For You! [ Rui Kamishiro x F!Reader]

|Goodbye to the Past|

"Rui! Put me down!" I tried to squirm out of Rui's grasp again.

I could practically hear my heart racing as I blushed. What made things worse was that I heard Rui let out a quiet chuckle.

'Does he enjoy this?!'

Deciding that fighting was futile, I accepted my fate and let Rui carry me to where I think was the theatre.

Inside, all the Vocaloid's stood on the stage along with Emu, Nene, and the fox plush.

Rui placed me on one of the many theatre seats near the stage. He still kept my phone with him even though I had asked him nicely.

"I know you're still pretty upset about what happened a few days ago, but that's why we all wanted to apologize for." Tsukasa bowed followed Nene, Rui, Emu and the Vocaloid.

'They shouldn't be apologizing to me...I'm the one who should apologize...'

I looked down at my shaking hands. I wanted to apologize for everything I said...but I can't. The lump in my throat doesn't let a single sound out.

'I can't cry...it'll make me seem pathetic and weak...'

Rui put his hands over mine as he kneeled down so that he could see my distressed face. "We're here for you (Y/N)." He smiled softly as he continued to crease my hands. "We only want to help you be your genuine self. In order to do that, we need to know what's bothering you."

I looked at everyone. Nene smiled whilst Emu gave a thumbs up. The Vocaloid all looked at me in anticipation.

When I looked over at Tsukasa and Kaito, they gave me a reassuring smile, almost as if they were trying to tell me that everything will be fine.

'I trusted Tsukasa before with everything of my past, and that made us friends...maybe telling all of them the memories that I tried to repress so hard might bring us closer...right?'

Looking back at Tsukasa, he mouthed 'You can do this' followed with a thumbs up. Well, I guess maybe I can do it. And if it doesn't go well and I somehow manage to make things worse for myself, I'll just blame it on Tsukasa for giving  me false hope.

Taking in a deep and shaky breath, I began to tell them of everything that happened back then, whilst still looking down.

"When I was in Kaware Academy, everything was miserable...I hated it there...no one was ever there to hear what I had to say...except for my butler, Laurent. He was the only one who truly cared about what I felt during those times."

Rui's grip on my hands tightened, he didn't seem to take the news lightly.

Sighing, I continued. "One day, I'd asked him to take me to the theater for a showing of the Little Mermaid...it would be the first show I'd watched in a while...but..."

I felt like crying again, every single time I think out what happened to Laurent, I can't help but feel like it was my fault.

"Maybe if I didn't ask him to take me or if I abandoned theatre all together like my father asked, maybe Laurent would have lived!"

Rui, Nene, Emu, and Tsukasa all pulled me in for a group hug. I just accepted it and hugged the closest person to me, Rui.

"I'm sorry for what happened back then." Rui sighed softly. He creased the back of my head as I held on to him tightly.
