Underneath the Moonlight: REBOOT! || Osorō Shidesu x OC

4 - Osorō Shidesu

Week 1

After cleaning time, there was still no sign of Osana Najimi. I was getting kind of worried at this point, to be honest. As I was running back towards the building after throwing some trash into the incinerator, I was scrolling down my lists of contacts to try to call Osana again, when I ran smack into someone, dropping my phone in the process.

Fully expecting to hit the ground, I yelped, closing my eyes and bracing myself for the impact. However, my eyes flung open when instead, I felt a pair of strong arms swiftly wrap around my waist and stabilize me.

My violet eyes locked with a familiar pair of stony, piercing brown eyes.

My heart began to race, and heat quickly rose to my face as a deep blush spread across my cheeks. I found myself unable to look away as he held me, staring me down, and for what seemed like a painfully long eternity, a charged silence filled the air as we stared at each other. I could almost feel the electricity crackling between us.

In reality, though, there was only a few minutes of silence before he helped me stand upright and spoke, breaking the silence between us.

"So, you're the Goddess of Akademi, huh?" he said, his voice somewhat deep as he eyed me with an intensity that made me blush. "I guess I can see why."

I averted my gaze, knowing that I'd be unable to look away if I held eye contact. "I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"I think ya do, but sure, play the dumb, ditzy blonde card... it's kinda cute." He reached out and twirled his finger around a strand of my blonde waves, playing with it and toying with me.

Remembering Kokona's warning about the delinquent leader, I slapped his hand away before he could get too comfortable touching my hair, then pushed past him. "I have somewhere I need to be, sorry."

I hurried away, halfway down the hallway, when I heard a very specific ringtone chiming behind me. I stiffened instantly as I recognized it.

Turning, the ringtone grew louder as the blonde delinquent leader ran over, holding my ringing phone in his hand. By the time he reached me, however, I'd missed the call already. "Ya phone's ringing, doll."

I snatched my phone from him as a text came in. "Don't fucking call me that," I hissed, checking my notifications. My blood ran cold as I read the text I'd recieved.

Father: Meet me in the alleyway across the hair salon in Shisuta Town at 6:30p.m. and don't be late.

Shit. What the hell did I do wrong already? I'd only been at Akademi Academy for a week.

"Damn." The blonde in front of me whistled. "You've got a tongue, huh, doll?"

I huffed and rolled my eyes. "I said, don't call me that. I gotta go. Bye!"

Before I could turn and leave again, he grabbed my wrist and spun me around, his other hand falling on my hip and pulling me closer to prevent me from running again. A blush spread across my face yet again as I forced myself to bluntly demand, "What?"

"Osorō Shidesu."

My heart skipped a beat. "W-what?" I asked, softer this time.
