•The 'Ass' In Assasin • GENMUI

chapter thirty three

I deeply apologize for the absolute pity party of a chapter but yeah, it might get better soon

And sorry for the wait, my mental health has been honestly so horrible and I haven't taken care of myself that well,
I'm glad to get this out though so that's cool

I'm worried I'm writing mui a bit too much like jinx from arcane since I'm obsessed with that shit rn (jinx is my gf btw, back off) so yeah, I'm hoping not but just a heads up

Uhhh

I hope this Chap is alright bros.. I won't proof read since it's 3:36am as I'm writing this, and I like waking up to notifs, so yeah

Enjoooooy

(And dw.. Genya and mui do end up happy.., I promise)

Mui pov

I sat in front of dad at the table as we ate dinner and he seemed to keep sneaking glances at me.. 

I couldn't see them but I could feel them, I knew he was staring.. 

I looked up at him as I blinked and turned my head to the side, as if looking around for what he was looking at before I turned to him, 
“Mm?” I hummed

“Muichiro, please, what's going on?” 

I just stared at him blankly.. Shaking my head, 

“Nothing, nothing happened, I'm fine.. Same old Muichiro you always knew, why are you treating me so different?” I asked him as I tilted my head

He.. Didn't seem to like the reply

“You don't eat, I can hear you pacing around your room all night.. I can hear you literally sobbing… and weird letters keep getting sent here, I want answers.” 

I just paused as I put my fork down and stared at him, 

I was.. Star struck.. 

“I'm not hungry, that's all, I'm trying to eat less” I played it off as he stared at me once more, 

“Muichiro, I can see your collar bones from a mile away, you don't need to eat less.. Tell me what's going on before I find out for myself” he told me in a stern tone as I just stared at him, 

I just shrugged and sighed, playing with my pasta as the whole apartment seemed to go.. Silent.. 

I couldn't even hear the sound of the fan cooling down the stove in the background.. 

“Muichiro” 

“Alright.. Alright, I get it-” I sighed as I stared at him, 

“I'm fine.. I am, you're treating me like I'm going insane.. I'm your son, Muichiro.. I don't know what else you want me to tell you” I spoke as he seemed to sigh and tsk, 

He stood up and took his plate to the counter as I heard him wash it, 

“You never talk back to me” he sighed, not even in a petty tone.. He seemed.. Genuinely upset

I huffed as I twirled the pasta once more, staring at it before grabbing my glass of water and drinking it instead of eating, 

He sighed as he came back down and sat across from me, pushing my hair behind my ear as he looked at me, with a drained expression

I just looked up at him and blinked before looking back down at the pasta, 

“I need you to be open with me about whatever is going on.. You were open when you were with the Uppermoons, you were open when I took you in… You've always been open to me and you now shut off.. Have I done something? Is it me?” He asked as he looked at me with a saddened expression
