Akira woke up due to the sound of the alarm still sleepy and incredibly exhausted especially mentally and although he did not have nightmares, he supposed that the reason for this is that his brain was so exhausted that his subconscious did not have the energy to do it.
Although he wanted to continue lying down sleeping to recover, he forced himself to get up because today he had to meet Himiko, the sooner he did it the faster they could start thinking of an escape plan and end this torture.
He took a hot shower that relaxed his tense body and then changed into the white uniform that had already been folded on the bedside table, brushed his teeth, and headed for the dining room.
POV HIMIKO
It has been 4 days since the last time I saw Akira, I have not stopped worrying and every day I pray that I can see him again, even more so that when he returns he remains the same Akira, obviously I know where they took him, the same horrible darkroom as me and some other children.
I should have warned him, I should have told him about that horrible place, but the fear did not leave me, the fear that if I told him our happy days would end and I would be alone again.
I don't want to be alone; Aki I miss you please come back.
Please come back well. don't come back like the other children being nothing more a shell of their former self. Please tell me that the cheerful and joking Akira is still alive, please ... * Sniff *
No, I can't cry now, I need to be strong and wait for Akira to come back, wiping the tears from my eyes I finished getting ready and went to the dining room.
Since I met him I felt like my days lit up all even though I come back from that room better than the other children I still suffer from constant nightmares, I can't even say my quirk, every time I even think about drinking blood I can feel a slight current go through my body, although I know that I am no longer connected to the chair I can still remember the pain.
As the last 4 days, I came to the dining room again and although every day I was saddened and disappointed not being able to see it, I could not give up so I looked around the room again hoping to see it this time.
After looking several times and not finding it I was going to give up again for today and hope that tomorrow if I could see it, but right then out of the corner of my eye I saw it.
I could see his hair which is darker than night, his body that although thin you can already see small growing muscles showing his athletic build, his blood-red eyes deep as a well that hypnotize me.
Every time I do see his eyes feel inside me an insatiable thirst and a desire to see his blood which does not calm even with the fear of being electrocuted again, next to his face that every time I see him makes me blush.
I couldn't help but get excited and although always try to remain discreet so as not to attract more attention from the doctors and cause me more pain, couldn't help running towards him.
Approaching him I could see that his face was exhausted, he looked haggard and tired but his eyes were still the same intense red, when he saw me I could see how his eyes shone and he showed me a small smile, one so genuine, without any kind of disgust or rejection, but on the contrary, I could feel the affection and warmth that he transmitted.
As I got closer could feel my eyes getting wet, my chest tightening and when I went to open my mouth to tell him how sorry I was not telling him about the treatment, how sorry I was that couldn't help him he hugged me and I was able to feel the heat of his body envelop me, could hear the beat of his heart through the chest and his soft voice in my ear.
"Shhh, don't cry, everything is fine"
"Sniff, sniff, sorry, sorry..."
"There's nothing you have to apologize for" he said as started patting me on the head.
"B-but, I didn't tell you about the room, if I had helped you, I'm sorry, please don't leave me alone, please…"
"Shhh, don't worry about it, there was nothing you could do I'm happy with just that you worried about me, I promise you that I will never leave you alone and I will always be there for you, you will never be alone again. it seems if we better go to the library and talk more calmly"
"Ummm" I nodded as continued to enjoy the warmth that his hug gave me.
POV AKIRA
When I got to the dining room, although expected Himiko to be somewhat worried about me, I didn't expect that the moment she saw me would run towards me and start crying.
Stolen story; please report.
When I saw her concern, I felt a warmth inside me while it saddened me to see her cry, the only thing that occurred to me was to give a hug and calm her down, after hearing her regrets and apologies, I understood why she felt that way, after being sent here and receiving those treatments (torture) she must have felt very lonely, it is incredible that she still has not broken after all I am still an adult in the body of a child and the one who sent me here was a lady for whom I do not have appreciation so did not feel abandoned in any way but Himiko was sent by her own mother, that must have devastated her, she must have felt so alone in the world, that your own mother sends you to a place like that must be the most horrible thing.
Although I wanted to continue comforting and calming her we could not continue in the dining room, we were already drawing a lot of attention and what we need now is to go unnoticed so finished the hug and we headed towards the library.
