It unnerved him. She has been giving him glances every now and then since she came.
She doesn't seem like one of them but looks can be deceiving, he knew that very well. He doesn't remember doing anything for her to keep looking at him. He was sitting peacfully alone at the corner.
He couldn't read her glances because she would avert her eyes quickly. He was in a bad mood.. He was tired of people giving him all the strange looks.. even those who were supposed to be the same. He wasn't going to let this slide off easily.
He stood up and started walking firmly like a soldier getting ready for battle. She was sitting on the bar a few meters to his left with some other woman.
She glanced again at him which made him quicken his pace more. This time she stared in disbelief as she felt him approaching him.
"Excuse me" He didn't say out of politeness rather he wanted her attention as she seemed to be surprised.
"Why have you been stealing glances at me like a thief?" He bluntly told her without any hesitation. He was hostile and ready to throw rocks at her.. literally. People would either be scared of him or look down at him, no one who's scared will look at him more than once.
"Wha?!.. I.. ah.." She was panicking she never thought that he would come to talk to her nevertheless asking her that. She just hoped that whenever their eyes met he wouldn't think anything of it.
"Hey, don't you think you're being rude?" The black haired friend of her replied with the same amount of histolity he showed. She was the other soldier already fighting him.
He was going to fight back but the reason behind all of this spoke first "Tatsuki-chan.. He's right" She was red with embarrassment while she was trying to calm her friend down.
He expected more resistance. He was satisfied and a bit surprised that she backed down quickly.. but he was not going to stop at that.
"So why?" He wasn't going to be completely satisfied unless he got it out of her. He would not let people look down at him.
Her friend was going to fight him again but was stopped by her. The young woman looked at him and then started looking everywhere else but him. Her face was getting redder and redder as she was trying to formulate the words.
'That's what you get for looking down on me' he mentally noted feeling that he had already won.
"Eh.. mm.. You're too beautiful"
He was utterly defeated.
She was embarrassed but she was curious to his reaction. She intended for it to be a fast glance but it turned into a stare when she saw his reaction, he was petrified and blushing.
He certainly didn't expect that. He was never told that before. He stood there for a few moments then left to pay for his coffee without saying a word. He could hear her friend burst out laughing. Damn, he was pissed.

A/N: Hello it's my first time writing both an Au and request. It was requested by Epsada-IV. It most probably won't be a long fic. I have never written an AU before so I hope that it would be good enough for her and you too.
Hope you liked it
