pairing: minami ryusuke x readerĀ
--------------------------------------------------------
ryusuke stares out of his small dreary apartment, the moonlight shines over his face and the breeze from the slightly agape window makes its way into the room.
he was feeling restless once again.
itās been about three months since he last saw you. the last image of you he had was of your sleeping face, you looked as cute as ever laying there unaware of what would occur later on.
he recalls that night well.
he had come to your house as he usually did after āworkā smiling as he walked through the beaded door of your living room.
āyesā¦myā¦loveā he heard you say slowly and broken from the kitchen that was attached to the living room and walked in further, seeing you chopping up some vegetables with a cigarette hanging from your lips. you wore a long black dress that hugged her body well that it was hardly modest looking on you and paired it with a small light pink apron, and some vintage brown mules. your hair was tied up away from your face.
he smiled as he placed his work (runaway) bag on the floor and walked around the breakfast bar towards you. your house wasnāt very big but it was nice enough for you and your roommate; nelle to share with occasional guests. the living room and kitchen were attached, equipped with a breakfast bar and two chairs, the house had a small hallway that went up stairs to the bathroom and two bedrooms, both rooms having a balcony facing different directions.
āwhat are you making?ā he asked while wrapping his arms around you from behind, placing a kiss on your cheek partially to distract you from him stealing the cigarette that was in your mouth.
you giggled softly, putting the knife down onto the chopping board. āa salad to go with the salmon i just put in the oven for us.ā
he hummed and exhaled the smoke from the cigarette, going around to sit on the stools opposite your cooking station. although ryusuke appeared normal and fine, he wasnāt. he was savouring these last moments with you and planning his goodbye in his head.
āhow was work my love?ā you asked while bending down to check on the salmon, poking at it with a fork.
ryusuke took a moment to think about how things were with the gangā¦ things were not going smooth to say the least, two of his boys were caught during a heist, it caused the rest of the gang to become wary about what theyāre doing, they were in a vulnerable position and could be targets for another gang attack. he sighed, taking another hit.Ā
āitās been okayā¦the office has been rather quiet recentlyā¦not much actionā¦ā he told you half a lie. you didn't really know the full his nature of work, he told you he worked in a firm when you first met to cover his tracks. any time you asked about his work he'd avoid talking too much about it.
āiām sure things will pick up again soon.ā you smiled genuinely as you stood up slowly again.Ā
it hurt his heart to lie to you but he had no choice. it pained him even more knowing this was the last time heād see youā¦
ryusuke sighs at the memory as he reaches out for the pack of cigarettes at his bedside table along with his lighter. you guys hadnāt done anything significant that night, it was like any of the other nights you shared enjoying each others company. at times he wishes he couldāve been more honest with you in your relationship, especially that night.Ā
āi miss youā¦ā he says quietly looking down the small photo he had of you inside the locket that hung around his neck. you were the one that had given him that necklace.
ryusuke's mind goes back slowly to another memory as he stared at your picture.
āwhatās that around your neck?ā ryusuke pointed at your chest, touching the locket lightly, brushing past your boob. you were both a little drunk and handsy, the two of you shared a bottle of red.
āthis? itās just a necklace, i bought it a while ago at a flea market because it was cute.ā your heart jumped at his sudden touch but you shrug it off as you look down at your chest, grabbing a hold of your necklace, trying to play it cool.Ā
ācan i have a closer look at it?ā ryusuke asked staring deeply at the necklace.Ā
āuh sureā¦ā you slowly take the necklace off and hand it to him. you were a little confused as to why he was so engrossed by it but you didn't mind showing him. your chest now felt expose so you placed your hand over it.
he hummed as he looked closer at it from all angles and dangled it in front of you. āthis is a locket.ā
āwhat? no itās not, itās just a pend-āĀ
āno look-ā ryusuke held the pendant on it's side, tearing it open revealing it as a locket. āitās a locket darlin.ā
you gasped, falling into laughter and into ryusukeās lap as you had no idea. ādo you want it? since you figured that out.ā
āwhat? you want me to have this?ā he looked down at you in slight disbelief.
āyeah, why not, you can add a little picture of me and wear me everywhere.ā you winked and joked, feeling a little flirty due to the alcohol which caused him to grin widely.
āokay let me take a picture of you now thenā ryusuke pulled out his antique polaroid camera, facing it down in your direction. āā¦readyā¦ā
āwait no! my hair. let me sit u- can we do this tomorrow? i wasnāt prepared for th- ' you panic at his sudden action.
āaaaaaaandddd smileeeeeā
you quickly forced a smile as you knew there was no getting through to your drunk boyfriend when he put a camera in front of you. the camera flashed brightly and an image began to print.
ryusuke smiled grabbing the photo and laying it to the side.
āi know that photo is sh-ā
ābe quiet and let it appear, i know itās the most beautiful picture iāve ever taken.ā he didn't feel like listening to your negative comments, he truly saw you as an angel so it bothered him at times when you'd make such comments but understood it was just occasional insecurities coming through.
you rolled your eyes getting up from his lap to lean on his side instead, waiting with him. once the photo appears you just stared at it, unsure of whether you liked the picture or not and turned to ryusuke, surprised at how happy he looked.
āthis is the best locket photo in the world darlinā thank you.ā ryusuke planted a kiss on your cheek, making you to blush, you look away from him and he chuckled at your reaction, finding it cute how bashful you could be at times.
he stood up to look for some scissors, cutting around the image carefully and placed it into the locket, clasping it around his neck.
āyouāre now with me whenever i go.ā he smiled softly, walking back towards you and planted another kiss but this time on your lips ever so sweetly, leaning so slightly as you were still sat on the couch.
you returned the kiss and smiled up at him.Ā
'you truly are with me forever y/n' he falled back on his bed again remembering another memory, putting his cigarette out lazily with his arm stretched out to his ashtray.
