Kokichis pov

I hear foot steps behind me and immediately tense up, the soft crackling of leaves under my followers feet

I take a deep breath, rummaging through me coat pocket for my pepper spray

Snap

...is that a camera? I whip my head around to see purple hair turn a corner as the realization hit me

That's not shuichi

I start running since the cafe shuichi works at is down the street as I hear loud foot steps behind me they had to be a good bit taller than me so i do the only thing I know my small weak frame can do

I start running in different directions going from the left to right side of the street

Im small so this is fairly easy to do but they were fast

Really fast

I saw the sign and immediately burst through the doors, the few patrons in the shop stared as I huffed and puffed for air going up to the counter and seeing a concerned shuichi already telling his boss he has to leave early

"Shu -huff- ichi" before i could finish the sentence tears streamed down my cheeks less from fear and more the adrenaline

I stared sobbing and begging him to walk me home and he obliged and walked me home

-time skip-

After explaining what happened he was mad I had never seen him so angry and he refused to leave my side until I was left alone

I lived alone so shuichi had me stay with his uncle and aunt until this was sorted out so I was never alone and would walk me everywhere

It would be cute to see him so protective if I wasnt being stalked
