Suzue is angry for the first time and Daisuke needs to keep up with her bad mood the entire morning. How is he handling it?
This was supposed to be a positive morning for Suzue because Daisuke told her yesterday that he's going to take a day off just to catch up on his time with her and she was so enthusiastic about it that one simple thing as perid cramps decided on ruining her instantly. It was early in the day, 7:15h so to speak, and she was already in shock and fed up with the entire situation. And as if this wasn't troublesome enough; she wasn't able to find any medications in her drawer. She checked in the nightstand, closet, shelves, counter. Nothing, she couldn't find anything and the pain in her stomach was becoming more and more unbearable.
She couldn't leave the palace this instant because she needed to take care of Daisuke first. She entered his room writhing a little because of how much it hurted her. She already hated everything about this day and everything around her, she became more stressed and more emotional. She tried to wake him up gently at first but when he didn't react on her attempts right away, she took the glass from his nightstand and showed it back somewhat forcefully, making a loud thud. Daisuke jumped a little from how startled it made him and Suzue greeted him with annoyed look on her face.
"Butler already informed me about the breakfast. You're free to come down and join." She handed him certain clothes without asking for approval "You can also put these on. I'll be waiting for you once you're ready."
Suzue turned around and left without putting much of a conversation between them. Daisuke noticed how stiff she looked but concluded that she probably "woke up on the wrong side of the bed" and therefore didn't want to ask further about it. Still, it wasn't like Suzue to be this irritated in the morning since he always got used to her friendly greetings and a big smile on her face. He got himself dressed and went downstairs where an elegant spacious dining room was located.
A classic British breakfast was served, 7:30h, the pair was sitting at the dark wooden table with magnificent displays of gold plate from George IV's enormous collection and enjoyed their meal. If you were just a mere visitor to their household you probably wouldn't notice such things, but Daisuke was perfectly aware of Suzue's unnerved behavior. She cut her meal quite frustrated and she even criticized the lack of flavor in it. And although she wasn't showing it as much, her dissatisfaction was present and she became angry, much to Daisuke's surprise. Daisuke grew worried because, for him, the meal tasted just fine and as much as he wanted to hold himself back from further antagonizing her when she already felt bad enough, he couldn't ignore it and he needed to interfere. He didn't have the heart to ignore her like this.
"Suzue. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Of course I did. What kind of question is that supposed to be?"
Ouch that hurt. Daisuke would usually feel offended by such an act but this was Suzue he was talking to so he decided to be stubborn.
"I don't know. If someone upset you in any way you're free to tell me and I'll take care of them personally."
"Daisuke-sama, with all due respect I'm not feeling especially obligated as of today's date to worry much about when I'm supposed to be free to do something or not. I am a person, I have feelings, and I'll decide on doing things when I'm feeling like doing them. I'm not asking for anyone's permission to express my free will."
Suzue took her plate, handed it to butler and left the room.
For the first time in a long time Daisuke felt broken. It's funny because he usually never paid attention to other people or their unnecessary outbursts of emotions which he always found uncomfortable and incredibly impractical, but then again, this was Suzue he was talking to and he became seriously worried about her.
Whenever he wanted to check on her she made an annoyed expression and whenever he tried to start a conversation with her she ended it quickly.
"That video you wanted to show me the other day-"
"I changed my mind. It wouldn't be as entertaining for you because you never find anything funny anyways. I wonder what satisfies you anymore."
Another low blow and Daisuke felt like crumbling. Although he decided that he'll wait for her until she calms down. Or not? He wasn't used to her lack of attention and he enjoyed it so much while it lasted. Suzue was usually the clingy one in their relationship but today the roles were switched and he wanted to bring the old smiling Suzue back.
"What do you say about watching your favorite series together?"
"I watched it yesterday, today is the rerun."
"I brought you some fashion magazines I thought you might like."
"Thank you, I'll check them later."
"Would you like to check these new gadget parts I found with HEUSC? He couldn't estimate the quality of the product so I'm asking for your opinion."
"I'm not interested as of now, I'll search them when I have the time."
"Would you like some tea in your favorite kitty cup?"
Suzue put down whatever she was reading at the moment and looked at him with serious expression on her face.
"I'm perfectly capable of making tea for myself. I'm sorry Daisuke-sama, but why are you being like that?"
"The way you're being, you're unusually clingy today and I didn't even ask for any of it. Why are you giving me such a hard time? I need a break."
Suzue was about to climb the stairs which led to her bedroom.
"I'm sorry." Daisuke said quietly and Suzue instantly stopped on her tracks. She never heard him talk like this before and it broke her heart. She could feel his hurt and regret and she wondered how it came to all of this.
Daisuke continued "I took a day off with the intent of spending more time with you and although I'm really bad at showing what I feel when expressing myself most of the time, the idea of being with you after so long made me feel genuinely happy. I'm sorry if it sounds self-centered or selfish, I'm always talking about me and my feelings when I never considered asking other people about their own. I always pre-determined what others should be doing without giving it that much thought about their opinions before coming up with my own decisions. And no matter how much I try I'm always screwing it up, I'm a terrible person."
