Boring Affection [Akira Kurusu x Reader]

Chapter 1

Akira wakes up in a, luckily not crowded, train. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for riding with us today. We will be arriving at Shibuya shortly." A lady on the intercom informed. Akira started to look around, spotting some random sighs, but he then looked back down to his lap. "This is the last stop for this line. Please transfer here for all subway lines. The doors to your left will open." The woman continued. Suddenly Akira started to recall something.

A drunken man grabbed a helpless woman. The woman started to panic "please help!!" She shouted. Akira grabbed the man's shoulder, which caused the drunken man to collapse and hit his head. Akira was stun by what he just did "damn brat, I'll sue!" The man yelled. It suddenly cuts to a confused Akira being carried away by the police.

Akira frown at this memory, but he turned and saw two girls, about his age, indulging in a conversation. "What! Are you for real. A mental shutdown." One of the girls questioned. "It's the truth!" The other girl argued. "To a person though, tch it gotta be joke. You really love all at occult stuff, don't you." They both giggled.

Akira just got off the train and is now walking along the crosswalk of Shibuya. All of a sudden, he bumped into someone, because of this, the person's gray baseball cap fell to the ground. Akira crouched down and grab it, but before he could apologize, the person snatched the hat out of his hand and sped off.

Akira very confused. He didn't even get to see the mysterious person's face. Either way, he looked at his phone and saw a mysterious application pop up on his phone. He started to tap on the screen.

Akira looked behind him and saw a man suddenly freezing in place. Akira grew even more confused as everybody around him started to freeze. Then out of nowhere a blue flame showed up and started to take form into something and soon had a face and a Akira with yellow eyes and a crooked smirk on his face suddenly popped up.

Akira then blinked and everything turned back to normal. Everyone was up and move like normally. Akira looked at his phone and deleted the mysterious app.

Akira, after kindly asking for directions, finally made it to the house he has been looking for.

The nameplate here says "Sakura." It looks like this might be Sojiro Sakura's house...

He rung the doorbell and stood there for a a awkward amount of time.

...Even after ringing the doorbell, it doesn't look like anyone will answer the door. Maybe he's gone out...

"Looks like no one's home..." Akira turned around to see who's voice that belonged to. "Oh, yeah... Sakura-san's usually at his cafe around this time." Explained a parcel deliveryman.

"Well, Leblanc's in the back alley, so I should make my other deliveries first... Mmm, next I need to take this package to..." he continued. Akira took the hint and left to look for the cafe.

After 5 minutes or so of looking, Akira finally found the Leblanc. He went inside the pleasant looking cafe. "A public transit bus was driven down an opposing lane with its customers still in it! The citizens can't live in peace if this keeps up." A man on TV shouted.

"How frightening." A elderly man sitting at a booth said. "What could be going on? Didn't something similar happen just the other day?" A elderly woman questioned.

"Vertical is... the name of a shellfish used for farming pearls..." the supposed manager said, not caring for the conversation.

Though soon enough he noticed Akira standing that the door. "...Oh, right." He put his newspaper on the counter while getting up. "They did say that was today." He stated.
