Alchemic Feelings - Reisalin Stout X (Lazy) Male Reader

-No One's P.O.V-

In the small, idyllic town of Kurken Island, the sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm, golden hue across the landscape. The salty sea breeze rustled through the trees, and the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore created a peaceful symphony. This serene environment was home to (Y/N) (L/N), a 17-year-old alchemist who, despite his lazy demeanor, was known for his diligence in alchemy and his ability to face monsters head-on when necessary.

(Y/N) stood at a short height of just over 5'2" and weighed a bit over 60 kg. His messy hair and often disheveled appearance belied the meticulous care he took in his alchemical work and chores. Despite being introverted and reserved, he had a close-knit group of friends he had known since childhood: Reisalin "Ryza" Stout, Tao Mongarten, and Lent Marslink.

One lazy afternoon, (Y/N) was lounging in his small workshop, surrounded by various alchemical ingredients and tools. The room was cluttered yet somehow organized in a way only he understood. He had been experimenting with a new potion when the door burst open, and Ryza, with her characteristic energy, stormed in.

Ryza: "(Y/N)! You won't believe what I found today!"

(Y/N) glanced up from his work, a slight smirk playing on his lips. Despite his lazy nature, Ryza's enthusiasm was infectious.

(Y/N): "Another crazy idea, Ryza? What is it this time?"

Ryza: "No, seriously! This is huge! I found an old map in the library. It shows a hidden cave somewhere on the island. We have to check it out!"

Tao and Lent, who had been following Ryza, finally caught up and entered the workshop. Tao adjusted his glasses, already intrigued by the mention of the map.

Tao: "It's not just any map, (Y/N). It's ancient. If it leads to something important, we could find incredible alchemical resources or even artifacts."

Lent: "And who knows what kind of monsters we'll encounter? It'll be a great challenge."

(Y/N) stretched, his joints popping audibly. Despite his laziness, the idea of a new adventure was too tempting to resist. He carefully placed his tools aside and stood up.

(Y/N): "Alright, alright. You convinced me. But don't blame me if we end up in over our heads. Let's gear up and head out."

The group spent the next hour preparing for their journey. (Y/N) meticulously packed his alchemy kit, ensuring he had all the necessary ingredients and tools for any situation they might encounter. Ryza, Tao, and Lent gathered their weapons and supplies, each preparing in their own way.

As they set off towards the hidden cave marked on the map, the sun dipped below the horizon, and the sky turned a deep shade of purple. The path was rugged, winding through dense forests and rocky terrain. Despite his usual laziness, (Y/N) moved with surprising agility and determination, keeping pace with his friends.

Ryza: "So, (Y/N), how's your latest alchemical project coming along? Anything exciting?"

(Y/N) shrugged, a faint smile on his lips.

(Y/N): "Just the usual. Trying out new combinations, seeing what works. Managed to create a potion that could temporarily boost our strength. Figured it might come in handy."

Tao: "That's impressive. We could definitely use that if we run into any tough monsters."

Lent: "Yeah, and speaking of monsters, I heard there's a particularly nasty one near the cave. Should be a good test of our skills."

The group continued to banter as they made their way through the forest, the bond between them evident in their easy camaraderie. Despite their differences, they had grown up together, facing countless challenges and adventures.

As they approached the location marked on the map, the entrance to the hidden cave came into view. It was obscured by thick vines and overgrowth, almost as if nature itself was trying to hide it. Ryza, ever the fearless leader, stepped forward and began to clear the entrance.

Ryza: "Here it is, guys. The start of another adventure. Ready?"

(Y/N) rolled his eyes but couldn't hide his excitement.

(Y/N): "Let's get this over with. I'm already looking forward to the nap I'll take when we get back."

With a chuckle, the group entered the cave, their torches casting flickering shadows on the walls. The air was cool and damp, and the sound of dripping water echoed around them. As they ventured deeper, the atmosphere grew more foreboding, but the friends pressed on, driven by curiosity and the thrill of discovery.

After navigating a series of winding passages, they entered a vast chamber. The walls were adorned with ancient carvings and symbols, and in the center of the room stood a pedestal with a glowing artifact resting on it. The light from the artifact illuminated the room, casting an eerie glow.

Tao: "This is incredible. These carvings... they tell the story of an ancient alchemist who lived here long ago. This artifact must be the source of his power."

Lent: "And look at the craftsmanship. This thing must be worth a fortune."

Ryza: "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need to figure out what it does first."

