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

Chapter 16

You get up to the counter. „Thank you! How much will this be?", you ask, taking out your wallet.

Aren stuffs your wallet back into your pocket. „I'm paying.", he murmurs. „That'll be 1040 yen.", the clerk says, packing your items into a bag. Aren quickly hands the cash to the clerk, so you can't interfere.

Aren walks you out the store. „Here you go. I'll take this serving.". He hands you your box of karaage, and you open it as if it was a surprise egg. You sling them down within minutes. „So yummy!", you fawn over them. Aren is still eating his serving, smiling at your happiness. „We're almost at the school. We'll make it in time today."

Right before you walk onto the school ground, Aren pulls you back by your hand. „Can I... have one last kiss before we get to school?", he mumbles quietly. It was obvious he was flustered. You stop time and lean in for a kiss.

It makes you feel so light. Aren puts one hand on your cheek, the other around your waist, pulling you closer. You wrap your arms around his neck, letting Aren explore your mouth further. This simple kiss turned into a passionate one. You're not complaining tho, Aren was pretty good at this.

Your kiss slowly comes to an end. You gasp for air when he finally pulls away. „Hah.. next time warn me, love.", you blurt out. Aren chuckles as he buries his head in your shoulder again out of embarrassment. „I'm sorry.. I can't help myself. You're too handsome.", he mumbles, quite out of breath himself.

You slowly calm down and get ready to let time flow again. Aren tightly grabs your hand, to make sure he doesn't accidentally fall out of the timestop. His heartbeat is as vivid as ever. Right before you let time take it's natural course, you turn to your boyfriend.

„I'm glad I get to spend my life with you."

Time flows again. As you both walk towards school, a familiar voice echoes in your head.

Hurry up. Something's happening here.

You glance over at Aren. „I'm sorry, we have to hurry up. I've got a really bad feeling right now. Let's go!". You grab his hand and start sprinting to the classroom, without changing your shoes. You bust open the door. „What's going on?", you shout, as you see Saiki laying on the ground. You hurry over to his unconscious body. „Dude? What the hell?! Did you die?"

He doesn't move a finger. Stop time and put that thing back in my head as quick as possible. I hate drawing attention. He echoes. You instinctively stop time, holding onto Saiki's hand. „I got you. Stay calm, man."

You put his hairpin back into place. „Is this good like this? What happened?", you ask, helping Saiki sit up again. I'm fine. This headpiece keeps my powers under control and taking it out is disasterous. Nendou bumped into me and it fell out. I'll need to fix it again.

You sigh in relief. „I was really scared when I heard your voice. You weren't laying there for too long, were you?", you ask, sitting down on the ground next to him, still holding his hand. No. I saw it coming, but I didn't know how it would happen. I was on high alert, but Nendou is like a bug. Unpredictable. It's scary.

„Well, I'm glad you're safe, man. Let's start class."
