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

Caught by Him

"I-I.." I stuttered, lowering my head, I couldn't look into his eyes.

The second I heard his voice, I felt like I was about to throw up. The panic that had built up inside of me was ready to burst, my entire body was shaking violently.

"You slept at Koutarou's place, didn't you?!" Renji snapped, crossing his arms over his chest, blocking my way.

Knowing that denying it, lying about it would be ridiculous considering how I'm wearing my best friends clothes, so I decided to nod. However, instead of just giving that statement, I wanted to give him a reason: that he left me. Judging by the tension that was already lingering in the air, this would surely escalate anyway.

"Y-yeah.. A-after you left, he ended up joining me and because I was upset, I.. I slept at his place" I explained, feeling his gaze burn on my skin, "You seemed to have left with Itori."

"Bullshit" he exclaimed, "I was there - the entire time."

Although his voice wasn't too loud yet, I could hear his anger and it already scared me. But I knew I couldn't back down - I couldn't let him talk me down.

"I saw you dancing with him.. And all the other men.." he growled.

Not finding the right words to say, I just nodded. If he saw it anyway, there was no denying that either. And I hadn't done anything wrong back then.. So it should be okay.

"Do you really think I'd leave without you?!" he asked out loud, frowning deeply while he scanned my body - looking for the evidence I was hoping to have covered.

"You were with Itori and Tetsuo the entire evening - you technically left me alone all evening. So why wouldn't you leave with them instead of me.." I reasoned, my voice steadily increasing.

"Did you think I wouldn't see you dancing with all those guys? Laughing, having a good time? Flirting even!?" he complained, slowly raising his voice, "Especially with Koutarou. You know exactly how I feel about him being near you."

"What else was I supposed to do.. I was bored and the wine gave me confidence.." I admitted, trying hard to keep myself collected, "I didn't flirt with any of them - unlike you who constantly flirts with Itori."

"Yeah the wine certainly gave you confidence.. " he groaned, "That you even think I'm flirting with Itori is infuriating - she's the mother of my child, I just have to spend time with her."

"But you don't have to let her kiss your cheek nor ruffle through your hair or touch you anywhere else" I returned, frowning lightly to appear stronger although I was still in shock over my own actions, "You guys are exes, so act like it."

"Oh seriously?!" he faintly rolled his eyes, "Your oh-so-dear Koutarou surely does that, too."

"No, he doesn't" I spoke firmly, finally pushing past him to enter our room.
