Kissed By Reality (A Kise Ryouta X Reader Fan fiction)

Chapter 12 - Complications

With a release of the big breath-- that had filled your lungs-- you looked at the glass doors. After what Yuno had said you figured that seeing him face to face was, indeed, the best course of action. After your failed attempt to get Kise to reply to your text nearly a week ago you felt that maybe you went at it all wrong. You managed to muster some courage to face him finally. That, and Haru said he'd scratch a disc of your favorite show, [favorite show].

"You can do this, [Name]." you whisper words of encouragement to yourself before you pull open the doors.

You are instantly greeted with a familiar, smiling face. Kise's older sister was talking to the attendant at the front desk. You would recognise that elegant posture and graceful movements that were coupled with those gorgeous golden locks. Her hair was so thick and lush. You wondered how she made it so.

"Um... Excuse me?" You start before realising quickly that you never caught her name.

She looks up at her, a twinkle in her eye as she recognised you, "Oh! You're [Name]! Are you here to see Ryouta?"

You blink a moment before nodding, "Yeah. I hadn't been able to see him lately..." You avert your gaze.

"Oh... So does that mean he didn't tell you? Ryouta was released a couple days ago."

You felt your heart sink and your throat start to close up. Your eyes burning. He'd been released? Why didn't he tell you? Was he that upset with you? You hug yourself slightly. You figured this was also you're fault. You should have come in to see him sooner. Or at least tried to text him more.

"Ah... I see how it is... Thank you... um... what's your name?" You ask, feeling like running away the longer you stood there.

"Karin. Tachibana Karin." She said as she brought a hand up to brush a stand of hair from her face, a bright glittering ring upon her finger.

You smile faintly. Of course someone as beautiful as her would be getting married. Karin must have noticed how you saw her ring and smiled.

"I got married a year ago. I'm here today to get a check up and finish up the paperwork for all of Ryouta's medical treatments." She says as the attendant haves her a small envelope.

You nod. Now that you thought about it. You didn't recall Kise ever saying much about his sisters. Not that it's a surprise, but you only remember hearing about them in passing. Kise never really talked about them. Or his family in general.

"Thank you for your time..." You bow before you turned around and left the hospital.

The longer you were there the more you realised Kise never told you much of anything. He mentioned his sisters occasionally but that was it. He never told you about them or his family. Did he actually like you? Lost in your thoughts you hadn't realised where you had gone. You bump into someone who manages to catch you before you fell.

"Woah, careful there pinky-- Momo?" You quickly look at who it was, his voice familiar.

You're met with familiar black hair and stunning cinnamon brown eyes. Reiji. You stare a moment at him as you start to think about all the uncanny coincidence that you keep running into him everywhere you go. It was like something out of a romance novel. One you would have preferred didn't focus on you. You stand straight and fix you're dress in an attempt to hide the embarrassed blush that had snuck it's way upon you cheeks.

"Oh... Hi Reiji. Sorry for running into you like that. I wasn't looking." You say before you take a deep breath to calm yourself.

"It's fine. I don't mind. It saved me from the boredom of waiting in this line." He says as he scratches the back of his neck.

"What is this line for?" You ask as you get on your toes in and attempt to see over the line of people as to the front.

"It's for a popular cafe that Kise wanted me to grab something from." He says as he looks at a note he held in his palm.

"You... you've talked with Kise?" You felt that tight feeling in your throat again.

"Yeah, I came from his house. Why? Has he not said anything to you?"

"No... I just found out today that he was released." You look down and let your pink locks spill over your shoulders, concealing your face that was now flushed.

"He didn't tell you he was released? Why would he do that? He can't be mad about that kiss, can he?" He says as he holds his chin in thought.

"I've been wondering the same!" You raise your voice, looking up at him.

Now you had started to become angry. Everyone but you knew Kise had been released. The least he could have done was have someone tell you. But no, he left you completely in the dark. Not only that but he'd clear had plenty of time to tell you if he had time to hang out with Reiji. You glare at Reiji who takes a step back out of caution.

"Why don't you tell Kise that I don't care then! Since that's clearly how he sees me!" You spat before you storm off like the ball of fury you were.

You had walked a couple blocks before you stopped to take a breath. You lean your back on a wall and rub your temples. You'd save your anger for when you were home and out of the public's eye. You were sure many had already seen you. No need to make things worse. You also didn't want to accidentally get angry at a random stranger.

As you leaned there you felt your phone going off. You look at it to see that Haru was asking if you could grab some vegetables and meat to be made into dinner for that night. Figuring that meant a visit from Kei you sigh and give a quick reply as you started off toward the store.

During the whole time through the store you felt even worse about having yelled at Reiji like you did. It wasn't his fault. It was more then likely yours. You did kiss Kise while he was "sleeping". Your face flushes and you stop walking to shake your head of the thought. Kissing him when he hadn't given permission wasn't right. No matter how soft and warm his lips had felt pressed flush against yours. You lightly pinch your cheek to distract yourself and bring you back to reality.

"Whoa! If I didn't know better I'd think I was looking at myself!" A cute, female's voice says from behind you.

Startled you quickly turn around. A girl not much unlike yourself, with long pink hair, stared at you with amazement in her soft pink eyes. Even though you know you'd never met her before she seemed so familiar. Even with that not being a very unusual feeling for you. That's when it suddenly clicked. You thought back to pictures you had seen of Kise and his team back in junior high. Her bright and shining face had been in a few. And the fact you remembered that Kise had mistaken you for someone else at firsts.

"Are you... Momoi?"

From the look of surprise on her face you decide that you had clearly gotten your answer. This was "momoi-cchi". The girl you had been mistaken for the first time you saw Kise (again). The one you had a feeling, could help you the most with your predicament right now.

Thanks for reading!

As promised I'll be updating once a month, yay! This is a short one, sorry about that. I'll try to make the next one longer to make up for it.

Also! This book has almost 1k views! (It's big for me. Not only that but my one shot book has over 1k.) So I was thinking on doing something special for those who actually read this fic (and my others). What do you guys want? A special chapter? A drawing of one or two of my original characters in this fic? A Q&A? Let me know!!
