•Mutsuki Tooru 2•

It has been about a week after the auction operation, and everyone in the Quinx household seemed to be back to normal. Whatever normal is for you guys.

Shirazu and Urie still argued about the little things, Saiko went back to sleeping late and binge watching her anime, and Haise was still patiently putting up with you all. Props to him.

But something was off with Mutsuki.

Mutsuki was more quiet than usual. He seemed to stay in his room more often and didn't really come out until it was late at night. He doesn't even come down whenever he smells Haise cooking dinner.

Not that you've been checking or anything.

But besides that, you look at the clock on your phone and see that its late enough for Mutsuki to be awake, judging from the past few days. You gather your courage and start walking out your room, and down to his.

The walk was far enough for you to collect your thoughts and think of what you should say to him. Do you ask him straight up or slowly get to the point? What if he wants nothing to do with you?

"(Y/N), Come here!"

Goddamnit Shirazu.

"Can you give me a few minutes? I really have something I need to do," you say, starting to walk a bit faster. Your blond haired teammate follows close behind.

"Hey what's your problem? You've been acting weird lately," he says, scratching his head. You turn around with a forced smile.

"I'm fine, trust me, I just need to see Mutsuki real quick."

He stares at you with a raised eyebrow. "You use that excuse everyday. Is there somethin' going on that we don't know about?" he says with a almost teasing tone.

Your face starts to slowly heat up. "No, he just... I'm..."

Shirazu busts out into a fit of laughter. He eventually slams into the wall behind him which, of course, makes a bunch of noise. Hopefully Haise doesn't wake up.

Mutsuki's room door opens seconds later which startles you and grabs your attention.

"Hey can you guys keep it down? Please?" The green haired male says in a hushed voice.

Now's your chance.

"Mutsuki can I talk to you about something? If you don't want to it's fine."

Before he can open his mouth to respond, Urie comes stomping out his room and in front of Shirazu, visibly irritated. How Haise and Saiko are still asleep? You have no idea.

"Don't go around acting special just because you're squad leader. (I can easily take it right from you.)"

The blond male looks down at him with a scowl on his face and points a finger to Urie's chest. You feel a soft (and kind of sweaty) hand wrap around your wrist and lightly pull before you can even hear what Shirazu has to say.

Once Mutsuki gets you inside his room and closes the door, he turns to you. "You wanted to ask me something?"

Oh, right. You say in your head.

"Yeah I-"

Do you just... Say it?

"Are you alright? Ever since the operation you've been kind of... Quiet," you say nervously. The male standing in front of you isn't even close to intimidating, what is there to be nervous about?

His eyes widen and he thinks for a second before answering. "Of course! Nothing to worry about (Y/N), it's just been hard. You know, injuries and all."

That sounds nowhere close to believable so you do something that should never be done, and that is to push him to answer.

"Are you sure it's nothing more? If it's an injury I can wake up Haise and he'll deal with it."

He nervously laughs and drops his expression, bringing his hands out to clasp in front of him. "No need. I can sleep it off."

You take a step closer to him and bring your hand out to gently place it on his shoulder. "I know you're lying, Mutsuki. Please just tell me the truth. I want to help."

He sighs through his nose and brings his hands up to rub at his face. He then runs both hands through his hair. He drops both of his arms to his side before hanging his head down.

"I want to tell you something, but I don't know," he whispers under his breath, and if you weren't already paying attention to every little thing that he's doing, then you would've missed it.

"Tell me what? You can say it. It's just us two," you say softly, all while picking up his head with your index finger. His eyes look glassy.

"I-"

He sighs.

"I'm not really a guy, you know. It was... so hard to go on with the operation knowing that I was back to the old me, the me that I wasn't so happy with. All the attention and the hungry eyes made me want to completely disappear. It brought me back to when-"

You cut him off by covering his mouth with your palm. You bring your free hand up to wipe the tear that's rolling down his cheek. "It's okay, they're not gonna get you. You're with us and we'll never let anything happen to you. It's all okay."

He sniffles and pulls you into a tight hug, his head resting on your shoulder. You hear him softly whisper a 'thank you' into your shirt, and you rub his back in small circles.

"Hey, stop crying. I'll never see you any differently. I still - I still love you and I always will," you say into his ear to hopefully calm him down.

He picks his head up to look you into your eyes, like he's searching for the truth. You aren't lying.

At all.

The two of you get snapped out of the moment by the sound of something heavy hitting a wall, followed by a door slamming and a loud scream.

"You can beat me in training, huh?"

"Sassan wait I- I didn't mean it! I'll do all the dishes everyday for a month just-"

You assume that Haise is taking him down to the training area, because you can hear Shirazu shouting something along the lines of, "Wait, wait, no!"

You chuckle and look over to Mutsuki, who's staring at you with a warm smile on his face. He quickly catches himself and goes to scratch his neck.

"So, do we help Shirazu avoid getting his ass beat or what?" you say.

He nods following you out his room, with that same warm smile growing on his face.

Now, you know what normal is in the Q's household.

I honestly thank everyone who cares to read this oneshot book, even though it's been like what, 3 months that felt like 3 years to me. I might disappear again after this, who knows.

But again, thank you for reading 💕 and im sorry if it felt rushed and if there are any little mistakes.
