It was another boring day to live through. But that day had given me a weird feeling.
Because of that feeling, I wanted to go to school as soon as possible. And the thought of seeing that blonde kid would never wore off from my mind.
What is this? Perhaps it's just anxiety.
After I got dressed, I raced down to the kitchen and greeted my brother first. It was pretty unusual since Kaizo was the only one who would be the one to greet first. "Morning, onii-chan..!"
And this caught him by suprise, "M-morning.. why are you.. seemed different today..?"
I shrugged my shoulders and took two pieces of sandwiches before running out to school. For some reason, I felt bad for doing that to him. I hope he didn't think badly of me.
"Good morning!"
I faked a smile and greeted the whole class as some of them greeted back while the others just smiled in respond.
I got to your seat, which the blonde boy was sitting next to and turned to him, "Morning!"
He glanced at me and mumbled a reply. I can hear him but I wasn't really satisfied with it.
And being patient is not me.
Suddenly, you pulled him by the collar and gave him a creepy stare, "A-ah..!"
"Nee~ I'm trying to be nice here.. it's not easy, you know?"
He seemed terrified by my sudden action and froze as I waited for his response. "Well?"
"Y-Yuki..! My name is Yuki!", the boy almost screamed but I heard a few laughter from the girls.
Yuki looked away from my gaze and blushed furiously. "Sounds like a girly name, isn't it? Laugh for all I care!"
I raised an eyebrow, "I never said it was funny."
He frowned at my answer as he seemed unsatisfied. "Shut up. You don't have to act nice around me."
"What?"
That really triggered me.
"You'll act all nice around me and start to talk behind me. But just to let you know, I'm used to it already. So it shouldn't affect me a lot."
"Yuki.."
I wanted to yell at him, but sadness started to overwhelmed my thoughts. Did people really treated him like scum?
They're lucky Yuki seemed to be nothing like me.
"Sorry.", was the only thing I could say to him. I noticed the look in his eyes, as if he seemed perplexed by my actions.
Of course, he does. Who doesn't?
At first, I tried to act all sweet and girly. And then, I suddenly acted out of anger with a creepy smile. But now, I suddenly apologized without looking at him.
But after he gained his posture, he nodded and glanced to the black board.
"It's fine. I don't mind."
And now... why the hell that does not bothering him at all?! And why does it bothered me instead?!

"Onii-chan will always protect you...", he whispered as he was gently putting me into the bathtub. Right as my left foot touched the warm water, I tightened my grip on to Kaizo's shirt.
"It's alright... I won't let you hurt...", he spoke gently as he slowly let my body sat into the warm water. My grip loosened but I didn't let it go.
Aquaphobia.
A phobia that an assassin shouldn't have suffered from.
But I couldn't help it and it wasn't your fault. It was never your fault.
It was his fault.
Kaizo frowned at the sight of me, trembling in fear as my breath hitched. He curled hands into fists as he remembered the traumatizing moment that made me feared of water.
But that was a long time ago. And I promised him that I will get over it.
But it wasn't as easy as being said.
After how long it felt like, Kaizo finally picked me up and wrapped me with a bathrobe. He put me into my room and gave me the nightgown I should wear.
He was more like a butler than a brother to me, and it made me loved him more.
Even if he had to kill anyone who dared to touch me, I knew he was just protecting me. And I couldn't be mad at him for too long.
"Sweet dreams..", he said through a soft smile that would always made me felt safe and secured.
Even how cruel he can act towards his victims, only I have seen the soft side of him. Even when he was covered in blood.
I chose this fate for him. Because I only have him.
Before I even realized it, I slowly fell into a deep slumber.
_______________________________________________
I stared emotionlessly down to my hands. It was covered in blood.
But who's blood was it?
I don't know. But it's not like I'm new to it. Suddenly, a hand touched my shoulder and made me startled.
"Ahh, so you're the one who did it.", the familiar voice spoke in such a playful way as I turned to face a man who I missed dearly. "Oto-san..?"
He grinned widely, "I see you've had your revenge towards that cat next door."
"I killed a cat..?"
He let out a chuckle that made me felt everything wrong seemed right, "Oto-san.. I missed you so much.."
I tried to force a smile yet my tears failed to cease. "I really.. really.. missed you.."
His grin turned into a sad smile, "Me too.. I missed you too.. but I'll just wait for you.. when it's time, I will be the one who will get you.."
Then, he pulled me into a warm comforting embrace, "You're strong, (Y/n).."
"You're kind-hearted..."
I smiled as he kept praising me with words that I yearned to hear from him.
"You're beautiful... you.. smell good..", suddenly, that voice changed into a voice who belonged to a person i loathed the most.
Looking up, my eyes widened to see the man who caused my misery smiling down to me creepily.
I tried to free myself from his grip but he was stronger. "I won't hurt you, (Y/n)-chan..."
"Let me go, old man!"
"It's alright... (Y/n)-chan...", he sang as his hands roamed around my body. "Stop!"
The man lifted me and threw me into the water and choked me as hard as he could. And I almost went breathless until I heard another voice.
"(Y/n)! It's alright! It's just me..!"
My eyes fluttered opened as I realized that it was just Kaizo. He stared down to me with worried eyes.
I looked around to make sure what was happening. I was lying down on my bed with heavy breath and sweats as Kaizo was on top of me, still staring down into my eyes. "Bad dreams again?"
I looked away, I knew he would be more than worried to know that I never get over it.
That dream.
It would never stop haunting me every night and it had made Kaizo worried. He had to sleep right outside of my door room as I slept inside.
"I'm good now.., thank you.."
He sat up and glared into a way with a frowned, "This isn't good. It's not good for your health, you know?"
You sat up and gave him a smile, "I know.. but I can't help it.."
He let out a sigh, "I already killed that bastard, but I don't how to remove those nightmares of yours.. and I'm not gonna let you eat anymore of those sleeping pills.."
"But that's the only way so that I'll sleep peacefully.."
"And probably the cause of your death in the next day."
I frowned at him, "Then, sleep with me."
There was a slight pause before a sigh from him was heard, "Fine.. if that'll make you sleep.."
I gave him a smile and giggled, "Thank you, onii-chan.."
That night, Kaizo fell asleep while I was still cuddled in his strong arms. His messy hair was seen and the scent would always made me know that he'll always be with me.
I wonder what will happen if he's... gone. Will I find another guy like him? Will he love me like he did?
I just hope he will. I just hope it's real.
But even if I thought about it randomly, an image of a person popped out of nowhere.
Yuki..
