Lobster

What if he said the wrong thing, and then you got mad at him for it, and then you ignored him for the rest of the night, and then you two started to grow apart, and it would be all his fault. What if–

The door suddenly opened revealing Tomoya. “Hey have you seen–” Tomoya started as he entered the room, But the moment his eyes landed on Yuki's face he could tell he was freaking out over something. “What’s wrong?”

Yuki just shook his head before turning back to his bag. “Hey, talk to me, Yuki.” He moved to sit down next to him. “It's nothing hyung, I'm fine.” Tomoya made a face at him after hearing that. But he didn’t push it, he just sat next to him waiting.

“I– i’m–” Yuki tripped over his words. “ I don't know, I'm scared to go to her house.” Yuki finally said, hiding his face away from the older boy. “Well, why are you scared? I mean you really shouldn’t be. It's not like just because you sleep over she is going to immediately hate you.”

Yuki didn't seem convinced by his words. “Do you think that she’s going to out of nowhere just hate you cause you slept over?” Yuki didn't meet his eyes, which told Tomoya all he needed to know.

“Yuki, look at me,” Tomoya leaned into Yuki's vision, forcing him to look at him. “She doesn't hate you, and she's not going to hate you out of nowhere. She likes you. Now finish packing, you wouldn't want to leave a girl waiting. Trust me it's not worth it.”

The younger boy had a look of confusion and shock. “Hyung, are you dating!?”

“No, well… not yet. But hopefully soon. I'll tell you later. Now it's time for you to finish packing.” Yuki had a look of pure shock on his face. “Don’t make that face at me, you're acting like I could never find someone.”

“I’m just surprised you found someone who would.” Yuki said while trying to keep a straight face. “Get over here!” Tomoya pulled him over and started tickling him.

“AH! Nooo stoop!” he said through laughs. He tried to push him away with his legs. Tomoya temporarily stopped. “You gonna take it back?”

“No-” He didn't even let him finish getting his words out before starting again, Yuki’s laughs filled the room. “Just take it back.”

“Never!” Yuki said. Tomoya trapped him underneath him as he continued to attack his sides. “hyung… stop i still… have to finish packing.” Yuki tried getting out of his grip but that only made tomoya tickle him more,

Tomoya finally stopped and moved off him to actually give him space to breathe. After a couple of seconds yuki had finally caught his breath. “Now you need to actually pack,” Tomoya started. “Cause, if you don't I'll do it for you, and I'll make sure to make it as embarrassing as possible."

“Well I don't even know what to pack anyways.” Yuki confessed.

“Why didn't you ask one of us? You have an hour until you have to leave!” Yuki looked away, he felt a little guilty, because the reason why he hadn't packed yet, was because of being scared.

He heard Tomoya shuffling around for a second before having his clothes thrown at him. “Hey! Wait, why are you throwing stuff at me?”

“You said you didn't know what to pack, there are your options.” He gestured to the clothes thrown on top of Yuki. “Just pick a pair of pajamas and then a change of clothes for tomorrow, don't overthink it.”

Yuki sighed, he knew he couldn't put it off any longer. He grabbed the backpack that he pulled out earlier, then just grabbed one of the pairs of pajamas on the flour. Yuki turned to Tomoya before saying. “ You can leave now hyung, I got it from here.”

“Are you sure?” Tomoya asked as a grin started to appear. “Cause just a second ago you had no clue what to pack, to sleep at someone's house.”

“Yes yes I'm sure.” Yuki said as he started trying to push him out of the room. Tomoya was kinda walking but he was laughing the entire time yuki was pushing him out. When yuki finally got him out of the room he was about to walk away before yuki stopped him.

“Hyung,” Tomoya paused, looking back at the door. “Thank you.”

“Of course, I'll always help if you need it.”

Once yuki closed the door he was left alone with his thoughts again, he felt his thoughts start to wander, but he shut them down, he needed to finish packing first.

