Teacher's Pet

Chapter 21 - Alone

He had done what was promised at least.

There was more furniture in the house and it was looking a little more homely. 

"(Y/n), I'm almost finished in your room, come up and you can help me decide where to put everything!" He chirped.

He was up in the attic from the crack of dawn. There was basic electrical sockets and insulation but it was...gross. The lack of windows made the air hard to breath and the walls were ugly and full of cracks. 

Oikawa had promised to get your room to a nice standard before the rest of the house, and from the looks of it he was definitely putting the work in. Every time he came to visit you he was covered in some new substance and sweating.

He walked into the room and picked you up, untying you but keeping you in a tight grip as he ushered you towards the attic entrance. 

"Up the ladders- c'mon you know this" he complained. 

You were reluctant but decided that it was best not to disobey him.

I swear to god if I get into this attic and he's transformed it into some 50 shades of grey kinky room I'm gonna break his balls-

Actually, it was almost scarily normal…

But also very ominous. The room was very warm, the only light course coming from the single lightbulb in the middle of the room. It seemed that Tōru had decided to make the attic somewhat of a personal apartment type for you. 

There was a small, second-hand couch, a bed, a desk, a small table with two chairs, some drawers and your clothes dumped on top of the bed. 

"So? Cosy isn't it? I thought since you'd be spending most of your time up here it should be like a little pad for you, y'know? Somewhere you can chill out. I'll get a TV eventually but that's gonna take some more time for the wiring- other than that it's about done! The paint should be dry, so if you wanna change things around you can"

"So...I stay here when you're at work?" You mumbled. 

"Precisely!" 

"Oh...okay..."

"I'll always get back as quick as possible, I've left some thing for you to do- you can write, draw, read, play games, you can put all of your clothes away and neaten up your room! Don't worry, you'll settle in" he beamed. 

"...okay..." 

"Should we go get some food?"
