i tenderly pushed our lips together. it was only for a moment, but in that moment i felt okay. like everything was okay...and i can't remember when the last time i felt that was before.
suddenly i was pulled away from that bliss, by my hair of course. i felt myself hit the ground as i heard the brunette gasp. "d-dad!" i looked up to see the brown haired man who held me by my blond locks. fear ran through me as i saw a look of animosity present on his face. "what the fuck were you doing with my daughter?!" his voice echoed throughout the room as i saw his wife approach from behind him. nervous, i stuttered looking between him and ochako. "n-nothing sir! w-we weren't doing anything!" i exclaimed as i saw him glare at his daughter and yell at her the same question. "you two kissed?! what are you? a fucking faggot?!" he yelled at her. "i-it was me! i came onto her!" i cried out not wanting him to hurt her. "you brought a fucking dyke into my house?!" i could see ochako's eyes well up as she tried to defend me. he soon yanked me by my tresses as i shrieked in pained. my back felt everyone of those stairs like steak knives til he unlocked the door and tossed me out of the house. "don't ever fucking speak, nor look at my daughter ever again you fucking lesbo." he said sternly, but not leaving without a firm slap across my cheek, leaving a red mark where his hand quickly was.
i sat on the curb in front of her house crying. i could hear them arguing from here. and conveniently, and not at all cliché, it started to rain. i felt every cold rain drop on my now black and blue skin. and not to mention my ankle felt like it had been ground to pieces. but nothing hurt more than the fact that i had probably just lost ochako. and this time...it wasn't even my fuck up. why me?...why us?! i screamed out in agony. "agh!" the rainfall being my only comforter. i hugged my knees to my chest and sobbed.
the sun set sooner than the moon rose, and the sky faded from a amber orange to a oxford blue. the stars littered the sky like sunflowers in a flower field. i looked up and wiped my tears with a long, heavy sigh. i dropped my gaze to my surroundings. nothing but bright street lights and a cold feeling in the air. i was all by myself on this road, physically and metaphorically it felt like now. i stood up, on one foot. as i sighed again, my breath vaporizing before my very eyes. i needed to get home before the night got any older. my phone buzzed prior to me pulling it out. oh. jin...i put my phone back into my pocket. i'll talk to him when i get back home.
i started my limp back home. it took forever, might i add, but it was probably the least shitty part of my day...except i was alone with my thoughts. i just really hoped that ochako was okay. her dad seemed...really upset. but was it just because we were gay?- well we are gay. that's it? i approached a rock on my journey and picked it up. i analyzed it slowly, wiping the white dirt off of it with my thumb before i winded up my arm and tossed it at the stop sign. "stupid fucking homophobe!" i screamed out in anger before remembering i was close to home. i quickly sped up til i was at the door of my shared apartment. i swiftly unlocked the door and walked in, relocking it previous to taking off my shoes. i instantly jumped onto the couch, regretting it immediately and cursing in pain. "hey! are you okay?" jin came running into the room. "w...what the fuck happened?!" he cursed. "nothing twice! just leave me alone!" i yelled in annoyance and turned myself away from him. "what the hell toga? i thought you went to see ochako.." "i did dumbass." "then what the fuvk happened to you?" "...her dad's homophobic..." "...oh..." he said before walking around to the front of the couch and sitting on the ground. "himiko...i'm so sorry..." he patted my head softly as i winced in pain before breaking out into tears.
i didn't see ochako that entire day at school. i presume she's...avoiding me. just like her father told her. i sighed before i entered the gym in my volleyball uniform. i was on crutches now, but i came here for her. i seen her talking to bunni. she and i made eye contact for the smallest moment before she instantly turned away. she hates me now...i know she does. i held back my tears and sat onto the bench to watch this stupid sport i only joined for her.
it was after practice now. i limped into the locker room and grabbed my shit. my locker was right next to her's but she grabbed her stuff early. i quickly took off my shirt and replaced it with a dry one, since that hot gym made me sweat just by being on the bench, before stuffing it into my bag and throwing that over my shoulder, stumbling a bit in the process. i shot her one last glance before i pushed open the door and walked into the school and out the building.
i bent down to tie my shoes for a second before i felt someone place their hand on my shoulder. i looked up and it was her. standing over me. she had a soft red tint over her face and regret in her big brown eyes. "hey..." she said. "hey.." i replied before i finished knotting my shoes and stood up, she bent down and picked up my crutches for me and placed them by my sides. "rough practice huh?" i asked not wanting things to be awkward. "yeah...how's your ankle?" she asked as her gazed lowered. "bad. really bad." i said. "listen...i'm sorry for-" "it's alright." i interrupted her. "it's not your fault." "but toga-" "it did hurt though," i interrupted her again. "seeing you avoid me." "i thought you hated me..." ochako trailed off looking away from me. "i could never hate you, pink cheeks." i said lifting her chin to look at me. i stared into her big brown orbs before she closed them and pressed our lips together again. she slid her hand onto my waist and gripped it, making sure i wouldn't fall. my eyes widen for a moment as shock filled my body. but slowly my eyes drooped and my hand found a resting spot on her neck. i fully closed myself and immersed myself into this kiss.
