>It was a time consuming drive but you finally made it to the mall
-
2.
>You found a space to park and walked to the entrance with girls
-
3.
>You walked in and was presented with a board displaying a map of the entire mall
-
4.
"Okay, so we are here and the food court is near the center of whole building."
-
5.
>"Where is the nearest clothes shop?"
-
6.
>Adagio really wanted those bathing suits
-
7.
"It says there's one along the way to the food court."
-
8.
>"Perfect. We'll shop for the clothes first then continue to the food court."
-
9.
>"Aww man."
-
10.
>Sonata didn't sound too thrilled
-
11.
>You all began walking past all the other stores
-
12.
>Some sold electronics, books, toys, until finally arriving at the first clothes store
-
13.
>The girls ran in there and started to look through all the shelves and racks
-
14.
>You chose to stay near the entrance and wait for them to finish
-
15.
>It didn't take long but Aria was the first to make a selection
-
16.
-
17.
>You saw she had a few different articles on hand
-
18.
"That's everything you're gonna get?"
-
19.
>"Yeah, I just chose what fits and looks okay."
-
20.
>Guess she wasn't too heavy on worrying about what she was wearing
-
21.
>The other two seemed to be taking quite a while though
-
22.
>"You mind if we go looking around the other shops while they finished?"
-
23.
>You were a little shocked at this request of hers
-
24.
>'She' wants to spend time with 'you'?
-
25.
>'Alone'?
-
26.
"Sure."
-
27.
>You went over to the cashier and payed for Aria's clothes then both of you went exploring the other shops
-
28.
-
29.
>You ended up following close behind her as she walked around inside the nearby shops
-
30.
>You weren't doing much browsing
-
31.
>You mainly stayed close as she looked around
-
32.
>She had a fair expression on the entire time
-
33.
>Not grumpy nor happy
-
34.
>You weren't doing or thinking about anything but the warmth started growing inside you
-
35.
>You came to the electronic shop and they also sold phones here
-
36.
>You thought of the idea of buying one for them
-
37.
>At least one of those prepaid ones
-
38.
>This way they can call you if they need you for anything
-
39.
>Aria continued to look around while you rung up the phones
-
40.
>You completed the purchase and whatnot and walked over to Aria
-
41.
"Here."
-
42.
>You hand her the phone
-
43.
>"What's this for?"
-
44.
"In case you need me for anything or stuff."
-
45.
>She replied with such sarcasm
-
46.
>"Yeah, I'll be sure to call you next time I need someone to grope me without permission."
-
47.
>She still doesn't seem to accept it was just an accident
-
48.
>She kept the phone though so that made you feel glad
-
49.
>You already put your number into Aria's phone so you started putting it in the other two as you both made your way back to the clothes shop
-
50.
>Sonata was near the entrance waving at you two
-
51.
>"Why'd you guys leave? You didn't get to see us try our clothes?"
-
52.
"Sorry, we wanted to have a look around while you two got done picking something out."
-
53.
>"Well come on, I want to go eat already."
-
54.
>You chuckled and followed her with Aria back into the shop
-
55.
-
56.
>Inside the shop you see Adagio standing next to the cashier with her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face
-
57.
>Maybe she was upset you left
-
58.
>Normally her reaction would cause the chill to return but you remained unaffected
-
59.
>You hear Aria huff before brushing past you
-
60.
>Now the chill did come but why from her
-
61.
>The first thing that popped into your head was to pay for the clothes
-
62.
"Oh right, right. Sorry about that."
-
63.
>You walk over to Adagio and see a pile of clothes sitting on the counter between her and the cashier
-
64.
"I'll pay for those."
-
65.
>The cashier gave a puzzled expression
-
66.
>The chill faded as you handed her your credit card
-
67.
>Her expression changed to a 'whatever' and completed your purchase
-
68.
>She bags the clothes and hands them to you
-
69.
>You were about to hand each of them their bag but a rising chill made you decide against it
-
70.
>You held onto Sonata and Adagio's bags as all four walked out of the shop
-
71.
-
72.
>You followed behind the three of them as you headed to the food court
-
73.
>You look towards Aria and notice she's been holding her own bag the entire time
-
74.
