Chifuyu walked to Amaya's room, leaning against the doorframe. A smile appeared on his face, while he watched you and Amaya. Both of you were facing him, but neither of you noticed him, because you were too focused on what you were drawing.
Your were wearing your glasses, and your brows were furrowed as you were concentrating on teaching Amaya a few drawing techniques. You were leaning over her a little as you were drawing on the paper, while Amaya was leaning on her elbows, her face in her hands, watching what you were doing intently.
"Okay, try to do it." you said as you gave her the pencil and you sat back down on the floor.
When you pulled away, you noticed Chifuyu in the doorway, and you jumped a little.
Chifuyu chuckled seeing your reaction, and he walked on the other side of Amaya.
"What are you doing?" he asked as he sat down too.
"We're drawing!" Amaya said excited, as she tried to copy what you were doing earlier.
Chifuyu looked at the paper, and smirked.
"Oh, what a beautiful Christmas tree!"
"THAT'S A LION!" Amaya yelled at Chifuyu, and she hit his shoulder, while he was laughing.
Chifuyu grabbed the paper from the table, stood up and quickly walked around in the room, manuvering from Amaya, as she tried to get it back.
"You sure?" he asked in a teasing voice, as he was examining the drawing. "I mean, the star is already here." he pointed at the lion's head and mane. "If you draw some colorful light bulbs, here, here and here..." he pointed out the areas on the lion. "... it would make a great christmas tree!"
"I'M GONNA DRAW YOU THERE AS HE IS EATING YOU!" Amaya shouted, but she was laughing too.
First you were watching the interaction with a frown on your face, thinking that it was cruel that Chifuyu critized her work, but when you saw that Amaya was laughing at Chifuyu, you realized she must know that he's just joking around with her.
Amaya managed to snatch out the paper from Chifuyu's hand, as he was laughing hard at what she said, and Amaya ran back next to you.
"Can you help me draw Chifuyu there as the lion is eating him?" she asked holding out the pencil for you.
You looked at Chifuyu with an evil smile.
"Sure." you said, and quickly got to work.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Chifuyu protested as he walked to the table quickly.
His eyes sparkled as he watched the small smile which was still on your face, and he sat down across from you two.
"Don't you think that's a little harsh?"
He saw as Amaya grabbed a red pencil, and started drawing blood around the body you were working on.
"Oh my god!" he said and he reached for a paper and pencil too. "This calls for revenge!" he shouted as he ran out of the room to find Takemitchi, while he heard as you two laughed.
"Takemitchi! Takemitchi!" he ran to the kitchen, where his friend, Hina, and Baji still were.
"What happened?" Takemitchi asked with furrowed brows.
Chifuyu put the paper and pencil in front of him.
"Quickly draw Amaya as she runs over Y/N with a bike."
The three of them looked at Chifuyu shocked, and Hina actually let out a gasp.
"You don't understand, Amaya asked Y/N to draw a lion who eats me!"
Takemitchi laughed out loud.
"I'm sure you did something to deserve it!" he said as he grabbed the pencil and started drawing.
Hina looked at her husband wide eyed.
"Wait, you actually gonna draw it?"
Takemitchi looked at Hina and nodded, but what Chifuyu didn't see that he also winked at her.
Hina bit her lip to keep herself from smiling while Baji laughed, shaking his head.
"Thanks bro!" Chifuyu said as he grabbed a plate and cut a slice from the birthday cake and started eating.
When you finished the drawing, Amaya grabbed it and ran out of the room giggling, and you hurried after her.
"Mom! Dad! Look!" Amaya shouted and held out the drawing for her mother.
Hina looked at it, and saw a lion, with a leg in its mouth, as a body was laying in front of it. She laughed when she looked at the face, it wasn't realistic, but it was still easy to tell it was Chifuyu. But instead of eyes, he had two 'x' on their place, and his tongue was sticking out, and a little pool of blood was where he missed his leg from the knee.
She handed the drawing to Baji who almost choked on his cigarette as he saw it. He roared with laughter and Chifuyu quickly snatched it out of his hand, to look at it.
You saw as he pushed his lips together, with a frown, but you saw that the corner of his mouth was curling upwards.
"Done!" Takemitchi yelled and Chifuyu hurried to him, grabbed the paper from the table and held it out for you and Amaya to see.
"Ha!" he exclaimed triumphantly, but his joy quickly turned to confusion when the two of you started to laugh.
He turned the paper in his hands and he saw that Takemitchi did what he asked him, but instead of you, Amaya was running over him. The expression on his face on the drawing was the same as you drew him.
Takemitchi snickered as he saw Chifuyu's reaction and when Hina showed him your drawing, he laughed harder.
"That's the best birthday present, thank you Y/N!" Hina teased.
You smiled at Hina, and walked to Chifuyu, pulling Takemitchi's drawing out of his hands.
"If you don't wanna keep it, I would be more than happy to put it on my fridge." you said as you sat down at the table, looking at it, while the others laughed.
"You're gonna pay for this Takemitchi." Chifuyu said with narrowed eyes.
"Oh, I'm shaking." Takemitchi teased him.
