Yata x Reader

"The guys are definitely gonna be pissed about this."

you look at your face in the schools bathroom mirror. there was a big bruise on your face lately you've been getting bullied by some guys at your school because you happened to find one of them taking a kids lunch money. you beat the guy up no problem the only thing was that when you went to school the next day there would be more of them. taking on one wasn't a problem but more than one would be. lately they've been getting more and more aggressive. at first when they beat you it was only your arms or places you couldn't see the bruises although they still hurt. you had a bit of a hard time hiding it from your family. you smiled at the thought of them they were all good people rough around the edges but strong and protective over their loved ones.

you were a makeshift family none of you were related by blood but you all believed that your bonds were thicker. it was true too they first found you wandering the streets when you were 10. they took you in. fed you gave you a home, a family. they raised you as if you were their own although they were a bit protective but you couldn't blame them. they saw you and Anna as they're treasures. not to mention they were the red clan and have many enemy's they would die protecting you as well as you for them, even if there was only a small limit to what you could do for them. you remember how you begged Izumo and Tatara to let you go to school to see what it was like to be normal they finally agreed after three months of going over the pros and cons.

although Izumo did have a condition to you going to school if you were ever harmed or if there was any type of danger to you they would immediately pull you out of school and start home schooling instead. you knew you couldn't hide it forever and didn't want to lie to them but you still wanted to continue learning at school. you were actually pretty good at it too if you did say so yourself. whenever you brought your grades back to Izumo he would always praise you in addition you had friends here not many just two Saruhiko Fushimi and Misaki Yata. Saruhiko was incredibly intelligent but often had a bad attitude keeping people at a distance but once you got to know him he wasn't so bad. Misaki was the exact opposite of Saruhiko he wasn't to smart but he knew how to make you feel at ease and safe around him he was very protective over you as well. at first he was completely afraid to talk to you but over time he got used to your presence and just stared talking now it was second nature. he still blushed when looking at you but you figure it's just due to his shyness. the ringing of the bell snapped you out of your thoughts you started making your way to the classroom once you got there you see Saruhiko and Misaki. you walk over to them.

"hey guys what you up to?"

"hey."

"hey me and Saru were just working on a game- wow! what happened to your face? did those bully's do this again I'll kick their ass's!"

"yeah... but you promised you wouldn't get involved I don't want you guys getting hurt."

you pout. Yata crossed his arms mumbling something under his breath.

"honestly why don't you just tell your family what's going on and put a stop to it."

Saruhiko cut in.

"yeah about that... there were some conditions when I started school otherwise I wouldn't be here at all."

you told them about the conditions Izumo made for you going to school.

"so if they found out I'd definitely be taken out for sure. I don't wanna leave you guys! this place it's so much fun being with you guys you make things 10x more fun!"

"well you're definitely gonna have a hard time hiding that."

Saruhiko pointed to the bruised cheek. you sigh if frustration at the problem.

"well we should go to the nurses office first to patch you up then we can think of a plan."

you nodded heading over there with them.

When you got there you sat on one of the beds as Saruhiko got out the first aid supplies. Yata sat on a chair facing you. he thought for a moment as Saruhiko started tending to your bruised face.

"hey I got an idea. what if we went home with you today and helped explain to your family about what happened? maybe if you show them that you have friends on your side they'll let you continue going."

"I don't know if that's a good idea Misaki..."

sudden images appeared in your head of both your friends surrounded by Homra and interrogated about what they do and what you're relationship is with them.

"what's with the frown?"

"it's nothing it's just my family is kinda... different than most."

"well do you have any better ideas, cause if not I'd go with Misaki's idea. plus I got to admit I have been curious about what it's like at your house. I mean you've been to both of ours but nether of us have been to yours."

"yeah Saru is right!"

they did have a point and their plan wasn't half bad. I mean it could go either way, it did raise your chances of continuing school by at least 1%. after a moment of thinking you nod.

"yeah sounds good."

"yes!"

Yata grins.

"but you got to promise me something."

"what is it?"

they both look at you.

"promise you'll still hangout with me even if I get taken out."

"of course we'll hangout with you were friends right!"

"tch. idiot that should be obvious. plus I doubt Misaki wants to lose the only girl he can talk to."

"shut up Saru!"

Misaki snapped back.

"what it's true."

you couldn't help but giggle at their exchange. Misaki looked at you for a second then looked away.

'geez she's so cute when she smiles like that.'

Yata could feel Saruhiko's knowing smirk and Stare at the back of his head.

"alright then it's settled we'll go to Y/n's place after school!"

he said you all nodded and head back to class.

Soon school ended and you were leading them to the bar. you got more nervous the closer you got.

"hey Y/n it's all gonna be ok. I mean we're right here with you."

Misaki said in a cheery tone, you looked at him.

