The Way it Should Be

They had planned to meet today and for once it was at Teddy’s apartment instead of his own. It was faster for Koutaro to go to Sector 1 than it was for Teddy to go to Sector 5 and to be frank, the less time wasted travelling, the better.
On a whim he decides that, no, there shouldn’t be any travel time at all. There was no need for them to live so far apart. He’d been hinting at the fact subtly for some time now and Koutaro was starting to get impatient. Did Teddy not want to move in with him? No, that wasn’t it. Of course Teddy would want to move in, especially after seeing how dangerous Hive City was. It wasn’t like the Imagin didn’t already spend most of his time at Koutaro’s. The way he cleaned the place and took care of things-- he might as well live there.
Deep in thought about how he was going to approach this, he almost doesn’t realize that he was at Teddy’s apartment. He knocks on the door and notices that his palms feel sweaty. He takes a deep breath. Was he nervous? That was weird. There wasn’t a reason to feel anxious or anything. It wasn’t like Teddy would say no or think he was being a bother, but...
When Teddy opens the door, Koutaro’s entire plan falls to pieces as his bluntness takes control. There’s no nice build up or the list of good reasons Koutaro spent hours on. Only a very simple statement said quickly in a bout of nerves (but he wasn’t nervous, okay).
“You’re moving. Today.”
