Can you write something for Ryoshu? Like maybe her trying to ask the reader out and semi failing at it with her acronyms and being vague? Essentially tsundere Ryoshu? Feel free to ignore if it sounds boring
slight canto 9 spoilers, post canto 9 ryoshu!
You look outside the window while the scenery pass by, not so slowly of course, by courtesy of miss Charon. The sounds around you slowly fade into a low hum as you find yourself relaxing after another quest dealing with distortions. You are about to float to dream land when you hear someone sit next to you. Something clatters against the seat and you can tell it is Ryoshu with her Arayashiki. More recently she has been coming to you more often, often saying some vague acronyms before chasing Sinclair off with a glare, ever so helpful the boy is, so that he could not interpret for you. He always looks at you with a very.. sympathetic(?) gaze while being shooed away.
"G.A.P?," Ryoshu looks at your slightly contemplative expression, "N.S.B.D?" At her question, Sinclair jolts and looks back at you two. When your eyes meet, he shakes his head vigorouslym almost begging you to say no. The black haired woman shoots him a glare so venomous that had looks can kill, the boy would have died over twenty times. You sigh and pat her shoulder lightly, "It's fine, I was just wondering what your acronyms might mean." She scoffs as she leans back against the chair, "Learn then, I.W.N.L.A.S." Your head tilts slightly at the last acronym, "Does that have something to do with your being around me?" The tips of her ears heat up along with the back of her neck but she remains calm on the surface. Ryoshu lights another cigarette and takes a drag. "Why would you think that?," her fingers flick at your forehead making you yelp. You swear her sword just rattled but you quickly put the matter to the back of your head.
You rub at the abused spot while whining about her contradictory behavior, not noticing the light pink dusting her cheeks. You look out of the window again when you notice she is not going to continue talking for another while. Soon, you find yourself drifting off to sweet sweet dreams once again.
By the time you have woken up, you find your head resting against Ryoshu's shoulder and her jacket on top of you like a blanket. She has also dozed off with you, her head slightly bobbing along the rythmic shaking of the bus. It is already getting quite dark outside so it must have been at least a few hours since you have fallen asleep. With the smug looks the others are giving you two, you assume she have been in that position this entire time. You find your face heating up at the implications of this. She stirs awake when you move away from her, "You're awake?" You nod and hands back her coat, "thanks for this." Her face warms again but now you finally notice, "it's not for you," she says while turning away. At this point her face feels like it is burning and the fire is spreading around rapidly under your watchful and awfully amused gaze. She pushes your face away while lighting herself a cigarette. Ryoshu also looks away from you and at the other sinners messing around and definitely not gossiping about you two to distract herself from the feeling of your cheek against her calloused fingers.
It is only once you stop with that irritating cute smile of yours that she lets go. After a beat, she mumbles out, "W.D?" You look at her again, your eyes so beautiful glimmering in the bus light, "what does that mean, Ryoshu?" She finds herself clamming up at the most vital moment and suddenly she is a bumbling, messy teenager with her first love and not a bloodstained weapon. The walls, the shoddy lighting, even the grimy floor all seems a lot more interesting than they always have been in that moment. Her eyes dart around as the silence drags on. Yet, you keep your eyes on her. Your gaze pinning her to the seat and the only thing that can save her, her words, have decided to betray her.
Everyone else stills and they hold their breath until…
Sinclair suddenly stands up and turns towards you two, "Ryoshu m-meant to ask if you 'Wanna Date?'!!" He has had enough! You two have been dancing around each other for a long time and had only ramped up as the LCB team raided the House of Spiders. Ryoshu chokes, making some of her cigarette ash fall onto her finger yet she does not pay it any mind. Her heart is fighting to jump right out of her chest and scream her feelings to the world. You smile at her, leaning towards her now, "Is that true?" Ryoshu nods slowly, "So? What's your answer?"
You nod before basically jumping at her, "Of course! I'd love to date you!" She is quick to hold onto you and keeps you from topling her over. She pulls you in for a chaste kiss amidst the rowdy cheering of everyone. She tastes of cigarette and something sweet and it might just be the best thing you have tasted yet.
Though… you swear to the Light her Arayashiki is vibrating in the back. Is it normal for weapons to behave like this?!
