Unmasking A Ghoul (Uta X Reader)

Ch.8

Deep breathes (Y/n) deep breathes....
That is what I've been saying to myself since yesterday. After all the havoc I made, I really didn't know what to do. Or if I could do anything at all.
Maybe he hated my guts. I mean I was horrible! He has the right to hate me! But I don't want him to...
After all my thoughts countiue to trickle down, I can only conclude one thing. This isn't going to be easy.
Chewing my lip, I took a look in the mirror.
"What is that?" I whispered in horror. It wasn't the usual 'Ew look i'm so ugly', it was more like "What happened to my face?!"
My face was covered in the stress I had thinking my brother died, the tear stains I had shed over Uta, and my face seemed tired overall.
Groaning, I grabbed my makeup bag and began to apply my makeup on.
My hair wasn't too bad but overall I felt like I was giving off a happier vibe than how I really felt, from my puffed black skirt to my "customer friendly smile".
I don't have a choice since this is my work uniform but I stuffed some casual clothes in my purse for after my shift and headed out.
As my shift began to age, I found myself doodling on a napkin, making a little plan on what I could do.
"Uh, miss? Miss?"
I looked up from my napkin at the customer I hadn't ever seen before.
"Oh I'm so sorry! What can I get you?" I rushed over and greeted him.
"A black coffee would be all mado-m-miss." He spoke smoothly even when he changed his words.
As much as the order reminded me of Uta, I nodded and brought the order.
I raise the saucer and cup high before letting it rest in front of the man as it bellowed with steam.
The man softly smiled and I could've sworn he said something under his breathe.
Before I could ask he turned to me and asked,
"Are you (misprounciation of Y/n)?"
"Uh.. I mean I'm (Y/n).."
I was going to study his features, such as his pale skin, and sincere smile, but I busy being very creeped out by this man.
The way his beige old cap covered his hair and his brown coat allowed bold red clothing underneath to peek out.
Just who was this guy? I unintentionally took a step foward.
"H-hey mister! You better tell me w-who the hell-"
He interuptted me with a loud slllluurrppp of the black coffee.
"Ah! Trés bien...." He sighed.
"Wait... Tres bean!" I whispered loudly. That was familiar....
"Non non non! TrÉs BIEN!" The man corrected happily.
"You're... You're... Ugh what was the name.... Ah! Sho!" I said confidently.
"Shuu. Tsukiyama Shuu, at your service, madamosille." He dramatically bowed his head.
"Speaking of, (Y/n) you're shift ends in approximently.. 2 minutes and 34 seconds!" He said casually.
"A-approximently?! You know exactly when it ends!... H-how?" I wasn't slightly terrified of this man. No I was terrified. How does he know all of this?
"Non non! That is not of the point, mon cher! We must get you to Uta!" He wiggled his finger and grabbed my hand.
"Wait U-uta why?!" I stuttered.
"He hates me! I was so cruel to him and even though I do want to apologize.... I don't think anythings gonna... Work out, y'know?" After blurting out everything that came to my mind I ended in a whisper, as I turned my face away.
I looked back as I hear Shuu sigh.
"(Y/n). Look at me. Uta doesn't hate you. Not at all. If anything he loves you. And you know why? Because you and Uta, you both are honest with your feelings and just now you realized your mistake, no?" Shuu smiled.
My eyes darted down.
...Uta loves me.....
Shuu must've seen my lip quiver because he grabbed my shoulders gently.
"H-hey! Don't cry (y/n)! As a matter of fact, I was going to take you to see him, was I not!" He said happily.
Sniffing, I grabbed my purse and clocked out.
"Shuu, why do you need to accompany me?" I asked, concerned by Shuu concentrated face.
"(Y/n) this is ghoul territory... Though no one will hurt you if they see me, of course." He started serious but ending up flattering himself.
Making a light grimace to myself, I turn back and focus on the sidewalk.
