Strangers (Killerxreader)

9

You kept Wisp entertained with a string toy, your fuzzy black cat zipping after it. Your cat was a bit of an escape artist, somehow ending up in one of your neighbors apartments despite you double checking that your windows and door were locked. You swear there was a secret passage way that you didn't know about somewhere in your apartment.

There was a new person moving into the empty apartment next to yours. You didn't need Wisp escaping and ending up in their apartment while they were bringing in boxes and furniture. So for the past hour you've been playing with your cat, hoping you were entertaining her enough so she wouldn't randomly dissappear. It was a little difficult to do as you were also baking cookies to give to your new neighbor. It was something you did for all new neighbors that moved in, well at least the ones you knew about.

Your oven went beep and you went to go check on your cookies, you peeked over your shoulder to make sure your cat was still playing with the toys you left out for her. Satisfied that she was tossing around a mouse toy you continued on to the kitchen.

You took the cookies out of the oven and left them to cool down, you grabbed your phone and headed back into the living room. Wisp was still happily playing with her toys, you were hoping she'd tire out soon so you could give the new neighbors the cookies you made. You didn't need her escaping while you were out.

Going through your phone you found you had a few text messages from your boyfriend. He had sent them an hour ago and you were only now seeing them.

Niji💙: Babe my flight gets back in around 11:30p.m. today. I know you have work tonight but come to my place after your shift.

You glanced at your work schedule, you worked at Shakky's bar, sometimes you worked as a server and other times you were the bartender. Today you worked as bartender so you'd be working right up until the bar closed which was at 2a.m. You let Niji know how long you'd be working, he said it was fine and that you should still come over. You told him you would be over later then went back to your kitchen to place the cookies into a container.

You tossed a few mouse toys for Wisp and slipped out your door while she was distracted. Your new neighbor was moving into the apartment to the right of yours. The door was open and you could see boxes piled high as you peaked through the doorway. You couldn't see anyone shuffling about in the apartment, so you decided to knock on the open door just in case your new neighbor was further inside.

You knocked on the door and waited, when no one answered you knocked once again.

"Yes, can I help you?" A deep voice spoke up behind you, it spooked you a bit but the person sounded more curious then angry.

"Oh hi, I'm (Y/N) your neighbor. I was just coming by to give you some cookies and wel-" Your voice caught in your throat as you turned around to face your neighbor.

"(Y/N)?"

"Killer?"

Am I seeing things?

You glanced over the tall male that stood in front of you, he was definitely buffer and had a goatee but you could recognize that long blond hair anywhere. It had been four years since you last saw him, but he was still recognizable.

"(Y/N) uhm I-" From the look of it Killer was shocked to see you as well.

Hearing him talk, seeing him stand in front of you after all these years you thought you'd be able to handle ever seeing him again. But you couldn't, all the blood rushed to your ears and a sinking feeling settled into your stomach. You shoved the container of cookies into Killer's arms not bothering to wait and hear what he had to say. You hot footed it back to your apartment, slamming the door behind you. You definitely scared Wisp with your entrance, your black cat scurrying under your couch.

"I'm sorry Wisp I didn't mean to scare you." You cooed as you crouched on front of your couch. Your cat came out at the tone of your soft voice, she rubbed her head against your palm and let out loud purrs. Feeling your cats soft fut against your skin helped calm you down.

"I don't know why seeing him bothered me so much Wisp. It's been four years I don't care about that ass anymore, plus I have a boyfriend." You ranted to your cat, she didn't care though she was just happy to receive pets and cuddles. You were happy with Niji, but seeing Killer rubbed you the wrong way for some reason.

"What forget this." You scooped Wisp into your arms, standing up you walked into your room ready to change into your work clothes and head out.
