3. Dangit Horny Brain

"Kiss me."

"W-What?"

"What other legal thing w-would two teenagers be doing in an ally, alone, a-at 5 in the evening?"

"...I don't know, but-"

"Saihara. We're g-gonna get questioned either way. J-Just play along."

He looked at me for a moment, considering, before his lips met mine. I wrapped my hands around his head, and he held my waist. Don't freak out don't freak out don't freak out.

I heard the footsteps get louder, but then I noticed Saihara getting a little...too into his role. His hands moved up and down my waist as he bit my bottom lip. I opened my mouth, feeling the wall behind me. Don't freak out don't freak out don't freak out don't freak oooouut

The footsteps got louder and louder, until they stopped, followed by a plastic-y sounding thud. Saihara pulled away and started to kiss my neck. Thank god it's dark here, otherwise he'd notice the marks on my neck.

"Hah~ Babe~" I sighed, adding the pet name for effect. Then, I opened my eyes slightly. A man with bright pink hair and a dirty blue jumpsuit stared at us in shock. He seemed to be in his mid-late twenties, and he was covered in grime. His hands were open, and a trash bag sat on the ground.

I let my eyes widen for further effect. "B-Babe, um...ah, we have company..."

Saihara turned to look at the man. "Do you mind?"

"S-Should you two be here?" The man asked nervously.

Saihara's glare hardened. "Who the fuck cares? You're interrupting us."

"Babe...m-maybe we should cut him some slack...he's just d-doing his job."

He turned to me with a grin. "You're too nice, love~" He said, leaning back into my neck.

"B-Babe..." I squirmed, trying not to freak out. He passed over a sensitive spot on my neck, causing me to tense up as he bit on it. "Ah~"

The stranger left the trash bag on the ground and slowly walked away. After he was certain the man was gone, Saihara let go of me and put his head up against a corner, six feet away from me.

"Sooorrryyyyyyyyy..." He mumbled, blushing intensely.

"I-It's fine! I p-pressured you into t-that, I should be a-apologizing." I hurried to forgive him as the blush on my face grew. That was pretty nice...Dammit horny brain. Shush.

"I guess we should check if the wi-fi is working."

I pulled out my phone. Finally! Some internet!

"I-It's up, finally." I tapped on the gps to find...I was miles away from where I was supposed to be.

"Shit." I mumbled, earning a confused face from Saihara. "It's g-gonna take all night to get home."

"That mafia boss guy was talking about a rival gang, I don't know if walking through here at night would be the best option." I shuddered, remembering the creepy looks I got from the gang members that were circling us. I was kinda grateful for Saihara's presence.

"H-How far is your house?"

He pulled out his phone and smiled. "30 minutes that way." He pointed at the opposite direction that I needed to be.

"Oh...I h-have to go the other way...I-I guess I should g-go alone then-"

"What? No way, you won't be safe. You'd be traveling miles, on foot, with no protection from rain, or stray dogs, or...people. There's no way you're going alone."

"B-But if you go with me, you'd be doing the s-same, but for longer!"

"...You could stay at my house."

"Eh?"

"If we take the fastest route, we'll be there in like 25-30 minutes. I'm sure your parents would understand."

"...L-Let me ask."

Bitch

Me: The wi-fi cut out where I was. I got lost, but I'm near a friend's house. Is it okay if I stay there for tonight?

Bitch: ...How lost are you?

Me: It would take me at least 4 hours to get home, through a dangerous alley.

Bitch: Dangerous?

Me: We almost had a run-in with a gang. Luckily, me and my friend are 30 minutes away from his house. Can I stay there tonight?

Bitch: ...You had a client at 6.

Me: Oh.

Bitch: I'll reschedule, but I'll have to give them a discount, which is just great. You're not getting off the hook easily. But, if it's safer, stay with your friend tonight.

Me: Thank you! I'll make it up to you.

"What did she say?"

"She said I could s-stay the night." I smiled at him and celebrated in my head. Not only do I not have to do...that...but also, I get to spend the night at a friends!

He smiled back at me, grabbing my hand and leading me in the direction of his house. I realized suddenly. We're holding hands. I'm holding hands with a murderer. Who kills rapists. And gets flustered after kissing me even if I ask him to. And he's kind. And he cares about strangers. And he's hot. But he kills people. But he's also hot. How do I feel about this?

We walked to his house, joking about small things like we've been friends for a long time. He smiled and laughed at my blunt remarks, which only made me want to tell more jokes and hear his laugh again.

He walked up to a building on the edge of the alley. A small, rural path through a forest was barren from use. "We go up this path and eventually, we'll get to my house."

"A-A secluded spot in the woods...it's almost as if y-you're a serial killer or something."

"No, of course not~" He giggled, heading down the path.

I followed him, stopping every now and then to gaze at the beautiful, natural scenery. We walked right by a creek, the clearing smell of running water filling my senses with a vague feeling of tranquility. I beamed at the sight of a bunny. Saihara smiled as I tried to pick it up. It ran off, and I pouted. I heard him laugh beside me.

"You can't expect it to just hop in your hands, Oma-chan."

"I wasn't." I said, my pout growing. "I was just hoping to pet it."

His eyes lit up in the sunlight. That's so strange. His eyes were a light gray in the dark alley, but now that we're in normal lighting, it almost seems to be a pale green. Fuck, that's pretty.

"C'mon, let's get going. We don't want it to get too dark."
