The silence is deafening.It couldn't have been more than but a few seconds since the words slowly dripped from your lips, but the way Rintarou doesn't dare to utter a single word after the fact, sends you into a premature panic. You were convinced it would happen again— he would break things off quicker than they even began. You weren't sure if you could handle that. Surely it would be your breaking point.
"That's what you were afraid to say?" He abruptly asks, a rumble in his chest as he chuckles a bit— though you're certainly unaware of what seems to be so funny.
"I'm sorry, it's insensitive of me to laugh— not that I'm laughing at you or what you've said... it's just, you scared me! I thought you were gonna tell me you were dying or somethin'."
You can't help but crack a smile, maybe out of nervousness or that he seems to be reacting much better than you anticipated.
"Honestly y/n, I'm kinda relieved you said this. Not that I don't love my kids, but I never really thought I'd want to have any... then mei got pregnant and... you know— what I'm saying is, I don't really know if I'd wanna have any more.
Not that I wouldn't have any with you, if you wanted to, but—""It's okay Rin." You chuckle. "I get it, and I'm relieved to hear you say that. Most men wouldn't want to be with a woman who can't give them an heir." You sigh, the playful lilt in your tone withering as you recall the words that have always been engrained in your head since you were young.
