Murasakibara Atsushi x Reader

A/N: If you're not as tall as stated in the story, please bare with it We all know that Atsu-chin likes tall girls, but not as tall as him.[1] And the plot took place two months before the Winter Cup.

*...* - internal dialogues

"May I ask again why I'm going to bake lots of pastries for the team, Masako-nee?"

"As you said, it's for the team, (Name). Besides, it's been a long time since the last time I had a taste of your baked goodies."

"I know athletes eat a lot, but why do I have this feeling that I'm going to make three times the amount needed?"

"Don't play innocent on me now, (Name). Both of us know the reason why you'll make that many. Considering that you admire him and all."

You look indifferently look at your cousin as a small tint dusts your cheeks. You know you're good at hiding your feelings. But on circumstances such as how your cousin, Masako Araki, knows your secret admiration on Yosen High's purple-haired, sweet-loving ace, you'll never know.

"Fine, whatever." You nonchalantly agreed. "As if I have a choice anyway."

"Come on, don't be so sour. It's not that bad." She assured you, giving you a big sister smile.

You sighed again, returning her smile. "Yeah, I guess so. I'll go to the gym later after practice to give out the goods to the boys."

Since there are no practices for (sports club), you bid your cousin good luck and immediately went home to make the pastries for the whole basketball team.

You're known in Yosen High not just as Masako Araki, the school's basketball team's coach's cousin, but for you athleticism, intelligence, grace, authority, and height.

Standing 5'11", it's no wonder many are intimidated at you, and at the same time admire you. Not one female student at Yosen stands taller than you (A/N: let's assume that you're the tallest female student at Yosen), and it makes all male students not dare to make a move on you. Thus making the whole student buddy assume that not one male will ever have the guts in making you his. Not even the school's basketball heartthrob Himuro Tatsuya.

But no one ever notices that you actually have a soft side, especially towards Yosen's tallest male student and the school's basketball ace... and your passion for cooking and baking.

You are now walking back to school while carrying almost 50 batches of pastries. This is the first time that you'll be giving snacks to your cousin's team, and this makes you a little nervous.

"Good thing we actually have that big oven at home. It will be impossible for me to make this many." You sighed, as you now see the school at the distance.

Before entering the basketball gym, you shifted the bags filled with goodies comfortably in your hands while wondering. "Will he like the pastries that I made for them?"

And as if reading your mind, your cousin appeared on the gym's door. "Yes, he'll definitely love your pastries (Name). Now come in and don't be shy." As she opened the door for you and entered, Fukui Kensuke, the team's vice captain notices you.

"(Name)-chan! I'm sorry for the coach made you bake all these for us." He whispered to you. "You know how she is when she bosses around."

You lightly laughed at him. "It's alright senpai. I'm actually used to my cousin's personality." You gave him a friendly smile.

You're about to put the bags down when you felt a shadow loom on both of you. "Are? (Name)-chin's here? And what are you carrying with you?" a familiar lazy voice said as long hands took all the goods from you.

*Chotto...how did he know my name!?* You mentally screamed as you try your best to hide the blush appearing on your cheeks.

"Matte, Murasakibara. Those snacks are for later!" Okamura Kenichi scolded.

"And say thank you to (Last name)-san for she made an effort to make those for us, aru!" added Liu Wei, as both exclaimed to the purple-headed giant.

"Oh it's okay, really." You shyly said, making sure that no one heard your shy voice as you watch Murasakibara nonchalantly ignore his teammates and dived into the bags full of pastries.

"Thank you so much for making the effort of making that many pastries, (Name)-chan." You heard Yosen's other ace, Himuro Tatsuya, said to you. "I also apologize for Atsushi's behavior, we all know he has a bottomless pit of a stomach when it comes to sweets."

"Oh? (Name)-chin made all this for me?" He turned his lazy gaze at you with a look of pure wonder. "It's for the whole team!" Everyone exclaimed as he nonchalantly took a bite at one of the cookies in the bag.

"Woah! This is good (Name)-chin!" Pure joy now evident in his face. "You can also bake cakes and pies right?"

"Hai. I can bake lots of cakes and pastries, Murasakibara-kun" You said, with a blush now evident on your cheeks.

The whole team stopping their attempt to halt Murasakibara in diving further into the bag as they looked at you in pure shock, all having one thing in their heads;
*Murasakibara made the (Last name) (Name) blush?!*

"Honto? Then will you bake more of those for me next time (Name)-chin? Please?" He said, with a pout evident in his now child-like expression.

You couldn't help but smile at him. "Of course Murasakibara-kun. I'll bake lots for you."

Murasakibara's next move made your face turn as red as a tomato; he gave you a sweet peck on the lips, still while holding the bag of goodies.

He then gave you a charming smile. "Hmm? You're even sweeter than your pastries (Name)-chin" You're now even redder than a tomato.

"How can Murasakibara just simply kiss (Name)-san like that?! Let alone making her blush like that!" Both of you turn towards the rest of the team.

Murasakibara then gave them a lazy, but mischievous grin while you hide your blushing face behind him.

"How? Simple. It's as easy as pie."
