Riptide ~ Vento Aureo

8 - Grocery Mishaps

Sex Pistols was the first stand, other than Ocean Man, that Y/N has seen.

Of course, she already knew what the other stands look like, but this is reality. It wasn't an anime anymore.

It's real life. Bruno, Leone, Mista, and Narancia were real, breathing people.

Y/N, who was somehow transported to her favourite anime through sleep, has already decided that this was fate and she was meant to be with her favourite characters.

"Fugo and Y/N, why don't you two buy groceries? Narancia ate half of the things we need", Bruno ordered.

It was the first time that Y/N was leaving to go outside since she woke up.

"And Fugo, don't leave Y/N's side", Bruno added.

'I don't know if I'm supposed to be offended by that'. Y/N thought.

Fugo simply nodded. Y/N, on the other hand, was sweating.

'Holy shit. I'm gonna be surrounded by people- god I hate crowds'

"Y/N doesn't really like crowds, so stick with her", Bruno said.

'Why does he keep reading my mind?'

"Alright then", Fugo replied.

And they were off. Just like that.

The two teens drove to the local supermarket. Y/N sweating.

'Oh god oh god oh god- human contact- OUTSIDERS'

"Hey Y/N, you alright?", Fugo said, his hands on the wheels. "You're sweating like crazy".

"Maybe", she plainly said. Her eyes darted around the car. Outside, her hands, the seats, anything moving, but not Fugo.

Y/N was an introvert. Any sign of any other human life she doesn't know will make her anxious.

Fugo watched the girl shiver.

He's seen other girls who're shy, but he's never seen one so anxious.

Fugo thought 'It must feel nice being someone she's comfortable with-'

"Uhm Fugo- You passed the supermarket", Y/N said.

Fugo questionably looked at the girl before looking at the road.

"Shit. I actually did", he mumbled.

Y/N chuckled. Though Fugo can be smart, he can have blank moments sometimes.

'Must feel nice to be someone she's comfortable with'.

The two finally found a parking spot. By now, Y/N's hands were cold, yet sweating.

There were multiple people coming in and out of cars and buildings.

'Oh goddammit. If only I had enough confidence to decline-'

Y/N and Fugo stepped out of the car, closing the door behind them.

In that instance, Fugo walked towards Y/N's direction.

Suddenly, a warm grasp took hold of her cold one.
