Nagito heard the doorbell ringing. It was early, almost 5 Am and Izuru was still sleeping besides him. He got up, careful to not disturb the little kid and headed down the stairs. He was apparently not fast enough because the person outside started banging on the door, louder and louder with each second. The cloud haired boy stumbled across the salon, squishing his cheeks to try and wake up faster.
He opened the door and peeked outside, feeling incredibly tired. In front of the door was a beautiful ginger haired woman. She was wearing professional clothes, seemed rich and had a strong smell of lilac. A worried expression on her face, she asked:
"Excuse me are you-"
Nagito shut the door, not letting her finish. If it was something important, then it would probably not be addressed to him, or so he thought. But she started banging on the door again, more firmly this time. He sighted deeply.
She is going to wake up Izuru!
He opened the door again, feeling a little annoyed by all this. He didn't need someone to disturb him, he already had to take care of Izuru and his early morning habits.
The woman saw his annoyance and then bowed a little, looking sorry.
"I'm so sorry for the bother" worried traits were cracking her perfect face.
"But I believe my son is under your care...?"
He stared at her.... huh? What was she talking about?
Not totally able to process, he closed the door again. He swore that he heard the ginger haired woman swear under her breath when he did that. He wasn't sure anymore, was she talking about Izuru by any chance? His thought was swirling around, inventing a thousand of absurd scenarios.
Nagito put his back against the door, massaging his temples and trying to wake himself completely. Maybe he was dreaming or hallucinating.
He heard little and tired footsteps coming in his direction. Izuru was now just in front of him, not entirely awake and looking confusedly at the door.
"Who was banging so loudly...?"
Nagito kneeled and ruffled Izuru's hair a faint smile on his lips.
"Izuru dear! No one no one! Please go back to sleep, it's so early!"
He yawned a small tear rolling down his cheek.
"Izuru is tired... Can Mister 'Maeda go back to sleep too...? The shadows are still here..."
Izuru grabbed Nagito's sleeve and pulled lightly on it. Nagito whipped Izuru's tear away nodding.
"Yes of course."
As he got up and started walking away again, the banging started again. Oh my god.
Won't this person go away already?
Izuru looked up at him. He gasped.
"Oooh ! Liar! Someone is banging!"
The white hair boy put a finger on Izuru's lips, hushing him.
"Sht sweetie, there is someone on the other side...."
Izuru turned to look at the wooden door arching an eyebrow.
"Why did Mister 'Maeda lied? This action didn't have any apparent purpose!"
Nagito glared at the door, pulling Izuru toward the stairs.
Already ten minutes of sleep lost.
He sighted. Izuru was pulling in the opposite direction of Nagito's. But he was still sliding because of the weight and height difference.
