"My Partner" | Shota. A x Black Reader

{07}

Previously....

"Hello welcome, table for how many?"

"We need to ask a few questions about one of your coworker's Mai Tanaka."

"E-Excuse me?" The hostess said looking a bit stunned "apologies, I'm Y/n L/n and Shota Aizawa, we're here because there's some missing cases we need to look in to and one of your coworkers are one of them" I said.

The hostess sighed and looked up "Mai hasn't shown up to work for a long time now" she said, she had a very concerned look on her face and if I wasn't working, I would have given her a giant hug, but I couldn't.

"When was the last time you saw her and did, she seemed to be actin strange" I asked as Shota pulled out a note pad "I think it's been six weeks, and she was looking tired and was mumbling to herself" Shota looked at me and I did the same to him "do you know she would say?" He asked, the hostess nodded and sighed "uh I believe she would say a name, uhm I think it was Youkai" I hummed then stopped Shota from writing anymore.

"Thank you for your time and help."

At that we left the shop going back in Shota's car

"We could've had gotten something to eat, wouldn't that have been nice?" I rolled my eyes at Shota as he got into the car "we're working Shota, no time for that" he sighed as he started the car, while he drove, I looked through the note pad he had written on, Youkai....Youkai, this seems to be odd.

I kept thinking about Mai and the other missing people, eventually we returned to my house, and we quickly went inside. Jasmine and Harmony were gone so it was just us, I honestly didn't think he would stay for long, but he did. We did some more research and after an hour or so, we decided to take a break.

"So, what now?" he asked as he followed me out of my office "I don't know Shota, um give me a moment" I said as I felt an uneasy feeling.

I slowly walked into my room seeing a mini flashback of William, I don't know why but it made me cry. This never happened before, why now am I thinking about this man after eight years? Is it Shota? Jasmine and Harmony might be right, I think I'm afraid to trust someone after what happened that night.

I sat on my bed just crying, eventually I heard Shota's footsteps coming to my room.

"Y/n do you–what's wrong?" He asked rushing towards me, he kneeled down putting his hands on my knees trying to get a good look of me, he took my hands, moving them away from my face.

"It's nothing Shota" I lied as wiped my eyes, he clicked his tongue and stood up pulling me into a hug.

"You're obviously lying, why would you be crying if nothing was wrong Y/n, seriously" he lifted my chin making me to look into his eyes, I simply shook my head and removed his hands.

"Y/n talk, I need you to trust me okay I'm not going to to hurt you I promise" I sighed and wiped my tears again.

"Fine, you wanna get to know me?"

I told him about my past relationship from those past years and told him how I saw him again two years ago and that he's the reason I don't drink.

After I stopped talking, Shota went quiet. I didn't know what to do at all "I shouldn't had told you" I said as I got up to walk away but he grabbed my hand and pulled me close.

"I was thinking, I'm sorry that that happened to you, whoever he is I'll make sure to know to give him a piece of my mind because he was stupid for treating you that way."

I hummed then slowly walked away.

"You hungry?"
