Tanaka x reader one shots, short stories and headcannons!

Thunder Storms and Blanket Forts

You were sitting in your college dorm room, hidden under your own sheets. You had your phone in your hand, scrolling through social media to keep your mind off the loud cracks of lightning. You and your roommate would usually sit by your coffee table in the front room, playing board games with scented candles to keep both of you calm. But right now, she was out of town on a family emergency and you were alone.

"Tanaka lives on the other side of town... I don't want him to drive through this weather just to keep me calm.." You mumble your thoughts aloud, going to your messages, and clicking on your boyfriend's contact. Re-reading his messages to you was always a good way you kept yourself out of the dumps on a daily.

As you were reading, lightning struck with a loud bang, making you jump and hide under your covers more. You hated this. It felt like you were all alone, making the vibe of the situation make you feel like you're in a horror movie. Ping! Your phone made the classic sound of a notification, making your eyes open slowly.

Love <3: (y/n)! Are you doing okay?? I just remembered your lightning fear...

Do you want me to come over?

Me: Hey... I'm okay... I don't want you driving over here in this weather.

I'll be fine, Ryu.💕

Love <3: But... I wanna see you...👉👈😔

Me: I wanna see you too. But it's pouring down rain...

Love <3: Well, what if I said I'm already at your door..?👀

Me: Ryunosuke... I swear-

knock knock knock. Ryu's signature knock came from the door, making your eyebrows furrow in confusion. Was he already on his way when he texted?? You jumped out of bed quickly, going to the door. You looked through the peephole (is that what it's called?), seeing the male outside, a plastic bag in his hands and a backpack on, well his back. When you opened the door, the male smiled brightly.

"You're wet." You stated, grabbing his wrist and pulling him inside. If he were to come over, in pouring down rain without an umbrella, he was gonna get a little scolding.

"Yeah... But I was already out when it started to rain, and your place is closer than mine." Tanaka used his other hand to rub the nape of his neck. You shook your head jokingly and left him in the living room as you went to go and get him a towel.

When you came back, he was unloading the plastic bag; pulling out snacks and tea. Your favorites mind you. You walked over and wrapped the towel around his neck, along with your own arms. That's when another lightning strike happened and you gripped the towel firmly, hiding your face in the back of his neck.

"It's okay... How about we make a fort?! Like, with sheets and pillows!" Tanaka suggested excitedly, putting his hand on top of yours, making small circles on the top of your hands. You looked up at him, a sparkle in your eyes. It had been so long since you had made a fort, so you were pretty excited yourself.

You quickly nodded, suggesting that you made it in the living room, using the cushions from the couches and your singular chair to keep it up. You went to your hall closet, pulling out thin sheets.

Within an hour, you two made a fort with three sheets, many clips and a stick you got from a beach not that long ago. In your eyes, it was perfect. And you were so distracted that you didn't flinch at the three lightning strikes in that hour. And that made Tanaka happy.

"Come on, come on!" Your smile was huge as you tugged his arm to the medium-sized fort that took up most of the space of your living room. Tanaka chuckled and grabbed the food and cold bottled tea, following you into the fort. It was cozy as pillows were at the second entrance (which could also be an exit OoO) that faced the tv. You laid down and sighed happily as you felt the ground rumble a little, making you tense. And he could tell.

"Here, (f/s) ((favorite snack)). Your favorite right?" He smiled, holding out the food to you, making you nod and smile softly, taking the food into your hands. Tanaka took out his phone and turned on some random YouTube video for background noise.

After hours of sitting in the fort, you finally fell asleep with your head in his lap as he played with your (h/l) (h/c) hair ((hair length and color)). He sighed quietly, thankful that you fell asleep. He closed his eyes, his body slouching as he fell asleep.

I keep stealing these from my one shots on Quotev because I'm not creative and don't know what to write specifically for mah boy Tanaka..👉👈 If you have ideas, I will gladly take them *grabby hands*
