I wish I were Keigo...

Chapter 8

I sit in bed with tears streaming down my face. I gasp for breath, getting choked up on my tears.

~Why would you ever kiss me? I'm not even half as pretty.~

Kevin stands on his hind legs, lapping my feet face.

I sniffle, smiling weakly at him. "I'm sorry," I say softly, stroking his fur. "I'm sorry I'm not good enough."

Voices come from outside my door along with a loud bang. I jump, hesitantly standing and heading towards my bedroom door.

I press my ear to the door, hearing Dabi and another male laughing. Two pairs of footsteps go silent after a door is closed.

My chest sinks to my feet.

The next morning, I see Dabi sitting in the couch. His head is leaned back with a satisfied expression on his face.

He hears me come into the bar area, peeking an eye at me.

"Good afternoon, sleepy head," he teases.

I ignore him, going to the bar and sitting on the stool. 

Kurogiri notices my bloodshot eye through Father. He leans down to me.

"What happened to you last night? I thought you went to the new years even party with Dabi," he whispers.

I look away. "I don't wanna talk about it."
