Koda Koji x Reader

I sob in the empty classroom. Pulling my legs closer, I can only cry as the overwhelming feelings fill my body.

The reason I'm upset is unimportant, it's been a whole bunch of little problems that I've bottled up.

One thing had pushed me past my tipping point. I ran, until I found an empty room, and hid here to cry.

I let out another sob, thinking about all the things that have been weighing on me.

Hearing quiet footsteps, I turn away. I don't want anyone to see.

I hear a quiet gasp, and the footsteps draw closer, almost hesitantly.

Looking up, I'm surprised to find Koda Koji, from my hero class. I sniff a little, wiping the tears away.

"Hey, Koda. I'm fine, just going through some things." I give a half-hearted smile through the tears.

Koda turns pink, obviously embarrassed. "Can I help?" His voice is so quiet I almost don't catch it.

I shake my head. "I don't really know how to stop feeling so bad."

He gestures out the window. "Could we eat lunch outside?"

I stare at him for a moment, then nod.

We walk side by side through the hallways. I let out a sniffle once in a while, wiping away some stray tears.

Eventually we sit on a small bench outside.

I take out my lunch. I had already eaten some of it, when lunch first started.

We eat in a peaceful silence, watching birds peck at our feet.

He throws some birdseed out to them, and they flock towards him. I watch, amazed.

A couple squirrels run up to eat the seed, too. Before I know it, a smile perches on my face, like the birds that were perching atop Koda's lap and arms.

One of the birds hops up onto my lap, chirping happily to me.

I let out a small laugh, "Sorry little bird, I don't have any food."

Koda smiles, giving me some seed. I hold it in my hand, watching the birds eat it.

Contently, I watch the squirrels and birds. They really love Koda, and seem to trust me, since I'm with him.

The sound of the bell ringing forces us out of our content gathering, and we have to head to class.

I walk with Koda, smiling. "Thank you, Koda. That was really nice."

He nods, a little flustered. His words are a bit jumbled, "I sit alone a lot."

"Could I join you sometimes? If it's not intruding."

He nods, seemingly happy. "I'd like that."

I smile to myself, wondering if he would consider this a date.

Maybe I'll have to ask him next time.
