CHOSO'S POV

I prepare myself for a fight when I see Satoru, letting cursed energy flow through my body. But he just stares at me with wide eyes. I swallow. Satoru's gaze wanders to his sleeping sister.

How can he see through the blindfold wrapped around his eyes? ,,We should talk outside...", Satoru says and walks out, I follow him. When we walk away from the dorm rooms, Satoru stops and puts his blindfold down:,,So... What were you doing in my sister's room? Spying on her?"

I grit my teeth and slowly get annoyed because of Satoru and the rain that falls on us. ,,I wanted to see her because I...", I love her, ,,Because I care about her since she is my friend."

,,This isn't possible. Why? Why did you choose her? There are so many other women out there who could be your friend. And you know what? It hurts more to lose a sister than a friend. So please just leave her alone, okay?", Satoru turns around, his blue eyes making me gasp.

But then I clear my throat and narrow my eyes:,,Yeah I know how it is to lose a sibling. Just because I'm a curse, doesn't mean that I don't feel any love towards someone. Also... I'm not spying on you guys. I just tried to make (Y/N) happy since she has been sad the last days. Did you notice that? A brother would want the best for his sister, wouldn't he?"

Satoru is silent for a while but then he lets cursed energy flow through his body:,,Of course I want the best for her but how do you imagine a friendship with my sister will be like? Do you know anything about her past? Do you know anything about the things she had to go through because of our parents? I do love her and that means I'll protect her from danger. She doesn't deserve to go through hell again."

I scoff and clench my fist, letting cursed energy flow through my body as well:,,Oh yeah? Then why are you putting her through another hell? I see things you don't. How she returned from the trainings the last few days and cried two, sometimes even four hours long. Or how she isn't motivated to do anything because YOU are locking her inside her room? Is that really the best for her?"

My words leave a bitter taste in my mouth and I dodge Satoru's attack. ,,Shut up! You don't know what's best for her!", he shouts and kicks me, making me crash into a tree. I spit out blood and cough. This dude is strong as hell, he'll definitely kill me.

I stand up and grit my teeth:,,Why can't you just accept that I love her? Why can't you put your egoism aside and look at the truth? I'm not trying to hurt her nor am I trying to repeat history. If I want anything, it's her to be happy."

Satoru narrows his eyes, his face expression pained and he looks away. Then he clenches his fists, blood trickling down his fingers. My eyes widen when I see him suddenly crying.

,,D-Do you know how difficult it is to take care of someone like her? It's really difficult to make her happy.. I'm so fucking scared that she'll get hurt again. I want her to feel safe and loved. But knowing that I'm doing the opposite is killing me.", Satoru sobs and wipes his wet cheeks.

I think about my siblings, remembering that I couldn't save them. Pain spreads in my chest and I try to swallow the lump in my throat away. ,,A-A curse loving my sister? How? That's too twisted and I can't risk her getting hurt..", he shakes his head and looks at me.

,,Okay.. What if you give me a chance? And if I fail, you are allowed to kill me?", I swallow. I don't care if it sounds pathetic. I would do anything to be with her. Even if it means I'll have to die.

Satoru's jaw drops and he looks at me with disbelief:,,You would..." ,,Yes, I would risk my own life to be with her...", I say serious and look into his eyes.

He laughs halfheartedly and shakes his hand:,,I swear if you hurt her, I'll kill you instantly. I won't hesitate." My heart flutters and I smile a little:,,So you're okay with..." ,,I guess...", Satoru sighs and rubs his face.

I smile more and bow:,,Thank you, Satoru. I'll be forever thankful." Satoru scoffs and looks away.
