Kaito patiently gathered all the present males to accommodate in the living room. As Jin and Alex sat on each end of the room, glaring daggers at one another, Kaito waited for everyone to be present in order to declaim to them.
"What's all this about? Did something serious happen while we were gone?" Bako fell onto the couch and shot the awaiting boy an inquiring gaze.
"I simply wish to discuss something with all of you." The intellectual watched as each male settled down before beginning to speak in a serious and authoritarian tone. "I would like to discuss all your behaviours as of the past few days. I am very aware that each one of you had given (Y/n) a lot of stress for a while now, and I want to stress some concerns and persuasions with all of you." The listening audience exchanged a few unsure glances before immediately focusing back on the speaker. "You all know what you've done to the girl, and are aware that it causes her a lot of grief and paranoia to be around you."
The males' suspicions began edging their way into consciousness along with the pursuing guilt that followed the reminder of their actions.
"I've been under difficult consideration over my choice and I've kept my options open, but from what I've deducted and contemplated over, I believe I've come to a decision. From what I've seen, (Y/n) fears even the smallest encounters from every one of you." As the male's explanation progressed, his tone began to sweeten as though to slightly orchestrate the impact of his news, yet still maintaining an undertone of mockery at his won game. "And I honestly don't want to come to this resolution but I'm simply doing this for (Y/n)'s own good. You all want (Y/n) to feel safe and happy amongst her surroundings, right?" All the boys eagerly nodded at this. "You want her to stop avoiding you all, right?" Another round of agreeable motions were made. "You want her old, positive attitude back, right?"
A few of the boys gave him untrusting looks and scowls, "Where are you going with this?" Alex gave him a darkened expression before being returned with a scolding glare.
Kaito sighed out and put on a facade of saddened features. "I don't want to break this distressful news to you all, but I guess it cannot be helped." The boy straightened his appearance and looked to all of them with a fully serious tone. "I want to keep you all away from the girl."
"The f**k you will!" Bako jumped from his position, ready to throw the boy to the wall.
"Bako, settle down. I'll explain further if I have to." Kaito unflinchingly glowered at the raging male. Bako prepared to abrasively snap back at the male, before feeling a hand tugging him down to sit. Ryo disapprovingly shook his head, despite having his own distaste towards the sudden claim, and forced the angered boy to aggravatingly sit back down. "Since I can see this decision growing quite unpopular with the rest of you, I'm going to try and explain. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, but the girl can't stand being around any of you." There were grunts and growls of insult and anger being heard from around the room. "Don't make those damn noises, I should be the one responding like that. From what I've heard you all doing to her, I don't see what other choice there could be."
"What have you done to (Y/n)?" Alex glared at each one of them individually, watching their guilty and shamed expressions, raising his unstable temper.
"Settle down. I'm not mentioning what anyone has done here, but you all know how much at fault you are at. And (Y/n) knows the most. If you haven't noticed, there is a reason why she's been avoiding you all, and rightly so. She doesn't want a repeat of what each of you have done, and can't find any place she considers safe. That's why I want you all to keep your distance from her until she begins to feel guarded around you."
"And what role are you going to play? You seem to be the saint in all this." Bako tenaciously pointed out as his muscles flex and relax in preparation to strangle the boy for the rules he was placing.
"(Y/n) had no objection being around me. And someone has to keep a close eye on her if no one is to approach the girl...(Y/n) is scared of you, she doesn't want to be in your presence. I'm doing this for her, and what makes her feel comfortable. If you need to be upset at someone, be upset at her since she agreed to the conditions I'm placing down." Bako seethed as he bubbled with repressing annoyance. Kaito lowered his tone and took a breath to calm himself down before his nerves would snap. "I wouldn't be doing this if (Y/n) hadn't agreed with me, and I wouldn't even be mentioning it if you all had been acted reasonably."
The cobalt-eyed male held in his words of retort and looked around himself to see for any objections from the other boys. "Jin, you can't possibly think this is a good idea. You can't tell me that you approve of this." However, the brunet sat in contemplation before sighing in defeat.
"I want (Y/n) to be happy...I don't want her to be scared of me. So if it's needed, it's best she stayed away from us for now..." Jin squeezed his body into himself and soulfully looked to the floor. Bako let out an annoyed grunt before turning to the silent animal lover.
"Alex, you out of all people wouldn't allow this." The boy looked thoughtful for a split second before shooting an irritated glare towards the intellectual.
"I want to protect (Y/n). But I can't trust you with that. I can't allow you to keep her away from me." The artist triumphantly grinned at the agreement before turning to the blond male that had yet to speak.
"Ryo, come on man. You need to agree with me, this is ridiculous." However, the boy seemed hesitant on conforming with his friend's ideology.
"I don't want (Y/n) to hurt anymore...I don't want to hurt her anymore...I want her safe and sound...I want the best for my angel." The male curled up into a ball as he regretfully spoke out his mind as his friend's words echoed into his subconscious as a cruel reminder of his incompetent actions.
Bako clenched his jaw until his teeth began painfully pushing against his gums. "Where's Ren?! His vote will have to settle this." Kaito raised his hand in request to silence the boiling male.
"Ren is currently in the hospital due to a certain mishap that happened earlier on. Which is also the reason that sparked this whole idea. This is why I want to keep (Y/n) away from you all. Every little conflict you get into sparks into a bigger flame...and then (Y/n) is the one who gets burnt." The boys gave slightly confused glances as they looked amongst each other to confirm that they were hearings the same thing, while Jin quietly distanced himself from the recollection.
