"niko... i'm so sorry for not telling you that rin is living here in the apartment, did.. did the two of you walked passed each other or.. somehow saw each other? are you okay?"
"we did saw each other but i'm totally fine reo, no need to apologize... the past is the past" niko spoke while trying his best to not let his phone fall that's being sandwiched by his shoulder and head while he's doing something in his laptop
"is that so? well then see you, goodnight"
"mhm, goodnight" when the call ended niko placed his phone in the table, he leaned his back on the chair, he started dozing off while staring at the ceiling
his face didn't change after these past months... he still haven't fixed his frowning face
i wonder what he thought after seeing me..
wait, i'm thinking about him again
niko sighed, he covered his face with his hands and letting out a huff
i'm so pathetic..
there's no way i'm meeting him again
i don't want to hear his annoyingly soothing voice again
your pov:
"eh, what is this?"
you picked up something that's lying on your doorstep, it's inside a little long box
"maybe your stalker's gift?" chigiri spoke and opened the door and the of you went inside, he quickly slumped himself on the sofa
you agreed to have chigiri sleep in your house just this night because it took half an hour before chigiri founds you sitting on a bus stop
he also said he's too tired and lazy to go back home
you sat beside him and observed the box
a gift from a stalker? why would i even have one?
you opened the box, the inside is not what you quite expected
a red tulip, with a note
well that's unique
"hyouma look, looks like the stalker you said knows how to give gifts" you spoke while smirking
"lame" he replied bluntly even he didn't even looked at the flower
you rolled your eyes and opened the note
'i'm not surprised that you still look beautiful after not seeing you in a long time, i missed you'
you blushed a bit after reading the note
whoa this stalker want me fr
"i missed you?" you heard chigiri's voice that's behind you
you turned your head behind just to see the red haired man quirking his left eyebrow, you chuckled and smelled the tulip
smells like the ones on the shop
"i'm gonna treasure this " you smiled
"it's not like this is your first time receiving a flower as a gift" he spoke and stole the flower from you, he smelled it with his eyes closed
"i received one a long time ago?" you spoke and he nodded, still sniffing the flower
"really? who was the one that gave me a flower?" you asked him as you tried to picture the first person who gave you a flower
no answer, still smelling the flower
did the tulip smelled that good?
"hey" you slapped his arm, no answer
