Straight To The Heart: Darkness X Male Reader

[Chapter 3] Toad-ally Not Cool!

[Outside the stables some of the horses are munching on the grass, inside the stables however is a different story, Kazuma stands and watches a desperate you trying to pry Aqua off of you. She's got her arms and even legs wrapped around you as she's fast asleep.]

(Y/N): "You gonna sit there and watch or are you gonna help me out!" [You loudly whisper to him.]

[He manages to get you out as he then goes and sulks in the corner.]

Kazuma: "Life in another world.. ain't as cool as I thought.."

(Y/N): "It's not that bad man, hell, it beats where I'm from at least. But yeah the work does suck."

[He looks at you, tears in his eyes.]

Kazuma: "We barely get by and you two are high status adventures! A stable's the only place we can afford to sleep!"

[You look over to the side and wince. Yeah, this did suck, you'd much rather sleep in your hard as rock mattress rather then a damn stable. Kazuma looks down and goes into a sitting fetal position.]

Kazuma: "Adventurers aren't bad asses at all.. they're just a bunch of day laboring nobodies..."

(Y/N): "Hey, we're only just beginning, we're not gonna start going on all of these bad ass quests and getting tons of loot right away, we need to get our footing and then we can go out and do crazy ass stuff like that. Besides, you don't wanna just run out there and die right away because you were too weak do you?"

[Kazuma looks at you and then to the floor. Behind you you can hear Aqua stretching.]

Aqua: "Ah.. good morning."

[You turn and face her, annoyed.]

(Y/N): "Aqua.. it's almost noon."

Kazuma: "Yeah! I thought we were doing a kill quest today!"

Aqua: "Oh right..!" [She sits up and scratches the back of her head.] "Since we weren't going into work today I thought I could sleep in for once!"

Kazuma: *To Self* "So much for yesterday's 'You can count on me' bs."

(Y/N): "Also didn't you say that this world was supposed to be under attack by the Devil King? Not that I'm really complaining."

Aqua: "Well of course, this town's just the furthest from the Devil Kings castle. He wouldn't go out of his way just to attack a place that has nothing but amateur adventurers in it!"

(Y/N): "Yeah fair."

[She stands up and wraps an arm around you.]

Aqua: "Now that we're all awake, lets go on that kill quest!"

[She points to Kazuma.]

Aqua: "And don't worry, if things go wrong, you can always count on me and (Y/N)!~"

Kazuma: "Yeah that doesn't really make me feel that much better about it." [But he just shrugs.] "Ah well, we've got (Y/N), so we'll be fine."

(Y/N): "You're really banking on me carrying you through this huh.."

[You say giving him a defeated look as he just looks at you and shrugs.]

Kazuma: "Pretty much.."
