Y/n had caught Ayato dragging Saki's dead body, he dropped her when he noticed she had saw. Y/n's eyes landed on Saki, her eyes were forced to stare unblinking at the clear blue sky, her head lolled to the left. She stared from the corpse to Ayato and for once there was fear in his eyes.

"No...Y/n...Wait."He could barely form a sentence and then something just snapped.

The sound of glass cracking made her breath hitch.

She heard eight cracks.

Other students were slowed-down and everything seemed to permanently freeze in place.

His eyes were pools a grey with not a single spark inside, it made goosebumps form all over her skin like a dominion effect. His face showed no emotion, she couldn't even describe what she was seeing. He gave her an empty look that will forever haunt her dreams, he looked as if he had lost all meaning in life.

Suddenly, a colored bright red and black spread as far as her eyes could reach, covering the floor, walls, ceiling, even the sky and everyone in Akademi.

She was a statue, her body couldn't move an inch and all she could do was watch as Ayato brutally killed anyone with his bare hands, who were unfortunate enough to cross his path.

"Find a knife." He mumbled in a distorted voice, over and over again till the words replayed in her head.

He appears in her line of sight again, with blood staining his shirt and face, she noticed the knife in his hand and the way he changed, "Kill her, Kill her." Ayato whispered, it eent shivers throughout her still body. Her heart raced and soon she realized how powerless she was, in comparison to him.

As soon as he was in range, his bloody wet hand reached her cheek with his knife in the other, "If I can't have you, no one can." Ayato spoke, plunging the blade deep into her skin, piercing her heart. He immediately ripped it back out and Y/n struggled to hold the blood that spilled out of her wound.

She stared at him, wide eyed, in absolute disbelief.

At some point he was her friend, but fate decided it had to be him or her, no in-between.

She stumbled side to side wishing she had the strength to spill out the millions of things she wanted to say. She collapsed, and her vision went blurry, shortly after Ayato fell beside her, with blood gushing out of his neck.

Their finger tips brushed against one another, she would say this was romantic if she wasn't just stabbed by him and he didn't kill himself after.

She woke up holding her chest, where the stab would of been, but her curtains flap about from the wind entering her room, from a wide open window.

These dreams were getting way to realistic, how long did she have till they became a reality?

That was close, Y/n almost saw him.

Watching Y/n was getting harder and harder as she was progressively waking up quicker than usual.

He managed to get home and he slumped in his bed, pulling the picture of Y/n stuck onto her favorite plushie closer, his finger mindlessly making circles on the plushie's chest, imaging she was beside him.

Everything was ruined.

He thought he fixed things with her but no Kokona messes things up yet again, he wants her to die so badly, she causes problems for him at every turn. He can feel his eye twitching and his sanity depleting, shadowed figures show him killing Kokona off with different methods, over and over and over again.

He felt so cold without Y/n, Kokona wouldn't be able to comprehend how much he needs Y/n.

She is his life. His key. The one who will save him from dull empty existence he's been so use to, for all these years.

And now his saviour has walked into his life, she means everything to him. There's no one in the world he wouldn't sacrifice to save her for.

Even his own parents are expendable, in comparison to her, including that cat he got purely for her to come round his house more.

He's willing to go to any lengths for her, this house is already ready for him to steal her away. He regularly cooks the food she loves at his house, just so he's prepared. Everything she likes, he likes, everything but those rivals.

The thought of them near her sickens him.

He decided to sleep, as he overheard Genka's and the principal's conversation about Aso, someone who could apparently 'help' Y/n.

No one else needs to help her, he already leaves her gifts and romantic notes, signing them off as an anonymous person. He plans to confess once everything has been cleared up and he can reveal that he was there for her, every step of the way.

Later that night, he had a very peculiar dream... He wonders if Y/n had the same dream.

The next day, he sees Aso Rito, the leader of sports club. He has short blonde hair and has sky blue eyes and tanned skin. He wears the school's male uniform along with armbands, an undershirt, and a sweater around his waist.

He has the red armband of leadership on his uniform, he is very muscular due to being rather athletic.

He was hanging around Y/n like a fly, as soon as she entered through the gates, he even jogged over to her and continued to jog on the spot. "Do you like Y/n?" The voice next to him asks, he forgot Taeko was next to him.

He was silent, he didn't know whether to say yes or no, would this impact something in the future if he answered truthfully? Taeko didn't talk to much people so he guesses it's fine, "Yes, I've always liked her." Ayato responds, he flushes putting on his totally feeling embarrassed act, acting out his emotions was something he did every day, except when he was with Y/n.

His two new key emotions, love and hate.

Taeko nods, she's noticed he's quite a bad liar anyways and the sparkle in his eyes gleamed brightly when he sees her.

"That's nice, you should tell her. I'm sure she's feeling quite stressed right now and you being there for her would help but it looks like Aso has his eyes on her. I heard he was training for the Olympics at a specialized institution." Taeko states as they walk and his eyes couldn't leave Aso, he's going to make sure he's gone, Y/n is his.

He also has some 'special' gift.

It was some kind of ability ,that helped him see where Y/n was at all times, he could see a pink outline of a person and he knew it was her, the red outlined figure was Aso and they were currently walking together.

His eyes went dull when he did it, since Taeko had pointed that out when he did it.

He decided to tough it out a little longer and he swapped his shoes and followed his class out to the track and field area, outside of school.

All his class mates were lined up, in a line and Y/n is at the front.

"Nobody in the sports club EVER turns down a challenge! So, I won't allow any of you to either!" Aso announces, mainly staring at Y/n. "Come on! Let's get started right away!"

He set everyone off on a group activity and Ayato was placed in a group with Y/n, Taeko, Kokona and Saki... What great luck.

Aso came behind Y/n and helped lift her up so she could hold onto the bar, she thanked him and Aso blushed, "If you can do ten pull ups, I'll challenge you to a race Y/n. I know you can do it, see? 1..2..3 see your almost done."

Y/n was definitely putting the effort in and a smile was stuck on her face, it made Ayato's blood boil that she wasn't smiling at him, just Aso.

Eliminating very rival was another goal of his, Aso had his eyes on his beloved Y/n, he began to space out thinking of winning her heart and living together with her happily.

Ayato carried on using the skipping rope, jumping up and down while staring at the cherry blossom tree. Aso has an upcoming swimming tornament and in his diary he said, he'd rather die than miss it.

Well if it means so much to him Ayato will certainly deliver.

He'd have all week to learn his routine.

He passes the skipping rope to Taeko and he tries not to glare at Aso, but he knows exactly how Aso will 'disappear'.

He sat at the bench drinking water, thinking of her.

He remembered those times when he was content with living life like a some robot, not involving himself with people and keeping to himself .

It's only when he realized his beloved was with him all along, then that when his behavior changed. He became addicted to the feeling of being in love, how his heart thumped, the exact feeling his mother described, over and over again.

Y/n made him resent his condition and he is willing to do anything to experience life like a normal person.

It doesn't matter how she acts or if he truly cares for her, it's that drug of a feeling she gives him.

Him and Y/n are connected and it's fate and destiny for them to be together and no one can or will ever be able to stop him.

Y/n is his because he wants her more than anyone else and no one can love her like he can.
