Chapter 1
I don't know why it's like this. I don't know why, I'm like this. Did you think I asked for this? Do you think I know what's going on?
They threw me in such a dark room. Why...? It's not a cell but it's not really a bedroom either. where am I?
My eyes scanned the darkness, my back rested against the door as I still had my trusted comrade Timcampy on my head, it was at least less lonely while he was there. I decided to explore, trying to see if eventually there could be light. I checked around every wall, no windows, no lamps, no lanterns or candles and not even a single match. All i found was a mattress on the floor in the right-hand corner on the far side of the room and some dust bunnies, it didn't seem that comfortable Either. I let out a heavy sigh, "Looks like we are going to be here for a while, Tim" I said, to my golden friend. I was trying to keep calm about the situation I was in... but I just couldn't remember how it got to this point. I was now beginning to get cold and the darkness was starting to trick my mind into thinking that it was time to sleep. I knew fully well there was sunlight before I came in, but I no longer remember how long I've been sitting here. Maybe it had already been an hour or two, or a few days. I had no way to tell the time. I could now feel my body start to shiver, my legs curling up to my body as I wrapped my arms around them, how could I feel so tired? My eyes started to close on me, drooping as my head began to dip downwards. It was so cold in here, it felt like my toes were going numb through my boots.
I was almost asleep right where I was sitting before, I heard footsteps approaching. My eyes opened but I still couldn't see. They got closer, closer...and then stopped at my door. I gasped lightly, quickly putting my hands on the floor and pushing my body weight back to move away from the door. I stood now crouched down on my feet, looking to see who would come in. I could hear the sound of jingling, clanking of chains or maybe even keys of some kind. I could also hear the sound of someone tinkering with the locks- wait, Lock/S/? I had multiple locks on my door? The door then opened, light pouring in and filling the dark room with light. It was blinding at first, so I had to cover my eyes since I was blinded.
"Hey" was all I heard. I couldn't make out who it was just yet, my eyes were too blurry and tired, used to the darkness that had surrounded me for so long.
"Y-Yes?" I asked, my voice suddenly in a soft whisper as I tried to open my eyes to see who was talking to me.
"Will you stand the fuck up? I don't want to carry you..." They were male...and they were kind of a dick. Wait-...could it really be him? Could it really be, Kanda?
I rose to my feet, my eyes squinted as the man lead me out of the dark room. I looked around as my eyes began to slowly adjust, and then I saw him, standing in all of his own fucking glory...Kanda Yuu. I've liked him for a long while, but of course I would never tell him this. I admired his sword ship skills and the ability to not care about what other people thought. I wished I was just as resilient in that kind of subject, I cared too much sometimes about what other's thought of me.
"Moyashi" I was pulled back to my senses as Kanda called me that ridiculous nickname
"K-Kanda" I spoke softly "Why...was I let out?"
"Well, you have to eat don't you?" Kanda sighed, gazing to the side just to avoid eye contact. He really never could look me in the eyes. Why would he? Actually, now that I thought about it... why was Kanda even here? Did Komui force him to bring me food? Did he volunteer? My heart squeezed at the thought of Kanda doing such a thing willingly, but I knew it was impossible. It's not like him to do something like that for another person without being asked.
I stared at him "I suppose so". I didn't bother giving him long answers, the truth was, I was tired and I wasn't that hungry either, I just wanted to sleep. Perhaps I was just that depressed. Sleep sounded like the perfect escape right now.
"Very well then..." Was all Kanda had to say before beginning to walk forward "You aren't going to need shackles correct? I hope you don't plan on running away"
Did Kanda know i was exhausted? I couldn't run away even if I tried, that'd be suicide especially since this is Kanda and he can outrun me in an instant. I was too drained from lack of light and warmth. I couldn't run. I followed Kanda to a small wooden table where he placed a single bowl in front of me with a glass of water.
"Eat up, you won't be able to eat until morning" he told me, sitting across from me in the other wooden chair.
"Who made it?" I dared to ask.
"Jerry"
Jerry made it. So it was safe right? Nothing was dangerous if it came from Jerry, but could I trust Kanda? I like him, so everything tells me to trust him; But, there is that voice in my head that tells me not to...
