We Are Just Friends

Ch. 8 - Nothing like movies with friends

~Shinomiya POV~

Breakfast was peaceful, but in a few hours we would head to the store before going to Nishina's place. "Shino, you should go get dressed so we can go to the store," Mu said as he sat next to me. "Don't you need to get dressed too?" He nodded as he ate, "Yeah, but you've finished your breakfast." I shrugged and got up to put my bowl in the sink, afterwards heading to the bedroom to get dressed. 

I just shrugged into a grey hoodie and put some jeans on before I went to see if Mu was done eating. When I got into the kitchen he was gone but I'd heard the shower running so I just assumed he went to shower. I decided to go to the store while he was in the shower so I left a note telling him where I'd gone. I walked about a half mile to the corner store and grabbed a few boxes of cookies and a few bags of different chips. 

While I walked back home I felt someone watch me, but every time I looked back and around me there was no one suspicious. I started to get an uneasy feeling so I decided to just walk faster and try to get home as fast as I could. I got home after about 5 minutes and rushed inside, that feeling never went away and it still plagued me.  When I walked in the door Mu was sitting on the couch, his hair still damp from his shower, watching tv. "How was your trip to the store?" he asked, with a smile. "It was fine until I was on the way home, I couldn't shake the feeling of someone watching and following me," I said after I put the snacks in the kitchen and sat next to him. He put his arm around me in an attempt to comfort me, "I'm sorry, Shinomiya." His expression was solemn and worried. 

I hated to see him like this, his mother was still missing, and we hadn't heard anything so of course he was worried about that and now people started to follow me. I could tell he blamed himself for all of it and it simply broke my heart to see him so unhappy.

Mu and I got to Nishina's a little late because we'd gotten distracted by a stray cat. When we arrived at her house Nana opened the door for us, he sighed when he saw us because he thought we were the pizza delivery guy. Mu and I walked in and saw that Nishina had added some mattresses to her couch to make it longer and more comfortable to lay on. Serinuma was already on the couch, but she was on her phone and not paying attention so I jumped on her. 

When she realized what happened we both burst out with laughter. I rolled onto my back next to her and Mu came and sat next to me after he set the snacks on the counter. The room where we watched the movies was a man cave type thing, it had the sofa, giant tv, bar / kitchen area, and two bathrooms. We didn't have to leave the room which was great. Since Nishina's parents weren't home and she'd given the house staff the weekend off we decided to all just stay the weekend. Once everyone got the snacks and drinks they wanted everyone sat down and we put on the first movie.
