✞︎ "meow..."

"nemu..." y/n whispered as her knees slowly fell onto the ground.

she has never felt this... weak. it feels like her heart was being pressed and she's having a hard time breathing.

her cat's spirit is standing in front of her, beside her dead body.

her eyes welled up with tears. y/n tried stopping them to fall, but her head just started aching instead.

in the end, they all helplessly trickled down her cheeks as her heavy body slowly fell to the ground. with her arms and head on the floor, y/n started wailing like a little child in front of nemu.

"i'm sorry... i should've taken you home..." y/n cried and cried. her throat was dry, but she continued to apologize.

she has always felt that she was never good enough. now that her cat is gone, she never will be good enough. how could she even let something like this happen?

"you were pregnant..." y/n uttered, her voice cracking.

"meow..."

y/n slowly raised her head to see her cat, no matter how it pains her to see nemu gone.

nemu meowed and rubbed herself on the sobbing lady, even when her body passed through y/n. she then revealed 3 more kittens hiding behind their mother.

it only burnt y/n's eyelids more. she just lay down on the floor while bawling her eyes out. she couldn't care less if people would hear. she doesn't care if people would see. the pain was eating her that she couldn't care less anymore.

y/n kept blaming herself. and amidst her cries were the meows of the felines who seem to be trying to calm her down.

she just doesn't know anymore.

"i'm so sorry..." y/n whispered.

nemu meowed while gently slapping her paw in the air before she ran back to her body.

y/n slowly stood up and followed the cat despite her jelly knees.

"i can't look..." she mumbled with her eyes shut.

"meow..." nemu stood up, reaching her paws to y/n before she pointed her body again.

"i'll give you a proper b-burial. for you and your children."

y/n rubbed her eyes before she took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears away. fortunately, she has tissues in her pockets, so she also blew her snot. cute.

"w-wait." y/n mumbled and glanced at the dead cat's body.

"it's impossible for her to just die like this." y/n whispered. "s-someone must've done... this..."

"someone..."

y/n stood up there while looking at her feet, with her hair covering her face. her hands slowly turned into fists after she realized something.

it was my fault.

"someone must've done this to you because of their anger towards me." y/n muttered. "it was my fault."

"i'm sorry, nemu. i didn't mean to drag you into my mess too."

"i'm sorry," y/n whispered to nothingness while biting her lower lip.

she was cut out of her deep thoughts when she felt a stinging pain.

"ah." y/n mumbled and touched her lip, only for her to feel the same pain again.

her lip was bleeding.

she used her handkerchief to wipe the blood off before she hid it back in her pocket. y/n then didn't even think twice and went to nemu's body to pick it up.

despite its pungent smell, y/n still carried nemu and placed her in her box. she then skimmed nemu's body to see if there were implications.

there was nothing so y/n looked around to see— maybe a clue to nemu's death.

"if she wasn't stabbed... she can't be thrown off. cats always land on their fours." y/n mumbled before her eyes met a small rock nearby.

"nemu... were you hit by a rock?" y/n almost whispered.

of course, the cat wouldn't answer. nemu just rubbed herself on y/n.

"you certainly are," y/n mumbled, fighting the disgust she felt when she saw nemu's head.

y/n just lowered her head to the box. it doesn't matter if nemu's body smelled. she kept apologizing to the cat until she was out of breath.

and she will continue doing so until her throat is broken.

"i swear, the back of the school is just the right area to eat if the rooftop is locked." yugo excitedly said.

"the rooftop isn't locked though." sonny pointed out.

"wait." alban stopped. his arms were blocking the four men behind him, making them stop as well.

"yes?"

"it smells at the back of the school." alban complained with his unpaintable face.

"pfft— you look funny." yugo whispered.

"it's true though. it smells like a dead rat or something." uki said. "what do you guys think?"

the five of them were immediately brought into silence as they slowly heard someone chanting near the area. the sound, of course, terrified them.

until they identified that it was actually an alive lady saying her sorries all over again and again.