He pulled out a pair of jeans and a sweater for the morning, shoving them in his bag, not really caring if they get messed up. He went to the bathroom to grab his toothbrush and tooth paste, after he put those in a separate compartment he went through his mental check list.

pajamas, change of clothes, toothbrush… “Oh, my charger.” he unplugged it from the wall, shoving it into one of the compartments. “ That should be it.”

He slung the bag over his shoulder, he was about to walk over to the door when he realized the clothes that Tomoya had thrown at him still lay on the ground. He groaned, dropping his bag on the floor. “I swear I'm gonna hire someone to curse him.” he muttered under his breath.

He checked his phone to see how much longer he has until he has to be there, 15 minutes. Dammit! He picked up his bag and rushed out of his room, he slipped on his shoes and was out the door in a flash.

The elevator gave a chime as it came to the stop on the 3rd floor. He walked out looking at the numbers on the doors while he walked down the hallway. 35… 36… 37… 38! He knocked on the door. He heard the shuffling on the other side of the door, then heard the door unlocking. He felt his nerves spike suddenly.

“So, you're finally here. Took you long enough.” you said with a smirk on your lips. While opening the door for him to come inside. “Sorry, I didn't mean to be so late.” Yuki quickly apologized as he followed you inside. “Sure you didn't." You teased.

Yuki giggled at your words, he knows you're just teasing him. “And the fact you have the nerve to show up in the wrong attire."

“Did you want me to show up in my pajamas?”

“Yeah I did, you should have known.”

“Alright then I'll get changed, to hopefully make it up to you,” he said while pitching up his voice. “Where is the bathroom?”

“Just down the hall. I’ll be in the living room once you’re done.” He nodded and made his way down the hall.

He took a second, he was still nervous. He looked himself off for a minute before forcing himself out of the bathroom for his anxiety to grow.

He sat his bag next to the couch when he came into the living room. You were already on the couch waiting for him. He noticed all the snacks you got for the two of you. He sat down right next to you. “So what are we watching?” he asked when you turned on the TV.

You shrugged. After a couple of minutes, the two of you landed on a new rom-con. You got up and turned the lights off, before playing the movie you grabbed a blanket for yourself, after starting it you wrapped the blanket around yourself, settling into the couch. You looked over at Yuki, who was sitting a little far from you.

“Yuuuki,” you dragged out his name. “Why are you so far away?” you said through a pout. He gave you a sweet smile. “I’ll only move closer if you share the blanket.” You didn’t hesitate to lift the blanket up. He shifted closer and as soon as you thought he was close enough you dropped. As soon as he was settled in his new spot you rested your head on his shoulder.

He tensed a bit when he first felt the weight, but relaxed soon after.

After the movie finished your eyes felt heavy and you were struggling to keep them open. You wanted to repassion yourself to be more comfortable but didn't want to wake the yuki that had fallen asleep on your shoulder.

You took the risk and slid down a bit, but that made him stir, he let out a low rumble. His eyes started to open but you stopped him, you pulled his head down to rest on your shoulder again.

“Go back to sleep.” Lucky he was too tired to fight back, he shifted down to be more comfortable before closing his eyes again.

You let out a sigh of relief. You rested one of your hands on his head, scratching it softly, and the other wrapped around his shoulder. You shut your eyes, the warmth radiating off him slowly lulled you to sleep.

It was only later into his walk that the strays started to appear from the alleyway acres the street, most of them were cats, there were a couple dogs but most of them were cats.

While he was watching them cross over to the park, he noticed a cat lagging behind the rest of the group. It was a black kitten, but the thing is that it has a caller on, so it definitely wasn't a stray cat, but how’d someone's kitten get all the way over here.

As the kitten reached the curb he tried to get over the curb, it was really struggling and as it was about to try and jump up Haru scooped him up.

But as soon as Haru had the kitten in his arms it started wailing, like it was trying to argue that he could do it himself. It was even trying to jump out of his arms.

Haru couldn't help but giggle at the little guy struggling to get out of his hands. “Aw, it's ok little guy, you’re safe with me.” Checking the name on the tag it had said Nemo.

