MASTERLIST
Some nerve. Some nerve Josuke, your boyfriend, had. The nerve of him to tell you what you should and shouldn't be feeling! How dare he!?
"Quit it. You're overreacting."
His words cut like a razor, they were enough to get you riled up.
"Seriously? So you're just going to allow those fans of yours to get way too chummy with you?"
You couldn't help feeling nothing but jealousy and rage whenever any of his fans would talk to him, fawning over him, acting differently for his attention.
"They're not fans! And nobody is getting chummy with anybody!"
His words fell on deaf ears. You knew damn well they wanted nothing more than to get in his pants.
"Are you kidding me..? You're defending them!?"
You couldn't believe he was actually standing up for those disgusting homewreckers.
"Yeah, so what if I am? They haven't done anything wrong!"
His words made your blood boil.
"They haven't done anything wrong, huh? Oh, apart from constantly trying to fucking break us up because they're so obsessed with you!"
You couldn't stand the fact so many people had their eyes on your boyfriend. Who do they think they are!?
"If anything you sound like you're the obsessed one! You sound like some clingy, possessive bitch!"
Silence fell upon the two of you, it was so quiet you could hear your own racing heartbeat and your boiling blood race around your body. Did he seriously just say that? Is that what he thinks of you? Does he even realise what he just said?
"Is that what you think of me...?" You asked him quietly, raising your eyebrow ever-so-slightly.
"Wait, no-" he realised what he said, immediately regretting it.
"If that's what you think then they can fucking have you." You spat, turning your back to walk back to your house. Originally, the plan was to go to his house as it was after school on a Friday afternoon. You normally had sleepovers every Friday, alternating between each others houses, but you were too pissed off to stay around.
"Baby, please, I didn't mean it." He tried getting through to you. You kept walking, not wanting to hear any more as you bite back the tears and walk in the opposite direction of his house. He reached an arm out but pulled it back, realising you both needed time to cool off. "Fuck!"
You heard his angered shout, but kept walking. It wasn't until you rounded the corner when he turned around and kept walking to his house, hoping his mother wasn't home so he wouldn't have to explain why you weren't with him like you normally were, and explain to her how he just accidentally called his girlfriend a bitch. It would definitely earn him a slap.
Tomoko was home, but she was cleaning the kitchen and the radio was on full volume ,so she didn't notice her son stomp upstairs to his room.
Why did he argue with you? Why didn't he try reassure you? Why did he say that? Why didn't he make you wait so he could apologise? Why? Why!? WHY!?
He let out a loud groan of frustration into his pillow as he collapsed on his bed, not even caring he was still in his school uniform. It was even starting to get dark out, but he didn't bother to get up to pull the curtains or to turn a light on. It doesn't matter. Nothing else matters. He said something horrible to someone he loves deeply and he had to be held accountable.
You should have slapped him. Why didn't you slap him? Damn you and your kind nature! Even in the face of insult you remained somewhat civil. Damn it all!
The conflicted boy let go of his pillow, shoving it down on the mattress beside him, to stare up at the shadowed ceiling of his bedroom. His mind was racing with ideas of what he could do to make it up to you, but nothing felt enough.
You, on the other hand, had broken down as soon as you shut the front door behind you as your parents were out of town for the week and wouldn’t return until next weekend. Is that really what he thinks of you? Had you really been that clingy and possessive? Was he right?
Breaking the deafening silence, your stomach let out a low growl reminding you that normally you would be sitting on the floor of your boyfriend’s living room watching a movie and eating fast food. Your stomach’s plea for food went ignored as you sighed and got up to go to your bedroom, not even bothering to shut the door before crumbling on your bed. It doesn’t matter. Nothing else matters. You were insulted by one of the few people you care tremendously for and you wanted answers.
As much as you wanted answers and courage, you also wanted to cry and sleep.
What was going to happen? Was he going to ignore you? Break up with you? Act like nothing happened? Surely not... right? These terrifying thoughts infected your mind, making your limbs tremble and your eyes grow heavy.

The next morning, Josuke got up earlier than usual. Normally, he would be cuddling with you into the late Saturday morning, but the cold pillow he was clinging onto reminded him that you weren’t there and that he had majorly messed up.
He groaned quietly into his pillow before getting up and stretching, realising he was still in his uniform. He slept all throughout the remainder of the evening and the night, explaining the early awakening. Disgusted, he tore off his uniform and headed for the bathroom. He wanted, no, he needed to make a good impression. He needed to see you. He needed to make it up to you.
When his lengthy shower had ended, he dried himself off and threw on some freshly washed clothes, he could still smell the cotton-scented laundry detergent as he sprayed the subtle vanilla cologne you liked so much all over him.
