And You Disappeared (K Project X Reader)

8: New Job and New Friends

Your P.o.v.

"Thank you again for doing my hair Tatara" I say nervously as I stare into the vanity mirror with judgmental eyes that watched Tatara's fingers weave through my (h/l) (h/c) locks and scanned the short maid uniform I wore. The outfit reached up just below my thighs where the start of the silky (f/c) skirt began, under that was a whole skirt of ruffles that made the skirt look fuller. Around my waist was a white apron that just covered the front of my skirt and ended in a big bow and just above that was a (f/c) vest that was low and instead of covering my chest, it went below my chest just showing the six shiny golden buttons on the front and the soft straps. Then to top it all off I wore a tight white blouse with small puffy white sleeves along with simple (f/c) cuffs around my wrists and my (f/c) collar around my neck. "You're welcome!" Tatara said happily, his fingers brushing away my (h/c) bangs from my eyes before stepping to the side and admiring his work. "Done!" he cheered as he smiled warmly at me, making me smile back as my fingers brushed against my (curled or straightened) hair that Tatara had neatly done in a (hairstyle). "It's beautiful" I smile and quickly stand up to wrap my arms around Tatara's waist in a tight hug as small giggles escaped my lips. My smile only grows when I feel Tatara hug me back but I quickly let go and dust off the non existent dirt that was on my skirt "I better go, I don't want to be late" I huff and grab the (f/c) headband that rested at the foot of my bed, placing it on my head and adjusting it just right. "Ah! Of course, of course" Tatara said and scooted the wooden chair back into it's rightful place before grabbing my hand and walking out of the room with me in tow as he guided me down the stairs and into the main floor of the bar. Today I was in a bit of a rush, it was my first day at my new job. It was only yesterday that I was given a maid outfit and expected to show up at 7:00 sharp and I was a nervous wreck. It has been years since I've had any contact with humanity and HOMRA was the only place I felt the tiniest bit normal so I could only imagine the disasters that could happened todaybut the more I thought about it the more I realized that my day would be what I made of it. As soon as I reached the bottom step I'm greeted with the usual chatting and yelling from HOMRA. I release my grip on Tatara's hand as soon as I reach the bottom of the stairs and quickly sit on the bar counter, taking my place and involving myself in the insanity that was my home. "Good morning Izumo~" I sing happily as I reach past the blonde bartender, wrapping my fingers around a smooth and plump red apple before bringing it to my lips and taking a big bite out of the cool sweet treat. "Good mo- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING!?" Izumo yelled, his eyes scanning my outfit in awe making me cover my mouth as I laughed before gesturing towards the outfit "you don't like it?" I ask. As soon as the words left my mouth my eyes scanned the room to see that everyone was looking at me and I meant everyone. Eric, Bando, and Shouhie all had blushes on their faces and refused to look me in the eyes as they rubbed the back of their necks awkwardly. Rikio was in a headlock by Yata from what I could tell was a small fight from before but the small blush on his face didn't compare to the blush that covered Yata's. "Yata-chan? Are you okay?" I ask worriedly as I stared at the hotheaded Vanguard with concern. His whole face was as red as a tomato and his grip on Rikio was only becoming tighter and tighter as he stared at me with an expression I couldn't quiet grasp. "Is it really that bad?" I ask quietly as I look down at the (f/c) skirt with judgement, feeling the soft material with my unoccupied hand as I took another bite from my apple with the other. I could hear everyone deny what I said and that the outfit was just fine but one claim stood out above the rest "I-I think y-you l-look beautiful!" Yata whispered/shouted, his blush only growing worse as if he realized what he had just said. A dark blush of my own dusts across my cheeks as a shy smile appears on my lips and I look away to avoid eye contact with anyone that would only make me blush more. I hear laughter fill the room only making me cover my face in embarrassment as all the boys except Yata said and made sounds that I had no idea what they meant. Things like "Looks like Yata won't die a virgin after all" whatever a virgin was. but none of the less it made Yata stutter as he yelled and cursed. A small giggle escapes my lips as I hear Yata yell, it was strange but I loved it when he yelled and cursed it was justit was just Yata and I loved every bit of his personality. Suddenly I remember one crucial fact and my eyes widen in realization "I'm late!" I shriek and hop off the bar counter, completely forgetting about my apple and rushing toward the door. "Tatara, Tatara, Tatara!" I call as I jump in place by the front door watching as the sweet clansmen laughed and made his way toward the door. There was a new rule at the bar that I had to follow: I could not leave the bar without someone at my side at all times. It used to be that I couldn't go anywhere even to my bedroom without supervision (as suggested by Tatara) but after some begging (and lots of promising) the rule mellowed down a bit. "All right, all right, lets go" Tatara smiled and grabbed my hand as he pushed open the door and we walked out only for me to quickly turn around and wave "Bye everyone! Bye Yata!".
