i'll like you ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Reo Mikage x reader

04 - love me back

Reo stole a glance at you, and for a brief moment, time seemed to slow. He noticed how your laughter gently flowed from your lips, a sound that felt both infectious and warm. The way your eyes sparkled with excitement and joy caught his attention, as did the delicate lashes on your lower lids, framing your gaze beautifully. You're perfect, he thought

Perfect enough to fool his parents.

The muffled drone of your teacher's voice blends into the background, a monotonous rhythm that oddly soothes the dull ache of another long day. Your mind wanders, unwilling to focus. Rumors swirl in your head—something about Reo and Nagi starting a soccer team for the school. Supposedly, it's bringing in funding and recognition, though you can't help but roll your eyes. Daddy's money at work again, no doubt. Typical.

Before you can stew in your disdain any longer, the sharp trill of the bell slices through your thoughts. You blink, snapping back to reality just as Yuna bounces up to your desk with her trademark cheerfulness.

"Come on! Let's go eat. They're selling pork cutlets at the cafeteria—your favorite!" she says, practically glowing with excitement.

"Alright enough being gloomy." You push back the sit as you stopd up, walking along side with Yuna. "Why exactly have you been gloomy this whole week?" Yuna question particularly

"School." An excuse, it was the fact you shared the same crush as Yuna. And how Reo suddenly became friends with Nagi. A very opposite duo you might add.

"You're lying" Yuna say calmly "What..?"

"School has never once stressed you out, I mean maybe if it was exams or a big test. But you're smarter than half the school combined"

You almost forget that Yuna was your best friend, "It's like you stalk all the students here, maybe even teachers"

"What— I was just looking out for you— y/n!" Yuna's voice rings to you, echoing in many directions as your head spins around, your eyes blurry. Did you...fall? You're on the ground...you felt liquid drop from your chin. In reflex your hand wipes it away, only to freeze as your hand comes back stained with crimson. Blood. That's when the stinging ache flares in your nose, raw and unrelenting. you look up to find Yuna besides you, her reaction seems frighten as her hand shakes around you. Her lips move frantically, but the sound doesn't reach you. Everything is muffled, like you're underwater. You felt another warmth engolf you, you look to your right and see purple hair, Reo. That's when your ears started to work again.

"Ah— I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there— I was running and—"

"Reo...put me down.." you say in a husky tone

"...but you're hurt?" His small eyebrows curl in slight worry

"I'm fine—"

"What are you doing?—Carry her to the infirmary!" Yuna says

"I said I'm fine" the mean tone in your voice was enough to stop everything that was going in motion. The students in the back gathered up like it's world war 1, the multiple gasp and whispers you can hear from afar even with the pain in your nose.

"Its like I bummed into Casoeh" Standing up you lift your head to lessen the blood thats flowing like crazy. "S-should you be standing up?" Yuna worries

"I'm sure, I'm fine—" Your body lifts into the air, strong arms hold you and you realize it was Reo. "Sorry Nagi, I'll come to practice late!" Then he zooms away through the halls to get to the infirmary. "What are you—"

"Im getting you to the infirmary"

—

The doctor inspects your injury, flashing a light in your eyes, and bandaging your sollen bloody nose. A sigh left her lips, "You said you felt dizzy, I think you should rest for the day in the infirmary till then. Don't need you coming back here because you passed out."
