But now he's playing with your head~ Ayato x Gn!reader

"God will you stop being so clingy!"

 T/W- Arranged marriage, angst, forced marriage, yelling, no comfort 

The ceremony was over, you were officially married to ayato. Not that you really wanted to be, but you had no choice. It was an arranged marriage and this was only for the good of your family. And only for that. In public you were expected to act like a couple, but behind closed doors it was different. He was cold hearted, rarely showed you affection, somehow you fell for him.

There were rare moments where it did seem like he really loved you. The few times he held your hand in public, or when he cooked you dinner. Or even when he rubbed your hair. What the hell was he doing to you? He was playing with your head. You hated him and despised the marriage, but then at the same time, you had a soft spot.

About a year after the marriage, he had become a little more open, but still far off what you had hoped for in a husband. You had kissed him, but it had only been for the public. And never again in private.

"God will you stop being so clingy!" You had tested your luck by asking for a hug.

"I just wanted a hug ayato."

"Yeah well I don't, god I hate you. Your a burden on me."

Maybe this marriage wasn't working? Maybe he really did hate you.

"Oh..." Tears started to form. "I'm sorry..."

You walked away quickly, heading toward your bedroom, not a shared one. Just yours. You both slept seperate, he didn't seem to mind, but you just wanted human contact. All you wanted was to be loved. To be hugged. To be kissed like you mattered to someone.

What the hell were you doing here. He didn't love you, he said so himself. Maybe it was time to leave.

You walked out of the room, ready to face your husband. But you found him curled up in the corner, he seemed to be crying?

"Ayato?"

He quickly looked up, meeting your eyes for a spilt second. Then quickly standing up and brushing himself off.

He cleared his throat, "oh um y/n what are you doing here."

"Nevermind me. Are you alright?" You started to walked closer. He almost seemed like an injured animal, you tried to move slowly as not to startle him.

"I'm perfectly alright." He eyes still sparkled with tears

"No your not your crying."

"Nonsense. I'm not crying."

Slowly you walked towards him and then wrapped him in a hug. You made sure to be loose about it so he could leave anytime he wanted. But he didn't. He stayed. He wrapped his arms around you tighter. You'd never seen this side of him before.

"I'm sorry I said all those things. I was stressed and upset and..."

"It's fine."

You held him closer and began to run your hand through his hair.

This became a repeat, Ayato would say things he 'regreated' then seek comfort from you. Still you slept in seperate bedrooms, but he always seemed to put up a front in public. 2 years you had been going through this. Why were you still here? You had been asking yourself that the whole time. You had lost that soft spot for him a while ago, but for some reason you still held on. Maybe it was for your family's sake.

But you couldn't keep living like this.
