Until Daybreak (Korekiyo Shinguuji x fem!reader)

Lunch and A Rehearsal

A/N: Sorry Chapter 2 took a long time to finish. I had to stop every so often because I was getting flustered at the start of the chapter then I had to rewrite some bits at work.

~~

There's not much to do before you show up for rehearsal. You slept a bit, but it was not enough. All you could do is lounge around in your pajamas and binge-watch a show on Netflix. You were currently on the fifth season and you didn't feel like getting up anytime soon. You remembered the text your co-worker sent you about coming in early for rehearsal but you weren't sure what time you should be there. Honestly, you didn't want to go despite the chances of disappointing your fans and your manager lecturing you. Although, you were more worried about your friend, Korekiyo showing up. While you were already use to his ominous appearance, most people would not dare to be close to him or enrage him. If your co-workers looked in his general direction, they'll be scared shitless. The last thing you want is to have his feelings hurt, even though he doesn't show it.

You turned off your TV and went into your room to change clothes. As you stripped yourself of your pajamas, you heard your phone ring on your dresser and the Caller ID reads "Kiyo". That's strange; he never calls you on his cell. You walked over to your dresser and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Ah. (y/n). You answered. Good," he said on the other line.

"Kiyo! I wasn't expecting a call from you. You usually text me. What's up?"

"...well, I figured that since you are going to rehearsal--shut up, I'm getting to that!" That last bit at the end was a little quiet and sounded far away. "My apologies. As I was saying, I was wondering if we can have lunch together."

"Huh? Really?" you asked. This was a sudden request from him. Then again, this wasn't completely out of the ordinary for you. Before, you two would have lunch together at least twice a week. However, for some reason, this feel different from all the other times before.

"Yes. I will take care of the expenses. Please come by my house in an hour. And dress accordingly."

Dress accordingly? Since when did he start caring about your appearance now? Of course, he may be planning on taking you to a fancy restaurant but you can never be too sure. Guess going casual is out of the question now.

"Alright. I'll be there in an hour."

"I will see you soon, (y/n)."

"See ya."

You hung up the phone, now wondering what could you wear. You didn't have a lot of nice clothes and your costumes are barely passable for appropriate attire. You don't want to overdress and you certainly can't be underdressed.

"Do I really have anything?"

You searched your closet for any nice and presentable clothes. One by one, none of them caught your eye or met your standards. As you made it to the end of your closet, you come across a plain dress. It was a bit modest and looked like it goes up to the knees. That will do for now. You took it out of your closet and tried it on to see how it looks on you. It feels a bit small around the waist but other than that, the dress looked cute on you. You weren't sure if you should go all out or keep it simple. In the end, you sprayed a bit of perfume on you and wore your choker. Before leaving, you made sure to grab your keys, wallet, and other little stuff that you will need.

The long drive to Korekiyo's house took a bit longer than you expected. Traffic was heavier than usual and you've seen two accidents along the way. Once you arrived outside of his house, you stayed in your car for a bit, making sure everything is nice and tidy. Eventually, you stepped out of the car and went up to your friend's door. You rang the doorbell and waited. After a while, the door opened and you see Korekiyo in his uniform but one thing you noticed stood out; he wasn't wearing his mask like he usually did. Although, he only takes it off when he's inside of his house so it would make sense he wouldn't have it on.
