Yukihiro asked you to come by at his place to help with his bug problem. He asked Ryuichi and Haruomi to help for the past few days but it seems the problem isn't solved yet. "Yukki-san? I'm here!" you announced yourself after knocking. The door opened and Yukihiro greeted you in relieve. "I'm so glad you came! Come in! My place isn't done yet." The frantic can be heard in his voice. You went inside and quickly the two of you wore your battle gears.

Both of you started covering the furniture with plastic sheets after moving them away from the wall. Yukihiro sprayed every nook and cranny of the walls to prevent any creepy crawlies coming out and you did the same. Yukihiro seemed much more meticulous in this than you were. "How long has your place been infested?" you asked. "For almost a week and it's a drag!" he answered.

"I asked Hosono-san and Sakamoto-kun to help but our efforts weren't enough." Yuki huffed in frustration. "Maybe because it's summer that they're coming out?" you shared your guess. "Well, whatever the cause... I just want them to be out of my place.". "Alright, let's get this done." Yuki firmly nodded and the two of you continued working.

Yukihiro then opened his record player and played a vinyl. "Do you mind if I play some music?" he asked. "I don't at all!" you smiled and continued working. You recognize the melody and it was Yuki's own album, his Neuromantic album. He is good at singing but you always think that he's a bit of a try-hard when singing in English.

The two of you continued working accompanied with the music and you picked up your pace to match Yuki's. You noticed the spots that Haru and Ryuichi missed. "This must be the reason why Yuki's bug problem isn't completely solved." And took care of it. "There it is!" Yukihiro suddenly shouted which made you jump. "What? Where?" you got carried with the panic.

"There!" Yukihiro pointed to a running roach and you grabbed the broom. "Get it! Get it!" you swung the broom and hit it. It didn't take long for the others swarming out and both of you were in a war with the roaches. "Die!" you shouted as you swung the broom while Yukihiro only grunts.

"Is it all of them?" you asked while keeping your guard. You and Yukihiro were in a tense silence even though the vinyl was still playing. "There!" he pointed and you swung the broom but the critter was smart enough to dodge your attacks. "Get it before it starts to fly!". "I'm trying!" you swung the broom again but you missed and gave the roach the opportunity to fly.

It opened its wings and flew upwards, passing your face as if it was mocking you which made you stumble backwards. You held to Yukihiro's hand but your weight pulled you back and both of you fell. You fell on your back while Yuki landed on top of you. "Are you okay?" he asked. "I'm alright." You answered although your back was a bit sore.

Something in the air
Taking hold on me
Wonder where it's gonna lead

Something in the air
Growing stronger now
What's it gonna do to me?

The lines perfectly described the situation the two of you were in. Both of you were looking at each other in silence but neither of you seemed to move a muscle. You didn't know what or how to respond. Then you noticed Yukihiro was slowly leaning towards you but the roach flew and landed on his shoulder so you slapped it away.

Startled, Yukihiro fell on his side and you quickly stood up, grabbed the broom and swung it to the roach. "Die!!" you landed a direct hit and it turned to a very nasty pancake. "That's the last of them." Said Yuki after he stood up and the two of you cleaned the room from splattered roaches. The plastic sheets were taken off and the furniture were back on its place. Also the vinyl had stopped playing for a while.

"Thanks for coming and helping me, (y/n). We finally finished off the infestation." Yukihiro thanked you while trying to sound excited, ignoring the situation before. "You're welcome! It was fun." You smiled then asked, "What were you going to do earlier?" he couldn't answer. He was too embarrassed. You sighed and Yuki was surprised when you gave him a peck on his lips. "There. Isn't that what you were going to do?". "You got me." He laughed with a blush on his face.

You giggled, "Don't tell the other two about this, okay?" Yuki did a zipping gesture across his lips, promising to keep the secret.

A.N : I'm back, guys!! Sorry for the wait again. I've been busy and I'm back on drawing again. Can't believe I got the motivation to sketch again though I'm not that good at it. Also I'm practicing my piano again but I'm still writing. I think I got a bit of writer's block. I listened to the entire album of Neuromantic while writing this and I'm surprised that it's really good! The link is one of the song from the album, Something In The Air and it's pretty good. You guys can look up the album on YouTube and I hope you enjoy is as you enjoyed the chapter! I'll see you in the next one! RD out!! Boi!!!
