Joker Trap {Reiji x Reader} 《SLOW-UPDATE》

02 - Breakfast

As both of you arrived in front od the door that have a plaque outside that written 'Kitchen'.

"Good morning!" said Haruka. They all seems pretty tired, but then a thought hit your head

They all look fine, i felt my skin is no better than them

It's kinda funny, but no- You just followed Haruka. When she sat, you sat beside her.

"Have you eat yet, (Family name)-san?" Reiji asked. He really sat in front of you. "No..."

"You doesn't like pancake?" Otoya asked then, it only made the situation kinda awkward.

"No! I like pancake. It's just... i usually eat fruit salad instead pancakes."

"Girls, huh?" Syo murmured. But you still can heard that. "Aw, c'mon~ she's new, be kind okay?" giggled Haruka as she stood up and went to see the fridge. You just wait there and drank the milk that Haruka already poured to your glass.

Beside you, Ranmaru came and sat. Without hestitation, "Morning... designer." He was mumbling, but his gravelly voice made his words can be hear.

"Good morning..."

Ren glanced his Senior, Ranmaru like he is sick or something. He stopped eating and said, "Senpai, since when did you become so nice?"

"Yeah! Since when Ranran?" Reiji also play around.

"My hearts feel itchy when you said that, Senpai." Ren added.

"Fuc off, it's not your bussiness."

"Wow, rude." Otoya's word kinda make Ranmaru mad but he kept calm about it.

You wasn't talking, you just shy about being with new people. Let see, there are Masato, Otoya, Masato, all starish member except Tokiya, Renji and Ranran.

"Where are Mikaze, Camus and...-"

"Tokiya?" Natsuki asked.

"Yeah, Ichinose-san."

"He said he must record something."

Haruka backs with a small bowl full of fruits, Watermelon, berry, lil mangos and a little bit of honey.

"Here." Haruka sat beside me and start eating. You just said "thanks."

Think about what you're wear right now, it's really different from Haruka. No wonder everyone like her. Feminime, always smell good, bright smile that can blind you off. You take a glance out of Haruka. Look at her! Baby blue dress, neat hair, stockings, she looks like a doll.

"Hey, (Family Name)-san," Reiji called you. "Yeah?"

"Wanna accompany me today?"

"Huh?" You almost chocked. Even Ranmaru beside you felt weird with that word. "What did you mean by that?"

"Simple, isn't you must make our costume based on our personality?"

Reiji has point on that. Saotome said too. But, for some reason you need to ask the boss first. As a a designer, you are pro--but as a staff in Saotome, you just new.

"But i need to discuss about that one more time with Saotome."

♧

Reiji serious about that. About you accompany him, even his tone is kinda joking before. This man is true a joker.

"Reiji, what are you doing here?" Ringo asked.

"I accompany her~ it's not a big deal."

"But... Kotobuki-san, i need to discuss something important with Saotome-san." You basically just stared him. He doesn't want to move. He just stand beside you without talking, crossed his hands on his chest.

"No no. It's fine if he want to. You need a hand too, don't you?" Saotome laughed a little bit. Saotome is weird in someway, but he looked serious about this.

"Firstly, i'm sorry about my not formal looking clothes."

"It's fine, everyone can wear everything they want," Ringo blinked once and smiled.

You take a deep breath and discuss about thing, "so... the design. I design a costume for Quartet night based on personality?"

"Yes."

"Isn't the costume should fit the song theme?"

"Correct!" Saotome shouted. "Play that out, Ringo!"

Ringo bring a CD and play that out. The song is LoFi way. Nice, calming. "You hear that Reiji? That is your group song."

"Saotome-san... isn't it hard to sing for us? Uh i mean... it's not a big deal for Ai. It's for Ranran."

"It's a challenge. You must be a man Reiji!"

Saotome gave you a music sheets-filled with lyrics and who sing the part.

"Thank you... i'll working hard."

Reiji, his face full of hestitation. Even when both of you left the room. He seems to worry and touched his neck several times. Even when you were walking with him, not too far from the office, he still wont talk.

"Kotobuki-san... are allright?"

Reiji wake up from his thought, he looked at you and smiled. "I'm totally fine! Haha.."

You grab his sleeve with your finger, you know he is not confident right now.

"Hey... it's okay to talk to me, Kotobuki-san."

"I prefer you call my first name. It's sounds weird when you call that."

"Is that allright?"

Reiji nodded, "okay, Reiji."

"Please talk to me about your worry."

Reiji felt shy when you said that. He just looked at you and look away.

"You look like small kid."
