Male Reader X Nico Yazawa

Chapter 1- Rain

A/N: This chapter takes place 2 years before the anime starts. That means that Nico, Nozomi, and Eli are the only μ's members at Otonokizaka so far. They are all First Years. (So are you)

Today is the last day of summer. I was waiting to see if I would be accepted into a high school. A girl-dominated high school.

What kind of mother would send their own son into an all girl's school? Apparently a nice one. My mother heard that Otonokizaka High School was losing students and would probably have to close down in a few years. Desperate for new students, they had made the horrible decision to kindly invite boys. Not wanting to overwhelm the girls, only two boys would go into each year to see the feedback. Since I had just finished middle school, I would be a Year One.

And since my mother is "nice" she wanted to help them out. She offered to sacrifice me to this school of girls. All I would be is a test dummy to see how girls reacted... fun. I was playing with my cat, Levi, when all of a sudden my mom burst through my door. I hope it didn't break off of the hinges, because that is how hard she opened it. Apparently my good grades from middle school were enough to make the Otonokizaka president believe I was well-behaved. Any boy would have been excited to get into a high school full of girls, but I knew that all they would do is probably gossip about me. Woohoo.

Even after she told me that, I thought my mother would calm down. She still looked excited.

"Mom, you okay?"

"Oh, Y/N! Your best friend Jason was also accepted!"

Talk about an exaggeration. I haven't talked to that fella in a few years. I just tell my mom stories so she doesn't worry about me having no friends.

"Y-Yeah that's great Mom! I'm super excited, so can you please leave?"

"I thought you would be disappointed.. but I'll do whatever you want. We should celebrate this every year! What if we are the reason the scho-"

Since I told my mom to leave, she had started to back up slowly while talking. The second she had crossed the threshold to my room, I took the chance to slam the door. I walked to my bed and slammed my head into my pillow harder than I do at 2 AM. 

"It will be fine, it will be fine...."

No matter how many coping methods I tried the next few days, I couldn't relieve the stress. That's all I did for three days, but none worked and it's already the night of my first day at Otonokizaka.

"It'll be fine.. everyone in my class is going to be starting in a new highschool by default anyways, so I shouldn't be worried at all!"

I was just telling myself nonsense. Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow is the day.  Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow is the da-

It is the morning suddenly, meaning I must've fallen asleep when I was singing my ritual. Speaking of singing, one of the coping mechanisms I have tried was watching school idols. They actually calmed me down a bit. Too bad Otonokizaka doesn't have any, huh? After a long breakfast, my mom drove me to school. yay. As the day progressed, it didn't actually feel all that bad, though. Before I realized it, it was already the end of the day.

"I'll admit, there were a few cute ones."

"Nice Y/N! Who do you like the most?"

"All a girl will do is drag me down, Jason. I'm not going to go seeking for love on my first day here."

"But Y/N.. have you seen Eli? She doesn't have any friends.. maybe I can be her first.."

"There is probably a reason for that."

"You are so pessimistic Y/N. I'll see you tomorrow!"

Jason and I continued to have conversations after school. It didn't feel weird for us to talk after so long, because there wasn't any other boys. I don't know how the boys in the 2nd and 3rd years were doing. Jason had made friends with a lot of girls, but I just sat in class and got out when it ended, being lonely all day. It felt like everyone around me was growing. I mean, even that Eli girl that had made a friend. Some other girls weren't as lucky. One of the more notable ones is a girl with black hair in double ponytails. She was only memorable because she was loud in class. I couldn't remember the other girls with no friends since they were too shy.

One day, it was raining. I didn't bring an umbrella, so I just sat there in front of the school. My Mom was at work, so she couldn't pick me up. Jason had some girl drive him home. It was at that moment I realized how jealous I was to not have friends. Maybe I should try to get one. And as if by fate, I saw the notable girl. The loud, childish girl with the double ponytails who also had no friends. She was trying to recruit girls to join a school idol club. I liked school idols... I didn't have any attraction to this girl whatsoever, but the similarities between us seemed like we were predestined to be friends. She also had an umbrella.

She was handing out club invites, so I walked up to her. I had nothing to lose.

"You realize that you are a boy.. right? You can't be a school idol."

She turned her back to me and I pretended to walk away. I heard her sigh in relief. When I was out of her vision, I ran back to the front of the school without her noticing. Then, I snuck up behind her and took a flyer.

"H-hey! You idiot! You know that a boy shouldn't be the idol of an all girl's school!"

"You need someone to find a location to your performances, help advertise them, and actually have an interest in idols. I don't care if I don't perform. I just want to help you out."

She put her hands on her hips.

"H-huh? Almost fifty girls took my flyer! You don't think I would not have someone capable of-"

"We have the same last period, so I saw you the whole time. You only handed out flyers to the girls who got rejected from other clubs."

"Stalker! It's been thirty minutes since school ended! You watched me the whole time?"

I suddenly flushed red. Saying I was thinking about how similar we were probably would not end well.

"No, I-I just didn't have an umbrella an-"

She grabbed my arm and pulled me under her umbrella, because I was standing in the rain the whole conversation. Gotta give a sassy girl her space.

"There are so many other things you probably could have been staring at.. but since you were staring at me, the great Nico!..... uhm... I guess I can take you home."

Now I understand why she has no friends.
