The Boy Next Door (Urushihara X Reader)

Chapter 8: Stalker News

~~~~~* Your POV *~~~~~

W-What is this... it's so warm. I shift slightly, then pull closer to the object. I hear a slight groan. I slowly begin adjusting my eyes to the dim lighting in my small apartment. All I can see is a mess of purple hair.

I had forgotten that Urushihara slept over. I attempt sitting up and fail. I lie for a minute with my head on his chest, listening to his heart beat and rhythmic breathing. His body shifts slightly and I jump at the unexpected touch on the back of my head.

"Oh... Y- you're awake! I-i'm sorry I d-didn't mean to wake you up!" I say quickly as I turn to his smirking sleepy face. He sighs without a word then begins rubbing my head.

"I'm glad you finally got some sleep." He sighs in a monotone voice. I give him a confused look before slowly sitting up. He shifts in his spot on the bed before replying, "You woke up quite a few times from a nightmare, every time you did you would cling to me and not let go until you fell back asleep." I stare into nothing-ness as I can remember only one dream. "What was it exactly that you were dreaming?" his face is colored with concern.

"I can't remember, I'm sorry." I lie on the first part and hold my head down. "Did you at least get some sleep?" I ask feeling foolish for my unconscious actions. He chuckles slightly then waves my question away.

"Don't worry about me." He says, before slowly rising from his spot on the bed. I watch as his feet touch the ground and he immediately walks over to the small counter. "What're we havin' for breakfast?" He asks as he examines the fridge. I think for a moment then join him in front of the open door.

"Some pancakes, eggs and coffee maybe?" I offer he nods. "I will start the coffee if you will mix up a small amount of pancake batter." I state before turning to the coffee machine.

After breakfast Urushihara and I make plans to go to a small diner for supper. Considering that neither of us wanted to dress flashy or spend too much money, it was a good compromise.

~~~~~* 2nd Person POV *~~~~~

You quickly finish your breakfast and walk with Urushihara to his room, then you walk down stairs to see if Misty is still home.

On the way down the steps you feel like someone is watching you. You stop at the end of the steps and look around cautiously before continuing towards Misty's room. You knock twice before calling to her, "Yo Mist, you home?" You stand patiently at the door as a small breeze tugs at your legs. You turn and look around to see small, colorful autumn leaves rustle along the sidewalk. You turn abruptly when you hear the click of the door being unlocked.

"I'm glad you woke me up I'm almost late for work." Misty sighs as she steps through the door frame. "Here, I finally had that extra key made." She hands you a spare key to her apartment. You fallow as she walks away from the complex.

"I didn't know you had to work today." You groan, "I was really hoping we could hang out today, you know like go to the book store." She nods. You walk in awkward silence for a bit, admiring the beautiful trees you would pass here and there. The golden, blood red, and crisp light brown leaves rustling and detaching from the limbs.

"I need to tell you something extremely important, but it will take some time to explain which we don't have at the moment." She says sternly, keeping her eyes in front of herself and nodding towards the building only about a block in front of you. You nod even though you are a little confused by her sternness.

"O-okay, lunch then?" You ask quietly, she nods as the two of you slowly approach the front entrance of the Doko Demo Costumer Service building.

"Something inexpensive, I am kinda tight on money." She adds. You take a moment to think before it hits you.
