"You... Eat dreams..?" Joe Tazuna X reader (Baku AU)

Chapter 4 ~ Who I was

Y/n POV

Who... Who were those people... Their names were blocked out... I want to know... I want to have the dream again... I'm not gonna summon Joe tonight.

I lay down in bed and close my eyes. I quickly fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"/n... Y/n... Y/n! Wake up!" A voice calls out to me.

"J##! Sorry- I blacked out I guess..." I say.

"It's fine Y/n, but... you didn't block out, you stood in the way when Q-#### tried to punch me, He knocked you out, you shouldn't have done that!" J## exclaims.

"Sorry J##... But you're one of my best friends! How could I ignore you about to get punched?!" I exclaim.

"You know... You're really weird for a kid Y/n, you don't call me big brother like G## and K####... You just address me like a friend," He says.

"Well duh! We're neighbors! I've lived next to you since I was born!" I exclaim.

"Yeah, yeah, I know Y/n,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I bolt up awake. I didn't die that time. Crazy... But I got a clue, his face was blocked out... but... that hair... where do I know it from? He shouldn't be that much taller than me though... Something isn't right here...

"Y/n?"

"Ah! Reko! I didn't see you come in!" I exclaim.

"Well, makes sense, you were asleep, anyway, I found out what happened to Keiji too, it's not pretty, so I won't tell you," Reko says.

"O-Okay Reko... Why'd you come over?" I ask.

"I just wanted to talk to Joe, but looks like he didn't come tonight huh?" Reko asks.

"Yeah, I didn't summon him, I finally didn't die in one of my dreams!" I exclaim.

"Really? That's good Y/n," Reko says.

"But... I need to ask my friend Kanna some questions. Regarding the death game she was in. I know it might stir some bad memories but... I need to know more. I think I saw her in my dream tonight, and considering she doesn't wear a bucket on her head anymore, I know that this was back then. But... It's strange, me and Kanna are the same age... but if I were in a death game with her back then... it wouldn't make sense... surely I would remember it right?" I ask.

Reko stays silent.

"Right?"

Reko doesn't respond, and jumps out the window, when I look out the window, she's gone. Probably off to watch her brother again. I sigh and go back to bed. I'm able to sleep again.

"Y/n... You're just a kid, let the adults handle this,"

"But J##! You're not an adult either! You're still in high school! And you're still a minor!" I exclaim.

"Yeah, but I'm older than you, don't worry about it Y/n," J## replies.

"Yeah don't worry kid, we'll get out of here," K#### says.

"Okay Mr. Policeman," I say.
