Who Knew Emerald Was Such A Clingy Colour? (FushimixOC)

Chapter 7

Once He completed his work he went straight to the shower. And now that he was clean and fresh, he was sure he'd get a good night's sleep.

He really should have expected what awaited him in his room.

"Seriously, what are you doing in here?" Fushimi asked irritated. His eye twitching.

"Look! He's so cute! " Hime squealed as she held out Kuro to him.

"Get that thing away from me, and out of my room." He said as he stepped back from the cat.

"Don't be rude. He's not a thing, and he has a name, it's Kuro. And Kuro's adorable." She said with a smile as she ruffled the cat's fur.

"Yes I know his name. I've been living here long before you have remember." He said.

"Pet its fur. Its sooooo soft." She said as she brought the cat closer to Fushimi's face. She was starting to act like a child.

"Get it away from me!" Fushimi almost fell as he stumbled back, away from the cat.

Hime was confused. Why was he trying to get away from the cat. Kuro was the definition of adorable.

"Are you afraid of cats?" She asked in surprise, and just then Fushimi sneezed.

"No, I'm not scared of some feline. I'm just allergic." He replied as he cleaned his nose.

"Oh." She said disappointed, and let Kuro down so he could go take a nap.

Fushimi sneezed again and went to clean his nose with a tissue. "Sorry, I didn't know you were allergic." She said apologetically. Fushimi nodded in response to let her know it was okay.

"Anyway, you should go to bed, it's getting really late." He said as he climbed the top of the bunker bed in his room, until he felt a tug on his shirt.

"What are you doing? I wanna sleep up there." She said disappointed. "You can sleep at the bottom." She added.

"What?! No! You're not sleeping here. Didn't they give you your own room. There are barely any women in Scepter 4. You should have gotten your own room." He said.

"I know, and Ms. Awashima did give me my own room. But it's so far away from yours. How will you protect me if something happens?" She asked. And she seemed genuinely worried.

"We're in Scepter 4, no one's going to hurt you. Wait, are you being targeted or something?" He asked and looked to her for answers. Maybe she remembers something. This was good. This was very good. He could drop her where she belongs and be free again.

"I don't know. But I just feel safe when I'm around you." Hime said as she clutched the golden necklace around her neck. Fushimi hadn't noticed it was there before.

Well that's disappointing. He thought. "Please can I sleep here tonight? I promise you won't even know I'm here." She pleaded with him.

Fushimi looked at her and thought about how to reject the favour without sounding too mean. She was scared and he didn't want to upset her even more. He'd get into trouble with the Lieutenant for that.

But under no circumstances was he going to let her sleep in his room. People were already talking about him 'having a girlfriend' and he was not going to entertain that idea any longer.

"I'm sorry but no, you may not sleep here. This building is probably the safest place you can in be right now, so don't worry about getting hurt. Also, this is the boys dorm. You're not even supposed to be in here, let alone sleep here. Just go to your room and sleep, I'm tired." He said and looked at her to see her response.
