Rumors... Asahi Azumane x Reader

"Have you heard?" your best friend said, a gloom scary aura emitting from her. She had her face ducked down and you could see the big grin and her eyes hiding behind her glasses.

Ooooh boy… another scary story. "Just tell me." you said leaning on the palm of your hand. You were in class and it was break time, and your friend just loved to freak you out.

She snickered, "hehehe…. Well, it is said that in this particular school, a veeeerry bad person walks around."

You raised an eyebrow, "continue," tapping your table impatientlt.

"This person is said to be really old, and he's actually a student here. No one knows how he got in here… but people say that he threatened the school, him being a gangmember of mafia. He was even caught handing drugs to a helpless lady!"

"All this sounds really stupid... why would a grown man want to stay at school…"

She shushed you by placing a finger against your lips, "it's said that he hunts around the gym every night at 8 PM… And if he sees you, he'll chase you down, and kill you." the last thing she said she made it extra dramatic by hitting the table really hard, making you jump.

"Sheesh. Where did you hear this from anyway." you scratched your cheek closing your eyes.

"A friend of mine had to stay at school late and remembered she had left something at the gym. And then you have my story… but the killing thing makes things more fun, no?"

You sighed, "there are so many questions I'll just let it go for now…"

You were home after dinner at 19:30, sitting behind your computer reading some fanfiction when your phone started ringing.

"Hello?" you asked.

"Gym….. help….. me…." you heard your friend sputter through the phone hoarsely. "HELP!" she said really loud and you could hear a loud bang and the signal was lost.

You tried calm yourself with the phone still pressed to your ear. You had to do something… ahh you should've just agreed to follow her when she wanted to investigate that stupid story of hers…

Grabbing your coat and sneaking out of the house, you left the house heading to Karasuno's gym with a baseball bat with your bike.

You hurriedly made your way there, and was surprised the gates were open.
Then you softly sneaked to the gym, where the lights were all turned off. To your surprise the door was still open.

Before heading inside you breathed in and out, to ease the nerves.

Once inside you regretted not bringing a flashlight with you. You were actually planning on doing so but forgot when trying to sneak out of the house.
So you used your phone screen to light your way.

The big space where sports were being practiced was empty and dark, so you moved on to the next area.

Figuring your friend must've first went to the boy's changing room, her being a perv, you headed to your destination and checked the time; 19:55.

Entering the changing room you softly called out to her. It was a miracle you weren't that afraid. Your feelings were more annoyance and irritation, your friend being so stupid to come here this late and being so irresponsible.

After calling a few times and no one answering you were growing impatient and called louder, but still no one to answer you.

You checked the time again, it was now 19:59.

You were still looking at your phone, you enjoyed looking at how the time would go from 4 different digits to 2000.

It was now 8 o'clock. You looked up from your phone… something was off. Something was… moving…

You quickly shot your phone screen to the movement, and saw someone with their back facing you sitting on the floor. It seemed like the person was looking for something.

"U-uhm…" you mumbled a little spooked. "Hello?"

The person tensed up and now sat with his back straight.

Seeing from the broad back, it was most probably a boy. You were confused by the hair that it could be a tomboy, but figured it was just a guy with a bun in his hair.

His face turned around and you were met with an old looking guy. He seemed really nervous and shot up from his sitting position, reveiling his tall figure.
Your phone was the only thing that gave light and when shining on the man's face it looked really spooky.

You were silently freaking out, and the said tall male could see your face slowly starting to drift into madness, so he wildly flayed around his hands in front of him, "no no no! I won't hurt you!" he said awkwardly.

That voice… you heard it before… "do.. do I know you?" you asked him narrowing your eyes curiously.

It seemed like he was disappointed when you asked, and he brought a hand up to awkwardly scratch the back of his neck, "w-well… yes."

Then you remembered. He was that guy who had all those rumors hanging around him, saying he's a real scary person, so you went to him to clarify the rumors.
He turned out to be a really nice gentle person, only his looks made him look older and scary.

You talked some time but eventually something personal happened to him, causing him to isolate himself. So you gave up eventually. But seriously though, how could you forget him and the pain he brought you.

"Asahi…" you gave a small smile still with a hint of nervousness hidden in it, "what the hell are you doing here at this hour."

He mumbled something incohertible and then turned to you, "what about you?"

You were unsatisfied he didn't answer you but it didn't matter. You crossed your arms, "I had a call from my friend yelling for..." oh man you had to save her… you totally forgot…. So you decided to call her.

Someone answered with a loud yawn, "hello, who is this?" it was the sleepy voice of your friend.

"What the hell where are you!" you shouted angrily. Out of the corner of the eye you could see Asahi tensing up at your loud voice.
He was crouching down again and grabbed something, seemingly a flashlight.

"At home what the- why do you call me this late- I MEAN… I'M IN TROUBLE PLEASE GO TO GYM."

"I'm at the gym. But you're not. Now why the heck do you want me to go here. Tomorrow you are só dead." you were so angry you couldn't even bring words to it.

"Eheh… well~ I'll tell you tomorrow. Have fun~" she hung up.

You were extremely pissed, clenched your fist and gritted your teeth. You were again in a dark room, having turned off your phone, but Asahi turned his flashlight on, right in your face.

You hissed in pain and covered your eyes.

"I'M SO SORRY!" he hurriedly came to your side, "are you ok?"

"If you damneds sake turn that light off and put on some real lights."

You were sitting impatiently in the gym's hall on the bench next to a nervously fidgeting Asahi. With an audible yawn you turn to him sleepily. "So what did you want to tell me." you tried to sound nice.

"Well... Will you listen to áll I have to say and let me finish talking?" he asked nervously.

You nodded and hummed in agreement, wanting to get this over with.

"First of all I have a confession to make… your friend set us up..." you shot your head in his direction threatingly. He nervously waited if you were going to say something, but you sighed and told him to continue. "Because I wanted to apologize… for ignoring you for so long."

You hummed. "It's fine. Something really must've happened." you wanted to reject him, but you thought you'd regret it later. "Was that all?"

"No. One more thing." he looked at you seriously and brought a hand up to your face. He held your cheek with one hand carefully. You sat frozen and looked at him intently… you seriously did still like this big gentle jerk.

"____, I like you." he confessed now his other hand reaching for your uncovered cheek.

Your flustered cheeks were sandwiched between his large warm calloused hands. How badly you wanted to say yes and jump in his arms… he did hurt you. "Asahi… I like you back but… you really did hurt me." you looked away from him and unconciously scooted closer to him.

He frowned at you, "I'm so sorry. But can we forget the past and move on? I really do like you, and I promise I'll never intentially ignore you again."

You frowned back. "Promise?"

He nodded, and when you smiled he leaned into you, lips softly touching yours. Your hands snaked around his neck and his were still on your cheek, pulling you ever so slightly closer to him.

Pulling back for air you didn't immediatly look at him, and leaned over to rest your head on his torso.

He rested his chin on your head and hummed comfortably.

"But seriously though… couldn't you just tell me at school or call me to go somewhere." you yawned and stood up.

He shook his shoulders and stood up too. "I think I'd rather have it this way. But please… don't question about this further." he also yawned and rubbed his eyes sleepily.

You actually were going to question further, but nodded and took his hand in yours. "Let's go. This place gives me the creeps."

"Agreed."
