🐬 Mushroom Hat [Jade X Reader]

Hi, I'm (Y/N). I like to study mycology, a branch of biology that involves the study of all sorts of fungi. You could say I'm obsessed with mushrooms especially. Even my room has a little mushroom corner for me to admire. I've even a bunch of books on them too. My "mushroom partner" would be Jade Leech, one of the Leech twins. We became friends due to our shared love for mushrooms and I'm also in the Mountain Lovers Club. What's more fun than going outside and looking for more mushrooms? It's the best feeling ever.

Today was going to be another day that we'll go out hiking again. This meant that I could wander off and find mushrooms like I usually do. This time however, I've decided to bring a little surprise gift for Jade since I may or may not like him through the time we spent together talking about fungi and going on "dates" hiking in the mountains.

At the current moment, I'm sitting down on a log in the middle of the forest waiting for Jade to arrive. It's unusual for him to be late though...since he's always been looking forward to every outing we have. After a few more minutes I heard footsteps behind me.

"(Y/N)! I finally made it." Jade exclaimed as he let out a huge sigh, catching his breath. Geez he must've really ran hard since he has sweat dripping down his face. However I'm not gonna lie, he looks attractive like that while wearing his hiking outfit.

"Yes, yes you did. What took so long?"

"Azul needed some extra help since there was an increase in the amount of customers at Mostro Lounge." Jade spoke, apologizing to me for the inconvenience.

"Ohhhh I see....welp no problem. Let's go!" I grabbed a hold of his hand and led him through the forest. He staggered a bit with a slight blush on his face but I'll choose to ignore that hehe.

Eventually I let go of his hand though walked besides each other instead. We came across a few common mushrooms and took a few photos of them before moving on. We eventually came across a small pond somewhere in the middle of the forest. The sun reflected brightly on the clear blue water and the grass seemed even greener and richer here. This interested both me and Jade as we both shared a passion for exploring nature.

I looked over at Jade and saw his face staring directly at the pond. The sun hitting him was such an attractive sight that I just stared at him. He's mesmerizing...He looked over at me which caused me to look away feeling flustered.

Jade's POV

I felt someone staring at me and concluded that it was just (Y/N) as they were the only person with me right now. I could tell they were admiring me and honestly, it felt nice. I've been admired by others a lot but (Y/N) admiring me made me feel shy. I looked over at them when I noticed that they tried to play it off by looking away. Pfft how adorable. I looked at their eyes and the sparkle in them due to the water's image reflecting off their eyes. Of all our outings, this might be the most enjoyable one ever. I smiled and decided to look around at the environment, noticing something in the water. The silhouette looked like a mushroom's.

"Hey, (Y/N)...is that?" I pointed into the water where the silhouette resided.

"Hm? Oh!"

Your POV

"Hm? Oh!" I frantically ran towards the silhouette. Could it be? I quickly took my shoes off, rolled my pants up and stepped into the water. Jade followed after me, but not getting into the water, only standing right behind me. As I got closer to the silhouette, I recognized what it was. It's basically the only species of true, gilled mushroom that lives in the water.

"WOOO!" I suddenly yelled out in a high pitched tone, startling Jade.

"W-What?"

"It's a Psytherella Aquatica!" I said as I carefully extracted it and showed Jade.

"Ohh...interesting. I didn't know that mushrooms grew under water." He bent down and looked at it closely, examining it.

"Teehee, how about we bring it back with us to study? I mean there is another type of mushroom that lives under the water but we're glad to even find this!" I quickly brought my bag next to me over and took out a jar. Scooping water into it, I then put the mushroom inside. I literally cannot contain my excitement right now.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, (Y/N)." Jade smiled softly as helped me get out of the water by holding my hand. Why does this feel like a gentleman helping his companion step off of a carriage? I started blushing a bit but I quickly hid it.

"W-well, I think we should be go back now, it's almost sunset." I spoke to Jade while packing all of my and carefully placing the jar in one of the pouches on the bag.

"Yes, we should get back and put the mushroom somewhere." Jade packed his stuff as well and we started to walk back to NRC.

•Time Skip•

In the club room, I put the mushroom on one of the shelves. Jade helped me by moving a few plants to another shelf and also unpacking all the equipment. Just as I finished, I remembered the surprise that was intended for Jade.

"Hey, Jade."

"Yes, (Y/N)?" He looked back towards me while hanging out bags on the hook.

"I have something for you, hang on a sec." I ran to my backpack and brought out a large hat.

"...What is that?" Jade only stared at it in astonishment.

"It's a mushroom hat! See?" I went over to him so that he could see it clearly. He was still shocked at it so I decided to put it on him. Only, he was way too tall. "Jade, please bend down a little." I went on my toes but it still wasn't enough to reach him. How tall is this man goodness.

"Hmm... alright." He smirked and bent down, his face now right in front of me. If there is something even redder than tomatoes then it should be my face right now because now I'm really blushing. I quickly put the hat on him and made sure that it wouldn't fall off.

"Alright, done..." I finished, fully aware that Jade was staring at me the whole time. I looked at him and saw that he still had his smirk on, looking like he's planning something.

"(Y/N)..." In that moment he quickly brought his face forward and pecked my lips. When he stood up again he looked down at me and said a "Thank you" in a sing-song voice. He then winked at me and then left, leaving me just standing there with my mouth agape because he basically just confessed, no?

Jade's POV

...I really just did that huh. Ahhhhhh... I slowly started to blush as I continued to walk back to Mostro Lounge, brushing my hair back with my hand. The things that you do to me, (Y/N), you drive me absolutely fucking insane. As I continued my way back, I thought of ways to maybe finally ask them out next time.

Once I arrived at Mostro Lounge, I went to the kitchen first and spotted Floyd with his back leaning on the counter, looking at his phone.

"Hello Floyd." He looked up.

"Oh, hey Ja- AH! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING ON YOUR HEAD?!" He took a double glance at me, pointing a finger at the "thing" on my head with a look of fear(I mean, Floyd doesn't like mushrooms so it makes sense). Oh yeah, (Y/N) put a mushroom hat on me.

"Oh! It's a mushroom hat." I responded with a closed-eye smile.

"...what?"

End Notes:
Heheheheh I can imagine Jade looking very cute in a mushroom hat like- This man's obsession with fungi is so adorable. It's even more funny when he interacts with Floyd about mushrooms lmao. I got an Azul fic next so I can finally finish the Octa-Trio, then I can move on to probably Savanaclaw. I mean, my To-Write list has Leona after Azul so yeah.
