irritation. the bitter and annoying feeling spread through ryujin’s body as she heard your voice calling behind her. the familiar giggles of her friends echoed through her ears as you came closer.
“ryujin! hi, my love,” you chirped, wrapping your arms around her torso and resting your face against her back.
you didn’t see the way ryujin’s jaw clenched in annoyance and embarrassment. you didn’t hear her friends tease her for how you clung onto her. you were just so happy to be near her, she brought you comfort. ryujin, however, felt her eye twitch as her friends kept teasing her. she nudged you off and stormed off, muttering curse words under her breath.
you frowned as her friends’ giggles toned down. you didn’t have time to question why they were laughing and ran to catch up to your girlfriend.
“ryujin!” you called out, not missing the way her shoulders tensed up as she came to a halt.
“what’s wrong, what happened?” you said in between breaths, your frown deepening as she let out an exaggerated sigh.
she finally turned around to face you, and you took this as a chance to hold her but she shoved your arms away. you gasped, not used to the sudden cold behavior. yes, ryujin never showed you the same amount of physical affection that you showed, but never did she try to push you away.
“can you stop fucking touching me?” one stab.
“what do you mean? did i do something wrong?” you asked, suddenly anxious as your mind tried to piece together what you could’ve done to upset her.
“yes! do you know how embarrassing it is to have a girlfriend who never lets me breathe? you’re always on me, like give me some fucking space, y/n!” two stabs.
“always breathing down my neck, even my friends think it’s ridiculous! fuck off and let me live, will you?” three stabs, and your heart finally broke.
you just stared at her, hoping to find that she didn’t mean what she said, but her clenched jaw and furrowed eyebrows said enough. you simply muttered an “okay” as you turned around to head back to your house.
you didn’t cry, at least not as much as you thought you would. you. you just silently made your way home, overthinking everything of what ryujin said, wondering if you have been as good as a partner as you originally thought.

over the next few weeks, it was a bit very lonely. instead of going to bed with you on top of her, you had your back to her. usually, when you came home from work, you’d plop on ryujin’s lap and ramble about her day. now, you just flashed a smile and head into the bedroom or study.
ryujin pretended to not mind or care, but truthfully, she had gotten used to the routine of you throwing yourself on her at any given opportunity. she never realised how warm she felt when you held her at night. tugging on her hair frustration, ryujin recalled what she said to you that day.
she can’t even think of a time where you cursed at her or yelled at her. always so gentle and patient, yet she decided to hurt your feelings because of embarrassment. her head snapped up and she faced the door upon hearing you making your way inside. she immediately stood up and quickly made her way to you.
“y/n, we need to talk, please.” ryujin pleaded, as a curious look took over your face.
slowly, you nodded and followed ryujin back to the couch as you both sat down. you waited for her to say something, your eyes staying on her while you wait. finally she sighed, before meeting your eyes.
“i’m really sorry,” she said, voice just barely above a whisper.
she cleared her throat before continuing, “i’m so sorry for what i said to you. i shouldn’t have said it like that— actually i shouldn’t have said any of that stuff at all.”
you just sat there, confused and shocked. snapping back into it, you frowned as it was your turn to be irritated and frustrated.
“you really hurt me, ryujin,” you sneered. “i can’t just forgive you that easily.”
ryujin ripped her gaze from you and looked down at her lap, shame filling her instantly. she knew she crossed the line, but she really wanted to fix this.
“you don’t have to forgive me right away, i don’t expect you to,” she spoke, lifting her gaze again to meet yours. “but please know i’ll do anything to fix it.”
you pondered her words before frowning, not sure how to feel. ryujin watched your body tense up. she bit her lip before hesitantly pulling you close, holding you tightly. you felt a smile creep onto your face as you cuddled into her.
“i love you, i’m sorry that i made you feel like i don’t,” she whispered, kissing your temple. “i’m sorry it took me yelling at you to realize i actually adore you and your affection.”
your smile grew at her words as you looked up at her. she mirrored your expression as you kissed her gently.
“i love you too, ryujin. please don’t push me away anymore.”
ryujin knew what she had to do to prove to you that you can trust her, but for now? she just wanted to hold you the way she should’ve held you before.
“i won’t, i promise.”
