RQ: KonataXMale!Reader

(y/n) stood nervously at the front of the classroom as his new teacher introduced him to the class.

“Students! We have a new exchange student from (country you’re from),” she gestured to the boy, “mind telling us your name?”

Thanks to the few years of Japanese classes, the young man was able to understand and answer back in his best Japanese.

“U-Umm, my name’s (y/n) (l/n). I-it’s nice to meet you.”

He wasn’t someone who really stood out. Just a normal guy with (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes, the only time he really stood out was the strange accent he had when he spoke Japanese, everyone really listened to him when he talked, although it was only for his accent and not on the topic he was talking about.

“Well it’s nice to meet you too (y/n). Now, I want everyone to make (y/n) feel welcomed here, this is a completely new country for him and it can be a little scary. If I hear one complaint from him,” she narrowed her eyes dangerously, “you can expect to hear something from me.”

The class shook and the students nodded their heads frantically.

“Good. There an empty seat beside Konata. Konata! Raise your-” the teacher stopped herself when she saw the girl she was trying to call out to was sleeping at her desk. (y/n) followed her gaze and it landed on a blue-haired girl slumped over on her desk catching some z’s. He did his best to stifle a chuckled as his teacher marched over to the sleeping girl and gave her a good wack on the head. The girl woke with a start and a huge bump on her head.

“Wakey-wakey,” the teacher said playfully.

“Uuuugh . . . . . . . still using corporal punishment teach?”

“Yup!”

“Guh, I’m gonna loose so many brain cells from this.”

“You probably loose more playing all those games for so long. Since you were sleeping through the whole thing, I’ll just have to re-introduce the new student,” she gestured to (y/n), “this is (y/n) (l/n), and he’ll be sitting next to you.”

“(y/n) huh? Weird name.”

*POW!!!!*

~Later~

“Ugh, she didn’t have to hit me that hard,” Konata mumbled, nursing the new bump on her head. She picked up her history book and made sure it shielded the manga magazine she was actually looking at, although it wasn’t hidden from (y/n), who just happened to glance over at her and caught the picture of one of his favorite anime characters. His eyes slightly widened at the recognition of his favorite anime character, this didn’t go unnoticed by the blue-haired student who owned the magazine, out of the corner of her eyes, she caught his expression and automatically forgot they were still in class when she blurted out, “Hey! You like this stuff too!!?”

A book flew through the air with deadly accuracy and struck Konata square on the head, adding new bumps to her old ones.

“Oi! Pay attention!!”

“Y-yes ma’m.”

The hour of lunch arrived. (y/n) half-heartedly grabbed his lunch from his backpack and was about to just eat right there and then when he felt someone grab his arm.

“Eh?”

“Come on! You’ve gotta have lunch with me and my friends! It’s not everyday we encounter another otaku like myself in this school after all!!”

“Huh? B-but-.”

Poor (y/n) never got to say his refusal, for Konata had pulled him out of his seat and dragged him to the other side of the classroom where three other girls were waiting. (y/n) recognized the short, purple and long pink haired ones as his fellow classmates, and then there was another who almost looked exactly like the purple-haired one, but she harbored long pigtails. She was the first to speak.

“Konata, what are you doing with that poor boy?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at the idiotic blue-head.

“Kagami, meet (y/n)! Another fellow otaku like myself!!”

“Uhhhh . . . . . . . . hi?” (y/n) said nervously.

“Um, yeah. Konata, why did you bring him over here?”

“Cause he’s an otaku from a completely different universe.”

Kagami, (y/n) guess this was “pigtail’s” name, gave him a confused look.

“Uhhh, I’m from (y/c).”

“Oh, that makes more sense.”

“Here here,” Konata pulled up a chair, “sit sit!!”

“O-ok,” (y/n) begrudgingly obeyed and sat between Konata and Kagami.

“Hey, sorry about her, she can be a bit spazzy when she meets someone who’s into the same kind of stuff she is,” Kagami whispered to him.

“Y-yeah, I noticed,” (y/n) said, focusing on his lap, becoming a little uncomfortable from the fact that he was surrounded by people on only his first day in this new country, especially from the fact that they were girls.

“So, these are all my other friends, Tsukasa and Miyuki!”

The two girls game him a smile and a wave and he simply nodded in response.

All the girls finally focused on their lunches and (y/n) felt a little more at ease now that their attention wasn’t on him. He put his lunchbox on the table and opened it, revealing its’ contents.

His comfort didn’t last long, all the attention was back on him when they all caught sight of his lunch.

“Whoa! What the heck is that!!?” Konata almost shouted.

“U-u-u-uhhh.”

“Konata!!! Don’t be rude!!” Kagami scolded, “but seriously though, what is that stuff? I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

“I-it’s just (your favorite thing to eat of your ethnicity), it’s actually common from where I live.”