“Nemo, so that's your name.” Nemo gave a loud wail in response, he just giggled at him. Haru looked back at the tag for a phone number and the name of the owner.

He kept the kitten in one hand as he pulled out his phone to call the owner. The kitten seemed to have a problem with that cause it got louder and tried biting and scratching Haru’s hand. 

After he put in the digits, he put it up to his ear. It rang for a little, then a woman's voice came through.

“Hello, is this Jiyun?”

“Yes. Who is this?” 

“My name is Haru, and I might have found your cat.”

“What?!” The woman raised her voice.

“I found him in Gyeongui-line park.”

“Gyeongui park! Stay right there I'll be over there in less than ten minutes.”

He hummed, after he hung up he moved to sit at a nearby bench. “I guess you’re stuck with me a little longer.” Nemo gave a small huff at that. Haru couldn’t help but smile at him.

After just sitting with Nemo in his lap for a bit, he attempted to pet him. He slowly used the back of his hand to pet him, and to his surprise he didn't bite him.

Nemo started to purr at the feeling of his hand. “Aw, see you like me.” Nemo didn’t seem like he liked that and started trying to bite and scratch him. “Hey stop that!” he laughed out, pulling his hand away.

“Excuse me, but are you Haru?” A girl huffed out as she approached him.

“Yes I am.” He responded looking up to see the girl out of breath. “Are you Jiyun?”

She nodded her head. He scouched over so she could sit on the bench with him. “Are you alright?” He asked as she slumped against the bench.

He took the chance to take in what she looked like. She had rich dark brown hair that came down to her shoulders, and the layers from her wolf cut framed her face really well, and the  bleach on the ends of all her layers made her hair stand out more, even some of her bangs. She was wearing sweats and a black hoodie.

“Yes, yes… just tired. I ran here, so just, give me a minute.” she said through a sigh. Once Nemo saw her he started trying to get out of Haru’s grip. Haru let Nemo crawl out of his arms towards her.

“Thank you, for waiting for me to get here, and for finding him for me.” She looked him in the eyes as she spoke to him. “Is there a way I can pay you back?.” She added after finally catching her breath.

He hummed. “It wasn’t a problem really. And you don’t need to pay me back in any way, so please don’t stress." He tried to push it off, not wanting her to have to feel like she has to pay him back. 

“Please just let me do something, even if it's as simple as getting coffee. I most likely wouldn’t have known Nemo had gotten out until tomorrow if it wasn’t for you… so please.” There was a notch in her voice as she whispered the last words.

“I… I don't really get many day-offs for my work, but I might have one not this sunday but the one after that. I’ll text you if I for sure have that day off,” He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck.

She waited for him to say what he'd chosen.

“Coffee then.” he gave her his answer. 

“So…” he changed the subject. “Do you know how Nemo got out?” He asked looking back up at her. She shook her head “No… I mean it’s pretty normal during the night for him to go in a separate room from me at night. And since I was studying, I just didn’t notice he’d got out.”

He hummed “Well I'm just glad I found him. But huh… I think I need to get going, my work starts early tomorrow.” he said while getting up. She followed standing up just about to leave.

“Thank you. I'll talk to you later.” She waved as she was walking away.

“Yeah see you later.” he waved back, walking in the opposite direction.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I'm back!” He yelled out as he entered the dorm. While he was slipping his shoes off Tomoya appeared in the hallway to seemingly interrogate Haru. 

“Why’d it take you so long to get back?” 

“Huh, oh, I had found someone's lost kitten, so they had to come get him from the park.”

“Alright I guess that explains it. Anyway, try not to make too much noise, most of the others are already asleep.” yawning and moving towards his room. He was so ready to take a shower and fall asleep. He sat his glasses and headphones on his night stand.

After he came out of the shower he did his skin care. And dried his hair with his towel. It just ended up taking longer since he couldn’t use the hairdryer.

Once he was back in his room he grabbed one of his books to try and improve his Korean. He did that for twenty minutes before deciding to go to bed.

