Close to You || Chifuyu Matsuno

You all walked out of Ian's apartment and when he and Chifuyu started walking towards Chifuyu's door, you quickly went to yours.

"I just grab my tools." you mumbled as you walked in your flat.

Chifuyu watched as you disappeared in your apartment, then he pulled out his keys and opened his door.

"She's always like that, you'll get used to it." Ian said as he followed Chifuyu inside.

"She doesn't like meeting new people, does she?" Chifuyu asked as he gestured for Ian to sit down at one of the chairs in the kitchen.

"She doesn't like being around people in general." the older man said with a smile making Chifuyu laugh.

You went in the kitchen and pulled out a few tools from a drawer. You looked around, searching for your reading glasses. You put them in your pocket and went out of the door. When you looked at Chifuyu's door, you saw that it was slightly open. You went to it and stopped.

'Should I knock?' you asked in your head as you scraped your neck a little. 'God, why am I this awkward?!' you thought angrily and decided to just go inside, he surely left it open for you.

You closed it behind you and slowly walked towards the kitchen. You saw both of the men, Ian sitting at the counter, and Chifuyu is standing on the other side of it, both of them laughing.

When Chifuyu noticed you, he gave you a friendly smile.

"Do you want something to drink?"

Your eyes widened a little, but you shrugged your shoulders, and you looked at the microwave, which was in front of him.

"No, thanks."

Chifuyu followed your gaze, and when he saw what you were looking at, he explained the problem.

"So, I bought it a few days ago, and when I wanted to use it for the first time, I noticed that the light is not working, when I turn it on."

"If it's just a few days old, then why don't you just return it?" you asked with a frown.

Chifuyu looked at you with a sheepish smile as he scratched the back of his neck.

"I lost the bill."

You looked up at him, and you felt as one corner of your mouth turned a little upwards when you saw the expression on his face. Chifuyu's eyes sparkled when he saw that and he smirked. You looked down at the microwave quickly and walked to it.

"So, it's still heating the food?" you asked as you grabbed the cable and held it up for him.

"Yeah." Chifuyu answered as he plugged it in.

When he was done you turned it on, and heard that it was working but the light didn't turn on. You switched it off and nodded at the plug and Chifuyu pulled the cable out.

You turned the microwave on it's back, opened the door and you put on your glasses, then you started twisting the screws in the plastic which covered the light. Chifuyu watched as you worked, your brows were furrowed in contrentation and he smiled at you. When he saw the glasses on your face, he thought you looked adorable.

Then he noticed an old watch on your wrist. It had black straps, which were a little shabby and the clockface was white with thin black numbers on it. He noticed that the glass was broken too, with a big tear at the middle, which reached from one side to the other.

He saw as your hand twisted the screwdriver quickly, and he leaned a little closer to you to see what you were doing.

You only had one more screw to pull out, but then it seemed like your attention was disturbed, because the screwdriver slipped from the screw and a frustrated sigh left your lips.
