Afterdark (Aoi x Male Reader)

Her Reasons

He trembled a little while trying to lit his cigarette. Damned nerves, they were really getting the bad side of him. Only one message from her was enough to put you on that state.

"(YN-san) are you ordering something?" Tanjiro tilted his head with a cute smile, this earned more than one Kya's from the female customers in the cafe.

"No... yes, two coffees, that special blend one."

"Coming right up!"

He went back inside with his mood atop. Such a cinnamon roll boy.

Now. The main topic on this visit was nothing more than a parley with the person behind the message from yesterday. A headache was coming and he was all but braced for it.

Aoi stayed back at the apartment, playing her game and eating snacks. She's becoming a NEET. He decided that she needs to come back to work, at least she can do that it's not healthy to stay inside doing nothing.

(Author note: I CAN, the freaking government decided to put another lock down for the rest of the year, so GG. I'll stay inside doing nothing.)

"Did you wait for long?"

The voice cane from a young woman. Her pale skin was only one of her charming features. Not to mention her raven dark hair that vanished into an eye-catching amethyst color, this made her rose-red lips stood out more. She wore a dark purple coat overall her winter clothes.

Kocho Shinobu took the seat in front of him, with her trademark soft smile and those intimidating eyes.

"Hello, (YN-san)."

"Kocho-san." He answered while smashing the smoke against the ashtray.

Both of them exchanged a gazes worth than a thousand words. Yeah, they were in the same wavelength, the main topic was clear like water, there won't be any need for friendly behavior nor any going around and around. She's here to discuss about Aoi. But, she won't be the only one doing questions.

"And here's the coffee! Nezuko sends some sweet bread to accompany the drink, enjoy it!"

The oldest of the Kamado siblings came with a couple of steaming cups of the best coffee in the house. Little he know that those two were ready to threw themselves at each other's throats. He just gave his best grin and then left to take other orders around the cafe.

Before the negotiations begin, both of them took a piece of the food and delighted your tongues with the breathtaking taste of it.

"My, my. This is splendid!" The Butterfly clapped her hands together out of happiness, that speaks highly of the deliciousness of the food.

"UMAI!" He imitated a certain sunny boy.

The two of them ate in silence, exquisite food always lift a bad mood.

"How are things going in the department? Tomioka-San told me about your new job."

"Ah, things are going smooth. I am paired with Mitsuri-san, that really drains my energy."

"Fuuu, I get that, she's always perky and full of energy, but I have to giver her credit for all the delicious stuff she buys." Shinobu seconds.

"Yeah, at this rate I'm going to get fat."

Both of them laughed, like they were old friends chatting about past days and old memories. For some time they pretend to forget about the reason they came for. But this was just a chance to find the opening to stab the first dagger.

"And living alone is hard?" The girls launched the first jab.

"Oh, I'm doing my best."

"Cooking should be a problem." Now a hook from the girl.
