生き甲斐 [ikigai] // akashi x reader

Prologue

Walking through the busy streets of Tokyo in Summer Noon does makes you feel hot and half deceased.

'The temperature is unbelievable' you thought.

Searching for some cool air, [y/n] starts to make her move to search for any kind of stores that has a freezing cold air conditioner.

The sound of people talking, cars honking, shattered glass, people in phone calls, the smell of pollution came from the moving vehicle, noises from the pachinko machine, the bright sun that keeps on stinging your skin, for a moment you thought it was a bad idea to go out at this time after all.

'I hope my skin won't get sun burned too much'

You kept on walking, every store at the moment is too crowded and you think it's better to avoid the crowds, a nice cold quiet place is what you are hoping to find for.

A certain tall purple haired figure caught your attention. 'Are those Titans finally attacking Japan at Summer' you mentally said to yourself.

The purple guy came out of a lovely looking Coffee shop. 'I don't really need coffee at the moment, but they do have something that could reduce my body temperature right? '

The huge guy came out, holding a cup of coffee, a paper bag and it looked filled with sweets and freshly baked bread, he then left the place immediately.

"Gosh who in the right mind would drink and eat hot things at this kind of situation, aaah seeing his sweets making me want to throw up somehow.." You mumbled

Deciding to check out the Coffee shop, [y/n] walks infront of the place.

'The front decoration is not that bad.. It caught my attention' You thought, you could see the coffee shop name perfectly, it was Teiko Café. Walking towards the door to reach the holder the door suddenly opens.

You didn't expect someone would open the door, as the door opens you could see another odd haired person. This time, the hair color is Green.

The Green guy is tall as well, 'Is this Coffee shop made for tall people or what'. He looks to your figure and you gave him space to walk outside, which he did.

After that you went into Teiko Café, the smell of brewed coffee is strong but it smells elegant and expensive.

"Welcome!" A girl greeted you from the Bartender table she's in, she also has an odd hair color. Its pink.

'Probably this is those Cosplay Café place people are talking about now' As you sat on where the chairs are, you are glad that they actually turn the AC on and the Coffee shop is quiet.

The girl walks to your table under the air conditioner, Momoi is what her nametag said, well the name matches her hair perfectly.

"It's a pretty hot day today isn't it? Would you like something cold?" She asked you with a smile,

"Yes, I want a [fav milkshake flavor] Milkshake to cool myself down" You replied the pink haired girl who immediately wrote down your order.

"Anything else?" She asked, "No, thank you" You replied her, then she turned her back and walk through the place where she makes your order.

While waiting for your order you turned your head around to study the place you're at, it was tidy and it looked peaceful, the decoration match for a Coffee Shop.

There's also again.. Another odd haired people sitting 3 tables in front of you, both are wearing Waiter's clothes.

'They probably work here too', you could see a red haired guy and in front of him backing you off is a baby blue haired guy, both of them are currently playing Shogi.

BEEP BEEP, telephone rings, Momoi stopped her work and washes her hand.

"Akashi, could you continue the order please?" Momoi asked the red haired man, he nods and stops the Shogi game for a moment, he walked through the Bartender table and continued the work that Momoi left.

Momoi went inside a door on the corner, walking past you.

Waiting for the Red haired man, which is Akashi finished your order, you opened your mobile phone and decided to chat with your friends for a while,

Scrolling through the late chats, you found one of your friend sending a link to a news article, she was spamming you to open the link quickly, well you're forced to press the link.

A picture of censored corpses and blood appeared in the article with the topic of Ghouls, yes Ghouls are chasing over people in Tokyo for a while now, and it bothers you the feeling of seeing corpse pictures now, it was devastating and gore-ish.

'God damnit, i thought I told her to not send this kind of stuff anymore'

"Here is your order" said a voice, you were shocked because you were soooo into the story at that moment. Putting down your order, you could see a glint of different pair of eyes.

You blinked for a while, processing your thought. Akashi is finished on serving your drink and you kept staring at him.

"They said it's not nice for you to stare right?" Akashi said questioned you, 'There's nothing different about his eyes again' you thought to yourself as you realized the guy kept his gaze on you.

"Uuuh... Yeah.. Sorry for staring, the heat from outside made me pretty crazy for a lot of stuffs" You said looking at the milkshake, Akashi gave an invisible tiny smile and left your table.

Turning his back, his baby blue haired friend flinched a bit.

'Oh no you don't'