He walked downstairs to meet his mother, who was sipping coffee on the living room sofa while watching the morning news. Damn it.
“Since when do you wake up early?” She commented, shocked to see her son awake and dressed so nicely at this hour of the morning. She noticed the nicer-than-usual clothes and the sweet-smelling scents, growing her curiosity by the second. “What’s the occasion?”
“Long story short, I messed up and I need to make it up to (Y/N).” He awkwardly scratched the back of his neck, finally meeting eyes with Tomoko.
“Messed up..? What did you do?”
“Is this necessary? I don’t really want to talk about it, mom.”
“I need to know the severity of the situation! (Y/N) is perfect for you, I like her and she makes you happy.”
“Yeah, I know-”
“So tell me what happened.” She finished her coffee before putting the mug down on the side table beside her and facing her son again.
"I may or may not have...called (Y/N) a bitch-" the teenager looked everywhere apart from his mom, knowing she would immediately become furious with him.
"YOU DID WHAT!?" To say the woman was furious was an understatement, she couldn't believe her son would say such a thing to his own girlfriend! "You are going to go over there and apologise. Immediately."
This was something not even Crazy Diamond could fix.

You barely got any sleep last night: you kept drifting in and out of consciousness, your anxieties keeping you up until you got exhausted again. You were still in shock, denial even. You had hoped it was some horrible nightmare, and that you would wake up in his arms so he could comfort you and tell you he'd never say such a thing. But it wasn't. It wasn't a horrible nightmare and that made it all the more terrifying.
At around sunrise, which was early considering it was summer, you decided to just get up for the day. Maybe taking a long-awaited, steamy shower and making yourself some food would be the answer to your problems. Momentarily, at least.
When you hopped in the shower, the warm water was welcoming. It invited you to stay longer in the enveloping embrace, but you don't like the feeling of your fingertips when they've been in the water too long and they look more shrivelled up than prunes.
You had just finished drying your hair when you heard a knock at the door, making you nearly drop the hairdryer on your foot due to the sudden force. It sounded desperate. Was that possible?
"Coming!" You shouted, letting your mystery guest know that you weren't just ignoring them. Who could it be? It couldn't be Josuke... could it?
Starting to tremble, you walk down the stairs so you could greet your visitor... it was Josuke!
The panicked boy was also trembling, much more visibly than to his liking, and he could feel the sweat running down his back and forming in the palms of his hands. However, he was holding gifts in both hands so you couldn't see the sole reason for your boyfriend's annoyance. In one hand, he held a bag filled to the brim of your favourite treats and drinks, including some snacks from Tonio's. The other hand held a bouquet of your favourite flowers, ready to be put in a vase.
His blueberry eyes met yours for the first time since yesterday's altercation, you could see all the emotion waiting to burst from him and how he looked sadder than a kicked puppy.
"Josuke, what-" you had began speaking but he interrupted you so he could apologise before any tears spilled from his beautiful blue eyes. Damn his gorgeous genes!
"Listen, (Y/N), I am so so so damn sorry about what I said yesterday." That was all you needed to hear, but he kept going, "I never meant a word of it, I swear! I don't know why but I was feeling pissed and it lead to me snapping at you, and for that I'm sorry." He looked down, just the mention of what he did made him feel ashamed of himself. What kind of man treats the one he loves like that? "I understand if-"
"Shut up. Please." You sniffled, shuffling closer to him and looking up at him with a watery smile.
"(Y/N)?" His eyes met yours again, taking note of the tears threatening to spill from your angelic eyes.
"Come here, you big idiot." You opened your arms and your boyfriend, who was also on the verge of crying, put the plastic bag of treats as well as the flowers down at your feet and picked you up in a tight embrace. "I thought you hated me," you mumbled quietly but he could hear you because your head was rested on his shoulder.
"No, I could never hate you, baby!" He hugged you tighter at your confession, feeling guilty for making you feel such a way. He practically worshipped you, so to have you think he hates you? Wrong. Completely and absolutely wrong.
"I'm sorry," you nuzzled closer into his neck.
"Why are you saying sorry? You haven't done anything wrong!"
"I don't know."
"You don't have to apologise, not when I'm in the wrong and I'll do anything to make you feel better. You make me so happy, (Y/N), I really don't know how a guy like me was able to get someone like you. At the same time, I don't know where I'd be without you." He ranted, holding you close as humanly possible. He stopped when he felt his neck become increasingly wet with your tears, smiling softly and cherishing your tight embrace. Afraid that if he let go you would disappear.
"I love you, Josuke."
"I love you too, (Y/N)."
