The Case of Akko’s Tidied- Up Chaos

🍩🍩Akko🍩🍩 @Akko1454

#1 When the alarm went off, Akko woke up in the middle of the garbage. She was kind of "clutter" queen, and her things were scattered all over the floor. She picked up some clothes from a pile of something...maybe books, food, drinks? Even she didn't know what they are.

#2 Akko had lived by herself for a long time. She had some close friends but never invited to her room. No one imagined she would have lived in such a garbage house, especially who knew her as a journalist. Today, she was planning to see a detective about the recent murder case.

@Akko1454 #3 “What was the name of the detective?” Akko said to herself for the hundredth time. “Ah, yeah, Mark. Or was it Mike? Gosh, it’s such a common name, making it all the more difficult to remember it! He must be a typical boring guy!” She smirked one last time and hurried out.

@karimama12 @Akko1454 #4 Akko drove her junker Toyota RAV4, and made a stop at a donut shop. She cannot function well without her favorite custard filled donut and a cup of coffee in the morning. “Akko, you are looking fabulous as usual!” The regular customer, Diego, smiled and waved his hand.

@Zurappe @karimama12 @Akko1454 #5 "Morning, D!" Akko flashed her smile on him while grabbing her morning combo from the counter. "How are things going in your world, D?" On her way to his seat to have a brief chat with Diego, Akko bumped into someone and spilled her coffee. "Oh, shoot!"

@Norin_76 @Zurappe @karimama12 @Akko1454 A guy in police uniform said “Oh god, I’m sorry Miss”. In a split second, Diego came and asked her “Are you okay!? Did you get burnt??”. She looked up him and remembered what people in town often said about him, “Diego is hot like San Diego in California”.

@mimi_summer_ @Norin_76 @Zurappe @karimama12 #7 "Thanks, D. I'm okay." Diego was always nice to Akko. He was definitely a good-looking guy, but too kind to be hot. When Akko is looking at the guy behind Diego, he seemed awkward. "I'm really sorry. I ruined your nice suit." Akko looked at her wrinkled suit. "Is this so?"

@Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @Norin_76 @karimama12 #8 Somehow the coffee spilt only on Akko’s suit jacket. She felt a bit comforted to find the donut was not ruined. The policeman handed a $20 bill to Akko saying “I will pay for the cleaning. Here, take it.” Diego cut in, “Officer, it would cost more than that.”

@Zurappe @Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @karimama12 #9 Akko and the office glanced at Diego and the officer frowned at Diego's contentious tone. "Hey, D, that's Okay." She would rather get it over with than argue over such a petty thing as a coffee stain which would be easily removed. "Anyways, I gotta run." Akko said.

@Norin_76 @Zurappe @mimi_summer_ @karimama12 # 10 "Hey, where are you going?" Grabbing her arm, Diego asked. "I'm going to interview a detective about the recent case." Akko replied. Suddenly the guy said. "Maybe it's me? The one you’re going to see?" Gazing at him surprisingly, Akko realized he was extremely handsome.

@Akko1454 @Norin_76 @Zurappe @mimi_summer_ #11 “Are you...are you Mike?” asked Akko, trying to keep her voice steady. “Mark. Mark Tanaka. LAPD. Good to meet you here,” he extended his hand. “Tanaka? Are you a Japanese descent?” Not able to getting her eyes off his, Akko took his big, warm hand. “Yeah, third generation.”

Mimi @mimi_summer_

@karimama12 @Akko1454 @Norin_76 @Zurappe #12 “What a coincidence!! I’m Akko, also third generation too!!”. She felt something weird feelings, but she didn’t know what it was. She just couldn’t take her eyes off from his well trained body, biceps and especially jaw line. Diego glanced at her and cut in the conversation

@mimi_summer_ @karimama12 @Akko1454 @Norin_76 #13 “Hey Akko, I will buy you another coffee” Diego offered. Akko does not even give him a glance, but just nodded. The shop owner shouted from behind the counter, “It’s on the house!” and placed another cup on the counter. Diego dashed to get it, but Mark beat to it.

🍩🍩Akko🍩🍩 @Akko1454

@Zurappe @mimi_summer_ @karimama12 @Norin_76 #14 "Here you are, Akko", Mark handed out the coffee. "Thanks" Akko smiled. Such a beautiful smile was never given to me, Diego thought. "A new rival, eh?" The shop owner grinned, putting donuts on the showcase. "Do you park here? If you like, I'll drive you to the station".

