Yamamoto Takeshi x OC
This may turn out fluffier than I expect so bear with me.
The day was bright, and clear. A soft, pleasant breeze freshened the air. Everything was quiet, until Clang! The sound of hard leather meeting metal was heard. Cheers rose up from a crowd as the star player on the Namimori Middle baseball team ran to first base and then to second. On his way to third the ball was picked up and thrown towards home when the opposing player realized that home team's secret weapon was on his way there. The white sphere was thrown fast, and hard straight towards the plate. The catcher reached out, caught it, and leaned forward to tag Yamamoto Takeshi. The view was obscured. The students, parents, and teachers of Namimori held their breaths as they waited for the umpire to make the call.
"Safe!" came the verdict after a tense moment. More cheers erupted, one of the loudest from raven haired girl. Her friend beside her rolled her eyes, but smiled any way as brown hair fell across her face.
"Ren just because your crush won the game doesn't mean you have to go ballistic," the brown haired girl teased. Ren blushed madly, and looked as though she wanted to disappear.
"K-kira I told you not to say anything about that in public. What if someone heard?" Ren asked worry dancing in her hazel eyes.
"No one heard me, besides you; the cheering was too loud. Which begs the question have you confessed yet?" Kira asked playfully.
"N-n-no, w-why would I do that? I can't compete with his fangirls. Besides I'm sure he already has a girlfriend," Ren said her short hair falling forward over her shoulders as she hung her head, "Anyway, we should leave since the game is over."
The two girls stood and filed out of the stands with the other spectators. Kira waved goodbye to her friend before heading away towards her home. Ren stood shifting from foot to foot as she waited for her brother to pick her up. After standing there for five minutes longer than necessary the black haired girl began the walk home.
'Guess he forgot again,' Ren thought with a sigh. As she went to pass an alley something caught her attention. She turned towards the alley wondering what it was she had heard. She was sure something moved as she continued to look into the slowly darkening dead end. Ren, against her better judgement, moved towards the alley.
"Hello is someone there?" she asked. Suddenly a cat leaped out at her. Startled she began falling backwards before crashing into something. The cat disappeared, leaving her to let out a sigh of relief. Then she remembered that she was being held up by something, and it was awkward too. Ren tilted her head back as much as she was able, and blushed when she realized what or rather who she were leaning against.
"Y-yamamoto-san! Gomenesai, I wasn't paying attention," Ren said embarrassment lancing her voice.
"Ahahaha it's alright. I didn't think you be afraid of cats though," the star baseball player said with a smile. Ren's blush grew even more pronounced much to her horror.
"I'm n-n-not really. It just startled me jumping out like it did," she tried to explain, brushing strands of your raven hair away from her face.
"Ahahaha I see. Well, I'll see you around Ren-san," Yamamoto said walking across the street. Ren stood there for a moment in shock. She couldn't believe that her crush knew her name. A grin broke out on her face unbidden, but not unwelcome. Her expression remained in that manner for a while as she made her way towards her house once more. Ren passed another alley way, but stopped puzzled. She had heard something again, but it sounded much louder than a cat. Her happy expression turned to a cautious one as she made her way closer to the alley. Suddenly she stopped.
"This is stupid, and I need to get home," she growled at yourself her hazel eyes flashing. Ren turned and continued on her way. Not long after though she felt as though she was being followed, but when she looked over her shoulder she saw nothing. She shrugged and continued walking her short black hair moving slightly as she walked. Still the feeling wouldn't go away, and Ren didn't want to lead someone, if indeed there was someone right to her home. So though it was getting dark she decided to change paths and go the longer way to her house.
*time skip because I'm feeling lazy*
Ren had been walking for nearly an hour now and the street lights were being turned on. Still the feeling wouldn't go away. She was annoyed, and getting tired. Still Ren just couldn't lead a stalker or something much worse to her home. Her hazel eyes were filled with frustration and she ran a hand through her hair angrily. She pulled out your cell phone, and dialed home. No one answered so she left a message.
"Hey Dad, Hiro sorry if I'm worrying you, but I'm taking the long way home. I'll be there soon. Sayonara," Ren said purposefully leaving out the part about her being followed; no sense in having them worry more. Then she hung up and put her phone back in her pocket. She continued walking but she was definitely getting tired. As her eyes grew heavy she didn't pay much attention to where she was going and as such she ran into something, probably a wall she guessed. Surprisingly for a wall it was warm.
