After a very long hard day, Hiro returned to his condo and opened the door. The room was pitch black. Confused he looked down and saw that Haru's shoes were still neatly placed by the side of the door. 'Okay so she's still here' he thought to himself. Without turning on any lights he walked down the hall to the main room only a sliver of moonlight was seeping through the cracks in the curtain. He blindly searched for the light switch and flipped it on. Soon the room was illuminated a "corpse" rose quickly from its laying position and spaced out. From its side profile, you could see it had messy hair and walnut eyes. Quickly catching this glimpse Hiro's heart leaped into his throat choking his air supply and he attempted a scream. "HAIYAH!"
As he screamed the "corpse" turned its head to look at him and his hand stopped right before he could land his chop on its forehead.
With his eyes wide he grasped his heart with his hand that was about to karate chop the living dead. " HARU OH MY GOODNESS YOU GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK WOMAN!"
Groggily Haru started to rub her walnut eyes. "I'm sorry" she said hoarsly.
"Wait Haru have you been crying this whole time?"
"No ... maybe? I took a look around and then self pitied a little and then probably knocked out. Why? What time is it?"
"It's 7:00 pm."
"I SLEPT FOR 12 HRS!!!"
"Yeah.... You want me to take you home now? I can walk you? I dont want you walking alone in the dark."
"I'm really sorry Hiro but I really dont want to go home."
"I wish I could help you but you cant stay here..... I GOT IT I Have a friend she lives one floor above me I'll give her a call."
Hiro calls his friend.
"Hey Riku can I ask you a favor? I have a friend who needs a place to stay for the night."
on the other end a female voice is replying. "you have a friend? thats a first."
"HA HA funny Riku anyway is it okay if she can stay over?"
" I guess it's okay if she's okay with it?"
"yeah she is. Anyway we'll be up in a bit!"
"Alright see you soon Hiro."
"Okay Haru we're set to go lets get going."
Hiro and Haru make their way up to Riku's condo.
*knock *knock
Riku opens the door with a stern face. "hey"
Haru leans towards Hiro and taps his shoulder and whispers. "is she mad? It doesnt look like she wants me here."
"No thats just how she looks. She's really nice" Hiro whispers back.
"you must be Haru? My name is Riku obviously you'll be staying with me tonight. Come in."
Haru leans towards Hiro and whispers "are you sure she's not mad?"
"Yes I'm sure now SHUSH" Hiro whispers back.
Riku turns around " You know you two whisper so loud I can hear everything you two are saying."
Hiro leans into Haru and whispers "she has hears like a bat"
a second later Hiro gets a slap on the back of the head. "Sorry" Hiro apologizes while cowering from her powerful aura.
Haru chuckles at the scene.
"okay well I'm tired and I'm sure Haru is tired too seeing that she has decent sized walnuts on her face. So leave I want to go to sleep."
Upon hearing this Haru cover's her eyes and turns pink.
"Fiiiine I'm going no need to push and shove girlfriend." Hiro says as he is being pushed out of the door by Riku.
"I'll see you tomo-"
Riku shuts the door in his face and quickly turns around with a straight face and her arms crossed "okay spill it."
Haru is caught off guard with this straight forwardness of Riku. "wha what?" Haru stuttered.
"Hiro never picks up strays off the street let alone into his house unless its an animal which he takes to the shelter the next day. In this case I feel like the shelter. Anyway you must've been a special case."
"Oh um... well..."
"OUT WITH IT WOMAN I DONT HAVE ALL YEAR"
Haru jumps at the sudden outburst "oh sorry." She quickly explains the situation to Riku not wanting to annoy her.
"Well he sounds like a real loser. what are you going to do about it?" Riku spoke with a firm tone.
"I'm not sure I don't have a job or anywhere to stay...."
Riku squinted her eyes and stared at Haru intently. "are you implying something?" she asked cautiously.
"OH HEAVENS NO I DIDNT MEAN IT LIKE THAT!" Haru flushed and panicked to explain.
"I know just messing with you" Riku said with a straight face. Haru could not tell if she really was joking or not and began to sweat a little.
"well sounds like you have alot to think about. If you're hungry there's left over pasta in the fridge help yourself I want to get rid of it before it goes bad I dont like wasting food. Besides it's better than eating protein bars." and with that May had a shocked expression on her face. Riku and Hiro must be close for her to know him so well.
