Chapter 10

Previously on Chapter 9

"What are you talking about, Y/N? You're the most human person I have ever met. What you were didn't matter at all. You are you..." he said. His words really warms my heart. I wrap my arms around him. I'm so happy to be a part of them.

-It Doesn't Matter-

Y/N P.O.V

They gave us a free day. We can do whatever we want today. Everyone agrees on having a movie day. I have never been to a cinema before. I don't know what to expect. So I just go along with them.

"Why don't you look excited, Y/N?" Kugisaki said. I turn my head to look at her. "Well... this is my first time going to a cinema" I said. Her eyes widened at what I said.

"First time?? Why?" She asked. I let out a sigh and place my hands behind my back as we continue to walk. I hold my hands together tightly. A dejected look is shown on my face.

"Well... ever since I got turned into a human. I've never really been given the chance to live like one. Those people from the upper class still treated me like a curse. I guess, maybe that's why I'm having a hard time to accept who I've become. All these time they've always believed that I'm a monster. A curse... despite looking like a human. Some part of me also thinks that way..." I said. I look down with a sad look on my face.

I flinch when someone flicks my forehead. I turn my head to see Fushiguro. "What's that for?" I asked, as I rub the spot where he flicked me. He scoffs at what I said.

"For being an idiot, of course. Who cares about what you were. You don't live in the past. You live now... in the present. Don't think about what you were. You need to think about what you are, and what do you want to be" he said. The others nods their heads in agreement. I blink my eyes as I stare at them back and forth. A soft smile eventually appear on my face.

"Thank you, everyone..." I said. Kugisaki grins and wraps an arm around my shoulder. "That's more like it. A smile suits you best, rather than that a frown. Right, Inumaki-Senpai?" She said, turning to look at the white-haired boy. I turn my head to look at him. He closes his eyes, letting me know that he's smiling while giving me a thumbs up. I can feel my cheeks getting warmer.

Kugisaki notices my reddened cheeks and start to poke it playfully. "You like him~" Kugisaki whispers in a hush voice, just loud enough for me to hear. Hearing what she said makes my whole face getting even redder. The others stares at me in confusion.

"What did you said to her, Kugisaki? She looks like a tomato" Maki said. Kugisaki just smirks at what she said. She opens her mouth to say it. But I covers her mouth.

"It's nothing! It's nothing!!" I said, frantically waving my free hand. I turn to Kugisaki and gives her a look. A look that said 'don't you dare say a thing.' She just giggles which sounded muffled because of my hand.

Itadori and Kugisaki will be the one to buy for the movie tickets. I just lean my back against the wall next to Toge while waiting for them. I have no idea what movie they picked. But I won't complain. It's my first time in a cinema. Might as well try to enjoy it.

We head inside the room where our movie will be playing. I take a seat, with Toge next to me. I lean my back against the backrest as we wait for the movie to begin.

A While Later

No one's going to love you. And you know why? Because you're a monster. I hate you... I will never love or be with someone like you! You disgusting monster! The person in the movie said. I can feel my chest tightens at what the character said.

I glance towards Toge who's sitting next to me. His attention if fully on the movie. I wonder if he too feel that way. I wonder if he will never return what I feel for him because I'm a monster.

I can feel tears slowly streaming down my face. I bit my lips as I stand up from my seat. I turn around and rush out of the room. I ended up at the corridor of the cinema.

I lean my back against the wall as I start to cry softly. I keep my head down, as I let the tears to keep falling from my eyes. I close my eyes tightly as my body starts to tremble. I pay no mind to what's happening around me.

I feel a hand on my cheek, which makes me flinch. I turn my head to see Toge. "Why are you crying?" He asked, in a soft voice. He gently wipe the tears from my cheeks.

I just look away from him. He let out a sigh and pulls me into a hug. I froze at his sudden move. But soon relaxes and returns the gesture. I bury my face in the crook of his neck as I start to cry once again.

"Was it about what the character said? Are you... afraid that people won't accept you because of what you used to be?" He asked, after I've calmed down. I just nod my head, without saying anything. Toge just stares at me.

"It's more than just that, isn't it?" He asked. I turn to look at him. He stares into my eyes as he waits for me to say something. I look down, avoiding his eyes.

"I'm... more afraid of what you think of me, Toge. I really like you. I'm scared that... you might not feel the same way, because I'm a monster" I said, in a soft voice. I keep my head away, because I don't want to see his reaction to my sudden confession.

"Y/N... look at me" he said. I just keep looking away. I feel his hand on my cheek. He gently turn my head to look at him. He caress my skin softly as he stares into my e/c eyes.

"I do like you. No... I love you. I've said this once and I'll say it again. It doesn't matter what you were. You might be a curse before. But you're a human now... I will love you for who you are. Not for what you used to be..." he said. My eyes soften as tears escapes my eyes.

"You really mean that?" I asked. Toge smiles softly as he leans his forehead against mine. He nods his head. "Of course... I'm sorry for letting you be the one to confess. In all honesty, I planned on telling you how I feel after the movie. But, you beat me to it. But it's all true. I love you, Y/N..." he said. I smile happily at what he said.

He smiles at me and slowly leans in, gently placing a soft kiss on my lips. My eyes flutter close as I kisses him back. I slowly wrap my arms around his neck, as I kiss him back. He wraps his arms around me. I tilt my head slightly, deepening the kiss. I'm so happy... Toge loves me back.
