A Story About Coincidences - Ushijima Wakatoshi x Amanai Kanoka

Prompt:
A story about a girl who meet the same person, in the same place, with same americano. In the end, she decide to say 'hi' to him.

*****

"Excuse me." A girl with short hair tried to jump over the legs of one of the passengers, who got out of the seat. Her pair of dark eyes caught a few empty seats at the back of the bus.

"Excuse me." A deep voice came from behind her back, making her jump a little and turn her head.

'Ah, here is he again.'

She glanced over at the olive-eyed man who was standing behind her before settling into one of the empty chairs.

The same man. Same bus stop.

Today he wears a dark-colored shirt with light jeans. His well-built body leaned casually on the backrest while sipping his Americano. She could see a white object perched on his ear.

'What kind of song did he listen to?'

Ding!

A soft voice came from her phone, making her avert her eyes from the man, who somehow started to steal her attention for a moment.

Amaya Yui
Don't be late, okay? I have a date today.
09.20

Amanai Kanoka
Ay ay, captain. I am on my way.
I will be there soon.
09.21

She stole another glance at the man. It was only one bench in front of her, but it felt very far. Yes. Because they are strangers. She slightly tilted her head, leaning it against the window pane, and her mind wandered to the first day she bumped into that man.

Two weeks ago? A month ago?

Ah, when she broke her heart because of Tanaka. She was secretly crying behind her hoodie, and that man came to the bus stop, half wet from the rain. She still remembered the gray jacket he wore and the white shoes that were soiled with mud. He was holding a cup of iced Americano. On a rainy day.

The bus stopped, and the figure she had been watching began to stand. That tall, slender girl was shocked, realizing that her stop was in sight too. She hurriedly got off the bus and saw that olive-eyed man creep along the sidewalk before disappearing around the corner.

"You can come a little late; I know it's raining. Be careful." The voice that came from across the phone sounds cheerful in her ear.

"Was there anything good after your date with Atsumu-san yesterday, Yui-san?" Her slender fingers were busy playing with the water that was coming down from the roof of the bus stop. It rained quite hard that day, but there was no lightning, and the wind was quite friendly.

"Aah, nothing. Don't tease me, or I'll leave the cafe and force you to come quickly!"

"Oh my, Yui-san! I am just kidding!"

Her ears could hear laughter coming from the end of her phone before the owner of the voice bid her goodbye.

Her dark eyes were busy staring at the sky as soon as she ended the call.

'It looks like that man will not come today'

Her mind was wandering to the unknown figure who had stolen her attention for the past few weeks. She patted her wet hands on her trousers when someone suddenly came with a blue umbrella in his hand. A fresh citrus scent suddenly tickled her nose, making her turn to the figure who was standing next to her. He was busy shaking his umbrella before folding it into a small form, tucking it beside his bag, and pulling a glass of iced Americano from another pouch.
