Ribbons (Nino X Reader)

Ch 3 - School

Time for the next step. Quinn life.

Enjoy.

~~~~~

Lunch came around and this time you joined Fuutaro who usually ate by himself. Time to keep him a little company. Though you're eating a PB&J from home as he's eating just steamed broccoli and rice. Guess the two of you are just basic. Not a bad thing or say.

"So Toro what do you think?"

"About what I got myself into and you tagged along?"

"That and the girls." You smirk at him.

"Well Itsuki still has a grudge. Yotsuba and Ichika seem like they mean okay."

Then it came down to the other two. Nino who just wanted to complain, be angry, and bashful since you came to right outside of their door. Then you got Ichika and Yotsuba that mean well but there has to be more to them. And Itsuki and especially Miku are afraid to open up. Something was going to give eventually, it was just a matter of what. 

"Nino and Itsuki might take a while. No matter. We're cooking. This will be interesting for sure. It will eventually come down to work that they have to put in. I mean we can do our best since you need the cash but still. No one wants to old enough to drink and be in high school right? From the sound of it that cannot be ruled out."

"Senior year. Makes me wonder about all of this." Sighed Fuutaro.

"Is it the after effects?" You ask.

"Work, school, my sister, and that such. Let's say I go to school right? Even if it's all paid for I still have needs to take of."

"As do I. Though without you what else do I have right? I cut everyone off from that portion of time. It's just how it goes man."

"Midnight Society. I know."

"Not gang related Toro. Well, least not the two of us. The others connected to my brother is different."

"How long until he gets out again?" Fuutaro was curious.

"He's got a few years. It's what happens when crime makes your living. Though he took it all on himself. I mean his client list and illegal unlicensed sales. What did you think was going to happen? Fines of one to two thousand yen meant nothing to him at that point. Which he didn't pay, but still."

Itsuki came to your table as she spotted both of you. You nearly jumped. Hoping that she haven't had heard. "Hi."

"Hey Itsuki." You smile.

"Hi (FN)."

"Afternoon." Nodded Fuutaro.

"I know you're a jerk during lunch but I came to tell you about a change of plans." She declared.

"So no library?" You pondered.

"Nino and I are going home. Ichika has work. So what's the point?" She was really being difficult. 

"So study at your place again?" You suggest. "Or if you want to separate into groups I can head over. You two got a lift home right?"

"Our father's assistant. He drives us around. He can make a few trips if he has to. So that mean you're coming for the two of us?" Itsuki wanted to concrete plans now.

You smile at her. "Sure thing Itsuki. Anything else?"

"Yeah." She turned to Fuutaro. "Be gentle with those two. Miku is sensitive and Yotsuba is nice."

"Understood." Fuutaro said in his usual monotone voice.

So I knock on the door to the place after I go in the parking garage and see what happens when these two are alone. I would imagine that this could be interesting. I do expect to get a little lash, but if it is just me then that means I run the show. Can change the energy. Yeah. There we go.

~~~~~

You ring the bell to the apartment and waited for a moment. Nino answered the door. She saw you in your jacket and opened the door wide. "So you're alone?" Asking to make sure Fuutaro is nowhere to be seen."

"Just me. Hope I'm not late."

"You're fine." She assured.

"Are we good Nino. Don't want any tension between us." You put your helmet and jacket down and take your shoes off. Then looking back up against her. "I come in peace."

"I suppose. I still don't trust you two. But you are nicer. Take that for what it's worth." She sighed.

"Well once again Nino thank you for letting me. How do you want to get started? Pick a place and we can focus on a subject." 

"The sofa and some English since I got an essay. I already poured you a glass of tea." She pointed over to the coffee table.

"Oh my pleasure. No have no need to worry about it. Freshly brewed and everything. Any sugar? Honey? Milk?" She smiled.

"I think as is made by you will be great. Let me take a sip. You got me interested. Thank you again."

"Oh, don't mention it." She smirked.

Maybe Fuutaro just has that vibe he gives off. Everything seems all gravy here. Although I am puzzled that it is only Nino and I. Where the heck is Itsuki? The bathroom? Her bedroom sorting stuff out. Whatever. Any minute now. Taking a seat you place your backpack right next to you. "Cheers." You grab the glass and raise it. Taking a good gulp. "Hey. Pretty good stuff. What do you call this recipe?" Putting the cup back on the coaster.

Nino waved. "Bye-bye."

"Huh-" You land with a thud. Leaning sideways. From the sofa and down to the area rug. The couch to the carpet means bad day.

Itsuki walked down the stairs. "Nino I thought he just came in. What happened? His helmet and jacket are here."

"Sloppy on the job." She winked at Itsuki.

"Hey! What the hell? I invited him over. It has to help me too. We just expect us to do it on our own?"

"What good is he or Fuutaro?" Argued Nino.

"What's the worst that can happen. They poison us?" She pouted. "Didn't think didn't you."

"I thought it all out. He can crash on the sofa for now until he wakes up. I'll put his bag by his helmet."

"He has to drive home stupid." Argued Itsuki.

"I didn't get that far. Oops..."

~~~~~

This upsets all arrangements and fucks the whole program. Way to go bitch.
