(Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai) 

You knew that the cuts would come from each hateful comment that you read about you but you couldn't help yourself from reading them. Despite Mai's insistence for the press and people to keep you out of the spotlight, there were still some people that posted pictures with your actual face. Some comments were about your actual appearance and others were about your relationship with Mai. Mai hadn't realized what was going on because she was out of the city to film a couple of episodes she was starring in. You didn't tell her because you knew how to fix the problem and yet didn't stop what you were doing. 

"Sakuta! What are you doing here?"

He smiles and holds up the bag of food he had brought over. 

"Dinner. It's been a while since we had dinner together."

You give him a smile and open the door for him. He walks in, handing you the bag as he changes his shoes.

The two of you were laughing about something stupid that Sakuta had said when he suddenly got serious. 

"What is it?"

"Your shirt, you have some blood.."

You look down to find that some blood had managed to slip past the bandage. You hide your arm under the table to keep him from looking. 

"It's fine. I just accidentally cut myself while cutting something from school."

"Are you okay? I can help you change the bandage for you?"

"No. That's okay. Just give me a second and I'll change it. Excuse me."

You rest against the door as you let out a sigh of relief. If Sakuta had changed your bandage like he had asked, he would've seen the other cuts. With no time to take a second to calm yourself, you rush to change your bandage. 

You're halfway done when Sakuta knocks at your door. 

"(y/n)! It's Mai, she's asking for you."

"Just a second!"

You hurried up to finish changing the bandage but he manages to barge in before you can cover the bandage up. He gasps as he see the bandage cover your entire arm. 

"Sakuta! What was that? What did you do to my girlfriend?"

Your eyes widen and you rush to take your phone back but he holds you back. 

"Nothing. I think you might need to come as soon as you can. (y/n), needs you."

"Stay with her. I'm catching the earliest train to the city."

"I will."

He finally hangs up and hands you the phone. 

"You didn't have to tell, Mai, you know."

"Knowing Mai, she would slap me for keeping it from her. I've been slapped far too many times to know that it would sting for some time. Now are you going to tell me what happened?"

"It's none of your business, Sakuta. You can leave now.'

"No. I told Mai that I was going to stay with you and I'm going to stay."

You really hated how stubborn he could be.

While the two of you waited for Mai to arrive, Sakuta refused to leave you alone. He tried to talk to you but when you refused to answer several of his questions, he gave up and put on some random show for the two of you to watch. 

An hour later and Mai finally arrives. She didn't bother to knock as you had given her the keys to your apartment. 

"What's going on? Do you have any idea how worried I was while on my trip here? It would've been nice if you had told me what this was about."

Sakuta turns to you, giving you some time to tell her yourself. When you don't talk, he tells her what he saw. When he's done, Mai thanks him and walks him out so the two of you could talk. 

"Let me see them."

"No. I just changed the bandages."

"Knowing you, you probably did a bad job. Now let me see them."

"Mai, they're not bleeding through the bandage. They're fine."

Mai points to the other side of your sleeve to show you that now your other arm was bleeding. 

"They're clearly not fine." She stands up and heads to the bathroom to grab a first aid kid. "Take off your shirt."

"Mai..."

Knowing what you were going to say, she steps on your foot, making you wince. 

"This is serious. Take off your shirt."

You comply with her demand. Mai doesn't say anything as she removes the bandages and begins to change them. You look away, unable to look at her. When she's done, Mai grabs your cheek and pulls on it hard. The action makes you look at her as you tried to get her to let go. 

"Are you going to tell me what's going or am I going to force it out of you?"

"That hurts! Let go!"

"Not until you tell me what's going on."

"I will! Just let go."

She surprisingly lets go. 

"I didn't directly do these to myself. I got them after reading some comments online about me and us."

"Someone actually published a picture of you?"

"Yeah but I guess it's okay. It was going to come out sooner or later. I just wasn't prepared to get these types of comments."

"Let me see your phone."

You hand her your phone, letting her see what you had been reading before Sakuta had arrived. 

"None of the opinions from these people matter. Do you really think it's a good idea to listen to the stupid opinion of this idiot? They have nothing else better to do than bring others down."

She taps away on your phone and then hands it back to you. 

"What did you do?"

"I deleted your old account and made you a new one. A private one where I'm your only follower. It's not a perfect solution but it will keep you from seeing any more comments like that."

"Thank you, Mai."

She nods and turns to look at the tv. 

"Don't ever keep something like this from me again? We're a couple. We're supposed to tell each other these kinds of things. I tell you everything."

"I know but I didn't want to worry you. You've been busy with your show and this was just going to distract you."

"You're my girlfriend. You're more important than anything else so I don't want to hear anymore of this 'I didn't want to worry about you,' stuff. Got it?"

You nod quickly, making her smile. The two of you continue watching tv until Mai eventually falls asleep. Not wanting for her to hurt her back sleeping in your couch, you carry her to your bed. Just as you're about to head back to the living room so you could sleep on the couch, Mai takes you hand to stop you. 

"Stay with me. I want to hold you."

You don't have to be told twice as you lay down besides her so she could wrap her arms around your waist to hold you close.
