Detectable Rivalry~ Heizou x fem!reader

⁂ Solved ⁂

In the distance you saw a figure come into view. Your feet just kept going. 'H-Heizou..' You shout as you recognise his hair being brushed by the wind as he turns to face you.

'Heizou..what's going on?' You keep running up to him. He doesn't answer and just looks down. You wrap your left over his neck and use your right to turn his body forward.  Hugging him in an instant, burrowing your head in his shoulder. He tensed for a moment, but you felt his body relax and his arms snake around your waist, hugging you back.

You pull away and notice tears in his eyes. 'Heizou..w-whats wrong?' You wipe away the droplets and smile. He just stands there in reply. 'Look..i'm sorry. But i need to know what's going on.' You ask, sternly. He smiles a bit before opening his mouth. 'I'm just..i'm just getting ahead of myself. It's nothing.' He replies. 'Shikanoin Heizou. I was not born yesterday, alright?' You grab his face before continuing. 'Is it because of Aether?' A tear slowly runs onto your fingertip. Your heart sinks. 'Please..Please don't cry. He's a friend. He's not as close as you are, alright?' He hesitates before nodding and pulling away.

The two of you made you way home, talking mindlessly.  You instantly get ready for bed, every memory, every moment flashing in your mind. He never gave me a reason as to why he was crying..

'Hey..Y/n, i'm sorry about that.' Heizou peeks into your bedroom as you finish tidying up. 'Again? You've said sorry five times now. It's alright, it's perfectly fine to show your feelings!' You exclaim, smiling at him. He nods and says goodnight. Something still seems odd.

Heizou's POV

I could hear her words replay in my head. 'He's not as close as you are, alright?'

She didn't feel the same way and it's blatantly obvious. How could i even let myself be so open to myself on how i was feeling? I was so reckless.

I head to her bedroom to apologise. 'Hey..Y/n, i'm sorry about that.' I mention. She smiles at me. That smile. It gets me every time. 'it's perfectly fine to show your feelings!' I didn't quite catch what she said before, but what id did what made my stomach flip.

If it's perfectly fine to show my feelings, how come i couldn't tell you how i feel for you. How i want you to be mine.

I leave and walk to my room. As soon as i shut the door, tears fall again. My throat dries up as i try so hard to silence my cries. My eyes begin to become numb from the excessive wiping with my hands. I bite down on my lip to stop it from quavering and it begins to bleed. She doesn't feel the same way. She never fucking will.

Y/n's POV

When i wake up, a sense of emptiness surrounds the room. I get up and walk to the main living space and see a written note on the table.

Ive gone to give the note from yesterday's meeting to Kujou Sara. I'll be back later.

-Shikanoin Heizou

'Why with the formalities, huh?' I whisper and fold up the note. 'Why would he go alone? We are meant to be partners? And nonetheless, he's meant to be a friend? Surely we would work together?' I continue ranting, before taking a shower and getting ready for the day.

Leaving the house, i have straight for the Tenryou Commission Headquarters to look for Heizou. I can't find him straight away, because whenever i ask a guard, they always seem to ignore me or give me dry answers.

Ten minutes pass by and i spot a certain cranberry-haired boy leave an office. 'Heizou!' I shout over, running up to him. There's not a spark in his eye anymore, no mirrored excitement. He just looks me up and down. 'I thought we were going to go together?' You pout, crossing your arms. 'I had nothing to do, so i might as well spend some time doing something important.' He keeps his hands in his pockets and stares at you. You recall the memories from last night. Furrowing your brow, you follow after him as he walks off.

'Heizou what is up with you?' You grab his hand and spin him around. He bites his lip a little, before taking a breath. 'Nothing. I'm fine.'
'Oh don't give me that bullshit. I thought everything was resolved after yesterda-' As you try to continue, you spot a man stealing from a local vendor in the city streets. Heizou looks down at your hand, firmly grasped around his wrist, and you let go. He runs after the culprit before tackling him to the ground.

Once the paperwork was filled out by bothe Heizou and the Stree Vendor, you ask him to follow you to a tree. The very same tree you first hung out at. The very same tree where you fell asleep on his shoulder. The very same tree where you realised you felt something for the detective. It's been a while since then.

'Y/n, i'm telling you, nothings wrong.' You sit down and he follows suit. You roll your eyes again, pointing as he deadpans you. 'Heizou i'm a detective for crying out loud, somethings bothering you. What is it?' You cross your arms and look at him.

'What if i told you that..i had..no it's-it's stupid.' He tried to finish himself from speaking before you ushered him on.
'Fine. What if someone i...took an interest to, had i don't know..friendzoned me.. look i know it's dumb and everything but i guess it just kinda bummed me out.' Your world flew upside down. He liked someone else? You were getting ahead of yourself?

'O-oh..right.' You subtract your focus from Heizou and onto the ever-roaring seas. 'A..are you sure your fine?' Your voice cracked a little, but you played it off. He nods and you return a smile. 'Shall we get going then?' He asks, standing up. 'Yeah..i guess so.'
