Well, shit.

You had no doubt in your mind that this was a conversation that you were not supposed to walk in on, though it would've been hard not to hear what was being said regardless, by the sheer volume of Suna's voice.

The words you heard him say stung something terrible. It felt as if all of the air had been knocked out of your chest, like a metaphorical punch to the gut. The world could have swallowed you whole right then and there, and you would've rejoiced.

You looked at your boyfriend, who only continued to stare at you, eyes wide with fear, guilt written all over his face. If he was trying to hide his guise, he was doing a horrible job at it.

You looked over to Suna next, who only sported a blank expression. If he was feeling some type of way, you would never know. Contrary to Yuji, Suna was a master at hiding his emotions.

"Is someone going to tell me what the fuck is going on?" You whisper-shouted, as you were still mindful of your words that threatened to grace small ears, despite the fact that your emotions were running rampant.

Suna felt like this was his moment to shine. He finally had his chance to tell you everything, even if his intentions weren't in the best of interests. You still deserved to know the truth, in any case.

"The other night, when I went out for drinks... I saw your boyfriend sucking the face off of some other woman." He cooed confidently. He didn't mean to sound so smug about it, but in his defense, the smugness was aimed at Yuji, not you.

Yuji carefully watched your expression, trying to take in any hint of your reaction before you responded.

Truth be told, you weren't even surprised at what Suna had told you. Part of you always knew that the rumors were true, you just never had any solid proof.

For you, this seemed good enough. Though you may not have seen it with your own eyes, Rin's were second best.

After all, he wouldn't have any reason to lie to you, would he?

Still, it hurt.

It hurt so fucking badly.

The confirmation lifted a weight off your shoulders that you had been carrying around for some time, only to replace it with something even heavier.

All of the times that Yuji had promised you that you're the only one, all of the kisses and 'I love you's' - the way that he would shower you with affection with gentle touches and warm, strong arms wrapped tightly around you...

Were those not only for you?

How many others were able to experience Yuji's love, when it was supposed to be your turn?

What about the more intimate moments? When he would tell you that no one else could make him feel as good as you do... how he would say 'It's all yours baby. All for you,' while he fucked you into the mattress - clearly those were the boldest of lies he had ever told.

It made you sick to your stomach to think about how often he may have come on to you after being with someone else, and how willing you were to let him into your bed, being none the wiser.

You felt tears prick your eyelids. Tears that you fought so hard to hold back.

This was just embarrassing. All of your dirty laundry coming to light in-front of your client, who was the one who actually witnessed Yuji's unfaithfulness first hand.

"Baby, please... can we talk about this somewhere else?" Yuji asked, no, begged.

"Did you do it?" You spat, sucking down your tears so that they wouldn't dare fall for the likes of him.

"I-I... yes."

He was tired. Tired of hiding it from you. In a way, this was a weight off of his shoulders as well. He had been carrying this secret for a long time, it almost felt good to finally let you know.

You closed your eyes, sighing deeply before inhaling another sharp breath.

"Then we have nothing more to talk about." You answered, coldly. "Please leave."

Yuji looked at you with pleading eyes, silently begging for you to reconsider. You turned your nose up at him, not being able to look at him for another second.

"You heard her, out." Suna commanded, ushering the man out the door and locking it up tight.

Once he turned back to you, he could see how much this was affecting you. Your normal, cheerfully warm and gentle nature was now icy, and frigid.

Your eyes shifted left and right, as you tried to make sense of what had just happened. Suna reached out to touch your arm, offering some minor attempt at comforting you. He was never good at these types of things because, to be honest, most of the time he really didn't care.

In this instance, though, he truly felt for you. After all, the two of you had something in common now.

It would have been perfect, in his mind. The two of you going up to his bedroom so that he could make you feel better the best way he knew how...

Except, you didn't react the way that he had hoped.

You scowled, smacking his hand away from you as you prepared your lecture.

"Why didn't you tell me about this first thing, instead of toying with me? Dangling me infront of Yuji like a piece of meat?" You retorted, anger enveloping your words as you recalled how boldly flirtatious he was with you all night.

It made so much sense, now.

"I just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine, let him see how it feels." He defended, becoming tense himself after your raged reaction.

"That wasn't your choice to make!" You were now shouting, almost forgetting where you were at in the heat of the moment.

"Do you realize how embarrassing this is for me?" You continued. "Sitting there, having dinner as the two of you enjoyed fucking with me, while I'm completely oblivious to what's going on?!"

He's taken aback at your venomous words. He never thought you were capable of this, you always seemed so calm and collected.

"This is what I get for sticking up for you? I was just trying to help."

"Were you? It seems like the only one you cared about helping was yourself." You couldn't hold it in anymore. Everything you had buried for the last 20 mins or so had finally bubbled up to the surface.

"What did you think was going to happen? I'd break up with Yuji and jump right into your bed?" You hissed.

"Well-"

You only could stare at Rin while he tried to make it seems far less worse than he intended it to be, though what you had asked did have some truth in it. That's exactly what he had expected, at-least, that's what he had hoped would happen.

"I'm sorry. I can't do this."

You stomped your way up the stairs, only to be met with Reiki's watery eyes once you reached the top. He clutched onto his Squirtle plushie for dear life, as he had watched your whole argument go down.

You immediately scooped him up, wrapping your arms tightly around his small body. You didn't even realize he had been watching you, you instantly felt absolutely horrible that he had to witness this version of yourself.

You carried him into his room, setting him down on his bed as tears silently fall onto his plump cheeks.

"Are you going to leave?" He sniffled, staring at you with dejected eyes.

You opened your mouth to speak, but you weren't sure what you could even say right now. You were planning on leaving. Though, you couldn't exactly tell him that.

"That's what mommy did." He continued. "Her and daddy had a big fight, then she left."

"Reiki..."

"Please don't leave." He muttered, his lip quivering, on the verge of completely breaking down before you.

It surprised you, seeing him reacting like this. You were sure he wasn't very fond of you by the way he acted towards you, although you found it adorable. It seemed he has grown attached to you, despite only have known you for a few days.

You felt the same. These kids meant so much to you.

Fuck, now you were crying. You felt your own warm, salty tears stream down your cheeks as you watched the broken little boy sob in-front of you.

You grabbed onto him, pulling him into your chest as you rubbed his back, consoling him.

You pulled away, looking right into his eyes as you cupped his face into your hands, thumbs wiping away his tears.

"I'm not going to leave you. I promise."
