A Long Lasted Bond (Akechi X Reader)

11. Chattering

The next day I met Ryuji at the train station. He walked towards me with a smile on his face.

"Hey Y/N, wassup? You feelin' better today?". Ryuji placed a hand on my shoulder.

I nodded happily. "Yeah! Thanks for asking!"

I was really in a good mood today. Yesterday was a really nice day, and Akechi brightened up my spirit.

Ryuji and I walked together into the train and then to the school gate.

"You didn't forget our meeting today, did ya? You wanted to tell me somethin'", he helped my bad memory and looked at me, with a bright face. Actually, I forgot it. I laughed at myself.

"Well, actually there's no need to talk anymore. I'm fine now, everything is solved!"

Ryuji pouted. "Oh c'mooon, at least tell me what happened! Pleaaase?", he asked while looking at me with puppy eyes. I giggled and nodded then. "Fine, let's meet after school then".

We arrived at school, but unfortunately I didn't meet Ann before class began. Maybe I can catch her in the break time. Which I tried with success. I told her everything that happened yesterday, and just as I predicted, she was fangirling.

"AWWWW that's just so CUTE! I bet he TOTALLY fell for you! After all, he did research to meet you!", she laughed and I really couldn't help but laugh too, although I was embarrassed as hell.

"Ann, you're exaggerating. We just met again and it's not possible to fall for someone this fast". I ignored my own heartbeat when I thought about Akechi, which literally seems to refute my statement. But I didn't love him just yet. Thats'd be absurd...right..?

"Oh Y/N, please don't be so dumb! Who else would act like this? Well, I definitely wouldn't with someone I don't like!", Ann stated and pinched my cheeks slightly. "I'd be so excited if you'd be in a relationship! Please, let me be your relationship adviser!"

I giggled and pushed her hands away from my cheeks. "Oh gods Ann, you're embarrassing me! We won't get in a relationship so fast. We are childhood friends, that would be....I don't know. I just remember him from the past, that's all. But!". I put my finger up and then point it towards Ann. "If I'll ever get in a relationship with anyone, I'd definitely choose you as my adviser"

Ann clapped her hands in excitement and cheered. "Yaaaay!! You'll be mine too then!"

At her words I raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? You mean when you'll finally get together with...Ryuji?", I smirked.

Ann widened her eyes and slapped my shoulder. "Y/N!! Don't say that!! That's so NOT true!", she literally screamed while a blush creeped on her face and I laughed my head off.

We made fun of each other, but were seperated by the school bell. After school, I met up with Ryuji, as promised. We went to his Ramen shop together and, obviously, ate ramen. Ryuji was really happy, and I giggled at his happiness about ramen.

"So, Y/N, you wanna spill the tea?"

And then I told him the whole story. What my feelings were before the meeting yesterday, and what happened and what I feel now. He listened to it with full attention, and his facial expressions meanwhile showed his reactions. After I finished with my presentation, he exhaled strongly and pushed his now empty ramen box away.

"Well, this guy totally got something for ya. I mean, who the hell acts like this with a girl he just met??", Ryuji stated and I sighed.

"Why does everyone say that? That's not the case! I can tell"

"Awww c'mon, you shy about it? It's not your fault if he already likes you though!"

I frowned. 'Why should he like me? We just met!'

We paid our bill and left the ramen shop. Ryuji chuckled and I looked at him with a questioning expression.

"I'm glad you trust me enough to talk to me about stuff like that! We should hang out more often!"

I giggled. "Ryuji we don't know each other for this long, and we already met twice! But, now that you said it, why don't we meet up togther with Ann?"

Ryuji's face expression grew confused. "Why should we do that?"

I groaned. "Don't be so mean Ryuji! After all, you know each other! Why not stay in touch? I'm sure you'd get along very well!"

He sighed in defeat. "Okay, you won. Why not?". I smirked mentally. 'That's karma, Ann...'

"Then it's settled! Shall we meet up this weekend?"

Ryuji nodded, and I texted Ann to let her know we'd meet up with his future husband. Hehehe....

I decided to go to work today. It was a pretty casual day at Diner. Casual number of guests. Ayumi, Mikami and me are working great together. I couldn't hope for better colleagues.

It was 9PM now, and I decided to call it a day. It was Friday and I wanted to have weekend. So I made my way to my apartment, as I suddenly remembered something. I wanted to call Akechi! ....should I call or text him? Since I am walking in the sunset and it's getting dark, I'd be feeling better to call him. But a text is advantageous, because you can think of what to write next.

But I just decided to call him. I couldn't deny it, I wanted to hear his voice somehow...

I took a deep breath and touched the button which called Akechi's phone. I waited patiently until he accepted the call. And then I heard his voice.

"Y/N! You finally called! What took you so long?"

I smiled at his impatience. "I'm sorry Akechi, I had a long day of school and then I went to work. But now I'm on my way to my home!"

It seemed he made a brief break before he spoke up again. "Where are you right now?"

"Uhh...at Shibuya, central street. Why?"

"Do you want to visit me?"

I stopped walking and I didn't know what to say. 'I really should've text him instead...'

"...Y/N? You still there?"

I was startled by his sudden voice in my right ear, and I cleared my throat.

"Uhh...are you sure? I mean....it's 9PM, and I'm sure you had an exhausting day too..."

"That's why I want to spend the rest of the evening with you"

I coulnd't see his expression, but I could SWEAR he would be winking again. I blushed at the imagination. Luckily he couldn't see it. And then I sighed.

"Okay, if you insist...where do you live?"

"I'll catch you up. I don't want you to get lost"

"Don't worry, I never get lost, trust me. I didn't get lost on my first school day, although everybody does!"

I heard his chuckle through my phone. "You seem confident. Okay, I'll send you my adress. See you!". And with that he hung up. A message almost instantly popped up, which shows Akechi's adress. Suddenly my heart started to beat up. I got nervous with the thought of meeting with him, alone in his apartment....

I, as always, shook it off and started to walk into the direction of his residence.

And I already was there in no time. It really isn't far from both my apartment or Diner. I inhaled deeply, and exhaled again. 'It's just a normal meeting with a childhood friend you met again...'

And with that, I triggered the bell of his apartment. I waited a few seconds before the door opened and revealed a brown haired boy.

"Greetings Y/N, come in!"
