(COMPLETED) [My R] [Shu x Lui]

Chapter 2

Lui and Shu stayed silent as the video continued, both fear and curiosity at the thought of what could have happened that day.

"Just as I was about to take my shoes off on the rooftop there I see a boy with blonde hair here before me. Despite myself, I go and scream, 'Hey, don't do it, please!' Woah, wait a minute, what did I just say? I couldn't care less either way. To be honest, I was somewhat pissed. This was an opportunity missed. The boy with blonde hair told me his woes. You've probably heard it all before."

"I really thought that he might be the one." Came a different voice. "But then he told me he was done."

"For God's sake, please! Are you serious? I just can't believe that for some stupid reason you got here before me. Are you upset cause you can't have what you wanted? You're lucky that you've never gotten robbed of anything!" You could hear something in their voice. Whether that was pure emotion or just the voice changer, it was hard to know.

"I'm feeling better, thank you for listening."

"The boy with blonde hair then disappeared. I didn't bother jumping after that. I couldn't. I'll do it tomorrow." The video ended, and they both stared at the phone as the video repeated itself, a tense, uncomfortable silence coming over them. How to process what they just watched...

"Any ideas?" Shu murmured before clearing his throat and looking at Lui, who just stood there, frozen. After a second or two, he shook his head.

"Not a clue. But someone is on the brink of death." He said, his eyes staying on his phone screen as it started to dim.

"What does the caption say?" Shu asked

"My R." They both shared a confused glance.

"What does that mean?" Shu tilted his head to the side, crossing his arms.

"I have no idea, but I'm gonna call Gabe back," Lui replied, dialling Gabe's number and putting the phone to his ear. Shu took out his phone and checked his Instagram. Sure enough, the same person had followed him. He rewatched the video, trying to see if he could find any clues, but nothing. So instead, he decided to see what "My R" meant.

The only thing that came up repeatedly was "My Reflection". Shu stared at it, confused. "What does it mean...?"

"What does what mean?" Lui asked, and Shu looked up to see Lui staring at him.

"I searched up 'My R' to see what it means, and the only thing that came up was 'My Reflection', and I don't understand how it ties in, or what it means," Shu told him, his eyes skimming over the article that he was reading. "What did Gabe say?"

"Everyone's meeting up tomorrow and sharing information we have. Until then, we've got to figure out as much as we can by ourselves." Lui scowled, mumbling afterwards "I can't believe I'm stuck with you of all people."

"I heard that!" Shu growled, glaring daggers at the shorter boy.

"I guess it could be worse. At least you have half a brain, unlike Aoi. I feel sorry for whoever got stuck with him." Shu rolled his eyes, but then pondered it for a moment.

"I wonder who Valt did get paired with. He would gladly go with anyone. The only person that he has a particular dislike for, that I know of, is you." Shu narrowed his eyes at Lui, who shrugged.

"Probably with Xander. Those two have the same problem." Lui's eyes went back to his phone, and Shu sat down on the floor next to the stadium.

"Why are we meeting tomorrow?" Shu asked, his eyes trained on the floor.

"What?" Lui asked, and Shu could feel his eyes on him.

"Why aren't we meeting up tonight? Why are we risking waiting until tomorrow?" Shu looked up from the floor, meeting Lui's gaze.

"It's 10 pm, Kurenai. What do you expect us to do?" Lui cocked an eyebrow

"I don't care whether it's 10 pm or 1 am, someone's life is on the line. Why risk it?" Shu gave him an irritated look, which was returned with a sigh.

"We're doing what we can with what we have, whether you like it or not. Deal with it, Kurenai." Lui walked to the opposite end of the room and sat down. And with that, they once again fell into silence.
