~Time Skip~

Another day, another session to attend to. It's now officially 3 months into their daily classes. Kira has perfected a daily routine for himself. His life is now on a steady rise to being normal again. He doesn't know how long he has left being in this facility but he knows it's still a long time from now. Kira finally got himself up and ready for the morning after a few times. Kira left his room and headed to the cafeteria. Something felt a bit off to Kira though. He wasn't sure if it was him not being able to do his entire day routine or if he didn't get enough sleep, but something was definitely off. He felt eager or anxious to see someone or something. As Kira climbed up the stairs he tried to assess this feeling. He then made it to the cafeteria without noticing. He shoved himself out of his thoughts and made his way into the noisy cafeteria. Kira grabbed himself something small to eat and headed to his group table.

"Ah, good morning Kira." Akira greeted.

"Hello and good morning." Kiecho said. Terunosuke simply waved.

"Good morning, everyone." Kira responded.

"Hi there!" Doppio said.

"Oh, you joined us today." Kira said. Doppio nodded and smiled. Kira sat down and began eating.

"Hey Kira, have you seen Diavolo around this morning?" Akira said.

"Hm? Ah no I haven't. Why do your ask." Kira said.

"Oh, he's later than usual today. Normally he'd be here. I'm about to get called for my session." Akira explained.

"Hm, yea your right." Terunosuke said. Kira suddenly spoke.

"I'll go find him." Kira said standing up.

"Oh! Good luck! Don't be late to class!" Doppio said as Kira left. The blonde had no clue on why he wanted to find Diavolo. That odd feeling became stronger. He walked downstairs to Diavolo's room first. Once he reached the room he gently knocked on the door. He wait for a response... Nothing. Kira knocked again.

"Diavolo? Are you in there?" Kira asked.

"Um-Yea..." A muffled voice said from the room.

"Are you ok? Did something happen?" Kira asked.

" ... Kinda..." Diavolo said.

"Do you want to speak about it with me?" Kira said. Silence was heard until the door infront of him opened. A sleep deprived Diavolo appeared in front of Kira. The pink haired male looked like he had been crying for hours. He looked up at Kira with a tired expression. Kira grabbed onto Diavolo's hand and walked into the room, closing the door behind him.

"What's wrong, Dia?" Kira asked taking both of Diavolo's hand's in his.

"I couldn't sleep last night due to DIO and his group of followers... bullying me and trying to pull pranks..." Diavolo said. Diavolo never expected himself to share all that information. Normally he'd keep quiet and suffer in silence but something in his mind told him that it was ok to tell Kira.

"Ugh, that damn vampire. How long has this been on for?" Kira said.

"Since I got here..."

"Why didn't you tell me? I could've helped you."

"I don't know, I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, you didn't do anything." The two went quiet. Diavolo just wanted to hug Kira. He always felt safe around him. His heart would always flutter whenever Kira held his hand for a brief period of time. In thier silent moment, the intercom cut in.

"Group A, your class starts in 5 minuets. Please be at your meeting at 8 AM sharp."

"That's us we need to head to class, come on." Kira said. He let go of Diavolo's hands. Diavolo nodded and followed the blonde out of his room. They both headed upstairs to their meeting room. Once they arrived, they sat down together and listened to everyone's conversations.

"Gooooooooood Morning!" Sapphire said as she walked into the room. "Let's get started with today's lesson!"

The intercom chimed in with the announcement for lunch. Diavolo immediately stood and ran off. Kira stayed behind in the meeting room to speak with Sapphire.

"Excuse me, Miss Sapphire?" Kira called.

"Ah hm? Oh hey Kira, whatcha need from me?" Sapphire said.

"Diavolo told me recently that DIO and his group have been bothering him. Do you think you could speak to him? I would myself but I'm not willing to get myself in trouble." Kira explained.

"Yea! Of course, I'll speak to him. Thanks for telling me. Have a nice lunch!" Sapphire said. Kira waved back at Sapphire as he left the room. Kira headed upstairs and to the cafeteria to pick up lunch. He then headed to the staircase. Before going under the staircase, Kira checks around to make sure no one is around and watching. He then slips into the staircase. He sees Diavolo sitting in the corner of the area. He was curled up in a ball and he hid his face in his arms.

"Diavolo, I've arrived." Kira said trying not to starle Diavolo. The pink haired man lifted his head from his arms.

"Hey..." Diavolo greeted. Kira sat next to Diavolo on the floor and began eating his lunch.

"No lunch?" Kira simply questioned. Diavolo shook his head 'no'. "Do you want anything?" Diavolo nodded 'no'. They sat there in silence as Kira ate. Diavolo couldn't take his eyes off of Kira. He thought the blonde looked very nice. Diavolo scooted himself closer to Kira.

"K-Kira?" Diavolo suddenly called.

"Yes, Dia?" Kira responded. Diavolo's heart fluttered at the sound of the nickname.

"C-can I hug y-you?" Diavolo asked.

"Hm? Of course. Come here." Kira said holding his arms out towards Diavolo. The pink haired moved himself into Kira's arms. Kira wrapped his hands around Diavolo. This is the first ever time they've been close to each other. Diavolo's heart was prounding like crazy.

"T-Thank you..." Diavolo mumbled.

"For what?"

"For hugging me."

"No need to thank me. Your the only person who's allowed to hug me anyways." Diavolo's cheeks flared pink. That same feeling from last night returned to him! 'Oh god, Doppio must be so uncomfortable right now...' Diavolo thought. Eventually, Kira released Diavolo from the hug. Little did Diavolo know, Kira also happened to take a bit of feelings for Diavolo too. Kira didn't move himself completely away. He grabbed Diavolo's hand and held it in his. Diavolo's face shut up red. The two flustered vilians sat there, and held hands. It was strange but at the same time very comforting. Times like this are the best times for the two. All they ever want is a quiet life without any annoying things or people. The space under the staircase has only been discovered by them practically making it their own private space. The intercom then sounded.

"Group A and C your lunch time is over. Please return to your rooms."