She had just gotten back home and the first thing she did was try and figure out how Nemo had gotten out. After looking around for a bit she noticed that the sliding door to the balcony was open just enough for him to escape. 

She was so upset with herself, she'd left the door open to let fresh air in while she studied, she thought the gape was small enough that he couldn’t get out.

She immediately closed the door not wanting to forget later and have Nemo escape again. After she closed it, she let Nemo jump out of her arms. 

Sitting down on the flour in front of the coffee table, ready to resume her studying. She put her hair in a bun again. Checking her phone before she started, it was 10:39 so she should probably stop in like an hour or so, but she'd be lucky if she notices before it gets too late.

She jolted up, as the light poured into the room, she’d fallen asleep while studying last night. She was laying on the flour on her side in front of the coffee table. Sighing, she felt so groggy, and she could feel a headache growing as she sat up. She really needs to stop falling asleep while trying to study.

She checked to make sure everything she'd done on her laptop last night was saved before she closed it. She organized her papers a little, to make it easier for her to resume her studies later. She forced herself to go take a shower in hopes of it waking her up. After her shower she brushed her teeth, and dried her hair.

She moved to her closet, picking out her clothes, some wide lagged jeans, a plain black shirt and a light purple zip up sweatshirt. Moving back to the living room to finish cleaning up the coffee table. 

Cleaning up empty glasses from last night that used to have coffee in them, and putting her notes away.

After everything was cleaned up she plopped down on the couch, she knew she should probably do research for the paper she was supposed to be writing, but her headache had grown and she still had a lot of fatigue from last night. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next two weeks had flown by in a flash of studying, quizzes, work, she hasn’t had time to be around people outside of classes, and hardly any sleep. On top of that Haru still hadn't texted her back to say if he was free or not, and at this point she doubted he’d ever text her back at this point. He had probably just told her that he wanted coffee then planned to not go from the beginning.

She had just finished her classes for today. And it was friday so she didn’t have classes tomorrow. She really needed a nap but it was too late in the afternoon for a nap and too early in the evening to go to bed. The only good thing that came out of this week was that her classes had finally claimed down a little more. 

She opened her door to be greeted by Nemo running around the room with one of his toys, and of course his screams. She hung her keys up and slipped out of her shoes. She opened her cabinet to hopefully get started on an early dinner.

She just grabbed her last ramen to eat. She filled her kettle with water, then put it on the stove to boil.

She heard the bell from Nemo's collar get louder as he came trotting up to her. He gave a loud whine at her and tried biting her leg. “Hey stop that. I'll feed you in a minute!” She giggled out.

She opened the ramen and took out the seasoning and veggie packs. “Alright,” she started, as she dusted her hands off. “I’ll feed you now.” she said while walking over to his bowl trying to to step on him as he ran through her legs.

She put the bowl on her island, and grabbed the wet food out of the fridge, and some dry food out of the cabinet next to the fridge. As she brought them back to the island Nemo was on the counter, sniffing his bowl, looking for the food that wasn’t there yet.

She had to use one arm to block Nemo as she put the dry and wet food in his bowl. She successfully finished putting the food in the bowl without Nemo getting it to it, she moved to the end of the counter to set the food down on the ground.

The kettle had started to whistle letting her know the water was ready. She moved to the stove, turning the heat off and pouring it into the ramen. She grabbed a plate to put over top the peel so it would stay closed to steep properly. She looked at the time 4:43, she made a mentally note that the food would be done at 4:48. She sat down at the dining table while she waited.

She opened her phone to look at her schedule, but a text appeared at the top of her screen, from Haru. she quickly opened the text from him.

Haru: Hey, sorry i didn’t say anything for so long 

But i am actually free this sunday

Is there a cafe you had in mind?

