❀' pairing: Sanzu Haruchiyo x Fem!Reader

❀' synopsis: you had known Sanzu since middle school. even though you didn't know her feelings for you, Sanzu was still willing to wait for you as long as it took.

❀' w.c: 1.7k

❀' warnings: childhood crush, insecurity, scars mentioned, gang themes (non-violent), running out at night, underage characters (non-sexual)

❀' h/n: it was so cute when I pictured this scenario in my head, I hope you like it 🙏🏻 don't hesitate to point out any mistakes you see or parts you don't like, enjoy reading 𖹭.ᐟ

Your last period was math, you only had minutes until you left school, and you were packing your books into your bag. You were still in middle school, so school wasn't too hard on you.

When the bell finally rang, everyone started walking out, laughing and chatting with their friends. You, on the other hand, had just put your bag on when he suddenly approached you.

Haruchiyo, the boy no one in class talked to much, who only had a few friends.

Haruchiyo approached you with hesitant steps and tried to speak while not really making eye contact. He was never good with words when he was stressed.

"Can we meet at the park next to school? I want to tell you something there."

Haruchiyo didn't usually communicate with you much in class, but you weren't on bad terms. You just weren't close enough to communicate.

You thought about the reason for his request for a while, but then you answered with a smile on your face that brought a slight blush to his cheeks.

"Okay, I'll come. But I can't stay for too long, I have to go home."

Haruchiyo nodded quickly at your acceptance and ran out of the classroom, as if he had somewhere to get to. You, on the other hand, thought his intentions wasn't anything big, so you walked out of the classroom at a slower pace.

When you left the school building you looked around, trying to see where he was, but he was nowhere to be found.

"Is he tricking me..?"

Even though this thought crossed your mind for a moment, you walked towards the park next to the school. When you entered the park, there was no one at first. For a moment you actually thought he was tricking you and you started to feel a mixture of sadness and anger strongly. But at that moment you heard Haruchiyo's voice behind you, his hands were behind his back; as if he was hiding something.

"I'm sorry, I had to stop by somewhere.."

When you turned to look at him, he couldn't meet your gaze again.

"It's okay.. but for a moment I thought you were tricking me."

Haruchiyo's eyes widened in sudden fear; he didn't want to appear like that in your eyes.

"What?! I would never do something like that!"

An involuntary giggle escaped your lips; he was just—so cute.

“Anyway, what were you going to tell me?”

Haruchiyo squirmed under your gaze as he cleared his throat. Then he pulled his trembling, stress-sweated hands out from where they were hidden and handed you a bouquet.

It was a bouquet with three pink lilies. He'd bought it with his allowance, using the excuse of 'buying lunch at school'.

Your eyes widened as Haruchiyo tried to speak without slurring his words. He probably wrote down what he was going to say beforehand because he was trying to remember it as if he were constantly speaking from memory.

"I—uhh.. I like you and.. I wanted to buy you these flowers because you look like them—no, they look like you—or vice versa."

When Haruchiyo started to slur his words, he huffed and looked at everywhere but you, muttering softly enough for you to hear.

"It's just.. You're so beautiful and sweet, so kind. You're so kind even to me. And that.. I like it."

Your cheeks were flushed as you listened to his words, and you felt speechless for a moment. Your eyes just shifted to the bandages around the corners of his lips involuntary. His biggest insecurity. When Haruchiyo realized this, he immediately tried to pull the bouquet back, feeling embarrassed and upset, while one hand tried to cover one of the bandages, as if on reflex He thought you were going to reject him.

"I—I'm sorry.. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable."

"No no, lilies are my.. favorite. I like them."

These sentences left your lips before you could even think. Your hands seemed to move automatically as they reached for the bouquet. Your fingers touched for a moment, and Haruchiyo was still bright red but surprised. He hadn't thought you would accept the bouquet. When you took the bouquet in your hand, a shy but sweet smile came to your face.

Haruchiyo had a shy expression on his face, but he still tried to speak.

