2: Friends day out

The week went by fast, the monotonous routine, whirring time past me. I got to see Nakajima a few more times as well. He came by two more times after I met him the first time, we got to exchange numbers, and get to know eachother.
We even got to hangout after work one of those days, going to a park and talking more. He told me more about the others at the ADA, their names and what they were like. He insisted I call him by his first name instead, so I respected that. It was heartbreaking to hear about his life at the orphanage. Who in their right mind would do that?! I'm glad he's doing good for himself now though.

It was nice when I realized that I would get some time off. Time that could be spent exploring the town. I wasn't able to look around too much before I started working.

'I guess I should do some quick cleaning and tidying up before I start with all the fun.'

I thought about all of the things that could use a little bit of love around the house, while I made myself a small breakfast consisting of eggs and toast.
I lived in a small apartment, with only the essential rooms for two people. I had been taught at a young age that I should always have enough room for a guest. It wasn't a big apartment, but it was a comfortable one. Kunikida contributed to that as well, more than he realizes.

I decided to get started on the living room, picking up any clothes I had laying around and giving it a quick dust and vacuuming the couch for extra debris I missed during my nightly cleaning routine. That was another habit of mine, that I learned when I was still living with my parents. To clean up nightly, even if nothing seemed dirty.
Once I was satisfied, I moved onto the kitchen and dining area, it was a relatively small space, so it didn't take long.

Then I did a quick sweep of the guest room. And finally I just had to do my own room which was a mess to say the least. I would mess it up every morning, leaving clothes all over the room and hygienic items hastily thrown on any surface I could find when I rushed before work.

'I guess that's another habit of mine. Though I guess not all habits are good ones.'

I finished cleaning the apartment in under two hours. Which wasn't bad.

'Alright now that that's done, I can do some fun stuff.'

I went over to my nightstand, grabbing my phone to check the weather to dress appropriately. I checked the weather and it said it would be a fair temperature, with a breeze. I went outside to check, and sure enough the weather felt nice, warm with a gentle breeze.
I chose a simple combination of sheer leggings, mid-thigh length shorts and knee high socks with a simple graphic tee that showed one shoulder more than the other, followed by basic black Converse.
I thought I looked cute, looking at myself in the full length mirror. Just like one of those cute sporty girls in the adventure games. My shorts had pockets big enough to hold any essentials of mine that I would bring, so I didn't need to grab a bag or purse.
I headed on outside, ready to reminisce about what was still here from what I remember and admire what was new.

I walked, and let my eyes wonder, with no destination in particular. There were sooooo many shops!! Some sold basic clothes, others kept up to trends.
As I continued walking I saw a place I distinctly remember, a place I used to go all the time. It was a cafe that had an arcade and candy store!! I sped up my walking, getting closer, and finally walking in. Though, when I was standing at the front of it, I saw there were couples and groups of friends enjoying the entertainment together.
And I was by myself. Standing out much more than I was comfortable with.

'It's not the same without someone to enjoy it with though... I wonder what Kunikida's doing.'

Just as I went on my phone and was about to dial Kunikida then I got a call, and saw it was from Dazai. I had previously added to my contacts and texted with the same day I got his number. I answered, a little uneasy that he would be calling me after I only saw him once.
