it's been a few days now since that day. and yet megumi can't help the occasional image of the blonde-haired girl that pops into his head, even at the oddest times.
he had given in to the temptation once though, finding his way back to that same convenience store just to see if he could get a glimpse of her. she hadn't been there and he'd been so embarrassed that he'd bought a lot of things just to make it up to the clueless cashier.
he's just started to work on one of his assignments, an attempt to distract himself, when he hears a soft rap on the door.
he immediately knows it can't be yuji or nobara. they both have the keys anyway so with a sigh, he gets up to open the door.
his mind must be playing tricks on him, he reckons, because just outside his door is the very subject of all his thoughts.
her hair is out of the messy bun it was in when they first met. now, it's styled neatly in a half-up-half-down manner. she's wearing a bit of makeup too, another different element about her.
he's so busy trying to believe his eyes, that she's been presented to him once again, that he doesn't notice that she starts to talk.
"hi" she greets with a small smile. "nobara told me i could come here. is she in?"
"she stepped out" he replies as coolly as possible. "but you can come in"
he steps aside for her to come in and as she walks past him, the strong scent of her vanilla perfume fills his nostrils.
it fills the entire room actually.
he can't but discreetly take deep breaths of the sweet smell.
"i saw you the other day at the store but we weren't formally introduced. i'm emi" she tells him and holds out her hand for a handshake.
"megumi" he returns.
their hands meet and he marvels at how soft her palm feels. it's quite a contrast to his. much too soon, the skinship is over and his hand starts to feel much too cold.
"did she go far?"
"i don't think so. i could call to check for you" he offers.
"sure. thank you" she gives him an even bigger smile and he has to physically force himself to move so as not to stare at her the whole time.
"you can sit while you wait," he says and excuses himself to make the call.

emi takes an interest in what she assumes is megumi's work and she's looking over it when he gets back.
"she says she's almost here" he informs her and she nods.