“Wow!!! Let me have a bite!!” Konata bluntly ordered.

“Eh!?”

“Come on! Fork it over!”

(y/n) tried again and again to refuse her request, but she just kept at it until he mumbled a “fine”. Konata cheered much to his confusion, it was just a simple lunch he made with ingredients that best matched what he usually would use back at his homeland. He cut a piece with his fork and held it out to Konata, keeping his eyes on the floor, not being able to see Konata’s friends watching intently the scene before them.

'It’s like a scene right out of an anime!!'! Kagami thought with the tiniest hint of envy that her obnoxious friend gets to experience a moment that happens none too often. Konata opened her mouth wide and took the piece of food into her mouth.

“It’s really good!” she says through her slightly full mouth.

“Oi, swallow first.”

“Sorry.”

Konata gulped and them held out the chocolate cornet she had yet to start eating.

“Here, want a piece? You know you want to!”

“Actually I don’t-”

His face was met with the bread up close.

“Come on! There’s no need to be shy!!”

(y/n) sighed, he had realized that there really was no way of saying “no” to this girl.

“O-ok, th-thanks.”

He ripped a small piece from the top and was about to pop it into his mouth before having the whole thing shoved into his face again, this time he was met with a hole stuffed with chocolate.

“Hey you can’t forget the best part! Dip it in there!”

“Uhh, r-right.”

He did as he was told and popped the pastry into his mouth. To his surprise, it was really delicious, if these were sold here, he was really planning on buying a few to go with his lunch.

“W-wow . . . . . that was really good.”

“I know right!? Why else do you think I always have one at lunch!?”

“Heh, well, thank you.”

~0~

The school day finally ended, (y/n) packed his bag and didn’t even get to the gates when he felt someone slap him on the back.

“Gyahh!!?”

“Heya!”

Even if it was only his first day, he already knew who that voice belonged to.

“Uhhh, hey Konata.”

“So, you like anime?”

“Ummm, y-yeah, a lot actually.”

“Well, I know a place with a ton of manga and DVDs to choose from. I usually go there after school, wanna come?”

“Uhhh, I’m not-”

“Great! Let’s go!!”

Konata grabbed his arm and ran while dragging him.

'Ugh, will I ever get to finish a sentence around this girl?'

~0~

“Whoa!!” (y/n) exclaimed, completely forgetting about his shyness. Manga, games, DVDs, art books, figurines, they were just everywhere in this store. It was heaven for an otaku such as himself.

“Heh heh, I see someone already likes what he sees. Come on! Let me show you my favorites.”

Despite the fact that they’ve only met that day, (y/n) had already gotten used to being dragged around by Konata. She showed him her favorite anime and manga and he did the same for her, hooking her up with some of his favorite titles. They both had such a good time that they literally spent an hour in the store and it would’ve been longer if it were not for (y/n)’s cellphone ringing with his mother on the other line wondering where he was. He panicked for a minute but then reassured her that he was fine and got side-tracked while spending time with a new friend. He and Konata quickly paid for what they got and walked out of the store.

“Hey, I had a good time today, thank you,” he said.

“No problem! There’s so much more stuff I gotta show you!”

“Heh, but I think this’ll be enough for now,” he remarked, holding up his two bags of merchandise.

“If you say so. Well then, later! See you at school tomorrow!!”

“Y-yeah, bye.”

(y/n) watched her walk off and a smile crept up on his face.

“What a weird girl,” he said to himself, “but she’s actually pretty cool.”

~0~

It was a lazy Saturday for (y/n). He had finished his homework and was just browsing the internet when an ad popped up. Thinking nothing of it, he was about to delete it when the word “cosplay” caught his eye. He stopped himself and read the ad. It was about a cosplay cafe that was located not too far from where he lived. Excitement filling him up, he printed out the directions, grabbed his wallet, informed his mother where he was going, and left for his adventure to an actual cosplay cafe.

Even through making a few wrong turns and almost getting lost at least five times, he finally managed to find it. (y/n)’s heart thumped against his chest as he opened the door.

And there stood Konata cosplaying Haruhi Suzumia from “The Melencholy of Haruhi Suzumia.”

He could’ve sworn his heart stopped the instant he saw her.

“Welcome back master, won’t you come in?” she greeted with a wink.

“Uhhh, K-Konata?” (y/n) asked, his face growing redder by the second.

“Oh (y/n)! Hey! Great to see you outside of school! Let me show you to your table.”
(y/n) followed her into the cafe, where she pulled a chair out for him at a table for one.

“There you are! Now, are you gonna order or what!?” she suddenly asked sternly.

“Huh? But I don’t even have a menu.”

“It’s right there in front of you dummy.”

He looked and saw that the menu was indeed on the table already. He quickly scanned the drinks section and was glad when he saw they had his favorite soda.