"I thought you'd be angry at me, or disgusted with me."

As he said these words, his hands went to the bandages around his mouth, as if to cover them. Hearing this made something in your heart ache; he was too innocent like this.

"Why would I be disgusted? Those bandages... they mean nothing to me."

Haruchiyo wasn't used to hearing this, but he couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face as he dropped his hands to his sides. But then he reached into his pockets as if he'd remembered something.

"Oh, and one more thing."

After searching for a moment, he found a rosy pink card and placed it among the lilies. On the card, it read,

"With love from Haruchiyo."

Small doodles of hearts and flowers were adorned around the edges of the paper.

"I... I didn't know you felt this way about me."

"I can't usually express my feelings very well."

He was still surprised that you had accepted the flowers. For a moment, you put them back in his hands, took out a piece of paper and a pen from your bag and started writing something. Haruchiyo watched you with a confused expression as you held the bouquet.

"What are you doing? I didn't say anything bad, did I?"

When you didn't respond, he started to worry about what he said to you. You finished writing and put the pen back in your bag, then took the bouquet back from him and handed him the paper with a shy smile. Haruchiyo's eyes widened when he saw what was written on the paper.

"This is our home phone. You can call me from there whenever you want."

"Whenever I want?!"

"Yes, but don't call me at night, or my older sister will be very angry with me."

Haruchiyo was trying hard not to smile in front of you as if he had achieved the biggest victory in the world. He nodded enthusiastically and quickly folded the paper and put it in his pocket as he spoke.

"Okay! I won't call at inconvenient hours, I promise."

"But we can't date until high school, you have to wait."

Haruchiyo hadn't expected you to say that, and when he heard it, a worried pout appeared on his face.

"Until high school?! There's still 2 years! How am I supposed to wait??"

You put on a fake sad expression on your face face, just to toy with him a little.

"Are you going to give up on me just because of this?"

Haruchiyo froze for a moment, a million thoughts racing through his head. but he was sure of one thing.

There was no way he was going to give up on you.

He huffed and puffed, but agreed nonetheless.

"Okay then, I'll wait until high school."

When you heard that, you let out a breath you didn't realize you were holding. Smiling, you took a step towards the park exit to return home, but with a sudden burst of courage, you stopped and kissed Haruchiyo on the cheek. You were both bright red. Haruchiyo's heart felt like it was going to explode as you ran away, he held his cheek with his hand but a childish smile appeared on his face.

The sound of your running echoed on the sidewalk. The night was colorful as always, but tonight there was a different kind of excitement. You were looking everywhere for Haruchiyo.

As you were running, you came across a group of gang members, your eyes only searching for one of them. And when your eyes finally settled on him, a different kind of excitement filled you. You started to approach Haruchiyo, and the people around you watched with puzzled expressions. Haruchiyo, on the other hand, acted calmer when he noticed you, but he straightened up. He had a black mask on to hide hic scars.He wasn't as shy around you anymore; on the contrary, he was more confident.

You were in high school after all.

The other members were surprised when they noticed you walking towards Haruchiyo. They hadn't expected him to be seeing any girls. He quickly walked in front of you and looked you up and down. You were out of breath, and he raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing here?"

"We have things to talk about!"

"While you're in your pajamas?"

You looked at yourself. Yeah, you were in your pajamas since you snuck out of the house. While he was trying not to laugh, you slapped Haruchiyo lightly on the chest and spoke, frowning.

"Oh sure, I'll run away from home just to hear the proposal I've been waiting for, while you joke around, is that it?"

Haruchiyo had a soft smile on his face when he heard that you came to hear this proposal. Still, he couldn't resist playing with you.

"The proposal? But it's been 2 years."

"So? you said you'd wait."

"Do I even want you anymore?"

When you heard that, a surprised but more like sad expression appeared on your face. Haruchiyo couldn't help but laugh when he realized you took his joke seriously and pulled you towards him. he placed his hands on your cheeks and lifted your head, lowering his mask and pressing a kiss to your forehead.