"yeah you're probably right. we'll we're almost there."

you continue walking feeling a bit more confident. soon you were in front of the bar.

"ok. so this is my place."

you smile sheepishly. the two boys were surprised.

"interesting so you live in a bar."

Saruhiko stated.

"well I live above it if were being precise. my family owns it."

"cool so it's like one of those family owned places like they advertise on tv except it's a bar instead."

"yeah I guess you could say that anyway we should probably go in."

you took a deep breath opening the door.

"I'm home."

Izumo was behind the counter wiping a glass. Tatara at the bar fiddling with his camera. Mikoto and Anna sitting on the couch. the rest of the guys in different parts of the bar doing their own thing. Tatara looked up.

"oh welcome home. oh what's this you brought friends."

everyone in the bar stopping whatever they were doing, looking up staring at the two guys with annoyed looks.

"I'll go get some tea and snacks~"

Tatara said happily heading to the back room. Izumo set down the glass he was polishing carefully looking at you.

"Y/n."

"yeah."

"who are these guys?"

"my friends."

"why are they guys?"

"the girls at school are boring. these guys are way more cool! plus the only thing the girls talk about is make up or shopping it gets boring. but these guys are awesome! Saruhiko is really, really, smart! and Misaki is the most encouraging and caring loyal guy ever!"

Yata blushed a little looking at the floor from your compliments.

"hey. why does he get three while I only get one?"

"I put two really's in front of yours though."

you look at Saruhiko.

"tch."

he looks away you sigh. Mikoto was watching the exchange.

"Y/n."

"hmmm?"

you looked over at him.

"what happened to your face?"

you glopped.

"I-I got hit by a bully at school..."

Izumo narrowed his eyes.

"I knew this was a bad idea. were taking you out."

"no! wait! you can't I love it there!"

"Y/n you know that the situation is different than most kids your age."

"yeah but..."

"no but's. you agreed that if you felt one sine of danger you were out."

you frown. you couldn't deny that you agreed to that but you still didn't want to leave. you were staring at the floor till a voice snapped you out of your thoughts.

"that's actually why were here. we wanted to tell you that she isn't alone. plus she really loves it there she's good at what she does. she even helps me and Saru when we're in trouble. she's a good friend if she's ever in trouble then then... I'll protect her!"

he blushed a little. you turn to him surprised.

"Misaki..."

Kusanagi turned to Yata.

"listen kid I can tell you got a good heart. but your in over your head you don't know what you're volunteering for. it could cost you your life and I doubt you're ready for that."

"wait."

Mikoto spoke up again.

"Mikoto?"

Kusanagi looked at him. Mikoto stared at Yata and Fushimi.

"do you guys really mean what you said? about protecting her?"

Yata and Fushimi's eyes burn with determination, they nodded.

"heh. I like those eyes. you seem to have fire so I'll give you an offer. I'll give you two power in return you protect our princess, what do you think?"

Mikoto smirked at the two. Yata and Fushimi looked at each other then nodded again.

"we'll take your offer."

"very well. but I must warn you it does come with danger and there's no going back."

"that's fine with us. we'll do anything for her."

"very well then. take my hand."

Mikoto held out both his hands to them. right before they take it, his hands burst into flames startling them both. after a second they both take his hand. it didn't burn it only felt warm and safe. suddenly there was a searing pain but it was gone immediately. Mikoto let go of their hands.

"so I suppose I should say welcome, since you survived."

"survived?"

"so where are your marks?"

"marks?"

"you felt it right when the power entered your body it burned for a second."

Kusanagi said looking at them.

"oh yeah."

Yata looked at the place where he felt the burn.

"hey I have a tattoo. Saru do you have one too?"

"yeah."

"then let me be the first to welcome you two to the red clan."

Kusanagi said as he picked up the glass he set down.

"wait the red clan?!"

Yata turned to you surprised.

"hehe..."

you scratched the back of your neck.

"yeah..."

Tatara came back from the back room with a tray of food and drinks.

"hey I brought some snacks and drinks!"

he looked around.

"what I miss?"

"we have new members."

Mikoto said in a gruff voice.

"we have new family members king and you didn't call me out to be here to film it."

"it was a split second decision. they'll be protecting her when at school."

"oh then we should all say welcome to the family."

"he's right everyone."

he looked around as they all came up to the two boys.

"welcome to the family."

Kusanagi spoke up again.

"so what are your names?"

Yata stepped up first.

"my name is Yata Misaki. but you guys can call me Yata."

"I'm Saruhiko Fushimi."

he said as he adjusted his glasses.

"well then. Fushimi. Yata. take good care of our princess."

they both nodded standing by you.

"alright well now that that's cleared up let's go to my room we can play video games. what do you say?"

you look at the two boys.

"yeah sounds good."

all of you went upstairs. once they all knew you were all out of earshot Kusanagi asked Mikoto.

