The promise (Childhood friend, Male Reader) Finale
"Where in the hell is he?!" (F/F/n) thought to himself, looked around from his seat, though it caused some girls to look at him, strangely. (F/f/n) finally manage to find a seat for (F/n) and himself, but it was getting more crowded that he have to gave up (F/n)'s seat to someone else.
"He's going to miss it!" (F/F/n) whispered then suddenly, he heard a flute playing. He watched carefully at the crowd, they were whispering to each other as the flute was playing a song, he recently learned that Misaka played the violin, he now wonders—who's playing the flute?!
He then heard a girl's voice saying in a whisper, "What on earth is going on?!" He spotted the girl, who's responsible for that statement—two rows in front of him and two seats from the right; she was wearing a maid outfit, her red curly hair was tied in twin-tails style, but he noticed that she was holding a camera and expressing shock.
Wait...Isn't that?! He thought to himself, Oh no..!
"I can't believe you still play with the flute." Misaka whispered that statement as she gets her violin ready.
"Hey! I love to play it!" (F/n) whispered back as he cleaned a flute, from one of the boxes, with his handkerchief.
"I thought you might grow out of it..You know? I still remember you playing your flute when we first met."
"Well, I need to do something to kill time. I didn't have anyone else to hang around with...after that day you left..." (F/n) frowned a little while putting his handkerchief in his pocket.
Misaka took notice with a small frown as she look at (F/n), but gave a small smile as she placed her right hand on his shoulder, (F/n) looked at Misaka with confusion in his eyes. "Hey, you're not alone now. I'm here."
(F/n)'s eyes widen but soon relaxed and smiled, "Yeah..Thank you."
Misaka grew a bigger smile and said, "Let's give them a show."
(F/F/n) looked at the stage and saw Misaka walking out with the violin in her hand, she ready herself and moments after—she started to play along.
Focusing on the song being play, everyone settled down and listened...The song played out and can be heard out toward the rest of the school ground . It relaxed everyone's minds..well all except two... (F/F/n) and the red head twin tail girl...Kuroko.
Unknown from the crowd, Misaka and (F/n) never felt happier before. As both of them playing the song, they started to remember the memories back when they were kids.
From their first meeting...playing games with the other kids...helping each other with school work...and their once final goodbyes...
It brought tears to (F/n)'s eyes, it was painful yet...to have an opportunity to play a song with Misaka now, those tears aren't just filled with sadness of the past...they were also tears of joy of the present.
And unknown to him, Misaka was tearing up too...However, no one else noticed it because her eyes are closed and happened to be smiling.
The song ended and the crowd applauded, excitedly—some people are wiping their tears off their eyes, few cheered, and couple of them just simply smiled. Misaka bowed her head to the crowd and quickly leaves the stage, hurrying to (F/n). (F/n) was wiping his tears off and saw Misaka quickly walking to him. He set the flute down and smiled, "You did great out there."
Misaka grinned at (F/n) before putting her violin away in her violin case, "Hey! Both of us did a great job."
(F/n) saw some tear tracks from Misaka's face. "Mikoto? Are you okay?"
"Huh? Yeah, why?"
"Were you crying?" That question made Misaka to touch her left cheek—realizing that she was—she quickly wiped her tears off. "Hey! Wait a second!"
(F/n) gently hold Misaka's hand to make her stop. He took another handkerchief and gently wipe her remaining tears away.
"Didn't know you have another one." Misaka stated as (F/n) finished wiping her tears away.
He said as he put his handkerchief away, "I always bring a spare—just in case I lose one."
Misaka smiled with a small giggle. "You haven't changed that much."
(F/n) chuckled and said, "Maybe...But you have changed though...I-I-I mean in a good way!" He suddenly stutter, realizing that it could interpreted in a different way. "You're more amazing than ever before...and a lot prettier.." He whispered that last part with a huge blush on his cheeks as he looked away.
However....Misaka heard that comment which set her face to be red. She tried to talked to him and yet, she was speechless. Somehow...hearing those compliments from him, made her heart accelerated, and her bangs sparked some electricity.
"Wha-wha-wha-what are you saying, y-you idiot!!!" Misaka shouted as her electricity was shot out and it zapped (F/n) from his trance, and startled him as his esper ability started to active, preventing injuries from Misaka's ability. It was proven that he couldn't sustain the voltage for long, he stumbled backward till he crashed to some boxes.
That brought attention to Misaka and she rushed to (F/n), "Oh my god! (F/n)! Are you okay?!"
(F/n) sat up as the excess electricity course through his body, "Ow ow ow ow..No major injuries...."
"Sissy! What happened?!" Kuroko appeared out of no where, "I heard a crash and I-Ough!!" She saw the scene....Misaka kneeling next to (F/n), still sitting on broken boxes..
