■Atsumu's POV■

I woke up to the smell of food, which kind of reminds me of Osamu. I walk out of my room and look as Y/N all dressed up in her work outfit, cooking in my kitchen.

Y/N: g-good morning Atsumu san... um, I'm sorry for using your kitchen... uh I made you breakfast... it's just a simple dish...

She looks down at her feet and fiddling her fingers. This woman is like a lost rabbit, she's really timid. No wonder she can't escape that toxic guy alone.

Atsumu: I rarely eat breakfast...

Y/N: oh... I'm sorry! I shouldn't have do-

Atsumu: nope, don't get it wrong... I rarely eat breakfast because I'm too lazy to cook...

I sit at the dining table and look at Y/N.

Atsumu: let's eat now... thanks by the way.

Y/N hands me a plate of (food). This looks good, Osamu will definitely think the same as me. But how does it taste?

Y/N: um Atsumu san... please.. give it a try...

Y/N looks nervous, sitting across from me at the dining table. I take a spoon and take a bite. I was surprised, her cooking taste really good.

Atsumu: your cooking taste amazing! Osamu would like to eat this

Y/N: Osamu?

Atsumu: (munch) um yeah... (munch) he's my twin (munch) he owns an onigiri shop in my hometown (munch) he likes food... well anyway, it's really good...

I could see her eyes sparkling and her face lit up. She's smiling while looking at the food in front of her

Y/N: thank you... I'm glad you like it...

This woman is adorable. I shook my head internally. Don't think weirdly Atsumu, you offer to help this woman.

Y/N: um Atsumu san... thank you so much... today I'm going to figure out how to solve my problem with Takato san... so I don't have to bother you for too long...

Oh right, she's going to leave after she figures out how to make that Takato guy stop. But for now, I don't mind having her around.

Atsumu: I'm picking you up.

Y/N: eh no... Atsumu san it's... you've done enough for me...

Atsumu: I told you I don't have anything to do this week... besides, that guy already got on my nerve...

I stare at her trying to convince her to let me pick her up. A guy like that needs to learn some lesson.

Y/N: o...okay... thank you

Y/N almost bows again, but I stop her head before she bows down. Her face is smaller than the palm of my hand.

Atsumu: no more bowing

Y/N: o...okay...

With that Y/N tells me her office and the time she gets off, and then she leaves.

■3rd Person POV■

During lunch, Y/N didn't leave her desk and Takato approaches her. Y/N decided to stay on her desk because there are a lot of people around here, so if Takato comes, he wouldn't do anything threatening.

Takato: Y/N... where have you been? Are you alright? You should have come back...

Y/N : Ta... Takato san... we... we are done...

Y/N said this in a quiet voice, but some of her coworkers heard it.

Nana: what? You two are over?

Mimi: why?

Takato was actually pissed, but he didn't show his true feelings and still act.

Takato: um... we're arguing right now... we're only on a break... come one Y/N I'm sorry... let's eat together...

Nana: aw... L/N come on forgive him

Mimi: look, he came all the way from his room just to see you...

Y/N is burdened by her coworkers and Takato's intense stares. Buts she needs to be a little bit brave, at least she should try to be.

Y/N: um... I'm... I ate quite a lot this morning so I'm not going to eat lunch... Takato san you... should eat...

Takato: alright... I'll see you after work okay!

With that Takato left, but Y/N couldn't help but feels uneasy.

Nana: why did you do that? What are you arguing about?

Mimi: L/N san you should forgive him... isn't he dreamy?

Y/N just smiles at her coworkers and stays silent.

Her shift is finally finished and so Y/N hurriedly put her stuff in her bag and walk out of her room before it gets empty. She gets in the lift with some of her coworkers.

Nana: L/N aren't you supposed to be with Nijima san? He asked to meet you after work.

Mimi: you should just forgive him, Nijima Takato is perfect, it's a shame to let someone like him go~

Hina: hey? You guys are in a dispute? Why would you? Nijima san is very kind and hard working.

Rumi: just forgive him... I mean what could be the reason?

Y/N just listen as she and her three coworkers walk out of the building until a voice sent shivers down her spine.

Takato: yes Y/N... please forgive me...

Y/N and her coworkers look back to see Takato walk approaches them.

Mimi: Nijima san, coming to get your girl back? Way to go!

Takato came closer and take Y/N's hand. He smiles at their coworkers.

