Traitor (Renji Yomo x Reader) [Continued in a second book!]

Investigations Begin

Two weeks full of pain passed by.

I moved back in with Renji. He still slept on his couch though, we never really had a talk about our relationship but I felt like he knew. He knew I wanted to go slower and he respected that.

Anyway, my stomach was a complete mess. Nothing - and I mean nothing - wanted to stay inside it. It was simply impossible for me to eat. Kanous pills seemed to be completely irrelevant when it comes to these problems. I went back to taking them but they didn't help that problem, nor did they make it worse.

Anyway, not wanting anyone to know I still went to work and still attended classes when it was necessary. Hell, the only person that knew was Renji.. At least I told no one else.

And he has been doing everything for me ever since.

He was being such a sweetheart - a sweetheart that could definitely read my mind.

While he seemed to be the tall, bulky, muscular moody white-head, he was actually being incredibly kind and gentle. To be honest it still surprised me to see that he had a gentle side.. Even though I should be used to it by now - especially since we've technically been dating before.. I just don't remember it yet.

Renji also managed to talk to Yoshimura one afternoon after his work.

He agreed on giving Renji more free time in the future to make sure I was safe - so that simple talk lead to Renjis last day at work. Of course he wasn't fired or anything but like.. He was put on pause. Renji just told me he had to leave on some evenings to do something for Anteiku and that, that was basically his new job. At first I really didn't like that idea but once he told me I could join him, I was fine with it.

Being able to spend more more time with him was something I was really happy about because he was literally the only person that made me feel safe.

Uta and Itori seemed to be dead to him, he never spoke about them again and hasn't met up with them either. On one hand I felt really bad about this, on the other hand I was glad he chose me instead of them.. But that made me feel really selfish.

So since we had no contact with them, we still had no idea how they found out about my whereabouts, Renji was working on finding out about it though.

One thing I really noticed a change in was his behaviour. Not really directed towards me but like.. When he was alone or lost in his thoughts. He was thinking a lot lately and stayed silent almost the entire day.

Sure, I didn't mind that 'cause I was kind of used to his quiet phases but it felt like he was even more quiet now - which did in fact worry me.

Whenever I tried to ask what was going on he acted as if everything was fine though.

Well, on the bright side I was slowly starting to feel better.

University was still stressing me out, work was exciting but since I was already stressed it just added up to it - and this entire situation obviously didn't help at all.

To distract me from some of the stress, I decided to do some researches about my past - because now that I knew my fathers name, I had an actual chance of finding out more.

So that was my plan for today.

After work I decided to meet up with Renji to head to a library - the internet had no reliable sources and especially none in my language.

He had been secretly picking me up from work ever since the ghoul restaurant incident, I didn't ask him to, he just decided that he had to, which made me really happy because sometimes it got quite late .. and walking around in the evening is not one of my favorite things to do..
