Hate To Love You... (Hawks/Keigo Takami x Reader)

Chapter 36

Hissing under my breath, my eyes shoot open as a rather uncomfortable pain stabs through my stomach and lower back. My eyes scrunching shut at the disgruntled feeling slowly blossoming through my body. Releasing a rather strained groan, I slowly push myself up to sit against my headboard and rest my head against my wall as I take a deep breath. As I release my breath, my whole body tightens as my legs feel like they're completely removed from my body. My thighs almost feeling numb and like they're not even connected to my body at all. My whole body feeling heavy and groggy.

This doesn't feel good...

As I go to nudge Keigo awake, I notice that his space in my bed is empty. Did he not even bother to wake me up? I know it's polite and everything to leave the person sleeping but I don't want to keep waking up to an empty bed every morning. I need my Keigo cuddles!

Sighing to myself, knowing that I'll have to get out of bed and actually go downstairs if I want to talk to him, I run my fingers through my hair and slide out of my bed. My legs almost bucking under the weight as I grab my bed robe to wear to try and remove the rather groggy feeling pulling me under.

Before I head downstairs, I head to my bathroom and trudge toward my bin full of sanitary pads and tampons ready for my period whenever it arrives. Already knowing that the dreaded week has finally hit me at full force, I grab one of my pads and quickly (and quietly!) put it on before rearranging myself and making sure I look somewhat decent for a Saturday morning. Fluffing up my hair a little and washing my face to make myself feel a little more fresh despite how horrible I actually felt, I clear my throat and nod to myself.

It's fine... I got this!

Once I feel as decent as I can be, I head out of my personal bathroom and into my room. I slide my feet snugly into my slippers before making my way down the stairs. The floorboards of the stairs gently creaking against the weight of my feet as I head toward the kitchen with a small hum. In the kitchen, the sounds of pots and pans clanking together fills the air making my heart swell significantly.

As I reach the kitchen, my heart jumps for joy at the sight before me. There Keigo was, standing at the stove, shirtless (just in his boxers) with a cooking apron. A spatula sat comfily in his hand as he watches the pancake sizzling away in the pan. A whistle leaving his lips as he shakes the pan to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom for when he's about to flip it.

Maybe I can forgive him for not waking me up, if the breakfast is good.

Leaning against the doorway, I watch him closely before narrowing my eyes at the plastic grocery bag laying on the kitchen counter that wasn't there last night. Amai couldn't have put it there, she's at her boyfriends. So it must be Keigo's doing... but what is it? Maybe it's overnight stuff?... Then again, he practically lives here and puts his stuff all over the place whenever he can like he's scenting the place out.

"What are you doing out of bed?" Keigo asks catching my attention, I send him a small smile as he walks toward me and presses a soft kiss to my lips making me hum, "Hm? Miss me in bed?"

"Yeah," I reply honestly, wrapping my arms around his neck tiredly as he pulls me close and lets me snuggle into his warmth while he wraps his wings around me, "Wanted cuddles..."

"You're so adorable when you're sleepy," he coos, picking me up and letting me cling onto him like a koala as he heads back to the stove to make sure he's made enough pancakes, "I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed,"

"Well I appreciate the thought," I muse gently, looking up at him groggily before wincing as another cramping feeling twists in my abdomen, "Ow... fuck..."

"You need a heating pad?" He asks gently, sitting me up on the kitchen counter beside the grocery bag and kissing my nose, "Any painkillers?"

"How did you..." I ask trailing off as he opens up one of the cupboards to pull out the heating pad and some painkillers. My eyes widening slightly as he walks to the calendar on the fridge and points to the part where it's marked with a red dot, "Oh..."
