Kunimi Akira x Reader Oneshots

Bishounen

It was a week before I graduated from high school, and I was avoiding my two best friends. I couldn't bear to see them after my announcement, especially Kunimi. And I knew Kindaichi was gonna be so angry that he had to find out that I was going to a University abroad from Kunimi instead of directly from me.

Classes had just finished and I ducked out quickly, speed walking despite having no particular destination. I couldn't go home yet because I knew I needed to distract myself from my increasingly incoherent thoughts. So, naturally, I went to my favorite ice cream shop.

My body carried me there almost automatically, but before I could enter I froze in place. Through the glass, I could see Kunimi inside, staring blankly at his melting salted caramel iced cream. Thankfully, it seemed like he didn't notice me, so I turned tail and ran, heading home, cursing myself that I forgot it was his favorite place too.

I knew that Kindaichi was probably waiting for me, but dealing with Kindaichi's yells was hundreds of times better than dealing with Kunimi's sad, piercing eyes.

True enough, when I arrived, he was seated at the front door, typing something on his phone. When he noticed me he immediately got up and stomped over, his intent on scolding me evident on his face, but for some reason, it morphed into one of concern as he neared.

"What the hell happened to you? You look like you were chased by a ghost!" He exclaimed.

"...Kunimi was in our booth. His eyes...his eyes looked so..." I muttered as I shakily inserted the keys.

Kindaichi said nothing but after a moment of silence, sighed. "We're going to talk about this first. Seriously, I thought you were the most rational and the least stubborn of all of us..."

I sighed as well but he knew it was one of defeat so he bit back his tongue for the meantime.

Once I was seated comfortably at my couch with him on a beanbag across me, he started the conversation by reaching over and smacking me in the back of the head.

"You think I don't have feelings because I'm a guy who does sports? You should have told us you were going abroad! Remember the incident when Iwaizumi-Senpai told Oikawa-Senpai that he was going to a different university? He had the decency to say that months early, even though it was still in Japan!" He started ranting.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry, stubborn Turnip-head..." I hugged a throw pillow as I tried to cover up my guilt with senseless retorts.

"Y/n, seriously..." he ran his hand through his hair and I looked down guiltily.

"I...I just didn't want you guys to keep thinking about it when we hung out," I practically whispered as I fiddled with the zipper of my jacket.

"...when did Kunimi find out?" he asked after a while.

"Ten days before you."

He closed his eyes and breathed slowly in and out to calm himself.

"Why do you even have to go abroad? There are a bunch of good universities in Japan..."

"I...it's my dream school, Kindaichi," I finally looked up at him.

He stares back for a few moments before he gets up, "Want some milk tea? You still keep it in that cupboard, right?"

"Yeah..." I replied as he walked to my kitchen, surprised at his lack of stubbornness at my earlier response.

We chatted about mundane things after he came back, until we'd finished the tea he made.

As he stood up to bring them to the sink, I stopped him and took them myself.

"So...I'll swing by tomorrow after school, too," he said when I came back.
