06. the boy in the photo

◘

Previously

(Y/N) seemed like a normal person... er, well, if you looked past the whole super soldier thing. But she still blew him off in some subjects. And she said she didn't care about what he told her.

He wonders if maybe that's a defense mechanism, or she really doesn't care.

'What a weird girl...'

◘

(Y/N) counts the things in her room, twelve discolored parts of the ceiling, she has ten fingers, ten toes, there are eight corners, six big cracks in the plaster, four walls, two patches of mold, a ceiling, a floor, a closed door.

Then there are two knocks on the door, the one doorknob turns, and now the closed door is open, revealing one person.

She doesn't pay attention and decides to count other things in the rooms, four eyes, two people, three normal pupils, five seconds have passed, 2 sets of four limbs, one really long moment very awkward, awkward silence.

"Ahem."

(Y/N) sits up and looks at the person, they've now closed the once open door.

She recognizes this person as, "Ah-kaa-shi."

Akaashi nods and gives (Y/N) a soft smile, "Yes, that's me."

She notices trays of something in his hand and she tilts her head, inspecting the objects.

Akaashi realizes her confusion and gestures for her to take one of them, "It's food, for you. I'll be eating breakfast with you."

(Y/N) takes it and picks up the fork, poking the eggs and rice with a disgusted face, "What is this stuff? Why is it yellow? Is it poisoned?"

Akaashi shakes his head, "Uhm, no... those are eggs, and white rice."

She looks up at him with furrowed eyebrows, "Do guys don't have diet cubes? I'd rather have one of those."

He awkwardly shakes his head, "I'm afraid not, what are those?"

(Y/N) makes a small cube shape with her fingers, "They're like this big, is enough to keep me full for a whole day, tastes like nothing, and has all the needed nutrients without excess fats or sugars."

"And you ate one a day."

"Mhm."

Akaashi sits on the floor and gestured for her to sit in front of him. She sits down a safe six feet away from him. He picks up his fork and starts to dig into his own meal. He notices that she still pokes at the meal, he chuckles, "I promise, it's not poisoned, and it tastes good too."

(Y/N) glares at the eggs, "Okay..." 

She takes a fork full and hesitantly puts it into her mouth. Akaashi watches as she chews for a moment, tasting it. Then her eyes light up and she eagerly takes another bite, and then happily takes another. 

He chuckles, he might never take eggs and rice for granted again, her eyes shine in amazement as if it's the best thing she's ever eaten. Her face is blank, but he can tell she's enjoying herself, as her eyebrows are raised slightly and her eyes are wide.

They both finish their food, (Y/N) a lot faster than Akaashi as she practically inhaled the food. He takes her tray form him and gets up, "I'm going to go put these back, I'll be back in a few."
