Katakuri
You tapped your finger against the tabletop, looking over at him as he stared at you; a dumb look coming over his face as you watched him. "You don't think I know huh?"
He stayed silent, leaning into the palm of his hand as he watched you. "Mm.."
"Katakuri Charlotte, don't act like I'm fucking stupid; you haven't been here for the past three nights. I know for a fact you haven't left the island..and I don't believe that your family has meetings all night long."
"You don't know anything about my family or what they do."
"You'll speak up about that but you won't be your own man when I want to talk about us yeah?" You stood up, walking to the window by the kitchen to look out into the street. "Everytime I bring us up you clam up like you'll get sick if you say anything about it.."
You looked back at him, watching as he simply leaned back and rested his feet on the table. "What is it? Am I not enough for you or something?"
Still, he sat silently and calmly.
You crossed your arms and leaned against the counter, watching him as a hand came up to adjust the scarf around his neck. "Katakuri-"
"Why should I explain myself to you when you're angry? Me being here is dangerous for you, I'm not suppose to even been affiliated with anyone outside of my family.." his eyes slowly made their way to yours, his voice muffled slightly as he spoke. "This kind of fraternizing could get me into real trouble.."
"But you keep coming back...Something must not be scaring you. Because if something were to have gone wrong you would've left me long ago..Because I know you see shit like that." You walked forward, looking at him as he sat up and watched you come closer. "What do you see Katakuri.."
He simply shook his head, standing slowly as you took a step back and looked up at him with an arched brow. "You know I dont like discussing things like that with you, I don't like inducing panic onto people I actually give a damn about."
"So does that mean that you've been gone so often because you want to distance yourself from me..?" You placed a hand on your hip, looking up at him still. "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
"No I'm not, I'm trying to make sure that they don't know.." He looked down at you, a hand coming out to take a strand of hair to rub between his fingers. "I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
You sighed softly, looking down at the floor before glancing up at him. "I know you don't..But I also don't want you to get in trouble because of me.."
He sat down, resting against the chair. "Don't worry about that, if you were trouble i wouldn't have approached you in the first place..."
You nodded slowly, walking forward. "I understand that now.." you lifted your hand to his face, stroking the scar along his cheek tenderly. "I just get so lonely and think about you...I mean, this is no fairy tale romance or anything of the sort but...It's good..And I know you try your hardest."
You turned away, walking to sit on the couch as he sat still in the kitchen chair. "I just don't know you know.."
He hummed lowly, standing as he made his way behind the couch. "I know." He leaned down, looking at you with soft eyes. "I know you're going to kiss me."
You felt your cheeks burst into red, a hand coming up to brush some hair back behind your ear as you cleared your throat. "Damn..I hate that.." you looked over at him, swallowing as you looked down at your lap. "I get so embarrassed.."
"I know you do..It's one of the few things I get to enjoy.."
You rolled your eyes, shaking your head as you turned to look at him. "If you know so much, why do you stay..?"
He tilted his head slightly, standing up to walk around and sit beside you. "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, I don't know how it works, but..Don't you see any other woman..Any body else but me taking up your time in the future..?" You reached out, touching the smooth leather of his jacket before your hands worked up and toyed with the tears. "If you know I'm not the one why stay..?"
His eyes watched your hands, making his way to gaze over your face. "Because."
You looked up at him. "Because...?"
"Because...What's the point in seeing into the future if you don't try to change it first? With family, if I can do something to protect them I will I won't wait, but if it's with someone like you...." His hand came to yours slowly, taking it in his hand to hold. "I want to see what I can do to change it..Any way I can.."
You smiled slightly, squeezing his hand slightly as you leaned into him. "I want to help you change it..If you think I'm that important to you...I wouldn't mind trying to change the future..." You looked up at him, your smile still prominent on your lips. "Except for this one of course.."
You leaned up, kneeling beside him as you wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him forward for a kiss; readjusting the scarf against his neck as you pulled away and sat beside him. "That's one thing I'll allow.."
"Me too.."
