"Just A Side Character" [ TokRev x F.reader ]

[2] Invitation

I peered over and saw the evidence of my loneliness staring back at me. I had been so focused on trying to blend in that I hadn't even considered the possibility of making friends or reaching out to others. The reality of my isolation hit me hard, and I felt a pang of sadness in my chest. "I suppose not," I mumbled, feeling vulnerable and exposed.

Hm, now that I think about it, I never really interacted with anyone in my class, and no one has ever approached me either. Is this girl a loner or something?

"Here, your first contact" After he typed his number in my contacts list, he gave it back to me. "Chat me later so I can save your number as well"

I nodded, quickly after, we dismissed ourselves and went to our own classes. He was a grade higher than me so he had to take a different route.

As I walked to my first class, a million thoughts ran through my mind. Was it worth accepting Mitsuya's offer to attend a gang meeting just for the sake of satisfying my curiosity? Would it change the course of the story? And most importantly, would it put me in danger?

"Of course it would dumb*ss!!" I replied to my own thoughts. I only sighed, frowning as I let the thoughts worry me even further.

I decided to try to focus on making it through the rest of the school day without any more incidents. But as I sat in class, my mind kept wandering back to Mitsuya's invitation. I knew I couldn't get involved, but the temptation was too strong to resist.

After school ended, I made my way back home, still torn between my promise to stay away from any of the main characters and possibly change the course of the story and my growing curiosity about how it would be like. As I stepped into my home, I felt a strange sensation wash over me. It was the same feeling, the feeling of being safe and belongingness, in this world, despite the uncertainty and danger that lay ahead. I couldn't shake the feeling that maybe, just maybe, I was destined to be a part of this story, and that my fate was intertwined with that of Toman.

And with that thought, I picked up my phone and typed a message to Mitsuya, accepting his invitation to the gang meeting the next day. I took a deep breath as I sent the message, I'm probably doing a stupid thing... And as I looked out of my window, watching the sun set over the city, I knew that my life was, most likely, about to change forever.

After a while, I had gotten a message back from the guy.

Mitsuya: Great. I'll see you tomorrow, Aomori:)

For some reason I felt butterflies just invaded my stomach. I stared at the text message for about 3 minutes now, kicking my feet from excitement. Despite the worry that I've been feeling, I also feel this adrenaline filling my veins. Who wouldn't be this excited?!

I layed flat on my bed. And of course, the indecisive and overthinker person that I am, still thinking... I hope I'm not doing the wrong thing. I vowed to myself that i'll just be a bystander and let the protagonist do his story like he did in the anime, but these kinds of events keep happening to me. I kept encountering Toman members even if I didn't want to. Should I just go with the flow? Or should I just avoid them after that one invitation from Mitsuya.

I decided to sleep off the thoughts, and drifted off to sleep.

"–MITSUTA-SAN!!!..." My hands were covered in blood, and Mitsuya was just laying infront of me. Huh? Why am I screaming.

"Aomori... Y-you need to go... And get Draken... H-he's probably with Emma right.. now..."

What's happening? What's this?

"I can't leave you here!!" I tried to stop the bleeding. "H-hey it's no use"

"Run away..." He only gave me a smile.

"Heh. We got the lilac-haired, boys, more killing to go. Bring that chick with us, we still need her to lure in those other Toman f*ckers" I looked up to see who they were, and I guessed right. Members of Moebius. But why're they here? This scene isn't supposed to happen in the show? Did... Did I change the course of the story...?

F*ck! W-WHAT DID I DO?!?!—

I woke up, sweating. What the hell was that...? I jerked up, my head suddenly felt like it was getting hit by a hammer ten times harder than it actually is. I grunted, trying to regain stability as I held my head. After a while, it stopped, and I only looked at the palm of my hand, I imagined the blood dripping from my palms when I tried to stop his bleeding. It almost made me puke. Just what the hell did I see... It... It was just a dream.

I sighed loudly, flopping myself back on my bed, but was interrupted by the sound of steps nearing closer to my door, I heard the knock on the door. "Hunny, Breakfast's ready. I'm about to head out for work, keep safe here okay?"

I slowly got up, almost stumbling a bit but I regained my balance. I went to open the door knob to see my mother dressed formally. So she's not a housewife then. Where's my 'dad' anyway?

"Take care, mom" I smiled softly, and she did the same. When she left, I went to look at my flip phone to see it was actually Saturday today. I sighed in relief and snuggled myself back into bed. The sight of Mitsuya bleeding to death occurred to me once again, making me shiver at the sight.

"From the looks of it, it seems like it happened during the Musashi Festival..." I thought to myself. "But why so random? Will it actually happen? Is it because I'm here...?"

I lightly slapped myself in both sides, shaking my head. "No no, Aomori Y/n! You mustn't overthink this!" I continued to talk to myself.– "It was probably just a nightmare" –I said in hopes to calm myself down.

I then got a notification, I took my phone and saw a text from Mitsuya.

————
Mitsuya: You up for tonight? We'll have a meeting at Musashi Shrine at 10pm. I'll pick you up if you want:)

Mitsuya: You can still back out if you're not up for it. :))
————

I pressed a few keys on the flip phone, 'I'll go, see you tonight Mitsuya-san!'

*Sent!*

Hmp, just this once. I just wanna... See them.
