Akaza POV
My first impression of him wasn’t the greatest. Neither was the second impression…or the third. Overall I quickly found out that I actually hated him. He was a punk, rude and arrogant. He had no remorse for others and did whatever the hell he wanted whenever he wanted to do it. It infuriated me that I was stuck with him. But as Muzan ordered, we were stuck as partners for at least a month.
“You’re so bitter. Do you ever loosen up?” y/n drawled in his usual bored tone he used when he was around me. He treated me like I was meant to give him entertainment through the whole night, becoming apathetic and pouty when I refused to give him anything that he wanted. I swear he was like a child that didn’t get the toy they wanted.
“Don’t talk to me,” I hissed back, already tired of his bullshit even as the night had just barely begun. I could feel y/n’s glare burning my back but I shrugged off the sensation. His mean looks weren’t enough to make me crumble as he’s found out plenty of times. When it came to it, I had no trouble putting him back in his place as his superior.
I strode ahead of him, not glancing back once and not so secretly hoping to lose him on the trail. Tonight could be completed by myself anyways, I didn’t need him here to help me in the way he thought he could. Perhaps I could bribe him to stay behind and tell Muzan he had assisted me so we didn’t get in trouble but the plan felt foolish and I knew y/n would happily accuse me.
Growling to myself, I felt myself becoming heated whenever I was even by him. Sometimes I didn’t even know what it was that bothered me so much. Even just hearing him breathe made me want to tear him apart. There had to be a way to get rid of him at least for a bit so I could collect myself because this wasn’t working for either of us. The moment I felt his foot step on the heel of mine, I snapped.
“Get the fuck away from me,” I hissed, swiveling around to push him away. He stumbled a couple steps, caught by surprise of my sudden aggression. I was a bit shocked myself but it felt so good to see the brief flicker of fear in his eyes as his gaze lifted to look at me indignantly. His expression immediately soured after as he growled lowly.
“What the hell is your problem? You’re acting like a child,” he sneered distastefully. At least his bored expression was gone but my anger was still only rising as I glared at him. I couldn’t even manage a laugh at what he had said, instead pointing an accusatory finger towards him.
“I’m a child? You need to be entertained every second or you start pouting like a goddamn infant! I’m tired of having to deal with you and I swear the moment Muzan releases us as partners, I’m tearing you apart,” I threatened, feeling delight at the mere thought of it. I couldn’t wait for that day when I’d be able to show him just how much I despised everything he did. He’d pay for all the disrespect and for the glare he was giving me now as he took a step closer to me.
“So why don’t you do it now? What’s actually stopping you from punishing me how you see fit? I think you’re just a coward, Akaza. All bark and no bite,” he smirked, tilting his head up haughtily. My teeth clenched painfully as I stepped closer to him, our bodies close enough that I could shove him again and a part of me might just do it. I hated the victorious shine in his eyes.
“Fuck you,” I spat, my hands reaching out to push him back. He was ready for it this time as he snatched my wrists before I could reach his chest. His grip was strong and firm as I tried to yank my hands away with no luck. The smirk on y/n’s face enraged me further as I started to jolt desperately to get away from him. Was he always this fucking strong?
“I’m not going to lie, you’re actually kinda cute like this,” his voice quietly admitted. My body froze its movements as my eyes widened, all my anger draining into curiosity and embarrassment. Y/n looked at me as if he was surprised with what he said as well but he didn’t release his hold on my wrists, his grip only tightening as the tension between us increased.
“Why would you say something so stupid? Let go of me,” I hissed again but even I could tell that my words were losing their ferocity as my face began to warm despite myself. Never has anyone talked to me like that and I wasn’t sure why y/n was but my expressions were definitely revealing how I truly felt even as I tried to summon my anger from earlier to no avail. Y/n could see this too as he smiled warmly, the sight shocking me further.
“Now I see why you haven’t gotten rid of me yet. Well played Akaza,” he smirked, tugging me close to his chest as I grunted in surprise. He leaned in quickly, something warming my lips for a split second as my mind went numb and my legs shook. There was no way. “I’ll let you do this alone and tell Muzan we were together but I expect more payment later.”
I couldn’t even process y/n’s words as he walked away, releasing me from his hold as if he hadn’t just kissed me out of the blue. My hands lifted to my burning face as I wondered if I was losing my mind before I turned away to continue in the direction we had been heading before. Now I definitely couldn’t get y/n out of my mind as my body heated up in a way that wasn’t from hatred.
