It starts out up as life long friends, and something ends up happening in which brings you to meeting Joker. AKA, Akira Kurusu. So, Your friend's name is Amber Cheng, just like you, she's of the lower class. Your family was a slightly more fortunate then hers, but even still you two still were the greatest friends, plus your mothers got along very well. Anyways, hello and thank you for checking out this story!
Y/N! Y/N!" Amber screams running to you. Looking over your shoulder you smile. "Hey Amber, what's up?" She stops catching her breath. "My mom's engaged!"
"That's great really news Amber!" You around taking a seat on a near by bench. "So, who is this lucky person?" Amber shrugs. "We don't know it's an arranged marriage, my grandfather suggested it, but! Me and mom get to meet them soon, possibly tonight!"
"Oh— Is she okay with this?" You look at her concerned, scratching the back of her head she turns away. "She apposed it at first, she wasn't sure how she felt about it, since it hasn't been that long since my father has passed.."
You gently put your hand on her shoulder to comfort her. She smiles, reassuring that she's alright. "But, gramps, said that it would help us out financially. So she said she would think about it."
"So, I guess my gramps, set it up for them to meet, and he said he should be here by tonight or early the morning, but I don't know anything about this man, just what he looks like."
"I'm concerned but you've peeked my interests. Do you have a picture?" She nods, beginning to dig her worn leather backpack. "Ah! Found it." Pulling it out she hands you the picture.
You flip it over, looking at the picture. "Wow, he's looks awfully young." You hand her back the picture. "How old is he?" She puts it back carefully in her bag. "He's 27, why?"
"Wow, he's 7 years younger then your mother." You scratch the back of your head. "And..?" Amber sighs looking up at you. "Usually arranged marriages, the women get married off to an older man don't you?"
Amber shrugs. "I don't know much about this stuff Y/N, so I wouldn't be able to answer you on that." You sigh. "How do you feel about all of this?" You question. She shrugs. "I'm okay with anything, as long as my mom is happy." You smile. "That's an amazing view point to have, I hope everything goes well."
"Thanks Y/N, I do too." The bell for class rings. You both sigh getting up. "I guess we will finish this conversation later in class?" She nods, you both head to class side by side, soon entering class and taking your seats.
Your teacher, Ms.Kawakami demands for the class to take their seats, soon after she begins the lecture. You rest your chin on your desk looking up and down at the chalk board, taking notes.
"L/N, could you come up to the front to answer this." You look at her and nod. Pushing yourself up from your desk, you make your way to the front, but in a blink of an eye, you find yourself sliding, face planted, and onto the floor, with skinned knees.
You sit up, looking back to see a curly headed blonde girl, who smirks. You turn around, pulling yourself up, to end up inches away from a pair of thick black framed glasses, and a pair of charcoal grey eyes.
Flustered, you jump back hitting your head under the desk besides his. "Ughh— This is embarrassing.." He puts his hand out towards you looking at you with concern. "Are you alright?.."
You nod, grabbing his hand, face flushing a slight shade of red. He pulls you up, but you wobble a bit, cringing in pain. Ms.Kawakami notices. "Hey Kurusu, could you take L/N, to the nurses office. That was a nasty fall she had." He nods, pulling your arm over his shoulder, helping you to walk.
Both of you make it out to the hallway. "I c-can walk on my own.." he stares at your wobbly self and raises an eyebrow. "I really doubt that." You look at him frowning, pleading to let you walk on your own. He sighs, slipping your arm out from over his shoulder letting you walk on your own. Taking your first step, a pain stricken shriek escapes from your throat.
"Yeah, no. You're not walking." He squats down on a single knee. "Get on my back, I'll carry you." You shake your head. "N-no— I hardly know you." He sighs. "You can't even walk a step on your own." You shake your head again. "N-noo" you cry out embarrassed.
"I-I'll just..—" you flop backwards onto your back, and start sliding down the hallway sliding your back across the floor pushing yourself with your knees, cringing in pain every bend of your knees.
He sighs, leaning over you. "Please, just let me help you." You turn away embarrassed. "F-fine.." he sighs in relief. "Thank you." He lifts you up carefully by your arm, then squatting down in front of you, back turned, arms behind him, and hands cupped ready to grab onto you, to keep you from slipping.