"Don't worry, I still only want you. So.. will you be my girlfriend? Officially this time."

Haruchiyo's gaze was more loving, more sincere than ever. It was a look that was special to you. You smiled and kissed his cheek. That was all the answer he needed.

"Yes.. yes, I will be your girlfriend. Officially."

"Okay, but now i have to get you home before your sister catches you, love."

"I'll see you at school tomorrow anyway!"

Haruchiyo nodded, a happy, chaotic laugh escaping his lips. You were lovers now. And the two-year wait was definitely worth it.

❀' pairing: Bonten!Sanzu Haruchiyo x Fem!Reader

❀' synopsis: Sanzu sees you having a casual conversation with Rindou and, with a jealousy he can't quite place, intervenes. although his intention seems like it's only to cause trouble, he has important things to tell you about that night. he ends the night with something more intimate.

❀' warnings: violence mentions, threats, toxic dynamics, jealousy, possessive behavior, implied intimacy, crime themes, past trauma mention.

❀' w.c: 1.1k

❀' h/n: it's literally 4am so yeah, I wrote this very short unfortunately and it is very difficult to edit it at this hour.. it is very tiring, to say the least. there will be a flashback in the third or fourth chapter. I hope y'all will like it. don't hesitate to point out any mistakes you see or parts you don't like. enjoy reading 𖹭.ᐟ

It's a new day at Bonten Headquarters.

You were at work, working on a new kind of drug in the lab. But Rindou was right there with you. He was talking and laughing with you while you worked.

"Yeah, you should have seen his expression right then."

"That would probably be my favorite facial expression."

As the two of you were laughing like that, a throat clearing sound came.

Oh sure, who could it be?

Sanzu.

A scowl appeared on Rindou's face, and Sanzu was giving him a slightly nasty look.

"Sup, Rin."

"Yeah, whatever."

"How nice, you two are hanging out like bffs."

Sanzu's eyes turned to you this time, earning a scolding look from you.

"Yeah, Haru. After all, we're all friends here, aren't we?"

Sanzu didn't answer you, but turned to Rindou and spoke in an icy cold tone.

"Leave us alone for a bit."

"What happened to asking?"

Sanzu rolled his eyes at Rindou's words. Every time Rindou chatted with you, Sanzu got annoyed in a way you couldn't understand.

Sanzu looked at Rindou for a moment and spoke in a sarcastic tone with the fakest smile you'd ever seen in your life.

"Dear Rindou, can you please leave us alone or should I bring my katana?"

You tried not to laugh at that; Rindou was your friend, after all. But Sanzu? Well, his humor was too good for you. You hid your laugh behind a cough.

“Maniac.” that was what Rindou muttered angrily as he passed Sanzu.

After Rindou left, Sanzu walked all the way in, closing the door behind him and looked at you.

"Since when were you two so close?" his tone wasn't sarcastic, it was rather grumpy.

His attitude was getting on your nerves.

"What's to you, Haru? It's none of your business."

"If he looks at you like he wants to fuck you, it's my business."

"You're being disgusting."

Sanzu went silent as he scoffed at these words. You turned back to your work; the things he said sometimes made you sick.

He stayed silent for a while, waiting for you to talk to him. He hated your silent treatment.

"Aren't you going to say anything?"

"What do you want me to say, while you're throwing out ridiculous and disgusting comments?"

"I'm not wrong, okay? You haven't noticed the way Rindou looks at you."

"It doesn't matter how he looks at me, why does it bother you?"

Sanzu let out a sarcastic laugh for a moment, but it sounded more like anger.

"I apologize for trying to protect my partner in crime from the prying eyes of others."

His words lingered in the air for a moment. You murmured as you took off your apron and hung it up.

"Apology accepted."

"So can you come now, we have things to talk about."

Sanzu didn't wait for you and started walking ahead, already knowing you would follow. He walked towards his own room and opened the door for you.

Judging by his expression, he was about to talk about something serious.

