"thank you both so much for looking after the twins - and for the treats. you sure you don't want me to pay you back?" miss rizin sighed contentedly.
you managed to stop her before she could even start rummaging her bag to find some loose money.
"oh no no - miss rizin, it's fine, really. it's on us." you placed your hands on top of hers as a way of reassurance.
she sighed, giving you a closed eye smile. with all the work she's been doing lately, you and sakusa have truly done a lot for her part.
"you better rest miss rizin. it's getting quite late. you deserve it." sakusa gave a thin smile after checking the time on his phone.
"that's our cue to leave as well then. have a nice rest, miss rizin. now you two, don't burden your mother too much. and congrats for your hard work today." you bid your goodbyes.
you were now walking to sakusa's place, since you insisted on 'walking him home'.
"my house is literally next to the rizin's." he said in a rather cocky voice.
"don't care." you replied, standing on the porch stairs. the sun was setting fast, the orange hues were about to turn dark. the moment of silence lasted seconds.
"i should get going now." you awkwardly smiled while your foot kept on tapping the floor. it's something you unconsciously do when you're nervous.
you suddenly felt a pair of hands pushing back the hair covering your forehead, and alas a pair of lips on it as well.
"good night hirami." sakusa hastily went into his house, locking it up and plopping himself on the couch, screaming into the living room cushion.
you stood there for a while to process what just happened before placing your hand gently on the surface of your forehead, where he kissed you good night.
your ears burned up, and a grin bloomed on your face. you turned your heel and went to the your room. you got butterflies, and you felt stupid for feeling this way.
as you were about to unlock the door, you caught a glimpse of yet another sticky note on your door, right under the peephole. you quickly tore off the note.

you gasped a literal audible gasp, which you thought only happened in kdramas. you ran back to the front of his house, ready to knock on the door and reciprocate the confession.
though it was a tiring day, which made you quite reluctant on talking about it with him tonight. and so, you went back to your house and prepped a warm drink.
you sipped the drink slowly, admiring the post it note in your hand. this time, you didn't put the note in your cat pouch. instead, you stuck it on the fridge with a magnet.
it was just so you could get a serotonin boost everytime you open the fridge.
