#murasakibaraxreader

Thank you so much to @vanilla-daydreams​ and @theuglycrybaby​ for doing this. I’m actually so excited to see the content that will be posted every day for the next week. So excited.

I’ll be posting pairings with x Reader since I don’t want to do any of the OTP ships dirty, I love them too much! 

Anyway, so yes, Day 1 Prompt: 

Chocolates/I don’t remember having these many hickeys, but I don’t mind. 

Here’s a MuraxReader rendition with both prompts included! Hope you guys like it :)

It starts off as a tradition at first. It’s how you two became acquaintances. Then friends. Now, lovers.

He’d stepped on your foot, and being the giant that he was, it hurt. And because he was who he was, he’d offered you one of his snacks as a consolation. It happened to be your favourite, and all was forgiven instantly.

It was only a coincidence that you both happened to attend the same school. How you found out also happened to be pure coincidence, although you’re not sure how you ever went without noticing him with his height and long, purple hair.

The day you both met, you’d accidentally splashed him with a bucket of dirty water from classroom clean-up duty. How were you supposed to know a giant was napping under your classroom window?

That bright head of purple hair was the first thing you recognised immediately, and you’d apologised before running to your bag for a similar snack to offer him. It had been the new special flavour that had only been released a couple of days ago, and he looked starry-eyed at it before devouring it.

After that, you’d taken care not to pour the bucket out of the window, and you’d stick your head out to greet him every now and then. He would bring snacks. You would too. You’d join him sometimes when you finished early, and the both of you would pool your snack pile in the middle and rate your favourites before sharing them.

You used to hate the ones with seaweed, but he’d managed to bring you over to the dark side. And ever since you found out that he had a weakness for candy and sweet pastries, you’d saved up to buy him extra when you found out when his birthday is.

His smiles were rare, but his eyes would light up whenever you appeared, with or without snacks. On the days you were empty-handed, he’d have a pile of snacks waiting to show you.

If you really think about it, you’re not sure when you both start being friends, let alone something more. It happened around Christmas when you’d both made plans to eat at the all-you-can-eat buffet. He’d been talking about the dessert menu for weeks.

There was ice cream after, and you’d been so full you hadn’t been able to finish yours. Of course, Atsushi was going to finish it for you. But he’d wanted to try the taste first.

And he had.

It had been a flurry of snow and ice, and you’d been so busy making sure your hair wasn’t blown into your ice-cream that you really should’ve noticed the large shadow leaning closer.

He’d swooped in, lips warm and tasting like caramel, that it didn’t register to you what he’d done until he’d offered you a taste of his ice-cream as consolation.

Since then, it’s become your thing. Whenever you had your disagreements and he said something that crossed the line, there would be a snack taped to your desk the next morning at school. Or your mailbox. Or your front door.

But it wasn’t limited to disagreements.

The morning you woke up with bruises lining your jaw, and texted him a picture of you wearing a conspicuous scarf that went up to your chin, you’d found your favourite mochi set taped to your desk.

It was an odd system you two had. It was all strangely quantifiable. But you loved it, and you loved the man that came with it.

Although he never said as much, Atsushi did too.

It was your thing, and no one else could even guess at what it meant if they were asked about the mysterious appearing snacks on both your desks some mornings.

So, this morning, when Atsushi finds a box of chocolates on his desk, his first reaction is confusion. And that confuses his classmates as much as what he does next.

He opens the box and counts the chocolates. Then he smiles, and eats one before stuffing another and another into his mouth.

When Tatsuya shows up, and thank God he does, because no one else dares question the purple giant about his daily snacks, he asks the question everyone has on their minds.

“Morning, Atsushi. Are those chocolates from your girlfriend?”

Melted chocolate is smeared on the corner of his lips as Atsushi nods.

Tatsuya smiles. “They look good.”

“They are,” the purple-haired boy answers. “There’s even a lot. But I’m not sure why. I don’t remember having these many hickeys. But I don’t mind.”

A hush settles in the class as those around them hear his reply.

Tatsuya’s eyes widen, and there's a faint flush to his cheeks when he answers, “Um, Atsushi. I’m not sure if this is relevant, but it’s Valentine’s day today.”

There’s a moment of pause.

(This was a failure, lmao)

A petite frame walked through the halls of Yosen High. Once in a while your eyes would shuffle back and forth between the hallways making sure there was no one there. Every since you transferred to Yosen high, you would always be teased of your height for some reason.

It's was like they never seen a short people, you unconsciously thought before lightly pouting.

Nevertheless, during your early days in Yosen, you meet the tallest teenager there was. Standing at the height of 6'10 and with a mop of purple hair. Initially you thought he was intimidating, but he was just a lazy gentle teddy bear.

Thinking about the purple giant made you smile, while a blushed started to bloom on your face. 

Once you entered the classroom, you walked towards you desk, making sure you avoided the group that normally teased you and sat down.

You looked around and noticed that Murasakibara wasn't in class yet.

'He must be getting some snacks at the vendor,' you thought, before giggling when you remember the first time they met, his right hand got stuck in the vendor and you ended up helping him. From there their friendship started to gradually grow.

"Oi chibi!" One of your teaser/bully called out.

You stiffened at the stupid nickname they gave you, before ignoring them. You refused to acknowledge them and let them get to you. 

You heard footsteps coming your way "Oi ju-," the voice froze.

"Neh what do you think you're doing to [____]-chin," a low dangerous voice broke in. A large shadow loomed over [____] small body.  This person was bothering [____] -chin, he had to interfere.

You looked up and saw Murasakibara blocking you from one of your teaser, while holding a variety of bags of sweets in his arm.

"N-nothing! S-sorry Murasakibara-san!" the person stuttered out, not wanting to face the wrath of the purple giant.

All Murasakibara did was glare at the person, before they took off back to their group.

Murasakibara then sat next to the seat beside you, he patted your head and gave you a [flavor] pocky, your favorite. Ever since you bought him snacks frequently, he started sharing snacks witch you, and stated that he 'only shared snack with [____] -chin.'

"There [____]-chin they won't bother you anymore," he stated as a stuck a couple of strawberry pocky in his mouth.

You smiled brightly at Murasakibara. "Thank you Mura-kun!"
