I’m usually a lurker, but I’ll try doing a request. :) Can you do something where Camus’s S/O has cut off a bunch of friends who didn’t actually care about them, and the S/O is completely fine, but Camus does something for them and checks up on them anyway. He spends more time around them (like showing up to have lunch with them at their work) and then says something like “well, that means there’s more of your time for me...” when he gets caught? (Sorry, if that’s a lot)
My first request!!! :D
And don’t worry too much about having too much detail. Tbh a lot of detail is good, so I least know what I’m working with.
This is the first request I’ve gotten on this blog, so I hope you enjoy it! :)

(B/A/L/N) = bitch-ass liar’s name lol
When you first met those wolves disguised in sheep’s clothing, you thought they had your back. You thought that they’d always be there to support you - even on the days when all you could really do was survive. You thought you had a strong support system when all hope was lost. Oh, how wrong you were.
It all started when one of them kept begging you and everyone else in the group chat for help when she got evicted from her home. Seems harmless enough, right? Well, you realized after about a week or so that she started turning down some of the help she received: job offers, letting her stay with other friends for a night or two, one of them even allowed her to live with him rent free until she could find a job! You, however, were friends with her former roommate and found it a little suspicious when she started turning down even the kindest of gestures from the rest of the group. You decided to ask her roommate why she got evicted.
She said that she was evicted for not paying her portion of the rent on time, despite somehow having enough money to regularly buy from luxury brands multiple times a week. Turns out, this ex-friend was also a pathological liar who constantly made up ridiculous stories when she had to explain why she couldn’t pay her part of the rent like a good roommate. Having had a terrible roommate yourself, you were furious that she’d pull stunts like that. You decided to call her out - in the group chat.
You very quickly realized who your true friends were after a flurry of hate comments and insults were hurled at you. Some stood up for you, though you told them not to do so in fear that they’ll get hate next. The fake ones, however, just called you all sorts of nasty things and started talking about you behind your back. Once the friend who offered the liar his own place until she could find a job told you about that, you had enough. You blocked almost everyone in that group chat that day - only 3 or 4 people were left by the time you got done blocking everyone. One of those people even noted that no one ever helped you or the remaining friends when they were at their lowest points, yet everyone rushed to the ex-friends’ aid whenver they needed it. You should’ve recognized that level of toxictiy from the beginning, but hey, better late than never.
You never brought any of this up to your boyfriend - with all that idol work and royal duties he has, you figured he had enough on his plate. He didn’t need anymore drama than he already gets on a daily basis. One day, he noticed that you were still at home when you told him you were meeting some now ex-friends for lunch. “(Y/N)? Weren’t you supposed to meet (B/A/L/N) for lunch today?” Camus asked as he poured a little too much sugar in his tea. “Yeah,” you replied plainly. “But we don’t talk anymore. Turns out she’s nothing but a snake, like most of the other people I thought were my friends.”
You didn’t think much of what you said, nor did you pay much attention to how the Count of Silk Palace reacted to it. Although you didn’t notice, he grew concerned with what you said and how nonchalantly you said it. He thought you were hiding your true feelings from him, so he was determined to get you to open up about how you really were feeling.
As the days kept passing by, you were feeling much better than you did before letting go of those toxic friends. You felt a lot more free to talk to your remaining friends about whatever you wanted without worrying so much about accidentally offending anyone else in the chat. However, you also noticed that Camus seemed to want to be around you more often. Not that you didn’t want him to - you’re his S/O, after all - but it was quite out of character for the usually-cold as Permafrost sweets fanatic. It started off simple enough, he invited you to his home country to ‘help take your mind off of things,’ as he put it. You weren’t sure what he meant by that, but you shrugged it off and went along with it. However, you became suspicious when he’d ask you many times a day if you were okay - even if it was one of the best days of your life. You grew even more suspicious when he started showing up to your job to have lunch with you, which usually never happened due to your schedule conflicting with his.
It wasn’t until you noticed that he cancelled one of his scheduled meet-and-greets with fans that you realized he wasn’t telling you something important. You decided enough was enough, and finally got your chance to figure out what was going on after one of the practice sessions his group mate Reiji invited you to watch. “You’d tell me if there was something wrong, right Camus?” you asked once the rest of QUARTET NIGHT left the studio for the day. “Yes, of course, my love,” he replied, surprised that you would ask such a question. “Why do you ask?” “Well, you haven’t really been yourself lately,” you began, struggling to find a way to explain his odd behavior. “You’ve been hanging out with me more often than usual, somehow manage to get out of work to eat lunch with me everyday for the past few weeks, and even cancelled a meet-and-greet with your fans! That just doesn’t seem like something you would do.”
He didn’t respond at first, but something about the concern in his eyes made it click for you. “Is this about me cutting off (B/A/L/N) and the rest of those toxic friends?” you inquired. He reluctantly nodded his head and answered, “I was worried that you were feeling more lonely, so I wanted to spend more time with you so you didn’t have to feel that way, my love.” You tried to keep your composure after he said that, but you started laughing a few seconds later, confusing the poor Count of Silk Palace.
“Sorry, Camus,” you said as you started to calm down. “It’s just that... I was fine the whole time. You didn’t need to do all of that for me, heck, I should’ve seen the toxicity coming from a mile away! Besides, I still have you, the rest of QUARTET NIGHT, Haruka, STARISH, Tomo-chan, and even that group from the rival entertainment studio you don’t seem to be too fond of! How could I ever feel lonely knowing I have all these other friends who really care about me? Especially knowing I have a boyfriend as sweet and kind-hearted as you?” You pulled him in for a kiss after you said that, Camus’s confusion turning to shock then relief as he realized that you were, in fact, okay. After a few seconds, you pulled away before remarking, “But seriously, don’t go disappointing your fans for my sake next time, okay?”
