In Blindsight (Astro boy X blind reader)

Thoughts

You tapped your pen against your cheek as you thought of the equation through your head. You were currently seated at your desk in your room, studying. Ever since you were captured by that madman of a scientist, your parents were a lot more strict when it came to your studying and your curfew. You glanced at the time and saw that it was almost time for school to end for your friends and smiled. You were allowed to stop studying when that time rolled around so that you could hang out with your friends. You packed your things away just as your mother walked into your room and frowned at you.

"Y/N, it's not that time yet. You still have five minutes left." Your mother said disapprovingly. You sweat dropped and stood up.

"But it's not like I'll get that much done in the last five minutes. Can't I use this time to go and get ready to meet my friends?" You questioned. Your mother continued to frown at you. She then sighed and turned around.

"Alright, I'll allow you to leave early. But this is the only time that this is happening." Your mother said sternly before leaving the room. You grinned and grabbed your blind fold and walking stick. You then grabbed your bag and walked out of your room and left the house.

You listened to the bustling crowds as you walked along the street. You had to walk through town just to get to the surface considering you lived in the city. Someone bumped into you, knocking you to the ground. You landed on the ground with an 'oof' and sat up. You then frowned and felt around for your walking stick. Once you found it, you stood up and sighed.

"Y/N? Is that you?" You jumped and whipped your head around to see who had called your name. Then it hit you. You couldn't see their faces. You mentally face palmed. You gripped your walking stick tightly and leaned forwards.

"Um, who is it that I'm speaking to?" You questioned. You heard a sigh and they reached forwards. They then lifted up your blindfold slightly and your eyes widened. It was your old group of friends! You took a step back and feigned a smile. "O-oh! Hey guys." You greeted. Your 'friends' glanced at each other and smiled slightly at you.

"Hey, how come you don't come to school anymore?" One of your friends asked.

"W-well, I don't want to scare anyone. I mean...I scared you, didn't I?" You questioned. You practically heard your friends' bodies flinch and tense up. You smiled and turned around. "It's okay, I'll return to school when I'm ready."

"But-" You waved to them and walked through the crowd. Once you were far enough, you sat on a nearby bench and let out a heavy breath. You then held your head in your arms.

"I really am a freak...how can I go back to school when I frighten people?" You asked yourself. You then sighed and leaned back on the park bench. "Will I ever return to school?" You asked yourself.

"Only if you want to." You gasped and shot up. You then heard a familiar chuckle. "Calm down, it's only me." You sighed when you realised that it was only Astro and you smiled at him.

"Oh, it's you. You should have told me that you were here." You laughed. Astro grinned and nodded.

"Yeah, sorry about that." Astro then cocked his head to the side in confusion. "But are you alright? You seemed...distressed." You sighed and glanced to the side.

"It's nothing really." Astro frowned at this.

"It doesn't seem like nothing. You were muttering under your breath earlier. You can trust me, what's wrong?" Astro inquired. You sat down on the bench and Astro sat down next to you.

"Well, earlier I ran into my old friends. They were asking if I was ever going to return to school. But...they're afraid. I can tell." You admitted. Astro's eyes widened. He then frowned and took your hand in his.
