|Falling|~Kanato X Reader

I opened the door.

There she was, that disgusting hag in all her glory. That is, if she had any.

The smell of the room was absolutely intoxicating. Not in the good way, where you felt like you were slowly biting into a moist slice of cake..

But in the bad way, the way that made you feel lightheaded and sick as if you had just gotten cheap and expensive perfume and dumped them together in a cauldron while adding small cups of sweat and mixing them all.

Yes, THAT bad.

I suddenly grew worried.

Would Keiichi's plan even work? It was definitely stupid, but would she really fall for that?

My arms tensed and grew tighter around Kanato's soft chest. It honestly felt like a pillow because of its warmth and somewhat fluffiness.

As if noticing my current state, Kanato looked down at me with pitying eyes, and nuzzled his nose into my hair as if to keep the act from being found out. I could see Keiichi's satisfied eyes looking over from us to the woman in our presence.

"Good morning Ms. Manager!" Keiichi happily chirped away, practically feeding her fake compliments.

Her smug smile as she looked over at me after Keiichi finished his one-sided chat that lasted around fifteen seconds was honestly one of the scariest things I've seen in my life. Seeing Kanato become a Peter Pan was the scariest.

She pointed her fingers at me, beckoning me forward, her meaty fingers looking way to uncomfortable under all of the rings she wore.

Instead of shuffling around with Kanato like a penguin, I detached myself and grabbed his hand.

I smiled up at him, one of the fakest smiles I'd ever had, my eyes pleading not to do anything stupid.

But much to my shock, his light and dark purple mix in his orbs held pure mischief and amusement as my smile slightly deteriorated. I quickly looked forward and made sure to fit myself into a cheery voice.

"Hi Ms. Manager! I remember you had said that you were a bit short staffed-" at this I made a pouty face "-so I brought my boyfriend, who loves to bake by the way, to work part-time in the morning with me!"

I smiled and picked up the hand that was wrapped around his, as if to show that we weren't faking. She smiled as if she caught onto something.

"Well, Ms. (y/n), if he really is your boyfriend, kiss." She requested, as if knowing there was no way I could do that.

"Well..." Kanato started, the first time he had spoken since we got in the manager's office. "We've only been dating for about a week, and I don't want to do anything she wouldn't want..." he said shyly. His acting skills were on point as he put his other hand over to cover his face to cover a nonexistent blush. My face instead was the one who felt like it had been placed in boiling water.

The hag somehow fell for my terrible, and Kanato's acceptable acting, and managed to have Kanato to stay in the room to sign some papers for a part-time job, while I escaped to the kitchen, Keiichi waiting on the other side of the door.

"aaaaAAAAH-" I whisper-shouted, while squatting down and holding my face in my hands.

Why was I even embarrassed?
