One picture, One thousand words [Saiki Kusuo x F!reader]

↪[Y/N], The babysitter

❝When you had to bid adieu,
Said you'd never love anew.
I wondered if I could hold it,
And fall in love with it too.❞
-Hidden In The Sand, Tally Hall

How come this suspicious looking book had a picture of an entity that you and only you had seen? Was the author also a medium psychic? You needed answers, and the only way is to buy the book, the same one Saiki said not to.

"Saiki...I'm gonna buy this book." His eyes widen, then he lets out a heavy sigh Right after I told you not to? good grief...
You hold his hand in a desperate manner, looked at him straight in the eye and begged him. "Please, Saiki. I need this book, I think it contains the answers to questions i've had my entire life"

His eyes darted to the hands that were holding his tightly, he had forgotten to put his gloves back on and just saw your life flash before his eyes, He felt it too. The grief, the sorrow, the confusion. It tugged the strings of his heart, somehow.

with a heavy sigh, he finally complies Fine...but you owe me big time. and that was all it took to make your eyes light up, followed by a big grin...and a hug. "Thank you so much Saiki! I'll buy you lots of coffee jelly!"

He hesitated for a second, then awkwardly pats your head as a way to return the hug. Ignoring the small fluttering in your chest, you pull away. So, where do you want to start? "Not my house, that's for sure. My parents might explode if they see a teen my age at our house..." you let out a little chuckle at your exaggeration. While you love your parents, they can get a little overwhelming when it comes to friends, since you haven't had one in so long.

Alright, my house then? you nod at his response, then look back at the timeworn book, you mutter to yourself, "soon."