"Ren-san?" a voice questioned.
'Who knew walls could talk. But why does it sound so familiar, and how does it know my name?' Ren asked herself. She looked up, and immediately blushed. The 'wall' was actually her crush. She was so embarrassed; this was the second time she had run into Yamamoto today.
"Ah Y-Yamamoto-san. Gomen I wasn't paying attention… again," she said sheepishly. Yamamoto laughed.
"It's fine," the baseball player said and then studied your face, "Your face is all red. Are you feeling alright?"
"Y-yeah I'm fine, just *yawn* tired," Ren explained sleepily. The shock of running into Yamamoto had begun to wear off and she was feeling the effects.
"Shouldn't you be in bed then?" the tall boy asked his brown eyes filled with concern. Ren nodded.
"Probably, but I can't go home yet," she said. Yamamoto tilted his head in confusion.
"Why not?" he asked.
"I'm being followed by somebody. It's their fault that I can't go home and go to bed," Ren complained. Yamamoto looked behind you, but saw nothing.
"I don't see anybody Ren-san. Are you sure you're being followed?" she was asked. Ren nodded.
"'Course I am, but every time I look there's no one there," she groaned, "But as soon as I start walking I feel myself being followed. And I don't want to lead someone to my house that has less than noble intentions."
"Then why don't you stay here for tonight?" Yamamoto asked. Ren sent him a puzzled look.
"The street?" she asked. Yamamoto laughed and shook his head.
"No my old man's restaurant," he said looking to the side. Ren followed the baseball star's gaze and found herself looking at Takesushi's entry way. She blushed in embarrassment.
"Well, I wouldn't want to impose," she said trying to play off her blunder.
"My old man won't mind, besides if you don't get some sleep you could get sick," Yamamoto said leading you into the restaurant.
"Ah Takeshi I was wondering what was taking you so long," Tsuyoshi said turning to face his son, "Oh whose your friend?"
"Old man this is Tsukiko Ren," Yamamoto said, "She needs a place to stay for the night, and I thought she could stay here."
"Only if it's not too much trouble Yamamoto-san," Ren said bowing.
"It's no trouble at all. I must say I've heard so much about you young lady," Tsuyoshi said.
"About me?" Ren asked pointing to herself in confusion.
"Yeah Takeshi's always talking about you," Tsuyoshi said, "Though I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever meet the girl my son seems to be infatuated with."
"Old man!" Yamamoto said. Ren blinked not sure if she had heard right: Yamamoto Takeshi infatuated with her. She looked over at Yamamoto and found a blush on the baseball player's face confirming his father's statement. She smiled.
"I would have never thought," Ren said, "Guess I wasn't paying attention to that either."
Yamamoto laughed, and rubbed the back of his head.
"Takeshi, I don't have too much to do so why don't you show your friend where she can stay," Tsuyoshi said. Yamamoto nodded and took Ren's hand leading the ravenette to the stairs which lead to the living quarters of the father and son. She was taken to what appeared to be Yamamoto's room. After all it had baseball pictures all over the place. Ren walked over to the bed and sat down.
"Yamamoto-san where are you going to stay?" she asked towards the door.
"Ahahaha I'll just sleep on the couch. I'll see you tomorrow Ren-san," the dark haired boy said.
"Matte, um gomenesai Yamamoto-san, but could you maybe stay?" Ren asked embarrassed, "I, well it's hard for me to get comfortable when I'm staying somewhere for the first time. And I'm afraid that whoever was following me may still be around."
"Ahahaha of course I'll stay. After all I have to make sure you're safe," Ren blushed when his words sank in. She found herself sitting next to her crush, and she thought back to earlier when Kira had asked if her confessed. She figured if she was ever going to do it, it might as well be now. Of course that could have been the sleep talking.
"Um, Yamamoto-san about earlier, downstairs with your dad," Ren started.
"What about it?" Yamamoto asked. Ren shifted for a minute, but finally worked up her courage.
"Well, was what he said really true?" she asked, hoping that it was. Yamamoto grinned.
"Yeah," Ren smiled at his answer.
"Good because I like you Yamamoto," she said. The baseball star seemed surprised at first, but his surprise turned into a smile. Ren found herself pulled into a hug, and the warmth from it had her yawning and falling asleep. Soon her eyes were closed and her breathing became even. The last thought she had before the oblivion of sleep took her was that she felt safe, and she wanted to stay that way for as long as she could.
