Crawling Back To You || Ran × Haruchiyo

➢ ˗ˏˋ STAY FOR THE NIGHT ࿐

Haruchiyo's POV

I can't believe that it's already around 1 am but he's still here with me

"Thank you" he said to the driver who helped him carry our shopping

He also give him a tip for exchange

My apartment's door is already opened, i just helped him carrying it all the way to the kitchen

he approached the cat as i began opening the shopping bags

he really bought a lot of foods...

"you will organize it now?" i heard him said

"y-yeah... play with him if you want, i can do it alone" i replied without giving him a glance

"i will just play him with him next time. I'll leave now"

As soon as i heard it, there's a part of me that was hurt

I heard his footstep coming towards the door as i felt a sudden hesitation

f*ck, i feel like my legs moved on its own

I ran after him and saw him standing in front of the door

"hm? did you forgot something?" he asked, still wearing that smile of his

my heart began thumping loudly. I can't breathe because I'm so nervous. I want to tell him not to leave. But it seems that something is pulling me back.

"I-It's already late... yet you're still here so thanks" i said as i averts my gaze

I feel my face heat up, i don't know what to do...

"I'll only accept that gratitude if you let me stay"

I immediately looked up to see him. He started coming closer to me as if his smile had changed

"Tch, then stay but don't sleep in my bedroom!" i retorted, leaving him in front of the door

F*ck, my heart is still beating faster

I breathe heavily as i slap myself before going back to the kitchen

I bush all my thoughts away and just continue what am i doing instead

"let me help" i heard him suddenly said behind me

I didn't replied, i just let him do whatever he wants

I approached the fridge and placed the frozen foods and vegetables inside it while Ran placed the cup noodles, can foods, snacks and biscuits in the cabinet

Few minutes had passed, he's now sitting at the couch but I'm still busy cleaning my apartment

"Aren't you tired Haru? Go take a rest, will you?" he uttered but just like earlier, i ignore it again

I continued cleaning while he was busy playing with the cat he brought awhile ago because it had finished eating

When i finally done, i went inside my bedroom. I grabbed new clothes for us 'cause i know he's not used to sleep without taking a bath
