K.O x Reader x TKO!

|| First meeting ||

Your day was going terribly.

That's the only way to put it.

And really it seemed like it was going to end just as bad as it started.

You had been woken up early to a freezing bed, drenched with water because your (brother/sister) thought a cool joke was in order at 6:00 am. Also the fact that you had to clean it was even more hilarious to them.

You've already had an early run in with your bullies who love to see you suffer, new bruises already forming from your encounter.

And not to mention that you seem to have fallen on your face 10 times at the least.

Sighing, you walked into Gar's Bodega - at least you could but yourself a treat to cheer you up. You took a few steps in, looking around to see if the store was any good and continued in. After a minuet of walking around, you couldn't seem to find anything that could help lighten your horrible mood. Defeat consuming you, you went to turn around and leave only to bump into someone, knocking them over. You felt your heart stop and your cheeks flush. "Clutz!" You mentally hissed at yourself as you look to who you knocked over.

On the floor, a child your age was lying down still mid-shock with his eyes screwed shut. He had chocolate brown hair, tan-ish skin, a red bandana, a white tank top, dark blue shorts and a blue sleeve-less jacket. He didn't have any shoes on and he had pink leg warmers. His eyes slowly opened to reveal deep brown eyes that met your (eye colour) ones. You both stared at each other for a moment before you came back to reality and held out a hand to help him up.

"S-Sorry! I wasn't paying attention." You mumbled, your embarrassment showing in your now scarlet cheeks. He glanced at your hand before a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, I should have been paying attention myself. I'm K.O." He beamed, taking your hand and pulling himself up. He dusted himself off before looking back to you. "Did you uh...need help?"

Your eyebrow raised at his question before his name tag caught your eye. "Oh!" You gasped. "He works here."

"I was just looking for something sweet to lighten my mood. I'm having a terrible day." You explained. His smile faltered at the mention of your terrible day. "Would you happen to have any recommendations on what to get?"

And with that, his eyes lit up and his smile returned to normal.

"Of course! I'm an expert!" He assured you. He led you around the isles giving different recommendations on candies, slowly starting to side track and ramble on about his favourite heroes and how he wanted to be one.

"That sounds great. I'm sure you'll make a great hero." You smiled. His cheeks caught a slight red tint before he chuckled.

"Thanks." He grinned. You suddenly remembered what you came in for and picked up (candy).

"I guess this is all I need." You declared. "Thanks for the help K.O!"

"No problem." He shrugged. "Stop by any time. I enjoy your company!"

You nodded and went to the check out. After paying you left and started eating. You day really wasn't going to turn out so bad after all.

//K.O's PoV//

I watched as she left the Bodega. She was nice. Though it was a shame she was having a terrible day. I went to leave the isle, turning only to be met by something bright pink. Looking up I found it was the clothed leg of my bestie, Rad. He a weird look on his face.

"Hi Rad!" I greeted with a smile. He didn't reply, instead, he hoisted me into his arms and he took me over to Enid who, as always, was swinging on her stool with her eyes closed.

"Hey Enid." Rad whispered, setting me down by the till. Enid's opened and she sighed.

"What?"

"K.O'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND!"

I instantly felt my cheeks go hot with embarrassment.

"W-What? No! I-I barely know her! I didn't even catch her name!" I admitted, only now realising that I really didn't get her name. Rad and Enid glanced at each other before wide smiles grew on their faces.

"Does he really?" Enid asked.
"No!" I shouted.
"Yeah! The girl with the (hair colour) hair that walked out a minuet ago!" Rad grinned.
"No way!" Enid squealed.
"Shut up!" I demanded, my cheeks burning. "She's not my girlfriend!"

"Whatever you say K.O..." Enid seemed to whisper, a smirk on her face as she retired back to her leaning position.

Rad scooped me off the counter and walked me to the back of the store.

"Don't worry squirt, I'll help you out." He said, wiggling his eyebrows. I didn't get what he meant so I walked off, getting back to work and getting my mind off the friendly teasing I was receiving.
