I stared in my bathroom mirror. My black, wavy hair
dripped to my lower back and it made my light blue eyes pop. A towel that I had
grabbed for the silver-haired boy was lying lazily on my shoulder. I fixed my
hair a bit and exited the bathroom. Quickly, I walked down the hall, thoughts
rushing through my mind. ‘Where’s his family? How did he become a
Misfortuned? When did he eat last? Should I let him stay here? Will he hurt
me?’
My mind was buzzing so much that I wasn’t paying
attention and ran smack-dab into the television, falling on my butt. “Ow! Ow!
Ow!” I grumbled, rubbing my head.
“Is this for me?” I heard the boy ask. I looked up
and saw him holding the towel. His black eyes… why black? That’s not normal.
Even so, I kept a smile on.
“Yes. Umm… My father has some clothes if you’d like
to change.” I offered, seeing his wet clothes stick to him. All I got back was
silence. “I-I’ve already set them out in the guest bedroom.” I continued,
hoping he’d take up my offer.
“Alright.” He finally, responded, patting my head
and walking to the only room with and open door.
I sighed and watched the door shut. Why did I trust
him when I didn’t even know him? Was it the way he looked at me? Why was it
that every time his eyes met mine, my stomach churned? I roughed up my hair and
shook my head. ‘Stop psyching yourself out!’
I stood up and slowly made my way to the guest
bedroom door. “Umm… sir, I’m not sure if you told me your name. Mine is Hashiri
Toyazumi. I’m a sixteen-year-old student.”
No response.
I began to hesitate. Was he irritated by me? Was I
being annoying? I leaned against the door, putting my ear up against it. I’m
not sure what I was listening for… any kind of response… “S-Sir?” I questioned.
I was about to go back into the living room when the
door opened. Since I as leaning against it, I fell right onto him. He didn’t
budge and inch when I crash-landed. He just stayed standing with me leaning on
him. I blushed and got up on my feet. “I-I’m sorry. Please forgi--”
“My name is Noishe. I’m seventeen. Thank you for
your hospitality. When would you like me to leave?” He let the towel hang
lazily off his head, his silver hair still slightly dripping. My fathers
clothing fit nicely on him. A white tee and black sweatpants. They were
slightly baggy, but still looked nice.
I smiled up at him. “Not quite yet. When’s the last
time you ate?” The question just seemed to come out. Before he could give me an
answer, I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the kitchen. As soon as we got to
the kitchen, I let go of his hand. “It’s getting late, so you’re going to eat
dinner me.”
Are you sure you’re human?” Noishe asked, his
abnormal eyes looking me over. He took a step towards me.
I backed up. “W-What kind of a question is that?! Of
course I’m human…” My heart began to throb. Why was he getting so close? “What
else would I be? An angel? A demon?” I asked him sarcastically.
He lowered his voice to a whisper, his eyes sheened.
“It’s possible…” He mumbled under his breath. Out of nowhere he shot out his
hand and set it right on top of my left breast.
Immediately, almost out of reflex, I shoved him
away. “Pervert! You pervert!” I screamed. He fell onto his back and looked at
me in shock. “What the hell?! I offer you dinner, and you’re trying to get
something that’s obviously not food!” I shot my hands to my head in frustration
and glared at him. “Why?!”
He sat up, groaning as he did so, and looked at me.
“Your heart beat.” He said. I must have made a look of confusion because he
reached forward and grabbed my arm.
“What are you--” I stopped when he put my hand on
his chest where his heart is. I waited a few seconds…
…I felt nothing.
