Mamori accidentally overheard Hiruma's conversation with his father. She watched the retreating figure of the blonde devil quarterback and saw how he had thrown his CP on the waste can. Her 'motherly instinct' kicked in, so she followed him beyond the dark and empty corridors of the stadium.
"H-Hiruma-kun?" she called after him.
Hiruma stopped on his tracks but didn't face her. "What the hell are you doing here, fucking manager?" he asked.
"W-well..." she doesn't know what to say!
"Why don't you go with those brats? Go back to them and tell them that there'll be an afternoon practice," he grunted. "Time is gold, so as they always say."
"H-Hiruma-kun… I saw you threw your phone… and the one who called you... is your father, right? I-I'm sorry if I-"
That's when Hiruma turned around to face her. He looked at her with those deep penetrating green eyes. Then he grinned maniacally.
"You are one nosy manager,eh?" He rooted something in his pocket. "Kekekeke, I think I might have recorded that in my devil handbook." He flipped the note open and began scribbling there while cackling like a devil himself.
"W-why did you ignore him? H-he just wanted to talk to you-"
"'Tch! You don't know what you're talking about, damn manager," Hiruma eyed her seriously. "The best that you can do is to stop acting like a damned mother hen."
Mamori bit her lower lip. "But if you need someone you could talk to...I- I'm just...here...you can talk to me."
"I don't need a fucking baby sitter! Stay away from me, got it?"
"And what if..." she watched Hiruma's eyes glint dangerously at her. She wet her lips nervously. "What if... I don't?"
To her surprise, Hiruma leaned closer to her. Her face was a few inches away from him. She could even smell him; he smelled like gunpowder and mint.
And to her surprise and annoyance, she finds his scent comforting. She wields her face not to blush at their close proximity. It also seems that her heart stopped beating for a while. They stood there for like an eternity. His cold green eyes meet her warm blue eyes.
"H-Hiruma- "
"Stay away from me. Or else, you are so gonna regret it, fucking manager." With that, he suddenly moves away from her and walks away leaving her in a daze.