“I’ll just have (favorite soda).”

“Hmm, simple drinks don’t interest me. Oh well, your brigade leader orders you to wait here!”

As she left to get his drink, (y/n) couldn’t help but to smile at her ability to be so in character, she even almost sounded like the character Haruhi, he can see why she was able to get the job. After getting his drink, (y/n) ordered a sandwich and a piece of cake, and while he ate, he watched the dance Konata performed with the other servers. When the dance was over, she walked over and sat at his table.

“Hey, how’d you like it here?” she asked.

“This place is really cool.”

“You like the performance?”

“Yeah! You looked so cute up there in your cosplay!”

Konata did a double take before her brain registered what (y/n) had said.

“Huh?” she said, a blush starting to form on his cheeks. (y/n) caught what he had just said and began to panic.

“Uhhh that’s to say . . . . I’m sorry!! I just . . . . I mean . . . . . I-I-I-I . . .”

Konata placed a finger against his lips, silencing his rant.

“Uh, did you mean that?” she asked, removing her finger.

(y/n) looked down at his lap as he answered, “Y-yeah.”

Konata smiled small at him, “Thanks. Hey, I bet you’d look cool in cosplay too!”

“Y-you think so?”

“Yeah!” a little light bulb went off in Konata’s head, “wait here!”

She rushed into the staff room and returned with what looked like to be a Kyon cosplay.

“Here! Try this on!”

“Eh!? But isn’t that only for employees?”

She simply waved it off, “Don’t sweat the small stuff, just try it on!!”

(y/n) sighed and decided it’s always best to go along with what Konata wanted. He took take cosplay to the bathroom where he changed, and when he came out, he was a blushing mess from all the attention he was getting from the customers as well as the staff. Konata was blushing as well, not expecting for him to look so good in it. He looked at her with a shy look, “Well?”

“You look great!!” she exclaimed.

“Heh heh, thanks.”

“You know what? This calls for a picture!”

“Huh?”

“Patty! Get the camera!”

“You got it!!”

As the two stood side by side for the picture, everyone in the cafe was officially
staring at them. Konata wasn’t fazed by this, since being stared at was part of the
job, (y/n) on the other hand was as nervous as heck. Patty got ready to snap the picture, when she took note of (y/n)’s stiff stature.

“Hey, just relax, you look like a real statue.”

“I-I can’t help it!”

“Konata, can you find a way to get him to relax?”

“I have just the thing!”

Konata wrapped her arms around (y/n)’s one, got onto her tip-toes, and planted a small kiss on his cheek. His mind went on vacation as Patty took the picture when she saw that his body went slightly limp from it’s original stiff stature. She giggled as the picture popped out from the camera, “Heh, this is so in character,” she comments, removing the picture from the slot and waiting for it to dry. (y/n) was still standing there motionless, standing in a daze with the biggest blush anyone has ever seen on his face.

“Uh-oh, Kona-chan, I think you broke him.”

“Eh? Uhhh . . . . (y/n)? You ok?” she asked, waving her hand in front of his face. A few moments passed by before (y/n) snapped out of it. The first thing he said was, “Y-you kissed me . . . .”

“Heh, maybe that wasn’t the best idea. Although something good came out of it.”

“And what would that be?”

Konata took the photo from Patty and examined it, she then showed it to him, “I got you to look twice as cute as you usually do,” she said with a wink. She held the photo out to him, “You want it?”

“Can I?”

As (y/n) reached for the photo, Konata pulled it out of his grasp for a minute, “If you take me out on a date, then maybe I can let you have it.”

It’s official, (y/n)’s face will be forever red from this point on. But he smiled through it and said, “Sure, why not?”

~0~

I can’t believe I’m going to my very first convention!! (y/n) thought excitedly as he sat on the train that was headed to comic con next to Konata. He was cosplaying as Kaito, the very cosplay that she got him for his birthday. She was also cosplaying as well, as Miku. Fans and professional photographers that have boarded the train have already begun to take pictures.

Over the last few months, (y/n) and Konata have been going out, he had met her dad (which was a little more then awkward), and even was hired at the cosplay cafe where she worked, they sure raked in the customers with their Haruhi and Kyon cosplay. Thanks to her endless energy and headstrong attitude, Konata was able to help him break out of his shell and he soon made friends of his own at the high school. He was forever grateful for that.

The train arrived at the con and they got off. For once, Konata wasn’t focused on getting manga this year, instead, her focus was spending time with her boyfriend and having fun. When they entered the building, they barely took ten steps when a photographer stopped them.

“Hey, mind if I take a picture?” he asked.

“No problem!” (y/n) said. With newly acquired confidence, he wrapped an arm around Konata’s waist, dipped her, and pressed his lips against hers for a full kiss. The cameras flashed like crazy.

Let the fanservice begin!!!
