Out of Nowhere (Rindou x reader)

Chapter 22: I Wanna be your Girlfriend

"Where are you going, (l/n)? You're the one who called me out here."

(Y/n) stiffened. At that moment, her rage bubbled so intensely that she gritted her teeth and tightly clenched her fist at the voice she oh-so dreaded to hear. If he came an hour earlier, maybe she would've been nervous upon seeing him but she felt nothing but lividity.

"Hah?! You can't expect me not to leave after you fucking ditched me first, you—" the enraged female spun around to yell at him. To tell him how everything she felt was a lie. To say that she knew everything she did was pointless. That she had enough of him... but that feeling of resentment vanished almost instantaneously.

Drip...

... Drop

Drip—

"W-Wha..." the (h/c)-nette stumbled upon her own words as something got caught lodged into her throat, "Haitani... What h-happened to you...?"

"Wow I can't believe you. You were really planning to leave after saying something like that over the phone," his voice was weak but it still had the overconfidence she knew all too well, "You can't just run away and hide from me, (l/n). I won't allow it."

The younger Haitani stumbled into view— appearing as if he's barely hanging on a thread. His blonde-and-blue hair was disheveled and matted with a concerning amount of blood, multiple bruises were scattered around his face and hands, and he seems as though he may pass out at any given moment. In fact, (y/n) was worried that he might end up dying right in front of her.

"H-Hey... we need to get you help," the (y/h) girl didn't know what to do, but she steadily approached the wounded male with a hesitant conviction— ready to catch him in her arms but wary that she might injure him even further.

"Wait, I need to give you my answer first before I end up fainting because, honestly, I'm feeling a bit too lightheaded," Rindo merely stated as (y/n) shook her head in disagreement— or maybe it was disbelief that he's trying to be nonchalant about all this— and wrapped his left arm around her shoulder.

"Haitani, please... you're scaring me right now," she replied whilst she trembled like a leaf under him. She was too much in shock to even think about her confession, "I... I don't want you to die so please... Let's get you to the hospital—"

"I found him!"

A gruff male voice sounded behind them as the two tensed in each other's arms. Rindo swore under his breath as (y/n)'s breath hitched at the familiar voices approaching them.

She hesitantly looked behind her only to widen her (e/c) eyes in terror, "It's you... What are you doing here...?"

"Tch," Rindo clicked his tongue in irritation and casually released himself from the (y/h) female's hold to face the people behind them. Damn... it seems as though a few caught up to him, "I'm surprised to see that you're still standing, Ogawa Riki."

A brown-haired teen emerged from the shadows with a hardened glare, "Of course you're not going to say my name right despite your unfortunate circumstances."

A total of five people were seen and (y/n) knew them all too well. The three boys from her high school, Red Bullet's captain and Shibuya Shadow's captain stood in front of her— all of them sustaining injuries of their own to which she already deduced was Rindo's doing.

Her breath got caught in her throat and she panicked. To be fair, what was she supposed to do? The five males before her looked ready to kill as Rindo was possibly on the verge of passing out or even dying with the amount of blood he's losing.
