Akira Kurusu x Shy!Fem!Reader (P5) [3]

"So are you going out with him today, too?" Ann asked, her smile bright.

You nodded, feeling the corners of your lips turns up without you meaning them to. Ann chuckled slightly, patting your shoulder. As you were Akira's girlfriend, his friends became yours as well, and they were all so friendly, especially Ann who loved to hear about your time with your boyfriend.

"You two are so cute. Invite me to the wedding, okay?" 

Your cheeks felt hot. "A-Ann...!" 

She only laughed in response. To be honest, you didn't hate the idea. Although Akira and you have just been together for about a month, you couldn't be happier. You'd both go out to places like Inokashira Park or Jinbosho Book Store. It didn't matter where he took you really, because you were just happy with him.

You especially appreciated it as he always seemed to busy, but he was always organised. Although sometimes he did cancel, he was always apologetic so you didn't mind too much.

Speak of the devil, someone put a hand on your head causing you to jump.

"Hey." Akira said, placing his hands in his pockets. You smiled at him, you just couldn't help it.

"Well, I think I have stuff to do. I'll leave you lovebirds alone." Ann winked at you, getting up from her seat. You were too flustered to reply, but even if you were able to, you couldn't as she had already left the room. 

"How are you?" Akira finally asked, not paying any mind to what the blonde has said. 

"Oh, I'm fine! G-Great, actually." You answered. Morgana popped up by Akira's shoulder, meowing at you. 

You stroked his fur with a giggle. "It's nice to see you too, Morgana."

Akira tried not to stare too much at your face, and instead moved his gaze to Ann's abandoned desk. "I have something to ask."

Curious, you tipped your head to the side. "What is it?"

"Do you... Want to come with me to where I live?" His voice was calm as usual, but there was an underlying anxiety in his tone.

You were too surprised to answer for a moment before you gave him a vigorous nod. "Y-yes, I'd love to!"

His expression seemed to relax just a tad, and he held a small smile. "Good. Is after school alright for you?"

"Of course, I'm free!" You responded, unable to contain the happiness in your voice. 

He lifted a hand to push up his glasses, a little habit you've noticed him doing a lot around you. "I'll see you after class then." 

With that he gave you a short wave, you of course mirroring the gesture. Just in time as the bell had rung.

Thankfully Ann came back. When she caught sight of you in your desk she beamed at you, making you direct your eyes to your lap. She always wanted to know the details, but it was out of support. It's not like you hated talking about Akira anyway, and it was nice to have someone listen attentively.

After class had finally finished, Akira approached you at your desk. Looking over his shoulder, you could see Ann grinning at you before leaving class herself. You tried to force down the blush you knew was already on your face.

"You ready?" Akira asked. His sudden question made you jump a bit.

"Y-yeah, let's go." 

Akira slipped his hand into yours, his warmth immediately becoming a comfort. You squeezed it unconsciously, and he led you it of the classroom. Of course people did stare, as your boyfriend was infamous despite being wrongfully accused, and you were still known as the 'new girl' although you were here for at least a month.
