You Won't Get Away with This [Budo x Ayano]

Chapter 2 // Progress?

Budo's POV
Never did I ever think I would be comforting a sociopathic murderer, but here I am. What she did was wrong, but I honestly don't think that's the real her.
If what she's saying is true then she has no control or understanding of the impact of her actions.
Taro gave her love, but she doesn't know how to deal with it. She's never had to before.
"Ayano, do your parents know?" I continued embracing her
"No.. possibly.. I don't know. I think my dad has his suspicions."
"Alright, is he home?"
"No. my parents are in America for 10 weeks."
"You're living alone?" I asked concerned
"I manage."
"Forget icecream. You're having dinner at my house tonight, and you can sleep over if it gets too late." I rubbed her arm to try to warm her up
"Budo you don't have to." she got a little more comfortable in my arms
"I know, I want to. The last thing you need right now is to be confused and alone. Anyway, you're cold, let's get you indoors."
"Budo.. why are you being nice to me?"
"I want to help you. There's more to you than meets the eye and I know it."
"I hope you're right."
"Excuse me you two, it's 6pm. You need to leave. Why are you in your gym uniforms?"
"Sorry Sensei, we were just training. We'll get going now." I lied, taking Ayano by the hand and leading her out of the school
"You really think he likes Shin?" she squeezed my hand a little
"I don't know, it was just an observation. I could be wrong."
"But you could be right." she looked down
"Don't think like that. Everything happens for a reason." I assured her
"That's dumb logic."
"Alright sassy señorita. But the logic works here." I laughed
"Whatever."

I grabbed my keys from my pocket and unlocked the door. I let Ayano in first and followed after her.
"You have a nice place Budo." Ayano looked around
"Thank you. Make yourself comfortable." I closed the door
"Welcome home hon- oh, we have company?" my mother asked
"Yeah, is that okay?"
"Of course! Welcome. Is this your girlfriend?"
"What? No! This is my friend Ayano."
"Nice to meet you.." she said shyly
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you. Stay as long as you like."
"Thank you ma'am." Ayano smiled. I led Ayano to my room and shut the door behind us
"I hope you don't mind me locking the door. My family tends to walk in a lot."
"That's okay." she said taking a seat on my bed

Ayano's POV
I sat on his bed and took a look around his room. It wasn't really what I had expected at all, although I had never really imagined it at all.
He had a computer, a TV, a bunch of music posters and some martial arts equipment. I saw a guitar in the corner too.
"Do you play?" I asked
"Yeah I do. I started learning before I even begun martial arts." he said taking off his jacket, shoes and unbuttoning his top shirt buttons
"I wish I could, but I'm not very musically gifted."
"I'll teach you some time, but we need to talk first." he said laying on the bed next to me
"Okay, I'm listening." I took my shoes and scarf off, laying down beside him on his bed
"Why do you kill people?"
"We've been through this, they want to steal my Senpai. But he can be mine and mine only." I clenched my fists
"No need to get mad, I'm just asking." he smiled rotating his body to face me
"I know.. instincts.. sorry." I sighed
"We can work on that later, I just need to know what you find attractive about him first."
"Why? What relevance does that have?" I turned to face him too
"Anything helps. What attracts you to him over other guys?"
"I don't know. All I know is that he was the first time I experienced emotions. It's addicting."
"So this doesn't affect you at all?" he started caressing my face gently
"Emotionally? Not really. But it feels nice."
"Nothing at all?" he moved closer to me, pulling me into an embrace while still caressing my face and pressing his warm lips against my forehead
"I mean.. kinda. But nobody has ever done this for me before."
"Progress." he smiled kindly
"You're nice Budo." I returned a calm smile
"Thank you. I think you are too, you just don't know it yet." he winked
"I hope you're right, Budo. What do I do?"

Budo's POV
"You need to show your Senpai that you're fucking amazing, and that HE should be begging on HIS knees for YOU. Not the other way around."
"I don't know.. I'm not good at that kinda thing." she yawned
"Just give it a shot, I'll help you every step of the way."
"And if it still doesn't work?" she rested her head on my chest, closing her eyes sleepily
"You're easily the most attractive girl at school, if he still doesn't notice you then clearly there's something wrong with him." I wasn't even lying
"What about that Saiko chick? Every guy at our school thinks she's fucking stunning."
"I wouldn't say every guy. Besides, they probably just like her because she's the daughter of the owner of Saiko."
"I guess." she sighed a little
"Go to sleep Ayano." I whispered, wrapping my arm around her
"But I'm your guest. I can't just fall asleep on you."
"You're tired, and I don't mind. Just go to sleep."
"Okay. Thank you Budo." she relaxed
"Sweet dreams." I kissed her forehead
