A Story's Beginning (Kubo x Reader)

Chapter 13

I am so bored.

I sigh hopping that some of my boredom would come out with it.

But more has just entered.

I continue moping as I walk.

Then I hear something. It rings in my ear, and sound really nice.

It was a music note.

Then in front of my face is a little green paper butterfly. I giggle as it lands on my nose.

More music fills my ears and multi-colored paper butterflies surround me.

I laugh at this. Kubo continues to play his shamisen in a light and quick tune which sounds more beautiful as he continues.

Then a little hole opens up in the butterflies revealing a face standing on the other side of the wall of paper.

Kubo smiles at me, then the hole closes up and I then feel my feet lift off the ground.

I am lifted into the air by paper butterflies.

The butterflies have hooked themselves onto my clothes and they continue to lift me up into the air.

Looking down I see Kubo laughing at me as he continues playing his tune.

But when I look down, I get a little scared at how high I am.

"Uh, that's a little high up..." I say.

Kubo pretends not to hear me and takes me a little higher.

I look down again to see him smiling, and my fear just seems to melt away.

How does he do that?

I smile back at him.

Then suddenly, he stops playing his shamisen and the butterflies stop.

Kubo drops his shamisen and runs under me. I start to fall and I feel my stomach drop.

"AHH!!!" I scream as I fall.

Then a pair of strong arms catch me. I meet Kubo's eyes and he just smiles at me.

I smile back as I feel my cheeks heat up.

I wait for him to put me down but he doesn't.

My heart beats faster while he holds me with a gentle smile.

Why aren't you putting me down? Why am I so nervous? Well, I think I'm nervous. My heart is pointing and my cheeks are probably red.

Wait they could be red!

I break eye contact from him to help hide my face.

Do I like him?

I feel my heart beat speed up at the thought.

I guess I do... a lot...

*Kubo's POV*

I catch a screaming (Y/n) in my arms and I smile at her.

She smiles back at me, and I feel my chest tighten a little.

What is this?

I ignore it, but I keep holding her.