When he looked up at Suzue he wasn't expecting her to cry and he became alarmed.
"Y-you're not a terrible person. Please never say that again. It's me, I'm the one who screwed everything. M-my stomachache won't subdue and I didn't take my painkillers."
Daisuke came up to her on the stairs and picked her up bridal style. Suzue squeaked a little.
"I'm taking you to my room because I know where the stuff I'm looking for is placed. But I can always take you to yours if you tell me where you're keeping things."
"I-I don't mind your room.."
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT FACE MR.!!"
"Okay okay, jesus." he kissed her forehead and pushed the door with his leg.
Once he placed her on the bed, he tucked her in a bunch of pillows and blankets and gave her the phone.
"I'm sorry to say this but please wait for me 20min or so, I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
With this said, Daisuke disappeared into the hallways and left Suzue alone with her thoughts. She knew that Daisuke gave her the phone to entertain herself but right now she couldn't think of anything else but the thing that just happened between them and the way she mistreated him this entire time. The guilt squeezed her heart and worsened her stomach pain.
Daisuke, on the other hand, mentally panicked because he didn't know what to do right now. He never had a sister and his mother died and he absolutely didn't have the slightest idea on what to do. He did his research with HEUSC, he talked to butlers and once he grasped the concept of it, he drew his Bentley Continental GT *maniac style like he always did* to the nearest store and bought
✨💴 EVERYTHING 💴✨ *fu-gou ke-i-ji song playing in the background*. Even the cashier lady couldn't believe that a man could look this badass while buying half of the aisle lmao.
Daisuke returned on time with butlers helping him carry everything and Suzue looked surprised upon seeing so many bags being brought into her room.
Daisuke approached her with a bag of his own and squatted next to her.
"Here we have pain killers, snacks, napkins, hygiene products, essential oils, I even bought heating pads and massage pillows. I didn't know whether you'd prefer Twinings or Yorkshire so I bought them both-"
"You bought the companies?!"
"And I bought cocoa, chocolate and double-layered socks to keep you warm."
"What's the package at the bottom of the bag?"
"Daisuke-sama you're terrible at lying."
"Alright. It's something that I bought just in case."
He took the package out and Suzue blushed.
"I'm.. not implying anything it's just to make you feel better. If you want you can use me as well.."
The blush couldn't leave both of their faces so Daisuke put everything aside and headed towards the doors.
"I'm going to make Earl grey because it goes well with chocolate. I'll be right back."
With this said, he left the room and Suzue squeaked in her hands.
Did he.. seriously just thought about the things she assumed he did? He really considered it for her own sake..
When he returned he placed the painkillers, cup of tea and chocolate box on the nightstand before joining her on the other side of the bed. He searched Claire Luvcat and they watched Cream Heroes together. Suzue smiled so much upon looking at the screen showing her beautiful kittens. Daisuke made her smile again and it made him proud.
"Which one is your favorite?"
"Oh" Suzue was taken by surprise "I like Lulu because he's funny and cute."
Suzue just laughed sweetly "No it's her cat, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't put her cat on sale for any money in this world. Besides, the cat would be really sad when separated from her owner. It's where he belongs, they're practically inseparable."
Suzue squeaked again and Daisuke smiled.
"Mr. Coco reminds me of Furry Elise a lot. I like him, they'd have a nice litter."
"Thinking of becoming a breeder?" Suzue teased him.
"Not really, although it brings good money. Somewhere around ¥158.386,50 for a kitten."
"Yes if the parents are two purebred cats. Coco is a British longhair and Furry Elise is Maine Coon. Besides, you'll get too attached and wouldn't allow me to separate them from you so it's a losing game."
Suzue laughed fondly "It's true, sometimes money can't buy everything."
Daisuke hugged her closer to himself and kissed her head.
"I wanted to apologize for everything I told you early in the morning. I didn't mean it, the things I said were not true and it was reckless of me to even address you with such disrespect. You were trying to make me feel better this entire time and everything I did in return was rejecting your every attempt. I'm so sorry for offending you like this."
Daisuke turned her face gently towards his own and made her look him in the eyes.
"You'd never offend me, Suzue. There's no way in millions years that you'd be able to do things like this, because you're kindhearted and overall a beautiful person. Remember that."
Suzue looked at him with so much adoration in her eyes.
"Besides, you're right. I'm not the one to decide what people should do with themselves and by not doing anything for you when you needed me the most, I'd feel like I'm letting you down and you definitely didn't deserve that. In fact, you deserve so much better and I'd like to live up to your expectations, if you let me."
"I do. I just hope that I didn't ruin your plans for today."
"This is exactly how I wanted it to spend, together with you."
Maybe he didn't deserve her but Daisuke promised himself to make sure that Suzue feels appreciated every single day.
