FORELSKET ( Inumaki Toge X Reader )

60.

/After lunchtime; training grounds/

I was sitting under the tree with Toge while others are doing their stuff.

"Toge, you should train too. I'll follow you later. Just give me some time to rest," I said.

"I told you that we could skip practice for today. You should take rest properly. You've been out for weeks," he commented, then put my head on his shoulder.

"It's okay. Besides, if I stay in my room, I'll start thinking about Ayumi and miss her more."

"Let's visit her this weekend, okay? I miss her, too, so much."

"If you're not going to train, let me sleep for 30 minutes, okay?" I said, leaning closer to him.

He put his arms around my waist, so I did the same thing.

I was about to close my eyes when Ema, the first-year, suddenly stood in front of me.

"Senpai, let's have a sparring," she said.

I sat up properly. Why does it feel like this girl doesn't like me?

"The last time Y/N had a sparring, everyone almost got injured," I heard Nobara said.

Oh, she's talking about what happened with Mai-san.

"Why?" I asked the girl in front of me.

"To prove me that I'm wrong, that you got accepted here because of your skills."

I smiled. She's getting into my nerves. Why do I have to prove myself to her?

"You see, I'm a little bit tired. Can we do it later?" I asked, trying to be calm.

"Then, I'll take that as you don't want to spar with me. Are you, perhaps, afraid?"

I laughed a bit, then brushed my hair using my fingers, trying to hide my frustrations.

"Baby, calm down," Toge whispered.

I stood up.

"I'm a long-range fighter, but okay, I'll do it. If any of us land a hit to the opponent, then she'll be the winner," I said, stating my own rules.

"Deal."

"Y/N, do you really have to do this?" Megumi asked.

I glanced at him. I noticed that everyone is already there.

"Y/N, you don't have to do it. You're tired. You need to rest, love," Toge said.

"Don't worry. I'll be okay. I won't lose control like last time," I assured them.

I didn't know that the first years are a bit problematic.

"I'm actually worried about the first year. Hold back a little bit, Y/N," Maki-senpai said.

"What? I heard that she's great in hand-to-hand combat," I said after remembering the files of the first years that I read.

I walked towards the field when I saw that she's already there.

"Let's start?" I asked.

She didn't answer. Instead, she immediately attacked me.

She tried kicking and punching me a few times, but I only stopped it. I didn't try to attack.

I only observed her movements. I sighed then put my hands inside my pockets.

Come on. I just want to sleep. I don't even know why she's so angry at me.

"Did I do something wrong to you?" I asked her as I continued to evade her attacks.

"Senpai, take this more seriously," she said, not answering my question.

Her movements went a little bit faster than before. I smiled. Okay, I'll admit it. She's pretty good, but I'm not too fond of her attitude.

I'm starting to get tired and bored. My dad, who used to train me for years, is way faster than her, so evading her attacks is easy.

This time, I tried going on offense mode. I tried going easy, afraid that I'll hurt her.

I kicked her lightly on her right thigh, but she was able to stop it. I didn't waste any second and did a quick turn and kick her on the left side.

"I won. Can I rest now?" I said and started walking back to Toge, who's still waiting under the tree.

He smiled when he saw me approaching. I sat down.

"That's my girl," he commented, then patted my head.

"Let me sleep," I said and leaned closer to him.

I put my head on his shoulder and my right leg above his left leg. He immediately snaked his arms around my waist.

"Take a rest, baby. You've been doing great all this time. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone. Just be yourself."

I smiled. He knows what to say at times like this. I closed my eyes and let myself fall asleep.
