Mari x Reader Ending (requested don't hate lmao)

~Your p.o.v~

I was standing outside of Kid's house, knowing all my friends were inside. The three boys... I didn't know how to feel about them anymore. It had been a few more months, and I still hadn't chosen between the three of them. No one had pressured me or anything, but I had begun to notice a change in me: I'd stopped "caring" for them.

It wasn't like I didn't like them anymore as friends, but I just didn't like them anymore. It had been eating me up inside now for almost three weeks. I'd spent a lot of time with the girls, but only told Mari about what I'd been feeling.

Well, most of it at least.

I hadn't told her about the growing feelings for her. It had started as maybe just a friend crush, thinking she was so beautiful and cool, but then after a while, when we grew closer as friends, I'd started to fall for her.

I turned and sat down on the steps of Kid's house, sighing with my face held in my hands, looking at my motorcycle parked in the driveway. It was a quiet one, the one Soul had bought me those months ago on my birthday. I know that none of them would've heard me pull up because I'd cut the engine at the bottom of the driveway and walked the bike up. I just didn't want to be found just yet. As far as my soul went, I was able to just make it a little "quieter" with my magic.

I rubbed my face, thinking about everything at once, overwhelming my senses. Mari. She was just so... after we'd begun to grow closer, we'd spent a lot of time together and I'd seen more of the different sides of her. There was the perky persona she showed to the world, but then I'd seen the darker parts of her. She'd told me about what had happened to her in the past, not leaving out the grueling details, and I'd felt like I needed to protect her.

When I'd started falling for her, it had been when she'd shown up at my house at three in the morning after a mission she'd been on, maybe a month and a half ago, and texted me telling me she was here. I'd walked to the door and when I'd opened it I'd seen her covered in the keshins blood, barely holding it together.

She'd fallen into my arms sobbing, crying that she was sorry and she just didn't know what to do. Apparently the keshin had gone into her memories and pulled up thoughts about her past and Asuka. We'd spoken for the rest of the night, and then stayed home from school the next day, Atsuki not questioning it, and Rin even going out and buying us take out.

I looked up as the door opened behind me, and I saw Mari standing there in a pair of leggings and long -sleeved white croptop. She smiled at me. "(Y/n). What are you doing out here?" She asked, sitting next to me.

I shrugged, my jacket making a little noise. It was the one she'd given me for my birthday with our friends' names sewn into it. "I think I just might go home." I said, leaning on my palm again.

She nodded, looking to where I was looking at the sun, almost having gone all the way down. She leaned her head on my shoulder, and little tingles went down my spine. "That's fine too," She said.

We were quiet in a comfortable silence for a moment, looking at the sun slowly sinking. "Mari--" I said, trailing off. Should I tell her?

She leaned up, looking at me. "Yeah?" She asked. I turned to her, trying hard and failing to find the words to tell her. I looked into her eyes, and saw something in them. She reached her hand up and placed it on my cheek. "I know, (Y/n)." She said, and my cheeks started heating up as she leaned in, her lips a breath away from mine as she looked into my eyes. "You're not that good at hiding a crush." She said, and I closed my eyes as she leaned in and kissed me.

Her lips were soft and warm, and... sweet. Sweet like... lemon drops, maybe. I reached my hand forward, feeling her skin as my fingertips touched her waist where her stomach was exposed. After a few moments, she pulled away, and we looked into each other's eyes.

"What do you say," she said, nodding at my bike, "we get out of Death City for a while?" She asked.

We stood, our fingers laced loosely, and ran down to my bike, a laugh escaping my lips. I got on the front of my bike, clipping my helmet on and tossing the spare to her, my cheeks still warm. I got on the bike, starting it up and revving the engine a little as she clipped her helmet.

She sat behind me and her hands went around my waist, holding me tightly as she rested her chin on my shoulder, her cheek warm against my neck. "Take me away from this city." She said as I kicked the kickstand up. "I need a break, and you're just what I need."
