Chapter 4: Reset
Kalin punched him.
The cogs and wheels of Crow's brain stuck, unable to turn; that simple phrase jamming his entire though process.
Kalin punched him.
It wasn't even just the punch, or the pain radiating from his abdomen. It was the look on Kalin's face; the remorseless hate and belief that Crow actually deserved it.
"I'm out," he said quietly, standing back up. Without meeting anyone's gaze, he walked away, even as Kalin continued to scream, and stubbornly ignored the prickling heat behind his eyes.
To Crow's surprise, Jack followed only a moment later. No one spoke as they left Kalin and Yusei behind, but there was a silent shared message. Both had given up, even if Yusei was still willing to believe.
Away from the others, once Crow found his voice, he declared in a tone without room for debate, "I'm staying with you tonight."
Jack bristled only slightly. "Well, don't expect me to cuddle with you."
But later that night, Crow crept into Jack's room, careful not to wake the other teen, and curled up next to him.
By the time Jack awoke the next morning, Crow was long gone.
Because Crow be stealthy! =3 I mean, he was able to break into some area of Sector Security, steal cards, and escape. That takes skill. So even though I imagine Jack to be a light sleeper, Crow would be able to sneak in and out without him knowing.
