Kirishima x Reader // "Sometimes I'm Alone in a Crowd"

Chapter 6

"Mmm, were the pictures too spicy? I mean they weren't like sexy really I'm just trying on clothes...that are very dusty. I don't go out enough"

Ryuko sat and looked at the two dresses laid out on her bed, mulling over the options. Kirishima was little help with his text earlier claiming he liked both.

"I'm so indecisive when it comes to shit like this, picky but can't choose between two things I know I like..." Her phone started ringing, scaring Ghost and making him dart out of the room.

"Hello?"

"uh hey! Sorry I just got done with dinner."

"Pick a dress. I'm giving you the option to choose what I wear, don't waste it."

"Eh? I mean they both look nice...mm. Decisions decisions...wait, is this a loaded question? Because no matter which I pick, it's assuming that you don't look as good in the other one. Which is a lie, I bet you look good in everything." Kirishima slapped a hand over his mouth, but he couldn't take back the obvious flirting that just spilled out. He heard Ryuko laughing on the other end.

"Oh my god, what a perfect answer – I look good in everything, pfft. You can flatter, that's for sure."

"Is it still flattery if it's true?" Now he was just being cheeky, gathering up some boldness.

"How do you know it's true though? Also you still need to pick one you're avoiding the question."

"What if I was very cliche and forward and asked what you were wearing, then." Kirishima thought he was pushing his luck, but she was basically indulging him at this point.

"Ooh, this game. I'm not playing this game." Ryuko chuckled into the phone. "I've sent you two pics of me, but I have zero of you so that's not a fair trade. Even it out, first."

"Aha, I don't have any dresses to model, though! But I'll see what I can do. Also, because you insist...mm the black one."

"So you're into the hips and booty, got it. Good to know." Kirishima sputtered on the other end of the phone.

"Wh-hold on! Was this a test?!" Ryuko tried to hold back her laughter on the other end as the man on the other end nearly dropped his phone from embarrassment.

"Hahaaaa! No, not a test. I was genuinely curious which one you preferred. I'm just logging this information away for later." She heard a distinct "oh my god..." on the other end of the phone, but it sounded far away like he was holding the phone away from his mouth. "Are you flustered? Sorry. I'm 26, and I said I'm not playing games." Her voice came down low, swallowing low as she hoped she wasn't being too forward. When this all began she told herself she would take things slow, feel it out, not rush...but now in the moment it was actually fun to lace innuendo and double meaning into her words to gauge his reaction and interest. He seemed like someone who was easily embarrassed, but was also going along with her lead. She could hear him clearing his throat on the other end.

"Ok, ok...no games." Kirishima silently pulled up the picture he took earlier of himself in the bathroom and sent it to her without mentioning it at all.

"Eh, what did you send..wh..oh my fuck." She was staring at this hot sweaty man in a messy manbun. She had been right, he was ripped under that cafe uniform. He looked like a very muscular nerd with some smug ass but adorable smirk on his face, hand on hip like he knew how good he looked right at that moment. Kirishima was silent on the other end, probably laughing to himself. But before she knew it the words were out before she could hold her tongue. "I want to lick you."

".....ah...what?"

"I HAVE TO GO SORRY BYE" She quickly hung up the phone and buried her face in her pillow and screamed.
