Ichimatsu x Reader - Proposal

Part Ⅳ

--

"Pfft. Did you make it home okay?"

I heard small chatter around me. I cracked open one eye as I heard Todomatsu say:

"Even a heart! Look at this! I didn't even know Ichimatsu could be like this.." He gasped.

My heart skipped three beats probably before I leaped up and snatched my phone from him.

'Dammit! They know about-'

"Ichimatsu-niisan!! Congrats on being in your new relationship!" Jyushimatsu clapped.

I couldn't even respond as my eyes widened to see all of them standing around me. I didn't know what was happening at all before Osomatsu stepped forward.

"H-Hey, sorry about all of this.. We just wanted to know what happened yesterday." He brushed his finger under his nose.

My stomach completely turned over. I guess Osomatsu was less of an airhead than I thought..

"I-It was all his idea!" Choromatsu defended himself, "I didn't want to come and bother you."

I looked at the floor instead, an unwanted pit of anger grew inside me.

"Why do you all even care?! Just leave trash like me alone!" I screamed out before I could stop myself.

They all had hurt in their eyes, even Jyushimatsu.

'Great job, Ichimatsu. You fucking blew it again.'

I felt guilty about everything, but I didn't have it in me to say anything about it.

"Dear brother... Don't feel sad. We're all here for yo-"

I slapped him. Harder than I meant to, but it was too late to apologize now. I ran past all of them, with Jyushimatsu tailing close behind me.

I knew I couldn't outrun him.

He caught me by the arm just as I reached the front door.

"Ichimatsu-niisan! Please..you don't have to run away!" His voice shook.

I knew he was scared, and I was too.

But I couldn't face him.

Or any of them.

Surprisingly, he let go of me. Just before I shut the door I told him:

"Don't worry, okay? I'll be back I promise." I could barely hear myself.

With shaking hands again, I started walking to my lover's house.

Every thud of my shoes drowning me all the way.
