Stay By My Side (Akise Aru X Reader)

Chapter 15 (under editting)

It's a sunny clear pretty hot for a spring day in Sakurami.

And here, in Akise's residence, the owner of the house, Akise Aru, is currently hesitating on something that he woke up unusually morning and even called his dear friends.

"Hello, Hina- yes, yes. I'm awfully early for an afternoon person like me and can I ask you for a favour?" Akise is currently calling Hinata.

"What favour?" Hinata answered from the other line.

"I kinda want to tell (f/n)-chan that I like her," Akise whisper-yelled.

"WHAT?! Umm... it's not a surprise actually, hahaha. You both are so canon. I'm also shipping you too. Well, that we already cleared the misunderstanding. I just wanted to say that I already shipped you two like forever," Hinata said from the other side of the phone. "I guess you just go and ask her and I'm sure she'll accept you,"

"You sure she'll accept me? What if she doesn't?" Akise frowned, really dislike the thought of you flat out rejected him and destroying your friendship in the end. I guess our Akise Aru still feel the anxiety of a man who wanted to confess their love to a lady.

"100,000% sure, she will and will be accepting you, and then my ship is sailing," and Hinata is squealing right now.

"Arghh, okay okay. So I will confess to her but can you ask her a few questions like, she wants someone to confess her like what or something to help me confess to her,"

"Dude..." Hinata said plus she's adding a dramatic pause. "I already asked that, and she answered with a shrug then said 'how they confess don't matter, all I want to see is if I can like him or not,' so muster up your courage and just confess to her,"

"Then the chance of me get accepted is like 0! I can't do that!! Go and give me a very very hard case and I'll do it but not confessing to her," and Akise is banging his head on his desk surface out of frustration.

"Aki, you okay?" Your voice behind the door makes Akise startled to the core and make him panicked for a moment.

"Uh... eh, ahahahaha. Yes, I'm fine. I'm good, perfect. Hahaha," Akise awkwardly answered at you.

'Weird, eh... he always weird,' you thought to yourself and shrugged it off, walked to where the toilet is.

"Uwahh... that's close," Akise huffed in relief.

"Muster up your courage, Akise-kun... ohh, I remember something great. There's a spring festival in Mikage Shrine, I'll send an invitation email to you so you and asked you to invite (f/n)-chan too, so it doesn't feel weird for you to invite her," Hinata said.

"That's a great idea," Akise said, feeling really grateful. "And thanks!!"

"No prob," Hinata answered and then she hung up. A moment later, there's an email for Akise from a Hinata. Just like what she said.

'Akise-kun, there's a spring festival in Mikage Shrine. Can you join us along with (f/n)-chan? Pleaseeee!! We will celebrate Mao's recovery there. If you two join, email me or Mao. We'll meet in front of the Tori Gate tomorrow at 6. You two!! Wear a yukata or kimono!!'

"Why I must wear a yukata anyway," Akise sweatdropped as he read the email and went to find you.

"(F/n)-chan," Akise called.

"Yeaa?"

"Hinata invited us to a spring festival in Mikage Shrine," Akise walked to the living room where you are as he waved around his phone.

"Really? Let me see," you snatched away Akise's phone and read the email.

"Ahahahahaha," you monotonously laughed then your expression changed in a blink of an eye. "I don't have a yukata,"
