World Of Despair (Owari No Seraph x Reader)

Chapter 2

A/N: I personally think there is something fanfics tend to leave out. It's not something that makes a story bad, it's more of a pet peeve of mine. That little thing is the language barrier. That being said, from now on character lines in italic (this excludes internal monologues or thoughts) will be in Japanese, while the ones in normal text will be in English. Thanks for understanding and enjoy your reading!

Your vision was blurry as you finally woke up from your slumber. Still tired and confused you looked around you. A nice white blanket covered your body as you layed in a bed. You were in a hospital room. Next to you there was a nightstand on witch you could see a plastic yellow rose. Oh, someone brought you a flower, how nice!

The sudden realisation hit you.

How did I get here?!

You sat up a little too fast and you got dizzy for a moment. That moment gave the silver haired stranger in the bed next to you the opportunity to speak.

"Oh, you're awake! I must say I'm surprised! I really thought you wouldn't make it!"

...

Bruh.

Leaving aside the fact that you didn't understand a word of what he just said, you couldn't believe who you were seeing in front of you.

No.

Nah, there's no way.

You're bluffing.

"Oh, silly me! You must be really confused, mustn't you? I am Shinya Hiiragi, pleased to meet you! Promise I won't bite!"

...

Bruh.

Did... Did you hear that right? Shinya Hiiragi? The Shinya Hiiragi?

No.

Nah, there's no way.

You're bluffing.

"Are you alright?"

There he was
Shinya Hiiragi, the Shinya Hiiragi, in flesh and bones, in the bed next to yours, in a hospital, smiling at you, talking to you.

Oh, God, you are dead, aren't you? Yep, that's it! You're dead and this is all your brains bluffing before it completely shuts down! This is the only reasonable explanation!

You glanced at him once more. He was still smiling at you, probably waiting for a reply to the question he just asked. Damn you for not taking Japanese lessons! What are you going to do now, hm?

Here goes nothing.

"I don't speak Japanese."

Silence. It was so awkward! Why isn't he speaking? He's not smiling anymore either!

Did my brain finally crash down? Am I gonna see the light now? Please make it quick, it's so awkward now!

You tried to cover yourself with the blanket and make yourself small. Why won't God have mercy on you?!

"Hey, could you speak again maybe I'll figure what language you're... Ah, wait, you don't understand me." he gasped. "That means I can ask you anything! Hey, do you think Guren eats shit?"

What in God's name was he asking you about Guren? You remained perplexed for a moment, not knowing what to answer.

"I... I don't know!" you said defeated.

"Is that English? I think it's English!" he pouted. "I don't know English."

He looked at you smiling again. His smile is way creepier when you don't understand what he's saying. While you stayed there, nervous and confused, he tried to remember the few words in English he heard on TV and other stuff. Goshi seemed like he knew some of it, maybe he would help.
