Warning: Hiruma’s foul language. Aphrodisiacs. Guns. Stalking.
A/N: This is my third fanfic about Es21 and HiruMamo. I wrote this after “Coward” on July 20, 2019. I originally planned this as a oneshot but since it’s too long, I decided to divide it into chapters.
Summary: Mamori and Hiruma went to Saikyoudai University after high school. They were not in a relationship. Or so they say. But one day, when Mamori was given aphrodisiac flowers; things started to turn into a very different ordeal both for the manager and the quarterback.
Chapter 7: Stalker
Agon knew that Hiruma’s lips were sealed so he would tell the woman what she wanted to know.
“That trash that gave you the flowers, he’s one hell of a stalker. A trash even lower than trash. He had a photo collection of you in large prints. Many were displayed as posters in his trashy room. He has photo albums of you in every game you were present at since high school to these days. You in this trashy university, the fucking classroom, in the practice field.’’ Agon paused and sneered. Hiruma pointed a gun at him but Agon still continued.
“Even in the trashy ladies changing room and bathroom. Those images were printed specially large. Some life-sized some even larger. Damn! He even has life-sized fuck-dolls that - ” Agon was cut off as he dodged rubber bullets from Hiruma’s guns.
Mamori had turned pale and the guys in the room looked at her with concern, anger making its way in their blood. Mamori suddenly felt unsecure. And she braced herself.
‘Even the baths and changing room?! Then that means someone was following her, had seen her naked, and even has photos of her in life size or bigger?! No, not just one. If Agon knows then that means he had seen it as well. And if Yagami had visitors in his room then does that mean they had seen the photos as well? And if Hiruma knew, then that means he had seen it as well. Right?’
Mamori had turned so pale that she looked green. Her mind processed several scenarios at once and she tried to recall and calculate when were the photo’s taken. She couldn’t imagine changing her clothes or taking a shower in the university anymore. She did not feel comfortable and safe to do so now.
Realization struck Mamori that she had relied too much on Hiruma’s notoriety for safety. She never doubted that she was unsafe because she knew people feared Hiruma and she had let her guard down too much to notice if someone’s up to something.
“Fucking Manager!” Hiruma yelled to her face. That brought her back to the present. “Tch. This is exactly why you didn’t need to know,” he muttered in exasperation.
To say Mamori felt annoyed or angry was an understatement. She felt betrayed. She stood up from her seat. “I didn’t need to know?!” she repeated his words in an icy voice that screamed danger. The room suddenly felt so cold and everyone was frozen. Even Agon.
They have never seen Mamori loose her cool like this. This is a first for Hiruma as well; so he did not know how to respond. Mamori never looked at him this coldly before and he felt like he was getting pierced. Her eyes clearly said ‘how could you betray me like this?’
“Hiruma (she removed -kun), you think I didn’t need to know this? Someone was stalking me. Peeping, taking pictures . . . god! Even in the bath?! And I didn’t need to know?” It took all of her to stop her tears from flowing. Hiruma was the one who said they are equals and he did not hide facts from her.
Hiruma wanted to look away from her accusing eyes. But he couldn’t. If he looked away even for a millisecond that would mean he was admitting that he had betrayed her. He just didn’t want her to feel unsecure, blow up, or throw a fit like this.
He was waiting for the right time to let her know if necessary. ‘Damn Agon.’ He wanted to kill the fucking dreads. What she didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her. But Hiruma knew as well that it wouldn’t be fair. He couldn’t breathe. He felt like he was suffocating as her eyes bored holes in his skull.
I thought you were better than this! Mamori’s eyes told him. Hiruma felt like something was shattered to pieces. If there was something between him and the manager, it was trust. And now it felt like all of it just crumbled to dust.
Mamori was disappointed in him. He had broken her trust. The only thing that kept them together. Hiruma’s mind went to overdrive looking for a way to salvage this situation. There must be a way out. He wanted to escape. But he knew running away was useless and it wasn’t his style. He just needed to face this head on like he always does. He wanted to yell at her. To say that none of this was his fault so why is she suddenly pinpointing at him like this? But that would just make the situation worse.