"who's there?!" alban exclaimed.

"wow. not even us were that loud." sonny said, talking about him and his troops from the future.

y/n immediately glanced to where she heard the familiar voice. "w-who are you?!"

"don't laugh." fulgur said and smacked his bread at alban after they heard y/n's voice cracking.

the five of them slowly went to where they heard her.

"leto-senpai..?" sonny called.

y/n flinched. of course she would. the moment she met sonny, she was programmed to flinch under his gaze.

"senpai?! are you alright?!!" alban asked and immediately rushed to her. everyone did, actually.

"y-you don't have to come any closer! its s-smells... here..." y/n said, but her words slowly turned into a mumble.

"it does. what is this smell?" fulgur asked while they were all covering their noses.

"i'm sorry..." y/n whispered before she showed them the box.

the sight that welcomed them was something they least expected. their faces scrunched up in horror, disbelief, and pain, all in one.

"senpai..."

"oh god. did you hold it? here." uki said and pulled her up.

"y-you don't have to touch me. i still need to wash my hands." y/n said without even looking at the guys. "thank you."

"senpai..." alban mumbled.

the phantom thief slowly went on his knees before sticking his open palms together in front of nemu. the other guys glanced at themselves and nodded, before copying alban.

they were praying for nemu's death.

"you..." tears brimmed down y/n's cheeks again, so she had to wipe them before they see it.

"we'll give them a proper burial. don't worry, senpai." alban said with a genuine smile.

"thank you... you guys didn't have to."

"h-however." y/n cleared her throat. "i'm planning to find out who did this. until then, please don't tell anyone about her death."

"wait." sonny spoke up, but it made y/n flinch again.

"okay, okay, i'll do the speaking." fulgur said with a little chuckle. "senpai, what about akuma-senpai and the others?"

"i... i don't know..."

i don't want them to think that i'm not good enough to take care of a cat. if they find out about this... they'll think i'm just as incapable of taking care of the club.

i don't want them to leave me.

"...pai...! sen... senpai...!"

y/n has again flinched when sonny suddenly yelled at her. her eyes started swelling again as she looks up at him.

"n-no, we were just calling you— p-please don't cry, i didn't m-mean to...."

"sonny, you're doing a very bad job right now and i think someone has to remind you of that." uki sassily said.

"we understand if you don't want us to tell them." fulgur said. "it's the least we can do for keeping our secret."

"if you want, we can even help you find who did this!" yugo also said.

"yeah! we have a commander with us, you know?" alban said and laughed while patting the crying sonny's back very hard.

"r-really..? thank you so much." y/n said and bowed.

"i appreciate it but..."

"the only reason why this happened to nemu was because of me." y/n confessed. "a lot of people don't like me and their hate grew when i became closer with shu and the guys. they did this to nemu because they knew i cherish her so much."

"i-i don't want you guys to get caught up with me too. you must've heard how shu and the others were hated now because of me. i don't want the same thing to happen to you. you're still in your second year and you still have another school year to suffer if you get involved with me." y/n explained thoroughly and gently.

"senpai..."

fulgur raised his hand not so high up.

"i don't care." he said and placed her hand down. "the senpais ignored their reputation and still became friends with you. and the reason they did that is because you're the opposite of what people say about you. leto-senpai, they became your friends because they like you."

"and we do too."

y/n just stared at them. alban and uki's odd pair of eyes were enticing. yugo's eyes were like magic sucking her in. fulgur's eyes were like reading her in the most comfortable way, and sonny's eyes...

sonny's eyes aren't as scary as he seems to be.

"fulgur is right. let us help you, leto-senpai." uki also joined in. "we don't care about what others think."

"we only..." sonny mumbled before his eyes widened. "care about..."

the five's eyes widened as they all stare at y/n.

from the innocent look of anticipation written on her face, her gaped lips shaped like a cat's, her faltering yet curious eyes...

