48: 💌Something Mean💌

When he says something mean to you

Ren:

Standing in the bathroom, you stared at yourself in the mirror. You teared up and sat on the floor , looking up at the ceiling. You could hear Ren on the other side, knocking on the door. He turned the doorknob, but it was locked. “(Y/n), please open the door.” You ignored him, burying your head into your lap. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. It just…” He was trying to find the right words to say. “I'm so sorry."

Was I taking this too seriously? You looked up and stared at the bathroom door. You could see the shadow of Ren’s feet. Wiping the tears falling from your face, you stood up and pressed your hand on the door. Ren was on the other side, pressing his hand in the same area as yours. His head rested against the door and sighed. “(Y/N)….” You unlocked the door and slowly opened the door. Ren wasn’t there. You rolled your eyes and closed the door. Suddenly, you felt strong arms wrap around your waist. You flinched and saw Ren. You didn’t saw anything. Both of you just stood there. You turned around and faced him. He gasped and he looked so…weak.

Ren hated to see you cry. It was his weakness. He never liked seeing you or any other woman cry. He gazed into your eyes and held you hand. “Please…forgive me. I won’t say like that with you anymore.” He kissed your cheek. “Please…” he whispered. You looked up at him and quickly nodded. You forgave him because you knew that he really meant it. Plus, you couldn’t stay mad at him forever. “You know, I don’t like to see you cry. It makes me want to cry.”

“Why?”

“Just seeing your tears…it breaks my heart and it makes me wonder what I’ve done wrong that made you cry. I want to see you smile and laugh. It makes me happy to see you like that.” He kissed your forehead. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Ryuji:

Ryuji stood there, slightly surprised. He stood there for a few seconds and then began walking into the bedroom. 'Dammit. I shouldn’t have said that.' He spotted you curled up under the covers. 'Ryuji, Why in the hell did you say that?!' He wanted to slap himself now. Seeing you hurt like that made him feel guilty and he hated seeing you sad. Sitting down on the bed, he gently touched your hair and stared at you. “(Y/n).” He only said your name. You didn’t answer him. You were giving him the silent treatment. Ryuji sighed and kept staring at you. “I’m sorry. I…I didn’t mean to say that. It just slipped out.”

“You should have more control of you mouth.”

You never knew those things could have escaped Ryuji’s mouth. It was like another person was controlling him. And when he said that, he looked really mad, scary almost.

“I know. You’re right.” He kissed your cheek. “Forgive me…please.” You wiped your tears and turned to look at him. Ryuji looked sincere. He knew that he did wrong. “Look, if it makes you feel better, you can slap me again. I don’t care. All I want it for you to feel better again and forget everything that I said.”

You sat up in bed. Ryuji kept looking at you. “Thank you…” You said quietly. Another tear fell down your eye.

“Hey…don’t do that. You make me want to cry. I love you too much to see you cry.”

“I love you too.”

Yusuke:

His laughter suddenly ceased when he noticed the wetness forming in your eyes. “(Y/n), don’t cry. W-why are you crying?” He tried to comfort you, but you shook him off. You ran away from him. “(Y/n)!” He called out. You didn’t answer him. ' Why did I say that?!' Yusuke ran after you, trying to stop you. You shut the bedroom door, locking him on the outside. He sighed. “Baby~! I’m sorry!” He began whimpering. “Please forgive me! I didn’t mean to say it!”

You ignored him.'Maybe you were taking it too seriously, but it still hurt.' You wiped your tears and sat on the floor, back against the door. He kept whining and asking you to open the door, but you didn’t. “(Y/n), listen…..I didn’t mean to say that. It was stupid of me, I know. You can call me all the names you want if that makes you feel better.” There was a long moment of silence. You sat there, thinking if you should open the door or not.

Finally, you opened the door and faced him. He looked sad and serious. Taking a deep breath, you said all kinds of words to him. Yusuke’s mouth was wide open, shocked at the words you said. He stared at you for a minute and then smiled. He hugged you and kissed your cheek. “Baby….feel better now?” To be honest, you kind of did. “You’re so cute when you act like that!” He touched your cheeks.

Akechi:

You cringed at the thoughts of the argument that happened minutes ago. I guess all that anger he held in, he finally let it out on me. You began crying. Wiping the tears coming down your face, you stayed curled up in a ball under the covers in your bedroom. Seeing him like that made you scared. He never lashed out at you like that. I mean, you two have had arguments before, but it never ended with him calling you that. But, you couldn’t blame him. For too long, the press had been making up stuff about him and crazy rumors that aren’t even true. You promised him that you would never believe those rumors, and you broke it.

Letting out even more tears, you shook your head side to side. You wanted it erased from your memory. Forever. “(Y/n)…” You heard Akechi’s voice. It made you jumped slightly. You felt him sit on the bed. You could feel his eyes staring at you. “I…I didn’t mean to call you that. Honest, I didn’t. I’ve never called anyone that and the fact that I called you that makes me feel sick. I know…I’m an idiot. You can call me anything you want. And…all this stress—all this work —it makes me stupid sometimes. And I’m really, really sorry that person was you that I lashed out on.”

You noticed his voice cracking a bit. Was he crying? “I love you so much…and I disrespected you. I’m so sorry (Y/n). Please, if you can…forgive me. I promise you I’ll never go off like that ever again.”

And just like that, you forgave him. Why? Because you understood that whole argument and statement was a complete mistake. I love him too. You sat up in the bed and hugged him. He looked at you startled, then he wrapped his arms around you. His eyes were puffy from crying. “(Y/n), I’m so sorry.” He kept apologizing and apologizing and you knew that he meant it. People make mistakes sometimes, but you have to forgive them eventually.

“It’s okay. I forgive you, Goro.” You rested your head on his shoulder. To be honest, this made you two closer. Love is a powerful thing, isn’t it?
