Boring Affection [Akira Kurusu x Reader]

Chapter 8

It's been a few day since the group stole Kamoshida's Treasure and the only thing that seemed to have happened to him is that he put himself under suspension but other than that nothing has changed.

Currently Akira was about to leave school until he spotted a girl with a certain gray hat sitting on the steps of the school staring at note in her hand.

The black haired teen walked up to the unsuspecting girl. "(Y/N)?" The female yelped in surprise. "Mach- oh, it's just you..."

"What do you have there?" Akira tried to look at the note but (Y/N) quickly stuffed it in her bag. "It's none of your concern."

"...Anyways, what do you what?" (Y/N) looked up at the teen. "Do you want to hang out?" Akira tilted his head.

"You seriously wanna hang out with someone like me?... Haha." (Y/N) laughed but Akira only gave her a confused look. "O-Oh, you weren't kidding."

"Um, alright... Sit down, I guess." Akira nodded, sitting down next to (Y/N). When he put his bag down Morgana jumped out of it and turned to Akira. "I'll leave you two alone. Call me when you're done." They said before walking off.

"So, is there anything you want to ask in particular?" (Y/N) asked as she sat criss cross. "Your eyes..." Akira answered straight forwardly.

"Oh... so you've noticed huh? Well I guess I should explained it to you since we're acquaintances and all." (Y/N) said. Akira gave her a questioning look. (Y/N) took a moment to figure out how to explain it.

The girl took in a deep breath then letting out a sigh. "OK, let start from the beginning shall we...?" She clapped hands together.

"When I was little, I used to have natural (E/C) colored eyes like most people did but after an event happened in my family... My eye color changed to gray and would turn to red whenever I experienced a bad feeling like anger, fear, frustration ect. As it turns out, it was because of a illness that has been pass down in my Mom's side of the family and that both the effects and cure tends to be different for most people though if you have siblings they are more than likely to have the same effects and cure. Either way, I tend to be able to control my eyes turning to red about twenty percent of the time. Anyways through middle school and my first year here, people tended to make fun of me for it. That's why I wear this hat... To avoid anyone seeing my eyes, though it usually doesn't work. But I still wear it because someone very important gave it to me."

Akira tilted his head. "Who is this important someone?" He asked out of curiously. (Y/N) hesitated at first but decided that it would be good to finally talk to someone about her.

"Um... You remember back at the Palace when Kamoshida was talking about someone taking the blame for me...?"

Akira nodded in response. "Fujiko, was it?" (Y/N) flinched a little at the name. "Yeah, that's her..."

"When I came to Shujin for my first year of high school, people quickly found out about my eyes and either tried to avoid me or bullied me for it. All but Fujiko... She was a second year that liked to help out people. She even helped me out by always scaring away bullies. She was my only companion at the time and I grew a great admiration for her." (Y/N) blushed at her last sentence.

"She gave me this hat as sigh of her appreciation for me being by her side." (Y/N) suddenly frowned.

"...But little did I know that she was in a deep state of depression. The only reason why she didn't do "it" earlier was because of me... She couldn't handle the guilt of leaving me behind so she decided to make a plan to make something so terrible happen to her that she would have no choice but to take her own life... And the plan succeeded. For a while, people said that I was the reason Fujiko killed herself. That I was blackmailing her into hanging out with me and that she couldn't handle being blackmailed anymore so she resorted to killing herself. Even though her suicide letter explained the whole thing but I couldn't show it to anyone because once I read it, her family took it away from me."
