Take my hand (Okuyasu x Reader ) Book 1

"Thanks." Okuyasu mumbles softly once again into (Y/N)'s ear, causing a light, tierd sounding chuckle to escape the girl's lips.

"Anything for you Oku."

Okuyasu's face instantly darkens with a blush at her soft gaze. Him feeling compleatly at a loss for words. No one had ever told him this, not even his brother.
His entire life he had been allowed to believe that he wasn't smart enough, not strong enough, worthelss, yet here sat someone who had so much more responsibility, who was given a life most people would think only existed in movies. She told him he was smart, that he was worth it even after he had been so aweful to her. Once again tears began to run down his cheeks, though this time they were tears of joy...his heart warmed from her.

"Oku? Why are you crying?" (Y/N) asks her brows furrowing, a scowel appearing on her face as she internally is freaking out.

"Y-you just said I was smart! No one's ever said that about me!!!!" He says loudly, a smile breaking onto his face, reminding her of their encounter when they were children..him still blissfully unaware.

"Oh. Well from what I've seen, you a special kind of smart. Your heart smart." (Y/N) relpies her features softening as she gains a far away look. "You always were."

Okuyasu looks at her confused, he wonders what she could mean by the last comment, he had only known her for a very short while yet she spoke as if she'd known him before this.

"What d-"

He is cut off by the front door being slamed open, (Y/N) and him jumping apart as if burned. He watches in shock as people in black armor come into the house and go through the rooms, a solidary scientist enters last...his hair gray and body fragile, a cane supporting him as he peers around the room, his tierd eyes land on (Y/N) as she places her hands over her mouth in shock...the room grows quiet.

"Starshine?" The man says, useing the nickname all the scientists had chosen as a term of endearment.

She stands from the couch quietly, her eyes locked on the form in front of her, walking ever closer...her face masking her emotions well. Her eyes telling the story, as she nears him the guards point thier guns towards her only for the old man to raise a wrinkled hand, signaling them to stand down, a soft smile coming to his well wrinkled face.

"Dr.Norbert..." She says her voice soft as she stops an arms length away from him.

The old man nods, his salt and pepper hair now snow white, but his eyes were as remarkably alive as ever. He smiles at her again, her body begining to shake lightly as she hides her tears well, eyes becoming a raging ocean.

"My how you've grown...i bet your stronger than ever, just like you promised." His voice replies, much more gravily than before but also softer, more fragile, much like him. " Can i have a magical hug? For old times sake?" His arms opening for the hug.

(Y/N)'s eyes squint with unshed tears as she quickly yet gently gathers his now smaller body against hers, a choked laugh coming from her as she does this. Okuyasu watches, wondering who this man could be, his eyes softening as he watches them embrace each other. After a few seconds, she steps away and a solumn look appers on her face.

"You know what happened don't you?" She asks, receiving a nod from the gentleman.

"You seem to be in a better state of mind then they thought you'd be." Dr.Norbert replied "they sent me in case you were on another rampage, what calmed you down this time?"

Her face grows red as her eyes flick towards Okuyasu, him busy looking at one of the guards. Dr.Norbert notices this and chuckles, much like he had all those years ago, making (Y/N)'s eyes flick back to him.
