Losing track of time with aren kuboyasu (m!reader x aren kuboyasu)

Chapter 4

You pull back and gasp for air. „I did not expect that.", you whisper. Aren's face is red, you could feel his soft breath on your nose. „You're right. I do like you. A lot. Too much. I.. I can't explain it." he backs off. „I'm sorry. I-I couldn't hold back." his voice cracks.

You stand up and push him against the wall. You were only slightly shorter than him, so it works out. „You sly fucker. Going and stealing my first kiss like that."

He avoids eye contact while flustered. „This.. this is all new to me. Give me a second." you back off and sit down on the bed. „If we don't go back soon, the teacher's gonna get upset.", you mumble.

„Okay. I'm ready. Let's go." his face is back to normal, but had a slightly red tint to his cheeks. You use your last minute of time stopping to calm down. I just seriously did that. I basically confessed my feelings st this point, you think to yourself. As time starts flowing again, right before aren opens the door again, you give him a kiss on the cheek again. „We can stargaze on the roof tonight. I know a way.", you whisper into his ear.

- after awkward class stop staring at each other smh -

„I'm sorry Kaidou, I can't walk home today, I gotta do something before I can leave. You go home without me.", you overhear Aren talking to Kaidou. „Aw, take care man." Kaidou leaves without a word. Aren taps you on the shoulder. „Meet me on the roof.", he whispers.

- on the roof -

„I need to talk to you.", Aren closes the door to the roof behind him. „It's.. important for you to know."

„You can tell me anything. I mean, we did kiss after all-" you get cut off. Aren is hugging you tightly. „Don't tell a soul. Please." „I won't. I promise."

„I.. used to be a gang leader. Both my parents were, and I'm trying to leave my past behind me. However, some of my past enemies are tracking me down to kill me. So I want you to know this before you make your decision to stay with me."

Your eyes widen. Aren? A gang leader? The same guy that offered you friendship the second you arrived at this school? You were at a loss of words.

„I still like you. Aren, will you go out with me?"
Without a second thought, you asked him out.

„Wait. You're not scared at all? They might come after you!", he scoffs. „Please, think about it." you pull him close. „I'm sure. I know I don't look like it, but I can throw a punch. And you're with me, after all. You've got my back, right?"

You kiss him on his lips softly. „Aren Kuboyasu, we've barely known each other for a day. This is all going way too fast, but will you go out with me?"

He gulps. With a smile, he finally gets a word out. „I will."
