!Flirty!Ninomae Ina'nis x !GN!Reader
I know I said I was gonna do more of the Japanese/Indonesian hololive members, but... flirty Ina. Plus I have two drafts in store for this book. One is headcanons for Mel and the other is headcanons for a poly Noefure, so look forward to that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nervous was one way to describe you, but then again, it was your first time in the fabled Hololive streaming centre. Your manager was walking swiftly a few paces ahead of you, the rest of your gen already been directed to their own streaming rooms. Honestly, you just wanted to get to your room and never leave.
You heard your manager tap the clipboard they were holding, muttering a few words under their breath. Noticing you were starting to fall behind, you quickly increased your pace to match manager's, walking close behind them like a scared child. You didn't feel like getting lost on your very first day.
"Oh, good afternoon Ina'nis, Calliope" Manager tipped their head in the direction of your two passing seniors. They both gave you a friendly wave, prompting you to give a shy one in response. As they walked away, you heard the reaper say something jokingly, though you didn't hear the priestess laugh. You did however, feel a pair of eyes staring at your departing figure.
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
So here you were, seated at your new, admittedly quite cushy, streaming room. It was decorated exactly to your liking, set to the perfect temperature, too. But even the plush comfort of your streamer chair couldn't distract you from that odd feeling.
A buzz from your phone provided you with a momentary distraction. It was one of your genmates asking if you wanted to meet up in one of the nearby common rooms. You were about to politely reject, wanting to do nothing more than to curl up on your chair and stare into space, but that helpful little part in the back of your mind reminded you of the vending machine that contained god tier snacks.
You mapped out the entire building in your kind briefly, as best as you could at least. You nodded to yourself, double checking that the route you were thinking of did in fact lead to the common room. Yes, this would work, though you would prefer to have one of your genmates walk with you, but you assumed they were already on their way there.
Man, you were too nervous to do this. But it had to be done one way or another... or was it sooner or later? Meh, whatever, it had to be done.
You nervously poked your head through your cracked open door, making sure the coast was clear. You normally wouldn't do this, but something in your gut insisted you made sure everything was ok. You nodded your head, humming to yourself. Something you had perhaps picked up from one of your favourite seniors.
'Okay, so I need to take a left here, and then a right, then the common room should be just down the hall' Yes, that sounded right.
Your thoughts were proven correctly when you saw one of your genmates waiting by the door. They turned their head to smile at you, but then they instantly paled.
Before you knew what was happening, you were shoved against the nearest wall, a certain familiar eldritch priestess giving you a smug smirk. Her gloved hands were placed beside your head, pinning you directly against the wall.
"Oya oya~ Little lamb. Are you lost?" The little ears on top of Ina's head twitched curiously. They also gave you something to focus on while Ina stole your heart.
"Is it because you are not here in my arms?" Oh god, you felt like you were about to burst into flames. Were you melting? It felt like you were melting, especially with that look she was giving you.
The only noises that escaped your mouth were incomprehensible squeaks of embarrassment. Ina chuckled lightly, giving you a playful wink.
"Guess I'll be seeing you around, little lamb~" And with that Ina left, trailing a finger under you chin before spinning around, her hair splayed along her back like a cape.
You were pretty sure you had melted, you knew you had, you were even on the floor with you genmates hovering over you giving you concerned looks!
How were you going to make it to your debut stream when your flirty senpai was going to kill you with winks first?
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
You laughed at one of your genmates jokes, gripping the cup of hot chocolate in your hands softly, relishing in the warmth it provided. It had been a few weeks, perhaps two, since your first day, and you and the rest of your gen had settled in nicely.
Right now, you were in the very same common room you had almost died in front of. Well, Glitched said you were overreacting, but you try and survive one of Ina's kabedons!
"Oh yea! Glitch, been meaning to ask you, we know why everyone else joined Hololive, what's your reason" Glitched just gave a toothy smile.
"Oh, y'know, just making sure everything's in check. The reader's can be quite bottom-left at times, so I'm here to make sure everything runs smoothly" Glitched flicked their feathered tail, their eyes narrowing.
"And before you try and say otherwise, might I remind you of the 'Mommy reaper milk' incident that happened over at Calli's book" Glitched gave a dead eyed stare towards the screen. Meanwhile, the rest of their gen just gave her a weird look.
