Cherry and Joe’s opinion of Adam had been made evidentially clear to you throughout the relationship between the 3 of you’s. To put it plainly, the two despised him. Even if their expression of the topic differed. Joe shied away from the subject, dismissing Adam as ‘lame’ and unchanged since high school, a far contrast to cherry’s aggression and poorly suppressed anger whenever the name was mentioned.

There was no turning back now as Adam made his unexpected, but grand arrival, sending waves of S-goers into excited madness. Even through the chaos of Adams entrance you didn’t miss Kojiro and Karou side eyeing the situation with the same silent question: what is he here for?

Adam, in all his sadistic nature also saw this and was out right deriving pleasure from their confusion as he approached you. “Oh darling,” he was practically purring. “Don’t your dear boyfriends know that you agreed to go up against me hm?”

“You what?” Cherry’s voice sliced through Adams smirk in a shocked, cold tone, indicating he’d already grown defensive and protective of your safety.
