Brave {Azumane Asahi}

Asahi was always a meek person. He was quiet and nervous a lot of the time. You, on the other hand, were loud and rambunctious. Your completely different personalities made people wonder how the two of you even started dating in the first place. You were always so self-assured and confident that it completely caught Asahi off-guard when you came over to his house, crying.

"(F-F/n)?! What are y-you doing here?!" your concerned boyfriend asked. He tentatively wrapped his arm around your shoulders, but you pushed him away, making him flinch.

"These stupid guys!" you growled, wiping tears away from your face. You were crying because you were afraid, but also because you were frustrated with yourself for being afraid. "I was walking home from my (favorite club) meeting and these weird guys started following me and saying bad things to me!"

It was true. You'd been walking back home after your club meeting and some strange guys followed you, making comments that were inappropriate and threatening. You'd been too scared to walk home, since they were following you so closely, so you went to Asahi's house, hoping he could help. Your boyfriend, however, would probably be more scared than you were.

Asahi's eyebrows knitted in worry. "W-Weird guys...? That's creepy..." he commented with a shudder. He wondered what he should do. "You can stay here until they go away, (f/n)," he offered meekly, brushing his brown hair behind his ear.

You grumbled loudly and grabbed the collar of Asahi's shirt before pulling him down so that you two were face-to-face. "You're my boyfriend! Go beat the shit outta them!" you commanded.

The harshness in your voice sent Asahi wide-eyed with fear, his body quivering when you let go of him. "B-B-But I c-can't d—"

He was about to try to refuse, since he didn't like resorting to violence—and he was scared out of his mind—but the look on your face gave him a sudden burst of strength. You were so upset, whimpering quietly as you furiously wiped tears off your face and sniffled. He took a deep breath and handed you a box of tissues before heading out the door.

You watched him leave, slightly surprised that he was actually listening to you. Usually when you yelled at him, he got so scared that he nearly passed out. You plopped yourself down on the floor and stuffed your face with tissues.

Once Asahi had gotten outside, he looked around and quickly spotted a group of guys who looked very shady. When he made eye contact with one of the guys, the others turned to look at him, smirks painted on their faces.

"Was it your house the pretty little lady went into?" one of them asked, chuckling darkly.

Asahi crossed his arms in front of his chest and took a few steps forward. His heart was racing and he had to try extremely hard not to stutter. "Why does it matter? You shouldn't be following girls home from school anyway," he responded, giving them a sharp look.

There was a long silence as the group of guys had a staring contest with Asahi. He was trying so hard to keep his composure. Don't tremble. Oh god can they see the sweat drop that I feel on my face? Oh no oh no oh no. Come on, do this for (f/n)!

"I don't want any of you to come near her again, you got that? Stay away," he told them sternly, his voice low and menacing. One of them was about to say something, but another stopped him, muttering something under his breath.

"The Azumane Asahi...?" he repeated, his eyes becoming wide with terror, "Are you serious? This dude is dangerous!"

Asahi gave them a confused look. "What are you talking about?" he murmured as he stepped forward towards them. That move sent the group sprinting away so fast that all that was left was a small dust cloud. "Huh."

As soon as they were gone, Asahi hugged himself as he shivered, nearly tripping over his own feet as he made his way back inside the house. "That was so scary. It's all over now. No more. I'm done," he breathed, talking to himself to try to calm himself down.

"Did you do it?!" you asked once you saw your shuddering boyfriend reappear in the doorway. You leapt up from where you sat and ran over to him. "Did you beat them up for me?!"

"W-Well I got them t-to go away, b-but it wasn't like that..." Asahi spluttered, wiping the beads of nervous sweat off his forehead.

As you watched him search for words, you suddenly giggled. Despite all the strange rumors, you knew your boyfriend wouldn't even hurt a fly, yet here you were, asking him to beat people up. You wrapped you arms around him, burying your face in his chest. "It's okay, it doesn't matter. Thank you... for being brave for me," you said softly.

He blushed and wrapped his arms around you as well before resting his chin on top of your head. He should really be thanking you. You were one of the few people who gave him the strength to be brave, after all.
