Losing Myself to You (Manjiro Sano x Reader)

-Chapter Seven-

"Why do I have to come?" I whine, following K̷͚͔̻̰͚͊͆̅̂ì̸͓̃̈́͜s̷͔̃͒͒̅͘ä̵̲̭̙́ḳ̶̨̪̣͙̄̒͒̚͝į̴͈̖̙͆̋̃̚͝, as we enter a small alleyway. "An advent meeting, was it?"

"Admin, it's Toman's admin meeting." He corrects me, scoffing in annoyance. "You'll enjoy it; don't worry, you won't regret it." he says with a wicked smile.

"I should be saying that to you," I mumble under my breath,

We eventually arrive at the place; it was in a corner somewhere with a giant bald guy guarding the door, opening it for us.

As we walk down a long corridor, I could hear shouting and yelling just at the end of the long walkway.

"Aren't we having fun?" K̷͚͔̻̰͚͊͆̅̂ì̸͓̃̈́͜s̷͔̃͒͒̅͘ä̵̲̭̙́ḳ̶̨̪̣͙̄̒͒̚͝į̴͈̖̙͆̋̃̚͝ says, as we enter near the entrance.

They all bow down once they see K̷̖͈̼̍ȉ̷̦̖̔̾͐ṩ̵̨̗̜̻ä̸̳̲̦̂̾k̶̨͎̻̤͕̒͠͝i̶͍͎͕̓́̉̔͗, greeting unanimously K̷͚͔̻̰͚͊͆̅̂ì̸͓̃̈́͜s̷͔̃͒͒̅͘ä̵̲̭̙́ḳ̶̨̪̣͙̄̒͒̚͝į̴͈̖̙͆̋̃̚͝ and I, except for one. Takemichi.

He gives K̶͚̥̆͛i̸̧͈̔̋̆͠s̵̑͌̓͋ͅͅa̷̘͗̆k̸̨͓͊̌͐͂i̶̖̍̋͜ a long, hard stare before bowing like the rest of them.

"Enough with the stiff formality, guys!" K̷͚͔̻̰͚͊͆̅̂ì̸͓̃̈́͜s̷͔̃͒͒̅͘ä̵̲̭̙́ḳ̶̨̪̣͙̄̒͒̚͝į̴͈̖̙͆̋̃̚͝ grins, smiling his fake smile at everyone.

"You don't usually show up for our admin meetings, K̷̖͈̼̍ȉ̷̦̖̔̾͐ṩ̵̨̗̜̻ä̸̳̲̦̂̾k̶̨͎̻̤͕̒͠͝i̶͍͎͕̓́̉̔͗-san" H̷͎̾̇̓ả̷̳̪̂n̷̫̻̺̅̓̅̀̇m̵͖̆̉̄͑͋a̷̢̼̞̪͆ states.

"I've got some minor business to deal with." He starts, and looks over to Takemichi, whose face is covered in confusion.

"Takemichi, C̴̢̢̤̅͑h̵̨̡̬͙̓̀͆͌i̶̢͙̭̙͍̽̋f̶̢͈͈̳̌͒̓͆͛ų̶͓͚̋y̵̮̩̌̊̈́̌ų̸̂͘." he begins, "Could I have a moment of your time?"

I quietly wait outside the room where Ķ̷̘̓̊i̶̳̙͓͖̞͂́́̂̚s̸̭͚̺̆͐å̵̢̯̝̍̐̉k̷̤͈̤͗̃̓i̵̟͕̗̣̽̋̓͋̌ held his "business", waiting for a certain someone to show up.

But as I waited for him to come, I heard gunshots fired inside the room.

"Hey, I'm here." K̵̪̐̋a̸͍̩̋̉̊͂̑z̷̮̲͠ù̶̧̨͍̩̪́̄̽͂ț̴̱͈̐̄o̸̗̟̤̲̅̏̽r̴̡̪̗̩̍ą̵̳̙̅͊͘͝ says, as he arrives.

"You're late," I state monotonously.

"Haha, sorry Y̶̨͉̮̮͐́̒͝/̷̫͎̆̓n̶̖͙̒̓̕-chan. I didn-" he begins to apologize,

"I heard gunshots, so you've got to hurry. They might be in trouble." I hurriedly say, cutting him off.

"But Y̶̨͉̮̮͐́̒͝/̷̫͎̆̓n̶̖͙̒̓̕-chan, you sure you don't want to come with?" he asks once last time.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I've got someone I have to stay with." I smile softly at him, seeing the disappointment in his eyes.

"Okay then. Goodbye, Y̶̨͉̮̮͐́̒͝/̷̫͎̆̓n̶̖͙̒̓̕-chan." He salutes, but turns back again and says, "Oh, and thanks. I won't forget what you've done."

"Yeah, no problem." I say, waving back at him. "Just don't die on me, like the rest of them," I whisper to myself under my breath, as I watch him leave.
