Stalking Sonico

[sonicosuper]

Sonico didn't have work that day but she did have various things to do out and about. Around Attleton, however, Sonico did not seem her usual calm and collected self. She walked with more urgency, always looking over her shoulder, sometimes stopping just to stare around her as though listening or watching very carefully for something. Or someone.

*Just an opportunity for those that know about her birthday to give their birthday wishes. Sonico has probably only revealed the date of her birthday to her housemates, Sakuya, Ayame, and Namur. However, anyone else may have perhaps heard through the grapevine* 
 
Happy Birthday, Sonico. 21 years old - a real big deal for some people. But Sonico doesn't enjoy being the centre of attention (despite what she does for a living) so not many people know it's her birthday. Mobius, however, is one person who does know, and he's offered to take her out, much to her delight. She was so excited that she had forgotten all about her fears of the previous day - she was definitely sure that someone had been following her.

On her doorstep there was a large bouquet of flowers - how thoughtful! Who are they from? Her name is large in red writing on the envelope. Inside, the card features a message but no name of the sender:

Sonico, I hope these flowers make you happy.
I want to smell your happiness. I want to feel it on your flesh.
Only I can make you happy, Sonico. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me.

Unnerved, Sonico pushed the card back into the basket, and started briskly on her way to meet Mobius. She was desperate to get to him now, knowing he could keep her safe, and he'd help her forget about the crawling fear that was beginning to claw deeper inside of her. 

Because, on her walk to meet him, she was sure she could hear footsteps following her own as her heeled boots click clacked on the pavements. She was sure that every time she stopped, those footsteps stopped. Her device rang out and she answered in swiftly in alarm, only to be met by a deep and heavy breathing: "Where are you going, Sonico? Stay with me. Let me make you happy. Let me know your flesh, Sonico. You are all mine, you know. Only mine. All for me. All for me." Her hands shook and she all but threw her phone away. No. She needed to get to Mobius, as quickly as possible.

Despite her quickening footsteps, her long strides almost as fast as a jog, Sonico was sure that the horrible, wet breathing was just behind her. So close she could almost feel it. As she walked she was aware of the thudding in her chest and the tears starting in her eyes. At least she was almost at her meeting place. She couldn't get to Mobius quickly enough.

*In the moments that he was getting his words together, Sonico was imaginging all the possible things he might want to say to her. Perhaps he just needed to be alone, perhaps he had tired himself out by having to carry her here, perhaps...

Sonico opened her mouth, surprised and upset to hear he felt this way. She wanted to reassure him, but she said nothing, just allowing him to express how he felt. Knowing that he felt so little of himself hurt her deeply - she wanted to do everything in her power to make him feel better. Yet at the same time, knowing that she meant something to him filled her with a warmth she'd never felt before.

Again, she might have responded to reassure him, but then - then is telling her that he loves her and her heart was so full she thought it might burst.

At once, she stepped forward and touched him arm, standing close to him and gazing up with dazed but happy eyes. More than anything, she is amazed to hear these feelings from him - she had only dreamt that he might feel this way*

Mobius... I love you too. And I want to protect you too.

*She said it with a fierce determination - she knows that she is useless in many ways, but she also knows that she will do anything in her power to look after him and keep him happy and safe*
