Chapter 14~ The White Tiger

Confusion.

Lost.

Emptiness

Unanswered questions.

That's all that went through y/n's head as he laid in bed, just a few hours after the entire ordeal.

It was two A.M. and although it's certainly not the latest the h/c stayed up, he still felt tired.

He was completely disheveled, staring at the popcorn ceiling of his apartment, taking in everything that has happened.

He couldn't sleep, typical.

But this time it was different, he had something to ponder about and a familiar ghost like entity wasn't there to nag him.

He was alone.

Again.

And he wasn't sure if he could handle this.

And he couldn't.

Sometimes it's okay to cry.

Crying doesn't mean you're sad, it just means you've been strong.

And right now y/n didn't want to be strong, he just wanted to cry.

That's why Alice didn't bother him, hearing small sniffles come from a wet pillow. Although, even if the situation is what it is Alice would have ignored him regardless. That's just how it was between them that neither of the two outwardly spoke about, it was just a think that would be better if they never mentioned it at all.

He couldn't understand what those guys meant, not human? Of course he's human. It made sense if Alice weren't human considering the fact that he was an ability in some sort of sense, but himself?

He breathes, he eats, he sleeps, he hears his heart beat. Most of the time....

So then what the hell was it?

What did they mean?

And even worse, how many will come and look for y/n?

Could he be in danger right now?

Could somebody be watching him from beyond the window?

Could one of them be waiting at his door right now, waiting for him to sleep and strike-

Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

"..." y/n's tears paused, hearing the soft rattling knock come from his living room.

Someone was here.

In the middle of the night.

"Alice..." y/n whispered, slowly lifting up his watch.

The blonde seemed to have understood the message. Slowly whisping forward as y/n slowly stepped back, awaiting for the entity to return back to say who was at the door.

'And what if it's the men?

They planned well to target at night when I would be alone...

Alone...

If they succeed I'll be all alone again..

No...

No..I won't let that happen..'

Alice whisped through the wall, "it's that detective boy. The one with an addiction to sweets."

Y/n sighed out of relief, it was just ranpo. His partner.

Once the h/c had opened the door, ranpo grinned.
