They’re whispering again.
It’s easy to ignore. They’ve been whispering about him since their first day when Kanda punched a guy who started to talk to him in hopes of becoming his friend. Kanda thought he had made it clear he didn’t want friends and thus resorted to violence to get the guy to leave him alone. He had been warned beforehand. It wasn’t Kanda’s fault he didn’t listen.
“He’s heartless.” “Oh, keep away from him.” “Don’t even look at him. He might snap.”
Those are just some of the things he’s used to hearing. There are nicer things – “He sure doesn’t like being close to people” – that he hears and then there are things that are harsher – “The fucking girly jackass is coming”.
He’s learned to ignore them.
The time he isn’t spending in class or on the Quidditch field, he’s locked away in his room doing homework. He doesn’t go down for many meals, opting to grab something and head back to his room. He’d never admit that he gets rather lonely. That isn’t something he needs people to know. They might start to think he wants to hang around people. It was bad enough that damn Lenalee won’t leave him alone, but he can’t really punch the girl. It does help that he knows Lenalee from before his time at Hogwarts.
He likes to spend time wondering around the outskirts of the grounds, just outside the forest. He’s tried to venture in before, but there is always a professor who catches him. It’s annoying and he often gets in trouble for talking back to them. He doesn’t really care. Tiedoll won’t let the school expel him. Or at least that’s what he likes to think. The damn guardian might decide it will teach him a lesson if he’s expelled. He hopes that doesn’t happen. Those muggle schools are much worse than this damn school. He’d much rather stay here.
It’s a Friday night when he wonders to the edge of the forest. He hides behind a tree when he sees a group of professors walking back to the building. They are probably going to see if any students are still out before heading in themselves. It is past curfew, not that Kanda cares. He’s never cared.
The forest is dark as he approaches, a smirk pulling up his lips. There are so many stories about these woods and he’s found himself draw to the darkness, wondering how many of those stories are true.
He’s about to step foot in the forest when something pops out from behind the bushes. It’s rushing, hopping along the ground. It seems to be running from something. What, Kanda doesn’t know. He doesn’t get to find out either. Because the professors have walked back and they are scowling him about being out past curfew and being around the forest.
He ignores their words as he heads back in the direction of his dormitory, arms crossed over his chest. The damn rabbit distracted him and he hadn’t been able to hide from those stupid professors.
He’s half way to his dormitory room when he notices something is following him. A dark eyebrow raises and he turns to find out what idiot would even dare follow him around. He snaps his mouth shut before a retort can leave his lips, dark eyes shifting to see that same bunny on the ground, hopping along after him.
“The fuck,” he mutters, turning on his heels. He walks a few paces, turning to see the bunny hopping along behind him. The thing is following him and Kanda has no idea why it would be doing such a thing.
Kanda turns down the next hallway, hurrying down the hall in hopes of losing the damn thing. The second he is at the door to his dormitory, he hurries in after a muttered password and a grumble from the damn painting. The door is slammed closed before the rabbit can get inside.
