Unintentional Love (Chuuya x Reader)

Emotional Turmoil

Before you knew it your shift was over and you immediately began to head towards Lupin's bar after changing out of your uniform.

I can't believe I'm letting myself get so excited to see Chuuya again.

Opening the doors to the bar I could feel my heartrate increase in anticipation to see him sitting there at the bar. When I fully opened the doors there he was, wine in hand, as if knowing it was me he looked up from his glass smiling. "Glad to see you came." I take a seat next to him and order myself a drink.

"Of course I came, I wasn't done talking with you today." The bartender brought me my drink and I immediately down almost half of it.

"Wow, you're drinking for real today I see. I feel like I should be the one drinking that heavily after the job I went through today. I swear some of the people I get assigned with are incompetent. The dumbasses."

"What happened this time?" I didn't give him the chance to answer before continuing, "Ya know if you're this unhappy with your job why don't you quit?" I finish the last half of my drink and order another.

"It's not that easy, I'm devoted to my boss, he's one of the best bosses I've ever met...it's just some of the people he hires are real pieces of work. I know why he hires them and I agree with his reasoning, I just wish some of them had better training."

"Maybe offer them more training or I don't know ask your boss about it, if he's as great of a boss as you say, he should understand why you're asking him." The bartender brings me my second drink.

"Knowing the boss it wouldn't be so easy asking him like that...well enough about work I actually wanted to ask how you're feeling." He looks at me with concern in his eyes.

I tilt my head quizzically "What do you mean? I'm fine."

"Well, I know talking about the past can bring up unwanted emotions, so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't bringing back bad emotions."

"Oh...yeah that" I chuckle to myself looking into my half empty glass.

Why is it so much harder to lie about how I'm feeling to him right now.

"It's okay to admit when you're hurting." I feel the warmth from his gloved hand on top of my own, and when I look into his ocean blue eyes he has such a kindness in them that I can't help but feel my own start to tear up. It's as if he found all the hidden sadness I've been keeping to myself.

God I can't cry in front of him, no one needs to see me cry.

I quickly get up pulling my hand out from under his, and pay the bartender, "Sorry I've got to go, I'll see you later Chuuya." I walk out as fast as I can.

"(y/n) wait!" I hear him call out to me.

I know if I wait for him all of these emotions I've been holding in will come spilling out, and I just can't let myself be that vulnerable...I can't handle getting my emotions stomped on again.

I walk out onto the street desperate to get back to the apartment.

"I said wait dammit!" Chuuya was still walking after me.

Why is he even following me-

Interrupting my thoughts, I felt my arm being tugged back and my body being pulled towards Chuuya. The shock of the moment stopped me from fighting back and before I knew it I was in his arms. "Why are you running from me?"

I can't find a way to formulate any words, my brain is working overtime trying to stop these emotions from surfacing, but his embrace was the final straw and I just start crying. I pull my arms around him and let all these pent-up emotions out.