Chifuyu rolled his eyes but chuckled and sat down next to you, and Amaya climbed in his lap.
"Oh, so now you're wanna sit with me?" he asked and Amaya, circling her arms around his neck, making Chifuyu smile. "Okay, I forgive you this time."
You looked at them with an adoring look on your face, but when Chifuyu turned to you, you cleared your throat and quickly averted your gaze.
You looked down at your watch, and your eyes widened a little.
"Oh, I think I should be going." you said as you stood up.
Everyone checked the time too.
"You can sleep here if you want!" Amaya spoke up and you froze for a minute.
"Uhm..." you started, fidgeting with the watch on your wrist, while you were looking at her wide eyed, trying to come up with an excuse.
Hina saw you became nervous and she quickly stood up too, smiling at her daughter.
"Maybe next time, right Y/N?"
She noticed you were very shy, not just when Chifuyu introtuced you, but later during the dinner too. You became less and less nervous as the time went on, but she figured it was hard for you to socialize with others, so she tought you wanted to go home and be alone after spending so much time around new people.
You let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Hina.
"Yeah."
Chifuyu stood up and put Amaya in Takemitchi's lap.
"Okay, I'll be going too."
"Uhm, you can stay if you want, I mean... I just catch the bus."
"What? No, I take you home, I wanna go too." he said as he turned to the others. "I mean, no offense guys, but you're really boring." he added with a yawn, and he streched as they laughed.
"Wow, thanks bro." Takemitchi said as he stood up with Amaya in his arms.
"I'm still not talking to you." Chifuyu said as he stepped to him and kissed Amaya on her forehead, then he gave a hug to Hina and shook hands with Baji.
You all went to the door and Chifuyu grabbed your blazer and held it out for you, so you can put it on.
"Thank you." you said with a shy smile, then you turned around and he slipped it on you.
"No problem, sweetheart." he replied and when your blazer was on you, he smoothed his hands down your shoulders and arms, then turned away and put on his jacket.
You shivered a little when he did that, and you put your hands in your blazer pockets, while you tried to slow down your heart, which started to beat faster at his words and actions.
"It was nice to meet you Y/N." Takemitchi smiled at you as he bounced a little with Amaya in his arms.
"You too, thanks for the dinner." you told them as Chifuyu opened the door for you and you waved to them while you walked out.
Chifuyu opened the car door for you too and despite your head was hanging low, he saw the small smile on your face as you got in.
He bit his lower lip to keep himself from smiling and he quickly walked on the other side of the car, and got in too.
"So, did you have fun?" he asked as he started driving.
"Yeah, it was really nice."
Chifuyu turned to you with a smile, then he saw that you were looking at Takemitchi's drawing in your hand.
"Yeah, really nice, they want me to die." he mumbled under his nose.
You laughed at his grumpy voice and you looked at him, while he was concentrating on the road.
You saw that he had a small smile on his face, and you quickly looked away when he turned to you again.
Chifuyu grinned, you always looked so spooked when he was just only looking in your way. And every time your cheeks flushed when it happened.
He saw that you were fidgeting with the paper in your hands, while you were looking out the window. He cleared his throat and figured it was a good time as any to ask you about the thing he was dying to know.
"So... you're a tattoo artist?"
"Mhm." you nodded.
Chifuyu nodded too and he drummed his fingers on the wheel.
"So... If someone would ask you to do a tattoo for them, would you accept?" he asked and he cleared his throat again.
"Uhm, I don't know..." you shrugged pulling your blazer closer around you. "It was a long time ago since I last made one."
"I'm just asking, cause I really liked that drawing you showed us in the shop, and I was wondering if you could tattoo it on me?"
Your head snapped in his direction and you looked at him with wide eyes.
Chifuyu looked back at you alerted.
"I mean, if you wanna, if not it's cool too." he said, but he was really impressed with your work and he really wanted you to do it.
You looked at the road, and bit your lip. You missed tattooing, and you got really excited when he asked you to make one for him, but on the other hand you could still hear your ex boyfrined's words as he critized your work and said that your customers were only praised them out of pity.
"I don't know, I mean, it's not even finished yet..." you trailed off, with a frown on your face.
Chifuyu studied you for a minute, then he smiled a little.
"It's okay, I mean, I didn't ask you to do it right now." he chuckled.
You looked at him with a brief smile, then on the road again. The rest of the road was spent in a comfortable silence. Well, for Chifuyu it was comfortable, but what freaked you out more than small talk was silence when you were with someone.
You really were weird, weren't you? You hated when someone initiated random small talk with you, but you also hated when they suddenly grow silent. You were sure it was because they thought you were weird and lame.
When you stopped in front of the building, you two started heading inside while you were sure as hell that Chifuyu changed his mind and rather go to a tattoo saloon, then go to you and be in your presence one more time. You quickly stole a glance at him, and saw that he was still wearing a small smile on his face.
You were almost at the door when you heard as a car stopped behind you and a voice yelled.
"Chifuyu! Baby!"
You both turned around and you saw as Nina stepped out of a taxi, and also heard as small groan left Chifuyu's lips.
And maybe it was just you, but it kinda sounded frustrated?
