A/N: I got inspired to write this because 1. I love Mito and his involvement with The Other Side lore and 2. I read pt. 1 and 2 of Set My Wings On Fire by @nirvanawrites111
A/N: Is it fucked up that I was lowkey giggling while writing this?
It was a quarter before midnight. The cold raindrops poured down from the sky, tapping against your black umbrella as you walked from your now ex boyfriend’s house. Your mind was racing although you were upset.. You weren’t as upset as you’d thought you’d be. It was more complicated than explained. When you and.. Him Mito broke up, you thought that hole in your heart could never be filled again. Too broken to fix. Too wounded to be cured. Even when you were in a new relationship, your mind was still in the past imagining that he was with you instead. You felt your chest start to close in on itself, your lungs burning, aching for a release as your eyes watered, tears threatening to spill down your cheeks like a waterfall. Fuck.
You grabbed your phone, smacking your teeth when realizing that it’s almost dead. You swallowed down your urge to scream and cause a scene despite the empty sidewalk you were occupying. You tried to think of a solution. Maybe call someone? Try to call a taxi? You only had 5 percent battery left. You go to phone a friend until you hear whistling through the rain. At first you didn’t think much of it until you recognized the tune of said whistling. A tune he created and would always mimic with his fingers or guitar.
“I’ve been looking for you (Y/N)” his gravelly voice still gave your spine chills. You kept walking but you knew he would follow you like he always did.
“I know you hear me speaking to you (Y/N)” You sigh and stop walking with your back turned to him.
“That’s not a nice way to greet your love now is it?”
“I love when you say my name angel” you could hear the cheekiness in his voice, making you more frustrated.
“There’s plenty that I want but I need you. I need to fix what we had” You scoffed.
“You need me? Even after everything you’ve done to me? I’d rather die”
“I visited death many times before darling so I know that’s an exaggeration from you”
“Can you just leave me alone? You’ve already ruined my life enough”
“If I really did ruin your life, you wouldn’t be standing to tell the tale, isn’t that right?”
“You’re fucking crazy.” You feel his eyes stare daggers into your back, piercing through your skin. Then he laughed but it didn’t sound joyful.
“I’d prefer the term, misguided, but I’ll play along with your game (Y/N) since I’m crazy” The air went stiff.
“Do you want me to show you crazy?” You flinched as you felt his warm breath brush against the nape of your neck, leaving goosebumps on your skin.
“What a shame. I was going to show you what I did with the cunt’s body once you left the apartment” You turn around and face him, hoping you didn’t hear what you just heard.
“And you wonder how I always find you. A birdie told me that you had a boyfriend but I originally thought to leave you alone until I found out what the bastard did behind your back so I took matters into my own hands but I did get a little help” A wave of nausea hit you when he smiled despite saying the most corrupt thing.
“How did you.. Why?!” Mito wraps his arm around your waist, pulling you in closely.
“Because you’re mine and I always protect what’s mine”
“I’m not yours anymore Mito. You can go to jail for doing this” He smiles wickedly again.
“As if the police would catch me and as long as you don’t say a word, everything will be fine. I didn’t train a snitch, did I?” His dark eyes bored into yours, making you look away from the intense gaze.
“No.. you didn’t but this isn’t right! You killed my ex and expect me to go back to you after doing that!” You tried to push him off but it was pointless, him being twice your size in every way.
“Why would I expect something that I know is going to happen? The old (Y/N) would fawn over it”
“Well I’m not the old (Y/N) anymore, I matured”
“For the worse, you lost the fun in you” He chuckled, frustrating you.
“No, I realized that being with you would cause me nothing but hell”
“But you were happier then, no?” You bit your tongue, unable to defend yourself. You were happier with him. He took care of you when he wasn’t spiraling out of control. He loved you intensely, in ways not even a normal person can mimic. He would carve his own heart out and give it to you to prove his love for you. Though it did scare you at first, not wanting Mito to harm himself to show that he loved you but as time grew, you embraced it.
“I was happier but it only for a little while”
“So you’re saying you weren’t happy with me?”
“Look me in my eyes when you say that.” You look back at Mito, seeing an unrecognizable glint in his eyes, instantly swallowing your words.
“Just as I thought. You’re a bad liar (Y/N). You swear up and down the street that you hate my guts and wished I left you alone but you secretly love it. You love when you’re all I think about. You enjoy corrupting my mind, you’re not innocent in this.” He hisses but his expression wasn’t anger, he was amused. You were caught, you didn’t know what to say in rebuttal. No matter how many times you said no, your heart said yes. Your heart said go back into his arms and everything will be okay. You didn’t realize that you started crying until you felt Mito’s rough hands caress your cheek, wiping your tears.
“I just.. Felt lost after we split. I didn’t know what to do”
“Neither did I, which is why I kept looking for you. You complete me (Y/N) but you kept running from me”
“Because I was afraid that everything wouldn’t be the same again” He chuckled.
“Nothing in this puny little world could make me love you any less darling. You’re my angel, the piece that makes me whole” Your heart swelled at his words.
“All I ask for is you to take me back and we try again” He takes your hand and presses his lips against your knuckle, right on the small “m” scar on your right hand.
“I want to try again” You whisper, the dead butterflies coming back to life.
