Undeniable (Feitan x Reader)

Chapter 2: An Unexpected Visit

In the days that followed, Feitan could not stop thinking about that book or more specifically the girl who it belonged to. The image of your smile, which he deemed to be annoying, was burned into his mind.

"Tch ridiculous. The only reason why I am thinking about her is because she was suspicious and obviously up to something" Being satisfied with this explanation Feitan relaxed and glanced over at the clock.

"Tomorrow." Was all he said.

                                       *******************************

"Dammit I can't believe I overslept again" you grumbled to yourself as you adjusted the buttons on your coat. Realizing that you would probably not make it on time if you didn't take the alley again you turned the corner just before the familiar coffee shop.

You were still fixing yourself up, since you did not have time to smooth out any imperfections in your attire due to hastily putting yourself together and running out the door of your apartment as soon as you woke up.

"You. You have more books?" A direct but strangely familiar voice called out to you from side of the alley.

You looked up from you coat to see him standing there, leaned over the wall his eyes fixed on his fiddling fingers.

"I um- I do." You quickly replied. Strange seeing him here again. He hadn't even said goodbye the last time you saw him and you did not think you would see him again.

"Where?" He asked as he raised his gaze and finally met yours and then down at your sides, clearly looking for your bag that had housed your novels previously.

"I don't have any on me at the moment. I was in a hurry and didn't have ti-"

"Where?"

"My-my books? Back at my place"

"Let's go then"

"What? Where?"

"Your place" He firmly and pointed to the direction you came from.

"I have to go to work. I can probably get my books when I get off later but I'm already late and I-"

"You always late. Take me now."

You were taken aback at his subtle rudeness and how direct he spoke to you. You were used to people giving you orders occasionally but never by a strange short man you had only met a couple of times.

"I'll meet you here at 6:15 pm." You glanced at him and quickly continued on your way to work.

You could feel his stare drilling into your back but you were fast and made your way out of his line of sight. "Why is he so intimidating?"

                                                            ***************************

"It's 6:13 she should be here. How long does it take to get here from her work?! She's so slow"

You turned the corner and made your way into the alley where you had promised to meet the short black-haired man. You could see a shadowy figure turn to face you.

"Okay well let's go." You didn't take the time to look if he was following but you could feel his presence behind you, even though his footsteps were extremely quiet.

Making your way to the entrance of your apartment building you unlocked the main door and gestured at the chairs that were placed in the entryway of the complex. "You can wait here, I will be down shortly with something I think you might like"

"No."

"What?"

"No I go up with you. Chairs are dirty"

How stubborn can this man be? Without saying another word, you began to climb the stairs until you reached your floor and opened your door. He just stared at you, waiting for you to walk into your apartment first.

"Never turn your back on strangers" he thought, although he knew she looked completely harmless there was something about her that was off.

You walked into the front door and watched as he slowly and cautiously walked in after you. After closing your door, he stood awkwardly in front of it. An awkward silence filled the air. Never one to enjoy these moments you decided to break it. "You can sit down" you signaled at the couch "what do you normally like to read?" you asked as you placed your hand on the large bookcase filled with a variety of novels, books, and journals.

He took a minute to look at his surroundings. This place was clean, almost as if you didn't spend much time here.

To be honest, you were very nervous. You had never had a man at your place alone. You had barely met him a week or so ago and he was sitting on your couch, inspecting your apartment as if he were a nosey aunt.

"Who are you?" He muttered, giving you a deep stare.

"You obviously know my name is Y/N."

"No, I mean who are you?"

"You want my life story?"

"No but you talk too much anyway so just tell me"

Why did he care? Why was this man who you had ran into not too long ago now sitting on your couch asking you who you were?

"Oh, are you a policeman undercover or something?" you giggled realizing that he probably didn't understand that you were joking.

"Hell no. I do not like police"

"Why?"

"I ask you questions. You don't ask" Feitan suddenly realized that in the five minutes he had been here with her, he had spoken more words than he had in the last few weeks.

"Okay well if you insist. I am Y/N as you already know. I am a Disease Hunter, I have been working on a particular experiment for the last 2 or so years. We haven't had any breakthroughs in awhile so my life is pretty boring for the most part."

"I do not care about disease. Why are you here?"

"I live here" you smiled almost letting out a chuckle

"No why are you in Yorknew" He said raising his voice slightly and you could tell he was getting annoyed.

You gave out a long sigh "The best university program for what I wanted to study is in this city. After getting my Hunter's license and finishing my degree I wanted to work under the famous Cheadle Yorkshire."

"How old you are?" He asked puzzled "You look 16"

"Oh no, I just turned 24 a few months ago, nice to know I still look young haha! How old are you, if you don't mind me asking"

"60. Do not ask" he lied.

You let out a loud laugh "60?! I know you're trying really hard to sell this whole mysterious guy act but at least give me a fake age that is actually believable, YOU look 16"

He was getting a bit angry at your remark but your laughter warmed him inside ever so lightly. He hadn't felt this way in a long time, and it was always with people that he had known for a long time and was comfortable around.

The sun was beginning to set at this hour, and the golden streaks of light were filling the room, hitting your H/C hair highlighting it, along with your eyes. You looked bright and paired with the smile from laughing at him, you looked incredible. Feitan couldn't help but notice this and his eyes were fixed on you.

When he realized that he had been staring at you for too long and you were beginning to notice, a warm blush painted his cheeks "Fuck. I need to leave. I came looking for a book and now she will get suspicious of me"

He got up abruptly and after scanning the books on your shelf, he plucked one gave you a quick look and began to exit the apartment.

"Wait! How will I get it back?"

"I know where you live."

And with that, just as soon as he had essentially invaded her place he was gone in an instant. You caught yourself smiling as you thought about seeing him again, even if it was just to return something he had borrowed.