(Y/N) stepped forward, examining the artifact closely. His fingers traced the intricate designs, his mind racing with possibilities.

(Y/N): "It's definitely powerful. I can feel the energy radiating from it. But we need to be careful. Something this strong could be dangerous."

As they deliberated, a low growl echoed through the chamber. The friends turned to see a massive monster emerging from the shadows, its eyes glowing with malice. The creature was unlike anything they had encountered before, its body covered in dark, shimmering scales.

Lent: "Looks like we've got company. Time to put your new potion to the test, (Y/N).

(Y/N) nodded, quickly pulling out the strength-boosting potion he had prepared. He handed it to his friends, and they each took a swig, feeling the surge of power coursing through their veins.

Ryza: "Alright, let's do this. Together."

The battle was intense, each friend utilizing their unique skills to fight the monster. Ryza's swift attacks, Tao's strategic spells, Lent's brute strength, and (Y/N)'s alchemical prowess combined to form a formidable team. Despite their differences, they fought as one, their bond unbreakable.

As the final blow was struck, the monster let out a deafening roar before collapsing to the ground. The chamber fell silent, save for the heavy breathing of the friends.

Ryza: "We did it. That was incredible."

Tao: "And look, the artifact... it's reacting to something."

(Y/N) approached the artifact once more, feeling its energy resonating with his own. He carefully lifted it from the pedestal, the glow intensifying.

(Y/N): "I think this is just the beginning. There's so much more to discover."

With the artifact in hand and their spirits high, the friends made their way out of the cave, ready to face whatever new adventures awaited them. Despite his lazy nature, (Y/N) couldn't deny the thrill of the unknown and the excitement of exploring the mysteries of alchemy with his closest friends by his side.

As the group emerged from the cave, the artifact's glow dimmed slightly, and the cool evening air greeted them. Ryza found herself walking behind (Y/N), her eyes glued to his back. There was something about the way he had taken charge, his unassuming confidence and quiet strength, that stirred feelings within her she had struggled to suppress for years. She bit her lip, lost in thought, while the boys, Tao and Lent, exchanged knowing glances.

Tao: whispering to Lent "Look at her, she's totally smitten."

Lent: grinning "Yeah, and she thinks we don't notice. Maybe it's time we gave her a little push."

Ryza was oblivious to their whispers, her mind racing with the same questions she had asked herself countless times. How should she tell (Y/N) how she felt? What if he didn't feel the same way? The thought was terrifying, but the idea of never saying anything was even worse.

As they reached the clearing where they had left their supplies, (Y/N) turned to face his friends, a rare, genuine smile on his face.

(Y/N): "We did good today, guys. I couldn't have asked for better companions."

Ryza's heart skipped a beat at his words, but she quickly looked away, hoping to hide the blush creeping up her cheeks. Tao and Lent, however, were not about to let the moment pass.

Tao: "You know, (Y/N), I think there's something—or someone—that made today extra special."

(Y/N) raised an eyebrow, not entirely sure where Tao was going with this.

(Y/N): "Oh? And what would that be?"

Lent: "Or should we say, someone. Isn't that right, Ryza?"

Ryza's eyes widened in panic, and she shot the boys a look that clearly said, "Don't you dare." But it was too late. The cat was out of the bag.

(Y/N) turned to Ryza, curiosity evident in his gaze.

(Y/N): "What are they talking about, Ryza?"

Ryza took a deep breath, her mind racing. This was it. There was no backing out now. She could feel Tao and Lent's supportive gazes, urging her on.

Ryza: "Well, (Y/N)... There's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time. And I guess now's as good a time as any."

(Y/N) nodded, his expression softening. He took a step closer, his eyes never leaving hers.

(Y/N): "Go on, Ryza. You can tell me anything."

Ryza's heart pounded in her chest. She had rehearsed this moment in her head countless times, but now that it was here, words seemed to fail her. She took another deep breath, gathering her courage.

Ryza: "We've been friends for so long, (Y/N). We've shared so many adventures, so many memories. And through it all, I've come to realize that... I have feelings for you. Deep feelings. I've had a crush on you for as long as I can remember. I just didn't know how to tell you. I was afraid it might change things between us."

A stunned silence fell over the group. (Y/N) looked at Ryza, his expression unreadable. The seconds felt like hours, and Ryza feared the worst. But then, (Y/N) took her hands in his, his touch gentle and reassuring.

