dear you ..:*☆ (raiden shogun x female reader)

9. make up

You held a slight grudge towards Ei for her actions for few days after the party, going back to sleep in the same room shared with Lumine and Paimon. You weren't giving her the silent treatment, but you gave her far less attention.

"You had it coming," Miko said. Ei had gone to her for advice about you. She knew she messed up big time, and she needed to get back your trust.

"I know one thing that might work," she cunningly said, slightly confusing Ei who crossed her arms.

"Let's hear it then."

You were walking to the Sakura tree, looking for Lady Miko at the Grand Narukami Shrine. You felt bad that you ran out and caused a scene on her big day, so you wanted to apologize. Your recalling of the events didn't last long when you felt an arm placed around your shoulders, someone pulling you close. It was Miko herself.

"Hi, [name]. You've come to see me?"

"Actually I have," you admitted. You kept walking forward as her arm remained on your right shoulder, slightly moving from time to time as the both of you kept walking.

"I wanted to apologize for causing a scene at the party," you said, "It was uncalled for, and I let my emotions get the best of me. I'm so-"

You were interrupted mid apology by a loud laugh coming from Miko, who wasn't angry about the situation.

"[Name], I knew Ei was trying to make you jealous and that there would be a clash of feelings eventually. She should be apologizing, not you."

"Still, I was the one who ran out." You finally stopped walking, turning to face Miko. She did the same.

"I promise you, it's no big deal. I'm not one for parties anyway. By the way, have you spoken to Ei recently?"

Her question caught you a bit off guard, most likely because you didn't enjoy talking about her at the moment.

"No, I haven't."

"I know what she did was wrong," Miko started, "But if she tries to talk to you today, just give her a chance."

"Why?" You weren't exactly sure why you asked her this, but you felt that she held some involvement in the situation.

"Because she wants to make it up to you. Trust me."

"Okay," you replied, "But only because it came from you."

As soon as those words left your mouth, you saw Ei approaching you from your side. Miko swiftly left the scene as if she was anticipating something.

"[Name]," Ei eagerly said.

"What?" You irritatedly asked, wanting to leave already.

"I know I messed up," she started, "I can make it up to you, I swear."

"How?"

"Meet me in my room tonight."

This definitely caught you off guard, considering what you two did there a week ago. You were skeptical of what she planned to do, but you went along with it so she'd stop sulking around. It had gotten old with everyone nagging you about the situation.

"Fine," you said. "What will you do?"

"That's a surprise," she replied with an ever so slight smile. You had to admit, it made you happy to have her smiling at you again. She began walking away, turning the corner with a sprint to tell Miko the news.

Dinner time came around, and you decided to eat with Kamisato Ayaka. You met her at the party, after being introduced by Lumine. She was incredibly sweet, and the poor girl opened up to you about wanting more friends. Because she was the sister of Kamisato Ayato, the head of the clan, people only wanted to use her for her status. You assured her you cared nothing about that, instantly relieving her.
