Black and White (Rin Matsuoka x fem!OC)

12.

The next month wasn't as I thought it would be, I found myself happier than I've ever been in my life. It's true that I missed the guys, but this was an adventure and I had to live it. I didn't find myself crying over Rin's absence, but I did text him often and he always replied unlike Haru. I went back to Tokyo with my friends for New Year, and I felt the urge to call everyone so that we could spend the last hours together, but they were far away from Tokyo by then. Still, I enjoyed watching the fireworks and all the noise around me. Hugging everyone when the screen showed the numbers of the new year. Suddenly everyone was kissing someone and I found myself looking around me in search of someone to have a New Year's kiss with.

Actually I think I was looking for Rin in the crowd, but my eyes landed on a pink haired guy with a light gray beanie. We locked eyes for a second.
-Noah, do you wanna...? Uh...- he said with his cheeks tinted the same color as his hair.
A smile appeared on my face.
-Kis-uh-mee- I said taking advantage of the phonetic of his name.
-I've the feeling you've been saving up that joke for sometime now.
-Maybe...- I said smiling.
He laughed before leaning over and capturing my lips on his in a short kiss.

A kiss can be so meaningful when it's shared with that person, and it's just fun and games when it's shared with a friend.

I returned to Tokyo two weeks later on a Thursday afternoon, we all went our separate ways when we got to the subway station. I got in the train with my two bags and saw the sun setting from the windows. I got off at my stop and walked slowly to the blue building on the left, I didn't realise it at first but oh how I missed walking through that path...it feels like I haven't been there in years.

Suddenly, I felt excitement running through my body, I wanted to see Haru and Rin. I started running toward the staircase to get away from the cold and to be held by Haru's arms after so long.
-Haru, I'm home!- I exclaimed when I closed the door behind me. I took off my jacket and put it on the closet as I spotted another huge green jacket, similar to Makoto's. I furrowed my eyebrows and then spotted another pair of shoes to the side. Those were definitely not Haru's.
-So Makoto's here- I said to myself.
I put on my slippers and carried my two bags with me. I put them inside my bedroom quickly, before turning to the bathroom.
-Haru are you there?- I said from the outside. There was no response, I opened the door, nothing. I went to the kitchen and same thing, I walked to his bedroom and knocked.
-Haru? Makoto? Are you playing video games?
There were muffled sounds and some whispers. I panicked a bit.
-I'm here but don't come in- Haru said. He sounded alarmed.
-Are you ok?
-Yeah, don't worry.
-Oh-h ok.
I didn't move, wondering why was he acting so strange. Was he touching himself or something? Before my feet could move away, I heard Makoto's voice and I put my ear closer to the door.
-Don't you think we should stop? Noah's back, we can't do much noise or we'd get busted...
-Do you really wanna stop?- Haru said in a husky voice.
Then I heard a moan. My eyes widened and I walked away quietly to my bedroom and shut the door. Oh my God. Am I dreaming?

I stayed in my bedroom for a couple of minutes unable to move or to process what I'd heard, until my stomach started to growl. I should have bought something on the way here. I took my purse and opened my bedroom door, I ran to the main door and shout an "I'll be back" before putting my boots on and my jacket quickly, and heading out to the cold street again. I sighed while walking to the station, why was I so awkward about this? Unfortunately, it's not the first time I've heard my flatmate having sex, but I didn't expect it from Haru.

Now that I was thinking about them together, I shouldn't be surprised. It was obvious really, why didn't I see it before? A smile appeared on my face as I pictured them together hand in hand, stealing kisses every once in awhile, Haru resting his head in Makoto's chest... They did make a nice couple. Still, I didn't want to hear them so I should just stay out of the apartment for awhile and give them privacy. Even though I was so tired from the trip.
