College Makoto x Reader Pt 8

College Makoto x Reader Pt 8

‘So it’s official?’ Your roommate asks you the second you make it back to your dorm.

‘Huh? What are you talking about?’ You ask, feigning ignorance.

‘Come on! You know exactly what I’m talking about. You just spent another night over at your loverboy’s house. And it's only been a week! It must be official at this point.’ She exclaims, causing you to blush at her newfound nickname for him.

‘Alright fine! We made it official yesterday. But don’t start gossiping about it everywhere.’ You say giving a stern glare, causing her to throw her hands up in defeat.

‘I swear you never let me have any fun!’ She pouts as she goes back to doing her makeup in the mirror as she had been previously doing. ‘So you’re still coming with me tonight, even though you’re taken?’

‘I promised I would right?’ You say, turning to rummage through your closet to find something suitable to wear.

‘Yeah yeah, I know. You always keep your promises. It’s a shame though, there’s going to be a ton of hot guys there tonight. More for me I guess.’ She says with a giggle.

You just scoff in response as you pull out various articles of clothing from your closet and hold them up to your body before finally settling on a flowy blue dress that you always got complemented on. You quickly slide it on and make your way over to the mirror, gently pushing your roommate over so that you could have some room too, earning a grumble from her. You neatly arrange your hair in your favorite hairstyle that perfectly frames your face and apply a little make up, just enough to look nice but not overdone. You finish up quickly and now all that’s left to do is wait for your roommate to finish. She ends up taking forever as she insists upon looking her “absolute best” which consist of lots of sequins and makeup so that she can hopefully get a date tonight.

Together, the two of you walk to the sorority house where the party was being held, and even a block away you can hear the music blaring. As you get closer, you see tons of people everywhere. On the lawn, on the porch and in the house, there were hundreds of people hanging around, some talking, some dancing, and some clearly drunk already. You actually hated this kind of party, but your roommate had begged you to come and you couldn’t seem to refuse her. Currently, she had a giddy smile on her face and she seemed overly excited as she drags you into the crowd of people in order to get a drink and find someone to dance with. You opt for a soda and to hang out in a semi-quiet corner as you watch her begin to dance with various people. It felt almost as if you were her parent there to supervise her, but you don’t complain because she seems to be having a good time.

As the night continues to wear on, you chat idly with other people who end up in the corner next to you, who had all been forced into coming just like you. Hours pass and you soon get bored, and you notice that people are starting to get pretty drunk. Although your roommate is not one of those people, you want to leave before something inevitably ends up happening. You begin to wade through the crowd of people dancing, moving in the direction you had last seen your roommate in the hopes of snagging her before the song changed when suddenly someone grabs you by the waist, pulling you into chest and forces you to dance along with their sloppy movements as you struggle to escape their strong arms.

‘Hey there sweetie. I’ve been watching you aaaaalllll night and I just couldn’t wait anymore to have a dance with you.’ A chilling voice breaths into your ear, the words slurring slightly indicating that your captor was at least mildly intoxicated.

‘Let go of me!’ You demand sharply, trying and failing to force your way out of their arms as you frantically try to get the attention of someone around you, but to no avail.

‘I don’t think so darling. You’re mine now.’ The voice growls, sending chills down your spine.

‘She said let her go. I suggest you do it.’ A familiar voice comes to your rescue, followed by a new strong pair of arms pulling the unwanted male off of you and shoving him away.

‘H-hey! Let me go!’ You hear your attacker say and you turn to see Makoto holding a sleazy looking guy up by his collar and your roommate standing nervously off to the side as people hurriedly moved out of the way.

‘Don’t you ever mess with a girl again. Ever. And especially not her because she’s already taken.’ He says with a dangerous tone before dropping the guy onto the floor, who then scrambles away as fast as he can.  Makoto then takes your hand gently and leads you out into the night air where it is quieter before turning to you, his gaze softening.

‘Hey, are you alright?’ He asks, concern in his voice

‘Yeah, I’m good. Just shaken up. Thanks for that, but why are you here?’ You ask with slight confusion

‘Your roommate texted me and said you might be in trouble so I came right away.’ He says motioning to her standing off to the side.

‘I saw that guy eyeing you for like the last hour and he seemed really creepy and the first person I thought of to text was Makoto.’ She explains, concern on her face ‘I am so sorry for dragging you to this party.’

‘No really, it’s okay. It’s not a big deal, I’ll be alright. Especially when I have you around to protect me.’ You say, quickly pulling Makoto in for a hug which causes him to tense up and blush at your sudden affection. You stay like that for a moment before you hear an awkward cough from your roommate, signaling it was time to stop, causing you to awkwardly pull apart.

‘Well you two can have our room tonight (y/n), what is this, two times in a row? I was planning to stay at a friend’s house anyways’ She says with a wink that you’re not sure is meant for you or about her friend.

‘Oo-okay, don’t do anything stupid and text me!’ You call after her as she dashes off to find her friend, leaving you and Makoto alone. ‘Well, thanks again for that, I owe you.’ You say with a sigh.

‘There’s really no need to thank me, but if you really want to pay me back, you could let me stay at your place tonight like your roommate suggested. I really didn’t want to leave you alone anyways.’ He says, rubbing the back of his neck as he tries to explain that he wants to spend the night with you again. He really wants to spend every night with you so that he can always wake up with you I his arms, but he doesn’t say that.

‘That’s easy enough pay back.’ You say giggling slightly at his adorable awkwardness.

 ‘Alright, it’s this way.’ You say, turning and walking in the direction of your dorm, leaving Makoto slightly stunned as he watches you walk away.

‘You coming?’ You ask, looking over your shoulder to see Makoto’s face which causes you to pause. His expression is a mixture of admiration, awe and something you could classify as…. Love? It was the expression that he had always had when you walked away but you hadn’t ever seen it until just now, and seeing it left a warm feeling in your stomach.

‘Oh yeah, of course.’ He responds, quickly moving to catch up to you, gently grabbing your hand to lace his fingers with yours.

This time he didn’t have to watch you leave alone because he was leaving with you.
