oo1: "Ain't it Fun"

Sakura let out a sigh of relief as she unpacked the last of her boxes. She smiled to herself and wiped her brow with the back of her hand, looking at the now fully furnished living room. Sakura had recently moved into an apartment complex in Tokyo after securing a job in the city. She missed Tomoeda dearly, especially her father, her brother, and Tomoyo, but this was a new and exciting chapter in her life.

"I will definitely be alright."

And if she ever felt the need, home was only about an hour away by Shinkansen.

After she had graduated from college, Sakura had been on the job hunt for a few months. Two phone screenings and an interview later she was hired at the firm of her dreams.

Sakura plopped down onto her couch but was immediately uncomfortable, the summer heat causing the material to cling to her skin. Luckily, the maintenance guy would be coming in tomorrow to install the air conditioning, so an open window would do for now. A breeze settled in as soon as Sakura opened the window.

Right outside the window was her terrace, which was cutely decorated with a few potted plants and opened up to the ground floor below. She smiled to herself, remembering how she really wanted the second story unit solely for the high ceilings. It made her one bedroom apartment seem that much more bigger.

Sakura was resting her head on her arms, thinking of all the amazing things that were in store for her, but the slamming of a door interrupted her thoughts. Peering down she saw a boy about her age, dressed in workout attire, save for a shirt. He was warming up before setting off for a run. Sakura could feel her cheeks heat up and unconsciously ducked while still gazing after the brunette. She didn't know whether to curse or praise the heat, but her cheeks flamed at the thought. "I will be definitely be alright."

A/N: Hello everyone! It has been years since I've written so I'm sorry, I'm a little rusty. Not to mention fanfictiondotnet is way different from what I remember, lol. Inspiration for this is slightly from Paramore's "Ain't It Fun." Look forward to many more drabbles that may or may not connect~
