Sorry for the wait, lol! I lost Motivation for a bit, but i took an IRL vacation, and my motivation is coming back!

-------------------

And oh my god- this fanfic has so many reads- like- what happened? Howw????????

------------------------

   Back in the cottage, the setting sunlight shone through the drawn curtains, slightly dimmed by the fabric of them. After scraping your knee, you had left the group of your peers in the ancient ruins, even shoving Fuyuhiko away from you as he tried to help you from your fall. 

   You knew you may have been a bit harsh- even with what he did to Nagito. Sure, the boy was a fucking psychopath, but he still didn't need to be tortured like that. Tied up in the old building, all alone.

  Just then the door clicked open as you dabbed your knee with the rag you grasped in your hand. The blood had yet to stop, but it didn't sting anymore, and you took what you could get.

"What the fuck was all that?" His voice grumbled as he shut the door behind him, clearly still upset by your outburst.

---------------------------------------------

You sighed, turning around and fiddling with the walls.

"Hey, the fuck are you doing?" Fuyuhiko asked.

"Checking for weak spots in the walls. A building as old as this has to have a weak spot in the walls somewhere- shit!" You gasped as you sat up from the ground, clutching your knee.

Fuyuhiko lurched forward, reaching for your bleeding knee. "Hey, let me see-"

"No," You swatted him away, standing on you own. "I'm gonna go back to the cottage and fix it up myself, okay? Fuck off."

Everyone stared at you.

"What?"

"Nothing," Chiaki replied, and Fuyuhiko couldn't muster a word as you stumbled away.

   --------------------------------------------

You shook your head, sucking on the inside of your cheek without answering.

Fuyuhiko's eyes flicked over to you as he tossed his keys to the table after locking the door. "You're pitchin' a fit about something, and you ended up getting hurt-"

Standing up, you made your way to the sink and turned the faucet on, running the rag under the water. The water was hot, and it stung your skin, though not enough to burn. Steam left the sink as the water rained down into the bowl of it.

"Are you even listening to me?" He asked, furrowing his brows.

"Not really."

He sighed, and you looked up at him through the mirror. He was pinching the bridge of his nose with his middle and index fingers, squeezing his eyes shut in frustration.

"Hey," he started. "Let's see... What the hell are you so angry about, Y/n?"

"You know what I'm upset about, dick," You huffed, still rinsing the rag. "Don't act so clueless."

"Oh, you're calling me the dick? You've been acting like a bitch since you left the diner!"

"Don't turn this shit on me, Kuzuryu! This is on you!"

"How!? What the fuck did I do!?"

"You tied up Nagito!"

Fuyuhiko froze. "Who the hell-.... Kazuichi...."

You turned to face him, dabbing the soaked rag against your knee again. 

"That goddamned motherfucker, I'll-"

"It wasn't his fault. I slammed his head against the wall, he had no choice," you sighed, cutting him off.

The yakuza blinked, not moving for a moment before eventually groaning and burying his face in his hands. "Y/n, of all the things you could be pissed off about, you chose this one. He's a fucking psychopath, dumbass!"

You shook your head. "I don't care. We all need to stay together, a much as I hate to admit it. Tying him up? That's too far."

"It was justified, Y/n." Fuyuhiko stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Oh, bullshit! If it was so justified, why didn't you trust me enough to tell me about it, hm?"

Fuyuhiko opened his mouth to say something before looking away. "I- it doesn't fucking matter. "We need to figure this shit out, we fight like a damn married couple."

You froze, holding a bandage over your scrape as his words sank in. ".... We are a couple... Aren't we?"

Fuyuhiko looked at you, holding your gaze as he swallowed. His face looked bothered- like he regretted saying that but also didn't.

It's not that you wanted him to buy you chocolates and roses or anything, you just thought that the two of you were a couple... Especially considering the- things- you two had done. He had yet to say anything and your heart was pounding as you awaited confirmation of a relationship.

   "Uhm-" Fuyuhiko coughed, clearing his throat as he got up from the bed. "How's your knee?"

You blinked as he took the bandage from your hands and kneeled in front of you. That was quick change of subject... But you decided not to bother him anymore about it. After all, he was already upset about your outburst earlier.

The cold fabric of the bandage made you shiver as he wrapped it around your knee very slowly. He was gentle, and his touch was tender. However, his eyes looked far away, like he was trying to escape from the thoughts of his own mind.

*Ding dong bing bong*

   "Ahem.... Hope's Peak Academy School Trip Executive Committee has an announcement to make... Emergency! Emergency! Students, head over to Jabberwock Park as fast as you can! Whoever gets there first, I'll treat you to my special made curry rice tomorrow night!"

You and Fuyuhiko looked at each other, the uncomfortable atmosphere morphing into a worried one. Fuyuhiko lowered his head, using his teeth to tear the bandage and grabbing the tape you had gotten out to secure it.

"Should we-"

"What the hell else would we do?" He asked.

You didn't answer and he turned around, grabbing the keys and unlocking the door, letting you follow him out.

To Jabberwock Park you go...
