Yoshida x Female Reader Requested by ladyreze
"Ink."
With crossed fingers, tentacles shot out and produced a black smokescreen, blocking your view. "Huh? Yoshida!" You jumped when he popped in front of you, nearly swatting him with your notebook. "Boo. I scared ya," he chuckled and blew in your face. You can smell the mint from the gum he's been chewing. You held out your hand and he looked down at your empty palm. "What...?" He raised a brow before smiling and taking your hand in his, flipping your hand around to place a wet kiss on it. "If you wanted to be my princess, you should have just said so."
"Ew! Why'd you lick your lips before doing that?!" You pulled your hand away and wiped it against your pants/skirt. He laughed and pulled your cheek. "I needed that extra saliva to irritate you," he replied. You swat his hand off your cheek and held your hand out again. Before you can say anything, he leaned down to prop his head onto your palm. "You have a weird way of asking for things, weirdo," he murmured. That's because you won't let me talk.
You squeezed his face. His smile turned into a frown as you squeezed harder. He pulled away and rubbed his jaw while staring down at your hand.
"Gum," you finally said. "I want gum."
"Gum? I don't have any."
"Liar. I smell it in your breath and I saw you take one out this morning before school."
He sighed in defeat and pulled a pack of gum out of his pocket, fishing one out and holding it out to you reluctantly. Yes, he's fully aware of how dangerous it is to hold out a pack of gum in school. You reach for the gum, only for Yoshida to move it away. "Ah-ah-ah, say the magic word," he said with a playful grin. This mf-
"I'll stomp on your glow stick."
"...Okay." His smile dropped and he placed the gum in your hand, grumbling as he struggled to put it back in his pocket. "I hate these pants. I always need two hands to open a pocket," he mumbled. "See you in class, Yoshida," you say as you pat his back and begin walking to class. "Wait." He turned to you. "Wait, wait, wait. It's almost in my pocket."
You turn your head and grin. Oh. Oh no. "Y/N, think about it-" "He has gum!" You point to him and everyone passing by turned their heads to look at your best friend. People began walking over, saying that they want gum too. "Y/N! You owe me!" You heard him shout as you walked to class.
Later in class, Yoshida rested his head on his desk while watching you work. "Man, I have no more gum because of you," he said with a sour face. "You have a bunch of money because of your job as a devil hunter. You could just buy a new one," you reminded him. "Yeah, but I spent most of it on you because I lost the bet."
You sigh and continue working. Why can't he abandon his devil hunter job and continue life as a high school student and as your best friend? It's a dangerous job.
After school, you found Yoshida waiting for you outside to walk home together. "Hey, dummy," he greeted you with a friendly wave. You smiled and ran over to him. "Let's grab something to eat," you announced, only for him to sigh and shake his head. "No, I'm not spending all my money on you." You sigh in return and sag your whole body after wrapped your arm around his waist. He continued to walk, dragging you along with him. "Oh, I see a lovely stray," he hummed. You let go of him and look up hopefully — what? There's no cat- "Ahhh!!" Yoshida lifted you and settled you underneath his arm. "This is a kidnapping. Y/N is no longer free." He jogged home with you screaming.

"Home sweet home," Yoshida chuckled and set you down at your front doorsteps, brushing you off and attempting to tame your disheveled hair. You glare at him and he gave you an innocent smile as if he didn't "kidnap" you in public and start running.
"Okay, see you later, Y/N. I have another mission tomorrow." He turned around and began to walk home. A thousand thoughts popped into your head and without thinking, you rushed to him and grabbed his arm. He turned around slightly to look at you. "Hm? You don't want me to leave? Aw, how adorable,~" he teased. When he saw that you looked worried and upset, his smile faltered and he turned his whole body to face you. "What's wrong?" You bit your lip, trying to find the right words. "I..." You started, looking into his eyes. "I'm scared. I'm afraid that you're going to get hurt or worse..! Can't you just...quit this job? I feel so anxious when you have to go and I don't know if I can take any more of this."
He stayed silent, waiting for you to say more. And you did have more.
"At least tell me you're safe when you're out so I can stop feeling this dread. What if you die? I hate to think about that..." Tears are brimming in your eyes now. Silently, he placed a hand on your cheek and wiped a tear away with his thumb, still keeping his hand on your cheek, caressing it gently. "I care about you so much," you admitted and placed your hand on his.
"I didn't realize how much my job scared you. I'm sorry. I'll keep in contact with you 24/7. And don't worry, there's no way I'll die. I'm too strong for that," he replied softly. "Honestly, hearing you say how much you care about me is flattering." "Only for you," you added, wiping away a final tear with a small smile.
Surprised, he nearly choked on his words and maybe almost sent a few flirtatious remarks. He regained his composure and grinned slyly, happy to see that you're alright. "Oh? How much?" "This much." You cupped his face and pressed your lips lightly against his, him returning the kiss with a newfound gentleness in his touch. You both slowly pulled away and smiled at each other.
"I love you that much, too," he replied.
