Married To A Gangster

NINE

I woke up yawning as I stretched my body in bed like a cat. I rubbed my eyes slowly opening them as I looked around, for a second I panicked when I didn't recognize the room
But then I remembered that I had married Touya.

Sighing, I got out of bed walking into the bathroom to rinse my face. Looking up in the mirror I saw my face, my mind went back to what I was told about my looks by Touya. Maybe I should change something about me...I mean, if he sees me that ugly does that mean others do?

This is stressful, I should probably start covering my face with a mask or something. Maybe my freckles make me ugly, or is it my eyes? Are they too big? Too green? I don't know...

I dried my face up and got out walking down the stairs where I heard the voices of Touya talking to another person. "Oh there he is, Hi Izuku" a boy with split colored hair said as he waved bluntly. I smiled waving back at him "I've come to drop off your things for you, I'm not sure if this is everything you can let me know if they're not"

"Well you're so chatty, never seen you talk that much with someone before Shouto" Touya said with a grin making the boy look at him weirdly "anyways uh here, give me a call if you need anything" I reached for the card about to take it from his hand until Touya took it "thanks but, he won't need you. If anything I'll call you if he is missing anything, you can go now"

The two stared at each other intensely while I stood there awkwardly not having a clue on what to do or say. "Fine, I'll go" I waved goodbye at Shouto who waved back as he walked out. I turned over seeing Touya go through the box "books? Why are there so many?"

"I need them to study, some are just to read when I want" I said walking over to the boxes. I looked through them pulling out some of the items "you're a nerd, you don't need all that" he said while shoving the books back. He picked it up walking over to the door and tossing them out.

"Hey! What was that for?" I shouted "I told you, you don't need them" "yes I do, I'm going to start school soon" "school? Didn't you just graduate" "yeah and I'm starting college" he laughed making me frown "college? You don't need that here princess, you got me"

"I do need it, im trying to build myself a future unlike others who dropped out" I said glaring at him making that smile of his fade away. "Look, I might not have a good school reputation, but I have a good reputation with fire I won't hesitate to hurt you with it" he looked down at me making goosebumps grow onto me.

"Now be a good boy and put your stuff away unless you want me to toss them away too" he said walking away. I looked at the boxes and frowned, I can't believe I'm stuck with a man like him. Am I allowed to divorce?

I picked the boxes up walking up the stairs until I made it to my bed room where I took everything out fixing them nicely and putting them away. I grabbed the picture frame of me and my parents where I was a little kid on my father's shoulders as my mother smiled by his side

Smiling, I set it down thinking about the few memories I had with my mother. She was a beautiful woman, a kind one too the relationship her and my father had was so pure. If only I had that, instead I was a given a man who no dignity.