のの @karimama12

@Akko1454 @Zurappe @mimi_summer_ @Norin_76 “Akko, why don’t I give you a ride, then? You haven’t seen my new car yet, have you? It’s a beauty! Not as beautiful as you, of course!but..,” Diego said quickly to her. “Um...yeah, Diego, maybe some other time. But thank you,” replied Akko without casting even a glance at him.

@karimama12 @Akko1454 @Zurappe @mimi_summer_ #16 "Then, shall we go now?" Mark offered his arm and Akko caught herself just before lacing her arm through Mark's. "I'd better not." Akko snapped. "You know, I'm a journalist and am interviewing you for the recent murder case. Wouldn't being chummy with you be unprofessional?"

Noriko 🍒📚 @Bibliophile_n76

@karimama12 @Akko1454 @Zurappe @mimi_summer_ #17 "Fair enough." Mark grinned. Despite her determination not to sway by his charm, his smile turned Akko's inside warm and mushy, making her heart flutter. "I'll meet you at the station." Both Akko and Mark parted leaving Diego behind. "What'cha gonna do, Diego?" The owner said

@Norin_76 @Akko1454 @Zurappe @mimi_summer_ #18 “Whacha talk’n’bout, Jim?”Diego narrowed his eyes. “Y’know, looks like Akko’s got a crush on that detective guy,” the owner answered matter-of-factly. “Oh, come off it! She likes me, no, LOVES me! She just doesn’t know it yet!” Jim let out a big sigh, ”Good luck, poor Diego.”

@karimama12 @Norin_76 @Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ #19 When Akko arrived at the station, Mark was already out of the uniform and casually dressed with T-shirt and jeans. “I almost did not recognize you!” Akko admired his hard-muscled body. “Yeah?! Don’ care uniform much, but I had to attend a funeral in the early morning.”

🍩🍩Akko🍩🍩 @Akko1454

@Zurappe @karimama12 @Norin_76 @mimi_summer_ #20 "So, what should we begin with?" Akko asked. Mark said nonchalantly, "Actually not much I can talk to you about the case. As you know, we cannot speak about ongoing cases. It's confidential." "I know that. So I thought it would be a good chance to hear about it firsthand"

🍩🍩Akko🍩🍩 @Akko1454

@Zurappe @karimama12 @Norin_76 @mimi_summer_ #21 "Then, why did you accept my request? “ Akko got sulky.Mark smiled mischievously, “Do me a big favor? I heard you are a dog whisperer. You can tell what dogs are thinking. Something wrong with my canine recently. Would you help me with that? Then I can tell you about it."

Mimi @mimi_summer_

@Akko1454 @Zurappe @karimama12 @Norin_76 #22”Deal”. Akko accepted his offer. “Where is your dog then?”. “Actually my dog, Austin, isn’t here. He’s home now cuz he isn’t in a good condition, so can you come to my place tonight or whenever is the best for you.” She got blushed with the words of “come to my place tonight”

@mimi_summer_ @Akko1454 @Zurappe @Norin_76 #23 “Whaaaat!!?” exclaimed Diego. Akko was back at “Jim’s”, munching another cream donut. “You’re not going, right, Akko? A lady like you shouldn’t visit a guy like that at night! Darn it!” “Yeah, I’m going. I’m a journalist! I’ll do anything to get a good piece of information!”

Satomi Ｋ @Zurappe

@karimama12 @mimi_summer_ @Akko1454 @Norin_76 #24 “I am coming along as a volunteer bodyguard!,” Diego huffed squaring his shoulders. “What? Do you think you can win over those muscles if anything ever happened?” She skeptically squinted looking at his lean body. “Count on me, Akko! Watched many Jackie Chen movies!”

🍩🍩Akko🍩🍩 @Akko1454

@Zurappe @karimama12 @mimi_summer_ @Norin_76 #25 "Diego! First of all, this is my job! The second, Mark is a detective! If you tag along with me and do something to him, you'll be charged for obstructing officers and trespassing!" Diego looked at Akko like a scolded puppy, but decided to follow her clandestinely.
