IMG:  After rubbing his face from the slap, he noticed he was in a different place so, he rubbed his eyes and asked, “Where am I?” He looked at the door and said, “I shall assume she teleported me to Shira’s apartment or something.” He knocked on the door and waited for someone to reply, but no one answered.


    “Man, this is a pain… I wonder if I have my phone on me,” he asked himself as he reached into his pocket.


    IMG: After obtaining his phone, he noticed someone has been calling him at least sixty-nine times. “I wonder who this could be?” he asked as he redialed the number. Phone rang.


    “Hello, Hatena is that you!” Shira answered in a concerned tone. “Yes, it’s me… um, where are you staying again? I forgot where you said you lived in the last discord conversation we had,” he said as he leaned on the door. “I don’t even remember having that conversation asking her where she lives, however, it just came to me… so, it must have happened,” he thought as he patiently waited for her to reply.


    IMG: Shira got up from the table.


    “Wait, are by my door?” she asked after hearing a thud by her door. “Umm… I think so, not too sure if I’m at the right spot or not,” he replied as he looked at the door.


    IMG: Shira walked out of her living room with just her panties and a thin white shirt on and said, “Wait, right there.”


    “Okay, I guess I’ll hang up now?” he asked as he backed away from the door. “Um… sure,” she replied as she rested her hand on the doorknob.


    IMG: Hatena placed his phone back into his pocket and waited for her to open the door. While Shira’s body is frozen, debating if she should open the door for him, however, she overcame her nerves and opened the door. As she slowly opened her eyes, she didn’t see him outside by her doorstep and asked, “So, where did that sound come from?” She walked farther outside, looked down the hall, and saw him standing there at least two door rooms away. At that moment, the same confidence she once had left her again as she stared at him.


    He turned to her and said, “Oh… so, I was at the wrong door.” Chuckling to himself.


    “Um, yeah, you were…,” she replied as she placed her hand upon her chest and continued to stare at him.


    IMG: He blushed, placed his hand at the back of his head and said, “This feels kinda awkward, and a tad cringe.” As he tried not to look at her directly by darting his eyes towards the ground due to them observing her assets.


    “Yeah, I guess it''s a tad awkward meeting you here like this,” she replied grinning.


    “Ahh, yeah, it is but it would be nice. If you can... you know?” he said, admiring her appearance.


    “It would be nice if I could do what?” she concernedly asked. “Your clothes,” he said as he pointed at her chest and quickly looked away.


    IMG: Shira looked at him with her eyes wide open and began to blush. Her eyes darted down to her see-through shirt and grey lace panties. She quickly covered herself by slamming her hand across her breast. "Don''t look!" She shouted as she slammed the door and rushed into her apartment.


    “Hehe, Hatena’s face is all red, I wonder why is that?” I asked while giggling. He turned to me in surprise and shouted, “My face is not! I’m just embarrassed!”


    “Such a childish response declares that you are guilty, ha, ha!” I said while laughing.


    “My question is why do you always appear then disappear?” he asked as he gazed into my eyes.


    “Um, because I can, duh! You have my contact number anyway so you can survive once you have your phone or give me a shout or even a thought,” I replied before sashayed down the hallway.


    “Hey, wait!” he shouted as he ran after me, however, I disappeared before he can reach me.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.


    IMG: As he reached the end of the hallway, he noticed I have already disappeared and walked back to Shira’s apartment door and knocked on it.


    “I’m sorry, you had to see me like that,” she said as she opened the door with a slight smile and trying to camouflage her red face with a little makeup.


    IMG: He had a quick flashback of her nipples pressing against her shirt and how clearly you could have seen her vaginal line. He cleared his throat and said, “Anyway... um, can I come in and hang out for a while?”


    “Sure,” she replied as she dressed aside, letting him in and closed the door behind him.


    IMG: Hatena360 looked around at her medium-sized apartment, he was amazed at how colorful and perfectly placed items were, and asked, “Are you sure, you just moved in?”


    “Yeah, I did. Doesn’t it suit your taste, or you think a girl of my type cannot decorate?” she asked as she walked to her chair.


    “Well, I can’t judge… I’m kinda just an ordinary person. It seems you settle in quite quickly,” he replied as he looked at her.


