Close to You || Chifuyu Matsuno

Chapter 22

Warning: Abuse

Chifuyu walked up the stairs, carrying the heavy wooden box with a smile on his face. The first time him and Amaya were in your apartment, he noticed in one of your sketchbooks that your latest drawings were all black and white. He wondered what was the reason behind it, but Amaya managed to find it out, so now he knew how he could repay you for his tattoo.

Just when he was about to reach the sixth floor, he saw that your door just closed. He frowned, but then thought that maybe you went over to Ian's to talk to him.

Chifuyu quickly walked to his door and opened it, carrying the box to the coffee table. He looked at it, trying to decide if he should bring it over to you or invite you over. He sat down and opened it, looking at the pencils, running his fingers over them.

He smiled again, picturing your pretty face lighting up when he gives it to you.

His heart jumped at the image, and he quickly stood up walking to the door. He's gonna invite you over and either he's gonna cook for you or order some food.

A second knock could be heard and you looked at Noa in worry. If he's gonna go and answer the door and sees another man looking for you, he's gonna get angry.

Noa was kneeling before you motionless, but he had an iron grip on your upper arms. He was staring at the door, trying to decide if he should go and see who it was.

Maybe it's just some of your neighbors, or maybe it was a man?

Were you seeing someone?

"Who is it?" he asked, looking back at you, with a small frown on his face.

You stared back at him with wide eyes. You didn't want to tell him, but you didn't want to lie to him either.

You shook your head a little and shrugged your shoulders. You just hoped Chifuyu would think that you've fallen asleep and goes away.

You didn't want to get him in trouble.

Noa narrowed his eyes a little, trying to see if you were hiding something.

Chifuyu frowned when you didn't open the door after the second knock. You knew he was coming back, and he knew you already finished bathing, because you just shut your door when he was coming up the stairs.

He became worried. What if you were having another panic attack?

He quickly raised his fist and knocked for the third time.

"Y/N, are you okay?"

Your breath caught in your throat when you heard Chifuyu's voice. You saw as Noa's eyes darkened and a snarl left his mouth as he suddenly stood up, looking at you angrily. He turned to go for the door, but you stood up too and grabbed his arm, trying to pull him back.

"No, Noa, please, he's just a..."

Noa turned back around, grabbed your arm with one of his hands while he put his other one on your mouth.

His eyes were flaming, and he looked like he was about to explode from the rage.

"You stay here, understood?" he said in a low tone, and pushed you back on the couch roughly.

You pulled your legs up and buried your face in your hands, trying to hold back your sobs.

You looked up from behind your fingers, seeing as he stormed over to your door. He suddenly stopped when he reached it, and ran his hand through his hair, letting out a big sigh.
