Until Daybreak (Korekiyo Shinguuji x fem!reader)

I Would Do Anything For Her, Wouldn't You?

A/N: You thought last chapter was going to contain smut, didn't you? Nope! Unfortunately, the smut won't be coming back for a while. As tempting as it is to write it again, I would want to try to focus more on the actual storyline.

"Kiyo? Kiyoooo?"

A young chipper voice stirred Korekiyo out of his daydreaming. He glanced around until he saw his female classmate sitting across from him. Her eyes light sapphire eyes sparkled as she smiled happily.

"Well hello, Angie," he greeted.

Angie Yonaga, the Ultimate Artist. She had an uncanny skill in every art medium that existed. Her cultural background was intriguing although a bit odd. Angie also has a very strong connection to her god, Auta. At first, it has taken his interest as an anthropologist, but as time went on, it turned...problematic. Angie would try to convince her other classmates, even the ones in other classes, to become dependent on her god. Whilst, gave her the control to make them do whatever she pleases as long as she claims it's through Atua. Korekiyo doesn't actively ignore her since she insisted on being his friend. He does at least talk to her every now and then until Himiko or Tenko comes around. That's when he will make his getaway.

"Sooo, how did the date go?" she asked eagerly, eating the lunch she has brought from home.

He looked down at his half eaten bento his sister made for him with all of his favorites. Usually, he would be the one preparing his own lunches but his older sister was visiting at the time so she decided to prepare it for him. He nearly forgotten all about it while he was daydreaming about his time with you yesterday.

"It was not a date," he said, biting into the onigiri.

"Awww, and I went through all that trouble just to get you to ask her out!"

Korekiyo still couldn't believe that his own classmate talked him into it. He overheard his boisterous classmate, Kaito brag about how he snuck into a private-owned Gentlemen's club and took a photograph of one of the dancers. A lot of things he got wrong but he can't really vouch for him without getting caught in his mess.

The artist caught him glancing at his old pictures of you on his phone. When she asked about you, he simply said that you were an old friend. However, he has recently ran into you and wanted to spend more time with you outside of your work. That's when Angie came up with a plan. She swiped his phone off his desk and called your number from his contacts.

"Angie, I am not getting thrown into detention because of your shenaniganry! Give it back!" he screeched.

"Ah-hah~ It's ringing," she smiled, handing the phone over to him.

Oh no. He was not mentally prepared for this. Not once he has called you or attempted to. Korekiyo reached for his phone and grabbed it from Angie's hand and slowly held it up to his ear. He gulped nervously as the receiver beeped a few times, his hands trembling. Why is he so damn nervous? Something as simple as asking you out shouldn't be that hard. Right?

"Fellow classmates," Angie spoke loudly. "May I direct your attention to the Ultimate Anthropologist, Korekiyo Shinguuji, attempting to ask his lady friend to a date!"

"ANGIE!!" he yelled, his face flustered now having to deal with his classmates staring at him.

"Nee-hee-hee! This should be interesting," one of his classmates said, sitting on top of a desk.

"I'll send my good luck magic over to you," another classmate mumbled lazily.

"Oh my! It's just like one of my slice-of-life animes I've watched recently!"
