➳ Caught You: Yoru x Fem!Reader「VALORANT」《OLD》

➳ Chapter 9: A late-night talk

You followed Yoru quietly as you avoided your steps to click on the tiles. As you followed, Yoru stopped at the attic, heading inside the attic as you curiously continued to follow him. "What could he possibly be doing here?" You questioned yourself, you shook your head as you silently made your way inside of the attic as well. Hiding behind a big box as you see Yoru was turning his head around, luckily, he didn't notice you as you sighed mentally. You peaked from the box as you notice the riftwalker walking towards a window as he jumps out, now you were concerned as you continued to trail behind him. Peaking out of the window, your eyes were fixated on Yoru as he sat on top of the rooftop, resting. 

You admired him as you watched the moonlight hit his features, adoring his facial features as you were currently in awe.  Suddenly, you snapped back from the sound of Yoru clearing his throat as he spoke up, "Are you done staring?" he says, still looking forward. You flinched as you squeaked out a response, "O-oh, sorry," you apologized. He then turns his gaze to you as he pats the clear space, motioning you to sit next to him. You were reluctant but decided to hop out of the window and join him as you sat next to him.

"You haven't been on top of here?" Yoru asks.

"Yeah actually, I didn't even know it was possible to get on the rooftops," You replied.

"Nobody knows about this place other than me so I guess this is the first time I had someone else out here with me," Yoru says, chugging down a bottle of sake.

You giggled as you turned your gaze towards the view and your eyes widened at the beautiful sight. The moon brightly shining as the stars twinkled in the dark, the light hitting on the seashore, as well as mountains standing in the distance in the background. The wind blew coldly as you shivered slightly, Yoru taking notice. "You good dude?" He asked, concerned. You turned your gaze to him as you replied, "Oh, I'm good! It's just that it's a bit chilly up in here," you chuckled. 

You blink repeatedly as Yoru removed one of his arms from the sleeve of his jacket, he opens up as he gestures to you to huddle yourself in one of the spaces of his coat. You raised an eyebrow as you looked at him with a confused gaze, making him sigh. "You're cold, so get in," Yoru said, almost stammering his words. Your cheeks flushed as you felt a strange feeling growing inside you, gulping, you shimmied yourself to the riftwalker as he placed the one side of his jacket around you. You felt so close to him as you can't help but feel warm on the inside, butterflies in your stomach as you were awkwardly sitting still. 

"T-thank you," you stuttered, your cheeks fully red.

You feel Yoru's figure slightly shift as he handed you a bottle of sake, "You want some or nah?" he offers. You hesitantly replied as you accepted the offer, "Why so generous Yoru?" you said as you calmly took the bottle from him as you opened it. "Eh, I don't really know, guess I can call it giving you back the favor for getting me more radianite points back at the mission," He shrugs, taking another sip of sake from his bottle. You grinned at him as you responded, "Maybe that sake has been getting into you now," you jokingly said. "Nah, I got a high tolerance with alcohol," he denies. You laughed as you continued to drink with Yoru and have a conversation with him, talking about your interests and common things you both like. Joking around as you enjoyed your time around, not having a care in the world. 

"You remember the times when we used to just argue nonstop?" You asked him.

"Ah yeah, Viper always got super pissed and annoyed because of it," He replied. "Now it's like I dunno... It's like we're homies now," He continued.

"Well, I'll be completely honest, I feel like you're the one who I'm the closest to in the protocol, it's kinda weird but I don't know really... it's kinda nice," You admittedly said.

"Really? You're still just a talking piece of meat to me," He sarcastically said, earning you to nudge him with your shoulder as he laughed.

"You're very mean," You commented.

"My bad, princess," He said in a jokingly manner.

"Hey, shut up!" You giggled.

"But what I said was true though, it's like... I can trust you with anything," You continued, gazing at the view infront of you as you waited for Yoru's response. As you awed the sight, silence kicked in as you looked at Yoru, you expected him to reply but he only gave you a look, a blush creeping up his cheeks as his face was bright red. Earning you to tilt your head as you questioned him, "Is something wrong, Yoru?" you asked. He flinched from his place, averting his gaze from you as, "Y-yeah, I'm good," he muttered. 

"Hey Yoru, can I get a hug?" You asked sweetly.

Yoru's eyes widened as he shifted slightly in his place, feeling uncomfortable. Warmth suddenly flooded in his chest as you stuttered, almost silently, "U-uh... sure?" he said, unsure and awkwardly. You smiled brightly at him as you squeezed him tightly. "H-hey! Chill!" Yoru says, his lungs being suffocated. You realized as you let go, scratching the back of your neck as you apologized, "Sorry!" you said, smiling nervously. Before Yoru could say anything, you gave him another hug but a softer embrace, you relaxed your arms around him as you closed your eyes, savoring the moment.

Yoru blinked his eyes a couple of times, gazing at your figure as he felt your arms wrap around him. It made his chest swell as he hesitated to embrace you back. Finally, he sighed as he hugged back awkwardly. He felt nervous and sweaty, unsure of what his next action will be as he proceeded to pat your back. 

It didn't take too long as you let go, giving him a smile as you spoke up, "You're a bad hugger, dude," you smugly said. Yoru didn't give any response as he only groaned at you, averting his gaze from you as he sips his sake, looking away from you. You didn't mind as you shift yourself away from Yoru, standing up as you stretch your arms. 

"Well, I gotta get going now, it's getting late so I'm gonna go and hit the hay," You said.

"Okay, cya tomorrow then," Yoru replied.

"Are you sure you don't wanna go to sleep now? We got missions tomorrow," You turned to him, resting both your hands at your hips.

"I'm going back soon, I'll just finish this bottle then I'll go now," He responded.

"Alright then, goodnight Yoru!" You beamed at him, before jumping down into the attic, leaving the rooftop. 

"Goodnight, C/N," He says quietly.
