Falling For A Psychopath [BNHA]

Chapter Nine

Kai's POV

Age:16

I woke with a start as I realized I wasn't alone in bed before I remembered being awoken in the middle of the night by a crying Gemini. Glancing down, I saw her sound asleep snuggled up against me. Her small hands gripped the front of my shirt tightly and she had her face buried in my chest. Not wanting to disturb her, I adjusted the blankets around us so she wouldn't catch a chill and laid completely still so she could keep sleeping.

Gemini slept soundly cradled in my arms. I thought back to the middle of the night, it wasn't the first time Gemini had woken me in the middle of the night. It happened on occasion which is why I made the rule no games till sun up. Once I found her just standing over me with a knife in hand, she cackled maniacally and ran away when I startled awake. Another time she'd been trying to finger paint on my wall with blood from who the hell knows where. She didn't sleep a whole lot, probably too psychotic to sleep like a normal person.

I felt something wet on my shirt and groaned as I realized Gemini was now drooling on me in her sleep. "Seriously, psycho?"

She didn't stir awake, just nuzzled her face against my chest as if she were trying to somehow snuggle closer to me which was impossible as she was already glued to me. A soft sigh of contentment escaped her in her sleep. It seemed whatever must have upset her in the middle of the night was no longer a concern. I was curious what sort of dreams Gemini had on the rare occasions she did sleep. This one seemed to be a happy dream, perhaps she was murdering her father and Genevieve, that seemed about the only thing I could think that would bring her joy in her dreams, she was allowed to kill anyone else in the world if she felt like it so that wasn't as fun for her.

"Kai-chi." She squeezed me tightly in her sleep and let out a small dreamy sigh.

"Are you murdering me in your dream?" I frowned down at her sleeping form. There was an adorable innocent smile splayed across her lips.

"Kai-chi." She breathed my name again and squeezed me tight.

"I'm not sure if I should be flattered, annoyed, concerned or scared for my life." I sighed.

An hour later, there was a knock at my door. Gemini still didn't stir. I attempted to disentangle myself from her so I could go answer the door, but even in sleep she seemed to have beastly psycho strength.

"Kai, Gemini's missing." The Boss' voice sounded from the other side of the door before it slowly opened. His eyes widened as he spotted Gemini in my bed.

"I promise its not what it looks li-." I blurted uncomfortably but cut off as he let out a soft chuckle.

"Honestly, I'd probably be happier if it was what it looked like, but no matter. I'm just glad she's not missing." The Boss smiled.

What on earth did that mean? Why would he want for her to be with one of his lowly subordinates? She was worth so much more. I frowned slightly.

"I'll leave you two be." The Boss shut the door and I heard his footsteps retreating.

I sighed and pondered what the boss had said. Did he want Gemini and I to be romantic? I wasn't sure that was possible for either of us, the girl was a psychopath and I wasn't entirely sure if either of us was capable of love, at least not the way normal people were. As annoying as she was, I did find myself caring about her feelings. Last night had scared me, I'd never seen her in such a state. I had no idea what to do. Gemini, cared about me in her own way, she usually showed it by making attempts on my life or exposing me to horrendous things that irritated my mysophobia.

"Kai-chi." She snuggled closer to me, her voice didn't sound nearly as dreamy as before, her arms reached behind me and I sighed as I realized she'd awoken and was trying to sneak attack me with a knife she'd hidden somewhere on my headboard without my notice.
