Halloween Cocktails (Rin Matsuoka x Reader) Chap.1

Too many noises, too many people. That was the first thing you thought as you passed the last control point and finally entered the world of Japan. You twisted your mouth and looked up at the dazzling white ceiling. The airport was directly connected to the train station so there was no chance to see the night sky for the next few hours.
You turned to the hall again, searching for the right way; too many signs as well.

"I'd be so lost if I came here alone,“ you mumbled to yourself. Flustered you looked back to the control point, and couldn't help, but snicker at the scene. Rin, what the hell are you doing?! Just now the inspector returned the passport along with the forms to him, and Rin simply leaned forward and took it with his teeth. The inspectors face was priceless.

"Heuympf! (y/n)!“ The red haired boy caught up with you, leaving the poor inspector quite confused, "What on earth is in your suitcases?!“ (That was at least what you understood, since he was unable to speak clearly with that much paper in his mouth).
You sighed and surveyed the dozen of bags he was carrying, which where obviously the reason he didn't have a free hand for things like passports.
"I'm sorry. You can give these to me now," you suggested and held out your hands.
"Thaut woudmd bou goumtlempflnk!“
"What? I don't understand you,“ You raised yourself on to your tiptoes and took the documents out of his mouth and put them into his jacket pocket.
"Thanks. That wouldn't be gentleman-like," Rin repeated.
"Fine. Just give these to me.“
"Nope. Stop being stubborn.“
"I'm not stubborn. Please.“
"At least tell me, why you need that many bags, when we're just staying here for two weeks before we fly back to Australia!“
You crossed your arms. "I need my sewing machine, and I need my fabrics."
Rin groaned loudly and let the suitcases fall to the ground. "Seriously? There's a sewing machine in here?!“
You felt yourself blushing. "I-is there a problem? We came here for Halloween, right? And I couldn't get the costumes ready, though...“
Rin didn't let you finish the sentence. Suddenly he put you in a headlock and ruffled your hair.
"H-hey!“
"You're crazy, you little twerp," he grinned.
"Tzz," You laughed and freed yourself from his grip. "Stop that!“ With a giggle you bent forward and heaved your suitcases. Rin raised an eyebrow, but when you shrugged your shoulders, he just sighed and strapped his own bag.
"At least I don't need to feel guilty, since I'm not your boyfriend.“
"That's right,“ You nodded and hastily grabbed his arm, as you proceeded your way to the train station. The last thing you wanted to happen now, was to get lost in this hopelessly dense crowd. There were people everywhere. If you walked off your own, you might end up being confused and run into one of the many advertising columns. (You already had managed to do this twice in Sydney, though).

After all, Rin was a nice guard. He bought you some sandwiches and green tea from a local store and even knew, which of the hundred automats sold tickets for the train. Three quarters of an hour later you were sitting in your seats, ready for your Shinkansen run from Osaka to Tokyo.
You placed your food on the tray table and pulled your dictionary out of your backpack.
"What was 'Nice to meet you' again? Was it 'Hajimemashite, dozo yoroshiku' or something like that?" you asked Rin, who strechted himself in the seat next to you.
"Haa?!“ He gave you a side glance, not really convinced. "Are you telling me, you want to practice japanese after a seven hour flight?“
"Yup?“
"I don't approve.“ He yawned and tried to find a good sleeping position. You shook your head, patted his arm silently, and opened your book for japanese basics without another comment.
Around ten minutes later Rin has already fallen asleep. His head sunk on your shoulder, but you didn't mind at all. Your eyes wandered to the window, where a sea of colored lights illuminated the city outside. In a few hours you were going to lie in a fluffy bed. A light smile flitted over your lips.
You remembered this story, Rin had told you, when you'd been playing truth or dare. It was about him and his friend Haruka, when they'd been visiting Australia two years ago and got stuck in a hotel room with only one bed. That was only a few weeks before Rin and you had ran across each other for the first time. He had just been incorporated into a famous swimming team back then and used to practice in the pool, where you were employed as a waitress for the pool cafe. What had happened was, that you'd stumbled and fallen straightaway into the water. He had hauled you out then, and that was how your friendship had started. Quite weird, to be honest.
Much time had been going by since this day, and now he was the best friend you ever wished for.
You smiled and brushed a flick of hair out of his face. His lips had opened a bit and you could see his pointy teeth that you thought were kind of cute. Though, they were perfect material, when it came to developing a flawless halloween makeup, as well.
"Hm.“ You looked down at the book in your hands and suddenly felt overwhelmed by the thought of getting some sleep. Probably Rin was right. There were still 2 more hours left of boring train journey, the seats were pretty comfortable, everybody was pleasantly calm in your compartment, and the city lights in front of the dark sky made you feel all woozy.
One last glimpse out of the window, then your eyes slowly closed. You felt Rin's warm breath on your neck and your cheek on his hair. Then you fell into the world of sweet dreams.
