old and new (akira kurusu x reader)

007

after another 30 minutes, or so, the group had left you, akira, and morgana alone. ryuji had gone to take ann to the train station, makoto and yusuke had gone off to get food, and futaba had left with uncle. 

you turned to akira and let out all the questions you had pent up for him. they ranged from questions like, "what was that?" to "what the hell did i do to make them all angry" 

he kept assuring you that it wasn't your fault and that it was bound to happen either way. he made a point to say that at least they had the guts to apologize to you when you had gone back. 

"well speaking of weird things, why was your knee covered in blood?" 

you didn't want to tell him that you had almost broke a man's nose on the way back, "i fell" 

"liar, you don't have any scratch marks on your knees."

"i'm wearing sweats, how can you see?" 

"pull them up then" 

"no it's too cold" 

he came up and pushed his finger lightly into your knee, "if you were really injured, you would've flinched" he said confidently. 

"fine fine, you caught me in the act" 

he laughed at your response, "so what did happen" 

"some guy on the way back tried to convince me to let him take me out and that we'd have fun" you explained, "i didn't like it and so i fought back and ran off" you said confidently. 

"girls that can fight are always the best girls" he smiled. 

"you know it" 

for the rest of the night, the both of you discussed about your futures after high school and absurd dreams that the both of you had as a child. 

the both of you fell asleep in akira's bed, savoring the warmth that he had offered you. you fell into a too deep of a sleep. 

you awoke to a familiar feeling, although you don't recall from where. you opened your eyes and the room around you was blue. everything seemed so off. were you in an elevator? you saw a small old man sitting at a table in front of you. you approached him and he smiled. 

you could see his lips move, but no sound omitted from them. he smirked once again, and you awoke in your body, the one sleeping right next to akira. 

you jolted awake and quickly sat upright, also awaking akira from his sleep. 

"(y/n) are you okay? your breathing is off" 

you inhaled and exhaled calmly and then looked at akira, "its nothing, just another weird dream" you said. 

"okay good, glad to know you weren't harmed" he lied back down in the bed and you did the same. 

"goodnight (y/n)" 

"goodnight akira" you said before you drifted off into sleep once more. 

— the fact that i had enough time to plan out what i wanted my story to be rewritten into and actually follow through with it is ASTOUNDING
