Oh my dear~ Ronald Knox × Reader

Is this... Betrayal?!

Ronald's POV

"Sorry, (Y/N), but I can't have you see what I'm about to do." I said as I looked back at the pub and made my way back to the Reaper's realm and all the way to the reception desk

"Ronald!" Said the woman at the reception desk, "I barely get to see you anymore! Didn't find yourself a sweetheart did you?" She asked

"Ah, Sarah! What a pleasant surprise, I didn't know you were working today." I said as I tipped my hat, "But, no, alas i still have yet to find such a person."

"My, maybe you don't have to look so far."

"Perhaps not!" I replied, "But, do think you could do me a favor, do you?" I asked

"Well, sure if it's for you Ronald." The woman chuckled

"I need you to get something verified for me." I asked, "Surely you don't mind the trouble."

"N-no! Not at all I'll get this all checked up quickly." She said as I handed her the death scythe

"Why thank you, I don't know anyone who can get it done faster than you, Sarah." I said. I continued to talk with her as I played around with something in my pocket, she seemed to have noticed when she handed back the death scythe, "Ah, perfect." I complimented

"Whatcha got there Ronald?" She asked as I quickly slipped the object back into my pocket,

"Oh, it's nothing really." I said

"Well surely it's something if your hiding from me- there!" She said as she took the object from me, "What's this? A ring?! You were married?!"

'Well, the cats out of the bag now...' "I used to be married, happily acutally." I said

"I'm not stupid Ronald! This is a man's ring, so why are you still carrying the bloody thing around?!" She said as she threw it back at me and I sighed as I caught it

"Like I said, I used to be married, I'm not married anymore." I said

"Oh and I wonder how you screwed that up as well! No wonder she left you! You use every woman like you just did to me!"

I smirked, a sadness in my eyes as I looked away, "Perhaps, I did screw up."

"You think Ronald?! Go back to your ex!"

"I can't, you see, my wife passed away a long time ago." I responded

"Oh... Ronald.. I- I'm terribly sorry for jumping to conclusions- it's just that-" she started

I smiled, even though I didn't feel like it, "It's alright, Sarah, you didn't know." I said as I fiddled with the ring in my pocket, picking up the death scythe and making my way back to where I left (Y/N),

"Ronald... please.. don't go.."

I continued walking, turning the corner only to see (Y/N) there, 'oh this is just great..' "(Y/N), please I can explain." I said a tired expression on my face

"It's alright, you don't have to, I must say, when I saw you flirting with her, i was really jealous, that you ditched me to go talk with someone else- but... then I remembered, I'm not more important to you than Sarah, I only came to this conclusion, when I forced myself to stay, there must have been an answer for your actions... right?" (Y/N) said, her hand shaking she held it so tightly

"And then, she felt the same way I just did, when she found the ring in your pocket, it was then when I realized, no woman can compare to your wife." She finished, a saddened look in her eyes

'(Y/N), if you only knew how important you are to me.' I thought, "Well, usually that's the case, but, there is just one person." I said

"Who?" She asked a little confused

"You'll see." I teased

"C-ome on, that's not fair!" She said as I laughed in return

"Here, this is for you." I said as i placed the death scythe in her hands

"Hm? It's a weed...whacker- my very own death scythe! Ronald, thank you so much!" She said as she tackled me into a hug

"Hey now, take it easy or we're both going to end up on the floor."

"Oh- right, sorry.." she apologized, "Say... Ronald..."

"Hm?"

"Do I.. remind you of your late wife? Is that why you give me special treatment?" She asked

"Yeah, you could say that" I answered.

(Y/N)'s POV

I had been assigned to be Ronald's partner and we collected many souls together, I even got to try out my new death scythe, I must say it works like a charm. But the more time we spent together the more Ronald and I grew closer and the more my mind began to wonder what his wife was like

After laying in bed for awhile I got up and rubbed my eyes, "Where... are they..." you asked as you felt around your night stand for your spectacles, only to feel absolutely nothing, a shiver went up your spine as you got down on your hands and knees, trying to see if it fell off, "Well, if I Could SEE in the first place I wouldn't need those bloody things..." you said to yourself as you continued to feel around aimlessly.

You then felt them, being handed to you, "Oh, thank you." You said as you reached for them only to realize- that someone had broken into your house- to hand said glasses to you. You stumbled back, "H-how did you get in?!" You asked, "I was sure I locked the door this time!" You said

"Well, you do want your spectacles back, dont you?" Said a familiar voice

"No way..."

"Mhm." Said Ronald

"Why are you in my apartment?!" You questioned,

"Well, one thing at a time sweetheart." He said as he slid the glasses onto your face

"Th-thanks.. but why are- you- in- my- h-h-house.." you stuttered as this man before you only had a towel wrapped around his waist, he grew closer to you, only causing your reddened face to emit steam as you got a bloody nose

"Damn, are you alright? Your nose is bleeding, did you hit your head on something?" He asked as he reached out to help but you turned your head and held your nose to stop it form bleeding

"My nose is fine, everything is fine- just put on some bloody clothes!!"

"We should probably take care of that bloody nose of yours first, it seems to be getting worse." He said
