it was nearly 3am when dagger was editing her video. and that was also when she heard a knock on her door.

she saved her work and slowly stood up. maybe she misheard things?

minerva stood in place, waiting for something to happen.

and that's when she heard knocking. again.

she walked up to the door and took a glance through the viewfinder. she saw ajax nervously scratching his neck.

"hi" she whispered when she opened the door and shyly smiled. her cheeks grew red when she realised she's wearing her dirty hoodie but he didn't seem to care.

good night? i was going to a store and to be pretty much honest i'm aware you're not sleeping so i thought maybe you'd like to go with me?

"wha– you're aware i'm not sleeping? how'd you deducte that, sherlock?" she chuckled quietly, crossing her arms.

he typed something and watched her rosy cheeks covered in few moles as she read his message

you keep on dropping things and walls (and floors) are preeetty thin here🧍‍♂️

"okay, okay now. let me change" she scoffed and gave him back his phone.

ajax stood there, taking a deep breath. everything he said was true - he heard her being clumsy, he needed to buy some groceries and he thought about her (well, he always does).

it was so natural, you'd say. inviting your friend to go shopping groceries. so why did he feel so... strangely nervous when he knocked on that door? why his stomach felt like a field of butterflies when he saw her and she agreed?

butterflies?

oh fuck.

no, no. he's overthinking things. he just ate something... avocado. that's must be it.

"let's go!"

he snapped back to reality and smiled softly. she closed the door and wanted to go downstairs but he grabbed her arm gently. minerva stiffened and looked around, completely frozen. her heart beat was getting faster each second she looked onto ajax's eyes. why does this situation feel... unpleasantly familiar? why...

he took off the hand and pointed at the door, showing her his keys. he tingled them a bit.

"right" she let out a big sigh of relief, even he noticed that. minerva hit herself on the forehead slightly "the door. of course."

they left the building and marvellous smile has painted on minerva's lips when she saw that snow was falling.

"so, what do you need to buy?" minerva asked and shuffled a bit closer to him. when her green eyes looked up he bit his lip slightly, stopping his grin. "you don't know"
