This Feeling (Takeru 'Juggernaut' Noto X Reader)

Chapter Seven

"Stop messing with your shirt!" Maki huffed and tugged at my hair she was holding in her hand, "I swear even a little bit of nervousness enters you you start messing with your clothes. You look fine so calm down."

I bit my lip and look down at the outfit I was wearing. A grey long sleeve shirt under a (color) tee-shirt. My legs looked longer in my frayed shorts accompanied by a pair of flat sandals Iris lent me. Currently, Maki was doing my hair. She was weaving the (Color) strands in patterns while tacking them in place with bobby pins.

"You look lovely," Iris smiled from her spot beside us, she held out a pin which Maki took, "I think we agreed on a good outfit."

"I'm just glad for the help," I looked over towards Iris but yelped as Maki yanked me back in place, "Why so rough!?"

"You have done nothing but move since you started getting ready," Maki sighed and placed another piece into the bun she had been making at the back of my head.

"I-I'm nervous,"

"Well, i don't think one of the daughters of the Eighth needs to go on a date!" Obi had been huffing about the office once he heard about my going out with Hajiki and Takeru, "It's two guys!"

"Captain, you realize (F/N), Maki, and Iris are all adults right?" Shinra commented from his desk, "and why do you have to do her hair here?"

"More room to move around her," Maki explained then put her hands on her hips, "There! Perfect!"

I glanced at the handheld mirror Iris had thrust into my hands. My hair was bound in intricate braids that met into the bun at the back. Maki had loosened some hair to make the style look more natural than forced. A Whisp of hair framed my face. 

"Captain Obi, We are just friends anyways," I explained as I put the mirror down on the desk, "He doesn't see me any different than he does his squadmates."

"I still don't like it though," Obi huffed and turned away from us.

"It's because he wants to keep you girls, all to the Eighth," Arthur spoke from his desk.

"That's very kind Captain," Sister Ira cupped her hands in front of her.

"(F/N), you should head soon if you want to meet them on time," Maki reminded me while glancing at her watch, "It's close to time."

I glanced at the wall clock and gasped. I would have to hurry if I wanted to make it there on time. I jumped from my seat and headed towards the door. I quickly said goodbye and bounded out the door and to the steps. 

In minutes, I was out on the street and rushing towards Minato ward. It wasn't far from the Eighth as it was from the Second. I had thankfully made it on time where we had decided to meet. I was waiting for about ten minutes before I caught sight of Takeru's taller figure and his smaller squadmate Hajiki. 

Takeru was looking around trying to find me in the crowd. He had dressed comfortably. A light green tee-shirt that showed how slim he was. His pants were normal jeans tucked into his combat boots. Hajiki on the other hand didn't even try. He wore his military-like uniform. 

"Takeru! Hajiki!" I shouted out and waved in the air as I called out to them.

Takeru noticed me first. His thin gaze widened a little bit as they made their way towards me. Hajiki bumped into Takeru and whispered something towards him before they stopped in front of me. 

"You look so cute!" Hajiki grinned and pushed Takeru next to me, who stumbled but straightened himself beside me, "Before things start I got something I want to say...  Inspecting mirrors is a job I could really see myself doing."
