Until Daybreak (Korekiyo Shinguuji x fem!reader)

What's the Fun in A Lie?

A/N: I'm starting to notice my writing is getting lazier each chapter. And just letting you know, this is going to be a short chapter. This is for a certain friend I know who despises a certain character.

~~

You and Korekiyo drove to your job and seen that the front door has been left wide open, much to your fear. You hurried out the car and sprinted towards the door. Korekiyo followed behind you and watched you examined the door. "The door wasn't forced open. Someone let them in," you concluded.

"Are you sure?" the anthropologist questioned.

"Yes, I'm sure! The door is locked from the inside and there's no way to get in from the outside, not even with the side entrance," you explained with detail.

You and your friend's attention was redirected to the screams coming from the main hall. You both wasted no time and ran inside. Once in the main hall, you looked around until you've spotted your co-workers huddled in a corner, trembling in fear then you slowly glanced over to the large muscular man in the brown suit. He didn't seem like he was trying to harm them. He was panicking more than your co-workers.

"W-wait! Gonta can explain! Gonta does not want to hurt anyone!" the man shouted in panic which only succeed in scaring the girls even more.

One of your co-workers noticed you and called out to you. "Betaaaa!! Help us!" Sphinx cried as she held onto her twin sister. All of the performers that were present were now focused on you and each one of them cried out to you for help. Unfortunately, that also drew the man's attention to you as well. Although, he didn't pay much attention to you, rather, the person next to you.

"K-Kiyo? What are you doing here?" he asked in curiosity.

"I could ask you the same thing," Korekiyo replied as he continued to stare at the large man.

You took a moment to look at the two of them before asking the long-haired male. "Hang on, you know him??" you asked in confusion.

"Why yes. He is my classmate. I'm a little curious to know how he managed to find his way here," he said.

"Your classmate? Then does that mean..." You didn't get the chance to finish your thought as Korekiyo casually strolled over to the man and chuckled.

"You ladies can relax. He's not a threat, as far as I know," he spoke in a calm manner. "The man you see here is none other than Gonta Gokuhara, the Ultimate Entomologist."

"ULTIMATE??" Everyone shouted at the same time in surprise, you included. "You mean that this hulking guy is a high school student AND your classmate?!" Red Tail questioned, unable to process this new information.

"It is quite surprising," the anthropologist laughed. "I, too, had a hard time believing it when I first laid eyes on him."

"I'm more surprised he's an Ultimate to begin with," Jinx muttered still huddled close to her sister. You've already told your co-workers about what you knew about Ultimates. More so, a brief summary of it. Some of them still don't have a good grasp of it while the others understood the concept pretty well. Duchess was the only one that felt mocked by the idea of the existence of Ultimates. You had no clue why but knowing her, it's probably for a petty reason.

"U-uh, yeah!" Gonta began with a smile. "Gonta is an Entomologist! That means Gonta studies bugs."

While it does seem like an interesting field of study, you weren't warming up to the idea of being close to bugs. The other performers felt the same way. All except Syringe. She was more intrigued than squeamish. "Hey, Gonta? What are you doing here? How did you find this place?" you asked.
