In Blindsight (Astro boy X blind reader)

Tears and love

You stood at the doorway leading into the classroom. Astro glanced at you with a raised eyebrow.

"Y/N? Aren't you going to go in?" Astro questioned. You jumped slightly. You then sighed and nodded.

"Y-yeah, I just needed some time to think." You whispered. Astro frowned as he looked at you in concern. Before he could ask if you were alright, you opened the door and walked in. Astro followed behind you. The moment the two of you entered the classroom, everyone began to snicker.

"Hey look, the love birds walked in." Alvin cooed. You frowned in confusion. What lovebirds? Astro too, frowned at this. He then gave his friends questioning looks. His friends gave Astro sympathetic looks and pointed to the front smart board. Astro turned towards it and he gasped as his face reddened. On the board were pictures of you and Astro with hearts surrounding you both. You heard his gasp and turned towards him questioningly.

"Astro? What's the matter?" You questioned. Wendy glanced at her friends and they nodded. She then snuck up behind you and grabbed hold of your blindfold. She then slipped it off. You gasped and covered your eyes as Wendy stood proud.

"Hey guys, look! Y/N has been faking this whole time! She just wears the blindfold to cover her hideous eyes!" Wendy shouted as she raised your blindfold high into the air. Everyone immediately surrounded you just to see if she was telling the truth. Some people even tried to pry your arms away.

"Stop! Leave me alone!" You cried. Astro's eyes widened. He then growled and shoved everyone away.

"Get away from her!" Astro shouted. He then pulled you to his chest and you buried your face in it. Your eyes widened at the gesture. Everyone quietened down as Astro glared at them. "I can't believe that you'd all do that! Don't you realise what she's been through!? Y/N is incredibly strong for dealing with her current predicament, and all you could do is laugh. You!" Astro yelled as he pointed to Wendy. "You don't deserve to be called a friend. No friend would abuse their friend like that. You're a horrible person for doing what you did. Now, listen up! All of you! I'd better not see anyone harming Y/N in any way! You here me!? You will regret it later if you do, you've been warned." Astro threatened. Everyone stared at Astro with wide eyes. He nodded in satisfaction. He then snatched the blindfold from Wendy and guided you outside. You and Astro walked all the way into the courtyard until you were out of sight from everyone. Once you were alone, you separated yourself from Astro and looked away. Astro furrowed his brow in worry and reached his hand out to you.

"Why...did you do that?" You questioned. Astro blinked at you in surprise.

"Huh?" You clenched your fists and glanced at Astro.

"Why did you defend me like that? Now everyone will think you like me..." You drifted off as tears pricked the corners of your eyes. Astro frowned at you. He then used his thumb to wipe your tears away. You flinched at this.

"Let them think that." Astro told. Your eyes widened and you looked up at him in shock.

"W-what?" Astro gave you a serious look.

"Let them think that way. I couldn't care less what they thought, but I won't allow them to make you cry." Astro said as he cupped your cheeks. He then smiled warmly at you as his cheeks reddened. "Besides, they're...not entirely wrong." Your eyes widened at this and your cheeks reddened.

"H-huh?" You repeated. Astro let out a small sigh. He then glanced to the side and scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"Um, well, you see, sigh. I'll just come out and say it. I...like you. I really really like you, Y/N. And I always have." Astro told, his face getting redder and redder by the second. You stared at him with wide eyes.

"Y-you...like me?" You repeated. Astro turned towards you and stared into your ruby red orbs as he nodded.

"Yes, I've liked you for so long. Even when I was alive." Astro told. You gasped and took a step back in shock.

"W-wait, you mean Toby l-liked me?" You stuttered, your face now flaming red. Astro nodded.

"Yes, he did. He liked you so much. At first...I was worried that these feelings weren't mine, but then I got to fall in love with you all over again." Astro admitted as he smiled. Your face reddened even more at the word 'love'. Astro took a step towards you and held your hands in his. "When we met again, I had no idea who you were. That however gave me the opportunity to fall in love with you all over again, not as Toby, but as Astro." Astro explained. You glanced down at his hands in yours and back up at him.

"I-I..." You then glanced down at the ground. "I...to be honest...I'm not entirely sure what my feelings are towards Toby. But you..." Astro swallowed as he waited for you to continue. You bit the inside of your gum. You then looked up at Astro and smiled. "You've always been there for me, Astro. You've always been by my side. You've been my friend, my guard, my guide, you've been...my hero. And recently, you've been the person who has constantly been on my mind this whole time. Everyday I always think about the adventures we're going to have with the others. I fantasise about how we'll travel the world. I...think about all of these things." You told. Astro stared at you with wide eyes as you smiled up at him. You then closed your eyes as you smiled even more. "Astro, I love you so much. You've been my very best friend ever since the moment we met at Sparks's hideout. I...want to be more than friends." You admitted as you looked down, your cheeks the colour of cherries. Astro stared at you for a moment before smiling.

"I want that too." You looked up at Astro with wide eyes.

"Really? You do?" Astro smiled and nodded.

"Yeah! I want to be with you forever, Y/N. I want to do things with you that couples do." Astro told. You smiled brightly at Astro. You then hugged him tightly. Astro let out a surprised yelp. He then smiled and hugged you back. After a peaceful and comfortable silence passed, Astro's face reddened as he leaned back and smiled at you. "U-um, c-c-can I...uh..." You blinked at Astro.

"Yes?" You questioned. Astro swallowed.

"C-can I...k-kiss you?" Astro asked, embarrassment filling his entire being. Your eyes widened at the request and your face flushed red. You then glanced down and nodded.

"Y-yes, you may." You told. Astro smiled at you. He then grabbed hold of your face and swallowed. He had never kissed anyone before so this was a first. Luckily for him, it was the same for you. You closed your eyes as the two of you slowly leaned in towards each other. Astro paused for a moment before his lips met yours. However, he was a bit quick so he had accidentally pinched your lips. "Ow!" You cried and held your sore lips. Astro gasped.

"Are you okay!? Sorry, this is my first time." Astro admitted, his face red from both you and the embarrassment he felt at that very moment. You giggled and smiled at him.

"It's my first time too. How about we try again, except no rushing this time." You said. Astro smiled and nodded. The two of you then leaned in towards each other slowly until your lips met once again. Fireworks were set off in your chest as Astro wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer to him. You wrapped your arms around his neck and leaned into the kiss. You felt so happy at this moment. You were finally with the one you loved, and he loved you back. Soon, you both had to separate due to the lack of air. Now, this wouldn't have been a problem to Astro but you on the other hand, it was. You and Astro stared at each other with red faces. The two of you then grinned and collapsed onto the floor while laughing.

"Ah, who would have thought that our first kiss would have turned out like that?" Astro said as he laid down on the grass. You rested your head on his chest and smiled.

"Not me, but I don't mind. There will be plenty more opportunities for us to show our love to each other." You told. Astro glanced down at you and smiled and nodded. He then looked up at the sky and closed his eyes along with you. For the rest of the day, you and Astro stayed under the warm afternoon sun as you enjoyed each other's company.
