Just Coffee Jelly? | Saiki K x Y/N

Chapter 4, "You're my lifesaver!"

At the Cider Man Play...

"Now introducing... Cider Man, Live Action!" Yuuta was completely immersed in the show, occasionally taking licks at his now slightly melted ice cream. Teruhashi and her brother stood rather close to Saiki, Yuuta and I. Teruhashi would occasionally glance over at us and think of many profanities even though it was no more than an innocent baby sitting job. Teruhashi scooted secretively to get closer to Saiki even though he was fully aware of it. "So... Saiki, would you ever like to hang out-" Teruhashi asked proposing a hangout, but she was quickly interrupted by a certain weirdo. "Teruhashi you don't need to hang out with this dork. Come on let's go" Her brother proposed, but then the antagonist of Cider man swooped down and grabbed both me and Teruhashi.

What on Earth? Why are they grabbing regular civilians for a play? Saiki stood there, a little dumbfounded, but he didn't do anything. "Cider Man! Cider Man! Save Y/n.. and I guess  Teruhashi," Said Yuuta. I'm guessing from the way he hesitated, Yuuta doesn't like Ms. Perfect very much. Saiki was thrown into a silly Cider Man suit and ended up on the stage with us. "Get ''em Saiki!" I exclaimed. Saiki fought off the villain and walked towards us, but he only held out one hand. I didn't want to put my hand out and make a fool out of myself so I waited for him to grab Teruhashi's. She put her hand out, but Saiki grabbed my hand instead. "No, Wait! Saiki!" Teruhashi said defeatedly as Saiki and I ran off stage. Why did he only grab my hand? 'Don't think anything of it Y/n, I just need to get Teruhashi off my back' Saiki said coldly. Considering Saiki and I met two days ago, I didn't think anything of his remark.

On the way home...

"That was so cool Cider Man!" Yuuta said with mint Ice cream dried onto his face. I smiled at him and stopped to wipe his face. Saiki stared for a few seconds before leaving for his home. "Wait, Saiki. Leaving so soon?" I said. Truth be told I just wanted to show my grandparents that I'd made some sort of a friend, and that they didn't have to worry about me. 'Good grief, I don't even know why I'm agreeing to this" Saiki thought. 'I'll stay I guess' Saiki agreed.

Y/n's grandparents' home...

"Ah what a pleasure to see you again granddaughter," My grandpa said. I hugged my grandpa and he looked over my shoulder to reveal the pink haired boy. "Who's this fella over here?" My grandma asked as she exited her room. "Oh! That's my friend Saiki," I said with a surprised expression as if this wasn't my plan. My grandpa studied him for several seconds before giving Saiki a giant bear hug. Saiki looked at me with his stoic expression and said telepathically, 'help'. "Ah, Saiki, thanks for walking me home! You can get back to your.. homework now" I scrambled looking for an excuse. 'Bye.' Saiki said before swiftly exiting my home. Shortly after Saiki left, Yuuta's mom arrived to pick him up. "Thank you so much for watching Yuuta Y/n!" The boy's mother exclaimed. "No problem" I replied with a sweet smile. Right after I closed the front door, I made a run for it to the stairs, only to be stopped by my grandma. She grabbed the back of my school uniforms collar, and I quickly came to a halt, causing me to stumble. "Can I help you grandma..?" I said while regaining my balance, trying to avoid her teasing. "Who is that Y/n!" My grandma said with a smug look on her face. "Grandma! I literally just met him a couple of days ago." I said, dreading this conversation. "Alright, alright. I'll leave you alone... but you would make a cute couple." My grandma boasted. "Goodnight grandma." I said sternly before stomping up the steps. But Saiki read the grandma's mind before he left, and Y/n was fully aware of it.

The next day...

Today I woke feeling rather friendly. I didn't dread socializing with my classmates, and I went the first 30 minutes of my day without getting angry at something. I grabbed some sweets I took home from work and put them into a basket. "Bye guys!" I said loudly to my grandparents before heading to school. There was no Saiki in sight, but I did see Nendou and Kaidou. "Hi guys" I said catching up them. "Oh hey Y/n, where's Saiki?" Nendou asked. "Oh, I don't know maybe he left early for school. I might of scared him off yesterday..." I replied. Nendou and Kaidou looked at me with confusion plastered on their faces. "It wasn't anything crazy, my grandparents can just be a little.. much," I stammered. "I'm sorry, what is the context of this?" Kaidou asked with a slightly amused look on his face. "Well I was babysitting Yuuta, and then Saiki tagged along, but then at the end of the day I asked him to walk me home.. which is normal so that's not what might've scared him. But then my grandparents ambushed him with odd questions and hugs." I answered. "Hmph," Kaidou mumbled. "Saiki's not a big people person, so he probably just wanted to get out, anyway, are you coming to the field trip Y/n" Nendou asked. "It's not like I have much of a choice," I said jokingly referring to my grandparents. "You shouldn't worry, it'll be so fun," Kaidou said while looking at Nendou with a smug look on his face like they had an idea. "You guys are so weird." I said as we neared the school.
