warnings/includes:angst, bonten! ran, cheating, toxic relationship, manipulation, slight gaslighting (?) just to be sure ehe, dilf! ran, milf! reader, ran is an asshole, rindou is a sweetheart, and reader is a girl boss

Rindou looks so awkward, sitting on the couch in your living room but he tries his best to lessen the tense atmosphere by playing with his nephew. He loves to gossip– gosh, he loves hearing the most ridiculous situations people put themselves in but if it’s about his brother and his ex sister-in-law, he’d like to be excluded in the narrative. 

“We’re just gonna wait in the car. Don’t take too long, Ran.” Rindou has to leave the room and take his seven year-old nephew with him as soon as Ran opens his mouth to talk about the 6'3 foot man you were seen with last week. He knew it was going to be messy so he took the initiative to give you and his brother some privacy to talk about your… well, relationship?

“That’s really none of your business.” You answer him dismissively, still busy arranging the contents of your son’s bag for his weekend trip with his dad and his uncle. 

There’s a scoff that Ran couldn’t help but let out while staring bullets through your head. “Yes, it is. What would Ren think if he sees his mother fucking another man that isn’t his dad?”

Pause. You need to release a heavy breath to calm yourself or else you’re going to lash out and possibly let your child hear you screaming at his father. “You sure do have a lot of nerve to say that after everything you did.”

“Christ, Y/N! That was– I don’t know! Two, three years ago?” Ran snaps back, his towering height in front of you now and completely devouring your figure with just his shadow.

“Whatever happened two or three years ago is the reason why we’re even here in the first place. Stop projecting, Haitani.” Your words are firm and strong, this time looking up at him through your lashes with eyes burning with so much annoyance and displeasure. 

Truth be told, you’re sure that the love you have for this man will linger on until you’re gray and old but there’s only so much you can take. The damage in your relationship when he cheated on you is irreparable.

“What do you even mean by that?” Ran asks with a humorless chuckle, “You can’t tell me you haven’t fucked the man when you kept meeting up with him for the entire week. What do you take me for?”

A fool. That’s what you are, Ran Haitani! You want to tell him but you don’t want to give him the satisfaction of riling you up despite your blood boiling.You’ve always been good at keeping your composure so you do what you do best. Inhale. He’s not worth it. Exhale. You’re better than this. This time, you decided to put distance between him and yourself by standing up and strengthening the creases on your dress– or else his cheek will end up bruised with how much your hand is itching to land a harsh slap on his skin. “If you don’t have anything left to say, you can leave. Ren’s things are all in the bag now. Enjoy your trip, Haitani." 

Ran is left speechless, his mouth gaping as his eyes follow your graceful body in opening the door, wordlessly asking him to go fuck himself and be on his damned way. This is one of the many reasons why he fell in love with you. You know how to put him in his place without having to put so much effort into it… but it’s also why he’s seething mad. Without as much of a thought, he walks over to the door– not to leave but so he can slam it shut.

"What is wrong with you?” You’re glaring at him and he can see the tiny cracks in your facade. You’re so close to breaking. 

“I’m not leaving until we talk about this. Stop acting like a fucking child.” He growls, purple eyes scanning your scowling features as he traps you between him and the wall. 

You don’t know where he gets the audacity to talk like you’re the one who did him wrong when it’s the other way around. “I’d rather we don’t. There are things that must be left alone so we can remain as cordial as possible in front of our child,” You’re looking at him with no trace of any emotion present in your face, “Truth be told, I don’t want to see you ever again but we’re bound together because of Ren so let’s just pretend like we’re on good terms or whatever.”

You see his fist clench, his jaw slackening as he stared you down, trying to intimidate you but you’re no longer the soft and submissive Mrs. Haitani. Thanks to him, you learned how to stand your ground. “Why do we have to pretend when we can fix things, Y/N? Why are you making a big fuss out of this? It’s been years.”

He’s right. It’s been years, he’s got so much time to fix things with you and your son before but he didn’t. He turned away and continued to be frivolous as if he wasn’t married and got a child waiting for him at home. He wasn’t even there when Ren’s baby tooth fell off nor was he present for Ren’s first day at kindergarten. He wasn’t there when Ren got so sick he had to be admitted to the hospital and you were breaking down in the arms of his brother, Rindou. Heck– you can’t even count how many times he stood you up on special occasions, telling you he’s got so much “shit” to do or because it slipped off his mind but seems to never forget his secretary’s birthday. 

“You forgot? Of course you forgot. You seem to be forgetting a lot of things these days but then perk up at the reminder of your secretary’s birthday.”

“How can I forget? We’re always together.”

“And we’re not? Oh right. Yes, we’re not always together because when you’re supposed to be at home, you’re out with her on fancy dates, traveling to different places while I’m here with my son, worrying about you and wondering when you’re going to come home!”

“Can you stop, Y/N? I’m really not in the mood to argue with you.”

“You want me to stop? Okay. Then let’s end this marriage and get divorced. I’m sick of getting treated like a bed warmer and a fucking maid. I’m done.”

“You don’t mean that! I’m not going to let you–”

“I’m not asking for permission. I’m telling you what’s gonna happen. I’m taking Ren with me and you can go do whatever you want.”

That was the end of it. It was cruel to let go of him not because you feel bad for him or the love you still have for the father of your child remains above all things but because Ren didn’t deserve to have a broken family. You didn’t want him to grow up without a dad by his side and realize once he’s old enough that his dear mother got cheated on only because his father thought she wasn’t doing it for him anymore. 

With a smile that doesn’t reach your eyes, you bring your hand up to his cheek in a caress– the familiar softness in them tearing your heart yet again. You miss him. You do but for the sake of your own sanity and the only hope left for Ren to grow up with a stable mother despite being away from his dad, from his mother’s first and greatest love– you accept that things can’t always go the way you want. No more self destruction, no more doubting yourself– just you and your son and the memories of what once a happy life you had with Ran Haitani.

“You’re the one who gave up on us and ruined what’s left of our family, Ran. I only gave you what you wanted.”
