« No Pet Policy » || Inuoka Sō x Reader

{F/N} loved animals. Really, she did. You could ask any of her friends, and they would all answer the same – she would never do anything to hurt them.

But that she loved them didn't mean that they didn't annoy her sometimes. She loved petting cats and taking care of them, but... Sometimes they were troublesome.

The girl knocked on her neighbor's apartment door and ran a hand through her hair, letting out a little sigh. She was pretty tired, and with the circumstances as they were, she wasn't going to get any sleep any time soon.

The door in front of her opened as she had her eyes closed, to which she answered almost instantly. "Look, I don't want to be that jerk but our building has a strict No Pet Policy and your cat will not stop meowing and I can't fall asleep that way and if it won't stop in the next few minutes I'll have to r-"

She opened her eyes and was met with the face of a taller brunette, a friendly expression on his face as he looked at her. "I'll have to r- Oh no, you're cute."

She instantly covered her mouth after saying that and blushed like crazy, not expecting to let those words escape her lips so quickly.

"Thanks!" He chuckled, "Sorry, I'll try to make him keep quiet."

He rubbed the back of his head and peeked behind him, trying to check if his rooms looked decent. "Why don't you come in? I can get you something to drink as an apology?"

{F/N} nodded nervously and walked passed him as he stepped aside, immediately inspecting his living room silently.

"I-I'm Inuoka, by the way. I moved in here not too long ago..."

The boy walked into his kitchen and cracked a little smile when {F/N} was petting his cat, trying to focus on his fridge rather than the girl.

If any of his old teammates would see him, they'd most likely be baffled – he had matured a lot since he graduated from high school. He still had his rather sudden personality, but his dealing with girls went a lot better.

The girl looked up from the cat and smiled as well, "O-Oh, sorry! Where are my manners? Damnit, {F/N}...!"

She shook her head to get herself out of it and tried to smile again, "{L/N} {F/N}, pleasure to meet you! {F/N}'s fine, though, that's what everyone calls me."

Inuoka smiled as he softly repeated her name, leaning his hands and back against his counter. It sounded great coming from his lips.

"Well, then, what would you like to drink, {F/N}?"

She got up from the floor and walked towards his kitchen, "A-Ah, whatever you have! I don't want to be more of a bother than I already am..."

He opened the fridge and stepped aside, "Whatever you want! There's also tea and coffee, if you'd rather have something warm."

{F/N} hesitated with her choice a little but pointed at the tap eventually, "Water's fine, thank you."

"Sure?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, then."

He found a cold bottle of water in the fridge and poured it in a glass for her, handing it to her before pouring a drink for himself and joining her on his couch.

As soon as he finished his drink, he flinched a little when realizing he had been unintentionally stalling her. She was tired after all, wasn't she? "A-Ah, I'm sorry for chatting so long...! You must want to sleep, that's why you came here in the first place..."

{F/N} smiled softly, "No, no, that's totally fine! I really liked spending time with you."

Without realizing it, she rested her head on his shoulder and snuggled up against him, leaving him with a blush on his face. "I wouldn't be able to sleep in my own bed, anyways. My apartment isn't exactly... Inviting, like yours."

She was making herself comfortable, and she realized that soon enough when accidentally taking a whiff of his scent. "A-Ah, s-sorry! Your apartment somehow reminds me of home..."

She averted her gaze and scratched the back of her neck, "But I guess you already noticed that... I-I shouldn't be doing all of this..."

She got up from his couch and walked to his door, opening it but being stopped in the doorframe.

"W-Wait!"

The girl was surprised by the sudden action and turned around, eyeing the hand around her wrist before meeting his eyes again.

"Would you... Would you want to grab lunch together tomorrow?"

{F/N} blinked a few times before processing his question and feeling her cheeks burn up, before nodding hastily. "Y-Yes, I-I'd love to!"

Inuoka smiled brightly, which made the girl cover her face with one hand and his with the other.

"S-Stop that... It's too cute..." She whispered, getting ready to walk away if not for the boy quickly pecking her lips.

"I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Y-Yeah... Hahaha..."

And with that, {F/N} remained as a blushing mess in front of a closed door. How did a lack of sleep and a cat lead to a date?
