It was Inui's birthday, and you had planned the perfect gift you feel he might like, love even, you had bought it a week before his birthday so that you can wrap it good
you were excited for it,and so is Inui because he knows you already have a gift for him,he really doesn't know what is the use of hiding it from him when it was very obvious
However, in his birthday, on your way to him,you had lost your present
Which leaves you frantically looking for everywhere making sure Inui don't know it
You had even begged Koko to help you but all he said his
"Do you have money?" Which you don't have at the moment because you're saving up for you and your boyfriend
You curse your brain for easily forgetting things you're supposed to
It's now afternoon, and you still hadn't seen Inui to greet him personally, since you want to greet him with the gift,which is missing
While on Inui's side, he is quite sad thinking that you had forgotten his birthday, the special day he's been waiting for the past week,his first birthday you two will spent together
Even after the birthday greets and gifts from Koko and the others,it still didn't satisfy his greed,if you may call it
It's already night, and he hadn't received and greet or present from you, which makes it official for him you don't care for him that much
However,before he could go to sleep,he heard a knock
Thinking it's you,he excitedly go downstairs to open the door,and it is you,who is sweating very much?
"Y/n!"
He immediately hugged you,worried that something may have happened to you that's why you're late
You hugged him back,panting as you had finally found the fricking present that was at the kitchen counter
'How'd it even got there?'
You don't know
Inui dragged you inside of his house,and after you sit he go to get a towel to get rid of your stickiness
'Even though I have almost missed something important to him,he still care about me,well of course,I'm his girlfriend'
After everything's done,you both sit and you place something Infront of him
a present was place at the coffee table in front of him,the one he's been waiting for the whole day
"Happy Birthday love" kiss his cheeks and hug him
He is now a tomato by how red his face is
'How cute' you thought as he hugs you back tightly too,burying his face into the crook of your neck
It started when you were rambling to him about knitting a sweater but was too lazy to do so
At first he was like 'What about my sweaters?' but then he eventually planned to personally knit a sweater for you because you can't
He watches videos online on 'How to knit a sweater' and he wouldn't lie, his patience could NEVER, but for you sure he have unlimited patience
At the beginning, he's like 'This have to be thick enough to protect Y/n from the cold'
He rarely tell you to cover up yourself and just straight out give you all his jackets or sweaters and make you wear them because he's shy (sometimes when he have enough courage, he himself wear the jacket to you)
He had to work on it while hiding it from you because he wants it to be a surprise
The pattern of the supposed to be sweater was fine at first, but then you told him how your friend is knitting a sweater for you that is going to be finished soon telling him how 'cute' it is even though its not yet finished
You know what he did? He speed run it, wanting to give you his knitted sweater first before your friend
And it ended up being ugly, he doesn't care though, as long as he gives it to you first, he knows that you won't get angry at him no matter how ugly it gets
That is true, even if he gives you the ugliest sweater in the world, as long as its from him and his efforts, you will be happy
And the day he calculated your friend might give you the sweater, he gave it and wear it to you
You were speechless of course, too happy he's actually remembering all the things you talk about despite not acting like it
You thank your friend for the sweater and gave her her favorite food, but you just hid the sweater and wore Rindou's the whole day, while cuddling with him
Anyways, after that he bought you various gorgeous sweaters he knew you would love
You weren't really supposed to be here since you hate loud place, especially the club, but your bestfriend had forced you to go saying that she has to go see her online boyfriend, dragging you with her without letting you have your say
And this is the exact reason why you don't like going at the clubs, because you know that HE will be here, and it will make everything awkward, Haitani Rindou, the name that got imprinted into your mind over the years that you had both spent time with each other, the memories of the time that you cherished so much without anyone knowing, even him, and would love to go through again
Everything would have been okay if you were strong enough to protect yourself, he wouldn't have to leave you if you were not in danger, you both love each other very much and you both know that, but the thought of you dying still gives him nightmares, he wouldv'e rather love you from afar than see you die in his arms
a guy had just flirted with you a while ago, a drunk one but you pushed him away not wanting to do anything with him
And so that's what got you here, sitting where its not loud that much, a glass of alcohol in hands
Then suddenly someone sit beside you, and you look at the person only for both of your eyes to widen themselves, the immediately looking away, sweat now rolling down your skin, drinking a sip
"Oh, um, How are you?" you ask him with courage finally flowing through your veins, you wouldn't lie, you missed him so much and you know he does too
"I'm okay, you?" He seems kinda happy at the fact that you still talked to him despite him broking your heart, and he is because after 10 long year, he is now talking to you once again just like back then
You may not know but even after you two had broken up, he still looks after you from afar keeping you safe
"I'm fine actually, every things fine since my friends are always with me"
"I'm glad that you're not sad then" there it had gotten quiet again, however the awkwardness in the air has now left and has been replaced by a comfortable feeling
"....rry" Rindou said but you didn't get what he said
"Huh?" you asked looking at him who is looking down
"I'm sorry, for back then" he had finally completed
"Its fine, plus you did it for my sake anyway" you giggle smiling at him, glad that even him still remembers everything, that he didn't actually forgot everything about you, while he just stare at yours smile
'Beautiful, as always'
He coughs straightening his sitting position while you were just confused why he did so
"Anyway, who was that guy you were with?" he had finally freed his question, it has been bugging him when he saw you with another guy, as selfish as may seem, he doesn't want you to be together and love someone else that's not him
"Him? Oh he was just a random drunk guy, he's not really my type" you say shrugging at the thought of that random guy who's breath is like a durian's
"Then who's your type?"
"You"
Both your eyes widen at this, it was a slip of the tongue, you were so sleepy now so you don't really think of what you say
"Huh?" he's now looking at you straight in the eyes, blushing so hard, there it goes again, after so many years he had again felt that butterflies whenever your near and worsens when you compliment him
"I-I mean you, I-Im asking you what's your type!!"your so embarrassed right know, you got used flirting with him that it literally came from nowhere
'damn this alcohol'
"OH" both of you are quiet now
The alcohol that you had drink a while ago is now taking its effect
He was just taking in the comfortable moment of you that he may not experience again, then suddenly he had felt a something on his shoulder, looking to the right, there he saw your head leaning on his shoulder, eyes droopy
"You know, I have always forgiven you, I love you you know"
His eyes widen, the suddenly smiling, he had decided, he wouldn't coward up anymore, he wants to be with you and nothing can stop him, since he now has the strength to protect her unlike back then, where he still that weak guy who knows nothing but fighting, he is now one of the executives of the strongest organization in Japan, he can protect you and will give you everything that will make you happy
"Goodnight, love"
||
You were just peacefully sleeping on your bed then a loud ring woke you up
"Ughh, my head hurts as fuck"
You groan as your head throbbed from pain of last alcohol
You get your phone that is miraculously at the bedside table
You just tap the green button without looking at the name caller, and it turns to be your friend worrying about you
'Where were you?!I was looking for you the whole night but you're gone!'
"Huh?"
'Don't 'huh' me! Don't you know how worried i was?!Things could've happened to you!'
Your friend continues to ramble but you were stuck thinking of who you were with last night, then it had finally click
"Oh men"
'Are you sure your okay?'
"Yes, yes i am"
and with that your conversation ends
You woke up planning to go to the bathroom when you saw something at the table, a note with medicine beside it, and upon reading it a wide smile was drawn on your face
'Good morning love, Here's the medicine, there's also soup at the kitchen, and when your heads not aching anymore, feel free to contact me:)