Misaka saw Kuroko in fear for (F/n)'s safety. "Wait! Kuroko!! He didn't do anything! He just tripped!" She defended his place.
"Sissy....Who is that man....?" Kuroko started slump over with a shadow on her face as her eyes grew bright red in anger. She noticed the electricity sparking on (F/n)'s body, "So..He tried to do something..Eh.."
"THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!" Misaka yelled as she helped (F/n) off the floor. Misaka stood in front of (F/n) to protect him from Kuroko's possible upcoming assault, "Kuroko calmed down before you-?!"
Kuroko teleported behind the two and was about to kick-strike (F/n)'s head, yet the excess electricity that (F/n) couldn't sustain—it traveled and zapped Kuroko from the air. She led a scream and with a sound of thud, Misaka and (F/n) saw Kuroko twitching on the floor from the shock.
"Uh...What just happened...?" Misaka asked.
"I....I don't know....." (F/n) answered.
After that, the two of them meet up with their friends; everyone introduced each other though Misaka's friends, Uiharu and Saten, where they were asking Misaka about Kuroko's whereabouts which lead an awkward laughter from Misaka. They went to the dinning hall to eat some food before they all have to go home.
"So you knew Misaka back when she was just a kid?" A black-haired girl with a single flower hair pin her left side, Saten, asked (F/n) as she placed her head on her right hand in curiosity. She was sitting across from (f/F/n) with Misaka on her right.
"Yep, from kindergarten to the 2nd grade. I'm still surprised that I found her here." (F/n) answered, he sits across from Misaka with (f/F/n) by his right side. (F/n) got jabbed on the side by an elbow from (f/F/n).
"You mean me! I found her!" (f/F/n) exclaimed with a tick marked appeared on his head. "Ever since you mention how important Misaka was to you—I gotta do something!" (f/F/n) puffed his cheeks while (F/n) blushed madly that he hides his face by putting his head on the table. Of course, Misaka was blushing too, with Saten making a cocky smirk.
"Oh~ How important is she, (F/n)?" Saten teasingly asking (F/n) as she holding her head with both hands on the table.
"S-Saten-san! You shouldn't tease someone you just met!" Uiharu, a girl with short black hair and wearing a flower hair band, sitting next to Saten's left side, "Ah! I'm curious is how you two met, (L/n)-kun."
(F/n) raised his head from the table and looked at Uiharu from her question, "How we both met each other?"
Uiharu nodded with stars in her eyes. (F/n) straighten up with a small smile, "Well, it all started two weeks after the first day of school in kindergarten..."
"Stop it!! Stop!!!" Little (F/n) was struggling to be free from couple of bullies who were holding him back as another bully was attempting to break a wooden flute.
"Try and stop me, loser!" The bully said as he was about to use his knee to break the flute.
"What's going on here?!" A teacher jogged to the scene and the bully stopped as well as the other bullies let go of (F/n)'s arms.
"Nothing, Sensei!" The bully said to prevent himself from getting into trouble.
"You were trying to break his flute!" The bully was shocked as they saw Misaka walking up next to the teacher, "Bleh!!" She stuck her tongue out to the bully.
"Why you-?!"
"Enough!! You three! To the time out zone!" The teacher yelled making the bullies twitched from the sudden yell; as the bullies went to the 'time out zone', Misaka went to the boy, who was picking up his wooden flute—that was thrown down by one of the bullies, and cleaning it with his shirt.
"You okay?"
"Y-yeah...." Misaka noticed some tears in his eyes but was quickly wiped away from (F/n)'s sleeves before he finished cleaning his flute.
"So...what songs do you play?" Misaka asked to change the glum atmosphere.
"Songs? Well....I can only play one song but..." (F/n) answered nervously.
"Can I listen to it?" Misaka asked with stars in her eyes caused (F/n) to blush lightly but he nodded.
He started to play a song, "Mary and the Little Lamp". Despite the fact the song was simple, it was beautiful. The notes weren't too high or too low, and it was perfectly timed. As (F/n) finished playing, Misaka was clapping her hands in excitement.
"That was cool! Oh! I'm Mikoto Misaka! What's your name?"
"(F/n) (L/n)."
Misaka smiled happily as she bowed her head to (F/n), "Nice to meet you, (L/n)!"
(F/n) shyly smiled and bowed his head, "Nice to meet you too."
"Awwww~! That's so cute~!" Saten squeal with a small blush on her cheeks. Misaka was hiding her blush by covering her face with her hands.
"And you were playing a flute at a young age! You must be really talented!" Uiharu said as stars are twinkling around her head, "I wish I could hear your songs, (L/n)-kun."
"Same here!" Saten said as she grinned.
(F/n) chuckled softly and nervously, when he knows that both of them did hear his song, just unaware of it.
