" i know that's not true. " Hanako x GN!Reader •• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••
Today just seemed.. off.
You've been less energetic than you usually were, and you've been less attentive and been ignoring Hanako along with everyone else. You still talked to him but just barely, it would just be the "how are you?" and "i'm fine." But you clearly didn't look fine.
You two didn't even make eye contact at all, nor did you face him, you would make sure he didn't see your eyes due to the puffiness from crying.
"Ne, [Name]-san?" silence. "[Name]-saaaaaaan.. Don't ignore me!" No matter how many times he tried to get you to speak to him, he only received silence. You were on the verge of breaking down again, you tried to hold it in until your daily bathroom cleaning was over but you couldn't help but remember the way they looked at you with hatred.
Hanako noticed that your body has started shaking and he got worried. "[N-Name]-san?" sniffles were heard from you and you dropped the mop you held, collapsing onto the ground while sobbing. The apparition had panicked a bit then grabbed your shoulders, turning you to face him. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked softly but you shook your head and tried wiping the tears that continued to flow non-stop. "I-Its... Its n-nothing..! I.. I'm fine!" he sighed and cupped your cheek, wiping the tears for you.
"How can you be fine when you're crying so much? C'mon, tell me what happened. You've been acting strange." You knew there was no point of trying to hide it, so you took a deep breath and briefly looked at him in the eye. "I.. I messed up... T-They hate me now.." He raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Who?" he asked. "[F-Friend's Name].." his expression shifted into one of annoyance. That friend of yours had hurt you multiple times yet you still sticked around them, fooled by their fake apologies. "Listen [Na—" "I.. I know you warned me about them already... You told me that I'd only end up hurt the more I stay... I'm such a terrible person.."
"...I'm sorry! I'm so dumb! P-Please.. Please don't hate me..." You croaked, your voice breaking with each sob. It hurt him to see you like this, it hurt him a lot. Your faith in humanity kept you innocent despite how much suffering it has put you through. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close, your eyes widening as your sobbing paused in shock.
"I won't hate you. Not now, not ever." he stated firmly. "Its.. Its all because of that damn.. that damn curse i have!" his eyes widen. Curse? Did you mean.. "A-And.. b-before you say a-anything.. no.. it's not our bond.." you replied, somehow reading his mind.
"that damn curse I had since I was 8.." "eh? what kind of curse?"
...
...
...
"i don't wanna talk about it..." you mutter, turning away from the male. Hanako frowns and grabs your shoulders once more, turning you again. But this time, he pulls you into his arms, making your eyes widen in shock. His body was cold, considering he isnt alive, but it made you feel warm somehow. "Whatever it is, i know for sure that it's not the reason for your friend's hate against you." he says softly. You look up at him, but his gaze wasn't towards you. "H-How can you be so sure?"
"Because you did nothing wrong."
Tears pricked your eyes once more, you've always been told that it's your fault, and now being told that you aren't the one to blame.. it somehow warmed your heart, yet it felt foreign. "B-But—" "And you know it too. No need to blame yourself when you know you didn't do anything." wrong."
"Please.. I just want to see you smile again."
your lips quivered as you tried to hold back the tears, but you gave in instantly the moment he said those words. Sobbing onto his chest as he rubbed circles on your back to comfort you.
"It's not your fault, it never has been. So don't worry about it anymore, okay?"
