You felt your face starting to lightly sweat as you saw the guy sprinting over towards you. What were you going to say to him? You have no idea if you two will have anything in common in order to keep the conversation going. Although, watching him sprint over to you was actually pretty amusing to watch. That is, until you noticed something off.
At that split second, you saw the guy's face plummet into to the rough soil and watched his mouth scoop up a decent amount of dirt like a shovel. You could almost hear his back make a painful cracking noise as his lanky, bulky legs swung over his head, revealing the messed up dirt trail behind him. All you could do was cringe at first, because of how agonizing the whole situation looked. Your mother was staring worryingly from the other side of the lawn as the man your mom was talking to was snickering, and seemed like he mumbled a word like 'idiot'. Out of instinct, you run over to the car, grab a box of bandages from the bathroom moving box and ran over (being careful that you didn't trip and fall too) to help the poor boy in need.
"Oh god! Are you okay?!" You said approaching the guy, still face down in the dirt.
"Yeah yeah, I'm fine." He muffles into the ground. Slowly lifting his head upward from the soil, you can see the scuffs that have been left on the guy's face from skidding so gracefully. "You don' even know how many times I've done this, more than one!"
You wanted to snicker, but there were more serious issues to attend to. "You sure?" you ask again, "I brought some bandages just in case."
The tough boy stares into space for a minute, as if his consciousness went into outer space, leaving you behind. He then snaps back, looks at you directly again then sounds a soft "Sure, I'll take em. Thanks neighbor!" and lets off a wide-eyed smile reaching both sides of his face.
It was adorable.
You could feel your heart melting as you focused on the wonderful smile, that still had a bit of dirt in the teeth, not that it mattered to you. Watching your seemingly goofy brand new neighbor plaster sticky Band-Aids onto his forehead, your mind began to wander in the thought of having a new, interesting friend. Haven't had one in a while, now that you're thinking bout it. No one to go on adventures like everyone else seemed to go on with their companions. Just thinking about having fun with a good friend made you giddy on the inside, and not because you like him. that would be creepy, liking someone you've been around thirty seconds. you're better than that (y/n)... Right?
Just in your midst of thought, the deep booming voice broke though the haze in your mind.
"So, ya like it here so far?" Smiling over at you, waiting for a reply.
"Well, so far" you begin. "But I can't say too much, I just got here."
"Good point." he says in return. "What's your name, neighbor?"
"(Y/n), how about yours?"
"Okuyasu Nijimura, just call me Oku. It's shorter, ya know?"
"Alright Oku, Nice to meet you~" Yous stick your hand out in order to be polite.
Oku accepts, and reaches for a handshake. Remembering how puny you are (and how big Oku is) you began to brace yourself for the hand squeezing of a lifetime. but as he took you petite hand, nothing but softness was there for you as he seemingly caressed your soft hand as he shook up and down with his arm. You look up at his face and see one of the purest smile that anyone could ever witness, making your stomach go into knots from unexplained feelings. Feeling your face turn bright red, you decided it was time to retreat into your new home. This was getting to be way too much for you to handle.
After saying your goodbyes to your wonderful new friend, you finished unpacking your room and setting up the bed in order to have a good sleep tonight. At arond nine at night,before falling completely asleep, you think about oku and hope about how much fun you will have with him in the future.
This is the first time you were sound about the new move. That you were happy to have moved here instead of worrying of what was to come. Pondering for about twenty more minutes you fall asleep, awaiting the next day.
(sorry it took so long for the next chapter to come out, work can be very tiring. But i won't give up on best boy! A new chapter should be following soon~)
