AN:// O: I just remembered that you can’t read Japanese script. Let’s just say that Mephisto realized you were of foreign tongue and wrote it in English.

 

“What do you mean by ‘lose me to Mephisto’?!” you say, blushing furiously. “I just met you, Rin!”

“I know that, ____.” Rin mumbles, head low, “Call it love at first sight or just pure jealousy, I don’t want to see you arm-in-arm with that creep!” you don’t know how to respond to this correctly. Should you stay silent and wait for him to calm down..? Tell him off..? Accept his feelings..?

You grab Rin’s arm, staring deeply into his flame-blue eyes, smiling warmly, “My heart will always be open for you, Rin. And even if I my heart does end up belonging to Mephisto or anyone else, I will never forget you.” you put his forehead on his, “Never...”

“...Promise?” he whispers.

“Yes, Rin.” you break from the contact, “I look forward to when I can see you again.” a warm feeling bubbles in your chest and blood rushes to your face. He smiles and takes your hand.

“Let me at least walk you to your new room, _____. So, where is it you live?” you giggle, you already know how he’ll react.

“It’s next to Yukio’s future room~” you say comically. He laughs.

“No really.”

“I’m not lying Rin. Next to Yukio’s room.” you snicker quietly, “Maybe I should take that opportunity to, how do I say this,  get to know him more, if you know what I mean, heheh.” teasing Rin is still extremely amusing, you laugh maniacally to add to your sarcastic comment.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ‘GET TO KNOW HIM MORE’?!”

“Hah! I’ll never get tired of teasing you, Rin! Oh, but I think we’re here.” you look for the key Mephisto gave you in your pockets when you finally take it out. “This is goodbye, Rin.” you state quietly, disappointed.

“So it is, ____...” Rin sounds disappointed too... You start feeling pity for him.

“I’ll visit the monastery whenever I’m out. Which means tomorrow!” you wink. “But, um,” you pull Rin into a hug, patting him lightly on the back. “I... I’ll miss you Rin...” you mutter, quiet enough for no one to hear, yet just loud enough for Rin. You can feel his face tug into a smile.

“I can’t wait.” he gives you a peck on the cheek, and, blushing furiously, he quickly walks away, hands in his pockets. You rub the spot where Rin kissed you, which was warmer than the rest of your face. I’ll have to scold him for that tomorrow... but you couldn’t think of bringing yourself to yell at him. He’s such a sweet young man.

You take the key in hand and unlock the door. It creaks open and you see a small room, very similar to Rin’s, with a desk facing the window. Instead of a lone bed, there was a bunk bed, of which you hated. You lock the door behind you and go to the bathroom. You cleaned up considerably since this afternoon, but your body was still like a stick. You sigh and make your way to your bed.

Because you didn’t have anything to wear to sleep, and not wanting to wrinkle the shirt Kotomi had given you, you neatly fold your clothes and place them by the bottom bunk until you were in only your underclothes. The door’s locked so no one could get in right..?

You roll lazily into the bottom bed and gently place the blankets over yourself. It surely was a refreshing change of pace, to be back in a bed. And before you know it, you drift off into a long sleep.

 

**The Next Day**

You yawn and get out of bed. You impulsively rub your neck and shoulders, which, to your surprise, didn’t ache; it brought a wide smile to your face as you looked out the window.

It was sunny, not a cloud in the sky, a perfect day to meet Rin. You missed him so much, it hurt. Rolling out of bed, you notice a note half-slipped into the door crack. Folding it in half, it read:

Good morning, _____. I didn’t want to wake you up. I hope you had a good first night and I would like to greet you. I’m waiting in the cafeteria, downstairs to the left. There, will be breakfast and I will explain what I would like you to do as my assistant. After that, you may gather the articles of clothing I have written for you.

-Mephisto Pheles.

You find yourself laughing gently, only again proving the fact that you were surrounded by genuinely kind people. You roll out bed, extremely tired. A cool breeze hits your legs, causing you to shiver. You still were in nothing but your panties and bra, so it would only be natural to be cold. You almost trip over the clothes you had laid out the day before, which almost seem comical considering it was a small and thin pile. In a hurry to not keep Mephisto waiting, you slip into your clothes and make your way downstairs. You see that there’s commotion outside, and with curiosity being your fatal flaw, you couldn’t help but find out the source.

There was a small maroon car with baggage inside it. You see Yukio, assuming that it was his day to move in. He finds you and greets you with a smile, opening the car door, “Good day, Miss (last name).” he bows his head slightly, “How have you been?”

You shrug, “It’s only been one night Mr. Okumura. You act like you haven’t seen me in years. But still it’s nice to see you doing well.”

“Same to you, miss.” he looks back at the car as if he was hiding something, “I’m sorry if I come on too strong but... Did something happen between you and Rin last night?” and almost instantaneously, your calm and quiet demeanor become one replaced with protectiveness and anger.

“What’s wrong with Rin?!”

“I guess it’s safe to assume that something did indeed happen.” he says scratching the back of his head.  “Let’s make a deal, ____. You tell me what happened last night and I’ll tell you why Rin’s too upset to go to school.” he grins and offers you a hand to seal the deal. You furrow your eyebrows and stare at the hand. This could be blackmail, what went on last night was completely private and Yukio had no business knowing it. But still... Rin... Something’s wrong with him.

You were reluctant to say it, but you did eventually. You scoff and say, “Tell no one.” blood’s rushing to your cheeks. “I wasn’t sure what happened myself, but I think Rin told me he didn’t want to let go of me... Ever,. And when I told him I was moving here, it was almost like he couldn’t stand the thought of seeing me in another man’s arms and exploded at me. He was reminiscing of the when I told him not to leave me... And somehow, I got Rin to calm down, so he walked me to my new dorm. Which, by the way, is right by yours! But anyways, I told him how much I would miss him, hugged him tightly, and he might’ve took it as a sign. He gave me a peck on my cheek and quickly walked away. He may be questioning his feelings. And maybe even mine.”

Yukio scratches his chin, furrowing his brow, “That is a good reason to become isolated... Do you think you could talk to him? He misses you so...”

“Well...I’m meeting with Mephisto now and I don’t want to keep him waiting. When I go out to do his errands, I’ll make sure to stop by the monastery.”

He smiles at you, “That’s good to hear, _____.” he looks to the cement, “My name is Yukio Okumura. It’s nice to get to know you. I look forward to it.” flustered, he presents you his hand.
