Finding Home || Kazutora Hanemiya

Chapter 4

After Kazutora said that he will help you, you smiled at him, then turned around, put the manual on the dining table and went to one of your boxes.

"Okay, I'm just gonna feed the dogs first."

You fished out Ryo's old bowl which was too small for him now and put it next to his new one. You poured dry dog food in both of them. Ryo and Cassie jumped up from their bed and went to the bowls, while you made your way to the fridge. You grabbed the milk and poured some on Cassie's food, to make it mellow and easier for her to chew.

Kazutora watched Cassie as she was eating happily, with a smile on his face.

"Thank you. It was yesterday when she last ate."

You gave him a worried look.

"And when was the last time you ate?"

Kazutora's smile disappeared from his face and he looked down at his feet. You gave yourself and imaginary facepalm, for not offering him anything to eat when he first stepped his foot into your apartment. You were the worst host ever. You went back to the fridge and put the milk back into it, then looked the fridge over.

"Okay, I don't have anything to eat, but we can order something."

"What? No. I didn't come here to ask for fo..."

"Kazutora." you cut him off sharply. "You didn't ask for food, I AM offering you food, and I'm ordering the biggest pizza available, and if you don't eat it, I'm gonna punch you in the face with it." you said as you already grabbed your phone and started dialing.

You said it so heatedly, that Kazutora actually believed that you will throw it in his face if he disobeyed. He hid a smile, he liked how fierce you were.

He went to the dining table while you talked on the phone and grabbed the manual and looked it over. Then a smile actually broke out on his face. It was a four-door wardrobe and Kazutora was glad that you had a lot of clothes, because the bigger the wardrobe the more time it takes to put it together, and he can spent that time together with you.

He went back to the box, and sat down on the floor in front of it. He opened the packages which contained the screws and started counting them, to make sure there aren't any missing ones.

You put down your phone and went to the opposite side of the box and pulled out the parts and looked them over to make sure they are not damaged.

"All good?" Kazutora asked as he finished counting.

"Yep." you said with a sigh.

"You don't seem too enthusiastic." Kazutora said as he looked up at you from the floor with teasing eyes.

"I'm gonna be enthusiastic when it's gonna be in my room, with my clothes in it." you grumbled, then you turned your eyes to look at him and saw the expression on his face. "I'm starting to think that you like seeing me suffer."

Kazutora didn't say anything just gave you a big grin.

"Ugh, I managed to find the biggest asshole in town. Just my luck." you joked.

Kazutora laughed out loud.

"You can still ask one of your neighbours to help." he suggested as he stood up and started walking towards the door.

"No!" you complained and grabbed one of his hands with both of yours.

Kazutora turned his head around quickly and his eyes snapped down at your hands, shocked. Did you just really touch him?

When you saw his expression, you let go of him, then held your hands in front of you in defense.

"Sorry. I, uh... sorry." you apologized with a nervous smile.