"What happened?" Ryo reverted back to his friend, before Kaito completely dismissed the subject.
"It doesn't concern you in any way. What happened, happened. I'm not delving further into this. But before I dismiss you all, I have another form of news to share, which will probably strike the most controversy amongst you , but I feel like this has been the best decision I could make." All the boys glanced towards the speaking intellectual and awaited for the other half of the announcement. "(Y/n) has agreed to come and live in my room for the time being."
"I'll f**king kill you!" Bako jumped up from his position to dart toward the teal-eyed boy and gripped him viciously on the collar. "Are you kidding with us or do you just want to have your skull cracked?!"
"Now hold on, I didn't know that you'll be keeping her literally in your room! That's going a bit far, don't you think?!" Ryo stood up from his spot to confront his friend and send him a scolding glare.
"I'll say it again. This was purely (Y/n)'s decision. I simply offered and did nothing to alter her resolution-"
"Bulls**t! I don't believe a f**king thing you say!" However, like clockwork, Kaito began grinning with a positive and smug smile, enraging the boy even more.
"Is it now? Then why don't you ask her yourself." Kaito looked towards the side, directing the boy's attention towards the kitchen where an intimidated form was lurking behind the doorway. Bako released the male from his hold and slowly approached the female with a pleased expression.
"(Y/n)! You're-" However, as the boy came nearer, (Y/n) quickly hid behind the doorway at his presence, making him halt in his approach.
"Please...just leave me alone, already..." Bako felt his heart numbing as his mind tried to work out his wrongdoing while his conscience jabbed against every fibre.
"(Y/n)...you can't honestly tell me you would go and move to this son of a b***h?!" He accusingly pointed towards the intellectual with disgust.
(Y/n) remained silent for a moment before looking away from his pleadings gaze and shaking her head. "I just want some time...please, just give me that." The azure male softened his features and relaxed his stand before grunting in frustration.
Kaito relished in his defeated expression, "After all, she wouldn't have to move if 'someone' hadn't broken her only means of security down." Bako grabbed his coat and stormed out of the house before his nerves could fully reach their limit.
The rest of the male's wordlessly sat in their positions, letting the silence engulf their reasonings and maintaining their focuses on the floor below, while the intellectual pleasingly looked on at his accomplishment.
"(Y/n) would you stop being stubborn and come to rest in bed." Kaito beaconed the girl towards him under the duvet.
"I told you, the floor is absolutely fine. Now please just leave me alone..." (Y/n) ignored his attempts to call her to join him on the mattress, and laid blankets and pillows out to create a makeshift bed on the ground. Kaito took a moment to stare at her before groaning and flipping himself on the bed with a purposefully pleased and relaxed exhale.
"It's very comfortable. So warm and soft, defiantly better than that harsh and rough ground." He gave her a simpering smirk only for her to turn her back on him as she settled into her sleeping position.
"Goodnight." She gave him final regards before closing her eyes, and subconsciously isolating herself from her surroundings.
The intellectual watched her unmoving form for a long while after she had settled into a slumber and grunted out his displeasure. 'Stubborn girl.'
As the female's eyes began moving against her closed lids, she calmly stirred around in her half unconscious state to roll her body over to a more comfortable position. Turning back, (Y/n) couldn't help but feel the irritable sensation of a warmth hitting her face like a tepid cloud. She continued to try and ignore it until it became an unbearable aggravating sensation and slightly opened her eyes to see what was causing this puff of temperature.
The girl's heart dropped as she stared directly into the dormant face of her roommate and discovered the waking annoyance to be his warm breath hitting her skin as her face was mere inches away from his. "WHAT THE-?!" She reflexively kicked the boy in the gut, immediately jolting him from his sleep and forcing him to clutch onto his pained stomach.
"God, what a wake up call..." He groaned out, feeling the pressure of a pillow that was launched at him.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! What are you doing on the floor with me?!" She sent another cushion flying in his direction, giving him a light hit as it contacted his vexed expression.
"You wouldn't come into bed so I switched the tables around-would you stop hitting me with those?!" He snapped out as a third pillow stroke him in on the shoulder.
"I never said you could do that! Never, ever come down and sleep next to me! How did you even get under the covers without me realising it?!"
"You're a heavy sleeper. So I took advantage of that and joined you on the ground." (Y/n) chucked another pillow towards him as she vented out her irking temper. "In any case, the boys will be going to school today."
The female prepared to direct another one of the soft, stuffed materials before she realised the claim he was making and stopped herself as her interest shifted towards a more concerning prospect. "So...they're all going to be gone for today." As the dawning realisation seeped in, (Y/n) gulped at the meaning behind the reminder as Kaito victoriously smirked.
"Correct. You'll be spending a few undisturbed hours with me." The girl dropped her sleeping support and felt a chill running up her back and spreading across her shoulders as she watched the pleased male smilling up at her. "Now let's play nice. It'll be more fun that way."
A/N:
Here's another piece of fanart I received quite a long time ago and it was such an awesome experience to see such a small detail in the story being drawn. So this is the art from Different_Delusions I believe...I'm pretty sure it is, but if I'm wrong, creator please feel free to correct me. In any case, it's so awesome to see the house being drawn since I know it can be quite hard to do such a difficult structure.
P.S: I know this chapter was quite underwhelming and short but I do guarantee a better chapter next time, so pardon me and I'll try harder for the upcoming chapter.
P.P.S: Sorry for these pesky author's notes since they can be quite a pet peeve to some people. Please feel free to ignore them and just concentrate on the brilliant drawings that come with these. ✣