"we only care about what you think, senpai..." sonny managed to say.

she's so cute?! the five thought in unison.

welp. welcome to the y/n supremacy club, boys.

there was nothing but adoration in their eyes as they stared at y/n for a whole minute straight.

"l-let's get you washed up, senpai!" yugo spoke up first despite him stuttering a lot.

they all followed y/n to the faucet so she could wash the stench out of her skin. it was a good thing that there was a soap by the side too.

"do you wear makeup, leto-senpai?" uki excitedly asked. "i can do your makeup so we can hide the swelling of your eyes!" he said with his eyes twinkling.

uki was also washing his hands, so while the four guys were eating, uki was being fed by fulgur.

"they're swelling..? ah... i hope they won't notice..." y/n mumbled while scrubbing her skin hard.

"oh no," she mumbled after she came to a realization.

"s-shoto... shoto will possibly search for nemu... what do i do?"

"what's taking her so long? i was trying not to eat the pudding so i can give it to her..." luca said with a pout while slapping the pudding with his spoon.

"just eat that. i'll give her my pudding." vox said. luca cheered and ate the free pudding the school gave.

"i'm a bit worried. did something happen again?" ike asked. "ah! what if someone bullied her again?!"

"chill, ike. i don't even think her classmates have moved on from your threat last week." shu said with a chuckle. "maybe she went to the librarian?"

"with her bento here? i don't think so." mysta said, pointing the bento at the side that they failed to notice. "i'm worried too... should we search for her now?"

"shu's right. you guys should chill. y/n might get strangled if we keep following her wherever she goes. we just knew her for a week." luca stated.

despite it being a joke, luca made a point.

"yeah... we're acting like her lovers... god." ike ran his palms through his face. "i feel so uneasy though."

"here, have my pudding, ike. i was saving it for y/n too, but you can have it."

"thanks shu, but i had enough sugar yesterday."

"i'll take the pudding!"

✞︎ "sensei— i mean, senpai!"

the five transfers have decided who to send to the cafeteria to get y/n's lunch while they all stay on the rooftop.

uki is fixing y/n's eyes, so he can't go.

alban doesn't seem to be on good terms with mysta for whatever reason that is— maybe because of their past jobs.

and vox totally, undoubtedly, hates fulgur from the shoto (bottom) of his heart.

so they sent their most harmless friends; yugo who is an acquaintance of ike, and sonny who is everyone's sunshine.

"ah, yugo. sonny." ike greeted.

"no." yugo immediately said and held sonny's hand when he saw him take a pair of handcuffs out of nowhere.

"he's that dedicated to imprisoning you." mysta said to luca.

"we're here to take leto-senpai's bento. she's eating with us on the rooftop." sonny said.

that made the five of them smile. although they all had different meanings.

"aww. that's cute, sonny." vox said. "but y/n is too scared of you, sonny. you think we'd believe she's eating lunch with you?"

"hey. don't be a bully." ike scolded. vox just snickered while shaking his head.

"yugo. you won't lie to me. is y/n really with you?"

yugo nodded. "uki's giving her a little make up too."

"okay. take the bento."

"thank you, eveland-senpai!" yugo and sonny said in unison, also with a smile, before they scurried away with y/n's bento.

"aww they're so cute," ike mumbled with a smile on his lips.

"i'm following." mysta stood up.

"mysta no."

"what ike said. let y/n be with them if she wants to." shu said. "and besides, we're observing them, aren't we?"

mysta just groaned and went back to his seat.

"w-wow uki... i look like i have a phone filter on..." y/n said while staring at herself with a hand mirror.

"you've always looked pretty, senpai. i just made you a little prettier." uki happily said.

"thank you." y/n softly said. and now her smiles are more genuine.

"it's just a year gap. what could possibly go wrong— ow! i'm just kidding!" alban exclaimed after fulgur hit him with his book.

"senpai. do you read mangas?" fulgur asked and sat beside y/n.

"nope. sorry..."

"really?! you should try reading one! here, have t—!"

"no! no, fuu-chan. no." uki immediately said. "ignore him, senpai. he'll just taint your innocent mind."

