The air in the apartment had shifted with them cracking light hearted jokes as they analyzed different texts.
Shizuo took a deep breath before putting down his pencil. "Thank God we're done," he said, stretching. "I was sure that it was over for me," he continued, looking at Misaki. She looks at him and gently smiles.
"That was good revision for me too," she replied, closing her book. "We have some time now… wanna play some games?" Shizuo asked eagerly. "Better believe you're getting destroyed," Misaki said, walking towards the couch and rolling her sleeves up.
The clock ticked as they laughed and bantered. "Oh my… it's so late, I should probably get going," said Misaki putting down the controller. "Sure, I'll walk you then…" replied Shizuo, putting his shoes on. As they walked through the quiet alleyways, Shizuo couldn't help but keep glancing at Misaki.
"Hey Misaki… thanks for today… I really had fun," he murmured awkwardly, keeping his gaze fixed forward.
Misaki glanced back at Shizuo and chuckled. "If you want to get destroyed again, all you have to do is just ask," she replied, gently bumping Shizuo with her arm. Shizuo shook his head with a smile on his face.
As Shizuo was saying his goodbyes to Misaki, he felt the gentle breeze carry her words. "See you tomorrow morning, Shizuo," she yelled while frantically waving him goodbye.
He hesitated for a moment.
"S-Same goes for you too," he shouted back, slowly waving back. As soon as he got back home, he ran straight to his room and sat on his bed with his hands covering his red face.
"No way… I had a girl over at my place… what the hell am I doing… was I too weird… did I make a mistake…" Jumbled thoughts kept haunting him as he got ready for bed.
He kept replaying the day over and over as he rinsed his face. He looked himself in the mirror as he finished.
"What am I going to do with her," he whispered to himself, smiling at the thought of her face.
The next morning, he was awakened to the annoying ringing of his alarm. After pressing snooze multiple times, he sluggishly dragged himself out of bed.
He dried his hair as he brushed his teeth before being interrupted by the unfamiliar sound of his ringtone. "Who the fuck is calling this early in the morning?" he thought as a look of annoyance washed over his face.
He walked over to his charging phone to take a look. Suddenly, he started choking on the water as he saw the caller ID: Nomura Misaki. "SHIT… I FORGOT" he thought as he picked his phone up.
"H-Hello." "Good morning, Shizuo… I decided to call since you weren't replying to my texts" "IM SO SORRY… I haven't checked my phone since I woke up." "It's fine, there's no reason to apologize… so, are you ready to leave yet?" Misaki asked eagerly.
"Um… isn't it too early to leave?" he asked. "Shizuo… yeah, you're right… I guess I just got too excited," replied Misaki, her disappointment clearly audible. "Soo… have you left yet or…?" he asked, looking for his uniform.
"So… you're not going to believe this… I'm standing in front of your place." "YOU'RE WHERE????" Shizuo walked over to the door rubbing his eyes and contemplating. As he opened the door, he saw Misaki standing by the door.
