A/N: Here's your request @Otaku_GamingZX149 ! Hope you enjoy it!
Surprisingly this one gave me some trouble to write, so I'm sorry if it's not up to par~
"Look it's (Y/n)!"
You awkwardly rub the back of your head and smile at the small crowd of students now gathering in the hallway.
"U-uh, hi..." you timidly wave at them, knowing you'll never be truly used to this attention.
Honestly, you didn't really understand why you were so popular. Nozomi had once said while you were in the student council room that your popularity rivaled, if not surpassed, that of the soldier game trio of Eli, Umi, and Maki.
Also, apparently you have an official fan club. You've met some of them by accident, and well...some of them give off a, let's say, stalker/borderline yandere vibe.
"It's (Y/n)-san!"
"(Y/n)-senpai!"
You attempt to excuse yourself from the crowd in the halls as you try to make your way to your 2nd year classroom, wishing for someone to save you.
"Oi, (Y/n)." You turn towards a voice you recognize.
"Nico-senpai?" You regard your 3rd year friend curiously, wondering what she needs from you. You also wonder if she could save you from this crowd somehow.
"Come to the idol club room after classes. We wanna ask you for a favor."
She then proceeds to glare in one direction. To your surprise they part and make a path for her to walk through. You contemplate following her but she just so happens to be moving away from the direction you need to go.
"Maybe I should learn how to glare like that..." You quietly mumble to yourself as the bell rings, forcing the crowd to disperse, leaving you alone in the halls.
"I wonder what kind of favor the idol club wants..." you whisper to yourself as you quickly walk to class.
You don't really talk with the famous idols, so you're somewhat unsure of what they'll ask of you.
Aside from when you've met them a few times, you don't usually interact with the other members despite three of them being in your grade. You do talk to Nozomi and Nico often enough, however, since you've helped out at the shrine whenever they needed a hand and you live near Nico.
You shrug your shoulders and decide to not worry about it until class is over, since you figure it's probably nothing big anyways.
xXx
You don't know how, but once the bell rang, signaling the end of class, you managed to evade most people and make it to the idol club door without attracting too much attention. Maybe it was because you practically ran here.
You take a deep breath and open the door. You look in the room and find only Maki sitting inside reading a book.
She looks up and then immediately drops her face to stare at her book, a light red tint covering her face.
"A-ah, you're here. The others...had various reasons as to why they said they were going to be late."
You manage to mumble an 'okay', confused but not particularly fazed, since you figured they would get here soon otherwise Nico wouldn't have asked you to come here.
You moved to take a seat in front of the red head as a somewhat uncomfortable, tense silence sets itself amidst the two of you, making you more confused.
You stare at the girl in front of you as she continues to read. Now that you think about it, you realize that this is the first time you're alone with Maki.
You've heard a lot about her from Nico and Nozomi and other rumors you've occasionally heard, as well as the limited number of times you've actually talked to her.
You have been a little more curious about her, you admit, but now that you're right in front of your underclassman you begin to understand why she has her own following too.
Her amethyst eyes shift across the page, as your own (e/c) eyes continue to observe the tsundere, entranced by her soft, pale-looking skin, her plump lips, and the way her eyes shift between the pages and you. Is it just you, or is she prettier than you recall?
"...Um, why are you staring at me?"
"H-huh?" Startled, you realize that you've been staring for quite a while now, "Ah---, s-sorry."
You rub the back of your head and look away, attempting to explain yourself, "It's just, I don't think we've ever really talked at length or been alone together, and well," you glance at her from your peripheral vision, "I'm a little curious, I guess. About you."
Her face begins to match the color of her hair, "Wha--, o-of course you'd be curious about me. Who wouldn't be?" She huffs and turns her head away from you, arms cross, her book forgotten on the table. You begin to giggle, thinking about how her tsundere act is pretty adorable.
You both suddenly hear knocking at the club door and you stand, wondering who that could be.
The moment you open the door you immediately regret your decision.
"Oh my god you were right, (Y/n)-senpai is here!"
"Senpai!"
High pitched voices overlap each other as you sweat-drop and immediately close the door and lean your weight on it, body facing the confused and somewhat alarmed red head.
She raises an eyebrow at you, "Your fanclub?"
You can only nod your head as you start to think of ways to get out of here, or at least get them to leave.
