Hall neighbors (AU) @timorouscage
There had been a notice for a while that someone was moving into the apartment across from his and Shoot didn’t really mind it. He didn’t know who exactly, but it was a rather quiet building so he expected it to possibly be someone elderly or a student that needed such an environment to study; Either way, even though he knew he’d be nervous having to see someone else around at times, it was also sort of a relief that he wasn’t on that floor alone anymore.
He had been finishing up some bills and paperwork before he dropped his pen at some yelling he had heard. Please let that be just the moving crew that are boisterous like that. Well, maybe they were just excited, not like someone would be like that all the time, right? Right. He reassured that in his mind before he finished up and still heard noises from whoever was moving in. A peek wouldn’t hurt, but he wasn’t going to say hello.
Shoot stood up from the table he sat at and walked over to the door. Let’s see… Perhaps he felt a bit creepy trying to be nosy, but he looked out of the peephole of his door to see the door across from his own. He was right about someone working on moving in, seeing the door open, but nothing else.
He cracked his own door open and stuck his head out to try to see if there were at least some boxes to be sure, but as soon as he saw a glimpse of some guy that looked like he was some sort of yankii he gulped and shut his door quickly to stop looking. Shoot stood there, leaning against his own door and sighed, slouching. Why? He only hoped it didn’t sound like a slam when he closed himself back into his own space.
Running many rounds Knuckle slowly got all of his belongings into his new residence. Putting down some more boxes Knuckle was caught off guard by a sudden shutting sound. Looking around his small apartment Knuckle had first been worried it was someone who'd snuck into his apartment while he was moving his belongings.
Checking the few 'rooms' and closet but when all of them were left empty leaving him minorly stumped and confused. Scratching his head as he thought Knuckle noticed the door across the hall through his front door, which he had stupidly left open again.
Getting a bright idea Knuckle exited his apartment and made his way over to his neighbors door. Knocking on the door Knuckle was going to ask his new neighbor if they saw anyone for the concept of his neighbor opening and closing their own door was completely forgotten due to his current obliviousness.
"Hey, is anyone home?" Knuckle asked with his accidental yell which was his usual volume. Knocking a few more times Knuckle continued to speak to the wall assuming the person who resided there was home and able to hear him. "I just moved in across the hall from you, also have you seen anyone over here while I was moving my belongings?" Knuckle asked casually bringing up the whole reason he came over. "For some reason I heard something like the closing of a door and i can't find anyone in my room so I don't know what could have happened."
