It continued like this for the next few days—a relentless game of cat and mouse. Childe was the cat, always trying to corner me when I was alone, and I was the mouse, constantly slipping out of his reach before he could trap me.
I worked outside with the rest of the team, sharing a desk with Akio. Every time I needed something from Childe, I would go in, get it, and leave as quickly as I could, keeping my distance at all costs. Akio didn't question me—he knew better. He could tell I had enough on my plate and let me handle things my way.
From where I sat, I could see the desk occupied by Kaori. She worked quietly, her head down, avoiding conversation with Akio. It was obvious I was the reason for the tension.
More importantly, I could feel Childe's gaze on me. Through the glass windows of his office, his eyes were constantly on me, as if he was waiting for the perfect moment. I couldn't face him yet—not until I fixed things with Kaori.
"Hey, Y/n," came a familiar, soothing voice.
I looked up to see Touma approaching with his usual easy-going smile.
"Hey, Touma," I greeted as he took the seat next to me.
"She's still ignoring you?" he whispered, tilting his head towards Kaori.
I didn't respond, instead giving him a deadpan look that told him everything he needed to know.
"Right," he muttered, glancing over at Kaori.
She must have felt his gaze because she looked up briefly, meeting his eyes for just a second before looking away.
Touma smirked, then leaned back in his chair.
I hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why don't you and Kaori get along?"
Touma's expression shifted to one of mock innocence. "Kaori and I? Oh, we get along just fine," he said with a plastic smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Touma," I said flatly. "I thought we were good enough friends for you to be honest with me."
He hesitated, the cheerful mask slipping for a moment. Something darker flickered across his face.
"You'll find out in good time, Y/n," he said briefly before changing the subject entirely. "Hey, before I go—let's do something this weekend."
I smiled faintly. "Sure, we could all—"
"No," he interrupted, his tone firm. "Just the two of us."
Kaori looked up from her desk at that, her eyes darting between us.
"Uh... sure?" I said, a little taken aback by his sudden insistence.
"Great. I'll pick you up from yours," he said with a satisfied grin before standing up.
He walked off, but not before shooting another glance at Kaori, who looked away quickly.
Hours passed, and the office was nearly empty. Most of the team had gone home, and the dim overhead lights cast long shadows across the room. I was finishing up my report, eager to call it a night.
As I packed up my things, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I jumped, spinning around to see who it was.
"Kaori?"
She stood there, her expression urgent and anxious. I blinked, stunned. I'd been planning to approach her later, but now she was coming to me?
"Y/n, I need to speak to you," she said, her voice low but urgent.
"H-huh?" I stammered, caught off guard.
"Please," she continued, glancing around the office as if someone might overhear. "Your life could be in danger."
My eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"
