Kida x Male!Reader

Episode One

[First Name] stood there at the street corner, making small talk with Erika and Walker, who were currently talking up their newest manga haul. "Yeah, we got a bunch of copies!" Walker goes on about said books with Erika chirping in with a few side remarks from time to time. [F/N] stood there awkwardly. It's not that he didn't want to talk with them… They'd just been standing there for the last half an hour chit-chatting his poor ears off to the point where the cardboard cut out anime character that they were clutching would have made better company to him. Just as he was about to make his brave attempt at escaping the situation, [F/N] heard the cheery and chipper voice of his friend Kida in the distance, accompanied by a wave and greeting from Erika and Walker. "Heheh, yo! Long time, no see, eh?" Kida chuckles, waving casually. Walking alongside him was a boy about yours and his age. He had short black hair, typical for a Japanese person, but it suited him fine. "Who's this, a friend of yours, Kida-kun?" Erika questions him. "Yep! This, everyone is my best friend from childhood, Mikado Ryugamine." Kida introduces the boy apparently named Mikado, whose name drew out a few comments from the pair you were conversing with before. "Hey [F/N]!" Kida smiles at the boy, trying to bring him into the conversation, knowing how quiet his [Hair Color]- haired friend could be. [F/N] shifted his gaze from the ground up to look at everyone. "Oh, uh, hello, Kida-kun." He says, giving a casual wave to his friend. "It's nice to meet you, Ryugamine-san." He turns to Mikado, bowing politely. Mikado chuckles awkwardly and shakes his head. "Just plain Mikado is fine, [F/N]-kun." [F/N] blinks at him, smiling and giving a nod of verification. A few awkward seconds pass before Kida throws his arms around the [Eye Color]ed boy and Mikado. "Well, my two bros, I'm sure we'll have oodles of fun together here in Ikebukuro, but Mikado and I must depart from you now if we are to complete our tour!" He announces grandly to the group. "Hehe, alright. See ya." [F/N] laughs at his cheesiness as Masaomi and Mikado walk off.

Mikado and Kida had been walking for quite a while, Kida talking the raven-haired boy's ear off when there was a loud series of angry grunts and curses, then a vending machine could be seen in mid-air before crashing to the ground in the distance. "W-what was that?!" Mikado asks the artificial blonde in surprise. "Oh, that? That's just Shizuo Heiwajima, just go about your business and you'll probably never run into him." He waves it off casually. "A-alright…" Mikado trails off, nodding slightly. "Oh yeah, by the way, remember that boy from earlier, [F/N]?" Kida pipes up. "Yeah…. What about him?" He looks at Kida. "He's [F/N] Heiwajima, Shizuo's younger brother. He's really a good guy, so don't be afraid to get close to him, 'kay?" Kida winks, giving his signature smile. "What?! I can't believe that someone like [F/N] could be related to vending machine guy…." Mikado chuckles awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. "Yeah, me neither when I first met him!" Kida laughs. "So…. How exactly do you know [F/N]? Are you close to him or something?" Mikado asks curiously. "Oh, um…. You could say he's a really good friend of mine, yeah. But don't worry! You ain't been replaced!" Kida laughs. Mikado was just about to open his mouth before hearing the rumbling of something in the distance. His friend's face lit up and he grabbed his wrist, tugging him to the curb. "Aw, man! Your first day and you're already about to witness a real urban legend!" And that was when the die was cast. The story began. There was no escaping now.