I chose this place because after all these days found an interesting place, it is a small blind spot of the cameras, although I could not use it much since there was no space to test my quirk, it was a discovery that will be fundamental for what we are going to do.
When I got to the library picked up a book and Himiko did the same, after all, we had to hide. After walking through a few corridors I found it, a small space in a corridor that was left blind thanks to the books on the shelves that blocked the view of the camera, I sat there and Himiko sat next to me.
"Himiko was very sorry for what you had to go through; you must have felt very lonely. Regretted not being able to know that you were suffering from this torture and not having been able to help you, I'm sorry" I lowered my head sadly as imagined how lonely and sad it was it must have felt.
I expected him to just accept my apology or even get mad at me, but I wasn't expecting his response.
"Akira do not apologize, you have not done anything wrong, on the contrary, since you arrived I can feel that I am alive again, I was alone, exhausted, and tired but your company brought me light and warmth in this cold darkness.
So, thank you for being with me, thank you for saving me, thank you for being my friend, thank you Akira" said Himiko with tears running down her cheeks.
Again the instinct to hug her took hold of me and I grabbed her fragile and small body of her wrapping him in my arms tightly, letting her know that I would not leave her alone, when I saw that she calmed down I began to speak again.
"Himiko we must escape, if we do not escape from this prison we will end up like the other children, robots that follow orders, shells of their former selves, simple puppets. So we must escape" I could feel her tremble in my embrace when she heard what I said.
"But how do we do it? there are guards all over the building, the moment we try they will stop us, and then…" Without continuing to speak Himiko looked me in the eye.
"I know, that's why we have to come up with a plan, we have to know the guards' schedules and if it is possible to discover their quirks, but above all, we need to become stronger, enough so that if something goes wrong in the plan we can use the strength to solve it and escape successfully"
"That's why we have to understand everything about each other, in order to work as a team and help each other. Himiko I want you to look at this" I opened my mouth and showed him my fangs, which grew and became like knives, which with a single touch they could easily pierce the meat.
Himiko when saw my fangs widened her eyes "y-they are c-like mine, how is it possible"
"My quirk is called
"Th-that ... I ... NO! My quirk is just
"Calm Himiko, remember I will never abandon you" taking her out of my embrace activated my quirk, sharpening my nails and then cutting my arm thus releasing blood which began to slide down my arm, and when it dripped to the ground I could finally see the real one Himiko.
I watched as her pupils contracted to make her look even more like a cat, her fangs grew a little more and her throat moved up and down, swallowing hard.
Without being able to contain himself, she pounced on top of me, began to lick the blood that ran down my arm, and then nailed her fangs and began to suck the blood from it, I could see how her expression became a mixture of ecstasy and intoxicated euphoria from drinking my blood, her face was incredibly flushed, she only stopped after a full minute of drinking blood.
Which I could only endure without fainting from bleeding due to my regenerative capacity that continually replenished lost blood.
As if had come to her senses about what she had done Himiko pulled away from me and started crying.
"Sniff, sorry, sorry, I didn't want to hurt you, sorry, please don't leave me, don't abandon me, don't hate me" Himiko begged as she kept crying.
"Shhh, now, now, Himiko I already told you that I will never leave you alone, I will never abandon you and I will always be with you, do not forget that I am your friend, also remember that my quirk is similar to yours so I will never judge, from now on I will take care of you, you do not have to pretend when you are with me, you can be the real you since will never hate you"
I could see how Himiko trembled stronger and stronger as spoke and when finished saying that she didn't have to pretend with me she jumped on top of me with a face of excitement and happiness.
I could see how her mask broke and she was free to show her true feelings, she hugged me tightly rubbing her face on my chest feeling my heartbeat, and smelling my body?
"~ Akira ~, sniff, ~ Akira ~, sniff, ~ Akira ~, sniff, ~ Akira ~, fufufufu" she repeated my name several times as laughed and smelled me nonstop. At this act I could only smile remembering that the real of hers is a Yandere and although it does not bother me and even like it, I must teach her to stay controlled, the last thing I want is to end up dead when being stabbed by her.
Akira and Himiko held each other for a minute. One of them in silence only smiling and patting the head and the other inhaling strongly the scent of the other's body as if wanted to record it in her mind.
Seeing that Himiko calmed down, it's time to tell him about my quirk and make our plan to escape.
