Null had followed her from the bus stop. When she'd stopped, he'd done the same. When she'd increased her pace, he'd done the same again. Always keeping at a certain distance.

Normally she'd have rather enjoyed the little game they'd had but this time something was a bit off.

She'd had him catch up to her... and he was strangely stiff.

"Why are you so moody?"

Really, he was in a bad mood and it was really obvious. He'd had bad days before but this time it really showed. To her anyway.

"I'm not."

"Yes you are. You just answered me and you never do that... what's wrong?"

True, he never answered her straight away without a moment's pause. Had she done something to irritate him (other than talk back just now)...?

He grabbed her arm -a little too roughly for her tastes.

"Come with me."

"Ahh!"

Sebille  almost lost her balance as she was forced to walk alongside him, their pace increasing seemingly.

"You don't need to drag me!"

Now, really... what was it this time? He wasn't acting like himself. He was cold and rough. Though, that was probably how he had been before, but it wasn't the Null she knew.

She was a little worried and slightly... only slightly scared.

Maybe someone was following him? But if they were, why would he be here following and toying with her. And why would he make such a scene out in public?

"Null, I'll come with you if you tell me what's the matter. And I'll shut up if you say I need to, but..."

" ..."

He looked serious (and dangerous), though he wasn't looking at her.

"If you don't give me an answer I won't move another muscle!"

And since he didn't:

She jerked her hand from his grip. He hadn't held her with much strenght, obviously not expecting her to pull away just like that. Or then he just didn't care enough.

"You will not drag me around just because you can!"

He looked slightly dumbfoulded but still irritated.

"I don't care if you're stronger, you have no right to do whatever you want to those weaker than you."

"If you want me to come with you, all you have to do is ask."

And if you feel bad about something, all you have to do is tell me.

She wished she could've said the last part out loud, too, but... she was much too angry to.

And she walked away, not caring if he'd follow or not.
