90. “Catch me if you can!”
“Catch me if you can!” you taunted.
Although others may critique you for your juvenile nature, you loved to play with Toshinori. And, thank God he was just as silly as you were. Playing games was fun with him, even though the two of you were adults
“I’ll catch you!” he proclaimed. He chased you around the couch, and you yelped when his hands embraced you from behind. “Aha! Got ya.”
You smirked. “Fine, fine, now I’m it!”
He deviously smiled and ran, and you sprinted in order to catch up with him. “No Quirk usage!”
“I know!” he called back. “I’m just naturally fast, you know~”
“Are you, now?” you joked. “Let’s see!” Hurriedly, you clambered over a stray pillow, and the cat meowed in protest when you accidentally woke her from her nap. “Sorry, Nana~” you called.
Toshinori grinned, and he eventually slowed down for you to catch him. You leapt up to wrap your arms around his torso; he was so tall.
“Gotcha!” you cried out triumphantly.
He caressed your head, threading his fingers in your hair. “Yup!”
96. “Well this is just great.”
You woke up, feeling groggier than usual. “What…” After a few minutes or so, you sat up from the bed, your head still swimming in confusion. “Toshi-?”
Turning to your side, you saw his sleeping, limp form breathing heavily.
Your room was a mess. The lamp was on the floor, askew, the bed sheets were ripped off, the curtains precariously hanging from the windows… The room reeked of alcohol.
“What...happened…?” you wondered. The memory of last night’s events hit you like a truck.
Drunk.
Cursing under your breath, you sprang out of bed and realized you were naked. Groaning, you threw on your clothes, which were left deserted on the floor.
Toshinori moved, shifting on the bed, and he finally opened his eyes. “Hm?”
“We made a mess,” you mumbled, attempting to fix the curtains. “Can you help me put this up?”
“Oh.” Toshinori sat up, then hit his head with his hand. “Well this is just great.”
“Yeah, you could say that.”
He got up, and you blushed, averting your gaze as he threw on some clothes. It wasn’t long before he stood behind you, easily putting the curtains up.
“You’re so tall. Unfair,” you huffed.
He smiled, then kissed the top of your head. “You’re wearing my shirt.”
You looked down to see that you were, indeed, wearing his shirt. “Dang…”
Toshinori chuckled. “What even happened last night?”
“Good question. I think we were really drunk,” you said, gaze fixed on the empty bottles of whiskey by the bed. “We need to clean up.”
“On it,” he said, picking up the lamp.
112: “Why are you bleeding? ”
You clenched your fists, a sudden wave of pain jabbing at your stomach. “Oww…”
Toshinori glanced your way. “[reader/name]?”
“I’m alright.” The pain in your stomach was, thankfully, fleeting. You stood up from the dining table and approached him. “I can wash the dishes today.”
“Hey, it’s alright! I didn’t do them last night, so- WHAT? [reader/name]!”
“What?” Alarmed, you felt your eyebrows furrow in concern.
“Why are you bleeding?” The color drained from Toshinori’s face, and he trembled slightly, one finger pointing to the beads of blood pooling in between your legs.
You cursed, then ran into your room’s washroom.
Your periods never seemed to arrive on schedule; they were irregular and usually heavy on the first few days. Of course, that would explain the sudden pain from earlier.
A sudden knocking on the door scared you. “[reader/name], are you alright?”
You sighed when you realized it was just Toshinori. “Yeah, don’t worry. I got my period.”
He went quiet, and you wondered what his reaction was.
After you washed your undergarment and pants with cold water, you hastily grabbed a pad and new clothes.
You unlocked the door. Toshinori’s face was white. “Hey.”
“Uh, hi! Is there anything I can do to help? I’m sorry that I freaked out!”
“Don’t worry, love,” you said reassuringly. “It must have taken you off guard...I mean, it took me off-guard. I just need to clean the blood from the kitchen-”
“Oh, I already cleaned it.”
“You did?” Incredulous, you blinked. “Wow.”
Nervously, Toshinori looked at the floor. “Yeah...was that okay?”
“Of course. Thanks!”
“Please, let me know if you need anything,” Toshinori added. “I can go out and buy toiletries or food or whatever.”
Warmth flooded your body. Here was someone who you could truly depend on, someone who supported you no matter what. “Thanks, Toshinori. You’re the best.”
He grinned, then his face grew grim. “I’m so fortunate I don’t need to go through periods.”
“You are!” you said, giggling.
