Quiet. Your apartment was quiet and peaceful. Just the way you liked it. You couldn’t stand people at all. Especially those who were overly happy.

the quietness didn’t last long until he moved into the apartment next door. Haru. Your new neighbor who was everything you despised in a person and the exact people you stayed away from.

haru was already trying to be friends with everyone in the apartment building. It was hard to avoid him since you two shared a wall and the apartments were right next to each other.

After a painful long shift one day, you stood on the balcony of the apartment complex smoking a cigarette. Quiet. As it always should be until you jump from a cheery voice from behind.

“Hiya neighbor. Can’t sleep?” haru smiles and leans onto the rail next to you. His blonde hair pushed back with a headband and his baggy clothes fell over his body.
