Luci...that brat.

He's been your bully since preschool, and you absolutely despised him for your whole life. I mean, hell, no wonder he's grown the title of Biggest Bully. A BB you say. But you abbreviated his title for "Bitch Boy", because he acts like an idiot.

People have known him for playing sports, hence the toned body.

And yet currently, as you're working at a local retail, you suddenly wonder...

Why has he not showed up in those times when you were in high school?

It would be unsurprising if he skipped, but he didn't even a mention a plan on that.

You also remembered that as you two got older, he was more protective of you for some reason. Sure he's still bullied you, but he'd beat some others up to near hospitalization if they were bullying you, not him.

Honestly though, you were grateful that you stopped seeing him. You were so zoned out in gratitude that you didn't hear the deep, quiet voice

Hey...you good?

Realizing you needed to get back to your job, you quickly scanned the customer's items. The customer let out a chuckle seeing you in a hurry

Relax! I know you can't help it when you zone out! You've always been like that, ya know?

Wait...he knows you? You weren't sure, the deep voice was only familiar as Luci's voice was a little deep back then. It still is, but you had no time to be pissed off at this customer. What you could recall was that Luci had dark brown hair, and not black. Besides, Luci wasn't even that...kind.

But something still felt familiar, it could have been a deja vu moment; a mind fuckery.

The customer waved goodbye at you (surprisingly) as he headed off with his groceries.

You then noticed a note on your counter written with a purple sticky note, the note reading

'10:00 PM. Meet at that Aether Alleyway with the mural of a hand holding an eye.'

You checked the time to see that your shift was over, so you clocked out and left. Your retail didn't even close til 1:00 AM and you were lucky not to be the closing shift.

Since it was 9:50 right now, you headed off to that alleyway. You found that alley's art to be fascinating, but why in a place where no one would easily notice it? It's just how The Aethers were, always the strange happening; and you've come to accept that fact, living here your whole life.

Once 10 PM struck, you could hear faint footsteps, his voice heard with an eerie tone

I knew you'd show up...~♡

And you suddenly felt his hand on your shoulder, you turned to see the same customer from earlier. Did he watch you the whole time? Is that why he commented on your zoning out?

It's a shame you really don't recognize your own bully...

And God it's been so long since I've seen you...~♡

Oh. Dear god...it's that fucker, Luci. And you didn't even notice til now. Why's he kind all of a sudden?
