No amount of time or therapy would ever make this ok.

Not that Mob was currently seeing a therapist…but maybe she needed one now. Maybe she should have asked Serizawa for the name and number of his. She seemed like she did good work. Serizawa was doing a lot better than when she met him. He wore clothes besides pajamas and took showers every day and had a job and real friends and a girlfriend…

And no amount of therapy would ever make this ok.

"Serizawa!" said Master Reigen. Mob wanted to close her eyes. She wanted to plug her ears. She wished that she had never seen what it was that she was hearing or seen what it was that she was seeing.

"Sorry! Want me to stop?" asked Serizawa as he took his hand away from….where his hand had been…and Mob did not want to look at where his hand had been. Right there in Master Reigen's shirt right above her bra…and for some reason Mob was wondering why Master Reigen wore a bra like that. It seemed kind of itchy with all of that lace.

Mob wanted to close her eyes.

Because she should not have been seeing what it was that she was seeing. Master Reigen's shirt was opened and her undershirt thing…it was silk and nothing like the undershirts that Mob wore…it was pulled down to the side and Mob should not have been seeing that. This was not for her eyes. This was not like changing in a locker room or going to an onsen. Those were times when she could have reasonably been expecting to see Master Reigen naked-ish…not that there had ever been a time when Mob could have expected to see Master Reigen in any state of not being dressed….

"No, that was good. This is…this is good." Said Master Reigen. Mob wished that her body was listening to her. It wasn't listening to her and neither were her powers…kind of like the time when she walked in on Ritsu and Sho when they were kissing….and maybe Mob needed to learn to knock. Yes, that was it. Even though she worked here and she'd never had to knock before…

She really should have knocked.

"Are you sure? Because I can stop whenever you want to. I don't want to push you into doing anything or-" said Serizawa. Ok, so all boys were like that, not just Teru. Not that she and Teru had ever done more than kissing. Well they had kissed like that before…and also he had touched her there before…and then he had spent the whole time saying that he was sorry for pushing her. Then it was like they had taken a whole step back…or maybe two or three. It was nice to know that all boys were like that, even ones as old as Serizawa. She just wished that she had learned this fact about boys in some other way…because this was not something that was meant for her to be standing there in the doorway witnessing.

She hoped that they didn't notice her.

She was in the doorway. The door was opened a crack. It was opened just enough that she could see what it was that she was seeing. She had frozen when the door opened wide enough for her to see inside. She had frozen, there, in horror. Not even her powers would work…though that was a good thing. This was not the time or place to explode. If she exploded there then Master Reigen and Serizawa would have noticed her and then she would have had to run away and hide for the rest of her life. Really, there was nothing at all else that she could have done if she ended up exploding and then got caught.

"Serizawa, come on. You know I like this. I liked it last time and I like it now. Ok? I'll tell you if you do something that I don't like." Said Master Reigen. Mob had said almost those exact words to Teru, before, and not frustration cuts through the horror. She was going to have to tell Teru that she was ok with him kissing her and all of the other stuff for the rest of their lives.

Well then.

She didn't want to have to tell Teru over and over again while they were kissing that she was ok with kissing him. He got worried, sometimes, that he was pushing her too far even though she was the one to ask him to kiss her like that. It was like Master Reigen had told her, communication was key in a relationship, though Mob was notoriously bad at it. But it wasn't her if Master Reigen was having the same problem she was. This was just what boys were like it seemed. They always worried about scaring you away even though you wanted to kiss them…

Boys were frustrating at any age it seemed.

"I-I know but that was then and this is now. Also I just thought that you might have been more comfortable before because we were in your apartment and this is…our work….and also I don't want to make you uncomfortable and-" said Serizawa

"I'm fine. I mean, yeah, I'm a little nervous to be doing this at work but it's after hours and that door's locked, right?" asked Master Reigen. Mob felt her heart stop. That door most certainly had not been locked. If the door had been locked then Mob would have gotten out her key to open it and if she had gotten her key out then Master Reigen and Serizawa would have heard the sound of them clacking together and if they had heard the sound of Mob's keys clacking together then they would have stopped and everything would have been normal.

This was not normal.

This was terrifying.

"I-I'm not sure if-" said Serizawa as he began to turn around. Mob stopped breathing. Her heart even stopped beating. She could feel herself sweating through her clothes even though Master Reigen had the air conditioner going so loud that it made the windows rattle. Mob was grateful that the air conditioner was that loud. It covered the sound of her heart beating. It had remembered how to beat and it was making up for lost time. She felt her body tense up. She had to run away.

But she couldn't. She was stuck in place like quicksand.

