Mafia AU Komahina: COFFEE + BULLET

CHAPTER 19 - DIFFERENCES

"G-good morning Chiaki-san." I smiled nervously. 

'Is it alright for me to come out of my room?'

She yawned and rubbed her eyes for a good few seconds and looked back to her game. 
"Good Morning." she replied in a languid manner.

She doesn't seem like she had sleep last night. Considering I haven't seen her leave on her post before I slept.  

"Uh..Are you alright?" I asked.

"Mhm..." She nodded and slowly closed her eyes and doze off in a few seconds. 

'She fell asleep that quickly?!'

I looked at her state, making me contemplate whether to just stay in my room and let her rest or ask her to show me around the building.

She snapped back  and seems like she has woken up from a dream.

  "...Ahh, Sorry. I was getting a little sleep"

'While you were standing? Impressive'

"Have you been outside my room the whole night?"

She shook her head sideways and smiled at me. "Maids took turns to watch over your door last night. However, when I'm gaming I tend to forget about sleeping. Sometimes I even forget to breath."

'that's not good!'

"Plus, I keep having nightmares. I had a bad dream the other day so I've been a little scared."

"Can I ask what kind of dream you had?"

"Well, I'll tell you about it while I show you around the building. Let's head to the cafeteria first to get you some breakfast." She smiled and beckoned me to follow her.

NAGITO'S POV

I woke up from a sharp sting on my chest and winced when I tried to roll on my side on the bed. 

'wait? ...-bed? I don't recall sleeping in my bed last night..'

 A surge of panic rise up my body as I immediately sat up and tried to take in my surroundings as I looked around. 

"...I'm.. in my room?" I felt my throat a bit dry as I spoke.

I looked at my wrist with an IV cannula attached to a dextrose and felt a tinge of pain whenever I breath. I felt the bandages on my chest using my hand, making me hiss from the sharp pain.

Slowly I began to remember what happened in the Mansion. I was shot, after warning Hajime not to come close to the area where bullets are fired from all directions, which ended up having him to kill the person who shot me. That time, I wasn't so sure if I saw his eyes turned blood red for a brief moment or it was just my eyes playing tricks on me after getting shot. But one thing I was sure of that time... I felt an intense blood lust coming from him.
