The Detective Princess (Yusuke x reader x Akechi)

A Lovely Night

There was a gazebo in the middle of the park's river. Not many go there, for some odd reason. Then again, this park is normally empty.

I always went there after a bad day. And today, it was needed more than ever.

This counts as one.

Definitely.

"Akechi, follow me," I grasped his hand and led to the gazebo. He almost tripped on the path across the river but he caught himself before falling.

"What is this? Are you going to kill me?" He mused, obviously teasing. It's the first time I've ever heard him so carefree.

"Killing you would be such a drag," I crossed my arms and leaned over the ledge.

He hummed and stood besides me. We stared at the sky. The moon wasn't out, but the twinkling stars made up for it.

The cool breeze hit my face, making me close my eyes and take in the sounds of nature around us.

"Do you like it here? I always come here whenever I get bored. It helps me focus and get my mind off of things."

"I see why. It's a nice place," He agreed.

I nudged his side, making him flinch.

"Don't give this place away. I've already had my favorite cafe taken from me because of your food blog reviews," I grumbled.

"A-ah, sorry... The food there was tasty, I couldn't help but blog about it," he raised his hands in defense.

Normally, I'd be scared being alone with a boy. After what I've been through, I couldn't help but be cautious of my actions.

But around him, my body relaxes almost instantly. I notice his attitude seems to change around me. It's more quiet and sincere.

We were silent. All we heard were the crickets chirp and the wind blowing against the water underneath us.

How long would it take until they transfer me? My last agency took almost two months before sending me here. Maybe this one will be longer? I hope so. I didn't want to leave this place.

It is a nice area. There's very little crimes and a lot of wonderful places to visit like this one.

And the weather was better than Shibuya. There's less sun and more cloudy weather. Like that cloud up above.

Is that the shape of a cat?

How adorable. I want a cat-

I heard him reach out and tuck the stray strands of hair behind my ear. His gentle touch sent shivers down my spine as he pulled away and pretended nothing happened.

My lips were sealed shut, practically crying my thanks to God as the darkness surrounding us hid my face.

Was I blushing?

Why do I want to smile?

Shit, this guy is a player! I knew it-

But I've never seen him flirt to the girls at our workplace. He's always kept his distance. And instead of talking to the fangirls, he ran from them.

Wait...

Could this be considered a date?

He's showing affection to me. That's how two people out on a date would act.

He makes the move and I have to follow.

Am I ready?

What if he doesn't like my affection?
