I looked at the blade for what seemed like hours before finally leaving the restroom.

I felt exhausted, mentally and physically drained.

I hardly even noticed when I bumped into my bodyguard for the day.

"Midget! Where did that bastard take you?! Were you bit?!" He yelled, attracting quite a few ears but I kept my head down and dragged him out to the gate of the school.

"I think I'm gonna ditch the rest of today, you?" I look up at him, already expecting the answer he gave me.

"Hell yeah."

The walk home was done in a nice silence, albeit after answering Ayato's hundreds of questions and his ocasional lamenting of having to walk the whole distance.

Once we reached home he stopped me and asked me a question that he seemed to have been wondering about for the trip home.

"That's Subaru's knife right?" I freeze, placing a hand over the hilt of the blade that had unknowingly peaked out of my pocket. "Yeah..." I trail off, not quite sure what to say.

'yo, but don't worry bro, i totally won't like STAB YOU IN THE HEART or anything- ahaha...'

"That bastard..."

I look up at Ayato. He doesn't seem angry in the slightest, just his usual pissy self.

'if he's not mad about me having the dagger, what is he mad about?'

"C'mon, I'll bring you to your room." He offered as more of an order than anything else, stomping up the stairs in a childish huff.

I sigh and chase after him.

"DAMN YOU AND YOUR DISPROPORTIONATELY LONG LEGS!" I screamed like CORPSE husband struggling with tinfoil, struggling to catch my breath after running after the baffoon for four flights of stairs.

"Midget, I knew humans were weak but..." I knew where he was going with that.

"OH DON'T YOU DARE FINISH-"

"But you gotta be weaker than average huh?" He gave me a devious grin. "YOU LITTLE-"

"I'm taller than you." His smile only widened.

"AGHHGGGG I AM THIS CLOSE TO PUNCHING YOU IN YOUR PRETTY FACE!" I make a beeline for my bed, grabbing a poor pillow to take my anger out on.

"So you think I'm pretty?"

'this...damn...BASTARD!!'

I grab the pillow on my lap and yeet it as hard as I can at the vampire, surprisingly manage to catch him off guard and smack him square in the face.

I stiffle my laughter as the plush pillow slowly falls off of his face and onto the floor with a soft thud.

But then I see the scowl on his face and my heart sinks.

'uh oh...'

I see flashes of him around my bed. Before I know it, my bed's supply of plushies amlnd soft things have been depleted, all of them now in a pile by the vengeful vamp's feet.

"H-hold on Ayato, lets talk about-"

BAM

A pillow to my face...

He threw it so hard the seam ripped and feathers began spilling out of the empty sack.

'Ow...'

I glare at the boy, now laighing so hard he's practically on his ass.

"OH YOU'RE ON!"

And on it was.

The rest of the pillowfight was a blur.

Perhaps involving more than just pillows...

I may or may not have lunged on him and repeatedly whacked him with a pillow...

Well at least I got a few hits in...

Cause now I was stuck squirming under the boy as he repeatedly smothered me with a pillow that looked like it had the life sucked out of it.

"Aghh c'mooon!! How heavy are you??!??" I groan in frustration, trying and failing yet again at shoving the boy off me. "Submit and Ore-sama may be gracious enough to release you!" He yelled triumphantly, bringing down the wrath of the feather stuffed bag yet again.

I twisted and squirmed but eventually I had to admit defeat.

"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!" I sighed between mouthfuls of displaced feathers and stuffing. "I SURRENDER, MERCYY MERCYYYYYY" I groan, my ribs no longer enjoying the weight of this undead mosquito on top of me.

On top...

He stopped his barrage of attacks and leaned in, "hah! Ore-sama always wins!" He gloated but stopped.

It seemed I had found myself in the same position yet again, the boy's face inches from mine.

"W-what...? Stunned by my good looks?" I choke out, trying desperately to hide my heart that was beating mkre violently than Sangwoo breaking Yoonbum's legs.

He paused, whether he didn't hear or was ignoring my words I didnt know.

But then he stood back up.

I breathed a small sigh, thankful for the return of my personal space before he lunged back down.

I silenced a gasp as he leaned over me, our forhead touching for a split second before he got back to his feet. It took a while to register what he just did.

Then I saw the scrap of paper in his hands.

'that was-'

"Someone put that in my pocket after I got away from Kou, I haven't been able to read it yet." I answered before he got the chance to ask. He already seemed upset at the contents of the paper, I didn't need that directed at me.

"Those bastards..." He glanced down at me and proceeded to walk off.

"Wait hold on! Thats mine!" He ignored me and kept walking back down the hallway. I groaned and ran after him.

"Give. it. back." I said flatly as I cut him off his path, holding my hand out.

"No." He practically snapped at me.

"Wha- Ayato! Give it back!" I yell back.

'this damn asshole takes MY things then has the nerve to YELL at me?! HELL NAW!'

"Ayato I said-!"

"ITS FOR YOUR OWN DAMN GOOD!" he snarled, his green eyes laced with poison.

I flinch, pretty taken aback.

'whats so serious about that paper?'

I see his eyes soften before he turns away from me.

Then he walked off without a word.

'UGH WHATS GOING ON WITH THEM TODAY?????!!'
