GuP : How It Feels To Be Loved (Male Reader x Miho)

Ace's High

"and that's the last of them." Izumi said as he puts down the box of ammunitions next to a giant pile of the exact same boxes, he wiped the sweat out of his face and turned back to face nonother than Miho's crew who was lounging around on top of their panzer IV

"you guys didn't helped at all, even though im a rookie you cant do this to me, god damn..." Izumi pouted, they all chuckled to see this angry short japanese boy who was moving boxes of blank ammunitions earlier

"Oh c'mon cheer up Izumi!"

"Thanks for the encouragement Yukari but that's not going to fix my sore arms" Izumi scoffed, he sat and lay down on the pile of boxes while fidgeting with a stray tennis ball he found. He then looked towards the girls who were chatting with eachother

"So what do you guys do during the weekends?" He asked as he threw the ball. Yukari catches the ball and softly laughed to herself

"Well.. we usually go shopping or mess around in the tank shed. And also we could train a little during the weekends!~" yukari answered

"Well if that's the case, Izu-san do you want to join us?" Hana added, Izumi studders and stammers at the question.

"u-uh uhm.. maybe.." he said quietly while shyly looking away,

yukari shooked her head and sighs. After a moment yukari noticed Saori scrolling through her social media, she was looking at tank commander and crews from the other school, looks like they have a lot of following online.

"Woah, those are all aces!"

"Yup! They're very famous, i love them~ so yukari, do yiu have a favourite?" Saori asks

"Uhmmm its hard to decide.." she pouted to herself, yukari then looked towards Izumi who was snoozing out, she clapped her hands, grabbing his attention

"Hey Izumi! Do you have a favourite commander or ace?"

"Well I'd say Miho, b-but if im being honest im a fan of that one Jatkosota guy, forgot his name but he was nicknamed the snow devil or something. Ironic since his tac name is Saint," he muttered

"Oh, Kolinsky was it? I personally agree! He's a very skilled guy~"

"Oh yeah! That's his name. Man, i wish i could be like him but its better to be yourself i guess."

"Wise words there. Anyways, all of us dont even have tac names! We've been calling eachothers by our real names for like.. forever!"

"Huh, wait how long have you guys been in tankery?"

"A year and a half, I think."

"hmpf, decent. oh wait- where's that black haird girl that sleeps most of the times.. swear I've seen her here." As Izumi said this they all hear soft breathing and snoring echoing below the hulls, they all chuckled and it eventually died down.

"So! Any ideas for nicknames?"

"Bush, Because your head looks like one." Izumi laughed and soon followed by a direct hit from yukari to his head. "Yours looks like one too! I bed a crow nests itself there!" Yukari pouted, everyone continues to laugh, meanwhile saori was looking at Izumi's hair and she slowly moves over her hand closer and closer and..

*Pat*

Izumi blushed red as he felt the sudden touch

*Pat, pat*

"Its so fluffy!" Saori yelled out,

"y-yeah" yukari eventually followed

"You wouldn't mind.." and then hana.

*Pat, pat, ruffles*

As this shenanigan insues, miho had gotten back to the tank shed and the first thing she saw was this. Her jaw dropped to the floor and a moment later she snapped out of it and intervened.

"W-WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!" miho yelled while seriously blushing

"i-i dont mind.." Izumi replied, everyone eventually stopped while giggling to themselves

"fufu~ Sorry that your boyf-"

"h-he's NOT!" Miho pushed saori's comment back, miho then walked towards Izumi and smirked,

"w-what were you doing? Haha~" she chuckled to herself, she put her hand on his shoulders as Izumi blushes while looking away "that was stupid.." he whispered under his breath, Miho then noticed Izumi's hands, it was covered in scratches...

"Oh my, Izumi are you okay?"

"Oh- what? Oh! I think i got scratched up a little when i was moving those boxes, it stings a little but its-" Izumi stopped himself as he sees Miho bandaging his hands, she finishes up and tied it neatly, Izumi then moved and fidgets his hands around. The bandage was tied so neatly he couldn't even felt the stingy pain. The others stood in shock and after that they smiled at the pair

Izumi nervously looked towards her, Miho softly smiles. Izumi follows soothe with a small smile coming from him, "(miho...)" He thought to himself, suddenly the driver hatch swung open and a girl popped out of it, "mhm what did i... Miss...?" Mako muttered, everyone laughed seeing the half awake mako and as the day, came to an end...

-timeskip-

Miho and Izumi was walking besides eachother, they both akwardly looked away from eachother, miho then slowly moved her hands closer towards Izumi's.
Izumi then gripped her hands and conjoined both of their hands to a handhold which made both of them blushed...

"s-so miho, how's it going?"

"hah.. its all good.."

"I just remembered, you are the younger sister of Nishizumi Maho right? You're both aces i assume"

"Well, aces could have a lot of meaning you know~" Izumi looked on with confusion while she said this

"You two doesn't seem that close to me, something's wrong?"

"Well i got into a feud but.. its all good now, no need to worry.." miho said as he points her head into the ground

"Well that's good, you have an atleast good relation with her.. if you have anything in your mind you could tell me! Im here,"

Miho smiles at Izumi who reassured her, the sun was setting and they finally said farewells to eachother, Izumi sighs as he saw Miho left rhe school. He really owed her a lot.. actually, she's a good influence over his life. He had fixed his unhealthy lifestyle, got more social and he's less of a pathetic shut in now.

"Thanks.." Izumi muttered while he looked towards his bandaged palms
