You work your usual night shift at a midnight café, when suddenly, a stranger bursts through the door and hides behind the counter. Seconds later a police officer follows and asks you about a red haired guy. For some reason, you deny ever having seen someone like that, so the officer leaves. When the guy you just protected keeps reappearing after that night, you can feel that something is up. But will he let you into his world? And do you even want to find out what exactly his deal is?

a/n: I have uploaded this on Tumblr already. It's originally a oneshot, but I decided to split it into chapters for wattpad because I think it reads a little easier. I hope whoever reads this enjoys the fic. I am happy about comments, votes and whatever it is that is possible on wattpad. feel free to folow me on Tumblr (@yujisabs)
