Hundreds of Stories; An Usnavi x Reader

Usnavi?

"Y...Y/n..." He sighs, "What happened to you?" His voice begins to break.

"W-What?...." I ask, my brow scrunching up as I stare into his eyes, which are filled with sadness.

"Y/n... I promised you..." He takes off his signature cap, and runs his hands through his hair. "I promised you that I would never leave you.... And now... you left me... But why?" His voice breaks, and I stand there, in his presence, not knowing what to say. I don't know what to do. What have I done? I look over to Benny, my eyes seem to beg him for help. As our eyes meet, I see his eyes are also filled with sadness. Sadness that I couldn't take away, no matter how much I wished I could.

"I...I'm Sorry.." I sigh.

"What's making you do this, Y/n? What happened to make you act this way? I know this isn't you..." Usnavi's eyebrow furrows as he tries to figure out what's going on.

"I can't say.."

"Do you hate us?" My eyes widen as these words escape his lips.

"W-What? No! I could never hate you! You're wonderful!"

His brow furrowed, and he closed he chocolate eyes, taking his cap of and pulling a hand through his dark hair in thought.

"Then.... why.. why are you doing this?"

"I-uh...." I stammer, "doing what?" A nervous chuckle escapes my lips.

Usnavi stays silent, his eyes searching mine for some sort of sign.  Another sigh escapes his lips, as he puts his head down in defeat. 

"I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you act like this. Have a good night, Y/n. I'll be here for you when you're ready to talk."

"I... I'm sorry, and Thank you, Usnavi."

He smiles through pursed lips, turning and walking away.

I watch him leave as my whole body begins to tremble uncontrollably, and warm tears fall down my face. My world seems to spin around me, and I can't stop my knees from buckling out from under me, causing me to fall to the concrete.

Not one moment later, I feel someone gripping my body close to theirs.

"shh, shh. It's ok, just tell me what's wrong.. Everything is gonna be ok." 

"B-Benny?" I stutter out, looking up at his worried face.

He forces a sad smile, nodding softly.

"I.. I'm so so sorry!" I burst out, as Sobs escape my lips.

"What's been going on Y/n? I don't understand why you're acting like this!"

"I.." I shake my head, not willing to speak.

"Let's go talk about this at your place?" He questions, looking down at me. I shook my head again, I didn't want him to know that I had moved into a different apartment.

"Well, I'm going with you wherever you go, so it's your place or mine."

I sigh and nod my head, knowing that Benny isn't one to give up on helping his best friend.

"Good, let's go." He stands up slowly, reaching his hand out to me, and helping me stand up. I take his hand and pull myself up, my legs still a bit weak from the whole event that had happened.

"Go ahead," Benny opens his apartment door for me, ushering me to go in. I went into the room, looking at the familiar surroundings. 

The white walls had picture frames of Benny and I hanging out together when we were younger. I looked at the smiles on our carefree faces with a strong sense of melancholy for my current situation. 

"Remember that one?" he pointed toward a photo of us at the beach. I smiled at the group of four posing for a photo. 

"Yeah, That was the day you almost told Nina how you felt." A small chuckle escapes my lips.

Benny nods.

"Yeah, and you were a blushing mess every time Usnavi said a word to you!"

I giggle a bit, and punch his arm playfully. 

"When did you last eat?" Benny looks over to me with a suspicious glance.

"Uhh," I shrug "I think it was lunch? No. It was breakfast. Why?"

"Y/n..." He shakes his head, "It's 10 o'clock!"

"Oh wow." I quote, not being quite surprised, as it had been dark outside for awhile.

"I'm gonna get some food," He walks into his bedroom to order a pizza on his computer without another word.

Benny really was the best friend anyone could hope for..

I smile gratefully at the pizza with f/p/t (Favorite pizza toppings) on it.

"Thank you, Benny."

"No Problem," Concern still laces his words, but he forces a smile as he hands me a f/d (Favorite drink)

 I smile gratefully at him, hoping that he would drop the questions that I knew he wanted to ask me. Unfortunately for me, however, he didn't. 

"So, Y/n..." Benny sends a knowing look in my direction. "What is going on? Honestly, this is not at all like you, so please help me understand..." 

I sigh, and shake my head softly. 

"I'm sorry, Benny.. I would if I could, but I can't.." My voice breaks at the very end of the sentence and I feel tears begin to make their way down my face, landing onto my hands. 

"Y/n!" He rushes from his previous spot across from me to sitting next to me, wrapping his strong arms around me in a friendly embrace.

"I just feel so trapped.." I begin, unable to think of anything else to say.

Benny just nods in understanding. "Well," He sighs. "You know you can always trust me, we will always be best friends, no matter what."

I feel a smile come across my face, the first time I truly believed everything was gonna be ok. 

That night, I decided to tell Benny everything, and he listened to every word that escaped my lips. Benny, although he disagreed with me not telling Usnavi, promised me that he would help me through this. Maybe everything will be ok.
