Ryujin was obviously in a very happy mood. As soon as she walked through the front door with her usual bright smile on her soft, kissable lips, she was by your side in a heartbeat to give you a hug and a kiss.

But instead of letting her lips hit yours like you usually do, you turned your face so her lips would touch your cheek instead. It was the moment that she knew something wasn't right, considering that you never turn away from her kiss.

"Are you okay?" She asked as she took a seat beside you. You felt her fingertips innocently brush along your thigh. Her attention was solely on you and her eyes were locked with yours as she searched them to try to see what was wrong.

"You know how much I love you." You started to say and watched her eyebrows knit together, curious as to where this was all going. "Over the last year that we've spent together, I've never felt so happy."

She started to smile until you added a 'but' after those words fell from your lips and you watched her smile fall right away.

"But, I've been doing some thinking and as hard as this is for me to say, I think we should take some apart..."

It took a minute for the words to fully sink in, but when they did you watched her eyes fill with tears. She blinked them away, refusing to let them fall.

"I-I don't understand. Just the other day we were talking about the opposite of all of this, what our future could be like together and now... you're saying you don't see any future for us?"

"I just think some time apart would do us good,"

"Good?" She scoffed before shaking her head. "Good for who? How? Y/n, you're the best thing to ever happen to me. Tell me how time apart would be beneficial for us! I don't want time apart or to meet other people, I don't want to hear anything else you might have to say. I only want you."

This time, she couldn't help but let a tear fall. She could feel it falling down her cheek but as she continued to let words of love for you fall from her lips, she didn't care at all.

"I don't understand why you would want that. I can hardly get through being apart when I'm on tour! I can't be without you. I love you too much."

You bit your lip, starting to regret pulling this stupid prank in the first place as you watched her cry and listened to her voice crack from the sadness she felt.

"What went wrong? Is it because I've been away more during the day? That I'm not coming home until late? Because I can fix that! I will fix it. But don't go, okay? Please. I need you."

You cupped her cheek and she closed her eyes before leaning into your touch. She sniffled and swallowed the lump in her throat but it only returned when she wondered if this could be the last time she felt your touch.

"I'm not going anywhere,"

Her eyes flew open as you said that. A hopeful look filled them as she started to smile.

"I wouldn't ever leave you."

"Really? But you said that-"

"It was a prank." You interrupted and she pulled away from your touch before folding her arms over her chest. "And a very stupid one, at that."

"Oh, really?" She spoke sassily and clenched her jaw as she looked elsewhere, refusing to look at you. "I can't believe you, y/n. Why would you do that? It wasn't funny, you scared me!"

"I know. I'm sorry." You mumbled as you laid your cheek on her shoulder. "It was wrong and I shouldn't have done it. But you know I love you too much to ever leave you."

"I know." She sighed as she looked at you. "I love you too."

"So...? Forgive me?"

"Maybe. If you give me all the cuddles to make up for it."

"Done." You grinned and watched her smile return, too. You took her chin in your fingertips and pressed a kiss to her lips and she happily reciprocated. "I really do love you. I'm never leaving you, baby. I promise."

She crawled into your arms and put her head on your chest.

"Good. Because I'd never let you. I couldn't ever let you go, I just love you so much."
