This was not what you had signed up for.

You and Akutagawa had been together for a bit, and you thought that of his various quirks you’d seen the weirdest one, like the ungodly amount of sugar he put in his tea (you could swear there was more sugar than tea inside his cup) or even his lack of social skills despite constantly being in contact with people. You loved all those things about him, obviously, but sometimes… sometimes he would pull stuff like this.

He’d wanted to come over. You both had the day off, so you considered it a good idea, and you’d accepted! It was going to be great, you were sure of that.

You’d gotten ready, deciding to look at least a bit good since your boyfriend was coming over, and cleaned around a bit.

And when he knocked… it wasn’t on the door. You could see the shadow of Rashoumon knocking at your window, and he was standing right below it.
