Dark Reaper's Private Sanctuary . . . . .
All of Dark's people are in the living room today, including Garrete Cortez, Amethyst Wallace, Avery Knox, Elijah Monroe, Luca Martinez, Onyx Greene and Mykel Kai Cromwell, pondering what they will do now, as Dark has already decided it all.
"What? Are we doing nothing at all? Are we just going to let that stay with us just like that?" said Amethyst, full of frustration.
She didn't know exactly what Ryu saw in Rami—that he would trust Rami that much. Yes, Rami rescues him, but Rami's actions are just so suspicious. She can't really accept the fact that someone who is suspicious and has an unknown background will live with them for no one knows how long.
"There's nothing we can do. Boss has decided. Also, we owe him, so let's just become civil and treat him nice while we observe him to see if he really has that kind of bad intention toward us." Luca finally said his thoughts.
Amethyst didn't say a thing anymore. Luca has a point. So she analyzes the situation and keeps weighing the pros and cons, then she compromises with a deep sign.
"Fine." She finally nodded.
All of them smiled. They knew Amethyst would understand, including Ryu, who had just come down from Rami's room. That's their girl. She knows what to do and what not to do, and she knows to stop when needed.
"Also, what about the sniper? Any news about him?" asked Amethyst.
"My people we're getting into it." said Elijah.
"What? Is it too delayed?" Mykel
"There's a third party, so we're digging deeper." Elijah
"Hmm... then you should find that immediately." said Ryu with a streak of anger.
"Yes, yes, don't worry. No matter who it is, we'll make them pay." Reassured Elijah.
Meanwhile . . . . .
After Ryu left, the drowsiness that Rami felt had already consumed him, so he slept his tired body out. After hours of sleep, an opening of a door woke him up. The door of the room his lying at. He didn't check who opened the door. He just rubbed his eyes using his hands to ease the soreness within it. Then, after a while of gentle rubbing, he stretched his arm, then yawned as his eyes slightly watered. Just like a cute rabbit. These gestures of his make him so cute that whoever sees him wants to cuddle him and lull him into sleeping again.
"Good evening, did you sleep well?" Avery, who opened the door, asked Rami gently with an amused smile.
"I'm Avery Knox, by the way. I'm sure that you always saw me together with our boss. Just call me Avery, no Miss or Mistress or any of that." she continues.
She didn't think that someone under their surveillance was this cute without making an effort. This slightly lessens her vigilance because she loves fluff and cute things.
Rami was startled as a different voice echoed through the room. His action freezes as he slowly faces the culprit. With his status, he knew that Dark has seven subordinates whom he trusts within the school and maybe also from the outside. He read their profiles that he gathered and what the internet tells about them, and then occasionally, when he attends school, he sees them gathering in some places from afar, as he doesn't have the 'right' because of his 'persona'. But this is the first time that one of them is now in front of him and is talking to him. He didn't know how to face her.
"Hmm... yeah, I slept well. Thank you." He answered Avery softly.
'How cute.' Avery internally squealed while smiling on the outside.
"Okay then. Come on, I'll help you freshen yourself up, then we'll go downstairs to eat." She then walked through the bed and gently helped Rami up to help him get up.
"No, no, I can manage." Hearing that, Rami refused her. As if he'll let Avery help him. Even if she wants to help, she's still a girl. Come on.
"Don't be shy. I'll help you so that you can make it faster." Teases Avery as she guesses what his thinking is.
"No... please..." Rami says.
"Okay, okay, just be careful. I'll wait for you here." Avery stopped teasing him and agreed.
Rami quickly went to the comfort room to freshen up. After entering the room, he closes it and lock it in case Avery changed her mind and decided to suddenly enter the comfort room with him. Thinking about that, he shivered. After a few minutes of washing his face, brushing his teeth, and so on. As he finished his business, he paused as he was about to go back.
"Hey, come on! Come out already. Don't let the food wait on you!" Yelled Avery outside.
After hearing the food, his tummy growled, making him embarrassed.
'Oh, come on.' He exclaimed silently. Then he opened the door.
Avery smiled widely at him as she saw him.
"Let's go."
She stood up, then yanked his arm and gently pulled him through the door.
"I heard your tummy growl indicating that you're hungry so let's hurry up. Faster!!" she said to him with her lips smiling widely. She seems so amused by him.
Rami didn't answer him, as he only unconsciously pouted towards her.
'Look like I'm amusing this missy big time. But I guessed this was good as she lessened her vigilance towards me.'
As they reach the dining room, as soon as they walk through, all eyes are on them.
'Would I enjoy my food in this kind of atmosphere? ' Rami questioned internally as he felt the awkwardness of the area.
