Breathless {Akutagawa x Male-Reader} [Phase I - Interest]

Five

It was later that we ended up at the small cafe below the agency. It was a nice one, to be honest. The mix and match of colors were a new sight.

I was just sitting at a booth, looking around awkwardly as Y/n sits across from me.

"This is place is actually nice.." I wasn’t lying, for once I was actually genuine about something.

The brunet chuckles and looks over to the counter.

"Hey, Lucy!" he waved with a smile.

It's cute.....

The former guild member walked over to us, "Do you two need anything?"

The waitress looked a little confused to see me, shrugged and turned back to Y/n.

"Anything new on the menu today?" he asked.

"Salad bowl, fries, watermelon, and banana milkshake." she quickly answered.

Watermelon...….?

I kept staring at Y/n, his head resting on his palm, seemingly thinking of what to order.

"Banana? Damn, alright." Y/n smirked and sat upright, "One milkshake and fries."

Then he turned to me, his face turning back to a serious, motionless one, "What about you?"

I flinched a little before sighing,

"I want watermelon. And hot chocolate." I bluntly said.

Both him and the waitress blinked at me in confusion before Y/n chuckles, "Okay, then, make that 2 watermelon servings."

"Okay." Lucy answered and quickly went behind the counter through a door.

Kitchen...?

"You like watermelon?" he asks me.

I blinked, "Yes.. And figs... And other stuff.."

"Cool.." Y/n looked down, smiling a little... I could also see a faint blush on his cheeks.

He's sort of like Higuchi..... Does he swing that way?

Probably not...

"Do you believe me? My reason for leaving the mafia?" I suddenly ask him.

His expression then turned serious, "Why do you ask?"

He's suspicious..

"I just want to ask..... If anyone believes me."

"Was I something that Atsushi said that changed you or something?" he tilted his head.

"*insert quote*, he said."

"I'm not surprised, he's a good boy..." Y/n shrugged and smiled again.. "Probably, probably not, I'll observe you, then I'll think about it."

So I actually have a chance...?

Do I?

Should I take it?

Or am I going to end up turning back...?

"DUDE!" I felt a hand on my head...

Y/n was patting my head.....

"What are you doing? Stop it." I snapped at him.

"The food?" he snapped back.

I looked down, there was a plate of watermelon slices on the table in front of me..

So they serve food here...?

"Quit staring and eat it." Y/n told me, slowly eating his fries, "We have 5 minutes left.."

I nodded and started eating the watermelon with a fork.

I watched Y/n sipping on his milkshake, it was a light yellow color, with whipped cream on the top.

It looks nice....

I sipped my hot chocolate, it was hot.
I stuck my tongue out slightly, not too visible, but I didn't want to seem like I was overreacting.

"It's hot..."

Y/n gave me a look, "You can have it on the go. Come on."

He stood up and I looked down a the empty plates, except for mine as I haven't finished my watermelon yet.

I quickly finish the food and took a lid for the cup before walking out the cafe with Y/n.

"Is it time for work?" I ask him.

"For me, yep, for you, you're just for my surveillance so I can't keep an eye of you." he put his hands in his pockets, walking into the streets.

"Where are we going?"

"The bank." Y/n took out a pair of earbuds and putting them on.

I stayed quiet to not disturb his music, stopping to wait for the street crossing sign.

So this is what it feels like to be a member of the agency..
