Flirting With Death
4. Thank You
It had taken some major convincing, but Sakura finally felt ahead enough in her work to go out for an actual full-on frat party. It helped that she knew enough people to feel comfortable, and she’d actually been having a fun time – right up until she saw him leaning against the wall, watching with the kind of nonchalance that would’ve had girls crawling over him, provided they could see him and that the didn’t know he was, well Death.
“What are you doing here?!” she hissed, looked around furtively before grabbing his arm and pulling him into the bathroom. She locked the door, and turned to glower at him, accusingly.
“You followed me.”
“I’m working.”
“Here?” she paled as her eyes grew large in her face. “At a party?”
“With this much binge drinking going on, are you surprised?” he scoffed. “At least three of the residents here have had alcohol poisoning to the degree that I was five or so minutes from having to make a first and final introduction.”
She paled, and her breath caught in her throat.
“Is…is that why you are here? To take someone?”
“No,” he said calmly, and she visibly deflated with relief. “I have other cause to be here. Starting with your drink.”
