Recently an announcement has been made by the school principal to evacuate the school premises as the police suddenly arrived to investigate a crime scene. You wondered on what had happened to make the police appear at your school, and thus the principal announced the passing of a young male student, named 'Araki.' Since the school closed down for today, Itsuki offered to walk you, back to your apartment without Hisashi as he's nowhere to be seen.

You disliked Araki's actions but have never wished a person to die, you felt ashamed for laughing earlier at him with Itsuki about the karma that he'll be getting. But you wondered, who on earth would kill Araki? Unless... You turned your attention to Itsuki.

No! There's no way he'd kill anyone, let alone hurt them to near death. That's what you thought. But who could it be?

"(Y/N)! Itsuki!" You turned around along with Itsuki to see a tired and panting Hisashi as he catches his breath.

"Sweet Jeysusz, Hisashi! Where've you been?" Itsuki asks, with concern.

"I was sleeping on the yard, then all the sudden I heard those loud sirens and the principal screaming to evacuate the vicinity. What was that all about?" Hisashi scratches his head in confusion.

"Someone had killed Araki at the toilet, I heard that his dick was cut off before cracking his skull." Itsuki explains to Hisashi, who shrugged in disgust, of what he'd just heard.

"Yeouch! Sounds like an episode from 1000 dumb ways to die. Except it's staring Araki!" Hisashi compared it to one of those dumb TV shows, making the three of us laugh in harmony at such a stupid conversation. Although I felt awful at laughing at Araki with this somewhat comedic conversation as we walked together back to our places.

Earlier at school, you remembered the most awkward feeling you've felt, that you had to share it with Hisashi and Itsuki. "Hey guys, this morning in P.E, I saw this weird hooded boy from a distance watching me, I also think that he was recording me with his phone too. He definitely gave me a creepy grin when I saw him!"

"Really!? I'll beat his sorry ass when I find him, just give me the details and I'll take care of him!" Itsuki cracks his knuckles as he's irritated, at who've not been filming me.

"I-I would help t-too.... But I'm no good at fighting." Hisashi agrees with Itsuki, but was ashamed that he's useless in combat.

You've experienced training with Hisashi before, he's not athletic and he's much more of a 'couch potato.' There was that one time that you managed to beat Hisashi at an arm wrestling and pretty much, any type of sports. Although Hisashi is the best when it came to video games, that's where he's unbeatable at.

"Thanks guys, but I can't say much about the creep's description. He was too far away for me to see him, especially with his hood up, clouding his identity.But I think he had red eyes that glowed dangerously." You did your best at providing information.

"(Y/N) I'm worried for you. What if that creep was the one that murdered Araki. What if his next target happens to be you?" Itsuki spoke to you, with sadness in his face. You could see that he's very worried about you.

"Don't worry too much about it Itsuki-kun. I'll be a-okay!" You gave him a thumbs up, as well a fake smile just to make Itsuki's worry disappear. Deep down you're actually scared and worried that you might be next. Now the trio continued to walk together back home.

Hisashi stretches his arms upwards, while releasing a long yawn. "Well this is the part we go our separate ways, my house is right around the corner." Hisashi took a right turn, Itsuki and you waved goodbye to him. Soon Itsuki had escorted you to your apartment and you were a your front door.

"Well this is it, I guess I'll see you tomorrow? That is IF the school is opened." Itsuki took your key and opened the door for you.

"If the school's closed we should go out together!"

"That's great, and uhh... (Y/N), please be careful. I don't want to lose you." His voice sounding brittle, as he worried for your safety. Not to mention that his facial expression showed how he's currently feeling, seeing this you gave Itsuki a sweet caring hug which made him gasp. You look up to the tall red haired boy who is blushing from the hug.

"I'll be fine Itsuki-kun! Please. Trust me."

"O-okay (Y/N). Take care and goodbye." Just before Itsuki left, you grabbed his face and planted a kiss on his cheek, making Itsuki's eyes widened in delight and blushed even madder.

"I- Uh... I'll be going now!" Without a moment, Itsuki made haste and left you at your apartment. Although you couldn't understand why he left in such a hurry with his face all red.

*****

I ran as fast as I can after (Y/N) kissed me on the cheek. My breath is all ragged up after that, I didn't expect her to be that caring. "Okay. Calm down Itsuki. Calm down." I took some breathing exercises to relax myself before finally thinking. So why? Why is my heart beating so fast whenever she shows affection to me? Is there something special with (Y/N) that I'm fond of? Why am I so worried about her than I should be?

It took me a couple of moments before finally realizing, my mouth was agape wide open in shock. "Oh my gods... I think I'm in love with (Y/N)!" I shouted out loud in surprise.

Thus Itsuki's feelings have been revealed, knowing why he felt so uncomfortable and why he kept blushing whenever (Y/N) shows affection. But little did he know, someone was watching him from a distance. The Stalker had heard everything, "Hmmm~ So! You love (Y/N)? Too bad I can't share her with you Itsuki, so I'll just have to you soon!" The Stalker who is hidden in the shadows backed off, thinking of a plan how to get rid off Itsuki, while he laughed like an evil genius with his red eyes glowing.
