Stein's POV 

I watched as the last student walked out of my class and I got up before locking the door and going down to the Death Room. I opened the door and walked to the platform to discuss my feelings of uneasy ness with Lord Death.

"Hello, Stein. How are ya?" 

"Hello, Lord Death." 

He stopped for a moment. 

"Stein? Is everything alright?" 

I sighed lightly. 

"I have had a bad feeling since the arrival of Hisoka Kiyoshi." 

He tilted his head. 

"Oh? Is there a reason for this feeling?" 

I shrugged lightly and turned my gaze to the floor.

"Well?"

I looked up at him.

"It is the same feeling I had when Medusa was working here at the DWMA." 

He nodded as a small death mask shaped coffee table came out of the floor and we sat down. 

We discussed this over tea. 

"It seems to me like you are jealous, Stein."

I looked at him a brow raised, 

"Jealous of what might I ask?" 

"(y/n) and Hisoka being partners." 

He was sly I'll give him that.

"Why would I be jealous of them?" 

"Stein, you cannot hide this from yourself anymore. You are jealous of how Hisoka has grown closer to (y/n), and might I say that I have noticed that you look at her differently than you used to. You never looked at Marie like that." 

I looked at my tea longingly. He was without a doubt right. 

"Is that what this feeling is then? Jealousy?" 

He nodded and put a hand on my shoulder.

"You may have her be yours, on the condition that you stay Professor and student on school grounds, when you are in your lab you do what you must. She is to get no special treatment absolutely no acceptions." 

I smiled to myself.

"Thank you, Lord Death." 

He nodded and I quickly left. 

~Outside the DWMA~ 

I was walking down the steps of the DWMA and was about to make my way over to (y/n)'s apartment. I wanted to ask her out to dinner so I could discuss how her training was going with Hisoka. But when I turned the corner I wish I didn't see anything. 

(y/n) and Hisoka was at the base of the stairs. 

He had his hands on her hips and she had her arms thrown around his neck. 

They looked at each other like two teens look at one another at a new found love. 

I felt my heart hit my feet and keep going. 

Is this heartbreak? 

I put on my best smile I could and walked by them without them noticing. 

But from the corner of my vision. I saw them lock lips and I stopped. 

"That should be saved for when you two are home, such actions are not allowed on school property." 

They jumped out of their skin and blushed deeply.

I walked down the steps and to my lab where I went inside and closed all the blinds and left the lights off. I walked to the bathroom and every room that had a mirror and smashed them all until my hand was shredded. 

I stopped and fell to my knees. This is not who I am. I have never thought I would fall like this to a girl and hate myself forever. I don't want to look in the mirror anymore. I don't want to see her, I don't want to think of her, but alas, my heart will always ache for the thought of holding her in my arms, seeing her smile when she sees me.

Your POV 

Hisoka and I went home after our encounter with Stein. We were both nervous and still a little red. 

"What did you want for dinner?" 

He shrugged. 

"You can make whatever." 

I nodded and we got home and I went to the kitchen and he went to the bathroom. 

Hisoka's POV 

I called the contact in my watch again. 

The hologram came up. 

"So how'd it go?" 

"(y/n) is now believing that I have a crush on her as well and we are dating." 

"Good, the plan is progressing nicely. and Stein?" 

"Crushed like you said." 

She smirked widely.

"He'll be easier to bring down now. Good work Hisoka." 

I smirked and she made her sly devious one. 

"Thank you, lady Medusa."