"Ah.... Anyway! Would ya look at that view! It's certainly very pretty! Y'know what? I'm going over to the vending machines" Glitched suddenly broke the illusion, getting up a little too quickly before exiting the room. The rest of your gen smirked before following. You just stood there in front of the window, not really knowing what was going on.
"Glitched is certainly right. The view certainly is beautiful. But not a beautiful as you, (Y/N)~" You almost jumped out of your skin when you heard that silky smooth voice right in your ear.
Beside you, Ina was standing a little too close than what would be considered as normal. You shivered. The way she whispered those things in your ear made you hair stand on end.
"Ah! Ina senpai! You scared me" You gave your superior a crooked smile, trying your hardest to keep it together. Ina just gave you a smile that could give anyone diabetes, her little ear flaps perking up happily.
"I'm sorry, you just looked lonely over here" Ina reached up a gave you a few rushed headpats. "I would love to stay and talk, but I have a stream I need to catch" On her way out, Ina turned around a blew you a kiss accompanied by a sly wink.
(Y/N).exe needs to reboot
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
You silently cursed under your breath as you lost another life. You sighed. Lose one more and it would be game over.
You took a moment and stretched, taking a moment to listen to manager's and EnMa's conversation. You just shrugged. It was regular manager stuff. Upcoming streams and collabs, making sure their gen was getting enough rest. You were fine though, along with the fact that manager would constantly check up on you, Ina had also taken to making sure you were staying healthy.
You face flushed slightly thinking of the priestess. Ah... you were kind of on edge, wondering when Ina would make her next attempt at flirting.
You took a deep breath, choosing instead to focus on lasting as long as you could on Haachama Ware, Inc!.
"Oh, by the way (Y/N), mind doing me a favour?" The abrupt question caught you off guard, causing you to lose your last life. You sighed and turned to Enma.
The English manager help up a still cold bottle of Dr. Oopsie. Huh, ok, if this was going where you thought is was going, you'd better start mentally preparing.
"I need to take some documents to Ina, but she also requested for me to bring a fresh bottle of Dr. Oopsie, but I can't hold both of them. Mind helping me out?" If you didn't know any better, you'd have thought Enma was trying to set you up with Ina. I mean, the thought didn't sound too bad, it was just the over the top flirting that made your heart race way too fast.
You just nodded stiffly to Enma's question. Manager just gave you a friendly pat on the back as they left. Enma smirked, carefully collection the stack of papers on her desk before gesturing to the bottle which you picked up.
Since you had no idea where Ina's streaming room was, you followed behind Enma closely. It somewhat reminded you of your first day at Hololive, and you were somewhat starting to hope would end the same way.
Several times you ended up walking past Enma, having been walking faster due to nervousness. Every time this would happen, you gave her a sheepish smile.
Ina's room was several shades of purples, blues and dark greens with lots of blue light lanterns. You noticed that she did in fact have regular lights, but the priestess looked to be doing something similar to meditation.
"Hey Ina, got those documents you need. Also brought the bottle of Oopsie, too" From where she was sitting, Ina cracked open an eye. After seeing you were there, she looked like she had to restrain herself from jumping up and hugging the living daylights out of you.
"Hang on EnMa-chan, I just gotta turn off the heater" Both you and Enma gave each other a confused look considering the room's temperature was bordering on almost too cold. Ina just gave you a smug smirk.
"My bad! Is couldn't tell if it was the heater or you, (Y/N)" Ah, and there was the flirting. You just smiled as Ina took the bottle of Dr. Oopsie from your hands, letting leather brush over your fingers for a few moments.
"You should've seen (Y/N) on the way over here. Kept walking ahead then had to wait for me" Enma added nonchalantly, placing the papers down on an empty spot on Ina's desk. Why would she bring that up? No one - Ohh, she was just giving Ina more material.
Speaking of, said tako smirked at you.
"Ah~ (Y/N) is fast, but not as fast as my heart beating for you~".
You covered your face with your hands, trying to muffle any embarrassed noises that tried to escape your mouth. Meanwhile, Enma chuckled in the background while Ina gently placed her hands upon yours, laughing along.
