The Sorrow of Silence [Mirio Togata X Reader]

[17]

I hate school.

That is all I have to say.

Mirio's POV:

It was starting to get harder to breathe and the sun beating down on me was not making anything better. I was completely drenched from head to toe in sweat, some of it crawling down my skin and leaving itchy trails behind. I remove my top layer of P.E. uniform, leaving on a plain white t-shirt and using the blue uniform to wipe the sweat off my forehead, neck, and arms the best I could. I throw it over my shoulder once the itching had mostly subsided and wobble over to the bench which was holding my gym bag and water bottle. I toss my blue top on top of the gym bag before reaching for my water and chugging it all in one go.

I quickly sit down when I felt my stomach cramp painfully. "That was not a good idea." I groan to no one in particular as I hunch over to help with the pain and stay that way until it completely went away. I would say that I wouldn't do that again, but I knew myself too well to know that wasn't going to happen and I would most definitely do it again. "Anyways, I feel better now." I stand up and remove my other shirt, completely drenched and dripping with sweat, I grimace at the sight of it before tossing it on top of my bag as well.

"Mirio."

I nearly jump out of my skin at the familiar brittle voice calling out my name from behind me. "Oh, geez! You almost made me do something involuntary and messy." Tamaki scrunched his face up at the thought of it and I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of it. "What's up, buddy?" I turn back around to continue what I was doing before, reaching into my bag and taking out a plastic bag to stuff my sweaty stuff into it, definitely have to wash it later. I quickly take notice of Tamaki's prolonged silence, which wasn't all that abnormal coming from him but for some reason, I could just tell that something wasn't right and that whatever it was, it was weighing on Tamaki heavily.

I turn to look at him, obviously worried and his expression only added to my worry, Tamaki's own terrified face replacing his usually nervous expression. "What is it, Tamaki?" He looked up at me, but for only a quick moment before immediately looking around, almost as if he were nervously awaiting someone to make an appearance. It left me looking around as well, hoping to find whatever he was looking for and possibly be able to help him relax. It was one thing that Tamaki was a timid little rabbit but it was another thing when he was so terrified that he would practically jump at his own shadow.

"Tama-"

"When was the l-last time you t-talked to (L/n)-san?"

His question left me baffled and at a loss for words. "Huh? Why?" Tamaki continued looking around before looking back at me. "I have something very important to tell you...It's about her." His tone of voice was so ominous, especially since he spoke with no hesitation, that it left me with a bit of fear in me as well.

Nejire's POV:

Look for (L/n)-chan.

Look for (L/n)-chan.

Look for (L/n)-chan.

Look for (L/n)-ch...

"Hi, sensei!"

I grin widely at my sensei as he waves back at me with just as wide of a grin before tucking back inside his class to do whatever it was that the teachers did. I felt extremely giddy after that, the nervous energy from earlier was completely gone and I felt more relaxed. But now I had a deep feeling of forgetting something. I look around, and a couple of friends spot me as I am pondering and excitedly say hello, even approaching me to make small talk. Our small talk lasted about ten minutes before they said their farewells and I sadly let them go. I begin walking around, now craving something to drink, and start heading to the snack area, straight to a vending machine.

I have so many options now, mostly juices but better than nothing at all. "Nejire-chan?" Oh, right! I was looking for, "(Y/n)-chan!" I immediately turn to face one of my favorite people in this whole school. "I have been looking for you!" I jump on her, embracing her tightly, smiling so hard that my cheeks hurt. "You okay?" I pull away from the hug and immediately reach to hold her hand. "Yup! Totally A-OK! I was looking for you!" I felt her hand tighten and when I turn to look at her, her expression somewhat surprised me, she was smiling but there was no joy behind her eye.

That, right there, is what had me remember what I was doing and why I was looking for her. "Yes...Tamaki and Mirio are looking for you as well." Those words right there are what seemed to get a reaction that confirmed Tamaki's suspicions.

"Oh, are they?"

I could feel the chills going down my spine as she speaks to me, finally getting to know the sound of her actual voice as we both grin rather maliciously at each other.

3rd POV:

Mirio sat down, running both hands over his face in disbelief. He had never had any reason to never trust Tamaki but after what he had just been told, he was having a major inner turmoil with himself on whether to believe him or not. "Mirio?" Tamaki could also see the doubt written all over his face, his arms and hands now resting over his knees as he took a seat. "Sorry...I'm...I'm not sure what to think and much less say to what you just told me right now." Tamaki was now incredibly uneasy knowing that Mirio didn't believe him without questions like he usually did, and it kind of upset him. What am I going to do if he doesn't believe me? It'll make (L/n)-san become worse.

"Haaaaa..." Tamaki only grew more anxious the more Mirio reacted in ways he didn't like, Mirio's long sigh making it worse tenfold. "...I can't seem to wrap my head around it," Mirio mumbles into his hands as he presses his fingers to his lips. "Wha-what?" Tamaki could have sworn he heard him say something but Mirio only shakes his head, giving him a reassuring smile in hopes of helping Tamaki to relax some. Mirio then begins to open his mouth, he was going to tell him that he was going to check on (Y/n) himself but before he could get a single word out, he is interrupted by Nejire and (Y/n) running their way.

Mirio immediately beamed at the sight of you but Tamaki felt like he would suffocate at any given second from his own fear.
