Purple - Yata Misaki Love Story

Part 61

I stopped short when I walked into the kitchen, shocked as I watched Yata place a pair of underwear into a bag - lace underwear that wasn't mine.
"Misaki." I began, narrowing my eyes as he whipped around with a blush on his cheeks, eyes wide, "What the hell is that?"
"I-It's not what it looks l-like, Y-Yuri. I swear!" He stuttered out, "I-I can explain-"
"Explain what?" I retorted, feeling my heart wrench at the thought, "That you've been cheating on me?!"
Izumo walked back into the kitchen as Yata yelled out a stuttered 'no'.
I clenched my fists, "Stop fucking stuttering Yata! It makes it seem like your lying to me!"
He tensed up and I sighed, taking a breath to try and calm myself down, "I'll give you one minute to explain this to me."
"W-well, you see, Neko came over to visit Anna and she left these here and so Anna was going to bring them back to her but I volunteered to do it because I didn't feel it was safe for her to go out alone - b-but I didn't know it was this!"
"Is he telling the truth?" I asked, turning to Izumo as I crossed my arms.
"He is." Anna replied, "He didn't know."
"And this... Neko?? Huh? What's the rush to go and see her?"
"W-what- no! I'd rather burn those things than go and see her! She annoys me! Come on, Yuri, you have to believe me."
I frowned, he was right - I knew Neko annoyed him, "Alright. I believe you."
Yata breathed out in relief, and Izumo chuckled as he walked out with Anna. Setting the bag down on the counter, Yata approached me, taking both my hands in his, "Yuri, I'll make a promise to you now." He began, and I slowly met his eyes, "I will never raise my hand at you in a harmful way, and I will never cheat on you with another woman. I love you, so much."
"Oh, Misaki..." I whispered, "I love you too." I leaned forward and kissed him delicately.
"So... Is it okay if I deliver them then? I won't if you don't want me to." He asked, a small smile on his face.
"N-no... It's okay." I replied, stepping back, "Just hurry back, okay?"
He nodded, waving as he ran out of the room, "See you soon, then!"
I smiled as I watched him leave, and when I was alone, I let out a breath - because heavens, I was so, so in love.
