Loveless Love

Chapter 2

I walked to my station, cash register 2. I got here before Makoto for once.
Makoto was a little late, but he didn't seem to care. He set himself up in the register next to mine as he usually would. I had a crush on him, but he was dating this asshole named Sayaka.
"Hey Makoto! What's up?" I asked.
He looked up, he had a bruise on his left cheek, "Oh, um, I crashed my bike. But it's ok, Sayaka gave me a ride!"
"Are you sure? I've known you for years, and you've never crashed your bike." I crossed my arms.
"Yeah..." he flipped his hair to cover his face a bit, concealing the bruise.
"Every time you've gotten hurt, or been late, you always seem to mention Sayaka. Are you sure it wasn't her?"
He was quiet for a moment, "She loves me, I'm positive she does. It's just that she has a weird way of showing it."
"So every little bruise is made of love? So what's sex like then? BTSM?"
"Jesus no! We haven't done anything in months, thank god. She's just not interested anymore."
"Seems like she's not interested in you. You don't hit the ones you love." I scoffed.
A customer walked up to us, he helped him buy his things and sent the man on his way. We spent most of work talking about his relationship. Surprisingly I managed to convince him to break up after work.
He rode his bike home, I waited in the parking lot for Mukuro to pick me up. She didn't get off for another hour, so I made my way to the back of the store.
I picked up a rock and tossed it at a bird. It flew away, but it hit the nest, knocking it over, killing the eggs inside. I smirked at my victory and picked up another rock.
I hit a squirrel in the head, it was still alive, but it stayed on the ground. I picked up a boulder and dropped it on the small vermin, killing it.
I killed a few birds and another squirrel. I saw a stray cat. Cats were a little harder to kill, but I tried regardless. I hit the ground close by its paws, scaring it off.
I decided to head back and wait for Mukuro again. She pulled up.
"Hey sis, how was work?" I asked.
She simply shrugged and smiled, "I'm fine. I have to go to a concert tomorrow though, so that'll be fun. How about you? Still trying to get Makoto?"
"Of course! He might break up with Sayaka soon, so I might just get lucky." I smirked.
"Sayaka? She doesn't take well to break ups. Remember when I dated her? She treated me like her property, and when I tried to break up with her, she locked me in a closet for a few days! I'm very lucky that you came to save me, she wasn't giving me water! I hope Makoto will be okay."
"I told him that in the case of an emergency he should call the cops, then us."
"Good. We can take him in until we know he's safe from her."
