"I wish you wouldn't do that. My bike almost fell over!"
Tendou gave him the usual "we are not impressed" look. Kagami wondered what he was doing here so late at night. It didn't look like it was an emergency, not that it was the other man's style to come looking for him for help. It didn't look like Tendou was going to immediately offer up an explanation for his being here either, simply standing in front of him expectantly. Not that it was unusual for him to not explain himself but…usually Tendou would at least tell him what he wanted up front. It just seemed as if the man was waiting for something.
Then Kagami noticed had a 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 told himself didn't even care to think about why Tendou was walking around in other people's neighborhood. Without permission. Not that he needed permission but…it'd be nice to get a call before almost having a heart attack when a person decided to…to materialize out of the shadows in front of you.
He thought he heard a small breath behind him, maybe in surprise. Or maybe he was laughing at him. Jerk. A few seconds later, he hear the grit of boots on the pavement as Tendou began walking alongside him. He even had the audacity not to just follow behind 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 strolling 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, almost started that he'd actually talked after remaining quiet for so long. They were 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 here because a school was a few miles away. Kagami lived in a two bedroom on the ground floor. Personally, he thought he'd gotten 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. And he had to open all the windows during the summer since the air conditioner tended to have trouble with the hotter days. Even the exterior look unimpressive enough; the only decoration differing from the other apartments being the sparse planters of nameless "foliage" Kagami had set outside to give it a bit of character. He wondered briefly when he had last watered them. 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?? It just seemed a little weird to picture Tendou just casually looking him up in the phonebook. Well, it probably hadn't been too hard, since they'd been only a block away from his home the day they met for the very first time. Either that or the man had been following him since he left the restaurant. Without saying anything. This implied various things Kagami wasn't really in the mood to entertain right now.
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. Tendou's lips quirked slightly, his lips forming a smile that was almost a smirk.
"Hmm…finally. Being quiet for so long isn't like you."
