Roommates

Chapter 5

"This is my room, and your's is right across from mine. The bathroom is at the end of the hall there." You said finishing the grand tour of your small apartment.

"Thanks." Sasuka said adjusting his mask.

"Do you wanna set some ground rules or boundaries? Cause I don't have many." You stood in his doorway while he began opening up boxes.

"Not really. Only thing is personal space. You have yours and I'll stay in mine." Sasuka said as he started wiping down the nightstand and dressers.

"I already did that for you, so you don't have to worry about it." You said and he paused.

"You already did what?" He stood straight up and looked at you.

"I disinfected everything this morning before I left." You said awkwardly. "I wanted to make you feel welcome."

Sasuka looked around the room for a moment and nodded his head. "Thank you. You didn't have to do that." He avoided looking at you.

"It's no problem. I'll just give you your personal space." You said backing away slowly. You turned and went into your room, closing the door behind you. You could hear him moving around in his room, sliding boxes around and opening and closing drawers.

It was getting late, so you decided to take a shower. You grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom.

You turned on the shower and undressed, only getting in when the temperature was just right. You stepped in and let the hot water run down your skin.

Today felt longer than expected and I'm beat. I wonder how Sakusa is adjusting to his room. I should hurry up just in case he wants to shower.

You turned the shower off and stepped out wrapping your towel around you. You realized that you forgot to grab clothes.

I'll just get dressed in my room. Sakura should still be in his room and I can just move fast and get to my room.

You opened the door slightly and shivered at the rush of cold air. Seeing the empty hallway you opened the door all the way and started toward your room. And right as you touched your doorknob, you heard another door open.

You froze in place and turned slowly, hoping that you were just imagining it. Sakusa stood in his doorway wide eyed staring at you.

Crap!

"I'm so sorry! I forgot to grab clothes and I thought you'd still be in your room when I came out! This will never happen again I swear!" You panicked and spouted many apologies.

Sakusa realized he was staring and turned his head. He cleared his throat and adjusted his mask once more. "It's okay. I'll just go take a shower now."

He rushed down the hall and into the bathroom, slamming the door shut. You quickly entered your room, closing and locking the door behind you.

"Why did I stand there for that long?!" You cursed yourself quietly now that you were alone. "His first night here and you're already making him uncomfortable. Get it together, Y/n." You said to yourself while getting dressed.

***

You'd gotten hungry and decided to order some food.

Hours passed and you were still embarrassed from the towel incident. Sakusa was in his room and you were sitting at the table in the kitchen flipping through a menu.

I should probably ask if he wants something. But I don't wanna talk to him yet. He probably thinks I'm a creep who's trying to seduce him or something.

You flipped through the menu a couple times and finally got the courage to get up and ask.

You reached his door and before you could knock Sasuka opened the door.
