Formidable [Dandadan X Male Reader]

Chapter 1 [Prologue | Veins]

A teenager stood in the quiet street of Kamikoshi, only the sounds of birds humming occupied the silence, providing a peaceful and pleasant environment. As she adjusted her backpack and crossed her arms, her patience was wearing thin in the way her foot continuously tapped the street surface. She took a few glances to the left and right, hoping to find her childhood friend but all she saw was air.

The teenager girl is named Momo Ayase, stood 5'6 inches tall. Her right half of her face is framed by her shoulder-length brown hair. She has brown eyes which sparkle from her keen interest in the supernatural. 

Seconds ticked by, and Momo blew out her breath in exasperation "Ugh..! Where is he? At this rate, we're going to be late!" Momo grunted loudly. For Momo, walking without her childhood friend feels odd, it's like going to school without backpack. 

"Momo!" 

The familiar voice captured the girl's attention right away, and when she noticed a figure approaching from the distance, a warm grin surfaced on her lips "God, finally! What took you so long, Y/n?" Momo put a hand on her right hip and inquired, her gaze focused on the boy she had known for a long time.

The teenager who matched her height is now standing in front of her, guilty smile etched his lips, he catches his breath after rushing over the street. Due to the rush, his hair is slightly disheveled "Sorry for being late, Momo. I accidentally dozed off in my bathtub and rushed my way here" Y/n apologizes. He took a few deep breaths to settle himself down and stroked his hair with one hand to tidy it.

A playful grin tugged at Momo's lip corner as she saw how disheveled Y/n looked. She couldn't help but chuckle softly, her head shaking with amusement "Really? Sleeping in the bathtub? That's a new one" Momo remarked. She playfully nudged Y/n shoulder, causing him to stumble a bit due to the short fatigue he gained from running. She found his clumsiness endearing sometimes.

"Cut me some slack, I did a lot of homework last night" Y/n grumbles at Momo's teasing "Nevermind that, as long as you're here now, let's get going. We wouldn't want to be late for our classes, right?" Momo invited, eliciting a compliance nod from Y/n.

They both began walking, matching each other's pace. Momo occasionally glancing over at Y/n with a teasing smirk on her face "So, what else happened during your little adventure in the bathtub? Did you have any interesting dreams?" Momo's curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't resist teasing him further about his unusual morning routine.

"I had random glimpses of my hair sprouting and resembling horns at both sides of my head, it's so goofy to think about it" Y/n giggled a little shortly after he remembered it. He tucked both of his hands inside his pockets. 

Momo's eyes sparkled with amusement as she listened to Y/n's description of his dream. She couldn't help but imagine him with horns sprouting from his head, and the mental image made her burst into laughter.

"Horns? That's hilarious! Maybe you're part devil, huh?" She bumped her hip into his playfully, enjoying the feeling of their bodies connecting, even if it was just a friendly gesture.

"Don't jinx it, please" Y/n grins and shakes his head, amused. Regardless of how many times Momo teases him, he finds it entertaining "But seriously, can you imagine if that came true? You'd be the talk of the school!" She continued her teasing, finding joy in their lighthearted banter.

The sunlight danced on her brown hair as they walked, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

As they approached the school gates, Momo's expression softened, and she reached out to gently brush a stray strand of hair from Y/n's face. She notices Y/n's cheeks flushing slightly as a result of her touch "I'm glad you made it, though. Our walks to school wouldn't be the same without you" Her words were sincere, and she hoped he could sense the affection behind them.
