Chasing After You (Kyosuke Kuga x Reader) (A Prince of Stride Fanfic)

Chapter 9

     (Y/N) POV

    "Hey. why don't you come to the festival with me?"

     Kyosuke turned back around to face me and his striking grey eyes caught me off guard yet again. Then I realized that it was kind of insensitive of me to ask him that. He probably would feel hurt to see his former team and I immediately felt guilty.

     "I mean...you don't have to if you don't want to! But I thought it would be fun if we could go together. But then again, you probably don't want to see the rest of the guys..." I started rambling and looked up at him with apologetic eyes.

     "I'd love to go to the festival with you." As soon as he said this, my rambling stopped.

     "Are you sure?" 

     He nodded in response and said, "As long as we avoid the rest of them, it should be fine."

     Before I realized it, a huge grin had spread onto my face. I flung my stride bag over my left shoulder and with my right hand, I grabbed ahold of his arm.

     "Let's go!"

     Kuga POV

     It took me by surprise when she had grabbed my arm and it gave me a strange feeling. It wasn't a bad feeling but it was strange. She let go of my arm and I allowed her to lead me to the place the festival was to be held.

     We walked in the entrance and as soon as I saw the crowd of people near us, I grabbed her hand so that I wouldn't lose her. 

     I led us away from the crowd and as soon as we were in a clearing, I looked back to make sure she was ok. 

     She looked up at me and we locked eyes. We stayed like that for a while and I noticed as I was still holding her hand so I gently let her go. 

     "So what do you want to do first?" She gazed up at me with bright, (E/C) eyes. 

     "Whatever you want to do." I smiled at her.

     "Hmm...," she put her finger on her chin in a quizzical manner, "let's get yakitori! I'm starving after the match and I need to refuel."

     Watching her get so excited made me want to mirror her bright smile.

     We made our way to a food stand nearby and I started to order.

     "2 orders of yakitori and 2 orders of taiyaki please."

     The man running the stand nodded and went to get the food. When he came back with our order, I paid him and made my way to (Y/N), who was staring at the lanterns. I tapped her on her shoulder and she took her yakitori and the bag of taiyaki from me.

     "You already paid? I was about to give you the money for it. You didn't have to pay for my food too, you know!" She pouted and gave me a playful glare.

     I just chuckled and took her stride bag from her and flung it over my own shoulder.

     "I know but I wanted too."

     Her face turned red. It was getting a little hot.

     We found an empty table so that we could sit while we ate.

     "Hey Kyosuke!" I heard her call my name so I turned around to face her. 

     She was holding her phone at an angle so that we were both in the frame. She smiled at the camera and I grinned while she took the picture of us.
