Thanks for the Memories

A/n: My exams are coming soon so I won’t be able to lurk on tumblr much, and this thing that I’m working on would have to wait as well. So just thought I could share an excerpt of it (for no particular reason because I can) before I retreat to my studying cave.
“Finally. I have been waiting for you to come out.”
Aoko flinched, her neck spun to the source of the voice.
There, was Kaito, standing on his balcony with his arms folded and settled on the railings. She should at least be prepared for this, but it was still a little hard to get used to his presence every time she entered her balcony. His hair was whipped into a mess by the wind, and she wondered just how long he had really been standing here and waiting for her to come out, like what he claimed he did.
“Waiting for me? What for?” Aoko squinted her eyes .
He half-turned towards her and twitched his nose. “I can smell your food from my house.”
Aoko blinked. “I- Um… Curry.”
“It must be one big pot.” Kaito left his balcony railings and tipped his head towards her, trying to take a peek inside her house. Of course he couldn’t see anything from where he stood, but his stealth attempt caught Aoko off guard, and she almost wanted to rush back inside to hide her undergarments that were hanging near her balcony door.
She took in a breath to steady herself. “One big pot, yes.” She said warily.
“Is today sharing-food-with-neighbours day? I’ve prepared nothing but I’ll still be glad to have some curry from you.” Kaito grinned, looking none to apologetic even though she thought he should be after sounding like a complete ass.
Aoko stuck out her tongue. “None for you.”
“Then you have guests?” He pondered for a moment, giving her an incredulous look. “A guy?”
Aoko gaped. It was a fifty-fifty chance, but he did get the guy part correct.
Kaito tilted his head, obviously noticing her surprised reaction. “Oh,” he crossed his arms almost disapprovingly. She wasn’t sure if he exaggerated the crease of his eyebrows or if he was really upset-
“Is it your boyfriend?” He added after a pause.
She scowled and crossed her arms back. “Why do you care anyway?”
“Because he gets to eat your curry and I can’t,” he gave a half-hearted shrug. “And it kinda pisses me off.”