Maki sighs, an annoyed, dare you say jealous?, look on her face as she approaches you. She then suddenly pushes you aside and opens the door.
"Maki-san?!"
"Maki's in there too?"
An angry Maki stares at them, nearly yelling, "Look, can you leave us alone?!"
A silence falls as a delayed response comes, causing you to realize that not only the the door wide open, but you're still suspiciously on the floor.
"Huh? Is it just the two of you in there? And why is (Y/n) on the floor?"
To your horror you see Maki's face turn red, confirming any suspicions and misreadings of the situation the crowd may have.
You then quickly move to shut the door, just as your fans start to get rowdy again.
You take and breath and see Maki still staring at the now closed door, face as red as her hair.
"Why did you think opening the door and talking to them would be a good idea?!"
"Huh? H-h-how was I s-supposed to know that they'd take the situation the wrong way?!"
"Of course they would! They're crazed fans of mine for some reason! They're probably going crazy now, since you've pretty much implied to them that we're together." Not that I wouldn't like that since you're really cute, you wanted to say, but you figured now is not the time, especially now that they're banging on the door.
"I'm sure they're not all bad."
You stare at her, shocked, "You're defending them?!" You shake your head, "That's not the point. The point is we're trapped here now because there's no way we'll make it out alive if we tried to just walk past them. Why do I have to be so popular anyways...?"
"You're cute, plus you're really cool and give off those loyal butler vibes, which differs from Eli's princely feel, Umi's knight-in-shining-armor attitude, and...and my princess...ness."
You only stare at her, feeling the heat radiate off your face as she slowly realizes everything she's saying.
"U-uh, I mean! Th-those are, only things I've heard! I-I wouldn't kn-know."
"...I think you're much cuter, princess." You reply, figuring you don't have much else to lose with how red both of your faces are.
"Wh--?!"
You end up deciding to tease her, kneeling in front of her like a butler would, an arm across your chest. You're glad she's the only one in the room because you swear you're going to die from how embarrassing this is. Seriously, what's gotten into you, suddenly? Adrenaline?
"I-if you'd find m-m-me to your liking, your highness, then would you accept my proposal that we prove their assumptions correct and well, um, be together...?"
You keep your head bowed low, both from embarrassment at the situation and fear for her response.
"I-I mean, if it's not to your liking th-then I apologize and I-I understand, princess." Maybe you should just drop the act already, you're just embarrassing yourself more. Why did you even decide to do this?
Suddenly you see Maki's knees in your peripheral vision and you assume that she's knelt in front of you, for whatever reason. You then feel hands grab the sides of your face.
"M-Mak---"
"Sh-shut up already!"
She then proceeds to crash her lips into yours, forcing you to make a muffled cry in surprise as the taste of tomatoes fill your mouth. Before you can even properly reciprocate the kiss, she pulls away, leaving you leaning closer to her at your dazed attempt to make the kiss last longer.
"M-maki?" You whisper, still shocked and dazed and longing for her lips on yours once again.
"I--you---a-as your princess I order you to stay by my side as much as possible!" You only stare at the blushing red head. "Y-you...you can't leave me since you're now my butler."
Your red face slowly breaks into a smile as you stand and hold a hand out to the kneeling first year.
"Of course, your highness."
Omake:
"It sounds like they finally got together nya!"
"Shh! They'll hear you Rin-chan!"
"Ah, sorry Kayo-chin! Huh? You have some rice on your face~"
"Umi-chan?!"
"She'll be okay Honoka-chan, don't shake her...!"
"P-princely feel...D-do I...?"
"What, nothing about me?! I'm the world's #1 cutest idol!"
"Um, guys?"
The rest of the idol club continues to bicker and chatter as Nozomi lowers the camera, somewhat scared from the aura radiating off of Maki.
"Guys..."
"What's wrong Nozo--eep!"
The other members turn at the sound and find you and Maki staring at them. Your face currently rivals Maki's hair while Maki herself, on the other hand, looks ready to throttle someone.
"W-we can expl--"
"You guys were here the whole time?!"
"Uh, well...I have good footage that could probably sell a lot thanks to both of your popularity, though mostly (Y/n)'s, if you'd like a copy...?"
You restrained Maki before she could lunge at Nozomi for the camera.
"DELETE THAT FOOTAGE!!"
A/N: I have no idea how this chapter turned out like this but I hope you enjoyed reading it anyways ><
