By the time they arrived at the apartment, the clock had just hit nine. It was still early but, a few units were already basked in darkness, showing that the residents had gone to rest.
Heisuke slowed down the bike until they stopped in front of the right-side staircase.
"Go upstairs," Heisuke faintly smiled at Hisaki. Both of them had gotten off of the bike, "I need to put this bike away first."
"Okay."
Hisaki returned the smile. She shyly tucked her hair behind her right ear.
For a second, Heisuka had a wish to stroke her head. He was ashamed to imagine how soft the feeling would be under his rough palm.
Heisuke quickly threw the embarrassing thought away. Lowering his head, he pushed the bike to the small garage next to the building.
"Ah, wait!"
Her call froze his step.
Heisuke stiffly glanced to his back, "En... is there something else?"
Happy September! Hope this month would be a good one for all of us :)
