Nyctophilia (Baji x Reader)

Chapter 8

Baji's POV

Baji was sitting in a small cafe with Mikey, Draken, Mitsuya, and Chifuyu.

they were all eating some different types of pastries, while Baji talked on about your run-in with the group of guys the other night.

"i didn't see her fight, but when i got there the guys were all on the ground and she only had a bloody nose; it was crazy!" he thought back to your laid back demeanour after the fight, and a small smile graced his lips.

the rest of the boys listened intently, and Draken spoke up once Baji finished talking.

"sounds like she's pretty badass," with that Baji nodded, agreeing. he then became somewhat shy, trying to figure out how to form his next sentence.

"i, uh, think Vera should join Toman." Mikey stopped eating, looking up from his plate for the first time.

"you think she'd want that? i mean, she'd be the only girl."

"yeah! she said she wanted to, at least." Mikey then nodded, staying quiet in thought.

"i think it would be cool if she joined," Chifuyu added, watching as Baji's eyes lit up at his encouragement.

Mitsuya added another thought, trying to weigh the pros and cons. "i think it'd be cool too, but how would the rest of the gang react? no one but us and a few others know her."

"come on, we're all the higher ups. they'd have to be okay with it if we were," Baji reasoned, laying out another plus for you to become a member.

"you're right. well, i think it's decided then." Draken said, and everyone turned to Mikey, waiting for his response.

"we'll bring her to the next meeting then," he stated, words muffled by the food in his mouth. "yo, Mikey, don't talk with food in your mouth." Draken grumbled, while the rest laughed, Baji thanking them for letting you join.

he was excited to be able to spend more time with you; joining Toman would mean he had a good reason to see you.

the boys continued talking about random topics, enjoying their food and sometimes disturbing the calm atmosphere of the cafe.

Vera's POV

     sitting on the front steps leading to your house, you were talking with Himari who had come over to see you earlier in the day.

you were smoking a joint, while your brightly-clothed friend just sat beside you. she didn't smoke, but didn't mind that you did.

this was something that happened often; the two of you would just talk while you took a few drags off of the joint, letting some stress leave your body.

"so, the guys that came to get you in class the other day, do they even go to our school?" she asked, still confused on the situation that happened days before.

chuckling, you took another puff of the small roll before answering. "the guy with the super yellow hair does. his names Takemichi. the other two don't though."

"so why did they come to our school?" "i think they just wanted to hangout, i guess." Himari turned to you, her head tilted in confusion.

"in the middle of class?" you smiled, "yup." "i will never understand how you can make such odd friends." at her comment, you laughed loudly, nudging her shoulder.

"they're not that weird; you're weirder." she feigned hurt, gasping and turning her head away.

you laughed again, taking one more hit of the joint and then tamping it out, placing a hand on Himari's shoulder.
