I Hate You (Heizou x fem!reader)

Lies

I washed my face and fixed my face up.

'C'mon (Y/n), you have to toughen up! Everything in this world isn't supposed to be hunky dory! People change...you've changed yourself. You can't control the past or other people.' I said to my reflection, 'You can't control his actions.'

I made sure that I didn't look like I had been crying. I walked outside the lady's bathroom and prepared myself to go and handle Heizou. I just hope that he has enough of a moral compass to know to stay out of my business and not ask about my past with Tomo. Maybe he doesn't even know Tomo's name and just thinks he's some mystery guy! I was walking towards where I had left Heizou to see that he wasn't there anymore. Where did he go? Maybe he's in the breakroom like a slacker. I sighed, walking there to see he wasn't there either. I raised a brow. Where did he go?

I was about to ask someone when I heard him call me

'(Y/n)! There you are!' he said

I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at him.

'Where were you?' I asked him bluntly

'Uh...somewhere.' he muttered

'Define "somewhere"' I said, looking into his eyes

'Where were you?' he said, trying to put this on me instead of him

'The bathroom.' I said confidently, 'You didn't answer my question. Where were you, Heizou?'

'I was also in the same bathroom.'

'What? You were in the-' I screamed

'W-wait, that isn't right...I-I was inside the bathroom toilet.'

'WHAT?!' my voice cracked

'Wait, uh, no! I was...WHATEVER!' he yelled with his cheeks red from embarrassment

I stared at him in disbelief. How did he pass college? No, wait, how did he even pass grade school? Even the kids at the day care I used to work at could make a better excuse than this guy.

'Wow...even the kids in preschool could make a better excuse than you can.' I said out loud

Shit! Did I say that out loud

'T-That's not true!' he said. 'I'm just too honest to lie.'

'Everyone lies at some point, Heizou...no one can not lie.' I stated, 'I bet as a kid you would also have made a stupid excuse to get outta trouble.'

'I have never lied ever!' he said, crossing his arms.

I rolled my eyes when he squinted at my face.

'What?' I asked

'Have you been crying?' he asked, squinting with his eyes softening with concern.

Heizou's POV

I looked at her face clearly. I could see her (e/c) eyes were dulled and puffy. She must have been crying. She froze the moment I asked her whether she was crying or not. She quickly averted her eyes from my face.

'Of course not! I don't cry over anything. I don't do crying! You should get your eyes checked.' she huffed quickly while crossing her arms.

'Then why are your eyes puffy and red?' I asked with an eyebrow raised. 'Those are clear signs of someone's eyes after they have been crying.'

'I-I haven't been crying! I had dust in my eyes! That's why they were watering! I'm not crying!' she said quickly, wiping her eyes angrily.

'There isn't any dust here.' I said bluntly

'You don't know that! Whatever...let's get to work. You can go research and analyze the phone record way over there while I analyze the pictures over there.' she said, pointing to two extreme opposites of the room. 'So I don't need to handle being around you!'

She said everything sweetly, but I could tell she was being sarcastic.

'But where are the phone re-'

'What do you think I was getting while you were the "toilet in the lady's bathroom."' she said, smirking at me

I looked at her in disbelief. She's never going to let me forget this one ever is she?

'How d-did you?' I managed

'It's called a hustle, sweetheart~' she cooed while flicking my forehead. 'Which you clearly never ever have done before.'

I winced a bit in pain.

'Ow!' I yelled, rubbing the place she flicked it.

'Now get to work, or do I have to do that for you too?' she asked with a raised eyebrow.

She turned around, leaving me staring at her. Wow...I have never seen anyone leave me that speechless before. She's good. I might have some competition after all. I walked up to where all of the information and phone records were kept. I don't know, but a part of me felt bad for lying to her about the archives. While she was in the bathroom, I was busy in the archives. Searching for who "Tomo" really was. Now it was positive that (Y/n) was connected to her somehow. And this definitely was a sensitive topic.

I stared at the case file I found on Tomo. I wanted to open it so bad right now, but there would be a huge probability of (Y/n) finding out. She'd hate me if she knew that I was snooping around her life, but then again, she says that she already hates me. She's just in denial that she was madly in love with me heh.

I opened the phone records file. There were lists of multiple phone calls, but they were scattered and unorganized. I bet (Y/n) left it like this to spite me.

'Unfortunately for you, Princess. I'm a Master Detective. This is child's play.' I said to myself with a smirk as I started sorting everything out.

(Y/n)'s POV

Ah, that felt good, spiting him by letting all the phone records be mixed up. Now he'll struggle with that for a good while. I held up the pictures from the crime scene again. Heizou had taken the liberty to circle every place Tomo was in each picture. He used a red marker too. It felt more painful, like the photo was mocking me. Telling me that my older brother figure, who was missing for so many years, was actually alive and a criminal. If he's involved...that would mean I would have to arrest him at a point. I felt myself crumble the picture from my death grip. I would have to do the thing I would dread the most. Hurting my best friend. He was doing so well. He was happy and now...I would have to be the monster...I would have to arrest his brother.
