Lazy Lad || Murasakibara Atsushi [Rewritten]

01. Found You!

It's your first day at Yosen High, and you're buzzing with excitement. New faces, new classes—and maybe, just maybe, a few handsome guys too. Your best friend Nezuko had already lit a spark in your curiosity.

"There's this guy on the basketball team," she whispered dramatically, sipping from her water bottle. "He's gorgeous. Like, a literal giant—and completely unattainable. Every girl's obsessed with him."

"I need to see him!" you said, grabbing her shoulders in excitement. She nearly choked on her water and shot you a death glare. "Sorry, sorry!" you laughed, biting your tongue. The two of you made your way toward the basketball gym.

—

Inside, a group of five or six boys were on the court—except they didn't look like high schoolers. More like fully grown men playing with NBA-level intensity. You scanned the group until your eyes landed on someone tall—really tall—with long purple hair and a face that made your heart skip.

"His hair is so pretty!" you gasped. "I know, he's dreamy!" Nezuko sighed, clearly swooning. "Hands off, Nezu-chan. Don't drool on my future boyfriend!" you teased. "Girl, please—" she laughed, punching your arm.

After practice, the boys filtered out of the gym, carrying their bags and sipping water. You took a breath. "I'm gonna go talk to him," you announced. Nezuko looked at you like you'd lost your mind. "Wait, are you serious?! [Your Name]-chan!" She exclaimed. "It's now or never," you said, flipping your hair with pride and marching up to him. 

The purple-haired guy was walking beside a slightly shorter one with messy black hair that covered one of his eyes. The two were deep in lazy conversation, until you stepped right in front of them.  "Hey, you!" you called out confidently. The black-haired guy smirked. "Muro-chin, yet another girl crushing on you?" But you weren't even looking at him. Your gaze was fixed on the tall one with the packet of chips in his hand.

"No, Himuro-kun. She's looking at you," the black-haired one chuckled. "Huh? Me?" the purple-haired guy blinked down at you, as though it was too much effort to be surprised. "What do you want?" he asked in a slow, lazy drawl. "Your name." You replied with a smile. "Ehhhh... why?" He asked in a sulky tone. "Because I want to know it," you replied, crossing your arms.

"It's too long. I'm too lazy to say it," he muttered. You laughed. "It's probably shorter than this whole back-and-forth we're having." He let out a sigh. "Alright, alright. I'm Murasakibara Atsushi. Nice to meeeeet youuuu." His words dragged out like he was being forced into labor, and he promptly resumed munching on his chips.

"Such a cool name! And so long, too," you teased. "Ughhhh..." he groaned, clearly not used to this kind of energy. "Well then, Atsu-chan! I'm [Your Full Name]. Nice to meet you." You beamed up at him. That finally earned a reaction—his eyes widened just slightly, like he hadn't expected you to be so... bold.

"You're way too personal for a first meet," he mumbled. You tilted your head with a cheeky grin. "We've got a long way to go, Atsu-chan." You said with a small giggle. "Whateveeer. Let's go, Muro-chin," he sighed, walking past you. "See you soon, Walking Titan Atsu-chan!" you called out playfully. You caught the black-haired one—Himuro—turning back to chuckle at you with a small nod.

"Whateeeevahhh," Atsushi drawled again from behind them. Nezuko burst out laughing and smacked your back. "You are seriously something else." She exclaimed. "He'll be mine, Nezu-chan. Just mark my words." She giggled, "I almost believe you."

And somehow, you believed it too.
