"wait- nikki, man-" the villain blurted, cutting off at the slam of murai's door. well great. the boy had just been trying to help, had just invited him to stay the night, and haruka had already made him angry. he hadn't meant anything, but there it was. words and mistakes couldn't be took back, time couldn't be reversed.

haruka nervously cracked his wrists, staring down the hallway murai had disappeared into before padding around the room and looking for any clue towards the hero's true identity. it didn't take long; just as he had thought, there was artwork hung from his younger days. 'murai?' the villain thought, brows drawing together.

the villain sighed softly and looked around once more. he felt as though he could wander the house for hours, but knew it wouldn't be something murai would appreciate. after much tossing, turning, and almost falling off the couch, haruka managed to drift into a restless sleep.

Murai awoke the next night with a sigh. It still was going to take some time for him to get used to being nocturnal for school. It will all be worth it however once he gets the information he requires. He opened his bedroom door and exited it as he remembered the fight that occurred last night. He sighed and went to the kitchen. He made toast before sitting and eating. He watched the couch where Haruka slept, waiting for the other man to awake so that they could go to school. He didn't even notice that the villain had been snooping.

haruka was still sleeping soundly, mouth hanging open. he was drooling on the cushion of the couch, snoring loudly. eventually he did stir, stretching and mumbling incoherently. he jolted upright after a moment, eyes snapping open and his gaze flicking around in mild panic. once his gaze locked on murai, he relaxed slightly, letting out a loud sigh.

"goodmorning?" he said, uncertainty lacing his tone. he wasn't quite sure how the other male would react; they barely knew each other. murai stood, swaying briefly and swearing under his breath as he was hit with a wave of dizziness. "can i have something to drink? and- and maybe something to eat, if it isn't too much. i'm not feeling so well."

it was almost as if the villain expected the hero to have forgotten his anger completely from the previous night, a hopeful half-smile on his lips. he knew it was unlikely he'd be forgiven so easily, especially since they hadn't shared any words of apologies, but one could have a spark of hope. "i think i'm dehydrated; my head hurts and i'm all sore and stuff."

[cswolf.]

Murai looked over at Haruka as he finally awoke. "Morning." He spoke shortly as he remembered what had happened the night before. He did however hand Haruka a glass of water with some medicine. "Take it, it will help you feel better." He spoke. Even though they argued, Murai was still a hero and cared about everyone. He also provided Haruka with some toast. "You might be dehydrated." He confirmed. "Just tell me when you are ready to go." He spoke calmly. He went and waited in the living room area, looking at the news on his phone.

haruka took the medicine dry and then chugged the water, taking the toast and sitting back on the couch. "thank you. listen, mu- nikki, i'm sorry for yelling at you. i was worked up and emotional and apparently brainless. you were just trying to help and i'm just- i'm an idiot. i didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

the villain stared at his lap and began eating the toast, chewing each bite just a bit too long so he didn't have to talk. haruka meant what he said, but he wasn't sure how nikki- murai?- would react. why should he trust a villains apologies to be genuine? especially one that seemed to have done nothing but bad.

Murai looked over at Haruka as he apologized to him. "It's fine." He spoke simply. He didn't quite believe Haruka's apology to be all too genuine since he was a villain after all. He sighed as he continued to wait for him to be finished and ready to go. "Just don't blow my cover and all will be forgiven." He spoke simply. He turned back to his phone and continued to read through the news for any other attacks by the LOV on UA.

"if i blow your cover, it'll be your fault for not turning me in. wouldn't it just be easier to get it over with, and have me off the streets? you'd be able to do your work without worrying about me." if haruka got arrested, the entire lov would be on edge, and the blame would probably be placed on murai, since he was the new kid. he hadn't yet earned their trust, and it would probably be a while until everyone was completely used to him, especially after their fight. he was strong, and strength scared people.

once he finished his toast, he stood, holding the plate and watching the hero uncertainly. "uh, what should i do with this? i- if you'd like i can wash it quick. then we could go." haruka shifted his weight from one foot to the other, biting his lip. he knew he most likely looked a bit unkempt- his hair a mess, his clothes more of the same- but he couldn't care less. the others could judge him all they liked, it wouldn't effect anything. a few awkward stares and some whispers wouldn't hurt anyone. well... if they got back to him, they might. but he wouldn't be hurt.

[cswolf.]

"If I arrest you and get you off the streets then the LOV will be on edge and I will be the first suspect on their radars." Murai explained as he looked at him. He gestured to the sink when Haruka asked where he could place his plate. "I'll wash it when i get home." He explained as he looked at him. "Let's just get to class. We have much to learn from the lands greatest villains don't we?" He asked him as he went to wait by the door for him to finally be ready to go.

"they'll already be suspicious after you beat me yesterday. you don't... move like a villain. they're less confident and sure of themselves, they try to hurt their opponent as much as possible. to make sure they can't fight back.sure you were trying to hurt me, but not for the same reasons." he set the plate in the sink, slowly so it didn't make any noise, and hurried to go outside. "i won't spread any rumors or anything. they'll avoid you anyways... i don't need to worry. we'll both be outcasts now." a quick, sarcastic smile was flashed in murai's direction. it wasn't that he wanted to be an outcast, per se, it was more than the class was scared of anyone with more power than them, and consequently avoided contact with them. the most popular tended to be somewhere in the middle range of power- strong enough to be cool, weak enough to not be considered a real threat.