A rare case for Sanzu.

After closing the door, you stared at him for a while.

"So.. what's the matter?"

"It's about.. that night you saved me."

A short silence fell between you. While you sat on his bed to get comfortable, Sanzu pulled a chair in front of you and sat down.

"I heard a conversation between those guys while they were knocking me out."

"What kind of conversation? Why didn't you tell me this that night?"

"It wasn't the right time, our topics were different. Your name was mentioned in their conversation."

Hearing this sent chills down to your spine. The first thing that came to your mind was those men you had problems with in your past. Still, you tried not to show your fear to Sanzu.

Although nothing escaped Sanzu's notice.

"My name? What were they saying?"

"I don't remember exactly what I heard. But they were talking about taking a revenge from you."

Sanzu narrowed his eyes and took a few steps towards you as he stood up. His slender fingers grabbed your chin with a gentleness that was too gentle for his nature and lifted your head up.

"I don't understand who could possibly need revenge on you.."

Sanzu's words were increasing the stress you were already in. Those men coming back could cause Sanzu to return to that anger.

And you definitely didn't want that.

"I... I don't know."

"You don't know? For some reason it didn't seem convincing to me, love."

A pet name. That he uses only for you.

You looked into Sanzu’s eyes as you let out a shaky breath.

“You can't tell Mikey this.”

Sanzu’s eyes narrowed; he already knew the reason, but he wanted you to be honest.

“And why is that?”

“He already doubts me all the time. And if you tell him this, he won’t trust me anymore. I want to stay in Bonten.”

“This isn’t a place you’re supposed to be happy.”

“Well, but I am.”

Sanzu scoffed loudly, his grip on your chin tightening as he leaned down to your eye level.

“Oh yeah? What could possibly make you happy here? Killing people? Watching torture?”

Of course, he wasn’t going to tell Mikey any of this, but he wanted to hear the full meaning behind your words. You spoke as if it were something insignificant, your eyes locking with his, but they were far too important for him.

“You brought me here. I’m with you. That’s why.”

Sanzu's gaze softened for a moment, although he tried not to show it. He stared at you silently for a while, but then spoke in a kinda threatening tone.

"I know the suspects you have in mind, there's no need to hide them from me. And if they really are those guys... this time I'll kill them for sure."

"But I still liked the way you talked like you were in love with me."

Oh of course, if Sanzu didn't break the seriousness by adding a sentence with his usual smirk, everything would be incomplete for him.

You rolled your eyes and gave him a light and sarcastic slap on the cheek.

"Ew, I'm not in love with you or anything. Don't get ideas."

"Hmm.. Yeah?"

Sanzu stood up for a moment and walked to the door of his room, locking it.

That one click was enough for you to understand what was going to happen next, for your breath to tremble.

"Haru, last time you said 'tonight will be the last'."

"And you said you didn't want it to be the last."

"I was high!"

"So? I don't see a problem."

Sanzu approached you while loosening his tie. You knew there was no point in resisting. By the end of the night, you were surrendering to him anyway.

Let's say.. it was one of your encounters with Sanzu. Spending nights together that were thought to be emotionless but actually contained the most intense emotions.

⌗ちの線。 »—⍟—« Chapter 𖥻1

❀' pairing: Bonten!Sanzu Haruchiyo x Fem!Reader

❀' synopsis: you and Sanzu are partners in every mission, but one day you disappear again, Sanzu is given a mission to go on alone. Sanzu successfully completes the mission but is wounded by several men. you're the one who saves him, but these disappearances of yours, raise Mikey's suspicions about you.

❀' w.c: 2k.

❀' warnings: mild violence, language, blood, kidnapping mention, angst, bonten au.

❀' h/n: i don't usually write long fics, but I wanted to try this time. I plan to publish chapters frequently and I'm thinking of using a name for the female character in the fic instead of {Y/N}. I'd appreciate your thoughts or suggestions. don't hesitate to point out any mistakes you see or parts you don't like, enjoy reading 𖹭.ᐟ

You hadn't seen any of them in 24 hours, you hadn't even set foot in headquarters.

