A Game Of Tag With Your Beloved.
It was the night before you were supposed to hang out with Yuuka, Noa and Koyuki. Yuuka was sitting by her desk in the Millennium Tower's Seminar office, glaring down at her tablet from time to time while shuffling through budget reports. The room was quiet besides the sounds of papers being moved around and the occasional scratch of her pen.
Yuuka: "Alright... So, GDD's request for a new pair of Retro consoles. Denied, too expensive... Engineering Departments request for upgraded tools. Approved, could be beneficial..."
She muttered to herself softly while continuing to look through the documents, accepting and denying funds for different clubs... And also monitoring Senseis spending, which to nobodys surprise they were bad... She sent Sensei an angry message on momotalk like she always did.
It was getting late, and she only had a few more reports... Her eyes drifted across the papers, landing on a particular expense report... A frown crept across her face...
Yuuka: "... Wait a second..."
She picked up the document, her eyes squinted at the numbers.
A brand new high quality, basically a AAA Game purchase. Full price. Not on a sale. Not a discount.
The Timestamp was yesterday... And right below that? A couple of other transactions. Some fumo plushies, overpriced snacks, some figurines, and alot of other expensive and unnecessary purchases... आप spent money on things before, but never this much money...
Yuukas eyebrows twitched, she tapped the table with her finger rapidly, the sound echoing in the empty room...
Yuuka: "They wouldnt... They wouldnt be that reckless... Right?..."
The 2 other Seminar members were quietly sitting in the corner of the room, Noa sitting on a chair while Koyuki was lounged in a bean bag. Noa peeked over, a little bit confused, her voice as calm as always...
Noa: "Yuuka? Is something wrong?"
Yuuka set the report down quickly with a quiet thud.
Yuuka: "Something is really wrong... आप has apparently thought that theyre as rich as Sensei... I mean, im not paying for them, but they spent a fuck ton of money!"
Koyuki glanced up while holding an open bag of rip-off chips, since Yuuka forced them to... She snorted, leaning back against the wall.
Koyuki: "Oooh! Did they buy something Stupid? Was it those Robot things Sensei buys? Gacha currency? It was some in-game currency wasnt it?"
Yuuka slammed her fist down into the table, clearly very mad... Yuukas eyes were filled with anger...
Yuuka: "No, not currency... They bought, an expensive AAA Game... It cost like, like alot! The sale starts next week!" Her voice sharpened. "Do they even know what they couldve bought with that money?! I am supposed to help them save money, and they do this?!"
Koyuki took a chip from the bag, placing it into her mouth before speaking again.
Koyuki: "Eh, sounds like a they-problem. Or a you-problem if you prefer that."
Noa just sat there in quiet silence, knowing that Yuuka will punish आप severly...
Noa: "Okay, well, we already know your gonna probably torture them..."
Yuuka stood up, giving an angry glare towards Koyuki. She walked towards the door, deciding to deal with it now instead of tomorrow...
Yuuka: "You damn right i am! Now, if you'll excuse me, i will find them."
Yuuka walked out into the halls, marching towards your dorm. Luckily, as soon as Yuuka left the room, Koyuki already messaged you on Momotalk that Yuuka was coming after you... If she didnt message you, then you wouldve already been dead.
The Millennium Campus was quiet, saved for the sounds of birds chirping outside and a few students snickering around the place... Yuuka, however, was stalking through the hallways, almost like a bounty hunter... She checked your dorm, nothing, the cafeteria, the library, even outside near the vending machines. No sign of you.
She muttered under her breath, her voice still angry.
Yuuka: "Hiding from me, huh? Do they think they can hide forever? This isnt some game of tag..."
Noa followed a few steps behind, holding a tablet.
Noa: "Dont you think your being too harsh? You did spend alot of yen for their valentines gif-"
Yuuka abruptly cut them off, blushing a little from that memory...
Yuuka: "T-that was different! Besides, that still wasnt equally expensive to what they bought yesterday!"
Meanwhile, आप was wedged inside of an air vent in one of Millenniums less used corridors. It was dark, dusty, and smelled almost of old electronics, which was better than what Yuuka would do to them. Every so often, a muffled thump-thump of other students steps echoed from somewhere nearby. Maybe sometimes it was Yuuka, sometimes another student.
Through the vent slats, आप could just barely see through. They could see her pass by, checking a nearby storage room. Her eyes were narrowed, focused, almost predatory.
Yuuka: "Oh where could they be..."
Koyukis voice suddenly rang out from somewhere down the hall.
Koyuki: "Hey, Yuuka~! I think i saw आप heading towards the science lab."
Yuuka immediately spun around, probably facing Koyuki even tho you couldnt quite see them...
Yuuka: "Is there a reason why i dont believe you?"
Koyuki giggled a little,
Koyuki: "No, no, Totally not lying!"
Yuuka didnt have any better idea, so she dashed off, her pajama clothes swaying around her. Her Submachine guns bouncing lightly on their slings. Noa sighed and walked up to Koyuki, murmuring.
Noa: "Koyuki, that was such a lie..."
Back in the vent, आप stifled a small laugh. They could hear Yuuka's voice growing fainter as she moved away. For now, they were safe... For now...
