Ambrose’s pov

The first time met Hitori was earlier this year at small private event that father was hosting where I was forced to put on a stuffy mask because as father always said Thrownveils must never show their faces in public its for our protection still hate wearing though

I went to Father needing something and saw him talking to someone so i just stood next to him waiting for him to be done and thats where i saw hitori who was standing next to his father not moving a single inch just blending into the background

The thing that made me remember that fleeting encounter was the way he acted he just stood there looking bored he didn't even bother to join the conversation so i decided to extended my hand to greet him as we shook hands, he greeted me back and his tone was cold but somehow still professional

Which was very unusual because they usually do one of two thing they either fear offending me in some sort of way or will attempt to befriend me to use me for the benefits that my family offers its fun guessing how they will react

my brain kind of malfunctioned like is something wrong with him or is he simply not interested in talking to me what am I thinking that’s impossible

Father finish talking to the man from before and naturally Hitori followed him then i asked father who that boy was from before he told me he wasn’t really sure he but his father was the one responsible for taking care of the people we dont quite see eye to eye with

in short he probably owned some sort of assassin business but I don’t really care about so that  After the party I just ran background on him but I only found basic information about him like he is an Japanese male, age 17,height 5’10, and born on December 9 you know basic stuff like that

It wasn’t what I was look for but somethings you can only find out if you talk to them one on one in the end I realized I should have just approached him at party and I just let my chance to figure him out slip away but as father always says a Thornveil can do anything if they but their mind to it so I thought to myself why don’t I just create one

My plan was quite simple I ordered an assassination on an acquaintance that i know that won’t get killed easily and if he dies that his fault plus he only need to last long enough for me to get close to hitori because the report said the more difficult the target the high the rank of the assassin they send or even send a group and if difficulty is high enough the boss himself will look over the assignment and send his most elite assassin which means hitori will go with him and if everything goes right he will come to my school

Just as I planned the next time I saw Hitori was later that year when he joined my school halfway through the year he didn’t recognize me bc I wasn't wearing that dumb mask also because I joined the school under a fake name well it not really fake since Ambrose is technically my nickname but you get the point

this was my chance to final figure him out It should be easy enough to make him my friend because I made friends almost instantly so how hard could befriending one more person could be oh how I would come to regret uttering those words at first I thought he just was indifferent to me due to my status but turn out he just naturally like that

The more I try to get to know him the more i push him away like isn’t it suppose to be the opposite but I won’t give up i must know the reason why he thinks like that why he acts like that I must know

But just my luck he overheard my conversation with Harley and Nickolas in the bathroom which worsen our already nonexistent relationship the only reason I called him weird that day was because the literal definition is very strange,unexpected or not natural that that’s just how I view him its not my fault he took that as and insult

I am not one to go out of my way to insult and cause people trouble when Harley said those rumors all I did was agree something was off not confirm his suspicions I could have straight up told him the truth but I didn’t because as I said before I not the type of person who goes around telling people’s business plus I would need to tell them where I got it it that would not help me in any way

On my way back to class I noticed hitori’s glasses on the floor all I was going to do was return the I swear I didn’t mean to apply pressure them it was just and unconscious habit when I get mad but when I saw hitori is distress he finally look at me truly at me with some else beside that cold distant stare

I don’t know what came over me but I threw the glasses and as hitori is cry over the glass I thought what have I done I was so desperate to get his attention I ended hurting him I realized at this point I was just a bully who couldn’t take no for an answer this wasn’t the type of attention I wanted

then suddenly hitori punched me in the face then ran out while everyone was rushing to see if I was ok but even though I was punched in the face that wasn’t what hurt the most I need to apologize to hitori I will make this right

When I got home I did my best to hide it I didn’t want to cause hitori any more trouble but Roycefound out and forced me to tell him what happened and before I knew it I was being dragged to hitori house and my brother was beating up hitori because of my actions I yelled at Royce to stop I wasn’t even sure if he was going to but fortunately he did but.