Both of you did hear my music... (F/n) thought before (f/F/n) tapped his shoulder.
"Can I talk to you in private?" (F/F/n) asked which (F/n) nodded afterward, both boys left the table and went somewhere.
They went to an empty corner of the hallway, they stand side by side against a wall. (F/F/n) placed his hands in his pockets as he whispered a question, "So you're the one playing the flute during Misaka's performance?"
"Huh?! What are you talking about?!" (F/n) whispered back, hoping that (f/F/n) would drop the topic.
"I know you practice that song—for 2 months. There's no doubt about it."
"It could be someone else playing that song too."
"You forgot there were pamphlets for this event. I manage to take a quick look and it claims that Mikoto Misaka is playing her violin for her performance...alone."
This made (F/n)'s heart stopped from that claim. If someone have found out about it, it's likely that (F/n) won't be able to approach the school for a while.
"And I wasn't the only one who found something weird happened during the performance. Kuroko Shirai, a Judgement office, noticed it too."
"Yeah...About that......I was found out.."
(F/n) took a look at his friend and he was surprised from (f/F/n)'s shocked and scared face.
"What happened...?"
"Well......Misaka shocked me because....I was complimenting her..assuming it got her all embarrassed....And uh....This girl with twin tails with a maid outfit appeared out of nowhere and Misaka started to help me up as she was trying to calm that girl down but......She disappeared and—the next thing I knew, she was shocked from electricity that was in my body and collapsed......"
(F/F/n) scratched his hair in frustration. "That was Shirai..!"
"Look! I didn't mean it to happen, alright?! It just did!"
(F/F/n) took a moment to breath and said, "Okay...Well....It almost time...Do you have anything else to do before we leave?"
"Uh...Um..." (F/n) didn't realized it...Of course he could try to visit Misaka some other times, but considering that Kuroko would inform the school about it...He'll have a hard time catching up to Misaka..... "I....I don't know....."
(F/F/n) sighed and straightened himself, "Come on. We have to go back. They're probably wondering."
"Yeah....."
"It was great meeting you two." Uiharu said with her head bowed to (F/n) and (f/F/n).
"Hang out with us sometime okay?! Bye you two!" Saten flashed a grin as she and Uiharu walked away.
"Same here!" (F/F/n) waved 'goodbye' to them.
"See ya!!" (F/n) shouted for the girls to hear.
"Well, I'm off. It was great meeting, Misaka." (F/F/n) said as he faced Misaka and bowed his head, "You were wonderful with your performance."
"Oh, it was nice meeting you too. And thank you." Misaka smiled.
(F/F/n) leaned and whispered to Misaka's ear which startled her, but it was nothing compared to what he said, "Take care of (F/n). He's hopeless but he has a good heart."
"HHHUUHHH?! W-wha-what are y-you talking about?!" Misaka blushed while (F/n) was oblivious about the exchange between Misaka and (f/F/n).
"Well, gotta go! See you two later!" And with that (f/F/n) walked away, leaving (F/n) and Misaka all alone.
"W-Well...I should get going..." Misaka said and as she was about to leave.
"Uh-wait! Mikoto!"
"Hm..What is it?"
"I...I Uh....." (F/n) stumbled his words as he felt the same feeling from before... "Uh...Um....W..when...when will I...Uh...When will I see you again...?"
Misaka was flushed and started to stutter, "Um...Well...H-H-H-How ab-b-b-bout...m-m-m-meeting me to-to-tom-morrow..? A-A-At Joseph b-b-by 11?.."
(F/n) nodded, "S-sure! It's a promise!"
It was silence till (F/n) noticed what he said. He blushed immediately in embarrassment.
"I-I-I'm sorry!! I-I-I-I meant to-to say a-ah..A-A hang-out! Yeah! A hang-out!" (F/n) continued to mumbled on and apologizing while Misaka was processing of what he said, and a little bit afterward—she started to giggled.
"Oh my gosh! Heheheheheh." Misaka giggled which finally brought (F/n)'s attention from his own mumbling.
"Huh..?"
Misaka calmed down a bit with a smile and said, "Do you remember? The promise back then?"
(F/n)'s eyes were widen from that realization and he gave Misaka a warm smile, "Yeah."
Misaka stick her right pinky finger out, causing (F/n) confused from her action. "What are you.."
"Let's make a promise to meet up again tomorrow. Okay, (F/n)?" Misaka asked with a smile, a smile of hope where it won't be like last time.
(F/n) smiled a bit wider but with a grin, and he wrapped his right pinky finger to Misaka's, "Okay. It's a promise."
Okay...I'll admit that this was way way WAY too long to be upload, but I didn't know how to end this one-shot...So it was kept here the whole time and I kept thinking about the ending. Hopefully, all of you like this one-shot, and I'm hoping I'll do more one-shots in the future.
