FORELSKET ( Inumaki Toge X Reader )

53.

It was already nighttime, and we are gathered in Toge's room. We just finished another session of reviewing the lessons, and everyone seems to understand it finally.

Right now, we are playing Call of Duty. Or more like, they are playing, and I am panicking most of the time.

"Oh my God. Wait, what should I do?"

Before I knew it, my character is already dead.

I continued watching them play. They are all so good! That's so unfair! After a while, they are done.

"Wah, finally! There's something that Y/N can't do!" Nobara commented.

"It feels like she will throw her phone anytime," Yuta-senpai added.

"That's because every time my character got resurrected, someone will shot me after a minute!" I tried to explain.

They just laughed at me!

"Last one!" Maki-senpai added.

They started preparing for another round.

"Pass. I'll just watch all of you play," I said.

After a while, they started. I was watching on Nobara's screen when her character died.

"Wait. What happened? How did you die?" I asked her.

"That idiot Megumi shot me," she said, gritting her teeth.

Before she began explaining things I don't really understand, I started backing off and went to watch on Toge's screen.

I clapped my hands excitedly when he shot the enemy.

"Why are you all so good at this game?" I murmured.

He just laughed at me, then ruffled my hair for a bit, then continued playing again.

After a while, they are already done and started going back to their room. I decided to stay a little bit to clean the mess that we did.

"Baby, I'll clean it. Just sit. I know you're tired," Toge said.

I sighed and did what he told me to do. I'm still feeling a little bit awkward because of what happened yesterday, that's why I want to talk things with him.

When he finished cleaning, he sat beside me. No one was speaking. Wow, this is so awkward. I'm not too fond of the silence between us.

"Y/N, come here, please," he spoke while tapping his lap.

I crawled my way on his lap, sitting and trying to be comfortable.

"I'm sorry," we both said at the same time.

"No, no, no. Let me speak first," I said while covering his lips with my palm.

He nodded, so I removed my hand.

"So, as I was saying, I'm really sorry. I said things I shouldn't say out of anger. I got mad and doubted your feelings that day because it feels like you left me hanging alone. I hate it, Toge. My heart can't take it, and I don't want to experience it again. It feels like I will lose my sanity. You know I only have you and the guys, so I don't want any of you getting mad at me," I explained.

"Y/N, I should be the one apologizing. I don't know what came into my mind when I started speaking yesterday. I know that you've been carrying a lot of burdens, and I didn't try to understand you enough. But, I hate how you always handle things alone when you can rely on us, on me, baby," he said.

"I promise I'll try to be more open with all of you," I assured him.

"As you should, baby."

"I missed you," I said again and started hugging him.

"We're still new with dealing with things like this, and we are just starting. We might face hardships along the way, but let's survive it together, okay?" He asked and hugged me back.

I nodded, agreeing with what he said.

"Baby, go to sleep. We still have an assessment tomorrow," he spoke again.

"I don't want. I'm really comfortable with my place," I said, giggling a little.

He planted a light kiss on my cheeks, so I copied him. I gave him another kiss on his other cheeks, then on his forehead, then on his nose.

I stopped after that. His eyes widened and pointed at his lips. I went near his face, pretending to kiss him, but I kissed the mark on his cheeks instead when I was inches away.

"Baby, stop teasing me," he said while pouting.

"Can't help it. You look really cute when you're frustrated!"

"I am not."

"You are! I wanna bite your cheeks because it's so fluffy."

"What am I? A food?"

"Come on. Just once, please," I said while raising my index finger.

He sighed but still nodded, permitting me. I smiled at him before bitting his cheeks lightly.

"Done? Now, kiss me," he commanded using his cursed speech technique.
