■Y/N POV■

These months I've been spending my days with Shirabu san. Ever since the accident in the balcony, and ever since he helped me that day I, I realized that Shirabu san is really amazing.

But now that I'm healed, are we going to stop doing all of those things together? I like spending time with Shirabu san. Thinking about we might meet less, makes me...

Y/N: it's gonna be lonely....

Today is the weekend so I don't have work, but Shirabu san is. Last night he accompanied me to check on my foot, he helped me a lot.

Maybe, next Monday it wouldn't be the same anymore. Now that I'm healed, he has no reason to keep on watching over me. If yesterday is our last day to spend the day together like that, I want to make sure today I repay all of his kindness.

Y/N: I... want to eat dinner with him again... at least one more time.

I got up from my bed and wash up. I go out of my room and decided to look for something for Shirabu san as a gift. And I want to cook something good as well.

I stroll around the plaza, trying to find something that might suit Shirabu san or something that might be useful for him. Then after a while, something caught my eyes.

It's a nice metal tie clip with a letter engraved on it. It seems like they could make a custom of names or initials engraved on it. I approach the seller and ask for the price, it wasn't too expensive too. I decided to buy a tie and  a tie clip for him

Seller : what would you like it to be engraved with?

Y/N: could you engrave the letter S.K?

The seller nodded and started to work on it, and I decided to pick a tie that suits Shirabu san. Well, I think he'll look good with everything because he's so handsome. I chose a (tie color/ models) tie and asked the seller to pack it with the clips.

I look at the box in my hand, and couldn't help to feel nervous.

Y/N: I hope he will like this...

After that, I went to buy food ingredients. I remember that Shirabu san said he likes shirasu, so I decided to make something with shirasu in it. I also decided to make puddings for dessert, a mango pudding.

When I'm home, I head to the kitchen and start preparing the ingredients on the counter. Then I take my phone and text Shirabu san.

From : L/N Y/N
Good afternoon Shirabu san, what time do you get home today? Is it alright for me to invite you to dinner at my place today? ( ˘•ω•˘ )

I send it and put my phone on the counter, and I start preparing to make the pudding first. Well if he declined, I could still pack the food and give it to him.

*Ting

A message came when I'm about to open the pudding powder pack. I check it out and couldn't help to feel happy. and nervous.

From : Shirabu Kenjiro san
Yes, I will come.

I clutch my phone on my chest, feeling my body's warm just from reading his message. I knew, the reason I want to give something to Shirabu san, the reason I wish to have this dinner with him. The reason why the thought of us stop seeing each other like this makes me feel lonely, was all because

Y/N: I have fallen in love with Shirabu san...

■Shirabu's POV■

I've just replied to L/N's message and put my phone back in my pocket. She invited me to another dinner, which is weird because we've been eating together this whole month.

After work, we tend to buy food on our way back and ate it at her place. During the weekend, she cooked dinner and when I got home from work she told me to come and eat with her.

All this time I used her injured foot as a reason to come and check on her. But she's healed now and I don't know what should I say when I want to see her.

Having her around me, eating with me and cooking for me, it felt right. Today might be the last time we will meet like this. I no longer have a reason to give her a ride or pick her up from work.

Shirabu: I wish this could last...

After my shift is done, I head back home right away. I ring the bell to L/N's place and in a minute the door is open.

Y/N: Shirabu san, welcome!

She smiled at me with her usual sweet smile and thought just crossed my mind.

"It'll be nice if she said welcome home to me"

After realizing what I've been thinking about, I shook my head and walk inside her house. This damn mind of mine, maybe I was tired. But really, the thought of her greeting me when I'm back is not bad at all.

L/N leads me to the dining table and the sight surprises me. There're many types of food on the table and even a dessert.

Shirabu: are you celebrating something? You made a lot of food.

I look at each food and then something caught my attention. All of these food has shirasu in it, like the hiyayako (cold tofu) it has shirasu on it.

Y/N: Shirabu san....

I look at L/N, she's holding a box with both hands in front of me. I take it from her hands and open it. Inside are a (color) necktie and metal clips. I look at the metal clips and it has my initials on it.

Shirabu: what.. are these for?

Y/N look right into my eyes and damn did I enchanted by those big eyes.

Y/N: I... Thankyou Shirabu san! You have been helping me a lot... I really appreciate it and I hope you like the gift I gave to you.

She then looks away and her fingers are intertwined in front of her stomach.

Y/N: I'm so happy to spent time with you these days... but... now that I'm healed, you can stop looking after me....

So that's it huh like I thought we might not gonna see each other as frequently. I look at her face but she looks... sad? Her face suddenly flushed. something is building up in me, seeing her looking like that. Are we gonna be neighbors....as in, just neighbors?

Y/N: but... I will definitely get lonely if we didn't meet that often anymore... because, I... like being around Shirabu san. It'll be nice if we could stay like this but I can't be selfish... at least I hope we will still greet each other when we me-

I don't know what's going on, seeing her like that saying all those things. My body moved on its own and I couldn't help it. I kiss my neighbor, who I don't want to be just my neighbor.

■3rd Person POV■

Y/N was stunned, she didn't know what is happening for a split second. Shirabu's hands are on her cheeks and his lips are pressed to hers. Y/N didn't know what to do so she just stays still, but her face turns bright red. After a while, Shirabu abruptly pulled back. He placed his hands on her shoulder and look down at her eyes. Y/N return his gaze timidly, her heart is beating like crazy.

Shirabu: I'm so sorry, I couldn't help myself... the moment I heard you said you like being around me, I just..... I want us to stay like this.

Y/N eyes are widened, she's wishing to hear what Shirabu's going to say after this.

Shirabu: I want us to stay like this so I'll make a reason for us to.... L/N... be my girlfriend...

Y/N took Shirabu's hands off of her shoulder, which makes Shirabu flinched. He thought Y/N doesn't like him putting his hands on her like that, but he's wrong. Y/N brought Shirabu's hand closer to her face and look at Shirabu.

Y/N: I'd love that.... I like you Shirabu san and I... Want to keep seeing you like this

Shirabu pulls Y/N to him and wrapped his arms around her body. Y/N returns the hugs by placing her hands on Shirabu's back. Y/N could feel that her heart was about to leap out of her chest. On the other side, Shirabu too couldn't stop his heart from pounding so loudly. This whole month these two had been by each other side, and they like each other company from the bottom of their heart.

Shirabu: I like you too.... L/N.

These two are finally together, as they look at each other eyes and share another sweet kiss. It's started from what they thought was an accident on the balcony, turns out to be a fated meeting that leads these two to each other.

Shirabu: Y/N...

Y/N almost choked on her food when Shirabu called her by her name.

Shirabu : I want to call you Y/N, and you should call me Kenjiro

Y/N couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Hearing her name came out of his mouth sounds really right. She then opens her mouth.

Y/N: Kenjiro san...

Now both of them are red, but when they look at each other, they started to giggle. The night was spent with a warm feeling and sweet laughter. And tomorrow, the day after and the day after too they will spend it together like this.
