Fuuka Yamagishi x Male!Reader (P3)

As you walked beside the timid teal-haired girl, you couldn't help but smile a bit. It's been about a month since you started dating, and her being shy, to others your relationship appeared to be that of friends.

You didn't mind too much, after all that was one of the reasons you fell in love with her. But sometimes you'd catch yourself gazing at her hands for a moment too long, and then you'd be the embarrassed one. 

"Y/n-kun, are you alright? We can always do this another time." Fuuka reassured you, being kind as always.  You were actually joining her on her walk so the two of you could study, as she was quite smart. 

You didn't mind too much about your grades, but when she offered with a pink face, you wouldn't have even dreamt of saying no! 

"H-Huh? Oh no, I'm fine. Just zoning out is all." You said with a chuckle. 

She nodded, face softening in her relief. "Oh, I see. D-Don't force yourself too much, okay?"

You smiled at her. "I know that. Thanks Fuuka."

With her completion being so pale, it was easy to see when she was blushing.  Her eyes darted down to her now entwined fingers, avoiding eye contact. 

"You don't need to thank me for that..." She replied bashfully. "A-Anyways, I hope the dorm will be alright. My house is kind of..."

You rose your hand waved it slightly in a gentle dismissal. "No, the dorm is good! How is it there, anyway?"

With the topic of conversation being changed, Fuuka appeared much more willing to speak, her previous shy demeanour just a memory. At least for now, that is. 

"Oh, it's very good! It can be a bit... Busy sometimes." She said slowly.

You tilted your head in confusion, but didn't ask further. Busy? Well, a couple of people did live there with her...

"Well I'm glad you like it there. You seem a lot happier." You observed.

Fuuka's lips parted in surprise. "I-Is that so?"

"Yeah! You smile a lot more now." You told her warmly, your tone matching the temperature  of her face. 

"Well, that's... I just have a lot to be be happy about..." She trailed off, and despite feeling embarrassment, she looked back at you with a smile of her own. The eye contact didn't last for long as she gasped lightly, walking a bit faster than usual.

"U-Um, here it is!" She said, gesturing to the large doors ahead. You couldn't help but feel a little let down, but tried to not let it get to you. You just wanted Fuuka to be more comfortable with you, but it seemed like that might be a while away...

The dorm was quite spacious, it almost reminding you more of a hotel. A couple of people were seated in the lounge area not far from the entrance. 

"Welcome back. Oh, it seems you brought a guest?" The voice belonged to your senpai, Misturu. It would have been strange for you not to know with how influential and popular she was in the school.

Looking quite startled, Fuuka took a moment to respond. "Um, that's right! This is Y/n-kun, my... Well..." 

"Fuuka's helping me study." You spoke up. Your girlfriend exhaled, looking at you with gratitude. 

Misturu nodded to herself, folding her arms. "I see. There's no problem with that."

"We'll be going then..." Fuuka excused herself, and looked as if she was going to lightly tug only your sleeve only to stop midway through the action. 

Her face glowed a rosy tint before she quickly walked towards the stairs, leaving you to ponder what just happened.

Fuuka's dorm room was quite homey, the yellow walls matching the large rug over the wooden floorboards. There were squares shelves filled with bits and bobs, and a vanity beside it. 

There was a table placed in the middle of the room, suited for studying. The session itself went smoothly, but at times when Fuuka would lean in to check your work, she'd always catch herself and back up. 

You understood her reluctance to be close, as you were her first boyfriend. However even when knowing that you couldn't stop yourself from feeling hurt. Did she not want to be close to you at all? Thinking that, you ending up becoming silent, only focusing on your work. 

On the brighter side of things, you did get a lot of revision done. You stretched a bit once you finished, your eon falling out between the spaces of your fingers and to the floor. It wasn't a big deal as you could just reach for it, but...

"Ah!" A surprised noise left Fuuka's lips as she looked down at her hand. It over the pen, and your palm covered her hand. It took you a moment a moment notice, especially since this was the first time the two of you had any skin contact that would be comparable to a normal couple's. 

Although you were happy, you also remembered Fuuka's apparent dislike for this kind of thing, and lifted your hand, feeling dejected. That is, you planned to.

Catching you by surprise, Fuuka leaned forward and hurriedly placed her hand on top of yours. Despite her being responsible for the action, she looked startled herself.

"Um... Fuuka." You spoke. Her pale face noticeably reddened. 

"Wh... What is it?"

You hesitated. "Well... You don't have to force yourself. I said so, didn't I? If you don't want to be close to me, then I-"

"That's not it!" She quickly disagreed, then immediately looked apologetic for her uncharacteristic outburst. "It's not that I don't want to be..."

You waited for clarification, uncertain on the meaning of her words. It took her a few moments to finally meet your eyes.

"I just noticed you seemed sad, and I'd hate to think that'd be my fault..." She said quietly. 

You shook your head. "It's not your fault."

"E-Even still, I want to a bit more brave!" Fuuka exclaimed with conviction. "It's because I want to be close, that I'm a little scared, but..."

Your beating heart, previously feeling heavy with your worries and insecurity now felt lighter than a feather as you smiled. "I understand. Don't push yourself though, alright?"

The corner of her lips turned up once again as her face brightened. "Yeah... Thank you, Y/n-kun." 

The way she was smiling at you without averting her eyes, and having such a  soft expression on her face, you couldn't control the blush rising up on your own. 

"I-It's nothing, really..." You raised a hand to fiddle with your hair. 

Fuuka chuckled a bit at your reaction, her blush rivalling yours. Then she looked down at your joined hands with fondness.

"My hands are usually cold because I'm inside a lot, but like this... They feel really warm." She confessed with a giggle. "Ah, that's quite embarrassing, isn't it...?" 

You were feeling flustered yourself, so you found yourself silently agreeing. But something like this, being so close to someone you loved who was so shy, you thought it would just be a faraway dream. And so, from the feeling of her warming fingers intertwining with yours, you knew it was very real.

A/N: I think it's my writer's block, but I always get a little unsure when I'm writing these now. 

Is there anything you think I could improve on? Let me know! 

Also, Fuuka is super cute in P3D! I can't wait for her character trailer. ^^
