Mira x N.B. Reader

Note:  They/Them pronouns.  Btw this is a rewrite of an old pokemon oneshot I wrote a long time ago, so not my newest concept and might be a bit odd.

Oh perfect, she went out again all by herself and lucky me it's at night this time" (Name) sighed "Why can't she just accept it's too dangerous for her to wonder about this city alone?"
 
While the city was a fantastic as well as safe place during the day, nighttime was an entirely different world.  Mira would undoubtedly find herself in danger.  (Name) was tired but also worried.  They had been hired as a bodyguard by and for Mira but it was turning out to be a harder task than they originally thought.

"This was difficult enough when she ran off during the day, I shouldn't have taken this job.  I don't need the stress" (Name) complained to themself.  
"If I was smart I'd skip out on her now since she paid me up front," (Name) huffed "but I'm more of an idiot aren't I?  Oh well, nothing to be done about that now.  I just wish kids would listen when I tell them thugs are crawling all over this place".

Done talking with themself (Name) went to look for Mira.  As they jogged along they didn't spot Mira anywhere.  They checked all the main plazas and roads in the area, but the girl was nowhere in sight.

The only other areas ,for the bodyguard, to check were the ally ways.  "There's no way she would honestly run into an ally at night, right?" (Name) felt their face drop "I suppose there's only one way to find out" they sighed.

Running into the first ally they saw (Name) didn't find Mira, only some punks acting tough and shooting off at the mouth.  "Well who do we have here? Some loser gone and lost their way?" A guy with a blue mohawk said. 

The girls around him laughed "I think so (Guy name), why don't you show them a thing or two about who owns this city."

"Good idea. I think I will, so come on dollface.  You're about to learn why this is my alley and my city."

(Name)'s brow twitched.  They were ready to throw this man in the nearest dumpster after all his prattling.  He couldn't even see their face due to the deep shadows cast in the alleyway.  "(Guy Name)," they said "I was hoping to have a good night, but if it's a fight you want then it's a fight you'll get." 

The color drained from (Guy Name)'s face immediately.  "(Name)!" he stuttered "I didn't recognize you in this lighting" he tried to laugh the tension off "me and you, we're buddies right?  Why would we ever fight?  We all know you're the strongest here since you already got us last time, right?"  He sounded like he was making a desperate plea.

"We're buddies" (Name) questioned.  "I don't think I'd go that far, and besides you were the one sending out threats just a few minutes ago, not knowing if it wasn't me.  For that I'm afraid I can't let you go.  Promise I'll make it quick though since I am in a hurry".

In less then ten minutes the fight was over.  (Name) walked out of the alley leaving a now passed out (Guy Name) and girls by his side.  (Name) had tried to interrogate them all to see if they had seen Mira but they weren't any help.

(Name) made another call hoping Mira would pick up.  Unfortunately it was another missed call as Mira didn't pick up.  It made (Name) panic a bit.  They had never failed a client before and they didn't want to ruin their streak especially with such a cute girl being the client in question.  Their cheeks burned the slightest bit thinking about how kind and full of life she was.

It took all night before (Name) was too tired to continue.  They were disheartened and had their head hung low walking back to the hotel.  It seemed as though they had failed at least until they got to their room.

Sat in the middle of one of the beds was the very girl they had been looking for.  Mira popped her head up to look at who came in after hearing the door open.  "(Name)!  There you are.  Where'd you go off to last night?"

"Me?" They said "I was out looking for you.  You're the one who went missing at twelve a.m."

Mira got up and crossed her arms "I went to a vending machine down the hall.  It only took me five minutes."

(Name)'s face got hot and Mira laughed.  "Did you get all worked up thinking I was gone?" 

The comment was embarrasing, but (Name) shoved their pride down.  "Maybe, I was" they tried to act cool "this is a dangerous place, and you're pretty cute.  A lot of people would like to steal you away."

Mira stood close by knowingly.  "A lot of people huh?  Maybe I wouldn't mind that if they were as attractive as you."

That blew away any composure (Name) had left.  "Well then" they cleared their throat "you'll be happy to hear I've just decided to keep you."

Mira moved closer until there was barely any room between the two of them.  Putting a peck on (Name)'s nose she wrapped her arms around them.  "I am happy to hear that.  Now let's go out to the cupcake place you mentioned yesterday."

She lead (Name) by the hand and went towards the door smiling.  "But Mira I only got like an hour of sleep."
