The Architect (HAITUS)

Yuzu's pov

-

"Yuzu! Oh please, can you take me to the store?" Harumin whined with those puppy eyes. I rolled my eyes, this girl always has to go there or something.

"Why do you have to go there this time? Matsuri wouldn't be there so what reason is it now?" I raised a brow. She sat down and began doing those cute expressions with her hand she does while explaining.

"Well you see Hunny, we are roommates and today you were the one who gave me a ride since... well we are roommates so why not? Anyways, tonight I have a guest coming over so I have to buy snacks... for uhm a good fu- I mean a movie night" She fastly corrected herself. I chuckled and grabbed my keys as if I didn't know what she wanted to say. I grabbed my helmet and threw hers towards hers.

"Catch, you better be fast otherwise I'm leaving without you" I grabbed my bag, put my glasses in its case, and put the contact lenses in, so I won't break my special glasses. I love those, they make me hot and sexy. "You ready?"

"Yep, now let's go"

We went to the elevator to head down towards the garage.

Once we got into the parking garage, we put the helmets on and sat on my motor. "Alright, here we go" I shouted so she could hear me. I felt her grip tighten around my waist as she nodded. I started the motor and there we went, in the streets of Londen. As a couple of minutes passed, I finally parked my bike in the parking lot.

Harumin let out a puff when she finally took the helmet off before nudging me, "Look at that hottie, think she will join you tonight?" She smirked while winking at me.

Ugh, this girl.

I rolled my eyes and walked into the store with Harumin, that has been giving me looks since she saw that girl.

She's making me so uncomfortable, I want to cry 😢

Well, we went from the candies to the chips and then of course alcohol. "Really? Why do you want to get drunk tonight?" I asked tiredly since I don't want to deal with a drunk Harumin.

"Well, I want to have some fun you know" She winked and choose her drink for the night. "Oeh, look who's heading to the counter" she wiggled her brows at me making me rol my eyes and look towards the counter. And of course, so no other than the girl that Harumin has been smirking at. Why is she like that every time she sees a pretty girl?

"Not now Harumin..."

"Ugh, you are no fun. You haven't hooked up for like so so sooo long"

She put the last bottle in the basket and headed to the counter so she could pay.

"Fuck" I heard someone cursing silently. I looked at the pretty girl seeing her fumbling through her bag. She must have forgotten her card at home.

"How much was her total?" I asked the cashier. The woman looked confused at me before telling me how much it was. I smiled and looked at the pretty girl "Hey, let me pay" I put my card on the machine and paid the money.

"There was no need for it-" When she saw that I've paid, she smiled shyly. "Thanks"

Her smile is really beautiful, I won't lie.

As she put the food inside her bag, I didn't know what happened but I grabbed my business cards and before she could walk away, I softly grabbed her hand and put the card inside her hand "You're welcome" I smiled. She return it and left.

"Wow" I heard Harumin say behind me. I totally forgot that I was with her. "That was... wait, what did you give her?" I sighed and grabbed the bag from her hands and began putting her stuff inside of it.

"What? I just paid since she forgot her card" I said and shrugged.

"Hm" The cashier was done scanning and Harumin had to pay, "I forgot my card too, you mind paying for me too?" She mocked. This girl.

"Uh, of course not. I'm waiting for you by the bike" I said grabbing the bag and headed outside. I breathed in the cold air and walked toward my motorbike. I saw a car pull away and disappear in the distance, must be that girl. I lit up a cigarette and huffed a blow before letting it in my mouth for a bit so I could put the bag on the bike.

I then felt someone snatch it from my mouth making me groan and look her way, "How many times do I have to tell you to stop smoking? That shit isn't good for your health."

I scoffed and snatched it back, "At least I don't drink as much as you do, I berally even drink" She rolled her eyes and put her helmet on.

"you better finish smoking that thing fast, I don't want to wait"

Why can't she just leave me smoke? I threw it on the ground and stepped on it before putting on my helmet and sat down with Harumin behind me. I  strayed the bike and went off.

It was a couple of minutes ride before finally stopping at our apartment. I pulled into the garage wonder the building and once I'd parked, I grabbed the keys and got off. I gave Harumin her bag of snacks and we headed toward the elevator. "And now you're giving me the cold shoulder for being afraid about your health?"

"I'm not giving you the cold shoulder, I just hate it when someone snatches it out my mouth"

"Well, take care of your body alright? I really don't want you to end up with lung cancer like uhm... you know, your mother" She said silently.

I know she cares about me, so I turned around and made her look at me. "I know you care, but please, don't ever snatch it again. I won't end up with lung cancer, I promise-"

"Don't promise me something you can't controle" She whispered. I didn't know what to say, honestly, I would like to go to my room and cry. Cause this topic is sensitive and she knows it, that's why she said my mother's name quietly. I blinked away a couple of tears and looked back at the door that had just opened.

We walked out the door and I waited until she opened the door. She didn't get in until she made sure I was inside. I took off my shoes and wanted to walk to my room before feeling Harumin's hand grab mine and I was engulfed in a hug. I hate it when she sees me this weak. I wrapped my arms around her waist as the tears began storming out uncontrollably. She softly kissed the top of my head as she played with my hair and whispered soft words.
