Previously on UD...

You have a beautiful voice Akira." Haru blurted out, his face turning even more scarlet before. This also made Akira blush as well, second time he complimented me on one of my features.

"Umm, thanks I guess?" Haru laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck. Akira smiled at him before getting up and lending her hand towards him. Haru took her hand within his before pulling himself up.

Akira's POV (After Club Activities)

"So where do you live?" Me and Haru were exiting the school and were currently about ready to head our different ways to go home, mine to the other direction in the woods and his in the other

"About half a mile from here, but I think I will manage." I stated, hugging myself due to the cold and forgetting to grab a winter jacket earlier this morning

"Are you sure? Because it's pretty cold out, I can always call my cousin to come and pick you up and take you home." Haru stated, about ready to get his phone out of his pocket when I stopped him, shaking my head at him

"Thanks but no, I always do this, walk home." Haru sighed but nodded at me

"Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home?" He asked me when I was about ready to walk away from him. I nodded before waving at him and began to walk back home, not waiting for him to wave back to me.

3rd Person's POV

Haru watched as Akira walked away from him, still hugging herself to give her body at least some warmth. He thought long and hard if he should chase after her and still walk home with her, knowing full well that her family wouldn't even want her doing that in the first place. Haru looked over in the direction the Sohma Estate was before looking back at Akira's retreating figure. He sighed, going with his instinct and began to walk after her, making sure he was at a safe distance when he wouldn't look suspicious to others passing by him, or if Akira by chance looked back and saw Haru walking behind her. The cold winter air brushed by the two teenagers, Haru breathing into his hands before rubbing them together to create friction between them. Snow lightly fell around them, almost scenic to passerbyers. Akira stopped for a moment when there was a crosswalk, looking both ways before walking forward in a fast pace as if she was in a hurry. Soon enough she was in a full on sprint. Haru's eyes widened before sprinting as well after her, thinking she saw him following her and thought he was stalking her, only that was not the case. After a few minutes, Akira slowed down into a jog before going into a modern coffee cafe' named 'Washito's Cafe'.' Haru furrowed his brows in confusion before nearing the cafe'. Inside the building was Akira rushing to get to the back and get ready for her 5-9 Shift

"Evening Ammara!" Celty, the cashier, welcomed Akira who nodded before going to the back where the 'Employee's Lounge' was located to get her uniform on. After changing into her work uniform, she walked back out just in time to see some customers walk in and Celty ready to give her shift to Akira

"Here ya go, oh and you're locking up tonight but Gerard will be here in 10 minutes to help you out, ciao!" Celty waved at Akira who nodded waving back and watched as Celty left the cafe'. 'Time to work...' Akira thought before starting her shift.
