Love Is Hard For A Shut-in | Nagito X Reader

11

Nagito and I walked in comfortable silence while we made our way to our homes.

I stopped in my tracks and stared at a certain store.

"Huh? Y/n...?" Nagito stopped walking and turned to look at me, "Is there something wrong?"

I diverted my attention away from the store and looked at the luckster with a cheeky smile, "Wanna grab some coffee?"

"Huh? But isn't it a bit too late?" Nagito gestured to the setting sun.

"It's never too late to drink coffee!" I exclaimed and grabbed him by the wrist, "Now, come on! My treat!" I pushed the doors open and stepped inside the coffee-smelling café.

I grinned as I saw a vacant table at the very corner of the room. I dragged Nagito towards the table and sat down on the fluffy chair.

"Waaah! It's so fluffy!" I closed my eyes and sank deeper into the chair.

I heard Nagito chuckle, "Do you come here often?"

I opened my eyes and properly sat up, "It's actually the first time I've ever been to a café..."

Nagito's eyes widened at my response, "Really? This is your first?"

I nodded and shyly looked away, "Y-Yeah... I wanted to share it with you..."

Nagito grinned at my statement, "You want to share your first with someone like me?" He exclaimed, earning a few weird looks, "I'm so happy!"

God, that sounded so wrong...

I felt my cheeks flush in emberassment, "L-Let's o-order now, s-shall we...?" I opened the menu and buried my face in it.

Aaaaa I wanna die

"What would you two lovebirds like for today?" The waiter greeted us with a smile.

"L-Lovebirds?" My face lit up like a lamp, "I-I... uhm... I... we... uh..." I struggled to get the right words out of my mouth.

The waiter widened their eyes in realization, "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry for jumping into conclusions like that! Please forgive me!" They bowed.

I cleared my throat and managed to form words, "I-It's alright... I... I'd like to have a/an [insert order] please."

"Okay, a/an [insert order]," The waiter repeated as they wrote it down on their notepad, "And what would you like, sir?" The waiter looked at Nagito who had been quiet this entire time.

"O-Oh... I'd like a bagel and a cup of coffee please," The waiter wrote down Nagito's order and left us alone.

Awkward silence dominated the both of us as we continued to wait for our orders.

Gosh, this is so awkward...

I directed my eyes towards Nagito who was doing Origami with a piece of tissue. I let out an amused smile as I saw Nagito marvel at the sight of his finished paper crane.

He's so cute...

Huh?

What... did I just say...?

I mean, he *is* cute but like...

Why is my heart beating so fast?

I'm not even nervous...

Ahh my face is flushing..

What is this feeling? (sO SUDDEN AND NEW-)

I feel like those Shoujo protagonists...

"Could it be...?" I widened my eyes in realization, "Do I l-"

"Thank you for waiting. Here are your orders," The waiter from before arrived with a tray full of food.

"Oh, thank you," I smiled at the waiter as they finished setting the food on table. The waiter smiled and left us alone once again.

"Thank you for the food," I clapped my hands together and began to eat.

"Thank you for the food," Nagito followed suit and we began to eat in silence.

"Waaah!! The food was so great!" I exclaimed as we stepped out of the café.

"Uh-huh..." Nagito nodded along with a smile and we began to make our way to our homes.

We walked in silence with only the sound of our footsteps accompaning us.

Come on, Y/n!

Say something!

"Uh... Uhm..." I uttered out, earning the attention of the man beside me.

"What is it, Y/n?"

"Uhm..." I trailed off.

I don't have anything to say!!

"So, uhm... H-How about we g-go there again s-sometime?" I put on a smile to try and keep my cool.

Nagito widened his eyes, "You want to go there again? With me?" I nodded.

"Y-Yeah... You're really fun to be with so yeah..." I looked away from Nagito's gray-green eyes that were sparkling from happiness.

"Trash like me is fun to be with? Wow, I'm so ha-"

(Smack)

"You idiot!" I lightly hit Nagito on the back of his head, "How many times have I told you to stop referring to yourself as trash?"

"You're making me sound like a broken record, you know!" I huffed.

"Hahaha... Sorry about that N/n..." Nagito rubbed the spot where I hit him on and chuckled.

(Badump)

"N-N-N-N/N?!" I felt my cheeks beginning to burn.

Nagito panicked at my expression, "I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have called you that!-"

(Badump)

"-I was wrong to think that someone like me could call you that! Please, forgive me!"

(Badump)

I stared at the bowing male in front of me and took a deep breath to calm myself, "I-It's okay! You don't have to apologize... Y-Y-You just startled me by calling me N/n, t-that's all."

"Really?" Nagito stopped bowing and stood up properly.

"Yup," I smiled, "Now then, let's continue with our walk... It is getting a bit late," I checked my phone clock.

"18:47," It read.

"Y-Yeah... Sure..." And with that, we began to walk in comfortable silence.
