My Muse || READER X RAY || The Promised Neverland

⭐ My Muse || Chapter 106

I heard the loud whacks of a punching bag from outside the building. I peeked into the window, watching Ray's sweaty back hop back and forth, forcefully jabbing a red bean bag hanging from the ceiling. He looked... upset... But I walked inside quietly regardless. I just missed him so much. "Hey..." I called from the doorway. He glanced at me with his right eye, scoffing. his attention went back to the punching bag, throwing his fists a with a little more strength. Whack whack. Whack. I stepped behind him, grazing his shoulders with my fingertips. He hesitated, stopping mid punch. "What do you want?" "To talk to you..." I whispered, hugging his waist. He pulled himself away, glaring at me. "You've done that, so leave." 

I didn't know how to feel. I was upset that he was treating me so coldly, yet angry that he'd act like this after what I went through to save him. I decided on being confused. 

"W- What's wrong? Ray?" He pulled his gloves off, throwing them onto the floor. The dim lights of the gym reflected off the beads of sweat running down his chiseled chest. "Don't- Don't call me that." "So what do I call you? Sleepy Cyclops? 81194? Angry little boy that doesn't appreciate what I did for him?" He threw his hands in the air, laughing. "What you did for me? You mean sleep around with boys that gave you more than five minutes of attention?" He... He didn't just say that... right? He grabbed his hoodie, pulling it over his head. "I thought I was special. I thought you liked me. But no, you're with Yuugo, you're with Zack, and now you're with Norman? You're cheap, y/n." This was unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I quite literally couldn't believe my ears. "Are you calling me a slut?" He shrugged carelessly. "Your words, not mine." My voice started to break as I glared at him tearfully. "I- I cried for you... I cried for you every fucking day I thought you were gone... I've never slept with Yuugo. I- I never had sex with Zack or Norman... Y-you were my o- only one Ray... I- I thought... You would be happy to see me... I thought you w-were worried about me..." His expression suddenly washed over with guilt and regret. "N- no, y/n... I- Of course I was worried about you- I'm- I'm- so-" "That's enough." Norman pulled my shoulders, letting me fall into his chest. I didn't want to talk to Ray anymore. I sobbed into his white tuxedo, allowing him to escort me away. 

"I'm sorry, y/n." He said, laying me down on his couch. I covered my face with my arm, heart pounding out of my chest. His slender fingers wrapped around mine, pulling my hand away from my eyes. "Tissue, y/n?" I nodded, taking the one he offered. Norman sat by my side for the rest of the day, squeezing my fingers and comforting me. "He'll come around, y/n... Just don't force yourself to talk to someone who hurts you like this..." I mumbled an 'okay', pulling him into a hug. "Thank you, Norman... For being there for me..." His face went hot in my shoulder, squeezing me tightly. "No, thank you, y/n."
