Hello~ Could you do Ichimatsu having a fight with thier s/o and he accidentally insults them in the crossfire, causing the s/o to be upset. Ichi feels bad about what he did so he ends up apologizing to them. Ahh sorry if that doesn't make sense, and sorry if it's long. Thank you for running such a great blog!
At first, it was cute. How easily they’d fall over, or how they’d knock off stuff from tables, or how they’d trip and Ichimatsu would conveniently swoop in to help them up. It was still cute when they started dating, especially when he asked them and they went to hug him and tripped on their face immediately after. It became less cute when, for their anniversary, Ichimatsu spent every last yen he had to get them a necklace, and they dropped it down a drain; from then on it just became less and less cute. They broke his favorite mug. They, literally, stepped on his toes. They broke a window. They knocked his mom down the stairs.
And, though he put up with all of it until now, today was the last straw.
Besides being probably the clumsiest person he’s ever known, [Name] was a very good and sweet person. They made him smile, laugh, and feel love like no other. He wanted to push past his frustrations with something he couldn’t help and show them around to meet his feline friends.
The day started tenderly, feeding the strays and spending time with one another. In fact, the worst they had done was trip a little on the corner of a garbage can.
Near the end, however, he brought them to the very shy strays. The ones that took Ichimatsu an our to befriend - and by Kitty Standard Time, that was a long time, especially in comparison to how easily every other cat loved him. But due to prolonged exposure to love and affection with Ichimatsu, these cats were rather accepting of [Name] because of their involvement with him.
Then, clumsily, they stepped on one of their paws.
The cat meowed in pain, hissed,and ran off, the other few following suit.”O-oh, I’m - I’m sorry, Ichimatsu. I didn’t mean to.” He could her that they were genuinely apologetic, as they usually were, but he couldn’t feel empathy for the words they were saying. Rather, he tried to coax the cats back to him, but it seems as though they no longer trusted him. “I, uh - re they not coming back out?”
Ichimatsu slowly turned to his partner. He must have looked really scary, because the look on [Name]’s face went from worried and apologetic to anxiety and fear.
“I - I’m sorry, Ichimatsu! Please, I-”
“No. Stop it.” Ichimatsu stood up. “No more apologizing. No more.I can’t - this is why I never take you anywhere, you know.” He took a step towards them, and they took a step back. “This is why I keep you at home, because otherwise, you - you ruin it! Every single time I want to do something nice for you, or with you, o-or anything, you just - you ruin it! Everything! You ruin everything! I’m getting so sick of trying to deal with it, you know.”
He finally took notice of how [Name]’s face was contorted, and how they were crying. Oh, oh crap. Now he feels bad.
“I -I’m sorry, I-I don’t mean to. I can, I’m just, I - I’m gonna go home. You don’t have to call me or anything. You don’t even have to be in a relationship with me anymore. I’m sorry.” They sniffed, and walked away.
Ichimatsu screwed up, big time. “[Name]!” He called out, trotting to meet up with them. “[Name], I-”
“No, no, it’s okay! Really, I sh-should, uh, go home. I’m sorry.” They began to pick up their pace.
Ichimatsu knew he had to do something. He messed up really, really bad. He ran out in front of them, and blocked the alleyway exit with his arms. “[Name], please, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” His hands dropped to his sides. “I didn’t mean that, I - I’ve just been frustrated recently with how clumsy you’ve been. It feels careless, and reckless,and - I do love you. I promise, I love you. I’ve just been getting really, uh, irritated with it though. I know you don’t mean to, so there’s really no way to fix it. I’m sorry.”
[Name] looked at him, in confusion, and began to cry again. Ichimatsu began to panic, thinking he had messed it up, but his partner ran to him and held him close.
“I just - I-I thought you had been falling ou-out of love with me…”
Ichimatsu jumped. “No, not at all.” He held them tightly. “I’m sorry I made you feel that way.”
“Well, it’s my fault.” They laughed sadly. “I’m the one who can’t keep it together, huh?”
“That’s not true.” Ichimatsu held them tighter. “I shouldn’t put so much pressure on you.”
“You just want to be happy - that’s okay.”
“Not at the expense of your happiness it isn’t.” They held each other for a long while, until Ichimatsu perked up again. “Do you want ice cream?”
