Chapter 6

Enji pulls up to his house and I immediately feel my heart drop to my feet.

I'm really here!

The first thing that catches my attention is the traditional Japanese style.

My apartment that I share with my eccentric roommate and his partner is just your basic two-bedroom house that screams 'I'm poor as fuck but at least I'm not in a tent.'

Even so, I couldn't ask for a better person to share a living space with.

Enji takes my hand and we walk together into his house.

I take my heels off and he guides me to a bedroom.

"This is where you'll stay for the time being," he says as I walk further into the room, admiring the decor.

He walks up behind me, holding my hips against him. "Or you could stay in my room with me."

My breath hitches and I tense up. Without thinking I respond, "I would like that."

I feel him pull me harder against him and I yelp.

He bends down to my level, his breath warming my ear.

"Don't say things like that Y/N," he pulls away and takes a few steps back. "Or you'll regret it."

"And why would I," I retort as I turn around to look him in the eyes. "I like you Enji. I've never felt this way about anyone else."

He folds his arms and hangs his head. "And that's because you've never had real relationships."

I raise my eyebrow, gesturing for him to explain.

He sighs. "You're 17 Y/N. I don't want to do anything to you that you'll regret in the future."

I walk over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"But I want this," I pause. "I want you."

He pulls away from me again. "No, you don't. You don't know what you're saying. You're still a teenager and I'm a middle-aged man. You don't want me. You don't need me."

He steps back, now at the doorway.

"Enji, I don't understand."

He pinches the bridge of his nose, squinting.

"Y/N, I've never had a real relationship with anyone. Hell, I bought my first wife."

He looks away, not being able to look me in my eyes.

"You know of all the things that I did. I messed up so many lives. My wife, my kids, I don't know if I can ever be forgiven. I don't want to make the same mistakes with you Y/N."

He walks back over to me and takes my hands in his. He looks into my eyes apologetically.

"I really like you Y/N. Shit, I don't think I've ever liked someone as much as I like you." He squeezes my hands. "Which is why I don't want you to end up like Rei. I want to have something special with you."

"So do I Enji. I've practically raised myself most of my life. That means making all of my own decisions. I wouldn't say anything I don't mean."

I wrap my arms around his waist again and he pulls me in tighter.

I rest my head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"Let's take this slow then, Enji Todoroki. Let's make the most of our time together before it's up, Kay?"

"Okay, Y/N."

He pulls away, only to bend down to my height and plant a short but sweet kiss on my lips.
