Requested by SNHKzx

I'm going put the requests on hold for now. There are oneshots I wanted to write and they often come out while I'm writing requests. Also, I nearly forgot this is a Male! Reader. I've never written Male! Readers before, so that Akito x Male! Reader is my first. I was deciding whether to make this fluffy or angsty, but wanted some fluff so here's a bit of fluff.
====================

"Y/N, can you come over? It would be nice if you could bring some stuff along the way." Mafuyu texted.

You've noticed all the signs of Mafuyu has; the inability to make decisions to those kinds of thoughts. You two may not go to the same school, but you're both there for each other. You were once in the same situation she's in, but yours was mild. When you listened to one of the songs by producers, who use Miku and the other Virtual Singers, you felt their songs save you.

To Mafuyu, you're someone she can trust; you don't expect her to be perfect or control her, like her parents do. Besides, despite all those "flaws" she has, you still think she's fine just the way she is. In addition to the fact you two love aquariums and own fish tanks.

You manage to make it to the Asahina Household, knocking on the door.

"Oh, Y/N, here to visit Mafuyu?" Her mom asks.

"Yes, I got some things for her." You answer, holding an eco bag filled with things to cheer Mafuyu up.

"She's upstairs in her room. Be careful, okay?"

You nod your head, "don't worry, Ms. Asahina, I'll be sure to be careful."

You remove your shoes, entering the house to climb the stairs to Mafuyu's room. You begin knocking on the door, calling her name until you hear a voice.

"Ah, Y/N, is that you?" The ponytailed purplenette opens the door.

"Yes, I figured something happened after you texted and rushed to the convenience store and mall to get some stuff to cheer you up. What's up?"

"They're at it again."

"They're going to throw away your synthesizer?" You question in shock.

The purplenette shook her head, "no. It's all those strings being pulled."

"Mafuyu, you don't need to follow the path people made for you; make your own path."

"Easy for you to say. I'm just a marionette meant to be controlled by my parents. It's always been like this since Grade School." She begins brooding.

Yes, you understand how she feels, but in order to distract her, you give her a lavender castle for her aquarium, "here, I got this on my way to your house."

"What is that?"

"A castle for the fishes to live in. I know they live in that large fish tank you have there, but maybe this'll liven up things a bit. Plus, it looks to me your fishes want something to liven up their home. If you don't like it, we can go to the Aquarium."

She scans the lavender castle, even going further to the tiniest details, "it's fine. I'll keep it."

Mafuyu begins looking at her aquarium, deciding where to place it. Finally, she decided on a place to put it, at the center. You're good at designing fish tanks, so she relied on you to help her decide on where to place the castle.

"Before I do that, today's the day I replace the water in the tank. Care to help?"

"Sure."

You two being fixing and cleaning up the aquarium tank for the fishes, rearranging the stones and placing the decorations in. After a few minutes of doing so, the aquarium is finished. Mafuyu's fish look like they're having a blast, despite moving around, swimming. Good thing that distracted her from getting broody.

You two watched the fish in peace, seeing how fast Ootori was swimming. About that, Ootori's name came from Mafuyu's junior, whose last name is Ootori. She described her as a pink ball of "wandahoi," as her junior would always say.

"She sounds like an interesting junior to me."

"Yes, although, I don't know why she's always screaming, whenever I smile."

"Try smiling," you command as she complies.

Her smile made you feel chills run down your spine, trembling in fear; it felt ominous.

"I-I think I know why your junior is always screaming when you smile." You take a small movement back.

Mafuyu pulls you to a hug, "is my smile scary to you and Ootori-san?"

You slightly stammer, blush slightly growing, "well, um, maybe? But I'll help you improve that smile of yours. Maybe this 'Ootori' junior of yours won't get scared and shriek for her life."

She slightly chuckles, "I guess you're right."

After a bit of attempts (Ena: It's a million, Andrea; you know she can't smile.) Geez, Ena is foul mouthed about my favorite character. Anyway, let's continue. After a bit of attempts, Mafuyu manages to smile a bit, but it wasn't enough.

"Here, watch this." You show her a cat video, wherein a giant cat is stuck on the tiny door for animals to enter.

"It ate too much and lazed around most of the time." She states.

You showed her funny moments from anime and those videos, she didn't laugh, nor did a chuckle. You were about to give up until an idea came to you: tickle her sides with a feather. Good thing you got a feather on hand.

"Mafuyu," you call, she turns to your attention.

You swiftly bring out a white feather and begin tickling her sides with it, causing her to let out a stifled giggle. The good thing is, she isn't allergic to feathers, unlike Adrien "Just A Friend" Agreste.

"What are you doing?" She tries her best not to laugh, concealing that smile on here face.

"What do you think I'm doing?" You ask back.

"Stop it, or else." She threatens.

She begins tickling your self destruct spot, the (tickle spot).

"H-Hey, Mafu, st-stop!" You begin laughing.

"Mafuyu, Y/N, what are you two doing?" Her mom questions.

"Y/N was tickling me with a feather and I just did kid-friendly self defense." She finally laughs.

Operation: Make Mafuyu Laugh is a success!

"You're laughing!" You cheer.

She cocks her head in confusion, "laughing?" Her face became as blank as a canvas again.

"You look beautiful when you laugh, Mafu. I guess your junior just wants you to smile genuinely."

"Really? Well, I guess I'll go and show it to her tomorrow." She lets out a chuckle.

"Good luck, Mafu-mafu."

"Where'd you get that from?"

"I just find it cute."

====================
Ena: Since when did Mafuyu gain simps?

Andrea: Well, she has me as one of her simps. Besides, there are people who simp for you too.

Ena: Oh, I hope they've seen my selfies.

Mizuki: Yeah, as if you have an IG account in real life.

Ena: I'll make one and post all of my pics there. I'm sure those simps are waiting for me~!

Mizuki: Idk if having them is a good thing or a bad thing. Heck, Clemont from Pokemon even has them, yet he doesn't know.

Andrea: Clemont's gonna sue me...
