Beloved - Goro Akechi x Shy!Reader (Persona 5)

Chapter One

THE WRITER'S BLOCK HAS CONSUMED ME SO MUCH THAT I WROTE SOMETHING FOR AKECHI. We are lacking fanfics for our pancake loving boy after all. So it's my turn now. Enjoy (I promise I'm going to finish the Yusuke story soon! I have no idea what is gonna happen to here yo)

"...and that's why we recruit sponsors to help make tv shows."
The PR woman kept talking, some stuff was more obvious than others but at least I don't have to worry about school work while on this social studies trip. Besides, as long as I have my friends with me, I feel like I can overcome anything at all.
The PR woman continued.
"I'm sure you know about commercial breaks? Well those are actually sponsor related product placements. To sum things up, ratings are vitally important for a station's production funding and..."
"Huh..."
I turned to my bleach blond friend named Ryuji, he was actually trying to be a good student today.
"You learning lots today Ryuji?" I asked the delinquent looking teenage boy while quietly giggling to myself.
Akira was the next to chime in.
"..so sleepy..."
Was he even listening to what she was talking about?
"...he ain't even listening."

"For example, soap opera reruns are shown in the day, whereas alluring newswoman are broadcast at night. Thus, the scheduling department is where we decide what time to broadcast which program."
"Could this be anymore obvious?"
I looked to my other friend, another blonde but this time was natural. Her long twin tails bounced as she turned her head to us more. Her name is Ann
"....so sleepy.."
The black haired young man stated once more. He was our leader, the leader of the phantom thieves. I respect him a lot, he's kinda like a brother to me.
Ann yawned in response. I guess she's bored too.
"Should we go find somewhere to relax for awhile? Both of you look like you're going to pass out soon."
I suggested to them, before any of them could respond a really mean newscaster pushed Akira out of his way.
"What's going on?!" The newscaster began, "I can't stand all of this noise!"
Ryuji was about to snap at him when the PR woman stepped in and said she would take us elsewhere.
Without realizing it, some weirdo approached Ann without any of us realizing it.
"Hey, you wanna be on tv?"
"Huh?" Ann replied to the man now in front of her
"You got a slammin' bod after all.
"Uhhh... I'm here on a school trip."
He then turned to me.
"What about you hot stuff? You want the chance to be on tv?"
I instantly shook my head vigorously and panicked.
"N-no thank you! I-I appreciate the offer b-but I have to decline!"
"Well give me a call if you're interested. Your call will be welcomed day or night."
Perv...
"Well then... uhhhh..."
The bossy AD turned his attention to Ryuji and Akira, basically telling them to help out with the camera cables, not even that nicely.
I waved goodbye to them as we parted ways. Shortly after, Ann went to the ladies room. I was rather nervous to be by myself but as a member as the phantom thieves I just had to be strong and prove my worth to the team!
Next thing I knew, while I was deep in thought, I ran into someone, that person was rather tall too.
I looked up, it was the rude newscaster from before. I backed up and politely bowed to him, I apologize profusely. I wasn't really good at talking to strangers after all.
"If you're really that sorry."
he scanned me up and down, I was begging him to stop in my head. Finally, he stopped and looked me in the eyes. He glanced around the room once more, before taking a hold of my wrist.
All he told me then was, "Prove it."
I felt my eyes starting to get watery, I didn't know what was happening or even how to react. I was frozen from shock. With my head towards the ground.
The strength I had earlier, it all went away.
It was fight or flight or freeze, I obviously was frozen solid.
"Hey, what are you doing to that poor girl?"
I looked up at the voice. It belongs to someone my age, a young man who had shaggy brown hair, a tan pea coat, he was also wearing gloves and dress like pants.
I could have swore that I saw him somewhere before...
Either way, within an instant if the pleasant boy stepped in, the newscaster let me go and when on his way.
The boy walked up to me, asking if I was alright in a sweet sounding voice that was like music to my ears.
"Y-y-yes... thank you.... Uhhh"
"My name is Goro Akechi, what about you? What is your name?"
I didn't hesitate when I spoke, but it probably sure sounded like it.
"(Y-y-y/n) (l-l/n).. but y-you can call me b-by m-m-my first name..."
"Well, (y/n)-chan, it's nice to meet you. Trust me when I say that you don't have to be so scared of me."
He gave me a polite smile. I told him that It was nice to meet him too, trying not to stutter but obviously failing.
He took something out of his jacket pocket, it was a handkerchief. He handed it to me.
"Here, to wipe away your tears."
Man this is embarrassing... I must seem so weak to him.
I gladly took him up on his offer, and wiped my eyes. I gave it back to him, flashing a small smile.
"Thank you v-very much.. Akechi-San."
For some strange reason, I felt my heart beating very hard in my chest. It felt so weird... but so right.
"That uniform, you're from Shujin academy?"
I nodded in response. Then I remembered... on crap! My friends are probably looking for me!
"I-I am s-s-so sorry Akechi-San! I just remembered t-that my-my friends are probably l-looking for me! I gotta go!"
I bowed to him and ran off to find Akira and the rest.
