Kagami wasn't sure how it all started, really

"Don't do that!! My bike almost fell over!"

Tendou gave him the usual "we are not impressed" look. He had another paper bag in his hand…which reminded Kagami instantly of that afternoon.

Pursing his lips, Kagami walked around Tendou; choosing to ignore him rather than acknowledge that he felt anything other than annoyance at the man's earlier dismissal. He didn't even care to think about why Tendou was walking around in another person's neighborhood. It's not like any of his actions made sense anyway, not initially at least.

He thought he heard a small breath behind him, maybe in surprise. A few seconds later, Tendou was walking alongside him. Kagami stared resolutely forward; he wasn't going to give him a chance to criticize him, not in that area. If it had been anything else, he'd have let it go, like the rest of Tendou's antics. But…he was just naturally protective of anything related to his family. It was probably silly to be so touchy about it but…

Kagami glanced over.

Tendou was still walking next to him. But his expression! If anyone saw them, they'd probably think they were friends or something with how casually Tendou was acting. He wasn't even acting like he knew Kagami was ignoring him! How…cheeky!

He was so…annoyed! And where did he think he was going?! Kagami had made several turns, if Tendou had been headed elsewhere he'd have left by now, right? Was he following him? It certainly seemed like it.

But, asking Tendou this would mean talking to him…and Kagami didn't want to be the one to break the silence. Not while Tendou still had the air of a patient parent humoring a sulking child.

And then they started approaching his small apartment. Kagami had just about lost patience and was going to demand just where Tendou was heading when he heard the man's voice from behind.

"Ooh, so this is where you live."

Kagami stopped and looked over his shoulder at him, surprised he'd actually talked. He was standing at the gate that enclosed this group of apartments taking in the full view of where Kagami lived. Wondering what was so fascinating, Kagami followed Tendou's gaze.

It wasn't the most glamorous apartments. But this was a good neighborhood and the streets were clean. Lots of families with kids lived hear because a school was a few miles away. Kagami lived in a two bedroom on the ground floor. For the price of the rent, he'd actually got a good deal because it also came with a small kitchen area and a private shower. He had to use the public baths in the winter sometimes when the pipes froze though. Still, not seeing anything special, Kagami looked back at the source of his frustration.

"…Why the surprise? You've been here before." Though, now that he thought about it, just how did Tendou know where he lived?? Well, it probably hadn't been too hard, since he'd been only a block away from his home the day they met for the very first time.

Tendou continued looking for another moment before looking at him. Kagami tensed, upset that he'd met the man's gaze; it felt like he'd fallen into a trap.

"Hmm…finally. Being quiet for so long isn't like you…" Tendou smirked at him.
