FORELSKET ( Inumaki Toge X Reader )

25.

We all arrived at the training grounds when we saw Dad leaning on the big tree. He is carrying six venti sized Starbucks.

My eyes twinkled just by looking at it. When was the last time I went out to buy my favorite brand of coffee? My life has been hectic ever since I entered Jujutsu Tech.

I immediately run towards Dad and said,

"Caramel Macchiato?"

"Yes, darling," he said, then handed me one.

He faced the others then gave them coffee.

"What brings you here, sensei?" Megumi asked.

"Well, I saw some interesting things on Instagram," he answered, then look at Toge-senpai's direction.

He also looks at me then grins, trying to tease me.

"Toge, can we talk?" He said.

He didn't even wait for Senpai to respond. He walks towards the other side of the training grounds.

Toge-senpai looked at me then smiled before walking away.

I am watching them when Nobara tapped my shoulder.

"So when will you tell me what's going on with you and Inumaki-senpai?" She asked

I look around us, and when I saw the other three starting their training, I decided to answer her.

"Uh, how do I even start? The first time I met him, I was mesmerized. I don't know what I was feeling that time. Then we got pretty close with each other. Then you know that since Yuji... since that incident, Toge-senpai never left my side, right?" I said, trying to catch my breath upon reminiscing about what happened weeks ago.

Nobara squeezed my hand.

"It's okay if you're not yet ready to tell me." She said.

"No, no. It's okay. So after that, we got closer. I am comfortable having him around. I love how he holds my hand or how he plays with my hair. I love everything about him. Then last night, before you a barged into my room again, he told me that he likes me," I said while blushing.

Nobara didn't speak, so I look at her. She put her hand on her mouth, and her eyes widened, then look back at me.

"Oh sh—, so we ruined the moment!" She said loudly.

"So, did you confessed too?" She added

"Hmm, not yet. I'm just 17, you know? I think I'm not yet ready to enter a relationship. Not until I turn 18," I answered her truthfully.

"That makes sense. Besides, I think what you both have right now is enough." She said

I look in my Dad and Toge-senpai's direction. I saw them started walking back to us. They were both smiling. Dad's arms were in Toge-senpai's shoulder. I wonder if what they talked about.

"Looks like it went well," Nobara said, looking at the two.

After drinking our coffee, we also started training.

I was busy practicing my archery skills. I was so close to hitting the center of the target. Thank God I wore my specs.

"Wow, talk about a swift improvement." Maki-senpai praised me.

"You have this technique where you form circles, right?" She said

I nodded while looking at her, confused.

"How about trying to improve that while improving your archery skills, too?" She said

My eyes widened after realizing what she meant by that. She laughed then started practicing on her own.

So now, I am trying to form an arrow using compressed gravity.

Wow, this is hard.

After few attempts, I successfully made one arrow. I tried shooting it towards the target, it instantly disappeared.

"Try putting more cursed energy into it!" Dad shouted while he's under the big tree.

Oh, he's still here?

I listened to his advice. I concentrated my cursed energy on my right palm to form an arrow. After few seconds, I made it.

I tried reshooting it. This time, I was able to reach the target but not the center.

Okay, I get it now. I should also apply Gravity Manipulation on the path of the arrow!

I tried it again for few times until I finally hit the center of the target.

"Yes!" I said

This training is starting to get fun but draining at the same time.
