Blind Date (Blind Girl x Male Reader)

Chapter V

Hi =)

So, I decided that instead of getting rid of my mistakes in this book, I'll just keep them canon, but making fun of them (as I have already done some times before)

• ★ •

Poka: I was thinking... – She taps the tips of her shoes on the sidewalk – I don't really understand what is the connection between sweaters and comfy-ness??

Did I make a bad example? Or perhaps she actually figured out but wants to know if she's correct

Y/n: Uh... I guess it's because of holidays? – You put a finger to your chin, genuinely trying to see if your statement makes sense – Because I used sweaters indoors in most Christmas days I suppose, they feel nice when the weather is chilly and it feels as though it is a caring warm hug the whole time

Though you never actually wore a sweater aside from Christmas, so that's about what you can say

Poka: That's interesting – She turns her face to you for a moment and smiles – Speaking of holidays...

You tilt your head, as she fiddles with her umbrella's handle

Poka: Are you free this weekend? – She blushes a bit – I think we should really see each other aside from school you know?

Y/n: Hah – You smile awkwardly – I admit I didn't expect to hear this, nor something so direct

Poka: Right... – She giggles shyly – Soo...?

She waits expectantly, while Namie whines while doing puppy eyes, which tempts you on accepting right away

But... What's that you feel?

Well, of course someone so reclusive as you, that spent so much time isolated from people, wouldn't be so easy to open up this fast

You feel the tight grip on your chest, and your breaths shortening...

Is it anxiety? Guilt? Fear?

Poka patiently waits for your answer, though the more time passes, you can see she's getting increasingly worried

Y/n: I... – You slouch, though you want to tell her the truth, you're having trouble processing what's going on with your mind – Depends, yeah, it depends – You repeat those words awkwardly, as if they were the only ones you knew

Poka: Oh... – She looks down – Well, I was thinking we could just have a walk around the park today, nothing too long, but if you can't it's fine, everybody has their own businesses

You look around, after all, why hesitate now? Since you already walked with her by the park, even though you didn't wanna, why it feels so alien?

The first day you saw her, you saved her from her bullies, without hesitation, you even argued with them

Right, you had forgotten about the origin of your commitment issues, any day, perhaps even the best day with her might be your last, after all, your circumstances will always make you move to a different city, then why bother?

Right, back into clarity, don't get attached, after all, nothing of this will be carried on

Though inside, you really don't wanna hurt her feelings, nor let her walk alone with that tall girl you saw earlier stalking you

You turn your head to the direction you first saw that girl, catching a glimpse on her scurrying back into hiding

Y/n: Let's go. – You get up, and Namie immediately barks happily, Poka smiles warmly too – I don't see why not

In the park, you sense something else is going on besides your fateful encounter

As in, you keep catching glimpses of that tall girl, she's surely stalking you, though which one of you?

As the morning passes by, you stay distant, wondering what exactly does that girl want

The anxiety consumes you from inside, and you get up, telling Poka to wait in place

You simulate you're going home, and when you're sure you're clear, you start circling around the places you have seen the girl last, trash bins, abandoned vending machine, trinket stands, everything

And when you find her ducked in an alley...

Y/n: Freeze – You hold her shoulder firmly – Whatever you are doing is suspicious activity, do not turn around

???: Wha-? Are you a policeman? – She trembles

Y/n: I don't have to be a cop to put possible criminals down – You growl – Neither do I have to be a edgy teen jailbird to beat you down if you try anything weird.

???: Please, I'm not doing anything wrong! – She whispers, visibly afraid – Really, I'm just a regular gossip girl...

Y/n: Gossip huh? How unlucky, I hate gossipping – You shake her shoulder lightly – And how do I know you're trustworthy?

She slowly takes a folded wallet, opening it like a FBI agent in a movie

Y/n: Mariko... Columnist in the news club... That's in my school! – You release her – Right, get up slowly... So, for how long have you been following me?

Mariko: Ever since you confronted Mika in the school hallway – She dusts herself off – She got so pissed! I never saw anything like that in a long time!

She starts retelling all events from the past few chapt- uh, days

Mariko: And then you said to her "You're pitiful" 

Y/n: I don't know what came over me... – You shudder – It sounded way better in my head

Mariko: It was awesome – She jumps like a cheerleader – And then you gave back her scissors and said—

Y/n: Stop or I'll commit seppuku

Mariko: It was epic though!

Y/n: "Epic" wouldn't be my choice of words

Mariko: It doesn't matter, you're now the first-page student on our club's board!

Y/n: Wha—
