ii.ii Old Friends

Warning! This Chapter may contain Manga spoilers.

You hummed a melody while you happily walked outside the CEO's office. Currently, you are at the Schweiden Adlers' headquarters and you just signed a two year contract  to them which makes you the official photographer of the Adlers.

On your to do list today after the contract signing is shopping as your place is still a mess and you need some appliances also. Funny how your computer set up is all set and complete but you don't have fridge to store your food. Although Akaashi offered his place for you to stay in, you highly turned down your fiancé's offer. Errrr , it would be weird right? Like, he'll see me at my worst state every morning.

"[Y/N]?" a deep voice had burst your bubble. Of course you knew who it was, he's like the only guy you knew who has that kind of voice.

You turn around to face him. "Ushijima-kun you really know your timing." you said.

He titled his head, clearly unaware of what you mean by that.

"Oh, it's nothing." You said to assure him as his face is still a bit confused. "What brings you here by the way?" you asked as you two entered the elevator and almost pressed the same button but you let him do that.

"I had something to talk about with the coaching staff."  he simply answered. "And you?"

"Me? Oh, I signed the contract today."  you briefly responded.

"...."

"...."

"...."

And why is this situation so awkward? you asked to yourself when suddenly a huge slump of silence filled the air. Should I speak? What would I tell him though? this is like our second encounter and.....

"[Y/N]-" he started but was immediately cut off by your phone ringing.

Shyly, you gave him a grin. "Sorry, I have to take this." you mumbled and he gave a nod.

"Hello, love?" you answered. It was your fiancé Akaashi who was calling you.

Finally the elevator rang indicating that reached the floor and it opened for the two of you to come out. "Yes, I will have to prepare the papers but it would be quick. Do you think I should at least repair the house? Like repaint it or something before selling it?" you talked to your phone while you walk. Ushijima was behind you, unintentionally listening to the conversation you were having but he didn't mind.

"Okay, okay. Oh, love I'll be heading to the mall can you just fetch me there?"

You giggled. "Of course I miss you, even though I just saw your gorgeous face earlier ha ha!" you bickered in a teasing manner totally forgetting the stoic giant at the back.
