Ribbons (Nino X Reader)

Ch 12 - Stay

After that, think you could really just drop her off?

Enjoy.

It was only a mere two more lights and then you stopped in front of the apartment building. The moped came to a stop and Nino opened her eyes. Blinked a few times and still hunk onto you.

"We're here..." You said nervously.

She put her hands to her sides. "Thanks again."

"Sure thing. I guess I'll take those back and see you tomorrow at school?"

"You should at least eat with us." She insisted. Trying to do her best and be kind. Nino didn't walk home.

"Okay. I'll head to the garage. Meet you inside." She had gotten off the bike as you head off. 

Nino proceeds inside as per usual. To the elevator and to the tenth floor. Then the door was open since everyone was home. When upon entering, all the girls looked at her. In your backup synthetic leather jacket and the dark shaded glasses.

"You came back from work?" Asked Yotsuba.

"Yeah." Nino took off the glasses and then off with the shoes.

"Did your boyfriend bring you home?" Ichika smirked trying to tease her and get some information.

"Boyfriend?" Gasped Nino.

"Who's jacket?" Asked Itsuki secretly just a little jealous.

Ichika walked over and eyed the jacket. Taking a whiff of an obvious odor. "I recognize that smell." 

"Smell? He told me it was clean." Nino felt a little embarrassed. No one wants to wear someone's stinky jacket.

"Ohhh." Giggled Ichika. "I know who it is." A knock came from the door. "Allow me." She opened the door and you were right there. "As I thought. Welcome. Come right on in." Looking over at Nino to explain herself. "He drove you home?"

"Father called me this morning." You nod.

"He did?" All the other quins gasped.

"Yeah. Right before breakfast or so. So I'm here. Dropped her off and insisted that I come in. Here I am I guess."

Nino took off your jacket and handed it to you. "Here you go." She blushed trying to look away from everyone including yourself.

"Thanks. Warm right?"

"Smells good too." Ichika was confusing. Was this flirting? Or was she trying to make a point to Nino? Which one was it?

"What does it smell like? Fake leather?" 

"With a dash of personal scent. That looks warm when the wind blows. I'd love to go for a ride with you. Just be gentle and I'll try not to grab so hard. You'll be good by that right?" Now Ichika was really trying. You know it's coming. But to flirt back or to not flirt back. That's the question. And how far would it go?

"Fill the tank and you got a deal." 

"Hey!" Nino grumped. "I invited you over for you to take off with my sister?"

"Not now." You tried to defend yourself.

"Sorry I complicated the matter." Ichika hugged behind you. "Yeah. I don't know what cologne this is, but it's not cheap stuff at the convenience store." Then proceeded to rub your chest. "What a man."

"Off!" Boomed Nino.

"What? Something I'm missing here? Seem to be awfully protective of him. The cigarettes, the knife, the jacket. Tell me I'm going overboard." Ichika looked at both of you. Then over to Itsuki, Yotsuba, and Miku for additional comments.
