He loves hates you; Yoru x Reader
Yoru claims he hates you, so why do you still love him?
Warnings: Yoru is mean, mention of being hurt by a partner
You and Yoru were once friends, but something changed one day, and he decided that he hated you. You had no idea what had happened or what you had done, but he seemingly hated you and wouldn’t tell you why.
Little did you know, he didn’t actually hate you. Yoru had realised that he had developed feelings for you and was terrified so he decided to push you away so he wouldn’t get hurt.
The two of you went from talking every day to him glaring at you every time he saw you. In his mind, he had to make it realistic, no matter how much your sad face hurt him.
However, even when you two weren’t talking, the feelings he harboured for you never faded, much to his dismay. It was annoying him; the urge to always protect you when you two were working together had him watching you more than the enemies and unable to properly focus; he didn’t even want to rift-walk in case you got hurt.
Despite having harshly cut you off, Yoru couldn’t help but feel extremely hurt when you got a boyfriend.
He was some civilian or something, he didn’t want care enough to find out.
No, he didn’t listen to Phoenix and Jett talk about it whilst pretending to be annoyed, what are you talking about!?
He hated your boyfriend with a fiery passion. He wasn’t good enough for you, you deserved better. You deserve him, but he doesn’t deserve you, at least in his mind.
Yoru’s ‘hatred’ for you only grew worse since you got a boyfriend, leaving you even more confused and very hurt. You started to hate him too.
You hated his sudden feeling change, how he treated you, how he abandoned you just as you were going to confess to him… You hated him!!!!
So why did you end up in front of him after being beat up by your ex-boyfriend…?
“Who did this to you!?” You could see Yoru’s rage, no matter how hard he tried to appear calm. Naturally, you assumed it was because you had come to him.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know where else to go.” You sobbed.
He stood there with clenched fists, ready to kill whoever hurt you.
No, there’s something more important first. Someone more important. He thought and opened his door.
Wordlessly, you entered, and he told you to sit down whilst he went to grab some things to help clean your wounds.
“This is going to hurt.” He said before beginning to clean your wounds.
You two sat in silence for a while, only your occasional winces (which hurt him more than he’d like to admit) being heard.
“Ryo?” You broke the silence.
He tensed at the use of his real name. He missed hearing you say it…
“What?” Whilst he sounded blunt, he was genuinely curious what you had to say.
“Why do you hate me?”
That hurt him, yet he sighed, ignoring the question.
“Please tell me what I did wrong.” You whispered, tears falling down your cheeks.
“You didn’t do anything.”
“Then why won’t you talk to me anymore? Why do you treat me like dirt?”
Yoru dropped the equipment he was using.
“Because I love you, okay!? Are you happy now?” He snapped, immediately regretting speaking the moment he realised what he had said. “Forget it. You should go, I’m done.”
You were frozen in place as he tossed the cleaning rags in the trash.
It took a few moments for his words to sink in, but the moment they did, you immediately grabbed his hand and spun him to face you. Was he blushing…?
“I said forget it,” his words were supposed to be aggressive, but they just sounded sad…
“I love you too, Ryo. I always have.” Your words had his eyes widening.
“But why? Even after everything I did to you?”
You nodded.
“You really are an idiot,” he said, yet there was no malice behind his words, especially when there was the tiniest smile on his lips.
“Only for you,”
Yoru simply shook his head.
“Well, I suppose you could be my idiot. If you want that is?
