12 : ̗̀➛ forgive me

Lunch soon rolled around, students being free to go wherever for their meal. Y/n exited their class, mind wandering off to their conversation with Sabito earlier that morning. They sighed, maybe what he wanted to talk about had something to do with Giyu? They hoped so, just wanting some answers as to why their boyfriend was so distant.

Y/n decided they'd try and find Sabito and see if he'd talk now rather than after school, feeling far too anxious to wait. They walked around school for a bit before eventually spotting Sabito. They called out to him and he promptly turned to look at them, smiling and walking over.

"Hey, wanna get lunch with me?" Y/n asked.
"Sure." Sabito smiled.
The pair walked a bit before Sabito spotted Giyu farther up ahead, prompting for wrapping an arm around Y/n and turning them around.
"What are you doing?" Y/n asked.
"I uh forgot my sweater."
"But it's not even cold-"
"Really? Because I'm practically freezing, let's go!" Sabito cut them off, grabbing a hold of their hand and dragging them away as a remorseful and guilty Giyu watched.

The pair arrived to Sabito's classroom, entering to retrieve his sweater.
"Alrighty, let's go!"
"Wait," Y/n stopped Sabito from walking out.
"Can we talk? Y'know, you said there was something you wanted to tell me? Can't you do it now?" Y/n asked, staring at Sabito as he visibly tensed.

"No can do, not right now. We should go."
"Why are you acting like that? You're being weird." Y/n glared at him.
Sabito sighed.
"Alright, you want to talk? Let's talk, then." He said, making sure the door was closed and walked toward his desk, taking a seat.
"Giyu, he's..." Sabito started.
"He's what...?" Y/n asked skeptically, leaning against another desk.
"He's....fuck I can't do this." Sabito mumbled, covering his face with his hands.

"Hey, you're scaring me. What's going on? Did Giyu do something?" Y/n asked, anxiety starting to creep up.
"Fuck, I'm sorry. He- Giyu- I..." Sabito tried to calm down and took a deep breath before looking back up at Y/n, eyes boring into theirs.
"Giyu's been seeing Shinobu behind your back." He finally confessed.

"He-" Y/n cut themselves off, trying to process what their friend had just revealed.
"He what?" They asked in disbelief.
"I'm sorry, Y/n. I'm so sorry. The truth is, he didn't even really have any feelings for you. He just accepted your confession in hopes of not hurting you. I knew about that for a while as well and I didn't tell you, I'm sorry." Sabito said.
Y/n looked down at the ground, not sure what to believe.
"I made him promise me he wouldn't hurt you, told him he had to tell you if he didn't have any feelings for you by today and to break it off. I just didn't want you to get hurt more than you had to. But then, he went and- and he- he kissed Shinobu, being fully aware it would hurt you if you found out." Sabito said, not being able to look his friend in the face.

"I'm sorry. I should've told you the moment I found out his feelings weren't genuine but I didn't, I was scared. I hope you can forgive me."
Y/n stayed silent for some time before eventually speaking.
"How do I...how do I know you're telling the truth?" They asked.
Sabito silently stood up, pulling out his phone and showing Y/n the numerous texts between himself and Giyu.

Y/n didn't say anything, instead allowing the tears that slowly glided down their face to speak for them. Sabito looked at them, feeling guilty albeit he wasn't the one who directly cheated on them, he still was at fault for not telling them sooner. In hopes of providing some comfort for Y/n, Sabito leaned in closer to wrap his arms around them and being surprised when Y/n pushed him away.

Y/n stared at him in shock at their own actions, their eyes slowly turning red from crying.
"Fuck, sorry, I just- I need time." They said before hastily making their way out of the classroom.

The door closed with a harsh bang, causing Sabito to grumble.
"This is stupid..."
