Miyazaki quickly locked the door of the café before leaving with Ash. Ash turned towards him "are you fine with taking the bus to my apartment? I didn't bring my car today," Miyazaki nodded "yeah that's fine with me."
As they walked side-by-side Ash tried to keep up with Miyazaki's strides which were much longer than hers. Ash lost balance a couple of times causing their hands to slightly touch more than once. Both of their cheeks faded into a reddish color each time they touched, but only Ash noticed that his cheeks reddened. While walking Ash stuck her pinky finger out and looked at it for a couple of seconds before deciding to grab Miyazaki's pinky finger with hers. "It's a bit chilly huh" she whispered to him with a cute smile on her face.
He covered his blush with his free hand, "yeah it is. Oh! Do you want to borrow my jacket?" Ash laughed "no it's okay, your hand is already warmer me up." She lifted up his hand from his pinky finger. Miyazaki quickly let go of her pinky finger and grabbed her whole hand instead, and intertwined his hand with hers.
"Would it be okay if I held your hand like this instead?" She looked at him with rosy cheeks, that got redder every minute because of the chilly weather. She nodded and responded with a simple answer "uh-huh." As they walked hand-in-hand other people walked past them probably thinking that they were a couple. Ash swung Miyazaki's arm cutely, which made Miyazaki chuckle a bit. Ash turned to him "what's so funny?" He blushed as he answered her question "you are just so cute." Ash giggled "I know!"
They went silent again, which made Miyazaki a bit uncomfortable so he broke the silence "hey, Ash?" She looked at him "hey Miya," he laughed a little "can I ask you something?" While she looked at the scenery around them she quickly responded "yup."
He squeezed her hand and finally asked the question "what's your type?" Ash stopped walking causing Miyazaki to stop too "my type?" He nodded. He could feel his hand starting to get sweaty, "nevermind that was-" she interrupted him and started walking again "We've known each other for, I dunno, six years and you still don't know," she said jokingly. After laughing at her joke she noticed that Miyazaki was serious about the question he had asked so she answered it truthfully "tall, any nationality but I like Asians especially though, he has to be sweet, oh and funny!" He listened to every word that came out of her mouth "and you wanna know what I find really attractive?" He nodded and then Ash happily said "guys in skirts or dresses! It's so attractive" he laughed and quickly stated under his breath "skirts are fun to wear." She looked at him wide-eyed "you wear skirts?" Miyazaki had hoped she didn't hear that, but she did so he nodded at her which made Ash very happy "you know that makes you like ten times more attractive, just so you know." He laughed.
Ash thought about his question a little longer "oh you who is my ideal type?" He shook his head "who?" She laughed "you are," his eyes widened "me?" But she didn't answer his question, so he asked again but Ash didn't answer. Miyazaki sighed knowing that she wouldn't answer and just kept walking with her.
"Look there's the bus stop! Come on, let's get back to my apartment, I'm tired." She pulled on his arm.
The two of them sat on the bench for a couple of minutes before the bus finally arrived. But while they sat next to each other Ash hugged his arm and placed her head on his shoulder, which made them look more like a couple.
It only took a couple of minutes to get to her apartment. The driver, who was a woman, dropped them off right in front of her apartment. "Thanks, Miss. Clare!" Ash said before getting off the bus. Miss. Clare quickly said "have a nice night, Ashlyn," before closing the bus doors.
Ash excitedly turned towards Miyazaki and said "movie time!" The building was a small two-story building with three separate apartments in the building, two on the first floor and of course one on the second floor. "My place is on the second floor by the way," she said as she passed him the keys to her place. He caught them with one hand, and then looked at Ash confused "why are you giving me the keys though?" She smiled "I'm gonna get my mail real quick, so just head inside and I'll meet you in there, okay?"
Miyazaki smiled "okay, see you in there then," Miyazaki walked into the building through two sliding doors that squeaked a little. When inside the building he noticed a stairway leading up to the second floor. The stairs were carpeted were grayish color mixed with dirt from people's shoes, causing the carpet to be a beige color.
Miyazaki could see Ash's door at the top of the stairs. After going up the stairs, he only had to walk a couple extra steps to get to her door. When he got to her door, he put the key into the keyhole and turned it. The door opened to a warm and cozy apartment. Monotone colors mostly with small spots of color here and there. He looked around and noticed all of the red-accented decors. Her apartment was much warmer than the hallway, which made her apartment even cozier.
"Sorry about the mess," Ash said as she took her shoes off. Miyazaki turned towards her and laughed "what mess?"
Ash walked over to Miyazaki and took his jacket off for him and hung it up near the door. "Just sit on the couch, I'll get some popcorn, and do you want a soda or beer maybe?" He sat down "um a soda please." She smiled "coming right up!"
A couple of minutes went by before she came over to the couch with the popcorn and the soda for the two of them "I hope you're okay with sharing the popcorn," she giggled and sat closely next to him. Miyazaki handed her the remote to the TV and then grabbed his soda.
"So, when I was scrolling on Netflix I saw this movie, I'm pretty sure I added it to my list..." she concentrated on finding the movie, "ah, here it is." She clicked on the movie and then pressed play soon after. Miyazaki looked at her with a little pout "I wanted to see what the movie was about," Ash placed her head on his shoulder "your watching the movie aren't you? So you'll find out what it is about soon enough."
As the movie played the two of them ate all of the popcorn halfway through the movie so Ash just placed the bowl on the ground. Ash was a bit uncomfortable with the way she was sitting so she laid down on her stomach somehow without noticing that she was on top of Miyazaki while they watched the movie. Miyazaki didn't think much of it either because he was so invested in the movie. She rested her head on his chest, one of Miyazaki's hands was on Ash's back the other under his head.
"What? They should've kissed! That was his only chance to win his boyfriend back," Miyazaki exclaimed. "I know right! He was so dumb to not get Jared back, I mean they are literally laying on each other but he pushed him away? Like who does that? Like if that happened to me, I would've kissed him," Miyazaki looked at her and finally noticed the position that the two of them were in. Maybe this was his chance.
"You would kiss the person?" Ash nodded "so, does that mean you would kiss me?" Ash turned to him and placed her lips on his "yup" and then turned back towards the movie. But, Miyazaki didn't want just a small kiss so, he moved his hand that was on her back to turn Ash's face towards him. He leaned up towards her and kissed her again. Ash blushed, and began to repeatedly kiss his lips. He sat up while holding her torso while Ash straddled his body. Her hands held his face while they kissed. Ash left his lips.
She sat down on her butt, "wait did we just," Miyazaki turned away from her "yeah I think we did," they sat there. Ash turned Miyazaki's face towards her "I liked it," Miyazaki chuckled "I like you."
Ash blushed "I know."
