Unmasking A Ghoul (Uta X Reader)

Ch.21

*Fwip*
I shut off the T.V.
Yuse is sleeping on the couch.
That was the sixth Ghoul related news story I've seen...
I felt exhausted. Yet it was all mentally. Due to the attacks, my shift was often cancelled for my own safety.
I hadn't seen Uta since that day he came and talked to Yuse.
Since then there's been silent tensions between Yuse and I. But thankfully, those have been less frequent, almost none at all.
I always worried for Yuse. Somedays he wouldn't eat as much. Somedays he wouldn't want to speak. And some nights I could hear him cry to himself a little.
I always worried for him. I also worried for Uta.
Uta had been busy when these ghoul attacks began to increase. Then he asked that I stay away from the shop and him.
While I agreed to his idea, it's only stressed me more.
And according to Shuu tensions have been rising in the 13th ward.
How much time had gone by? It seemed like all the holidays were missed if i blinked. I hadn't celebrated a single one... I've been busy, stressed, confused... scared...
Yuse's strength as a half ghoul should overpower a normal ghoul but Yuse still seems so far and distant from his old condition.
None of us could ever return to how we were. Not after these attacks. Not after Uta. No. I will never see any man, any ghoul, the same as before.

I sigh. Stuck in my thoughts, hm.
But can I help it?
I had seen him in ways no had before. Seen him laugh and laugh till his stomach hurt and his eyes teared up. I've seen him cries in such ways that break my heart when i remember it. This past year plus with Uta, was long, was rough...
And here I am sitting alone just as I was before him.
But this time, its different, right? I'm not alone, I'm waiting.
He'll come back and I'll come back. When we're both safe. When our clashing worlds become safe.
No matter how long it may take, I'll wait for our time, for the right words, for us.
