My name is Minoru Urihara...and this is my story on how one
promotion at work throws my whole life into chaos. After meeting him....I don't
know what to think anymore. What is right and what is wrong? I have never been
so confused before in my life. The scariest thought about all of this? Am I
falling in love with a guy? No....I possibly couldn't be.....could I? This
story is not based off of any anime or characters. Therefore both the story
line and the characters who I created and brought to life belong to me! I do
not own any of the photos....I got them all off google. Hope you all enjoy.
Rolling out of bed I sigh as I glance to my clock. The
lights flicker in a mocking way telling me that it is only 5:25am.
"Damn..."
I grumble knowing there is a zero chance of me falling back
asleep for now.
"Why must I always wake up so damn early...?”
Lying in bed I stretch my arms and legs out sighing as I do.
Sitting up I feel the blanket fall from my body, exposing my bare chest to the
freezing cold air.
"Damn...."
Quickly I grab the blanket to keep warm, as I cover my body
once more.
"It’s freezing..."
I mutter. How I truly hate winter. Me and the cold...not a
very good combination. Especially when it is so freaking early in the morning.
Sadly knowing I can't hide in the warmth of my blanket all day I throw it off
and place my feet on the soft carpet of my bedroom.
A yawn escapes my lips as I slowly stand up and sleepily
walk from my bedroom and into the hallway. I go into the bathroom and turn
the shower on making the water temperature hot. I grab my toothbrush and place
mint flavored toothpaste on it and brush my teeth. Once finished I stare at my
reflection before me in the mirror. I have pale porcelain smooth skin. I have a
toned body yes, but I am far from having that muscular type of body. My eyes
are blue and I have deep purple shaggy hair. Sometimes depending on the light
it looks blacker. Or in the sun the purple really shines bright. My hair falls
down around my face and ends around my chin. I have long bangs as well that
always seem to fall in front of my eyes.
Everyone I know tells me my hairs too long for a guy. That I
need to cut it, because it is unprofessional to have my hair looking how it
does. Though I just ignore them and keep it as it is. After all I have seen
many guys with hair much longer than mine.
Pulling down my black soft sleeping pants and boxers I
step into the hot steaming shower.
"God this feels good..."
I whisper to myself as the scorching hot water burns against
my ice cold skin. After washing my body and hair I turn the shower off and grab
a towel. I towel dry my hair then dry off my chest and back. Placing the towel
around my waist I grab my hairbrush and brush out my purple hair.
Returning back to my bedroom I dress for the long day ahead
of me. Wearing black dress pants with a black buttoned up long sleeved
shirt. I grab a dark purple tie and place it around my neck. Walking into the
kitchen of my two bedroom apartment. Really it is only a one bedroom, as the
spare room is well...uhh well never mind that. We can talk about that later on.
I open the fridge and notice I need to go grocery shopping again. Sighing I
grab an apple and take a bite of it as I pour myself a glass of water. Taking a
sip I place the cup on the table and walk to the window and glance outside as I
eat my apple.
I live on the 7th floor of a newer apartment building
located right in the city. I have lived here for maybe 8 months now...The price
to buy it was decent and I honestly don't need much space as I live alone. I
have a little foyer entrance with a closet for shoes and jackets. Then straight
down the little hallway it opens up into the well spacious living room. There
is a couch, two lounge chairs, coffee table and TV. Around the room there
are some potted plants I am attempting to grow...they haven't died yet so that’s
a good start. Then off from the living room there is the kitchen which is
pretty big. The main reason as to why I bought this place. Then down another
little hallway is the spare bedroom, bathroom, hall closet, and my bedroom.
It's a simple place, but it works for what I need. Oh I also got my own washer
and dryer...so another huge plus to this place. Watching snowflakes float down
from the clouded sky above us a sigh escapes my lips.
"I hate winter...."
I mutter as I glance to the clock on the wall.
"6:43am...guess I can stop for a coffee on the way to
work..."
I go to the kitchen again and throw away my apple core and
walk across the living room and open my hall closet.
I pull out my brown winter jacket and put my arms into the
sleeves. Reaching into the closet I then grab a yellow scarf and wrap it
securely around my neck. I pull on a pair of brown gloves then grab my work
bag. Opening the door I exit my place and lock the door behind me.
I step out of the elevator and exit the warmth of the
building into the freezing cold outdoors. I tighten my scarf more around my
neck as I walk down the sidewalk. The snow crunches under my work shoes as I
make my way down the still quiet street
I pass by shops that are just starting to open for the day.
Making my way to my favorite coffee shop I smile seeing as it is not busy.
Pushing open the door a sigh of relief escapes me as I feel the warmth on my
ice cold face. Inhaling a deep breath the freshly brewed coffee smell makes me
already feel more alive. I walk up towards the counter where the coffee barista
smiles shyly at me.
"Morning
Minoru...”
"She smiles at me through her glasses.
She has blonde hair and blue eyes with pale skin. Today her
hair is tied back in a braid. I have always thought her to be really cute. Flashing
her a smile, I see her cheeks slightly flush pink.
"Good morning Cho.”
"I start to pull off my gloves when she already has my
usual cup of coffee already before me. I smile at her,”
"You know me all too well.”
"Well you do come here every morning at the same time,
always ordering the same drink.”
"Hmm guess I do...maybe one day I should switch up my
order. Quiet morning so far?
“I ask as I take a sip of the perfectly brewed steaming hot
coffee
"Yah...we will pick up and get swamped in like half an
hour though.”
"She smiles at me. She looks so much prettier when she
smiles like that
"Thanks for the coffee.”
"I hand her my money.”
"Keep the change."
I smile at her as I pull my gloves back on
"Have a great day Minoru. See you tomorrow morning.”
I have now considered
many times asking Cho out on a date...I know she would say yes, it's clear she
likes me. But for some reason I just never do. Maybe I am just too nervous and
shy to ask her out. After all I am already 27 years old...still single and
living on my own. Yah I have dated girls. but never found the right girl to
settle down with, you know? Maybe one day I will meet that perfect someone for
me. Drinking my hot coffee I once again walk down the freezing city streets on
my way towards the office.
