Fate & Fury * Mitsuya x Reader

Chapter 44

You were normally very put together. You could do anything you set your mind to with a level of either grace, fury or nonchalance...

But this?

You were struggling.

Your hands shook as you paced in the garage of the shop. Everyone else was still in the front, Mikey, Kazutora and Takemitchy making origami in your room.

All while you wanted to cry.

You didn't want to make him cry again.

You clearly remembered the tears he shed at the Bloody Halloween. How devastated he was over Baji's 'death'. 

When you had met up with the others to exchange Baji and Kazutora under the bridge afterwards you had convinced yourself that this was the best course of action. And maybe it was...

It didn't make this situation any easier. In the end, you had still made him cry.

And he'll probably cry again and it will only hurt you further.

Hopefully he won't hate you. Maybe he'd even thank you, if you're lucky.

This was difficult. It was easier with the others, but you couldn't NOT tell Mitsuya.

'No more stalling!' You growled out to yourself. 

You told Mikey you'd call. You had to. If you didn't then it could create distance between you and Mitsuya and that was unacceptable. 

You didn't quite know how you'd react if Mitsuya hated you.

Oh no! You didn't want to think about it.

You sucked it up and pressed the call button on the razor.

One ring--

"Hello?"

'He answered so fast! What do I do?!'

"Hello? [y/n]-chan?"

'Eeeeekkkk oh god, okay.'

"Ah, y-yes, hello, Mitsuya-kun!"

He chuckled and the sound vibrated into your ear and you swooned. What the hell was wrong with you?

"Is there anything I can help you with?" He asked and you knew he asked with a smile, because he was sweet and perfect and-- you were stalling again.

Just say it.

"Y-yea, um, haha..." You trailed off and what the fuck? You were supposed to be an adult, right? A hardened gangster. A killer yakuza... not some blustering prepubescent child in love.

"Are you alright?" He asked worriedly. Because of course he did, you sounded like a fool! and he was kind and caring.

You sighed, "Yare yare, I hadn't expected it would be this hard..."

There was a moment of silence over the phone.

"What do you mean?"

You tugged your lower lip between your teeth, "I'm just going to come out and say it now so don't repeat out loud what I'm going to tell you--" You took a deep breath, Mitsuya deserved your honesty, "Baji is alive, okay?"