>There was no chill but you still felt bad you didn't hold it for her before you left to explore the other shops
-
75.
>The lack of a chill left you with the next decision
-
76.
>You scurry close to Aria's side
-
77.
"You want me to hold your bag?"
-
78.
>"What!?"
-
79.
>Her reaction was not the one you imagined
-
80.
"Your bag. You want me to hold it for you?"
-
81.
>You point to the bag in her hand
-
82.
>"Oh 'bag'. I thought you said . . ."
-
83.
>She turned red and immediately stopped her thought
-
84.
>What did she think you said?
-
85.
>She began raising the bag towards your outstretched palm
-
86.
>She gives a quick glance at the other two girls behind your shoulders before moving the bag to her other hand
-
87.
>"No thanks. I can carry it myself. I'm not some prissy little princess who needs a slave to do things for her."
-
88.
>You weren't insulted when she called you a 'slave' but felt put down by her response
-
89.
"Oh, okay. Sure, I was just wondering . . ."
-
90.
>"I don't need you to do things for me unless I ask you to, okay?"
-
91.
>You nod and fall back behind them again
-
92.
>You should be upset but that conversation created a warmth inside you
-
93.
-
94.
>Reaching the food court, Sonata dashes for the nearest vendor
-
95.
>You and the other two find a table to sit at
-
96.
>Adagio takes up nearly a whole bench as she lifts her legs onto it
-
97.
>You sit on the other side placing the bags down on the table
-
98.
>Aria sets her bag on top of the others and sits on the side you're on aswell
-
99.
>The three of you sit there while Sonata blurs past each food place
-
100.
>Looking at the bags you remember the phones you bought
-
101.
>You reach in and grab the two remaining phones out
-
102.
"Adagio, I got these for you guys so you can call me if you need anything. My number is already inside."
-
103.
>You stand up and walk around the table to Adagio's side and hand her the phone
-
104.
>She takes it and immediately starts texting in it
-
105.
>She puts it away and looks at you with a smug look waiting for your response
-
106.
>You feel your phone vibrate in your pocket and proceed to pull it out
-
107.
>You open the message and read it in your head
-
108.
>'You'll feel me vibrate for you whenever I want now ;p'
-
109.
>You got a shiver and slowly backed away to your seat
-
110.
>You didn't realize but you sat down a few inches closer to Aria
-
111.
>You placed the other phone down across from you for Sonata, assuming Adagio will put her legs down so she can sit
-
112.
>You put your phone away, leaving vibrations on, and waited for Sonata to come back
-
113.
>It didn't take long
-
114.
>She rushed down next to Aria, forcing her to move closer to you
-
115.
>Aria gave her a grouchy face
-
116.
>"You, guys! There is sooo much food here. I can't decide what I want first!"
-
117.
"First? We're only getting one meal."
-
118.
>"Awww."
-
119.
>Sonata put on a frown
-
120.
>Adagio brings her legs down and reaches for the phone you set down
-
121.
>"Sonata, catch!"
-
122.
>She slides it down, almost towards Aria
-
123.
>Sonata reacts with almost cat like reflexes and moves in for the phone
-
124.
>She forces Aria to bump right next you as she grabs it
-
125.
-
126.
>She had a shocked expression while you had a clueless one
-
127.
>You notice her burning cheeks and immediately get up from your seat
-
128.
"So what do you girls want to eat!"
-
129.
>You shouldn't have done that
-
130.
>A deep chill started to grow
-
131.
>You thought she was uncomfortable and that getting up was the right thing to do
-
132.
>You thought of sitting back down but that made the chill worse
-
133.
>You couldn't take back your action
-
134.
>Adagio and Sonata immediately stand up and walk you away to order food
-
135.
>Few seconds pass before Aria snaps out of her shock and follows behind
-
136.
>They stop you a few feet away from the counter
-
137.
>Adagio leaves you and heads back to Aria while Sonata starts ordering
-
138.
>They were whispering to each other while facing away from you
-
139.
>You tried to listen before a hand on your chin turned you to face the counter
-
140.
>This action seemed somewhat odd coming from Sonata
-
141.
