25~Shiro x Reader [Pt.2]

"Shiro...I....I'm in love with you..."

I said, clenching my fists as I confessed my feelings for him. The moment I said it his eyes widened a bit. He didn't say anything for a moment, making my heart skip a beat.

Oh no...this is bad...run, run away.

I wanted to run, I didn't want to be rejected. Four years....I've felt this way about him, I can't-

"Y/n...I..." he stubbled over his words which were tangled up in his throat. "I'm sorry...but...with everything that's going on...I just don't have the time to- Wait!" Shiro called for me as I ran out of the training deck, tears spilling out of my eyes.

My heart....it actually hurt. Psychically it hurt, and emotionally it bashed me. As I got to my room, which I barely even used anymore, I slid my back down the wall and onto the floor, balling my eyes out, letting my cries escape my quivering lips. My knees were soaked with my tears, I wanted to rip my heart out and stomp it to mush.

Why? How could I let myself fall for anyone...this is exactly what happened last time.

Why me? Why is it always me?

"Y/n!" Shiro yelled from the other side of the door, banging on it a few times. I tried to quiet my cries as he begged me to unlock my room. "Please! Let me talk!" He pleaded, I shook my head viciously as I cried even more, letting my hand grip my heart, wanting the pain to stop. "Please! Let me in!" He pounded on the door a few more times before it went silent. I stopped my heavy sobbing and looked over at the door, crawling over to it and sitting up against it, Shiro on the other side, his heart broken into a million pieces. "Look...I just can't love you...not right now...this war is taking up my whole mind...if I did love you, I feel like I wouldn't be the best partner..." he explained, my sobbing slowly decreasing as he spoke. "So...let time do it's thing and maybe one day I will love you after everything is over. Maybe one day. But today, we have to focus on the bigger picture...The universe has to be saved first, because without a universe there can be no love..." he continued, I started up at the ceiling, letting my eyes burn from the salty tears. He did have a point...but it still hurt me.

"Y/n...you are important to me..." he whispered, loud enough for me to hear it. "Please come talk to me when you're ready..." I could hear him walking away from the door, and my body shot up and opened the door, reaching out for him, "Wait!" I stand there frozen after he turned to me, his eyes were so sad. I stood in the doorway, looking into his eyes. "Y/n..." he whispered, walking closer to me. Once his arms wrapped around me I couldn't hold my emotions in. My heart spilled out as I cried into his shoulder, my arms tight around his neck. He held me tightly, giving me the reassurance I needed so badly. He whispered to me as I cried, "Please...don't cry okay? It hurts me to see you like this..." My sobs turned into sniffles as we pulled away from each other. I looked into his eyes, he looked back into mine, glossy and red. I didn't even know what to say, I couldn't say anything.

"Hey...what's going on?" Keith questioned us as he walked up from behind me. I didn't want him to see me like this, he hates it when I cry...

"Y/n?" He got closer to me, I had no choice but to turn around. Right as I did, I can tell he knew exactly what happened. "Oh no.." he looked at me, immediately pulling me into a hug, glaring at Shiro as he did. Shiro shirt badly too. He wasn't expecting anything like this.

"Let's go Y/n..."he said, grabbing my hand and walking us back to his room. As we passed Shiro, I could sense the sadness dripping out of him.
