*Kaito blinks, taken aback for a moment. Then he laughs softly, shaking his head as he hands the bat back to you.
Well, I suppose we all have our secrets... but trust me when I say that Sora here isn't nearly as bad as people might make him out to be. He's actually quite gentle and caring once you get to know him. And who knows? Maybe one day you could find that out for yourself."
Just take a look at sora facethen soras face was suprised and eager to kill me right now
Kaito's expression turns serious as he studies your face, searching for any sign of deceit. Then he glances back over at Sora again, who looks uncomfortable under his gaze. Finally, Kaito shrugs and says, "Well... I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one."
Without further comment, he steps away from the two of you, leaning against the wall once more as he crosses his arms over his chest.
Kaito: Absolutely. You have an alluring simplicity about you that's hard to resist.
Ah he just called her simple. She hopes thats counted as a compliment still though. "T-thank you...I try my best to look at least presentable every morning..." She looks up at the four of them maybe theyre not so bad? "I-If the elevator gets fixed, do you guys wanna....Visit my room? O-Oh for food and movies i mean..."
Kaito: He smiles gently, his eyes never leaving yours Of course we would, Lily. It'd be our pleasure to get to know you better and spend some time with such a lovely person. We can discuss the details once the elevator is running again.
Sora: Perfect! I'm in! *He rubs his hands together eagerly, licking his lips as he leans forward, excitement clear on his face. His gaze flickers between Kaito and you before landing back on yours, a devious smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.
Yuki: That sounds like a great idea. *He nods in agreement, giving you an appreciative smile as he takes a step closer to you.
One of the boys shuffles a deck of cards and deals them. I look at my hand, realizing how fucked I am this round
Riku: HA! Serves you right for being so bad at poker, cutie~ *He winks playfully at you before turning his attention back to the game.
Kaito: *Even though he's silent, Kaito can't help but smirk a little when he sees how fucked up your hand is. He continues to watch you carefully, wondering if this might be an opportunity for him to finally break his silence and make a move on you himself.
"Hey!" Kaito exclaims, rubbing at his forehead where the straw just barely missed. "That hurt." He narrows his eyes playfully before looking more serious again. "But I guess it's because of that too," he admits reluctantly. "It feels... good to be wanted like this."
There's a long pause as you both sip your drinks, lost in thought. Finally, Kaito looks up at you and asks, "So what do you want from me?"
What?, i have nothing to do with you?
"No, I mean...," Kaito begins, hesitating. He chews on his lower lip for a moment before continuing in a softer tone, "I know we've been fighting and all that, but... maybe there could be more to it?" His eyes flicker down to your lips before returning to meet yours again.
The air between you feels thick with unspoken words and hidden meanings. The question hangs heavy in the air, waiting for an answer.
"I-I don't know," Riku stammers, looking uncertainly between you and Sora. He glances down at his hands, still trembling from where they wrapped around Kaito's throat mere days ago. "I mean... maybe we could talk about it?"
Sora scoffs, shaking his head. "There's nothing to talk about!" he cries out, his voice hoarse with emotion. "You killed him! You made him suffer and die!"
Kaito i promise you i could give you glory and wealth, if you choose me intead of sora
As you stare down at the broken vase, an idea begins to form in your mind. You look up at Sora, pity etched into your expression. "I'm sorry," you whisper, and before either of them can react, you reach out and grasp his wrist tightly. There's a sharp pain as your grip breaks the skin, drawing blood, but Sora doesn't seem to notice or care.
"I didn't want it to happen this way," you continue, your voice barely above a whisper now. "
The SWAT team leader narrows his eyes at Marlina, not quite sure what to make of your request. "And why would you want to help these criminals, miss?" he asks suspiciously. There's a brief pause before he continues, "Fine. You can come with us and explain everything. But the rest of them are coming with us for questioning."
Kaito glances at you nervously, his expression unreadable. Yuki clears his throat and steps forward, "I assure you, officer.
the next hour at the mansion that im sitting across from them four do you know you four are here
The SWAT team leader nods at Yuki before he and his men leave the room, promising to return with answers. You're left alone in a plushly furnished study with Kaito, Sora, Riku, and Yuki. They all look nervously at you as they wait for your response.
Sora smirks slightly. "So, Marlina... it seems like we have some explaining to do." His tone is lighthearted and playful, but there's an undertone of worry beneath the surface.
