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

Gone Too Far (TW: Abuse!)

His stern expression rapidly changed into an even angrier one than last time we fought. There was this burning rage burning behind his eyes, making them appear a lot darker than they usually were. A big, deep frown resided on his forehead while he spoke. His appearance was.. Scary.

"W-what's g-goi-" I wanted to ask, my voice shaking already as this was something I was not used to .. But used to at the same time.

"Are you really that stupid!?" he shouted while my body hit the wall and he punched both of his hands into it on either side of my head, leaving me no place to go.

Once again, I flinched, fearing that he would right out punch me. My jaw fell agape lightly, I was searching for words to say that would meet his expectations but I had none, so I just shook my head - an unsatisfying response.

"Fucking liar!" he yelled, "Stupid bitch, you think you can fool me!?"

My eyes widened slightly, in all those years we were together he never called me names. At least none that I recalled. Instinctively, I wanted to push him away by putting my hands on his chest but as soon as I pushed for the first time, his hands moved to my shoulders and he began pressing me into the wall. It didn't stop me from attempting once more with more pressure, but it only resulted in more pressure against my own body.

"T-take a step back" I demanded, trying to sound as convincing as possible but my voice gave away that I was already scared, "a-and calm down."

"Calm down?! I decide when I'm gonna calm down!" he shouted in reply, his face only inches from mine, "It's your goddamned fault that Anteiku burned down!"

I furrowed my brows and shook my head. Hearing that Anteiku burned down was a shock to me but I didn't see the connection he claimed I'd have with this.

"Wh.. Why is that my f-fault? I.. I didn't do anyth-" I defended myself quietly, my voice small compared to his.

His mere presence and the breath I could sometimes feel against my skin was throwing me back to many occasions back when I was stuck at the Aogiri Tree. Too many times had I been blamed for something I hadn't done and when I spoke up, I was greeted by a fist flying out to get me.

"I didn't do anything" he mimicked me with a mocking tone, "You are the reason many ghouls will die from hunger!"

"I.. I didn't do anything" I repeated myself, raising my voice just a tiny bit.

Suddenly, the pressure on one side of my shoulders disappeared, shifting over to my jaw which he grabbed tightly instead. Four of his finger pads pushed into my left cheek while only his thumb pushed into my right one, the palm of his hand pressing my jaw upwards to shut me up. The size of his hand was big enough to cover my entire mouth area. I immediately wrapped my hands around his arm, trying to pull his hand off of my face - only to have him tighten his grip further. The light that shone into the room through the window next to me threw shadows on his face that accentuated his malevolence perfectly.
