"Uemura-san?"

How did she find me?

Oh, right, this is a supermarket

"I never thought I'd meet you here.
You work here?" she asks, placing
another item into her basket

He lets out a confirming "Mmhmm" before restocking a section

Ami scooches a bit closer
to him, which he immediately
notices, getting him confused

He turns his head slowly
to look at her, and she
greets him with a smile
before taking another item

They share this comfortable
silence for a while

For a while

It didn't take long
for Hansuke to finish
restocking

"Well, I'll be off for now,
enjoy shopping," he says,
awkwardly, dashing off

After that small talk,
they exchanged smiles and
nods at each other
whenever they met,
sometimes talking but not
for too long

Ami finishes shopping
just as Hansuke finishes
his shift

They both find themselves
in each other's presence
walking home together

How did we end up like this?
