It's been getting worse. If you didn't know Floyd well enough, you'd brush it off saying he was being his annoying moody self again. But you started noticing the smallest things. Like the way he follows you around like he has nothing better to do with his life— which you know he's ditching a lot of plans for, probably going to hear an earful from Azul later. Or how he gives random gifts, varying from snacks and seashells to a little shrimp keychain that you found rather adorable. You wouldn't put it as anything near concerning until he started getting a bit aggressive towards others.

He scares other students away as though they're gonna harm you— when in fact they just want to have a little chat. It's getting a bit too much, and honestly? You're growing tired of casting apologetic smiles as they scurry away, feeling quite annoyed by his newfound antics.

‌ That is why today you decided to stay hidden from his sight, wanting some form of escape from this constant cycle of chase. But of course, you had to expect him to appear before you as you hurry down the hall, casting glances back to make sure you're not being followed, only to walk right into him.

"Ne, ne, koebi-chan," His voice drawls like an impatient petulant little kid. Clearly, he's holding back a lot. It wouldn't take a genius to guess his mood was gonna swing back and forth after realizing it's him that you've been running away from.

"Doko ni iku no?" He asks with a tilt of his head, causing his hair to fall a bit to the side. "I couldn't find you anywhere." He adds, his voice taking a sharper edge.