>You'd assume she would just grab your arm and throw you to the cashier
-
142.
>You forget about the whispering and follow Sonata to buy the the food
-
143.
>You pay and turn to see that the other two had gone
-
144.
"Where are the others?"
-
145.
>"Hm, I don't know. Maybe they went to the restroom, which reminds me, I should go too."
-
146.
>She skips away and leaves you waiting for your order to be done
-
147.
>As she turns a corner, you start thinking about the chill you got
-
148.
>Usually these chills come when an action you do would be negative towards any of them
-
149.
>Seeing Aria's reaction made you think standing up would be positive but was not
-
150.
>. . .
-
151.
>'She wanted me to stay next to her?'
-
152.
-
153.
>If someone could hear your heart they would hear it implode into itself then release into thousands of shards of glass that tear into your lungs
-
154.
>You were taking in large gasps of air as you could feel yourself drowning in the thought of seeing them upset with your actions
-
155.
>Aria displayed a very tough exterior but if you managed to break her down to tears . . .
-
156.
>Now images of Aria crying poured in
-
157.
>You clenched your chest for fear of your heart falling out as it grew heavy with your souring blood
-
158.
>You were in full control when you decided to stand up
-
159.
>You were the one who moved away from her
-
160.
>You were the one who brought this unsettling feeling to yourself
-
161.
>You were disgusted with yourself
-
162.
>You began thinking of the warmth you felt while walking with her earlier and how you'll never feel it again
-
163.
>There was a tugging in your mind felt across your forehead
-
164.
>Your legs weren't running after her so your brain planned on doing it itself
-
165.
>You closed your eyes and covered your ears to seal any exits
-
166.
>You could hear nor see nothing
-
167.
>Most of your brain was still trying to chase after her but this darkness let you hear a second thought
-
168.
>A different thought
-
169.
>It felt strange, almost alien, and it wasn't moving with the rest
-
170.
>It lay at the back of your mind and was holding back the rest
-
171.
>'Escape while they are gone'
-
172.
-
173.
>'Escape?'
-
174.
>'From who?'
-
175.
>You tried reassuring yourself that you were with them willingly
-
176.
>You were only here to help them
-
177.
>To keep them safe
-
178.
>To make them happy
-
179.
>Their happiness was important to you
-
180.
>But they didn't seem happy right now
-
181.
>"Sir? Your order is done."
-
182.
>You open your eyes to see one of your hands gripped onto your opposite wrist
-
183.
>You didn't realize your hands had moved down from your head
-
184.
>"Sir?"
-
185.
>You spin around to face the cashier who was waiting with your food
-
186.
>Your mind went silent as you slowly moved over to pick up the food then turned to walk back to the table
-
187.
>You set the food down then sat back where you previously were
-
188.
>You set all of their meals in their seats then waited patiently for their return
-
189.
>You stared at the empty seats before looking down at your meal
-
190.
>You hungered but not for food
-
191.
>You wanted their affections
-
192.
>Their approval
-
193.
>Their forgiveness
-
194.
>You return focus to your plate and see a drop of blood
-
195.
>You bring a finger up to your nose and see it's bleeding
-
196.
>'Don't lose yourself. Escape!'
-
197.
>It was that foreign part of your mind speaking on its own
-
198.
>'Their grip is weakened. Escape!'
-
199.
>You grab a napkin and wipe the blood away
-
200.
"I don't want to leave them."
-
201.
>'Don't fall for them again!'
-
202.
>This voice was slowly fading
-
203.
>Your ears perk up as the sound of chanting began to grow behind you
-
204.
>You don't turn as you hear it get closer to you
-
205.
>You feel like smiling
-
206.
>The sight of Sonata and Adagio walking past your table made your heart come alive
-
207.
>They continue to walk to the other end of the court
-
208.
>You feel a hand rest on your shoulder and another one is immediately brought up to your chin
-
209.
>Both force your body to turn in your seat where you are greeted with Aria's face
-
210.
>You see her give a worried glance at the other two who haven't turned to face the table yet
-
211.
>She moves both her hands to your head and brings your lips up to hers
-
212.
>Your heart skips a beat