(Y/N): "Ryza, I... I don't know what to say. I'm not great with feelings or words, but... I've always felt something special between us, too. I just never realized it for what it was. I'm not perfect, and I can be pretty dense sometimes, but... I'm willing to give this a shot if you are."

Ryza's eyes welled up with tears, but she smiled brightly, her heart swelling with joy.

Ryza: "Really? You mean it?"

(Y/N) nodded, a small smile playing on his lips.

(Y/N): "Yeah, Ryza. I mean it."

Tao and Lent couldn't contain their excitement any longer. They whooped and cheered, breaking the tension with their infectious enthusiasm.

Tao: "About time, you two! We've been waiting for this moment forever!"

Lent: "Yeah! It's like watching one of those romance novels Tao is always reading!"

Ryza laughed through her tears, her heart lighter than it had ever felt before. She looked at (Y/N), her eyes shining with happiness.

Ryza: "Thank you, (Y/N). For everything."

(Y/N) squeezed her hands, his smile widening.

(Y/N): "No, Ryza. Thank you. For being you."

As the group made their way back to the village, the air was filled with laughter and teasing, their bond stronger than ever. And for (Y/N) and Ryza, it was the start of a new chapter in their adventure—a chapter filled with love, hope, and countless more memories to come.

-And now, we brought to you another extra chapter! "Atelier Strolling!"

The sun was high in the sky, casting dappled shadows through the leaves of a large tree under which Ryza and her friends had decided to take a break. They had been on a long quest, and a moment of rest was more than welcome. The cool shade was a relief from the heat, and the gentle rustling of leaves created a peaceful ambiance.

Ryza stretched out comfortably on the grass, glancing at her friends with a smile. Tao was reading a book, his glasses slipping down his nose, while Lent lay on his back, staring up at the sky, lost in thought. (Y/N) leaned against the tree trunk, his eyes half-closed, clearly enjoying the respite.

Ryza: "(Y/N), you look uncomfortable. Why don't you lay down properly?"

(Y/N) shook his head, a faint blush creeping up his cheeks.

(Y/N): "I'm fine here, Ryza. The tree is just... perfect."

Ryza giggled, noticing his slight embarrassment. She patted her lap invitingly.

Ryza: "Come on, (Y/N). Why don't you use my lap as a pillow? It's way more comfortable than that rough tree."

(Y/N)'s blush deepened. The thought of laying his head on Ryza's lap was both appealing and nerve-wracking. He couldn't help but notice her curvy, slim frame and the inviting softness of her thighs.

(Y/N): "I... I'm okay, really."

Lent, overhearing the conversation, couldn't resist joining in.

Lent: "Oh, come on, (Y/N). Ryza's offering, and you know you'd like it. Just go for it, man."

Tao looked up from his book, adding his two cents with a mischievous grin.

Tao: "Yeah, (Y/N). You'd be crazy to turn down such a comfy offer."

Ryza leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with playful determination.

Ryza: "Please, (Y/N)? I promise you'll like it. And it's just for a little while."

(Y/N) sighed, feeling the pressure from his friends and the gentle insistence in Ryza's eyes. With a resigned nod, he slowly moved from the tree and awkwardly lay down, resting his head on Ryza's lap. The instant his head settled, he was struck by the softness and warmth, far more comfortable than he had anticipated.

(Y/N): "Okay, this... this isn't so bad."

Ryza beamed, her fingers gently running through his hair.

Ryza: "See? I told you. Just relax and enjoy."

(Y/N) closed his eyes, feeling the tension melt away under Ryza's soothing touch. Tao and Lent exchanged knowing smirks, pleased to see their friends finally relaxing.

Lent: "Looks like (Y/N)'s found his new favorite pillow."

Tao: "It's about time. We've been telling him to loosen up for ages."

Ryza giggled, her cheeks tinged with a light blush. She continued to gently stroke (Y/N)'s hair, feeling a warm contentment herself.

Ryza: "You guys are terrible, you know that?"

Lent: "Hey, we're just happy to see (Y/N) finally taking a proper break."

(Y/N) muttered, his eyes still closed but a small smile on his lips.

(Y/N): "Alright, alright. You guys win. This is nice."

The group laughed together, the camaraderie and lighthearted teasing making their break all the more enjoyable. Under the shade of the large tree, they found a moment of peace and simple joy, a brief respite from their adventures and battles. And for (Y/N), it was a chance to let go of his usual reservations and embrace the comfort and warmth of Ryza's presence, even if just for a little while.

...

(A/N: Alright, that...that's about it. See ya')