She wished that her body would just listen to her. She wanted to run away screaming. She was screaming, on the inside, and her aura was screaming on the outside. Her aura was so bright because she was all freaked out but Serizawa didn't notice. He was too into what he and Master Reigen were doing….which was actually a good thing. Mob had no idea how she was supposed to explain herself. She hadn't set out to see this.

She had just wanted to see if Master Reigen and Serizawa were still at work.

Well she had been sent to see if they were still at work when neither of them answered their texts. She, Rei, and Tome were going in one on of the big prizes at the arcade. The giant cat plush toy that was big enough to use as a pillow or even a beanbag chair. They were low on money and needed more tickets than they could have conceivably earned. It was Tome's idea to invite Serizawa, he liked arcades, and they had to invite Master Reigen because otherwise she would have felt left out.

Mob really wished that she had been left out of this.

Because she was going to go blind. That was the only thing that was going to come of seeing this. They were kissing again. All open mouths and smacking noises…and also touching. A lot of touching. Master Reigen had one of her hands in Serizawa's hair and the other one was on his chest…and now at least Serizawa wasn't touching her…and all Mob needed to do was run away….

Come on feet, move.

"Katsuya, get back over here and kiss me. I've been thinking about this all day. Come back here." Said Master Reigen. She reached over and put her hand on Serizawa's cheek. She turned him to face her and then she leaned in and kissed him. There was lipstick on him, on his face and neck, and Mob didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She did not want to see this….but she was also grateful that they had gone back to kissing. Better that they started kissing again than they went to check the door, something that they both should have checked before they started kissing, and noticed her.

You were always supposed to check before you started kissing.

Tome had taught her that. Mob didn't always knock. Sometimes she came into the clubroom after everyone left to see if Tome wanted to hang out. Sometimes she would come in and Tome would be in there with Inukawa and Inukawa would be all red and Tome would tell Mob to go away…and Mob should have learned to knock back then. Tome had taught her to make sure that she was alone and that everyone was gone, even Mob who apparently was very quiet when she moved, or else she'd get caught.

She and Teru hardly ever got caught.

They also hardly ever kissed. Mob was maybe a little bit…jealous. She was a little bit jealous that Master Reigen…and that made no sense. Master Reigen had the same problems that she had, Mob had heard her and Serizawa loud and clear, so Mob shouldn't have been jealous…but she kind of was. Teru always apologized after they had been kissing for a while. Mob didn't care that he'd had other girlfriends before her.

Well she sort of did.

Because he had wanted to kiss those girls but not her. He always said that he was sorry about how he used to be and he was always telling her that he would never treat her like that….no matter how many times she told him that she wanted to kiss and wouldn't mind at all if he wanted to do all of that stuff that came after kissing. The sort of stuff that Master Reigen had done before…because she was an adult and that was what adults did. Master Reigen and Serizawa probably did that sort of stuff all the time….

Oh no.

And if they started to do that then Mob knew that she would go blind and deaf and then crazy. Or maybe she would just get hysterical amnesia like in that movie about the lady who saw a murder and then got hysterical amnesia and forgot what she had seen and then she ended up getting married to the man who killed the other man and the other man turned out to be her twin brother…

Mob wanted to watch TV.

She wanted to go home and watch TV. Forget the arcade, forget everything. Sometimes you had to run away and this was that time. She knew that if she had been in Master Reigen's place, but not with Serizawa because she didn't like him like that because he was a lot older than her and also she would never steal Master Reigen's boyfriend from her, she would have wanted Master Reigen or whoever else to run away and forget what they had seen.

"Katsuya…'Suya…that's perfect." Said Master Reigen. It was at that point that Mob's feet remembered how to move. She remembered how to lift her feet and how to walk out slowly, she closed the door slowly behind her, and she crept down the stairs as quietly as she could.

She ran as soon as she got to the door.

She wanted to run all the way home but she knew that if she did then her friends would have been upset with her….so she ran all the way to the arcade.

"Mob! Where have you been!?" said Tome. She shook Mob as soon as she ran up to her. Mob let herself be shaken. Anything was better than what she had been through.

"Milk. Please." Said Mob. Tome stopped shaking her and then started staring. As she stared she snapped her fingers in Rei's direction. Rei ran off towards the vending machine and came back with a bottle of plain milk. Mob took it and drank it all at once.

"Mob…are you ok?" asked Rei

"What happened? Arson? Murder? Aliens?" asked Tome. Mob shook her head 'no' as she finished her milk. She finished and then just stood there and caught her breath. They asked her again and again and she wanted to say something…but she wasn't going to. No, she would take this with her to her grave.

"You don't want to know." Said Mob. There was nothing else that she could say. They were her best friends next to Master Reigen. They didn't need to know what she had been witness to. Nobody needed to share in the burden of what she had seen.

No amount of therapy would ever make this ok.
