I.
When they met, it was purely coincidental. It's been five years since they last saw each other. They were nineteen then, and their encounter, although brief and bittersweet, was still etched on their minds. A permanent reminder that fate wasn't on their side to begin with.
They were now at the tender age of twenty four, a good five years has past and they still didn't know what to say. If he were somebody else, she would've told him off because clearly she called the taxi first. If she were somebody else, he would've brushed her off coolly, not even bothering to waste his breath on an such an idiotic woman.
But when gold met gold, they stood frozen in place.
That was until another man decided to take the taxi, wondering what in God's name those two were doing. 'Kids these days are such slow pokes,' the man grumbled.
"Well that was rude." The redhead commented, obviously still dazed.
"Yes. Well so is staring."
"Which you're obviously still doing," she said with a smirk. "It's been a while, Tsukimori-kun."
He nodded. "It has."
They were silent again, but Len knew better this time.
"There's a cafe around the block. If you're not too busy..."
II.
"So here I am, no longer unemployed -thank God- but still technically homeless. I'm such a mess."
Kahoko was mindlessly stirring her coffee as Len stared at her.
Again.
This was their third meeting ever since the taxi incident, and no, they told their friends, this was definitely not a date. They weren't sure who they were trying to convince, though.
"Move in with me."
Maybe it was her sob story, or maybe it was the sweets (he really didn't handle sugar rush well), or maybe it was for old time's sake, but those four words slipped out of his mouth so casually that it he questioned his mental health. Clearly, he was going insane.
"Are you sure?"
"Completely."
Yep, definitely insane.
III.
"So you're saying that this is a win-win situation?"
"That is correct. She would have a place to stay and I would have someone to watch over the apartment when I'm gone."
"The apartment and the cat?"
"Yes, Momo too."
Ryoutaro watched Len flip through his music scores. This was... sudden. He was still recovering from the incident earlier that morning when Kahoko -of all people- clad only in a an oversized shirt and pajama shorts, greeted him at Len's door.
Len's humming brought him back to reality and threw him off again. It was a pop song for crying out loud. What did that woman do to him?
He texted his girlfriend to call him immediately after work. Manami was definitely going to love this.
A/N: And I'm back with another story featuring our little ice cube, yay! So what do you guys think? Any comment? Suggestions? Feel free to write a review.
In other news, episode two of Blue Sky is up and *gasp* was that Len playing Ave Maria? I really hope the original characters would have a cameo appearance this season. Based on the game, I know Etou is going to be there, and I have a feeling Kazuki would be too since he was part of the orchestra club. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
