Atsushi was well aware this was risky, he was basically presenting himself like a gift on the enemy’s doorstep.

It felt like trying to break into some highly guarded vault, where one wrong move would get him caught- or worse killed.

But this wasn’t some infiltration mission, he had to remind. This was visiting a… friend? Enemy? It felt like the lines between his and Akutagawa’s relationship blurred every time they spoke. Last time he checked sworn enemies don’t hang out with each other so casually.

The apartment building wasn’t too different from the one he lived in, having a pretty similar lay out. He assumed the inside wouldn’t be too different either. He took the stairs up to the second floor, looking over the numbers as he passed each door. The last thing he wanted was to knock on the wrong one.

Eventually Atsushi found the right unit, admittingly after checking over the address a million times. Does he just... knock? Should he send a text that he was here?

Ok, ok, he was defiantly overthinking. They were just going to hang out for a few hours, maybe get lunch at some point. So why was his heart racing? Why were his thoughts filled with 'what if's? Why was his stomach filled with butterflies?

Shaking his thoughts away, Atsushi bit the bullet. He'll do both. He typed out a quick 'I'm outside' message and hit send- Fuck, did that sound creepy? He internally wanted to scream- before he knocked on Akutagawa's door.

"Already off to a rough start..." he said to himself.
