Smile for me: Tamaki x reader

Part 27- New friends

Y/n pov

Tamaki left my house shortly after, and after an extra hour of training with my dad, I was exhausted.

It was fun spending time with Tamaki, though.. even if I was 6..

AND EVEN WITH THAT DUMB GIRL AT THE F/F PLACE-

..
*the next day*

"Here we are. Back to Fatgums agency." I sighed, looking up at the tall building and then at Tamaki.

"I can't believe you're gonna make me socialize with Koiya and Hanahi.." Tamaki grumbled, his hands shoved in his pockets and his posture slouched as it usually was.

"Oh shut it, you need more friends anyway! Don't you think you deserve some nice friends?" I asked, tilting his chin up.

"Not really.." he muttered, making me burst our laughing.

"Tamakiii~ you do though!" I said in between laughter, patting him on the head.

"I already have you.." he stated, catching my attention. I blinked a couple of times, replaying his words in my mind.

What does he mean by that..

"a-and Mirio and Nejire of c-course!" He corrected, seeing how I noticed what he said.

"Heh. Anyway.." I murmured, trying to change the subject.
"Please just tryyyy to get along.." I pleaded, batting my eyes as I pouted.

"For me?" I added, and Tamaki groaned.

"Yeah.. Yeah I'll talk to them. Can we go inside now please?" He whined. I laughed one last time, and then we heading up to Fatgum.

"Good morning sir!"

"Hey Y/n, Amajiki! You're just in time. I wanted to start patrol earlier to make up for lost time!" Fatgum exclaimed, waving us over. Hanahi and Koiya stood in the corner, engaging in conversation.

"I swear that girl is so pretty! Look at her!" Koiya gushed, gazing at his phone screen.

"I guess she's pretty.." Hanahi shrugged.

Dorks..

"Oh hey N/n! Tell me this girl isn't 10/10!" Koiya greeted, showing me the phone screen. I saw a rather gorgeous girl, ocean blue eyes and long pure white hair.

"Jesus! Im jealous." I gasped, crossing my arms as I continued to start at the girl on the screen.

"Eh.. Y/n's prettier." Tamaki blurted, making me almost choke on air.

Excuse me WHAT-

"I-I didn't mean to say that!" Tamaki sputtered, finding the wall and banging his head against it a bit. My heart pounded in my chest so much it almost hurt- and I couldn't bring myself to look Tamaki in the eye.

This is so dumb. I can't let myself fall for my friend..

"Wow Tamaki! I didn't expect you to be so smooth!" Koiya joked, momentarily stopping my harsh thoughts. I let out a nervous laugh, scratching the back of my neck and wearing the slightest of smiles, but it wasn't too real..

Can we please just start patrol..

"Alright guys! Lets head out!"

Thank you..

..

Downstairs and now roaming the streets, I quietly followed behind Hanahi and Koiya- right next to Tamaki. Usually the two of us sat in comfortable silence, on good days having small conversations as well. This time it felt mire.. awkward.

I got so focused on making sure I didn't show how weird I felt, that all sound around me had disappeared, instead my thoughts floating around my head. My eyes jolted from my shoes to Tamakis, then back to mine.

Say something.. maybe about that new game that came out? We both play video games.. but what if he doesn't know of it yet? Maybe he only likes certain types of video games.. I could talk about training? Nah.. too boring..

Goddammit. I was beginning to act just like how I knew Tamaki always was- overthinking and anxious.

Does he really feel like this all the time? It's horrible..
Hey.. why does it feel like someones tapping me-

"Y/n?" I snapped my attention back to reality, and saw that Tamakis hand was gently resting on my shoulder as he shook me slightly.

"You're usually really focused.." Tamaki mumbled, almost to himself.

"Tamaki! Oh, I'm fine! Where you trying to talk to me?" I asked, shaking my head and brushing my weird feelings under the rug.

"Well.. d-don't you want to talk to Hanahi and Koiya?" Tamaki twiddled his fingers, looking off to the side and then back to me.

He really didn't want to.. but he's reminding me?

"Right! Hey, boys!" I chirped, stepping closer to my classmates.

"Hey L/n." Hanahi said with a smile.
"Hi, N/n!" Koiya smirked.

"So.. me and *AHEM* Tamaki! Were wondering about you two! You both seem very fun." I ribbed Tamaki, signalling for him to step up as well.
"Erm.. yeah." Tamaki awkwardly muttered, and Koiyas eyes visibly sparkled.

"Darling! You want to know about little ol me?" He beamed.

"Well.. Koiya is the hopeless romantic. I just make sure he doesn't get into TOO much trouble." Hanahi chimed in.

"Sounds interesting. Tell me more!"

..

In between the times Fatgum talked, Hanahi and Koiya each told me and Tamaki little things about themselves as we continued on our patrol.

We stopped at many food stands, trying different treats which lightened the mood a bit as well. The five of us were given plated of food free of charge, obviously because they wanted Fatgum to try it.

I learned that Hanahis quirk was called Flower, a beautiful and powerful quirk to have. Hanahi even made a stunning rose, which Koiya plucked and placed gently in my hair.

Koiya rambled about his celebrity crushes, showing us pictures of them as well. Fatgum agreed that most of his crushes were extremely pretty.

The friendly atmosphere even caused Tamaki to open up a bit, joining in on the conversation with a little help from me. Overall, the dynamic duo seemed to be great, loving people. I couldn't wait to become closer with the two, and expand my small list of friends.

I had almost completely forgotten about the little comment Tamaki made earlier today, but it still lingered in the back of my mind.

"I guess nothing crazy happened today after all." I hummed, leaning on my tall friend as if he were a wall.

"W-Well.. it's not every day you force me to make two friends." Tamaki playfully jeered, and I chuckled at the word force.

Leaning so close to him.. I can hear his heartbeat.. why is it so fast..?

"Yeah, well we didn't even see any villains today! I guess some other agencies beat us to it." I grumbled, crossing my arms.

"Hey, at least we got to try a bunch of food!" Fatgum commented.

"Tru-OO!" I wailed as I felt Tamaki slide to the side, causing me to fall back onto the ground.

"Ow! Tama~ what was that- ..for?" I trailed off, seeing that Tamaki was standing in a rather odd position.

"Girlie, are you okay?" Koiya emphasized, grabbing my hand and pulling me up.

"U-uh.. I can't..move?"
