===== Chapter 25 [ Part 2 ] =====

Focusing on Chaos' perspective of the story, we also ssee him suffering the aftermath of that incident. Maybe out of the two of them, he even got the worse of it.

While Chaos also didn't really like the feeling of that shocking kiss, unlike Dante, he did not hold that much deep reaction towards it.

Why should he?

The brown-haired killer only considers it as a waste of time to even bother give it a spare of his thoughts; so instead of being angry, he decided to bury the ridiculous memory deep in his mind.

Anyways, that's not really the problem.

The guy has always been like a ghost, never really being noticed in that school.

He's just too good in being inconspicuous to the point that he doesn't even have problems being called out by terror teacher for random recitation.

However, because of that incident, everything changed for him. His skills of invisibility suddenly dispersed; and to his misfortune, everyone now notices him, remembering him for that kiss.

What makes it worse are the girls!

Fujoshi girls, to be exact!

Those girl that happen to be crazy for anything related to boy x boy stuffs!

While Dante has no problem warding them off with his vicious nature, this man on the other hand is like a timid rabbit around these girls.

His emerald-green eyes show fear while he can't even bother to say out a whole sentence without tripping on his words or flinching.

Those little gestures only making his situation more worse because some of the girls— whether they be a yaoi fanatic or not— go crazier for his quite meek nature, completely oblivious of the danger Chaos truly is.

Anyways, right now...

He's hiding for his life.

Sweat dripping off his face, the brown haired man tries to steady his breath as quiet as he can, fearing that those vixens will hear and come and aggressively harrass him once more.

When those crazy girls finally pass by the room he's in, the young man still does not bother to leave. He has to be really careful as they might come back in this hall and bump into him again.

Turning around, he sees that he is in a lab — a computer lab to be exact, but there's no one.

Wait, no!

His emerald green eyes went wide as you stare at him, also wide-eyed, never expecting to see one another during this time since it's still apparently class hours.

You, of course, weren't skipping as you're only here to do your teacher's bidding. Well, Alessio did try to stop you by hugging your waist, but you are quite pretty stubborn and choose to follow your will.

And how did you even convince him?

Oh well, it was a bit difficult convincing him, but you kinda know his weakness.

You have a feeling that his soft spot is you, so you decide to try your theory out.

You only didn't expect for it to work so effectively because it was only once that you gave Alessio's cheek a peck, and that changes his mind so quickly.

With a pleased expression and satisfied smile over his handsome face after that unexpected feathery kiss on his right cheek, he can only let you go

just this one time, he promised.

"Chaos?" you call out, but his body only seems to flinch upon your call.

You step forward, but that only makes it worse with the poor man beginning to tremble as if his end has finally come.

You feel bad for him as you begin to wonder where he even got that phobia.

But of course you can't ask that question out of nowhere when you're not even friends to begin with. So you just stand there, turning around, then wait for Chaos to calm down and leave.

When the man finally settles his body down, he does not hesitate to leave the room and you.

For a second, he was scared there.

Luckily, you were considerate enough and didn't attack him like others had done. Chaos didn't want a repeat of the past.

Hearing the creakings of the door, you take it as a cue to turn around again.

You see him close the door and leave.

Blinking your (E/C) eyes for a few seconds at the closed door, you then also begin to exit this computer lab since your job here is done. But as you're about to exit the lab, Chaos appears out of a sudden.

He suddenly pushes you inside the laboratory and quickly locks the door.

Crouching, Chaos's breathing is unstable like earlier. He has a terrified expression all over his face while he once again starts to tremble so much.

Seeing those reactions, you quickly make some distance between you guys, not wanting to further worsen the situation.

Chaos weakly looks at you, noticing your gesture, before averting his emerald green eyes again to the floor. He releases a shaky breath, relieved that you once again acted so considerately for him.

Just a few moments later, he hears them— those girlish screams seeking out for him.

He shuts his eyes, longing for this to stop, desperately longing for those girls to finally stop and leave him alone.

Memories of the past start to swarm in his mind as he only gets worse.

No.. no..

Not again, he thought as he struggled to keep his voice within, not wanting to alert those women, not wanting those women to take advantage and...

"Chaos! Chaos!"

His emerald eyes snap open, and he warily scans the empty computer lab until his gaze finally settles down on you.

You, who is still far away from him. Thankfully.

You have a worried look over your face though, making him a bit surprised. But Chaos decides to brush that off as he turns his attention toward the window, peeking over the glass.

His heart is beating so fast as he scans the area.

Thinking that it's clear, he's about to stand up.

"Wait! Let me make sure!" You suddenly speak, making him stop from moving and blankly stare at you.

Sending the brown haired man a small smile, you quickly exit the laboratory. Walking a little further to the left where the girls were last seen, you don't see anyone at all; so you go back and open the door.

"It's all clear," you tell him, smiling.

He flinches a little while blinking his green eyes at your kind actions.

Standing up, he can't help but notice that you're smaller than him.

Chaos opens his mouth before closing it. He doesn't have the courage to look at your face, so he just rests his gaze on your fluffy (H/C) hair.

He recalls how Alessio gently pet your hair like you're a kitten. A kitten, Chaos's face turns red.

"Chaos?" you softly question, wondering why he isn't leaving just yet.

By your call, the brown-haired man is suddenly reminded that you're not a kitten and, in fact, a girl, who is the constant cause of his nightmares at night.

His heart almost bursts out, and he quickly shies his gaze away from you.

"Thank you," the young man softly murmurs his sincere gratitude, shaking so slightly, before exiting the lab in a hasty motion.

You blink your eyes as you watch him leave.

"You're welcome," you respond.