"leto-senpai! we're back!"

"ah. thank you, yugo. sonny." y/n said and took her bento from the blue-haired.

"you're welcome, senpai." sonny replied. no matter how hard they both tried, y/n still flinched under his gaze.

"don't mind." yugo said while giving sonny a shoulder pat.

y/n ate pretty well with the five. at least she's not feeling nervous around them anymore. it's just that... well... it's different with ike and the others.

and sonny is still scary.

"w-would you guys like to have some?"

"don't mind if we do!" alban and yugo said in unison, already sitting in front of y/n with their imaginary tails wagging.

y/n shared her lunch with the five. they made a few jokes while eating and avoiding fulgur to say anything about his ero-mangas any further.

"senpai." alban called. "when will we talk about who did it?"

alban was brave enough to ask the lady about it. but they all knew they had to talk about it sooner or later.

y/n nodded. "w-we can talk about it in the club room. i'll inform the others that we'll have no club activities today."

"ah. but i still have to buy a few supplies outside..." y/n mumbled to herself.

"cleaning materials, right? i'll come with you, senpai." uki volunteered with a smile.

ah, y/n. it seems like you were forgetting something. but who am i to interfere?

"r-really?"

among the five transfers, she was the most comfortable with uki. come to think of it, it was just like shu when she first met him.

what's up with her and purple-haired guys?

"waaait." alban then said. "i think it would be better iffff uki stays!"

"while leto-senpai is gone, we can discuss who could be who in the club room. don't fret, we're reliable detectives." fulgur said and winked. "however, we'll need uki's wits."

"yep. come with sonny instead, senpai!" alban chirped.

"hey, that's actually a great idea!" yugo seconded.

"yeees, so leto-senpai and sonny could hang out together! yay!" fulgur said. but their sunshines were already trembling in fear while imagining what they were talking about.

"wait, isn't sonny supposed to stay because he was a commander?" y/n asked.

OH GOD PLEASE I'LL DIE DON'T LET ME GO WITH HIM i mean he's cute and all but PLEASE NO I'LL CRY. y/n begged deep inside her mind.

"what? pffftt!! this commander is the type of commander who attacks and never listens to his comrades—"

"hey!"

"so we'll be fine without him for the meantime!" alban said and snickered nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan~

"and besides. if you're in trouble, sonny can solve it for you. either with his fists or his... well, fists. so you'll be better with him." fulgur convinced. "sounds good?"

the two couldn't just do anything but nod.

"great!"

"way to go in making me look bad, alban." sonny sulked in a low voice.

"thank you, you five." y/n spoke after a few minutes of silence. "without you guys i'd honestly..."

"don't know what to do with myself." y/n mumbled.

"it's actually nice to know some people from the lower years. i didn't know." y/n stated and giggled. "maybe this was what my senpais felt like when they took me under their care. it's also nice having new faces around."

"i'm making friends again..." she spoke out loud while staring at the skies.

the five were more than glad that y/n is starting to slowly open up to them. they would be lying if they say they weren't nervous about getting her to like them.

it feels like y/n's validation matters the most, and they don't even know why.

"then, i'll get going!" y/n said and stood up. "i'll see you at the club room at club time."

"y-yes, senpai!"

y/n went out of the rooftop. right after she closed the door, she felt the need to rest her legs again.

she just leaned on the wall and stared at the ceiling. she slowly closed her heavy eyelids and threw all the care she has for the world.

y/n then felt the same stinging pain on her lips. taking out her tongue a little bit, she tasted that metallic liquid again.

she just let it be. she's not gonna die losing a bit of blood.

hearing someone's steps made her a little bit agitated. but the school has announced that the rooftop is off-limits, so she doubts that the person is off towards where she is.

the steps got louder, making her sweat, and eventually... she became afraid of opening her eyes.

she knew where that person is now. the owner of those steps is definitely in front of her.

and it was too late for her to open her eyes when she felt a pair of lips on top of her bleeding ones.
