Kamado X Male Reader (18+) ~ A Kimono For A Special Night

Is This A Date ?

The next day, you finished your work at the shop early. The whole time you were humming and smiling. Hours before the festival, you informed Anthe you were leaving but before you darted off she wanted to talk to you.

Anthe: "You're going to the Commander's place ?"

You: "Yes, I need to help him with something."

Anthe: "Alright, you seem pretty happy about it. Come to think of it, you seem a lot happier these days.

You: "Do I ?"

Anthe: "Yes you smile a lot more. Say, does this have something to do with the Commander ?"

You: "Whaat ?"

Anthe: "Oh don't look at me like that ! He's still quite handsome for his age, I don't blame you."

You: "Ugh Anthe, please stop talking. And he's not that old."

Anthe: "Ahah whatever (Y/N), you're a grown man now, you can do what you want."

You: "Yeah okay, see you at the festival."

You waved at her and walked away. Was it this obvious that something was going on between you and Kamado, even to other people who had barely seen you together ? At the end of the day you didn't really care. You were only concerned about what Kamado thought of you. You could hardly read him, his emotions were concealed behind his stern face most of the time. You could only hope he was as excited to see you again as you were, walking down the main street. The village was decorated for the festival and merchants were already setting up stands for the evening. Here you were, in front of the stairs that led to the Galaxy Hall, the highest and most imposing building of Jubilife Village. You only had ever gone here a few times to deliver clothes when you were younger. You stepped inside, not really knowing who to ask for directions when you saw a familiar face. It was Pesselle, the Captain of Galaxy Team's Medical Corps. The pink-haired woman was often seen in the streets tending to villagers' wounds. She really cared about everyone, not just Galaxy Team members and she was well-liked by everyone.

You: "Hello Miss Pesselle !"

Pesselle: "Good afternoon sir, can I help you with anything ? You look a bit lost."

You: "Yes actually ! I was wondering if you could show me the way to Commander Kamado's office."

Pesselle: "Commander Kamado ? Oh I'm sorry but he can't see you today."

You: "Is it because of his wrist ? Is he feeling better ?"

Pesselle: "Yes it is sprained but thankfully he should recover just fine. But wait ... how do you know about his injury ?"

You: "Well I was with him when he hurt his wrist last night. I'm glad it's not too bad. Can I see him ?"

Pesselle: "That's an unusual request I must say ... the Commander doesn't see many people and he has very few friends. I don't think anyone outside of Galaxy Team has ever asked to see him. Oh but wait you must be ..."

You: "I'm (Y/N). Kamado asked me to be here today."

Pesselle: "That's right, (Y/N) ! You're the one he was talking about !"

You: "He was talking about me ?"

Pesselle: "When he came to me to heal his wrist I had to numb his pain with an anesthetic and he started talking. The Commander is a man of few words but last night he couldn't stop telling me about this (Y/N) he had met, that he was coming tomorrow and that he would invite him to the festival. It was very funny."