Jiyun: hii, don’t worry about it

I mean its your choice 

So it doesn’t really matter to me

Haru: I don't particularly care where it is

I just don’t normally have time to be picky wi

th what i can have 

Most of the time it's just whatever's closest

Jiyun: well there’s this one right by gyeongui-line park

If you’d want to go there

Haru: yeah, sure that works for me

What time do you wanna go

Jiyun: 9:30, 10:00 works for me

Haru: how about 9:30 then

Jiyun: alright see you sunday

Haru: see you sunday

A small smile formed as she set down her phone. She heard Nemo hitting something. She turned her head toward the kitchen, seeing Nemo hitting her ramen. She quickly moved toward the kitchen and scooped up Nemo to prevent him from knocking her food off the counter.

She sat him down on the ground. She tucked her hair behind her ear as she stood up. She took the plate off the ramen. She drained most of the water out of the ramen. She opened the seasoning to pour it in, and dumped the veggies in. she peeled the rest of the top off of it, and stride the whole thing.

After she'd finished eating she cleaned everything up and looked at the stove to check the time 5:30. She decided now was a perfect time to start getting ready for bed. She took a shower got dressed in her pajamas, brushed her teeth did her skin care, and put her dirty clothes in her basket.

She checked her phone to see if she had any texts or emails that needed her attention. She had a text from her best friend who invited her to hang out tomorrow. She quickly sent a text back saying she would come over to her place. Before finally placing her phone on the charger, then setting it down on her night stand.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She slowly opened her eyes. It was already Sunday morning. She hadn't done much of anything the previous day, just hung out with her best friend and did some much needed tidying of her apartment. 

She reluctantly moved to the bathroom to get ready. She splashed cold water on her face, brushed her teeth, and got dressed. She wore black baggy jeans, a graphic tee and her purple zip up sweatshirt. 

Before she left her apartment she fed Nemo. she grabbed her tote bag put her sunglasses on and made her way out the door to meet with Haru.

Tomoya jolted awake as he was being shaken. “Good, you're finally awake. I need to talk to you.”

“Wh-what, Yn wait why are you here?” He was so confused he doesn't know why Yn’s here, or where he is cause this isn't the dorms.

“Well this is my home, Soo. Anyway, I'll talk to you over breakfast.” She replied like it was obvious.

That made him more confused. “Wait, wait, why am I here? How'd I get here?” 

“I said I'd talk to you over breakfast.” She was firm on that as she left the room. He scrambled to follow her.

He could tell she was upset with him on something but he doesn't know what. He followed her to the dining room, on it was a plate of eggs and bacon.

“I already served you.” She pointed to his plate as she moved to sit down. He followed in suit, sitting in front of the breakfast she made for him.

“Alright Tomo, how much have you been resting?” She didn't feel like doing a little dance trying to ask him. He paused, not expecting her to immediately ask.

“You know I've been getting mo-” 

“Tomoya.” She cut him off not wanting to hear some excuse. “Do you know why you're here?” His experience shifted to a guilty one.

He shook his head. “Because you haven't been getting enough rest, so you fall asleep at practice.” 

“I did?” He asked with shock in his voice. 

“Yeah. And your members didn't want to wake you up cause you haven't been getting enough rest.” 

“It's just… just soo hard sometimes, being the leader having all the responsibility put on you, it just got so easy to overwork myself.” She could hear the hurt in his voice.

She moved to hug him. “Hey, you're fine, I get it, it feels like you don't have anyone to rely on cause you're the leader, and don't want to put that on anyone else.” She comforted him, rubbing his back.

He was trembling a little. “ It just got harder since our comeback is coming up so the stress caught up to me.” 

“Shh… it's alright, you've gotten through some hard comebacks already, I know you can handle this one.” She didn't stop rubbing his back.

He finally hugged her back, not wanting to let go.

It had already been an extremely long and tiring day of promotions, vocal lessons composing and now dance practice.

They had just taken a break after 30 minutes of hard dancing.

As they were taking a water break tomoya laid on the ground trying to catch his breath, his eyes closed tight, the lights in the room felt too bright and he just needed a little break from them.

Haru was sitting next to him on the ground, with Yu not too far away.

Haru was joking around with Yu, they had all finally settled down when they were about to start practice again, they heard light snoring.

Haru and Yu paused, the entire room stayed silent as everyone's gaze was now on the sleeping Tomoya.

