Safe Haven || Kurokawa Izana

chapter 7

You almost covered your ears because of the unpleasant loud music inside the club. You frowned, Seriously why the hell am I here? You thought and glanced at Ran who's currently pouring you a drink with his eyes that are telling you to have fun while he's moving his head along the beat, vibing into it.

A few hours ago...

"What do you mean clubbing, Ran?" You asked confused, while Ran is in front of you with his handsome and smiling face. It has been two weeks since you are staying in their house and Ran even bought clothes for you or you will always wear his clothes because he won't let you wear Rindou's.

"Let's go clubbing. It's been two weeks but you're still constantly spacing out. You need some new environment, babe." He said and twirl your hair on his fingers. He really likes playing with your hair, the feeling of it tangling around his fingers feels nice and you are already used to it.

You just closed your eyes, feeling it and uttered, "And a club would help me with that, you say?"

"Yeah, and why don't you find a replacement?" He said casually making you look at him. I thought, he likes me..? You thought while looking at him making him look back at you. Your eyes met and he tilted his head in an adorable manner.

"Yes babe? Why are you staring at me?" He asked, confused because you are looking at him with a hopeful gaze.

"Nothing." You replied and averted your gaze but he realized what you were thinking of and a soft smile formed on his lips. She is still worrying about herself but look at her being considerate of me. He leaned on your shoulder, "Why? Are you thinking about my confession?"

"W-What n—"

"That makes me happy then, if you're really thinking about it. But I'm afraid that you might not like me. That's why just find another one. Divert your attention. As long as you are happy, I don't mind" He sincerely said and caressed your cheeks. You were just silent, you never heard those words to anyone, not everyone from Izana.

His was, We are always happy as long as we're together, y/n. You reminisced and looked at Ran, he is the only one who considered your being first.

"I'm fine as long as you'll be fine. Don't worry about it." Ran said that made you lean on him. You bit your lower lip, "Why didn't I meet you sooner? I should have just grown up with you instead..."You mumbled as tears fell from your eyes. You are sure that if you have met him first, you don't have to be tormented like this.

Ran wrapped his arms around you and caressed your back. "Then just use me to forget about him. I'll prefer it if you use me." He said seriously. Call him crazy but he's desperate, he never felt this way towards anyone before but there is something about you that he wants to protect.

"N-No... How can I do that? Why would you say that?" You said while clutching his shirt. You're feeling bad for Ran, why would he choose to be like this? He's so handsome and he looks like he can get any woman he wants. Why would he choose a broken woman like you? You just don't get him.

"Then just go clubbing with me and forget about your worries. Hm?" He offered because he doesn't want to drink with you at home. He might take advantage of you or force himself on you when he gets drunk. He's afraid of that. Like what happened last time and he regrets it, But while clubbing, there are many diversions. He won't focus on you, well that's what he thought.

Present...

"Come on, y/n. Why are you so stiff?" Ran chuckled at you while you two are currently dancing, well just him, you're just frowning at Ran. You stepped on his foot and glared at him, he deserves that for insulting your dancing skills.
