Anime One Shots

Edgar A. Poe x F!Reader (BSD)

(A/N): My first one shot. He is from Bungou Stray Dogs. My girlfriend and I have been binge watching this and he is my favorite. So here goes nothing.

**************************************************************************

It is a beautiful night to go to your bench at the park. There is a slight breeze to keep the stickiness of the summer heat away. and the sun is starting to go down so the temperature is starting to drop to a more comfortable level. You are about to pull out your book of short stories when you notice a man sitting on the bench cross from your usual one. He is reading a book, and there is an animal curled around his neck. You walk to the bench and sit down with your book in hand and start to read one of the many short stories inside.

You find yourself looking up because you feel someones eyes on you. As you look up you make awkward eye contact with the man sitting across from you. He looks away first and you go back you your book. But moments later you feel his eyes on you again so you look up. This time you notice his beautiful purple eyes and you can't look away this time. But he does and right away you realize he is shy. So you decide to try and talk to him and see what he will say.

"Hello, I've never seen you here before. Is this your first time coming to this park to read?" you can't help but smile slightly when he looks around slightly to see if you night be talking to someone else. Then he finally replies.

"Yes, This is my first time here." He leaves it at that and you decide to try and get a bit more out of him.

"I'm here regularly, do you usually go another place to read?" He looks at his book for a moment and then back at you to reply.

"I try and go somewhere new every time I go out." again he leaves his answer short but manages to get his point across in one line.

You ask another question, "So who is the little guy on your shoulders?" To you it looks like a raccoon because of the bushy ringed tail. It will definitely be a first for you if in fact it is a raccoon.

"Oh him...his name is Karl. He is my pet raccoon." He takes a pause and then asks a question of his own and you are getting somewhere finally. "Would you like to pet him?"

"He is friendly? I can honestly say I've never pet a raccoon before." You get up and sit beside him on his bench. You don't touch him, you sit just close enough so you can reach the fuzzy guy on his shoulder. You hold your hand out to let him sniff it. Then he touches your hand with his cold nose and you just lightly scratch at his head and behind his ear. "He is so soft. Do you mind if I ask your name?"

"You want to know my name? Its Edgar... do you mind if I know yours?" He is all shy and hides behind his long brown hair.

"I don't mind at all, my name is [y/n]." you smile at him and try to get a bit closer with him so that he might want to come reading with you again. You actually are starting to like him a bit and want to see just where this would go with him. "Where do you plan on reading next? I have plans to come here tomorrow." You awkwardly try to make plans with him. You don't know how well it will go because he seems so shy and quiet and might not want to.

But he gives you and answer, "I don't have plans tomorrow so we can meet here if you would like." You look at him and blink a few times in surprise.

You finally have some brain function and reply, "Yes, that would be good. I can come here right after I have breakfast tomorrow. So does 10 sound good to you?"

After that day you and him make plans to see each other at least twice a week for a few months.

Then it grows to you inviting him to your house. Once he has come there a few times he asks if maybe you want to go to his house. You realize that where you work is closer to his house than your's and it becomes a regular thing that you start going to his house for dinner almost everyday after work. After about four months of you guys hanging out and seeing each other all of the time you want to see what he considers your relationship to be. So while you are eating dinner with him you ask. "Edgar, do you think of me as just a friend? Or maybe something more than that?" You push the food around on your plate as you wait nervously for his answer. As usual it takes him some time to reply.