Well, almost everyone was used to it anyway.

You suddenly disappearing one night and not returning until the next night.

Just to unwind.

It was past midnight, and the streets of Tokyo were as colorful as ever. You were heading towards where Sanzu's location was stationed. He'd probably been sent on a mission alone. After all, you weren't there, and you were usually Sanzu's partner. You weren't exactly surprised that he'd caused trouble for himself.

The warehouse of an old abandoned factory.

You hadn't even considered that there could be any missions here; it was an irrelevant location. You parked your car anyway, got out, and put on your jacket. You checked the location again, just to be sure.

When you approached the door, you thought it might be locked, but it wasn't. You opened it and yeah, Sanzu was there. But he was tied to a chair, almost all of his body parts were tied with rope or to the chair. Even his mouth was taped and he was a little injured.

But of course, this was you and Sanzu, even though you were worried, you acted like you didn't really care.

"I take it you were assigned to a mission without me again? Judging by the way you got yourself into this situation again."

Sanzu knew it was you who spoke without looking up. He listened silently to the sound of your approaching high heels. When you pulled the tape from his mouth, he spoke with his usual smirk, showing no remorse.

"Unfortunately, I can't behave myself very well when you're not around."

"Obviously."

You couldn't help the sigh that escaped your lips. You took out your pocket knife and started tearing off the strings one by one.

"Did you fail?"

"On the contrary. It was a pretty successful mission, but other problems suddenly arose."

Your expression became serious, you spoke in a slightly more monotonous tone.

"Other problems? Like what?"

"Three or four men, i don't really remember. They knocked me out without me noticing, and when I woke up, I was here. The wounds are from them, as far as you can tell."

When all the ropes were untied, Sanzu took a deep breath and rubbed his wrists. Your mind was still on what he had said. A frown appeared on your face, like the one that always appeared whenever you thought about something deeply.

"Didn't you know them? Maybe they were acquaintances of the men you killed?"

"If they were, they would have taken the opportunity to kill me, dear."

Sanzu smirked and poked your frown with his index finger. He was breaking all the seriousness in the atmosphere like always.

"And if I had died, you would have been very upset. I'm thankful I'm not dead."

"Tch, for god's sake, I wonder if I shouldn't have saved you.. maybe I should have just waited for you to starve to death."

"You love me too much to do it."

"Mhmm, yeah yeah. Keep telling yourself that."

Sanzu was already following you as you started walking ahead. After the two of you left the warehouse, he got into your passenger car. He spoke without looking at you as you started the car.

"Care to explain where have you been for the last 24 fucking hours this time?"

"Hmm.. no."

Sanzu rolled his eyes at you, but as usual, he didn't push you to speak. You quietly began to drive to Bonten Headquarters. He knew you'd start telling him all the things soon enough.

And voila.

"I went to the casino and the club, and to the hotel to sleep. I just spent some time alone."

“Wow, that sounds like so much fun.”

Sanzu’s sarcasm was evident in every way, and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes. But Sanzu paused for a moment, as if remembering something, and spoke.

“Wait, didn’t you spend your last money on some clothes and those platform boots? What was that again, Naked Wolfe?”

"Umm, maybe?"

“Then where did you get the money for the hotel and other things?”

Sanzu’s eyes narrowed suspiciously. Even your habit of scratching the back of your neck with one hand while your other hand was on the steering wheel gave away that you’d done something you definitely shouldn’t have.

"I may have borrowed Kokonoi's card."

"You stole Kokonoi's card?!"

You had barely opened your lips to respond when Sanzu burst out laughing loudly. And unfortunately, his laugh was infectious.

"I didn't steal it, I borrowed it."

"I absolutely believe you."

"You should!"

"Koko is going to kill you."

"That's a fact that i know."

As you sighed, Sanzu watched you with amused looks. But at the same time, he was angry because you had disappeared again.

