Childhood 'Friends'? - Baji x F!Reader

' 𝟷𝟽: Curiosities '

After your mothers stopped having a laughing fit, you all went over to Mitsuya's house since his sisters called him from their iPad saying they wanted something to eat, and there weren't anything else they could make on their own. Takemichi came to you curious. "Y/N.." he paused. "Yes?"

"From best to worst.. who would be considered the cutest to you?" He asked shyly. You shrugged, "Well, none of you are exactly ugly or unattractive. You're all pretty boys," you smiled softly.

You watched his face get a little red, "Wait, really?"

"Mhmm. There's no reason for me to rate or place you on pedestals, you all are pretty."

"Well.. who's more likely to get in a relationship with you?" He asked.
You looked at him sideways, "What're you gettin' at?"

"I-I'm just curious after what happened earlier!" He stuttered out. You smiled, "Fine, fine." You took a minute to think, "Does it have to be a certain amount or one person?" You asked. He hummed, "It can be up to three or four."

"Baji, Mitsuya, Kazutora and Chifuyu." You said boldly, "In that order."

You smiled as he hummed, "What about least likely?"

"Hm. Probably Hakkai or you. From most likely to least, I'd say Draken, you, then Hakkai." You watched as he walked off humming, "Interesting,"

You looked at him sideways before shrugging. You walked outside and saw Yuzuha laughing at Emma who was a blushing mess.

You walked toward them, "What's going on?"

You watched as Emma struggled to catch her breath, "Draken- he-" she stuttered, failing to get the proper words out. Yuzuha took over, beginning to explain the situation. "K so we were sitting on the ground playing truth or dare," she sighed, remembering the memory. "And Draken came behind her and told her she left her phone in the kitchen-"

"He saw the wallpaper I had for my lock screen!" Emma yelped, completely embarrassed.

"Well.. what was your wallpaper?" You then question.

"A picture of Draken when Shinichiro took us to an amusement park," she explained, showing you her lock screen.

"Why is this a bad thing?" You questioned.

"Because he told me he liked it..." she whined.

You looked at her sideways. "Alright, y'know what," you sighed, grabbing her by the wrist. You pulled her toward to house with Yuzuha following close behind.

"Ryuguji Ken!" You called out, looking for him.
He looked at you confused, "Ma'am?"

"It's the 'Ma'am?' For me!" Mikey laughed. You pushed Emma towards him. "Speak." Was all you said as you dragged everybody else out the room.

"Out, out." You sighed.
"Heyy! What'd I do??" Mitsuya questioned.
"You know how Draken is, now shoo." You shushed him.

You looked back at Draken and Emma. You pointed at them. You knew they knew what you were talking about, and you knew they were going to play dumb.

You'll lock them in a room together if needed, you were just tired of Emma being a hopeless romantic and Draken hiding every other emotion.

Once you got everybody outside, including yourself, you figured it'd probably be a while until somebody said something. Which is where the magnificent idea to lock everything came from.

You already knew Mitsuya kept the windows locked and secured, so all that was left was the back and front door.

You went ahead and locked them, and walked back to your friends. "Alright, we're going to my house." You announced.

"And how do you suppose we get there?" Yuzuha questioned.

"We walk, what else?" You rolled your eyes as they all groaned.

"Yeah.. I'm not walking, I'll just sit here." Yuzuha sighed, sitting on the picnic table.

"I'd rather ride a bike." Smiley complained. "Then you can ride a lil bike, and I'll walk so I'm not put at risk for dogs chasing me."

He looked at you sideways, "You wrong for that."

"Oh c'mon, you know Princess loves you." You teased. Smiley turned away from you, crossing his arms. "That damn pit bull gonna get kicked one day."

"'Hoya!" You gasped. He shrugged, "It's old anyway."

"You wrong for that." You sighed, facepalming.

"I have a feeling we shouldn't let Smiley around dogs animals anymore." Takemichi said, concerned.

"No, no. I love animals, jus not that dog in particular." Smiley assured.

You sighed, "Can we just go?" You groaned, "Those two are going to take a while."

"I'm still concerned about you leaving them in the house alone." Mitsuya sighed. "They'll be fine." You assured.

With that, you all began walking back to your house. Occasional games and little shoving occurred. Every once in a while you messed with Smiley and Mitsuya a bit, just seeking a little bit of attention. And as Mitsuya would usually find it funny how you'd chase him or try to hit him, his smile seemed a bit off.

Only because he saw something you didn't: Baji was watching you all the while.

Not like he was mad about it. If anything, he was glad you could get along with his friends. He loved the way you played with them, always goofing around and practicing with one another.

"Baji-San?" Takemichi looked up at him.

Baji was snapped out of his trans, making eye contact with Takemichi. "Eh?"

"Why're you always looking at Y/N?" He asked sheepishly.
"Force of habit—"
"It ain't no 'force of habit', you love her, admit it." Smiley interfered.
"I do not." Baji rolled his eyes.
"We all know it, Baji." Smiley assured. However, Baji only sighed and looked away from the peach haired boy.
"Are you afraid she wouldn't feel the same way?" Mitsuya questioned, still keeping an eye on you.
"No!" Baji hissed, watching as Mitsuya dodged an incoming attack.

"I dunno how he does it," Takemichi said, watching in awe.
"I woulda fucked around an accidentally hit her." Smiley agreed.

Baji simply shrugged, "You get used to it after a while."
"You mean.. she did that often?" Takemichi asked surprised.
Baji nodded, "All the time.. she caught Mikey and I practicing once and ever since she been imitating me."
"So.. that mean she fight like you?" Smiley asked.
"I dunno.. never seen her mad enough to actually full on fight," he sighed, "As hot headed she can be, she's never fought. Not once."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Takemichi asked.
"She almost got in a fight with our neighbor once." Baji informed, "Got close to choking her if I hadn't noticed she went outside."

"What do you mean 'close'?" Takemichi asked again.

"I heard her yelling and once I got out there she was on the ground, choking her." he sighed. He heard distant giggling and weight jumping onto him.
"Whatcha talkin' about??" You asked curious.
"That one time you almost committed murder," Baji groaned, "And get off me!"

"I didn't almost commit murder!" You argued, reaching your hand into his pocket and taking his pocketknife, "But we can always make that 'almost' go away," a wide grin growing on your face.

"Nope, nope, nope," Baji said, stopping and prying you off his back. "And give me that, you damn mouse." He sighed.
You stuck your tongue out at him, "Bet you can't get me," you teased, grabbing his house keys from his other pocket.

"Damn it, you fucking pick pocket!" He growled, chasing after you. You grinned, climbing up a tree and standing on a high branch. "Y/N, get down from there," Baji sighed, looking up at you. "Nah," you grinned, "Catch me!"
