It wasn’t that he didn’t care, not that he wanted to ignore the text messages and phone calls, there was just this cloud of discomfort looming over his head, making him ignore every attempt of people to interact with him in some way. Even if it was Uta. He probably just wanted to play another prank on him or rant about something that didn’t hold any importance, but after the 4th missed call Renji felt as if it might have been something more serious.
“He won’t give up.. will he?” There was no need for anyone to answer that question, as he already knew that Uta was a stubborn one. Should he...? Renji sighed, if he ever wanted another moment of peace and quiet in his life he should probably answer Uta’s messages.
“... huh...?”
What he could gather from them was the last thing he expected, so Uta was really distressed and no matter how much he did not want to trust him... when he honest, completely honest he did care about Uta more than he would ever care admit.
“Can’t help it I guess...” Sure, he could still pretend that he didn’t care but the longer it took Uta to pick up the phone the more Renji felt his heart sink. “Uta! ... sorry for answering your calls just now... I read your messages. You can stay here if you want to.”
