The City of Tokyo was really home to the best school in Japan and Even though he was a year late nishikata was finally entering Totomi High, but first he needed a place to stay

At the railway station

Nishikata : where do you stay takagi?

Takagi : me, sumire and houjou rent an apartment near the school, we're roommates

Nishikata : doesn't the high school provide dorms? Also there aren't any apartments near the school so how do you?

Takagi : well the dorms are always full of drama like there's this one rich girl who thinks the world revolves around her, we like to stay away from the drama...

Nishikata : oh?

Takagi : it's close enough to go by bike and more people from the same school stay there so there is a bus stop on the nearby road so you can use the bus if we want and the school allows vehicles so we can use a vehicle if we want

Nishikata : well I'm also staying in an apartment...

Takagi : don't you guys have mansion in Tokyo?

Nishikata : well I don't really want to shout that fact about...

Takagi : yeah you hid it for years In middle school

Nishikata : so I'll be moving into an apartment with Lexi...

Takagi : who's Lexi?

Nishikata : yeah we got a kitten a few months back we just call her lexi and I'm not going anywhere without her

Takagi : oh? I want to meet this kitty

Nishikata : well my house is just a bunch of cardboard boxes for now so maybe later...

Takagi : don't worry I'll help you sort those boxes

Nishikata : you don't wanna ruin your Sunday by helping me unpack cause I know there are a lot of boxes

Takagi : the day won't be ruined if I spend it with you... Plus I'll get to know your new address...

Nishikata : speaking of addresses I can drop you home if you'd like...

Takagi : yeah sure

After dropping her off

Nishikata : wait...

Takagi : what?

Nishikata : this is it.. Which floor do you girls live in?

Takagi : the third floor 3-B... Why?

Nishikata : well... ( he pulled her along...) this sign says that this building is owned by a certain a company... And that company is owned by the togami corporation...

Takagi : wait... I remember... Shuichi-san helped us to find a good place with less rent for us...he offered staying in one of their houses for free but it didn't feel right...

Nishikata : shuichi... He definitely planned this... I don't know if I should thank him or beat his ass...

Takagi : well he owns this entire building so he gave us a discount on the rent.. Whats wrong with that?

Nishikata : I'm staying in the same building... On the fourth floor 4-B...

Takagi : just above us!! ( she hugged him) that's wonderful!!

Nishikata : I never said it isn't... I'm just suprised he didn't tell me earlier...

Takagi : well let's go meet with the others!!

As they climbed up the stairs nishikata asked her about the campus and the people

Sumire : yo dorkface

Nishikata : still an annoying little bitch I see

Sumire : hey Rie did you forget our don't bring boyfriends home policy

Takagi : huh?

Sumire : we like to keep it quiet at night so we can sleep...

Takagi : ( she blushed furiously and looked over at nishikata)

Nishikata : ( he just hid his face as he realized what she just implied ) wow just wow

Houjou : ( she couldn't stop laughing as takagi's blush was a rare event that should be documented and so she took a picture)

Takagi : don't take pictures houjou!!

Sumire : no but jokes aside really this is our space so no entry for you... ( she whispered for dramatics) also I don't wanna be an aunt at this age...

Nishikata : Jesus Christ... I don't even know what to say...

Houjou : ( sound of camera) that's another one, Good lord sumire you're on a roll today

Takagi : I have to deal with this everyday...

Nishikata : ok Ms DumpsterFire just remember I'm technically your landlord...

Sumire : and?

Nishikata : wow I expected that to shut you up...it didn't... I'm impressed

Takagi : ok little kids stop arguing, sumire he lives here too just above us on the fourth floor

Sumire : oh? I thought you two were-

Takagi : don't finish that sentence

Sumire : ( smirk) If you say so... ( she went inside

Takagi : ( and she wonders why she's still single) I'll be back in a minute just wait for me in your apartment ok?

Nishikata : uh.. Sure ok...

Takagi changed into casual clothes and went upto his room

Nishikata : ( he was just sitting on the sofa while petting a little grey white ball of fluff)

Takagi : ( closing the door behind her) what's that on your lap

Nishikata : this fluff ball is what I like to call Lexi..

Takagi : aww she's so cute... ( she tried to pet her but Lexi ran away meowing loudly) oh...

Nishikata : dont worry she's a bit shy ( he called her back and Lexi came back) I'll hold her so you can pet it ok, just watch out for the scratches

Takagi : ( she carefully pet her and after a few minutes nishikata placed her on takagi's lap) she's so small... Lexi can literally fit in the palm of my hand..

Nishikata : yeah she's just 4 weeks old

Takagi : I see ( she petted her around her neck and then she ran off again) oh there she goes

Nishikata : ( he chuckled) she just comes to me when she needs attention and than acts like we don't even exist, I'll set up her corner and her scratching post first or she'll scratch up the walls and curtains

Takagi : I'll just open the boxes and set them up

Nishikata : just call me if you need help with the furniture...

After carrying furniture, settling boxes and after setting up the kitchen while dodging lexi for around 4 hours the house was finally livable

Nishikata : Im so tired… lexi stop licking my face and go to sleep already… bed

Takagi : ( lexi jumped onto her bed) wow she actually listened to you

Nishikata : nah it's just that 4 week old kittens sleep for 16 hours a day...sometimes I wish I was just a kitten…

Takagi : ( she placed her hand on his head) there there kitty

Nishikata : are you serious

Takagi : what? you're the one who wanted to be a kitten

Nishikata : I can set up the office tomorrow you should go back to your house

Takagi : wait ( she called sumire)

sumire : I already know what you have to say so I've already locked the door from inside ok

Takagi : how did you..

Sumire : I can read you like an open book Rie

Takagi : well you are my best friend…

Sumire : ~just keep it quiet~

Takagi : I hate you

Sumire : ( she just laughed and hanged up)

Takagi : I'm staying here

Nishikata : really? Well I mean…I was about to order pizza …

Takagi : I can cook some pasta to go along with it if you want

Nishikata : sure…

Takagi : this feels a lot like husband and wife doesn't it?

Nishikata : it does? I don't know I've never been married before sorry

Takagi : what

Nishikata : I saw shuichi pull this on suika and I couldn't help myself, God can you believe Shuichi is already practicing Dad Jokes

Takagi : that sounds like him….

After dinner he was just snoring on the bed

Takagi : looks like he is still suffering from the jet lag ( she looked at her casuals) ( eh I can sleep in these)

Takagi : ( she crawled into the bedside him and closed the lights) ( she placed her head on his arm)

Nishikata : ( he wrapped himself around her while sleeping)

Takagi : ( her face was burried near his chest and gave him a quick goodnight kiss on the cheek) I should tell him a about Amano-kun before he finds out on his own.. Since he is also student representative along with Amano-kun he'll find out that he confessed to me eventually…I'll tell him tomorrow….
