An Empty Apartment ~ Writing Practice 🍓 (OCS)

Sleepier Than Usual

⚠️Vomiting.⚠️

--------------------------------------------------

Kiyoko stood up from the couch, but almost immediately wanted to sit back down when he felt something in his stomach twist. It felt wrong, and gross.. but he knew what it meant. His body was warning him for a now inevitable act.

He ran to the kitchen, frantically looking around without quite knowing what for. He ended up quickly opening the cabinets and taking out a glass cup, but before he could do anything else he was leaning over the sink gagging.

He retched and vomited, letting out a cough afterwards. He felt disgusting. Turning on the sink slowly, he'd then fill up his cup and start to lift it to his mouth before he got that feeling again. He set the cup down on the counter and proceeded to vomit again, his throat now sore from coughing.

He washed out his sink, and took a drink of water finally. He slumped against the counter, now sitting on the floor. He opened one of the cabinets next to him, and took out a couple paper towels to clean off his face quickly. Standing up shakily, then throwing the used paper towels away, he'd let out a sigh and try to think back to what just happened.

He hadn't felt sick at all before that nap, so why was he suddenly feeling so gross?

He was interrupted by a knock on the door, to which his head perked up in alarm. Standing there for a few seconds, he eventually walked over to his front door and opened it.

"Ah! Hello, I'm your next door neighbor and.. I just wanted to check in. I heard a loud bang earlier from your apartment and I was feeling quite worried."

A girl answered the door, she looked to be about the same age as him.

"Oh.. I just dropped a heavy bag earlier, I went shopping and was having trouble carrying it. I accidentally dropped it and.. I didn't realize how loud of a noise it made. I'm so sorry."

Kiyoko lied, the real cause of the noise was when he got up from the couch and knocked over his side table. He didn't want to worry the girl however, so he fabricated a story on the spot.

"Ah, alright then.." She paused, looking past him a bit. She was clearly suspicious.

"Well.. if ever need any help I'm just a door away, my name is Tsuya by the way. Please don't hesitate to come to me." She then smiled, waved and went back to her apartment.

Kiyoko sighed closing his front door, and sliding down onto the floor to sit. He looked around his apartment, having a sudden urge to start crying he felt that maybe it was time to relax for real..

Time skip -- Next Day 8:34 AM --

( Thursday )

--------------------------------------------------

Kiyoko had woken up about 10 minutes before his alarm, which was set to 7:20 AM. He was eating rice, and watching TV. Usually he would eat, then get ready for work, but he had woken up early so he was relaxing a bit before work instead.

Once he had finished his rice, he went to the kitchen and cleaned out his bowl then put it back into the cupboard.

Kiyoko yawned, he was already ready for work so he considered just going in early.

"Maybe I should stop by the café on my way.. and get Kameko something too?" He muttered this too himself, although he wasn't completely sure.

"Ah.. coffee..." Mumbling once again, he'd look around for no reason.
