❝Arcade: Yamagishi Kazushi x Fem! Reader❞

Written by Kiyoko (Unlxcky_gxddess)

You looked in the mirror one last time before hearing a knock on your door. The sound was subtle and in a small pattern that you and your boyfriend had made. A bright smile appeared upon your face as you hurried to the front door. " Yamagishi! " You hugged the boy as soon as you opened the door causing him to let out a small gasp then a chuckle.

" We just saw eachother at school. " He stated smiling as he looked up at you. " That doesnt mean I can't miss you. " You gave a playful pout as you officially walked out of the house. Closing the door behind you as you did so.

Yamagishi had planned an arcade date for the two of you. To which you were obviously down for, you'd never pass up the opportunity to completely demolish someone in games. You were the queen of games to Takemichi's little group of friends and it was a title you took happily.

You and Yamagishi have a little rivalry when it comes to racing games. He never understood how you'd manage to beat him each time. The two of you walked in silence until he decided to speak, " So, how's your mom doing? I heard she got sick..." You bit the inside of your cheek at the mention of your mother. It was something that had plagued your mind for days on days. It was something that you hated taking about yet needed to all at once.

" Yeah, she's in the hospital right now but i'm sure she'll get better." You tried to always stay optimistic whenever you mentioned her. As if to manifest a cure that didn't exist. Your mother was going to die, that was inevitable but you could be hopeful while it lasted.

The arcade lights could be seen up ahead and you perked up at this. " Look Yama we're almost there! " You grabbed the males hand running towards the arcade looking back at him for a brief second giving an eye blinding smile. One so contagious that the male couldn't stop the smile that found it's way onto his own features.

Upon getting to the entrance of the arcade the two of you stopped to take a breather. You didn't think it through when you decided to run. After calming down the two of you walked into the brightly lit building. The different color LED lights illuminating the formerly dark room and giving it life; A sight that you loved seeing whenever you arrived.

Looking around you spotted air hockey and immediately dragged the brown haired male over to it. " Let's play! It's one of the only games you've ever got close to beating me in " You teased sticking your tongue out with a wink.

Yamagishi blushed looking away, " Th-That's not true! I've beat you in scrabble." You sweatdropped listening to him. " Sir that doesn't count as an arcade game." You laughed before letting go of his hand and walking over to the other side of the hockey table.

" You ready? " You asked making sure before you put the quarters in. The male nodded as he got ready to play, " Yeah ready when you are. " He answered n response and you grinned as you put the two quarters in the slot. The board lit up and the colors started changing colors, ranging from blue and pink to purple and green.

You held a grin on her face as the air began to cause the hockey board to hum. The puck started on Yamagishi's side and with that the game started

The female gave a smug giggle as she walked with her hands behind her head. " Just another victory for me. " Yamagishi seemed, almost deflated.

Their arcade date lasted a few hours and now they were heading to get something to eat. " You know, I almost won today! I came in second place in racing and I would have won air hockey too! "

The girl snickered as she playfully rolled her eyes. " Blah Blah, yeah yeah. All I'm hearing is excuses." She absolutely loved picking on him like this. Teasing him and watching him go all red has become a hobby at this point.

She smiled and the two walked in silence, a comfortable one. They walked past a food stall and the girls face lit up. " Yama! Yama! Can we get crepes? We can eat them on the grass together! " The girl spoke her face beaming and brightening as she spoke.

Yamagishi blushed finding the girls excitement cute. It was one of the many things he admired about her.

The two of you sat on the grass eating and chatting occasionally. Yamagishi hadn't been paying attention to the words leaving your mouth. He was only paying attention to you.

He felt butterflies in his stomach whenever he was around you. Maybe it was the way your hair blew in the wind, or maybe it was the way your eyes would light up whenever you got excited.

The slight pitch changes when you said his name, the way you'd nibble on your bottom lip when thinking or fiddle with your fingers when nervous. Maybe it was the way all your flaws were perfections to him, or the way all his imperfections were perfection to you.

The way you were so fearless and taught him things he never thought he'd ever need to know. The way you defended others before yourself. The way you weren't scared to speak your mind and never held your tongue for anyone.

Maybe it was the way you could be part of a gang and still roam around as if everything was alright. It was almost like he was in a dream and this moment was too perfect.

A yawn left Yamagishi's mouth as he stretched. He was confused, wasn't he just with Y/N?

Nothing was processing right and he couldn't understand why his room was so bright? Or why there were doctors rushing into his bed roo-

That's when it hit him, he'd been in a coma. For how long, he didn't have a clue. His breathing got unsteady at the constant swarming and multiple voices around him.

" Can you hear me?" One of the doctors asked and Yamagishi nodded in response. " Do you know how long you've been out?" Yamagishi shook his head.

" It's been two years." And that's when it all hit the male at once.
