Close to You || Chifuyu Matsuno

Chapter 6

When Amaya let go of you, you walked through your door, making your way to your room.

"You can come in..." you said over your shoulder quickly, then you stopped and turned around, looking at Chifuyu briefly then to the floor. "I mean... if you want..." you added then rushed to your room, closing the door behind you.

Amaya hurried in your apartment, ready to discover it, and Chifuyu followed her with a smile. He loved when you were nervous, he thought it was cute as hell. And your behavior was in deep contrast with the way Nina acted, which was starting to get more annoying to him as the days passed.

Chifuyu's eyes widened as he looked around in your apartment when he saw the dozens of drawings in your flat. There were a few big ones on your wall, about sceneries, famous people or characters, hanging in simple frames. They were colored, unlike that drawing of the cat and flowers in your sketchbook, which was black and white.

Chifuyu walked closer to the wall, and he saw from the corner of his eye that Amaya did the same. While his eyes scanned amazed all of your drawings, he noticed that at the corner of every drawing were your signature and the month and the year when they were made. He looked at the shelf next to him and saw a folder, which had a few drawings poking out of it.

He looked behind him towards your door, and when he saw that it was still closed, he bit his lower lip and grabbed the folder, opening it. While he looked through it, he felt as a smile appeared on his face. As he turned paper after paper, he noticed that it had a lot more black and white drawings in it than colored ones. He checked the dates and noticed that in the past year you only draw black and white ones.

He furrowed his brows, trying to figure out why, but then he heard as you opened the door, so he quickly shut the folder and put it back on the shelf.

When he turned around, he noticed that you changed your black loose sweater to a black turtleneck, with a necklace and it still looked comfortable. You had on simple blue jeans with a leather belt and black boots, and a plaid blazer.

Your hair was up in a high ponytail, and he let out a long sigh, that he can now see your pretty face more clearly. Up until now he always saw you with your hair down and you always hid your face behind your locks when you felt insecure.

He smiled when he saw that you put your glasses in your pocket, and you nervously fidgeted with your broken watch on your wrist, while you were looking down at the floor with sligthly furrowed brows.

"I should bring something to her, it would be impolite..."

"What? No, you don't have to bring anything!" Chifuyu cut you off quickly. "She doesn't like to make a big fuss out of it, really. We just go over, and have a nice dinner." he told you with a smile.

You sighed, then looked towards the kitchen, and your eyes widened when you remembered you baked some scones yesterday evening. You quickly walked into the kitchen and started to put them in a bowl.

Chifuyu saw what you were doing and he chuckled.

"Y/N, you really don't have to..."

"I'm not gonna go there empty handed!" you cut him off, without looking up at him.

Amaya wandered to the kitchen too, and when she saw what you were doing, her eyes widened.

"What are those?" she asked, hurrying next to you.

You smiled shyly at her and held out one for her.

"Cheese and bacon scones."

She took it from you and took a bite. Her face lit up and she looked at Chifuyu with sparkling eyes.
