Frost and Ice

1. Fresh Start

Y/N POV

Saturday Afternoon

"Whew," I wipe a tear of sweat from my forehead, these boxes were heavy to carry upstairs to my apartment.

I finally moved to Konoha after waiting 5 months for all the paperwork and the lease ready. They offered me a job at the psych ward here in Konoha as a psychologist. I used to work back in Kiri at their ward, but I needed to get away, have a fresh start, and this job offer was my key to do so.

I sit in the middle of my future living room, surrounded by lots of boxes to unpack. This is probably my not so favorite part of moving. I take deep breaths to recover my strength.

Let's do this.

I get up and start with the box nearest from me, opening the box I found what I was trying to get away from, memories washing over me.

I felt my heart get heavy, I immediately closed the box and put it aside in the corner of the room. I'm going to face that later but not right now, I have to settle in fast. I start work on Monday.

As I continued to unpack my mind couldn't help but think about him.

*flashback to 1 year ago*

Sitting next to his tombstone. "Why?" I began to sob. I didn't know why this had to happen, the person I loved lost gone, ripped out of my hands. I wish he could tell him, I was sorry for what I said. I regretted everything.

I face his tombstone.

"In Loving Memory of Momochi Zabuza"

I can't change the past, whats done is done. I have my regrets but I have to keep going, it's what he would've wanted. We loved each other so much it was unbearable.

I shake my head and grab my phone to put on some music to let my mind relax a bit.
I pressed play on my playlist and the first song that comes up didn't help much.

(Song: Chamber of Reflection by Mac DeMarco)

It made me even sadder. "Stop this y/n you overcame this already. Your stronger than this come on." I tell myself repeatedly.

My brain wants to take me back to my 4th stage of grief. I won't let it, I had already accepted his death and there's nothing I can do but keep living and having him in a piece of my heart.

I quickly put the designated boxes in each room and took all the belongings out.

After 3 hours of unpacking and organizing, I
was semi done. I only needed to start setting up the table, bed and furniture wise which would take hours.

I decided to take a break and maybe get a breather, "I want a bite to eat as well", reaching the phone from my pocket, opening maps and searching for nearest diners.
"Found one only 10 minutes away," mumbling to myself.

I quickly grabbed my keys from the counter and hopped into my car, starting the engine. Quickly rolling down the windows to let all the heat out because this weather was no joke. After turning on the a/c, I starting driving to the diner.

Arriving I checked the menu on their website before going in so I had an idea what I could order. Stepping into the restaurant I found the nearest booth waiting for my service.

After a few minutes, "Hello Welcome to Kinatro what would you like to order."

It was a tall slim woman, very beautiful, green eyes, black hair and tanned skin.

"Yes I would like can I get Chicken Karaage with a side of Spicy Endamame."

"Your order will be out in a few," she smiled.

"Thank you," I smiled back and turned away looking out the window. Looking at my watch it was 6:13pm. Meanwhile, planning all the things I have to do when I get back home in my head. I saw a group of me walk in with suits.

I couldn't help but feel curious what they looked like. Moving the the edge of the booth I quickly made contact towards them, trying to catch a peek without getting caught.

My mind exploded it was 3 handsome men.

One had a black suit, red tie, black slacks with fancy dress shoes with red bottoms. He had long black hair into a ponytail, from what I could tell he had two lines on his face under his eyes. Most likely stress created in his environment as a child that he had carried throughout the years.

The other was dressed in an all blue suit with a black tie, and had a scar on the left side of his face. Black short spiky hair, very tall and very sexy, I wasn't going to lie to myself.

Finally, this man has caught my attention the most. He had silver hair and a scar going vertically down his right eye, very appealing, he had a mask on sadly so I couldn't see the bottom half of his face, but from what I could tell he was very fine. He was wearing an all grey suit with a black dress shirt underneath. Wearing dark grey dress shoes as well.

Honestly, how could they wear those suits in this damn hot weather. While I was too focused thinking on all these things at once, the silver haired man caught me looking at them.

'Damn it', I said to myself in my head, I quickly grabbed my phone and started scrolling through it to avoid what had just happened.

The waitress came with my food and I thanked her, as she left the raven haired man came foward towards me. He stood right in front of me, what would I say? What would I do? I just got caught staring like a a teenager having a crush in school.
This was embarrassing.
What would he say?

He then rest his shoulder on the side of the booth, eye contact on point.

"New to town darling?"