"You need to stop these disappearances. They're getting suspicious about you."

"Tch, they're looking for an excuse to get suspicious. I'm just chilling by myself."

"Chilling, my ass. You're aware of everything they think about you."

"I'm not, and I won't be."

A frown appeared on Sanzu's face at these words, but he remained silent. He was too tired to argue.

"I'm just warning you, I can't save your ass all the time."

"Well, considering your current state, I'm the one who's always saving your ass."

You parked the car in the garage while Sanzu rolled his eyes at you. He got out of the car before you. You got out of the car next, locked it, and put on your jacket.

"Good luck getting rid of Koko."

"Nothing will happen."

While you shrugged, Sanzu looked at you with a mocking look.

When the two of you walked in...

Well, Koko was a little pissed.

The moment he saw you, he stood up and yelled.

"There you are, I'm gonna kill you! Where's my card?!"

"Let's calm down a bit, yeah?"

You laughed nervously, rummaging through your bag while most of them watched you and Kokonoi. Sanzu seemed to be enjoying it, like he was watching a soap opera.

When you finally found Koko's card, you quickly pulled it out and handed it to him. Koko took it harshly.

"Do you realize how expensive your everything is?! I don't even remember giving you permission to have my card."

"You were drunk, you might have forgotten."

Lie.

"I don't think drunk promises count."

Rindou chimed in and you shot him an angry look to shut him up. Sanzu was giggling by himself, while Kakucho tried to quiet him.

“Do I need to count what you bought with MY money?”

Koko was still glaring at you and when you couldn’t answer he spoke again.

“I swear, if you take my card again I will burn all your clothes.”

This wasn’t a bluff, he would definitely do it.

A sigh escaped your lips, and you started to go upstairs to your room, but this time Mikey stopped you. Sanzu's expression was more serious now.

"And stop these disappearances. You're not even telling us what you're doing or where you're going."

"She's not doing anything suspicious."

The only person who could say that was Sanzu, surely. Mikey's gaze turned to him this time. One of his brows was raised.

"And how do you know? She's your partner in every missions, but since she wasn't here today, you went alone and now look at your wounds."

Your face expression went sour as you listened to these. You felt like Sanzu's situation was your fault. Sanzu, however, was still trying to defend you.

"My wounds have nothing to do with her. The reasons are completely different."

"I don't care how things happened, I don't want to hear or see any of these disappearances again."

"I won't do it again, sorry."

Those words sounded more like a dismissal than a sincere apology, even you knew it. As you started to head upstairs to your room, Sanzu began to follow you.

You entered your room, questions still swirled in your mind about who could have done this to Sanzu and why. Furthermore, the thought that this was all your fault was eating you up inside.

Just as you were about to close the door behind you, someone stopped it with their foot. And of course, it was Sanzu.

"Don't get caught up in ridiculous thoughts. It's not your fault or anything."

"And how do you know? Maybe Mikey is right. We don't know who the men are who did these to you."

You tried to close the door again, your anger wasn't at him, it was at yourself. But Sanzu held the door again before you could close it and sighed.

"Are you really going to slam the door in my face? Who will take care of my wounds if you don't?"

One of Sanzu's signature smirks appeared on his face.

Well, that was your weakness.

He was your weakness.

Even though you were angry, you left the door open for him to come in. Sanzu laughed as he walked in.

"That's what I thought."

Misunderstood Love. 𖹭.ᐟ

❀' w.c: 2.2k.

❀' warnings: delusional love, obsession, one-sided love (at first), mild stalking, kissing, slight misunderstanding, emotional tension

❀' h/n: welcome to my first post. I used to have another account but I had to delete it and this is the only oneshot I have left from that account.

Sanzu and his obsession.

His obsession with Mikey.

Of course, that "Mikey's obsession" was for you.

It was just another day.

Around Mikey's house.

Haruchiyo was just watching and listening to you silently as you spoke eagerly.

