Prompt selections taken from here:
4: “Who gave you that black eye?”
11: “If I die, I’m going to haunt your ass.”
116: “I broke your nose, and I’m sorry for that. But what you’re doing isn’t fair.”
I’m awakened for the third night in a row to a loud crash on Mamoru’s side of the bed. I groan and lean over his sleeping body to see what he managed to knock over and break this time: a picture of the two of us, frame face down and shattered glass everywhere.
“Mamoru! You did it again!” I push hard on my boyfriend’s chest, trying to wake him up to no avail. I shake his limp body but he doesn’t react at all. I swear, he’d probably manage to sleep through the apocalypse. I’m just about to get up to clean up the result of his nightly property-damage routine, when he rolls over suddenly and jerks his arm free of the sheets, forcefully sending his outstretched hand directly into my face.
“Shit! What the hell?!”, I yell out in pain but Mamoru remains fast asleep. My hand flies up to the eye that he practically punched and I slap him on the chest again.
I realize that short grumble is probably the only interaction I’ll have with him tonight so I carefully avoid the glass on the floor as I head to the kitchen to put some ice on my throbbing eye.
I’m cooking breakfast in the kitchen when I see Mamoru out of the corner of my eye - my good eye, for that matter - groggily making his way up to me.
“What’s with all the glass in the trashcan?”, he asks me and I sigh loudly.
“You broke the picture frame on the nightstand”, I reply bitterly.
“Pretty early to be in a bad mood, sweetheart”. He leans down to try and kiss me as I fully turn to face him.
“Who gave ya that black eye?” His eyes widen at the sight of my bruised face and I do my best to narrow my eyes at him.
“You did! You keep kicking things over and now you’re starting to hit me, too. I keep telling you that you’re a violent sleeper, and now I have the proof!”
Mamoru stays silent for a while but then he starts chuckling, much to my displeasure.
“I’ll admit I might have knocked over the picture since it’s on my side, but I don’t think I’m strong enough to sock ya that hard in my sleep”, he says and lights a cigarette.
“Then who hit me, Mamoru?”, I ask caustically and cross my arms. He chuckles again and blows a cloud of smoke from his lips.
“Honestly sweetheart, you’re so clumsy you probably smacked yourself in the eye.”
I’m seething at this point, but my foul mood only seems to amuse him more.
“Cute as you are when you’re mad, I have to get going. Ya might want to call off of work. Eisuke’s gonna be pissed if you try to help guests with that black eye.”
He tries to kiss me but I turn my head away in a huff. He chuckles again and settles for kissing my cheek, and then he heads into the bathroom to get ready.
I realize he’s probably right about work, though. I call Mr. Kenzaki and tell him I won’t make it into work today and then take out my laptop and start searching for video cameras. If he’s not going to believe what I tell him, then I’m going to have to show him.
Later that night, I have the camera set up across from our bed and hidden away enough so that Mamoru won’t notice it. I’m still not speaking to him as he gets into bed beside me, and he at least has enough sense not to press the issue any further, and it’s only a matter of time before we both drift off to sleep.
I jolt awake to the noise in a panic. It was much louder than the previous crashes, and I lean over Mamoru to see that the entire nightstand has been kicked over. I’m staring at it in awe that not only did he knock over a heavy nightstand, but that the loud noise it produced did nothing to rouse him from his sleep. I lean over a little further to see the extent of the damage when suddenly Mamoru’s knee flies up from under me and connects hard with my nose.
I let out an ear-piercing scream and my hands quickly move to my face. The pain is unlike anything I’ve ever felt and it makes my eyes water instantly.
“...hm?” I’m surprised that my shriek was enough to cut his hibernation short but the thought passes as I feel something wet and sticky on my hands.
“Oh my god, I’m bleeding!”, I yell and I see Mamoru sit up in bed.
“What the hell happened?”
“You fucking kneed me in the face!” Mamoru jumps out of bed and runs into the bathroom to get me a towel to hold against my bloody face. He turns on the light and takes in the sight of my injured nose, then his eyes slowly travel down to his knee where his kneecap is red from both the impact and my blood.
“...I did?”, he asks quietly and I glare at him.
“I got it on camera if you want to watch it!”, I hiss at him as I press the cloth carefully against my nose. The pain is excruciating and I have no doubt in my mind that he broke it. His eyes travel behind him to spot the camera and then his eyes are back on me.
“Come on, let’s get you to the hospital.”
He grabs a jacket for me and helps me put a pair of sweatpants on. I go to stand up and the room immediately starts spinning and I plop back down on the bed. Blood is all over my nightshirt and the sheets and it continues to steadily flow from my face.
“I swear to God, Mamoru. If I die, I’m going to haunt your ass”, I say shakily.
He smiles slightly at my absurdity and quickly gets me dressed and ready to leave.
“You’re not going to die, kid. Just put as much pressure on that nose as you can.”
I sigh and follow his advice, slowly feeling the blood flow start to cease.
I’m staring at an X-Ray of my shattered nose and gingerly touching the bandages on my face. I haven’t spoken to Mamoru since we left for the hospital and I know the silence between us is upsetting him. I wince at the pain as my fingers probe a particularly tender spot on my nose, and I hear my boyfriend sigh from where he’s sitting.
“Look, sweetheart. I broke your nose, and I’m sorry for that. But what you’re doing isn’t fair.”
I slowly turn my head and face him head-on.
“A lot of things aren’t exactly fair right now”, I mutter darkly. He runs a hand through his hair nervously.
“I’m sorry. I really am. You know I’d never want to hurt you, especially like this. And it’s not that I didn’t believe you about the black eye before. I just didn’t want to think that I could cause you pain like this. I feel terrible, honestly.”
I listen to his words in silence, still staring daggers at him.
“There’s only one solution for all of this”, I say to him. “You’re not allowed to sleep anymore. Ever.”
He searches my expression but I keep my face stoic. He sighs and after a minute, he nods his head.
“Alright, sweetheart. I won’t sleep anymore, if that’s what it’ll take for you to forgive me.”
I briefly think about Mamoru giving up his afternoon naps in the penthouse and staring wide-eyed in exhaustion at the other bidders and I start to smile. I know it was a ridiculous request to begin with, but I know that he would have actually tried to stay awake if that meant I wouldn’t be mad at him anymore. I know how much he cares for me and how much I mean to him, and that he would never purposefully hurt me in any way.
“You don’t have to do that. I’ll forgive you”, I say, letting my expression soften. Mamoru slowly grins at me and gently places a few kisses on my cheeks.
“By the way, I’m going to have to show that video to Mr. Ichinomiya. He’s never going to believe that you’re the reason I need to take off work for a week so I need to show him proof.”
Mamoru sighs heavily and nods his head.
“I’ll also need to show Baba and Ota because they won’t believe me either.” He rolls his eyes and I giggle.
“...never gonna hear the end of this”, he grumbles as I grin up at him.
