It's been 2 months since that incident

1 month since they started following me all the way home

2 weeks since they started breaking in

And 4 days since they have started leaving "gifts"

And 1 day since I started packing

Yep I'm leaving, my parents are gone they don't care they're probably out in vegas gambling away my collage funds I don't care it doesn't matter

Shuichis aunt and uncle were welcoming enough though we never told them we were together

But im scared, scared it will escalate further, scared because we have no idea who it is, just scared.

Timeskip

I let out a sigh, I didn't even realize I was holding my breath, as I leaned against the wall exhausted from folding clothing and putting it into suitcases as I stood up to go get shuichi to tell him I was done packing when-

Crash

I jumped at the sound "sh-shumai are you alright?" I called concern lacing my voice as I walked briskly to the kitchen where I found the window open and, no shumai

No shumai?!

My face twisted into fear, my eyes tingling as tears built up and my breathing hitched as I felt a strong arm wrap around me, not shumais arms, not soft, and warm, and welcoming, but instead strong and constricting like vine twisting around my neck

"Baby~"

Is all that was said.
