A little short story to the ongoing one I have because all my progress got stumped when I accidentally wrote it out on my other account so I have to rewrite it😓
Enjoy!!!
It's currently pouring outside. You're staring out the window quietly, trying to figure out what to occupy yourself with for the day before you hear the front door to the living room open.
"Oh, hey Sae!" you say with a small smile, watching him walk into the shared apartment holding a bag of food from the grocery store down the street. You get up to quickly grab it from him so he can dry himself from the lack of umbrella.
"Hey," he says, dull expression staying the same.
"Are you making dinner tonight or is it my turn?" you ask, setting the bag on the counter. Both you and Sae started spitting the meal cooking to yourselfs after quickly finding out, shidou would burn the whole house down if he tried.
"It's my turn tonight," he says, walking to his room to dry off.
You're grabbing the ingredients out of the bag before shoving it into the little bag that holds the other bags and putting the ingredients away for later that night.
"Why do you even keep those bags? It's not like we don't have the money to get some if needed," he says from behind you, making you jump before replying.
"My dad did it, plus why not save money? Who knows when we'll need them," you giggle at the inquiry like you haven't already explained it twice to him. "Plus, if it really bothers you, I'm surprised you haven't thrown them out." You look back at him, shrugging.
Ping!
You grab your phone at the notification, quickly opening it. "Ryu says he'll be home soon." Not exactly what he said, but the gist of it.
"Tell him I said just don't come back," Sae says. You stick your tongue out at him before setting the phone down and sitting back on the couch, holding the mail Sae had put in the grocery bag to keep it from getting soaked in the rain.
Looking through the mail, a letter with your name neatly written on it catches your eyes. Setting the rest down, you stare at it—your mother's name. How did she even find your address?
Setting the letter down and sighing, you glare at it as if it would disappear if you glared hard enough.
"What's that?" Sae asks with slight curiosity in his voice, before slowly looking at the door clicking open.
"I'm home!" You hear Shidou shout, dragging out the end of "home" with a playful voice. You're still dead-staring at the letter.
"Hey Ryu," you say, in a whole other dimension, staring at that damned letter. After a moment, Shidou swings himself onto your back, hanging off the couch. You look back at Sae—he has his head propped up with his hand looking at you before picking up the letter.
"Ooo~ what's that?" Shidou says in the same playful tone, snatching it from the redhead, causing Sae to look at him and sneer.
"It's a letter from her mom," Sae says, causing Shidou to grimace before ripping it open, already knowing what transpired between the two of you.
You watch him skim through it before handing it to Sae with the same grimace, then watching Sae read it with a bored expression before ripping it up.
"It's not important enough for your attention," he says, getting up and kissing your forehead before disappearing into the room, not giving you a chance to protest.
"I'm heading out," Shidou says plainly with a tick mark on his forehead, but not before also giving you a kiss on the head and ruffling your hair.
'Didn't even give me a chance to respond to any of it,' you pout, being left alone on the couch.
It's already an hour later, and you've preoccupied yourself watching TV and scrolling through Instagram.
Sae walks into the room with a smug smile on his face, holding his phone up to his ear and grabbing his keys. "Come, (name), we are heading out," he says, slipping on his shoes.
"Where are we going?" you look at him, brow raised, wary of his smug look.
"Bailing that devil out of jail," he says, wiping his face of the smirk he'd previously held, jiggling the keys in his hand while holding the front door open for you as you slip your shoes on.
It's not part two but a little peak into the future of the story🤭
Also I kinda skimmed through it so I might have some mistakes!!!
