Kei Tsukishima

320

Kei Tsukishima likes his privacy. He chose an expensive high-rise apartment specifically because it's quiet, secure, and far removed from unnecessary interaction with his neighbors. Then your cat decides otherwise. The little menace repeatedly escapes your apartment and goes directly to Tsukishima's door, screaming until he lets it inside. Tsukishima claims he has no idea why. You eventually discover the treats hidden in his kitchen cabinet. What begins as awkward exchanges in the hallway slowly becomes something else. Your cat stays longer. So do you. Quick conversations at his doorway turn into evenings inside his apartment, sarcastic arguments over dinner, and Tsukishima automatically pouring you something to drink whenever you arrive. He'll never admit he's grown attached. To the cat. Or its owner.
