit appear on my right, matching my walking pace. "It is late, so I shall accompany you home. You have no right to refuse!" I let out a short giggle at his eagerness.
"Of course. Is it cool if I ask you a question?" I ask, giving the male a side glance. He gave a smile.
"Please, ask away!" He beamed. I gave a nod, folding my arms over my chest, as if to block the cold winds buffeting me. I jumped as a jacket was placed over my shoulders, the warmth transferring itself to me. I looked over at Iida to see a warm smile on his lips.
"I... thank you." I mutter, hugging the jacket closer to me.
"Its no problem! You looked cold, and it's what any gentlemen would do." He seemed to be very proud of himself, the radiant smile evident. "Anyways, your question?" He asked.
"Oh yeah. I've been thinking about it for a long time." I stopped walking, now facing Iida directly, his blue irises focused on mine. "Why did you choose the life of a criminal? I mean, your just so sweet and proper. It just doesn't make such sense." I put a finger to my chin as I stared up at the male, watching his expression. It seemed... sad, like he was hesitant to say something.
"I... That is hard to say. Whilst I haven't committed anything major, you are correct: my career choice is indeed poor." His solemn frown abruptly turned into a small smile. His gaze lowered to the sidewalk, his hands leaving his pockets. "The main reason was so I could be stronger. For myself and my friends. You see, a criminal... murdered my brother. After that, I was never the same." He glanced up to me, his eyes glassy and his smile sincere.
"I needed to stand up to myself, to be someone bigger in this hellish world. I'm not on the right side, nor the wrong side. But I'm glad to have made that choice." He stood taller, looking up with somewhat of a renewed hope. I gave a sad smile as I stepped forwards and hugged him, taking him by surprised. He hesitated, but returned the hug, holding me tight.
"I'm sorry that happened to you, Iida. But, I'm glad you're doing better now." I let go and gave him a smile. He readjusted his glasses and nodded.
"Your support truly helps. Thank you." He nodded towards ahead, matching my stride as we walked.
---???'s POV---
Iida Tenya. You are weak. She makes you weak. She makes everybody weak. She makes you reveal your past, your pain, your suffering. If I could just get my hands on her... I could make them all fall to my feet like dogs.
Dogs begging for their treat.
A low cackle left my dry throat as I watched the two walk away. I noticed the taller male's hand fidgeting by his side, perhaps thinking about holding his beloved.
This plan... 𝔚𝔦𝔩𝔩 𝔟𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔡𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔟𝔩𝔬𝔬𝔡 𝔱𝔬 𝔟𝔬𝔱𝔥 𝔤𝔞𝔫𝔤𝔰.
Now all I have to do is get her.

Author's Notes:
Oof, spooky dooky. Anyways, hope y'all enjoyed, and sorry for not uploading as frequently. NAPLAN is happening, and it can suck my 5 inches.
If you don't, or if you're not Australian, then NAPLAN is two or three weeks of hell and bullshit and exams and tears. And they wonder why people are depressed and stressed out of their damn minds. I also have dump trucks of homework that I'm close to burning soon.
On a side note, thank you guys for all the love and support for my books and myself, I couldn't asked for a better audience. Thanks for 400 followers as well, that was surprising.
Anyways, I'll try to keep these chapters rolling as best I can. I'd rather give chapters a lot of time and consideration instead of rushing them, which normally leaves them being shitty.