None of them dared to speak but their gazes all shifted to Yu.

“Why are all of you looking at me?” Yu asked.

“Because you're the oldest.” Yuki answered.

Yu sighed, he doesn't really want to wake Tomoya up because he hasn't been getting much rest. “Will all of you stop looking at me!” He silently yells at them.

He puts his head in his hands as he tries to figure out what to do with tomoya.

“Can't we call Yn to pick him up.” Geon suddenly spoke. Yu’s head shot up to look at Geon.

“Yeah… yeah we can. Does anyone have her number.”

“I do.” Yuki said as he started to go through his bag to get his phone. He quickly called Yn, anxiously hoping Yn would pick up.

Yn had just settled in bed, it was 9:37 the week was finally over and she couldn't wait to sleep in late. As sleep started to take over, her phone rang and jolted her out of sleep.

She groaned. She grabbed her phone from her bedside table. She was surprised to see Yuki's caller id.

“Hello, what do you need yuki?” She asked while sitting up.

“Hey… um… so I know this is probably gonna sound bad, but can you come pick up Tomoya hyung?”

“What happened… Yuki?” She asked if it didn't matter if he told her not to worry because it still spiked her heart rate.

Yuki still seemed pretty nervous as he told her how Tomoya had fallen asleep during practice due to a lack of rest.

She sighed, even though she's told him to take all the rest he can get he still doesn't listen. “Alright, I'm assuming you want me to pick him up?”

“If you don't mind.” It was obvious Yuki was nervous about asking this of her, but she didn't mind.

“ Course not. I'll be over in fifteen minutes.”

As she was pulling up to the company she saw Yuki and Yu already outside, and Tomoya on Yu's back.

She pulled up in front of them. She reached over to open the passenger door for Yu to set Tomoya down.

“Thank you.” Yuki whispered as Yu set Tomoya down in the seat. And it was obvious Tomoya was out of it, there wasn't even a sign of him waking up.

“How do you plan to get him inside your apartment?” Yu asked after buckling Tomoya in.

She sighed. “Uh, I don't exactly know how but it won't be too hard, I go to the gym enough to be able to get him inside. But I'll be alright.”

“Are you sure? Cause we ca-” Yu started to say.

“Nope,” She cut him off. “I'll be just fine. Now go back to practice, I can handle him from here.”

Yu nodded, shutting the door. They both waved while they made their way back inside the building.

She waved back at them as she was pulling away from the company. During the drive back to her place Tomoya ended up leaning on the center console.

She was finally pulling into her parking garage. After she turned off her car she was now tasked with figuring out how she was supposed to get Tomoya into her apartment.

She made her way around the car to his side. She sighed as she opened his door. Reaching over she unbuckled him and moved him closer to the outside of the seat.

“Hey, Yn,” she turned around to see her next door neighbor waving at her. “Hey, how are you doing?” She asked, waving back at him.

“I'm doing pretty well, though it seems you could be doing better,” he said, gesturing at Tomoya's sleeping figure. “Did he pass out from drinking too much?”

“No, no. He had fallen asleep after an extremely tiring day and I was tasked with taking care of him.” She replied with a small chuckle.

“How are you getting him inside?”

She sighed, “Well that's what I'm trying to figure out right now.”

“I can carry him if you want? I wouldn't want either of you getting hurt.” He offered.

She normally would have declined but she really didn't want to carry Tomoya. “Uh, sure, if you don't mind.”

“Nah, it's no biggie.” He said as he walked over to them. Once he had Tomoya in his arms she locked the car. They made their way to the elevator.

“Thank you so much again. And I'll give you something tomorrow to make up for it.” You felt kinda embarrassed getting with Tomoya, but you were Soo tired you'd probably end up tripping.

The elevator made a noise, telling them they made it to their floor. “No no, you're fine. I didn't get to go to the gym today anyway so this worked out pretty well.”

She didn't push it because she didn't care what he said she was going to pay him back with either dinner or a dessert.

