Raekkuno Stories

Nightmares (Short Story)

AN: So yeah. I've just got a lot of really really short story ideas just flowing through my mind right now, so I figured why not just write them anyways and see how they go. 

They'll mostly just be really fluffy, few hundred word segments (maybe like tiny SMUT segments thrown in there) but regardless I hope you enjoy these! The few that I'm posting right now took me less than an hour to complete, so let me know what you think of these kinds of stories!

This one is significantly longer than the other ones for some reason but whatever.

Rae's POV:

Hey honey! I'm home!" I said as I came back from a very exhausting 100Thieves shoot. All I was looking forward to today was getting back home to my lovely boyfriend Sykkuno! I closed the door behind me as Sykkuno came downstairs. His facial expression always used to be this massive smile whenever I'd come home, but this time was different, his face stayed the same. He looked unphased, unbothered by my presence. I was so confused by this, I walked up to him with a puzzled expression written all over my face.

"Babe? Is there something wrong?" I said as I walked right up to him. I cupped his face in my hands, closed my eyes, and leaned in for a kiss, but suddenly felt his finger on my lips. I opened my eyes and saw that Sykkuno had his finger pressed against my lips, effectively stopping them. It was at that point that he spoke words that I never wanted him to say. Ever.

"I-I think we should break up..." He said, and my stomach twisted into knots upon hearing this. B-Breaking up? No! No that's impossible! We've been going so well, and for so long too! What?! There's no way! This has to be a joke or something! Just all some sick fucking joke! I refuse to believe that it isn't.

"Wh-What?! Syk, baby, I don't think you know what you're talking abou-"

"I'm not your baby!" He yelled at me. For the first time in our relationship, and by extension the first time in the history of me knowing him, he yelled at me. As in like genuine anger type yelling. I cowered in fear and he quickly composed himself. "Listen, Rae, I'm sorry for yelling. I didn't mean to yell like that. It's just... I've been holding this in for so long! For the past... I don't even know how many months I've done the same exact thing! I walk down those stairs, watch you come home from your shoot, you say 'hey honey! I'm home!', we kiss, and then we proceed to just stream separately for the rest of the day. This is insanity Rae! And It's time we put an end to this! Listen, it's nothing about you at all. I used to love that same exact routine happening over and over again! But now? Something about me has changed since then and I just... I just don't love you anymore! I'm sorry Rae but it's true!" He dumped it all on me and I couldn't handle it anymore. I just started balling my eyes out.

"No. You don't know what you're talking about! You still love me, right? Please? Please tell me you do right now! Say that you love me!" I yelled at him. Demanding him with much desperation for him to just drop the act and say the words that I wasn't ready to stop hearing from him. My answer only led to more disappointment and by extension more despair.

"I really wish I could Rae. You have no idea how much I'd love to still hold that way of thinking towards you. I mean, you're great! There's no changing that, but like I said, something has changed. This has nothing to do with you, it's all something I have to figure out. Your jokes that I always used to laugh at just ring hollow to me now. Our banter hasn't been the same as it once was for months now. And to top it all off our time in bed has been... lack luster to say the least. You're great and you're beautiful Rae, but even that is becoming difficult for me to genuinely say. So as much as it must hurt to hear, I don't know how else to say it. I've completely lost feelings for you." He said as he started heading for the door. He slipped on his shoes and I realized what was happening.
