You jolted awake to the sound of banging on your door. You threw the blanket off of yourself and dragged your legs to the edge, getting off the bed and walking out of your bedroom to the front door. You didn't bother to brush your teeth or at least look a bit more presentable because it was early and you wanted to go back to sleep after dealing with whatever is at the door. 

A paper clasped onto a clipboard was shoved into your face once you opened the door. "Sign here," A small man on the other side of the clipboard practically demanded without any context, holding up a pen in his free hand. You pushed the clipboard away, "Why?" You asked, your voice was raspy and deep from sleep and drowsiness. "You asked for renovations just a few days ago." The man answered, holding the clipboard back in front of you.

"What?"

"Someone called our office and said you wanted a renovation for your apartment. An extra bathroom and bedroom was what the person asked for." You just looked at the man dumbfounded before Kouyou came by, walking up the steps to your apartment and signing the paper for you. You glared at her, your eyes demanding and explanation. However, she just dragged you inside to help your pack what you needed, since you couldn't stay there unless the renovations were finished.

"Y/n dear, do you not remember that time I suggested you get a guest room and bathroom for when someone stays over, the last time I visited here?" Kouyou questioned, setting your luggage on your bed. The memory came back to you, causing you to instinctively made an 'o' shape with your mouth in realization. "You said you would get a renovation, but that never happened, so I did it for you. Go get ready, we have to leave soon." You nodded, quickly walking towards the bathroom after picking out an outfit.

You twisted the knob on the shower wall, running the warm water. As the water began to rain down onto the floor of the shower, you began undressing before stepping into the shower with your bare body.

Where will I stay? Will Kouyou let me stay at her place?

You decided to discuss that later with Kouyou and just focus on getting ready for now. Thirty minutes passed and you had finally gotten out of the shower, putting on a pair of loose black jeans and a beige turtleneck. You tucked the hem of the turtleneck into your jeans and went back to your bedroom after brushing your hair and teeth. Kouyou was sitting on your bed, seemingly waiting for you. She smiled upon seeing you enter and got up, "I know who you can stay with. Come on, gather your stuff." You nodded and grabbed the suitcase she had set up for you. It wasn't the lightest item in the world, but it was manageable.

You slipped on your sneakers before following Kouyou out the door, handing your apartment keys to the man from earlier. Kouyou led you to a car owned by the Port Mafia. She opened the door for you and you thanked her with a smile before sitting inside. The redheaded female returned your smile before closing the door and heading to the other side of the vehicle. The other door opened and she slipped in beside you as you clasped on your seatbelt. Kouyou signaled the driver to go, turning to you with a small smile.

The car began driving to it's destination. It seemed Kouyou had already told the driver where to go ahead of time. You leaned your head on Kouyou's shoulder, tired from the lack of rest and bored from the lack of entertainment in this car. "Aren't you gonna ask who you'll be staying with?" Kouyou questioned you, grabbing your attention. You lifted your head to face her, raising an eyebrow. "Do I have to ask?" You turned the question back to her and she smiled just a bit wider, her soft, pinkish red eyes giving you comfort and warmth just by staring at you. "I just thought you'd be curious."

"Do I have to guess?"

"If you want to."

"Higuchi?"

"No,"

"Gin?"

"Nope."

"It's not a girl!?"

Kouyou chuckled lightly, the sleeve of her kimono hiding her mouth as it moved along with her laugh. The pink eyed woman shook her head, giving you the signal to guess again.

"Tachihara?"

Kouyou shook her head again.

"Kajii?"

Again, a 'no' came from the woman beside you.

You paused for a second, a bell dinging in your head. Snapping once with your fingers, you asked with confidence and certainty, albeit unsure you were correct.

"Chuuya?"

"Bingo,"

Your jaw dropped. You hadn't actually expected it would be Chuuya you'd be staying with, you only guessed him as some sort of joke. You slowly looked away from Kouyou, seeing the car pull up to the Port Mafia building where some of the members lived in apartment like rooms. You felt your heart pulsating rapidly. Living with a boy was a bit nerve-racking as it is. Living with your crush who is a boy is a whole lot worse.

You loved to be around Chuuya, but only the negative thoughts and scenarios of living with him consumed your mind. What if you accidentally walked in on him changing? He'd definitely think you're some stalker if you did. What if you accidentally drop something valuable to him? He'd probably kill you. You trembled in your seat, your mind racing with all kinds of thoughts. Kouyou placed a hand on your shoulder in attempt to comfort you. "Don't be nervous, I'm sure everything will turn out okay. It's only for four months-"

"Four months!?" You snapped your head towards her, breathing unsteady and quick. Kouyou pulled you closer to her, trying to hush you and get you to calm down. "Relax, I'm sure Chuuya will be patient with you." You snuggled closer to her, desperately looking for comfort. She rubbed your back slowly in a circular motion while gently rocking you back and forth, occasionally hushing you with her tender, honey-like voice.

The car stopped and parked in front of the building. Your had calmed down a bit, but you were still trembling slightly and internally freaking out. Kouyou took your hand after you both had exited the car, guiding you to the elevator inside the building. As the elevator doors close in front you, your heart began racing again. Kouyou presses the button to travel up to his floor and pulls you closer once again. The more the elevator ascended, the more nervous you felt. You couldn't quite understand why you were so afraid. You spend time with Chuuya everyday at work. In your head, you asked yourself if the awkward date last night was the reason. You jumped upon hearing the ding of the elevator, the doors opening soon after the ding. Kouyou dragged you out, slowly bringing both of your bodies to Chuuya's door.

Your heart pounded in your ears and throat, making it difficult to breathe. The sound of Kouyous' and your footsteps were faint and distant. No matter what you did, you couldn't stop the panic attack you were having. You felt like some helpless school girl around her crush. Your confidence disappeared completely and you weren't quite sure why. Kouyou stopped in front of a door and knocked. The door opened a few seconds later and your mind went blank. Suddenly, your mind had forgotten all worries and was now focused on how hot Chuuya looked instead.

His hair was up in a messy bun; something you had never seen before. His shirt was missing and he seemed to have just woken up. His tired eyes locked with yours before turning to Kouyou. You felt your cheeks burn as you looked down at the ground. "She's getting renovations and needs a place to stay. I know this is sudden, but could you let her stay with you? She doesn't have anywhere else to go."The vermillion-haired man narrowed his eyes into slits and pinched his eyebrows together, reluctantly stepping aside to let you in. 

He never argued with Kouyou and didn't plan on ever arguing with her. Kouyou raised him like a mother and older sister ever since he joined the Port Mafia at fifteen. He believes arguing with her would make him ungrateful for everything she has done. "How long is she staying?" Chuuya asked Kouyou. His voice was deep and rough, honestly the sexiest you had ever heard. Your legs felt like jelly and your knees would probably give in on you soon. "Four months," Kouyou said as she nudged you toward the open door, causing you to stumble foward. Luckily you caught yourself with the door and your feet, but then you turned to look at Chuuya. He looked even better up close, his lean body clear as day. Something dripped from your nose and you saw Chuuya's eyes widen a bit before you lost consciousness and fell in someones' arms.