Takato is trying to make Y/N walk with him, but Y/N stays still. She's trembling and trying to hold back her tears.

Takato: come on Y/N, let's go home... I'll let you choose what to eat for tonight's dinner... please don't be mad anymore

Rumi: wait did you guys fight because of that? Oh, come on L/N don't be so stubborn over such small matters

Nana: just go home with him, he'll let you eat what you want

Y/N is getting more and more uneasy by now. She's hurt physically because Takato is actually grabbing her arm tightly, and her feelings hurt because her friends judge her without knowing what happens. But just then.

Atsumu: don't let that man take her away...

The familiar voice makes Y/N looks back. Atsumu is standing right there, face all displeased.

Y/N: Atsumu... san?

The female coworkers see as Atsumu approaches them.

Nana: wait, it's Miya Atsumu! MSYB Black Jackal's setter

Hina: oh my god he's so handsome, he's also a model for some brands.

Mimi: L/N you know Miya Atsumu?

The coworkers watch as Atsumu walks even closer and stands behind Y/N. He then grabs Takato's arm that holds Y/N's arm.

Atsumu: you better let go....

Y/N and Takato's coworkers start to look at each other.

■Y/N's POV■

Atsumu: stop using that soft guy mask, it pissed me off... you dang, abusive, possessive, crazy guy

My coworkers are all gasping. Takato becomes uneasy, his grip on my arm tightened making me flinch. This was noticed by Atsumu as he grips Takato's arm tighter making him let go of my arm.

Takato: what are you talking about? I'm taking my girlfriend home with me

Atsumu: last night when I saw you about to slap her on the street, I clearly heard she said she wants to end it...

My coworkers are bewildered by what they've just heard. They all turn their gaze at Takato and me.

Rumi: is... is that true?

Mimi: Nijima san... you're about to slap her?

I'm trembling as Takato stares at me, but a big hand rest on my shoulder and pulls me back until my back meets a strong chest. I look up and meet eyes with Atsumu. Somehow those eyes telling me to trust him.

Atsumu: that man was being abusive for the last 8 months just because Y/N doesn't want to have sex before marriage.

Loud gasps were heard from everyone around them. At the sight of the black Jackal's setter, people were approaching them and they hear what Atsumu says.

Atsumu: Y/N didn't tell anyone in the office because she knew, people might not gonna believe her because that guy has a good reputation.... and besides

Atsumu lifts my arm and rolls my sleeve up, showing some bruises I goy from Takato. This doesn't go unnoticed by the people around us. Atsumu stares at Takato, glaring at him.

Atsumu: this woman, doesn't want you to lose everyone's respect because of your true nature... she knew how hard you work to earn your position and respect from your colleagues...

Takato eyes are widened when he hears this. My coworkers are staring at me with pity, but I avert my gaze at the ground.

Atsumu: she wants to get away from you, but still trying to cover up your mistakes from the other...

Atsumu rolls my sleeves down again and then holds my hand. Making me look up and see as Atsumu's glaring at Takato, but when his eyes meet mine, they turn gentle.

Atsumu: I'm practically a witness, and these bruises are evidence... so, if you don't want to end up having business with the authorities...

Atsumu walks and pulling me to walk with him as I just watch at his broad back.

Atsumu: then stop bothering her...

With that we walk away, leaving the crowd who are still shocked with the news.

■Atsumu's POV■

I park my car and then get off of my car, Y/N to get out of the car and we both walk to my apartment. She's pretty quiet, maybe she's still shocked.

I press the passcode to my apartment, unlocking it and then both of us walk in. But right after I heard the door closed, a loud thud was heard.

I look back and see as Y/N is slumping on the floor.

Atsumu: hey! What happened?

When I lift her head, I see how her face is already brimming with tears. okay, I'm panic, never have I, see a girl crying in front of me.

Atsumu: oi Y/N, are you hurt anywhere? Hey is it bec-

Y/N: thank... (sobs) thank you... Atsumu san...(sobs).. all this time I...

She looks so fragile. I help her up and walk her to the couch. I make her sit and she looks up at me.

Atsumu: you're fine now... he won't get to you... I wouldn't let him...

Y/N: y...yes... thank you

I left her and makes some warm milk. By the time I walk back, she's asleep. Head resting on the armrest. I sigh and place the cup of milk on the table.

Atsumu: you really look like a defenseless rabbit...

Seeing her sleep like this

I hope she would always stay peaceful like this

And...

I kind of hope that I could see it all the time...