"Look, you can see his room clearly from this angle! You already know most of his habits, though... but okay! We have a chance to learn new things about him"

"Ah, of course.."

Sanzu listened to you, but your words weren't penetrating his mind.

"Look, look! He went into his room! What is he doing? I can't see."

Your eyes darting around, trying to see what Mikey was doing. It was giving Sanzu quite a sight.

A teasing smirk appeared from under his mask.

"Do you need an eye doctor?"

Sanzu, this boy who normally barely smiled, was making every joke he could think of when it came to you. You looked at him in shock as he burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, I was joking."

"Tch, so so funny."

"But you're smiling."

You couldn't help the smile that appeared on your face. As you turned your head back to the window of Mikey's room, Sanzu continued to glance at you every now and then.

Days passed like this, one by one. Every day, you helped him stalk Mikey, trying to bring the two of them closer. In your dream world, those two were a couple.

Sanzu, on the other hand, didn't realize you were shipping them, didn't even realize that you thought he likes Mikey.

He understood everything completely differently.

"I'm telling you, I'm serious, why don't you believe me yet?! It's obvious she has a crush on me!"

"How can a girl who helped you stalk Mikey be in love with you for god's sake??"

Sanzu and Mucho's voices were rising from the cafe they were sitting in. Sanzu was telling about all the "moments full of love" he had experienced with you to Mucho and waiting for him to comment about them. He was less knowledgeable about love.

"Look, she invited me to a cafe the other day, you should have seen it, I think it was a cafe where most people go for dates! Then she talked about Mikey, blah blah blah. She laughed at all the jokes I made in the cafe!!"

"As the name suggests, 'jokes', of course she was going to laugh, what did you expect?"

"Shut up, I'm not done talking yet. First we were sitting opposite each other, but then she pulled her chair over and sat next to me. While we were talking she was occasionally touching my arm and leaning on my shoulder. When we first met, she told me she wasn't someone who liked contact though!"

"So she's starting to trust you."

"So she's starting to fall in love?"

Mucho put his hand on his forehead and sighed. On the one hand, he wanted to laugh, but on the other hand, he found it cute to see Sanzu misunderstanding your every move and starting to fall for you.

"No, Haruchiyo, not every trust means love."

"But even when I first invited her over and she saw me without my mask on, she didn't judge me, she even said I looked really cute."

"So?"

"So this isn't love?!"

"Could you be a little patient-"

"I think I should kiss her when we meet tonight."

There was a long silence in between them. A vein throbbed in Mucho's temple as his eye twitched.

"What the hell..?"

"What, is this too much? Pfft, but we've been going on like this for months, I'm so sick of it!"

Mucho sighed for perhaps the hundredth time, knowing he couldn't stop a Sanzu that had reached this point, so he tried to offer advice instead.

"Well... since you're so fed up, you can try other things instead of kissing her directly. Like... talking, right? It's very simple."

"Talking? You know I'm not good with words, especially around her."

"It's worth a try. You just have to say your feelings, Haruchiyo."

"It's not that easy."

Sanzu's eyebrows were furrowed. Maybe it was from anger, maybe from stress. But he was definitely thinking of you, that much was obvious. Expressing his feelings was never easy for him.

But still, there was hope inside him.

Because he thought you liked him, you were in love with him.

- you're coming tonight, aren't you?

It was a message from Sanzu that appeared on your phone. You promised him that you would go to his house for dinner today.

- yupp! I'm coming. I hope you prepared some delicious meals?

- I prepared the best ones for you.

Receiving messages like these from him always put a smile on your face. Before leaving the house, you checked your appearance in the mirror one last time.

"Hey! I told you to just sit down and rest!"

"And I said I'll help you!"

That was just one of the arguments you had while you helped Sanzu set the table. Soon, you were sitting down at the table and eating together.

"Did you like my food?"

"Mhmm! They're delicious. Maybe you should become a chef."

"You're exaggerating, I'm not that good."

