Another Chance | Aki x Reader

15: "Hey Aki... Thank you."

"That guy was flirting with you," Aki says harshly.

You scoff, "Mh is that so, is that an issue for you? I was under the assumption he was being friendly." you responded wittily.

"Yeh being extra friendly to you... I know Madoka, trust me, you won't like him," he says, looking at you.

"Well, I guess that's for me to decide, don't you think?" you retort, "Power carry Aki, I'm getting tired." you teased, as you tried to take his arm off you.

"But I don't want to; he's too heavy!" Power remarks lazily, pushing Aki towards you.

"Hey..." Aki turned to Power. "I don't weigh that much," he responds in a hurt tone. "Plus, I much rather have you carry me," he spoke, giving a small glance towards you.

You raised an eye at Aki, you certainly took notice of his change of attitude, but you took it as him just being drunk. "I mean,  I don't see what's so special about me, but to each their own," you say, shrugging your shoulders, placing Aki's arm back onto you.

"Just cause' you don't see it doesn't mean you aren't unique... You like to place a harsh lens on yourself." he says softly, looking at you with sincerity. He meant the words that came out of his mouth; he did think you were an interesting person with a riveting background. He believed that he shouldn't grow strong affection towards anyone, considering he wouldn't be alive for long if he kept working as a devil hunter. Before that, the thought didn't faze him. He was only focused on killing the Gun Devil; however, with the short amount of time he has known you, he wanted to grow closer with you, as crazy as it sounds. So the fact that he had these feelings towards you meant that you indeed had to be remarkable.  

 You were blushing and blushing hard. "Did he really just say that to me?!" you questioned. It didn't help that he looked at you with those green doe-eyes. No one really told you that you were special, so you were unsure how to accept that compliment. You were grateful that the street was dark, and he couldn't see your reddening cheeks and ears. 

Your's and Aki's conversation just weirded out Power. But she tried to ignore it and walked further from you guys. 

You, on the other hand, turn your head away from him, you try to revert the conversation to Power's comment, "You also shouldn't let Power's comments get to you, she's a consistent liar, so she didn't mean that. You're not heavy, trust me, I'm carrying you right now aren't I." you chuckled as Aki smiled at your comment.

Power turned around and started walking backward, "I'm not lying. I mean it." Power smirked.

"Power, stop trying to bring down this poor man!" you giggled, smacking her lighting on her arm. "Also, catch the keys." you tossed the keys to Power, and she opened the door to the apartment. You lead Aki to his room, but you turn to Power before entering. "Good night, Power, I hope you sleep well."

"Good night y/n..." Power said softly, carrying moewy to her room.

"Say good night to Aki as well..." you yell.

"Good night Aki!" Power yelled back.

"You know you don't have to make them say good night to me, right," Aki spoke, the drunken blush still crept on his face.

"I know, but I think it would be a good habit for them to get, Now c'mon big guy, let's help ya get to bed." You enter his bedroom, hanging your bag on his doorknob and leading him to his bed. You try to set him on his bed slowly but accidentally slip, leading both you and Aki to fall on the side of his bed. You were on top of him, only a few inches from his face. You can smell the booze oozing from his lips. You stared into his eyes, and you never noticed how beautiful the color of his eyes was. They memorized you and reminded you of a calming green woodland. Both you and Aki were turning into blushing messes. After a while, it finally settled in that you were in a compromising position on Aki and instantly got off from him. You cleared your throat to save yourself from the embarrassment. You head over to Aki's cabinets to search for some comfortable clothing for him. Aki just kept his eyes on you; he missed the closeness he had with you, the warmth he felt over his body.
