Ryuji X Reader

Ryuji had been falling behind on his studies worse than usual. With the exams coming up, he was in some serious danger of having to repeat the grade.
Because of his lack of intelligence he was banned from the phantom thieves so he could study.

"That effin' cat!" Ryuji shouted into his textbooks. "Who the hell does he think he is!? He can't just ban me from the phantom thieves!" Ryuji slammed his fist on the table, causing all of the textbooks to clatter, some falling to the floor.

"Daaaaaamn, I know right? How dare that cat prevent you from stealing hearts so you can improve on your studies."
Lazily picking up the books, you look back to Ryuji with an annoyed expression. "And how dare he tell me to stay behind as well to act as your tutor!" Honestly, you were happy to be spending time with Ryuji. He was the boy you like after all. To bad you weren't honest with your feelings.

"Can't you just study quietly Ryuji!?" It was your turn to shout. "If you stop complaining and study, then you can pass your test and join the phantom thieves again. Easy, right?"

"Ugh!" Ryuji slams his head against the table, making you wince, and pouts. "It's not like I'm not trying... It's just..."
You lean in closer to him to hear what he's mumbling. "Just what?"
"Look I understand I have to pass school and all, but what happens after that? I guess I'm just not motivated..." He looked directly into your eyes as he spoke.

"Not motivated?" You repeated. An idea suddenly brewed in your mind and you smirked. A creepy laugh escaped your lips catching Ryuji's attention.
"Why ya laughing like that (Y/n)!? It's creeping me out dude." He began to shiver from the evil vibe you were giving him.

"Don't worry Ryuji I'm not thinking of anything bad." You picked up a book and placed it in front of the blond. "Hows about we make a bet? If you can pass the upcoming test, I'll tell you what motivates me. I'll even give you something amazing." You rested your chin on your hand and gave Ryuji a smile.
"Something amazing?" He repeated. "For real!? What are you going to give me?"
You poked the textbook and chuckled. "Hehe~ My lips are sealed. If you pass the test you'll find out. Hows that for motivation?"
"Ugh... I wanna know so badly. It better be something awesome! I'm gonna study until I can't cram anything else into my head!" Ryuji pumped his fist in the air while resuming his studies.

"I don't know ryuji your head's pretty empty." You sighed and stared at the boy. "But I believe in you." You whisper.

The next week Ryuji had came back with decent marks on his test.

"Check it out (Y/n)! I passed all of my exams!" Ryuji was bragging about his test scores with a confident smile.
"You just barely passed..." You sighed.
"Sh-shut up! You said all I had to do was pass! Now where's my prize?"

"I know what I said. First I'll tell you what motivates me." You got closer to Ryuji and poked his chest. "You. I want to be by your side when we graduate from school. I want to be the one who motivates you."
Ryuji opened his mouth to speak, but you put a finger to his lips.
"This is embarrassing so don't talk!" His face was just as red as yours. "Now your prize..."

Getting on your tip toes, you kissed Ryuji on the lips. "I like you Ryuji. So start taking school seriously so we can be together!"