Sanzu was laughing at your compliments while eating. His mask was in his room; he'd even forgotten he wasn't wearing it. He didn't care about his mask in your presence.

"Besides, if you became a chef, I think Mikey would be interested."

"Hmm? And why's that?"

"Well, you could cook dorayaki for him and he would be very happy.

"Ooh, you're right!"

Sanzu just smiled briefly. He was very stressed because he had to tell you his feelings tonight. You, on the other hand, were happily eating your dinner, unaware of everything.

After you finished eating, you cleaned the dishes together. No matter what you did, there was always laughter and jokes between you. The first chance you got, you sat down on the couch and started chatting.

"Did you do the same thing today?"

"Yeah, I bought him some dorayaki again, stalked him etc. same things."

"Soooo? did you learn anything new?"

"Nuh-uh."

"Hooow?? We've been trying for months but we haven't learned anything new!"

Sanzu was tired of talking only about Mikey every time he met you. Perhaps for the first time, he was bored by something about Mikey. His eyes were drifting to your lips. His attention was completely lost.

"Umm... I don't know... Maybe we're trying the wrong ways."

"Wrong ways? Then I should start thinking of new things."

"{Y/N}-"

“Maybe we should try somewhere other than his house!”

Every time Sanzu opened his mouth to speak, you wouldn’t notice him and would interrupt him. He was getting more and more stressed. He wasn’t good with words anyway, and your constant interruptions were stressing him out even more.

“There’s a cafe he goes to all the time, should we try that-”

This time your words were cut off.

Cut off by his lips.

Finally, he couldn't resist and kissed you. While your eyes widened, he squeezed his own shut.

His lips stayed on yours for a while, he couldn't even breathe. His grip on your chin was tight. As if he wanted to express all his feelings with this kiss.

Finally, he pulled back, and you were both out of breath. Sanzu's face was bright red. He wasn't used to things like this.

"Wha- What was that just now?!"

"I.. tried to speak but you cut me off. I couldn't stand it.."

Sanzu couldn't look you in the eyes, and you were still in shock.

"What? Why would that be a reason to kiss?!"

Sanzu raised an eyebrow at your reaction; this was definitely not the reaction he was expecting. After all, he thought you were in love with him. Finally, he spoke with a confused expression as he looked into your eyes.

“I’m.. in love with you?”

Yes, you were surprised by the kiss, but this was something you never expected. This boy, who you had been shipping Mikey with for months, was in love with you. You thought he was joking.

“You fucking serious right now?”

Sanzu's eyebrows finally furrowed, both stressed and still confused.

"Of course I'm serious! I've been in love with you for months!"

"Weren't you gay?!"

You both froze. Sanzu blinked for a few times, he never expected something like this.

"What the fuck?! I'm not gay or anything! Where did you get that from?"

"I was shipping you and Mikey, I thought you liked him or something!"

He froze when he heard this, but a few seconds later he burst out laughing. He had never imagined that this was why you'd been helping him for months.

"I'm not in love with Mikey or anything, I'm in love with you."

You still couldn't accept that he was in love with you. You never tried to look good next to him, you were always in your natural state, and... he was in love with you?!

Sanzu's expression started to fall for a moment as he looked at you.

"And... I thought you liked me. I'm sorry I kissed you-"

"No no wait! I didn't say I didn't love you- I mean, okay, I didn't say I did either, but that doesn't mean I'm going to reject you!"

Sanzu's eyes widened, he was getting very excited. He leaned his head forward a little and moved closer to you.

"So.. will you be with me??"

It was so sweet to see his excited and eager expression, a smile appearing on his face. You leaned forward and kissed one of the scars on the corner of his mouth.

“Yes, I will be with you.”

Sanzu froze when you kissed one of his biggest insecurities, but then he smiled. Mikey wasn't on her mind, only you.

"Then you're mine from now on. But I don't want any more 'Mikey stalking dates'. Let's go on normal lovers dates."

He said with a teasing smile on his face as he leaned in and kissed your lips again at the end of his words.
