Ruel Imagines

[UNEDITED]

"Are we okay?"
"Yeah, we're fine. Just forget about it."
"Wait, Ruel-"
"Y/n, just drop it."
"But Ruel, you were upset. I want to help you-"
"You can help by just dropping it."

"Why do you always do this?" I cried.
"What?"
"You always feel upset but you never tell me why."

"It's cause you wouldn't understand and I don't want to cause you to feel upset."
"But seeing you upset makes me feel upset, Ruel!"

"Y/n-"
"You're doing the same thing your ex did to you."
"Excuse me?"

"Y-you told me she would always start crying but never tell you why. You told me we had to be honest and open with each other, but you're not being honest with me."

"Baby," he grabbed my hands. "I love you so so much and I know you want to be there for me, but I-I just can't talk about it."
"Why?"
"B-because I'm scared."

"Ruel, you're not giving me much to work with here."
"Y/n, I know. I know you're frustrated but please just drop it."

"Are you keeping something from me?"
"No, it's-it's complicated."
"You always say that though." I said, pulling my hands away from his.

"Bubby, I'm sorry."
"For?"

"For always keeping things from you."
I looked at him, not saying anything.

"Management called and told me we had to cancel the rest of the tour."
"What? Why?"
"Nate told me he tried to work it all out, but there was only so much he could do. For some reason, ticket sales were so low and we couldn't play in all the arenas cause we wouldn't be able to afford it."

"Ruel, baby, I'm so sorry." I said, engulfing him into a hug.

"Y/n, I really thought they wanted to see me. We made sure to get the biggest arenas and only had a few hundred people buy tickets." he cried into my shoulder.

I rubbed his back, not sure of what I should say.

"Do you think this is it?"
"What do you mean?" I asked, brushing my fingers through his hair.

"Album sales have been low and now ticket sales aren't enough. Do you think this is the end?"
"No, I don't think so. You're going to continue making music like you've always wanted to, even if not many people will pay attention anymore. You're going to continue making music for the people that do want to listen, okay?"

"But I can't support us financially then."
"I'll help you out. I'm already getting a good pay, so I can pay off all the rent for the next six months. That way, it'll give you enough time to help pay half of the rent for the next few months."

"Thank you." he said, hugging me tighter.
"Of course. I love you always and no matter what happens I'll always be here."