You take a deep breath and climb up onto his back. Quickly he cups his hands under your knees, and lifts you up. "Hey, You're actually pretty light." He smiles as he walks down the hallway.
"T-thanks, I guess..?" You shift a little trying to get comfortable. Eventually you both arrive at the nurse, he turns to the side, ushering you to turn the door handle.
You nod, opening the door, you both then enter. "Ah. Wait." He carefully slides you off of his back and onto an unoccupied bed.
You both hear loud, running footsteps from the hallway. "Y/N! Are you okay!—" You turn towards her visually embarrassed.
"Should I go..?" She asks pointing out her thumb towards the door. "N-no it's fine Amber, come in." She flops down onto the bed next to you. "What happened."
"I tripped over a girls foot, it looked like she did it on purpose." He looks behind looking over at you. "Who did?" You both look at him. "Um.. I don't want to worry to much about it— I don't rather avoid any drama." You uncomfortably scratch your head.
He sighs. "Okay, just If you would like to ever talk about it I'll be here." You blush and nod. "T-Thank you I'll keep that in mind...—" you pause trying to remember his name.
"Ah!—" you slam your hand down on your thigh "Kurusu!...." you grip your thigh, cringing in slight pain. Amber looks at you. "You good?" You nod gritting your teeth.
"You can call me Akira, if you wish." He smiles at you. "—also, here." he hands you an ice pack from the freezer. You smile and put it on your hurt knees, occasionally on the spot you hit on your upper thigh.
He looks down at your knee, kneeling down in front of you softly touching around a burn on your knee from skidding across the floor. You flinch accidentally kneeing his face.
Your eyes widen, quickly you slide off the bed and sit in front of him. "Oh, A-akira.. I'm so sorry! I didn't mean too—" you see his nose bleeding. You panic starting touch all over his face hand shaking.
"Oh! Oh! Is your nose broken!?— I'm so so very sorry.." you shakily touch around on the top of his nose. "I-I'm sorry.. my knees are ticklish. I didn't mean to—" your eyes water. "I—I'm.. so—" he covers your mouth and chuckles.
"Hey, Hey. I'm fine. It's not broken—" he wiggles, and cringes up his nose. "See, I'm fine." He pulls out a tissue and dabs at your tears. "You can relax."
Face tinting red you look away, when you do, you notice Amber turned away, scratching the back of her neck flustered by the two of you. He stands up grabbing your hand pulling you up, then sliding his hand out away from yours.
"T-th—" choking on your words you bow to avoid eye contact. "T-THANK YOU!" Embarrassed he rubs the back of his neck. "U-uh.. you're welcome—"
"Y/N L/N!—" you clear your scratchy throat. "B-but you can call me Y/N.." he smiles. "I'll call you Y/N then." You nod face flushed a deep shade of red.
"Hey Y/N, would it be alright with you if I bandaged your knee for you, I don't think the nurse will be here." You nod. "Y-yeah that would be alright."
He grabs out a kit, grabbing wrapping bandage, healing ointment, and a pair of gloves. Opening the ointment bottle he squeezes some onto his index, and middle finger. "This might hurt a little, try not to kick me in the face this time."
"You blush and nod." He kneels back down, putting weight on the non injured part of your leg, so you don't kick him. He gently rubs the ointment onto your knee.
"Almost done, I just need to wrap it now." He pulls off the gloves and wraps and clips the wrap once it's around your knee. "Can you move your leg around a little." I want to make sure I didn't wrap it to tight."
You nod moving your knee. "Yeah, that's great. Thank you.." he smiles, getting up. "Well I'm going to head nice meeting you Y/N and Y/N's friend, I'll see you both later." He waves, then leaving out the door back to class.
You sigh and look at Amber. She punches you in the shoulder. "What was all of that! That was some romance novel shit right there Y/N!" She punches at your shoulder three times. "It was cute! But I felt so uncomfortable! I felt like a third wheel!"
You laugh embarrassed. "I don't know what that was but my face feels so warm!" You cover your cheeks. We should probably head to class too. "Are you fine to walk?" You smile then nod. "Yeah."