She unlocked her door to let him in. “Here, put him in my guest bedroom.” She led them to her guest bedroom, opening the door for him.

After setting him down on the bed her neighbor left the room. “Alright you're alright now. And I'm being serious, you don't need to pay me back.” He said as he made his way to the front door.

“Well that's too bad for you, cause you can't stop me.” She said as she walked him out the door.

“Hey I'm being-” She closed her door before he could argue more, she could hear him laugh at that before she heard him leaving.

She walked back to the guest room. She took off Tomoya's shoes and pulled the covers over him.

His complaints started a week or two ago, that his bangs were getting longer and started getting in his eyes.

And that the hair at the nape of his neck was bugging him.

She had offered to cut it for him but he just pushed it off saying “it's really not that bad.”

And she noticed how he started having to tuck the he started getting longer pieces of hair at his ears to the point he kinda started tucking them behind his ears.

And she didn't bring it up, until now. She was watching the newest Real Nexz episodes, and he kept shaking his head to move it out of his face.

She could tell it bothered him, but she just didn't get why he didn't come to her, she’s a hair dresser for crying out loud.

So after she finished watching the episode she decided that when he got home she was going to sit him down and give him a haircut.

She moved to her bathroom making sure she had all the supplies she needed. 

After she confirmed she had everything she needed, she texted Yu asking him to come over after his schedule was done for the day, with the promise of a hot meal, she wanted to make sure he came over.

She got to cooking right away, she wanted to make sure the food was done on time.

As she was finishing up, she heard the door open. “Hey, I'm here,” He announced his arrival, 

“ I'm in the kitchen,” she heard as he entered the kitchen greeting her with a hug.

“How was your day?” She questioned as she leaned back into his embrace.

“Good, just tiring. What are you making?” he asked resting his head on top of hers

“Fried fish, with sauteed tomatoes and some rice. Now go wash up, the food will be done in about five to ten minutes, so you'll have enough time to shower.”

“But it smells so good.” There was a subtle pout in the way he spoke “ Yu now, please.” 

“Alright, alright.” He said as he broke the embrace and walked towards her room where he kept some spare clothes in case he ever spent the night unexpectedly.

After about 5 minutes Yu came out of her room, hair still slightly wet. “um, Y/N, why are a bunch of you hair tolls all over your bathroom counter?”

“No reason, now go sit down and eat, I need to use the restroom. I'll be back.” she said after placing a plate with food on it for him on the counter.

After a minute or two she came back with a spray bottle, scissors, a razor and comb in hand. Yu looked up to see all the things she was holding and knew what she wanted to do immediately.

“Really, now.” He complained already knowing he wouldn't be able to convince her other wise 

“Yes, you don't really give me much of a choice, so I'm doing it now. I won't cut your bangs till after you're finished eating.”

He nodded, already accepting it. “Try not to move too much.” She moved behind him grabbing a chair to set everything down.

She didn't need to wet his hair right now seeing as his hair is still wet from the shower. She picked up the razor and started slowly shaving the hair at the nape of his neck.

Once it was shaved down to a length she liked she did the little part by his ears, moving around him to have a good angle. Then she blended it down so it looked more natural.

“Are you almost done with your food?” 

“Almost.” Yu answered. She hummed in response.

She grabbed the broom to clean up the hair she’s already taken off as she waits to start on his bangs.

“Alright, you can start now.” He pushed his chair back so she could have room to stand in front of him.

She moved in front of him pulling the chair that has her supplies closer. She grabbed the spray bottle, spraying his bang and a little bit of the hair on the side of his head then got started.

She didn't need to cut a lot off just enough so that it would stay out of his eyes for a while; she even trimmed some of the hair on the back and side of his head.

She combed his hair a little, making sure everything was even.

“Alright, we're done.” She announced as she moved to pick up her supplies to put back in her bathroom.

“You can check in the mirror by the front door if you want.” She yelled back as she entered her room.

Yu went over to the mirror, leaning on close to get a good look.

She came back to the kitchen to clean up the rest of the hair.
