Its Always the Quiet Ones || Reader x Shinsou Story

Ch. 2 - Impulsive Caller

—

<Y/N realizes their mistake with their bold remark about calling the number rather than sending out a text. Hesitant at first, Y/N goes through with their word and dials the number into their phone.>

~Y/N POV~

*DIAL TONE*

As the phone rang, I could feel my blood rushing through my veins. I've NEVER been this bold before in my life. And of course, Angel just HAD to egg me on.

"Its already on its 3rd ring... do you think they'll answer? Do I leave a voicemail if they don't pick up?" I ask while staring at the ringing phone in my hands.

"That's up to you Y/N. Its already too late, your number is already in their call logs."

"I know, I know... There's no backing ou-" I began to say before getting cut off by a familiar, quiet voice on the other line.

<On the Phone>

"Hello? Who is this?"

"I- um-, t-this is Y/N." -Holy shit!! DON'T TELL ME THIS IS WHO I THINK IT IS!?-
"O-one of my classmates in P-professor Nighteye's class gave me a note w-with your number written on it." I reply, stumbling over my own words.

*Angel giggling in the background, trying to remain unnoticed by the person on the other line*

"Shhh!!" I whisper, forgetting to mute myself.

"O-oh uh, is someone in the room with you? Its Shinso, by the way."

-Shit, of course I forgot to mute myself. Nice going Y/N! Idiot- "N-no s-sorry. U-um s-so... w-why did you give me y-your number?"

"I didn't really expect you to keep it...
U-um... I don't really have a reason for giving it to you. S-sorry.." Shinso responds, his voice getting quieter. He seems... nervous?

"Ah- i-its okay... um- wanna meet up before class tomorrow? Same spot as today?" -I might as well try to get closer to him. I'm still pretty new to the area and this school, so he might be of some use to me-

"Yea, sure. Sounds good. 7:30AM?"

"Yup! I'll be there, on time this time," I say, letting out a soft giggle. I can feel my cheeks slowly become a gentle shade of pink.

"Okay. See you tomorrow." He responds, a muffled chuckle quietly coming through the phone against my ear.

"See ya!"

*CLICK*

"Sooooooo, who was it?" Angel asked, being the nosy friend she is. "You seemed pretty comfortable at the end there."

-Was I? I didn't feel like I was... I mean, I kept stuttering so much- "Oh uh- it was one of my classmates, Shinsou. I accidentally ran into them this morning while trying to find my class."

"Oho!? So you have a class with him do ya?" She points out with a mischievous glow in her eyes.

"Yes, but that's besides the point. We only met today."

"That's what they all say. I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up becoming a thing~" Angel added while snickering to herself.

"Oh shut up!! You're always so mean to me!"

"You're just mad because I'm right and you're wrong. Just admit it! SOMETHING happened that has you fixated on them."

"Whatever." I scoffed, "I'm going to have my headphones in while doing homework. Tap on my shoulder if you need me."

7:00PM

I felt myself grow restless. A quiet, yet big yawn escaped my mouth as I stretched my arms up to the ceiling. Looking over at Angel, she was already fast asleep. She always fell asleep before me and wakes up super early. For what, I have no clue.

While packing up my books and laptop, I saw my phone screen light up. It was a text from Shinsou.

<Text Messages>

"Hey, are you busy?"

"Hey! No, not really. I just finished my homework. I was just about to go to the cafe in the lobby. What's up?" -He couldn't possibly be asking me on a date already, could he? Even if he is... should I even say yes?-

"Oh! That's perfect actually. Can I meet you over there? I need a little bit of help with one of the assignments for Professor Nighteye's class... if that's not too much trouble?"

"Sure. I'll be down there in a few minutes." -HAH! I can't believe I thought he was going to ask me to dinner or something. That's only something you hear about in a story. No way it would happen to me!-

-

"So, what was it you needed help with?" I ask, standing on my tip toes to look over the papers in his hands.

"Oh uhm, this one... I don't understand the ma- Ah- s-sorry! Should we sit down?"

I could hear the embarrassment in his voice. It was only slightly higher pitched than normal, but still quiet.

"Yes please..." I respond, silently letting out a sigh of relief due to having strained my neck to see his work.

8:30PM

"Thank you so much, Y/N. I really appreciate it," he says as he bows his head. I bow mine in respect.

"Sure thing! I'll get goi- OH NOOOOO!!" I pout while staring at the CLOSED sign on the window. "Is it already 8:30? I didn't get to buy my dinner..."

"I- uh... I have food in my dorm. I made it in the Culinary class not too long ago... I can share it with you if you'd like...?"

"Oh, s-sure! Yea, thanks!" -Y/N L/N!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?! JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE HUNGRY DOESNT MEAN YOU AGREE TO GO TO A BOY'S DORM ROOM!!-

"Alright, follow me then. It's on the third floor," He calls to me while holding out a hand

Oh did I want to hold his hand. Earlier I was already in a trance, his cologne and body heat radiated off of him so perfectly. "Just go on ahead, I'm right behind you."
