QUIRKY! Vol. 2 (MHAxReader)

S4 Part 31 - Tentacool

"Oh, fudge," you blurted out.

The two of you stood, mirroring each other's shock and stillness. You weren't expecting this, although, this is karma for walking out in the open. Your mouth hung open, at a complete loss of what else to say.

"H-Hey?" You winced at your own awkwardness.

Tamaki blinked, "What are you doing here? E-Everyone is still looking for you..."

For a socially terrified human, trembling in his heroic attire, he was really adorable. You really did have a thing for that indigo hair color, huh?

"Yeah?" You said stupidly, a sweat drop rolling off your forehead, "Uh, look, Amajiki. There's a really weird and long explanation for this."

"Okay..." he mumbled. You thought that was it, and somehow he was just going to be chill with it, but then, you felt him taking your hand. He cleared his throat and tried his best to sound in charge, "Let's go, then."

Tamaki turned around, not making eye contact, but keeping your hand in a death-grip. Oh, shit? He's arresting me - or saving me, whatever this is?

"Wait!" You knew you could overpower him but you didn't want to draw even more attention, "Can we stop for a second!"

"No..."

"I just need to say something!"

"Say something when we get you back to UA."

"I don't think they want me back there..." you protested.

Tamaki sighed and pulled you both over to the side, away from pedestrian traffic. His gaze from beneath his visor was surprisingly stern, and you felt like the nervous bean in the situation.

"That's not true," he said, "Sure, you're probably in trouble... but I know you'll be safe there. Why are you out here, (Y/N)? If you escaped you should have found someone right away."

"I haven't - well - see," you laughed, "I haven't escaped exactly. I mean, I'm not exactly a hostage? What is the definition of kidnapping, anyway... I feel like it's become a gray area."

"Taken against your will..." he frowned, "Which is exactly what I don't want to end up doing. So, explain to me what's going on."

"Like I said, it's a long story," you were shutting down, feeling too many things at once. Heller's scent was still heavy on his jacket, telling you to run back, Tamaki's worried eyes scanned you for answers, and you weren't sure what Botan would do if he followed.

"I have time," Tamaki reassured.

I don't think we do...

You checked behind you for that white-haired henchmen, and jerked back around to deliver the story as quickly as possible. You weren't going to lie because it seemed pointless, but you hoped you could get him to understand. If not then, guess you were done for.

And, worst case scenario, pheromones could get you out of this.

"You're with the cult?" Tamaki's worried eyes widened, "And you really think you can stop them on your own..?"

"I am their 'queen,' so I hear," you snorted, "Once I can boss them around, I don't see why I couldn't take them down."

"I see... still," he hadn't let go of your hand, and you wondered if he thought you were going to run for it, "It's too dangerous for one person. We can get help. Do this right."
