Epiphany. [Guren Ichinose x Reader] ➥ Book 2. [Semi-hiatus]

Epiphany ~ Chapter 32.

[Heh. This is almost a whole chapter of Gureshin ft Y/N beefing no holds barred, enjoy 😌]

-Y/N's POV-
I woke up the next day, relieved to find Guren's arm resting on my shoulder the way it was when I fell asleep.
What happened last night definitely lifted some of the tension I was feeling but that was only thanks to Guren who did a great job at making me feel so comfortable and reassuring me when I needed it.

I yawned, looking up at him to observe his sleeping form. As creepy as it was, he looked so pretty with his long eyelashes, messy hair and soft breathing as he slept peacefully.

It didn't last long for it to end, however as he loved to ruin moments like this,

"Watching me while I sleep? How creepy." He muttered before opening his eyes,

"Hmph, I was going to compliment you, but you woke up and chose to be irritating." I pouted, crossing my arms,

"I know I look good sleeping without you having to tell me, anyway." He smirked, maintaining eye contact with me,

"Actually...I just found it adorable how you still drool." I lied, pinching his cheek,

He frowned in disbelief, "Sure I do." But he still wiped his face with his arm as a precaution, and I burst out laughing,

"Got ya, feels great to humble you." I sat up, yawning,

"At least I don't actually drool in my sleep." He also got up and shot me a pointed look,

"I don't either." I raised an eyebrow,

"You keep believing that." He fake sighed, his grin reappearing once he saw my face fall from its victorious smirk back to a frown,

"Or don't stare at me while I sleep." I mumbled, crossing my arms in defeat and he laughed, cupping my face between his hands and placing a peck on my forehead.

"You need to get ready for your appointment." He reminded me before squishing my face just as I was about to speak,

"Keep going and I'm going to end you before any war does."

~•~

And so he kept going,

"Aw come on, Y/N- are you really still mad at me?" Guren glanced at me briefly, one hand on the wheel as he poked my cheek,

"Don't touch me, you're so jarring." My brows had not relaxed from being furrowed as I fell victim to Guren's teasing. My hormones were making me react more than usual but I didn't want to admit that, especially when he was getting a kick out of my reactions.

"Damn, Guren, you must be on some bullying shit today?" Shinya awed from over the phone, I had called him on a burner phone just to complain,

"Shinya, when is Guren going back over to you guys, I'm willing to ship him off early."

"End of this week."

I knew I would feel sad when the time actually came but not while Guren was prodding and cooing at me.

"Ship me? I'm not a package and even if I was that would cost you."

"That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

"With what money, daddy's funds?" He scoffed sarcastically,