    IMG: As Shira sat down and was about to grab her cup, she held her cup tightly so, he immediately said, “Um, sorry, if I said anything stupid.” As he rubbed his neck due to anxiety.


    “It didn’t, it’s just you kinda came like a week after we talked, that’s all,” she replied as she turned her head to the window.


    “Well... sorry, again for not telling you that I was coming so soon, but I did accept your request. It’s kinda the only reason why I’m here. Thought you might just want some company which you desire,” he said, trying to ease the tension around them.


    “Thanks for that, I truly appreciate it,” she replied as she turned to him, smiling.


    IMG: A teardrop quickly ran down her face as she slowly opens her eyes.


    “Did something happen?” he curiously asked as he noticed the teardrop.


    “Yes, but it’s nothing,” she replied as she looked at her cup and drew it close to herself.


    “Okay, um... may, I have a seat?” he asked as he pointed at the chair filled with boxes.


    “Sure thing,” she answered as she began to move her things.


    IMG: Shira removed the boxes that were in the chair and the ones beside it. “Oh, no!” she shouted as the last box that was located on the table fell. All her items were scattered across the floor.


    “Dammit,” she said as she noticed one of her bracelets was damaged beyond repair. “Do you need any help?” he asked as he knelt next to her. Willing to assist her after seeing what has happened. “I insist you do,” she replied as she held her left arm. “Don’t move!” he shouted as he noticed a broken picture frame next to her feet. Shira immediately stopped herself from stepping onto the cluster of glass shards. "Do you have a broom?" he asked as he looked around. “Um... the broom and anything else you might need is in that room over there,” she replied as she pointed towards the door.


    IMG: He rushes towards the door, opens it, takes out a broom, dustpan and a pair of slippers. When he returned, he saw Shira just staring at the picture frame that was next to her feet.


    “Glad, you didn’t move, you would have gotten hurt,” he said as she swipes up the glass shards.


    IMG: He took a quick peek of the picture frame, and saw what seems to be a younger version of Shira, two girls, and three boys and asked, “Close friends of yours?” As he handed it to her. She turned to him and yanked it out of his hand.


    “I wonder if that’s the reason why she is acting like this,” he thought and continued to clean the area and packed her items back into the box. “Can you hand me those slippers you bought for me, please?” she asked as she pointed at them. “Urgh, sure thing, just give a minute,” he replied as he fetched them for her. “You can just place them there, I’ll put them on after,” she said as he stood in front of her. “No, I’ll put them on for you… it’s the most I can do,” he said before kneeling.


    IMG: After placing the slippers beside her feet, he noticed two distinct designs on her feet. A Japanese symbol located on her left leg''s instep and Alvira written above her right leg''s ankle with chains. Hatena assisted her in putting on the left leg''s slipper as he tried to carefully read Alvira correctly, but Shira was questioning why he was taking so long to put on the other slippers.


    “Are you looking up my skirt!” she shouted as she kicked him with her left leg.


    IMG: Hatena360 was thrown to the wall close to the TV.


    “Damn, that hurt,” he muttered as he held his back in pain.


    IMG: Shira gave him a cold stare at that moment, placed the slipper on, and head to her room


    “Well, that was kinda stupid of me to do,” he mumbled to himself as he sat there.


    IMG: As he looked up, he noticed a bracelet in pieces and headed towards it.


    “I guess this belongs to one of the girls in the photo,” he thought as he held it in his hand. “Um, Hatena do you mind coming another time?” she asked as she stood there with her head down.


    IMG: He quickly hid the bracelet by placing it in his back pocket and said, “Yeah, sure thing… I guess tomorrow or so?” She nodded her head and walked towards the door while he followed.


    “See you tomorrow,” he said before walking outside. “Yeah… and thanks for stopping by,” she replied with a smile.


    IMG: Shira gently closed the door and locked it, however, Hatena360 stood outside the door staring at it thinking, “Man, I really mess that up, but I hope this can make up for it.” After he left, Shira leaned onto the door and started crying, thinking about her past, and what she did to Hatena.


    “I’m so stupid,” she said as she sat there in the corner by the door.


    IMG: The picture frame is seen lying on Shira''s bed with a pair of scissors next to it.
