waking up satoru in the middle of the night and telling him you want cookies. (ᵕ•_•)
it’s like 3:10 in the morning when you poke at satoru’s bare shoulder.
“toru,” you mumble, with all the guilt in your guts.
he groans into the pillow, all white hair messy and sticking up like he fought a war in his sleep. “baby,” he mutters, his voice still half asleep. “why’re you awake? it’s—” he squints toward the clock on the nightstand, “—too early.”
you chew on your lip, suddenly feeling kind of dumb but too deep in it to stop now. “i want cookies.”
he goes still for a second, then turns his head slowly toward you with one eye barely open. “you what?”
“cookies,” you repeat, curling into the blanket like that makes it sound less ridiculous. “like, the chewy chocolate chip ones? i saw them on tiktok while scrolling and now i can’t stop thinking about them.”
for a second he just stares at you. “sweetheart, you woke me up at three a.m. for cookies?”
he sighs into the pillow again, but then he sits up, stretches his long arms over his head, yawns and swings his legs out of the bed.
“wait—where are you going?” you ask, blinking up at him.
“to get you cookies,” he says simply, running a hand through his hair.
“no, no, i was just joking!” you say quickly, grabbing his wrist before he can stand all the way. “i didn’t mean it like that, toru. please get back to bed. you have work in like, two hours.”
he looks down at you, lips curving into that lazy little grin that always makes your stomach flutter. “nuh uh,” he says, leaning down to kiss your forehead. “my girl said she wants cookies, so she’ll have cookies.”
“toru, seriously, i’m not making you drive at three a.m. for—”
“baby,” he interrupts, still smiling, “you think i’m gonna let you crave something and not get it for you?”
you stare at him, heart melting in your chest because he looks so unbothered about the fact that you woke him up on a work night at three a.m. just for stupid cookies.
shirtless, sleepy and somehow still the most determined man on earth.
“you’re insane,” you whisper, laughing a little as he searches for sweatpants.
“insanely in love,” he mutters, pulling on a hoodie. “now tell me what kind of cookies we’re talking about. the thick, gooey, chocolate chip ones, right? you said chewy?”
you flop back on the bed with a groan, burying your face in the pillow. “you’re actually doing this.”
“mhm,” he hums, already sliding his phone out to check which stores are open. “you got a video or something? i need to know what they look like.”
you reach for your phone on the nightstand and hand it to him, the screen lighting up with the video you were watching before you woke him. “these,” you mumble, pointing at the gooey cookies with melted chocolate and sea salt flakes.
he watches the short clip, then nods like it’s the most serious mission he’s ever taken.
“got it. i’ll be back soon.”
“are you sure?” you say, but there’s a smile tugging at your lips.
“yes,” he says, leaning down to kiss you again. “go back to sleep, baby.”
you watch him leave, barefoot and humming under his breath, hoodie halfway zipped and still half-asleep.
and when the door closes behind him, you can’t stop grinning into the pillow, already imagining him showing up twenty minutes later with a paper bag in one hand and that stupid proud smile on his face.
you fall asleep before he’s even back and when you wake up to the smell of chocolate and your boyfriend gently nudging you awake, whispering, “hey sleepyhead, got your cookies,” you can’t help but laugh — because of course he did.
of course he actually did.
