Title: Mind games
Kiyotaka pov
Matsuo left the room with a gruntled smile on his face leaving only me and katagiri. What was i supposed to do! Make a joke?
Taking in a deep breath i willed myself towards him, "We'll be together for quite awhile we should become friends" now how will he react?
"Sure"
Great!
"You can call me kiyotaka"
"And you can call me yuichi"
He didn't say anything after that creating an awkward silence
"Uhhh want to check out the garden" i point through the window
"No but i'm planning to go have some fun want to follow" he stares at me waiting for an answer
Wanting to get to know him better i nodded my head almost immediately
"Nice, don't worry there's going to be a nice surprise for you at the end"
Timeskip
With the permission of matsuo we were allowed to go out
It was my first time actually seeing the lights of the modern and i relinquish every step of the pavements and every breath of fresh air provided by the greeny trees
Eventually we arrived at a fancy looking restaurant
"Did you even bring cash?" I asked remembering that we brought him in only after making sure that he had nothing in his possession
"Nope" he says before strolling in
'maybe he has contacts' i hoped
Following behind him he walked past the receptionists with confidence and headed into the dining room.
"Wait here" he tells me before grabbing a cup of water from the water cooler and heading in
Yuichi pov
I looked around for my target and immediately found a fool. Getting close i accidentally trip on the carpet and splash the water onto his pants
As he was on the older side of life he didn't really react but his family was about to pounce on me

"Gomen Gomen" i bowed multiple times
"How about i get you a bottle of their most expensive wine as an apology" i signal the waiter for the wine
"Well thank you good sir" a man in his 30's donning an extremely expensive suit bowed his head in thanks
"Don't worry about it" i winked at him
After an exchange in pleasantries i went to the waiter
"Sir can i get two ribs with ice tea and your most expensive desert to go please"
"Absolutely sir" he bows before going into the kitchen
Going back to the waiting area i sat next to Kiyotaka
"How are we going to pay?" He asks again
"We aren't going to"
He stays calm but a twitch here and there gave his nervousness away
"Just act confident" i lightly nudge his shoulder
After a few minutes a waiter hands me the food and drinks
"How are you going to pay sir"
"The lied family will be paying our bill" i pointed at them and hid the food and drinks behind the waiter
They waved back with bright smiles on their face
"Yes it seems everything is in order" the waiter nods his head
"Than let's go Alice" i left the restaurant at a comfortable pace
Kiyotaka pov
Once we left the restaurant we went under ground in the subway
"Where are you bringing me?" I asked cautiously
"Your surprise remember"
We slowly walked through a swamp of slime and goop and eventually reach a door
Opening it a dark room showed itself, yuichi went in and not really having any other choices i followed
Immediately after the door slammed shut behind me and the lights turned on
""
I dropped my food onto the ground as shock overtook my body
'my first friend betrayed me' the thought repeated in my mind over and over again

It hurts
Two guards restrain my arm but i brought them down in an instant
I looked him in the eye ""
"" a sickening smile grew on his face
"BANG!
He stops talking as a red liquid drools down the front of his face
"Wha" He mumbles out before falling forwards and onto the floor
"Surprise!!!" Yuichi shouts and fires the gun at the rest of the unconscious guards
I stood there in a state of confusion "What?"
Yuichi pov
"Like i said i plan the entire thing. I leaked information about the whiteroom to the government so it would be shut down, than i slowly planted ideas into matsuo head about freedom by placing a few children playing everywhere he went, than i met with the professor and said sweet nothings into his head till he was dancing to the tune of my plans, together i faked the failed whiteroom escape and allowed matsuo to find me" i explained my plan to the dumbfounded kiyotaka
"So you didn't betray me?" He was relief
"Of course not, but we should really get going" i pulled out an explosive from beneath the couch and set an alarm
//10.00//
"Where did you get the gun from?" He asks as we made our away
"I know a chef"
"Than why did you did you scam the family into paying our bill?"
'
"Haha because i didn't know the owner"
''
"Your free now how does that feel"
'
"Lighter" a genuine smile appeared on his face
'
Kiyotaka pov
//00:00//
As we walked a loud explosion sets off behind us. Everyone starts running except the two of us
"We look pretty badass don't we" he smirks at the panicking people around us
"I guess"

Blind Wastelands
[Royal Writathon April 2022 winner] (Support me on Patreon ) They say it was a war that blocked out the sun. They say it was poison bombs that reduced the land to rubble. The blind wastelands were what it was called now. Where there were once sprawling cities, farmlands, and crops that grew in the sun, sparkling waters that shone like diamonds, there was now darkness; a cloying, viscous darkness that filled men’s hearts with dread and sunk their bellies like stone. What remained of humanity scattered away from the darkness as much as they could, banding together in settlements lit with gas lamps and bonfires. A young man named Yunkef leaves his home at Settlement 41 to join a Scavenger team to bring back much-needed resources for his Settlement but finds there are much worse things in the darkness than just the beasts. He meets Lady Black.
