The Empress and The Titan (KnB fanfic • Murasakibara x OC)

★Teiko 12

"Yuki-chin... Where are you going? I thought you were coming with me today?" He whined because I was heading the other way, leaving him behind.

"I am. Let me just pass these to the faculty." I sighed.

He waited for me and we started to walk home to wherever he was taking me.

"Where are we going, exactly?" I asked.

"To the arcade."

"What?" He was taking me gambling?

"Since you don't know what it is, I'm gonna show you." He hummed.

"Surely, I don't need to. I'll just google it." I tried to refuse.

"Experiencing it first hand is way more fun. Ikou!" He led the way.

.

As expected of this glutton, we stopped by a dessert shop first.

He ordered a huge banana split and I ordered a plain apple crumble.

"What do you do when you get home, Murasakibara?" I asked curiously casual.

"Eat some more, or sleep."

"That's it? You just laze around?"

"Mhm. You don't?"

"Of course I don't. I have a lot of work to do. One day, Seijuro nii will be the president of our company and I have to help him."

"Boooring~~" he yawned.

I ate my apple piec to avoid snapping at him.

"You're the only siblings right?" He asked.

"Yes. Do you have siblings, murasakibara?"

"I have an older sister and three older brothers. And in case you've forgotten, my name is Atsushi, At-su-shi, call me that." He gave me permission to use his first name.

It was pleasing to know that he wanted me to call him by his first name but it'll feel awkward knowing that we weren't that close.

"At-sushi." I breathed out.

"Hm?"

"Nothing. It's just normal for me to say your first name."

"You'll get the hang of it when you use it all the time, Yuki-chin." He smiled.

.

After eating, we were finally at the arcade. Atsushi was right, I thought wrong. This isn't the same to the pachinko places although there were some slots machines at the side.

I looked fun. There were fighting games, shooting games, crane games where you get to win prizes. I was utterly amazed.

Atsushi POV

Her eyes gleamed at her surroundings. I can tell that she was liking it.

I went over the counter and bought some tokens and came back to her.

"Come on, what do you wanna play?"

"Play?" She was surprised. Maybe she thought we were just here to look.

"Yeah. What do you wanna try? Wanna try Tekken?" I asked. I just wanted to show off.

I brought her to sit down in front of the game where we would have to face each other.

"Pick a character."

"Which one?"

"Any."

"Then?"

"You press these buttons. The joystick is used for what direction you wanna go " I pointed. She really seemed to be taking it in.

Then the match began.

Yukichin was so lost. I knew she was.

"Lily's more on kicks..." I gave her a hint on how to even land something on me.

I won. (*^o^*)
