okay so like... akito x reader and he finds them after school hiding under a desk cause they're overwhelmed and it's a bunch of fluff and hurt/comfort nghsgsbs
“it’ll be okay. okay? there.”
after a long and exhausting day at school, you just can’t help but break down. for no apparent reason, at that. luckily, akito is there to help.
i apologize for having disappeared. after a long wait, here’s the fic.! i’m working on all the other reqs as well. tags: gn!reader, platonic OR romantic
the classroom was empty now. you could tell based on how distant everyone’s chatter was. only you remained, lingering behind like a ghost. right now, part of you wished you really were a ghost.
you didn’t know when it had started. the terrible, overwhelming noise. an hour ago, or two, or even at the very start of the day? it didn’t matter now. all you thought of was your pain as you sat huddled under the desk. shaking like a leaf.
someone help me…
your classmates might walk in at any second, and the very thought of that terrified you. they’d probably laugh and ridicule you badly, making this situation worse and worse than it already was.
oh god… oh god… what do i do?
“oi!”
you visibly flinched at the voice. who was this?.. no matter. he sounded angry, and that alone made your heartbeat quicken.
a pause. you curled up tighter around yourself.
“y/n, are you okay?”
akito..?
this time, he sounded much less scary.
“a-akito…”
the stammering slipped your mouth before you could stop it.
you weren’t sure what you wanted. his comfort? making him go away? before you had the time to think about it, he crouched down in front of you. suddenly self-conscious about having been rocking back and forth, you stopped and looked at his face.
surprisingly, there was nothing but compassion in his eyes. you averted your gaze quickly.
your heart… it hurt! it hurt so badly. you couldn’t really trust this boy, could you?
“do you want to… tell me what happened? talk about it? god, no, you’re probably in no state to… hold on, i’ll dim the lights.”
he seemed unsure. you didn’t want to trouble him, so for a moment you considered telling him off.
he got up and closed the classroom’s shutters. they weren’t connected to any other classrooms, so it wasn’t a problem.
in the end, you didn’t have the heart to fight his kindness.
“there. is that better?” he asked.
you nodded, wiping at your tears.
“thank you.”
“what for?”
“for being nice to me.”
akito grimaced. then, with great effort, he eased back into a softer expression.
“that’s the bare minimum. i saw you crying — heck, you were bawling your eyes out and panicking — so of course my first instinct was to help,” he said.
“hm,” you said.
“listen… i have no idea what’s got you so worked up, but it’ll be okay. yes, it’ll be okay. okay? there.”
your heart was practically melting. really, to you such kindness was a rarity. something truly precious. you were still hurting inside, but at the same time his very words were enough to ground you a little.
before long you realized your tears had stopped falling, so you couldn’t help but smile softly.
“this is so embarrassing,” you muttered sheepishly.
“believe me, i know what you mean.”
akito got up.
“but you’re already feeling a little better, right?”
“i think so,” you replied.
“that’s good.”
for a moment, you just sat in silence. it wasn’t particularly uncomfortable or awkward; you were still just processing your earlier emotions.
“sorry for the trouble,” you said eventually.
“i already told you, there’s no need to thank me or anything like that.”
he smiled.
you smiled back.
“you wanna go for ice cream now? our paths home from school are quite similar, anyway,” he mused.
“yes!” you exclaimed, mouth watering at the thought of ice cream.
and so you got up, idly musing about which flavor to pick, by akito’s side.