"why'd you decide to take them in?"

"I got a good feeling about them. that they'll fit in well here as well as keep y/n safe. especially the one with the benne. plus Anna said y/n likes him and that he makes her feel happy I can't deny her that."

"I suppose it's ok as long as it doesn't get out of hand."

Kusanagi sighed.

"you truly are homra's mother Izumo~"

Tatara teased.

"that's only because you guys never take things seriously! whatever as long as she's happy I guess it's okay."

Upstairs in your room you were hanging out with Saruhiko and Misaki playing video games.

"I'm hungry. you guys want anything?"

you look down at the two. Saruhiko looks up at you.

"no I'm good."

"I'll take something if you're offering."

Yata says.

"cool I'll go get it, you guys stay here ok."

you leave the room to go get the snacks and drinks. Saruhiko turns to Yata.

"Misaki you should tell her how you feel."

Yata looked away.

"I don't know what your talking about idiot."

"I know you like her. even before she started hanging out with us."

Yata turned red looking down.

"was it really that obvious?"

"well yeah. your always staring at her when she's not looking. and go out of your way more than usual for her. like how you volunteered us for this."

"yeah sorry about that. I guess I got carried away."

Saruhiko sighed.

"it's fine besides she's my friend too so I don't really mind. plus this makes things more interesting. but that aside you should tell her."

after he said that the door opened revealing you with a tray in your hand.

"hey guys sorry that took a while but I got us some food."

Saruhiko smirked.

"hey listen, I got to get going but you two have fun."

"really, you sure?"

you look at him curiously.

"yeah. I got some stuff to do. but Misaki said he'd like to stay a little longer, I'll see you guys tomorrow at school."

"alright if your sure. be safe on your way home."

he waved you off. once you turned your back he mouthed to Yata.

'nows you're chance.'

after he left closing the door behind him.

"huh. that's weird earlier he told me that he was free all day so he could come with us. I guess something came up."

"y-yeah probably."

you looked over to Yata who was looking away from you down at the floor.

"what's wrong?"

you sat down next to him.

"ummm well you see... it's not that anything's wrong it's just that just that it's just that I want to tell you something."

he looked you straight in the eyes determined and blushing.

"ummm ok."

"well you see... I ummm... I like you a lot Y/n!"

you blush at his words a bit surprised.

"huh?"

"I've liked you for a while. even before you started hanging out with me and Saru. but when you did it only made me happier. I got to be closer to you but now I... I wanted you to know how I feel. you don't have to answer me right away or anything yet I- I just wanted you to know."

a bright smile appears on your face you hug him tightly.

"y-yn?"

"I don't need to think about my answer-"

your words snap him out of his stuttering state. he waited for you to continue.

"it's because I feel the same way. I've liked you for a long time too but I'm not so good with people so I didn't know how to talk to you. also I was afraid that my family might scare you away."

you hug him a bit tighter at your last words. he relaxed taking you in his arms bringing you closer.

"no matter what background you're from. I would still love you."

"really?"

"really. besides..."

he pulled back from you staring into your eyes his hand cups your cheek.

"I think you're family is fun. tariffing. but definitely fun. besides even if they didn't like me I'd just have to steal you away on my skateboard."

he kissed your four head.

"awww isn't that cute~ don't you think Izumo, king."

"the first part I agree with. the second part of kidnapping I'd kill him for."

Izumo replies.

"looks like I win the bet. I'll collect later."

Mikoto smirked. you both were snapped out of your world when you heard Tatara's voice. you looked over to see your door was open standing in the doorway was Tatara, Mikoto and Izumo. Tatara was of course holding his camera recording everything.

"ahh! when did you get here? I remember closing that door! and what bet? and you!"

you pointed to Tatara.

"stop recording!"

"but it was such a beautiful moment. I couldn't let a memory like that slip away~ as for the door Izumo opened it."

you looked up at Izumo.

"we thought it be best to have parental supervision."

"Yata is a gentleman I'll have you know! and what was the bet about?"

"weather he liked you and if we would expect him as your boyfriend. I betted in favor and won."

"you guys are way to protective!"

Izumo frowned.

"all men are wolves. Y/n you can't let your guard down. besides we're your guardians it's our responsibility-"

you shut the door in their faces with Izumo mid sentence, locking it. you could hear complaints from the other side of the door which you ignored in favor of turning back to Yata.

"are you sure it's ok to do that?"

he looked over at the door.

"it's fine. they're just being them."

"umm alright."

after a couple moments the noise on the other side of the door stopped, you both hear footsteps walking away from your door. you looked back at him smiling.

"see."

he nodded.

"they really are a loving family."

"yeah."

you smile you sit down next to him leaning your head against his shoulder closing your eyes. he smiled leaning his head against yours you both settle into a comfortable silence enjoying each other's company the rest of the day.
