I forgot my keys

The blue assassin who saw all his teammates get killed by a single man whose shirt isn't even tainted by a single drop of blood couldn't help but shiver when Atlas looked at him. 'He's probably going to torture me to get information, I better die than suffer' this is what the assassin was thinking at the moment.

"You'll pay for this!" the assassin said as he bit off his tongue. Atlas who saw this rush towards the assassin to prevent him from suiciding, but a hand pulled him.

"Let him die," Alia said coldly. Even though she's still in shock after seeing Atlas defeat 4 highly trained assassins she still has her reasonings. The assassin won't give them any information even if they tried to pry him open, they've been trained to keep secrets. Staying any longer will only bring more harm than good.

'What a cold woman' Atlas said in his head after hearing her statement. He's clueless about the reason why Alia wants the assassin to die. He shivered in fear of her after realizing how cold she is. He vowed to never offend this woman again. Then he remembered that Alia shouted at him at the convenience store. 'She won't kill me right?' Atlas said in his head as he looked towards Alia's cold beautiful face.

Alia who felt the gaze of Atlas couldn't help but turn her around and meet his gaze head-on. After seeing the expression on Atlas' face she couldn't help but blush and hide her face from him 'Why is he looking at me like that?' Alia said in her head as she blushed for unknown reasons. After seeing that gaze she has forgotten the fact that Atlas just killed 4 people.

"Let's go home!" Alia said in her cold voice. Atlas just followed her to avoid being killed by her. However, after several turns Atlas noticed that they're going in circles, they still haven't found the exit from this alley.

'Scan for the exit' Atlas commanded. He decided to take this into his hands because Alia is getting lost again.

'Scan Complete'

The system gave him a complete 3d mad that indicates the route towards the exit of this dark alley.

Atlas saw that Alia was about to take a turn again grabbed her hand and pulled her as he walks towards the exit. He just wanted to go home by now. It's been a very long day for him, he got scolded, he discovered a lab, he found out the identity of the old man, he runs together with Alia, and he killed 4 persons. All of this happened in one night.

After they reached the main street Atlas let go of Alia's hands. Alia felt somehow disappointed after seeing this.

"Aren't you gonna ask me about what happened?" Alia took the initiative to ask him, after all, he saved her life not only once but twice. He couldn't be considered as a stranger to her anymore.

"I don't want to know, knowing what it is will only bring more harm than good" Atlas said, even though he's curious about what just happened it's not enough to pass through his cautious personality. The situation involves lives, it's not a small matter. Knowing more will only harm him, so he'd rather be ignorant than be involved in this matter.

After hearing this Alia gets the point of Atlas. Knowing more will only bring harm indeed, plus she can't afford to expose her identity yet. Their family doesn't only have one enemy, exposing herself means exposing the weakness of their family.

The walk under the moonlight proceeded in silence. The two of them is still in shock, death and killing isn't something that one can disregard easily. Especially for Atlas, he "killed" 4 persons even though it's the old man who controlled his body, he still felt and saw everything. Even Alia who was already exposed to this cruel world couldn't help but shiver in fear earlier what more to Atlas who never anticipated that he would kill someone in his life.

2:00 am

They arrived at the boarding house by 2:00 am, even though the cube is providing him energy for his body, he is mentally exhausted. He was just so happy right now that he survived this calamity. Every time that he encounters a death experience it always revolves around Alia. So, he decided to put some distance between the two of them otherwise time will come where he won't even know how he died.

They entered the Boarding house without talking to each other. By the time the two of them reach the hallway, they immediately separated ways and face their own rooms. However, the two of them are waiting who's going to be the first one to enter their room.

"Thank you…" Alia whispered softly but it's enough for Atlas to hear. Atlas already saved her life 2 times she probably can't repay him for that all she could do is say thank you and vow silently to fulfill whatever favor Atlas will ask her in the future.

"It's nothing, let forget what happened this night" Atlas said. He wants her to forget everything because he doesn't want to be involved in whatever situation Alia is in. After saying that he searched his clothes for his keys, only then did he remembered that he didn't bring his spare keys with him when he went out earlier.

*Knock* *Knock*

Atlas knocks on the door to wake fatty up. "I forgot my keys!" Atlas shouted. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed by shouting the middle of the night. And what Flint's response even made it more embarrassing.

*Snore* *Snore*

Flint was snoring loudly!

"WAKE UP YOU FAT PIG!" Atlas shouted.

Atlas was in despair; the other tenants woke up from their sweet sleep and is currently glaring at him. He doesn't dare to shout or slam the door because he'll only ire the anger of these neighbors. Luckily someone saved him.

"How about staying in our room?" Alia said after seeing his dilemma, this should be considered as her small way of paying him back for saving her life 2 times. Atlas look around and he saw the gaze of his neighbors that says: 'Let us sleep okay?!' He has no choice but to agree to the offer of Alia. Stubbornly staying here making noises to wake Flint up will only make the neighbors throw him out of the building. He vowed to beat Flint up tomorrow morning as he grits his teeth in anger.

"Come in!" Alia said.

"Beatrice isn't around" This statement of Alia made Atlas sweat all over his body.

"So you mean to say we'll sleep in this room all alone?" Atlas asked as his palm sweats from his nervousness. 'I'm not yet ready for "that" though' Atlas said in his head as he began to imagine things. Sadly, his imagination was interrupted by what Alia said next.

"I'll sleep on her bed you'll sleep in mine—I mean you sleep on my bed I will sleep on the bed of Beatrice" Alia clarified, she couldn't help but blush after realizing that her first statement was a bit weird.

*AWKWARD SILENCE*

Alia was fidgeting her fingers while Atlas was playing with his foot in awkwardness. They are so awkward that their faces are blushing red like tomatoes.

'Aish! I hate this!'

"Let's sleep!" the two of them said at the same time.

*Blush*

Alia can't take it anymore and just ran to Beatrice's Bed and buried her face in the pillow. Atlas who saw everything find her super cute. Who would have thought that the cold girl has this cutesy side in her. Atlas went to the other bed, which was obviously Alia's.

Atlas pulled up the Blanket and was ready to lay down in the bed when he saw something, it was a bit vague he already has his guess but he decided to take a closer look to be sure. And he got it right then he noticed that blood was already dripping down his nose after seeing Alia's upper undergarments.

'So, she like the color black huh?' Atlas said in his head after seeing the color of it, he couldn't help but imagine things.

Alia who was supposed to be sleeping suddenly remembered that she left her bra on the Bed. She immediately stood up from her bed but she saw Atlas staring at it intently, blood rushed through her face. She can't scream to express her frustration all she could do was to rush towards Atlas and push him away from the bra.

And fate played with her again, Atlas who she pushed fell towards the edge part of the bed if his head slammed on it, it will definitely injure him. Seeing this she immediately rushed towards the falling Atlas and put her hand on the back of his head and move it a bit to dodge the edge of the bed. Atlas' head was able to dodge the edge of the bed thanks to Alia, but something hit him instead. As if everything went slow-mo Atlas' and Alia's Lips slowly touched each other as Alia fall on top of Atlas.

*Bogsh*

Touch down, they fell on the floor with their lips still in contact with each other. Wide eyes both of them look at each other, as blood rushed through their faces causing it to blush.

*Thump* *Th--* *PAAAAK*

The supposedly romantic scene Atlas was imagining in his head was crushed by a powerful slap causing him to be knocked down. Alia who saw that her slap knocked him down immediately panicked. She put her finger on under his nose, gladly he's still breathing.

'That's my first kiss you fool! Hmph!' Alia thought in her head as she stands up and left Atlas asleep on the floor.
