The Fallen Gamer (Asuna x Male Reader)

Chapter 2

(Y/n's P.O.V.)

I groaned and stretched my arms above my head as my two idiot friends and I walked out of our school.

Y/n: I hate exams!

I exclaimed and stretched my arms above my head. Everyone was already in their groups and leaving together. Knowing the girls, they'll probably go to that new cafe down the street. As for the boys, half will probably follow the girls, trying to get closer to them, and the other half, I have no idea.

Aoto: So what's the play, boys?

Riku: No idea. What do you think, Y/n?

Y/n: I don't care. I might just chill at home.

Aoto: Boring ass. Riku, what about you?

Riku: I don't know.

We watched his eyes drift towards the girls, but he wasn't looking at the group but a single girl. I couldn't help but chuckle softly and begin walking, following the group of girls prompting Riku to follow me. It seemed one twin recognized what my plan was. Aoto was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize we were following the girl of his dreams until we got to the entrance of a small cafe. Watching his eyes widen freakishly only made me and Riku laugh as we shoved him inside.

Aoto: What the hell are we doing here?!

Y/n: I'm forcing you to talk to Aikawa.

Riku: Yep.

With a final shove from Riku, Aoto bumped into Aikawa, a cute girl overall, but most boys in my school wouldn't rank her the highest in looks. Aoto has been smitten with her since a partner project last year.

Aikawa: Wha-? Oh, hi Kobayashi-san! What are you doing here?

Aoto: H-Hi... We, uh, just wanted to see what the hype was about here.

Aikawa: Oh really? We come here almost every day, right girls?

The girls in her group agreed before giving Riku and me a knowing look. It seemed they caught on, too. Aikawa may have, but she wasn't the most socially adept person, so maybe not.

Aikawa: Come on! I'll tell you what's good!

She dragged him away towards the front of the line as Riku and I stayed in the back.

Y/n: Might as well get something to drink while we're here.

I shuffle forward and look at the menu as we wait for the line to continue. I was going to get a bubble tea or green tea. I was basic regarding my taste palette, whereas my partner in crime was exotic. Regardless, after we got our drinks, the girls invited us to sit with them, and as much as I didn't really care, I still did it so Aoto would be forced to sit with his crush. I drank my tea and waited for time to pass while looking at my phone. It wasn't until I heard another girl ask someone if they could help them that I saw Mito in her school clothes with Yuuki-san trailing behind her.

Y/n: What are you two doing here?

Of course, now the attention was on me since it was odd in the group of girls' eyes to see me speaking to these two.

Mito: Am I not allowed to get a tea?

I sigh in defeat as Mito smirks. Yuuki is rather quiet, though. She seems to be observing the situation rather than outright drawing attention to herself.

Mito: I wanted to talk to you and was going to message you later, but since you're here, would you mind if I stole you from your friends?

I looked back at the group I was sitting with and sighed.
