Y/N - "Hello? Who is it?"

??? - "Hello Rabbit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I gasp, taking a step back. It's the guy! How did he find me? How does he knows what apartment to buzz?! I push the speaker button again, "Hey listen, I'm really sorry about bumping into you earlier. What are you doing here??" I ask a bit wary. "You intrigued me, and it's only fitting that you happen to live next to my.... friend Vinny." I notice the pause in his speech. However, I can't help but be curious. "Okay I'll buzz you in, but you have to leave if I ask you. Okay?" I ask, still wary. "Reasonable, I like that." I can almost hear the smirk in his voice as I buzz him in. I realized that I never finished cleaning so I hastily clean as much as I can before I hear a knock on my door. A slight blush rises to my face. "Oh my god, I'm going to have a guy in here!!!" I start shoving the last of my crap in the hall closet as I call out "One sec! I'll be right there!!"
I manage to cram the closet full and close the door. I straiten myself out and walk to the front door. After a deep breath I open the door, to find the man standing there glancing over to my neighbors door. "Come in... uh...." I'm blanking. I never got his name. "Names Habit. And you must be Y/N." He smirks as he walks in, glancing around my small apartment. I blush as I notice the dishes in the sink. "Sorry, it's a little messy..." I trail off. "No it's okay. I'm used to much worse!" Habit says this oddly chipper...
after a moment of awkward silence, I jump to my senses. "Oh! Would you like a drink or something to eat??" Habit looks at me from under his hat, making me blush slightly. "Have you got something stronger than water? And maybe some Reces cups??" I was going to save the bottle of whiskey I got, but I also want to impress him, maybe get lucky for once. I walk back to my kitchenette, but I can't remember where I put the bottle. I bend down to look in some cupboards, when I feel a presence behind me. Blushing, I bend my knees and get my ass out of the air and glance back. Habit is standing there of course. "Need some help there?" He asks, wearing his typical smirk. "U-uH no I think I got it..." I say, trying not to let my bright red face be seen. I finally see the bottle in the back of the cupboard and fish it out. I also grab my last seasons Halloween candy for Habit to pick through. I pour two shots of whiskey, one a little heavier than the other. I hand Habit the lighter one, and gulp down my good dose quickly. I see Habit down his just as fast and then rummage through the candy.
"S-soooo... what are you doing here? How did you find where I lived??" I ask, nervous about the answer.  In a rather calm tone, Habit simply answers "I followed you, and the moment I saw you I knew you would be important in what I'm working on." He finds a few reces in the bottom of the bowl, and grabs them all. He goes over to my couch and plops down. Opening the candy as he does so. I gulp and pour two more shots. "So what are you working on?" I ask, hoping for a non weird answer for once. "A big, special project. Not one the likes of you need to know about yet." Habit says, taking the shot I offer him. He gulps it down quickly again, then turns to look at me. "So. Y/N. What do you do?" I'm confused by his question. "Like... for work?? I'm a bar tender..." I answer. Hs chuckles and asks, "No, like for fun. What do you do to get your heart pumpin? What makes you feel... sassy?" I almost laugh at him for a second, I would have never guessed a guy like him would use the word sassy. "Well, that's a good question. I don't do much. I don't have many friends, and my family is... not important. So mostly I work, then come home and find a way to kill the boredom, like my walk earlier." I down my shot after my answer to avoid the look of pity I know will be on his face. But I hear a chuckle instead. He then says something rather unsettling,

"Perfect. No one to really miss you much."
