The Sinful Liar - Shohei Ohtani x Reader.

TSL. Note 2

Shohei's POV:

[Y/N H]
"I am on my period today"

I read her text and put aside the phone on the table nearby to focus on my running machine. A sigh of relief just unintentionally escapes me. This morning I woke up while she's still sleeping peacefully in my arm. It took me alot of self restraint not to spend more minutes watching her sleep. I kept thinking how crazy I had been to not use protection the night before, and now I can finally stop worrying.

But shit, I can't touch her at least in 5 days.

I shift to stretch my legs, trying not to think too much about it. The routine helps. Soon I can't think of anything else but focusing on the rhythm of each step.

"You're always the one who shows up earliest in the morning" A voice sounds behind me and I turn around, meeting the eyes of my little brother.

"Tacchan" I greet Lars with a smile, taking a bottle from the table. "What makes you go to the gym in the early morning like this?"

He shrugs and starts warming up himself by stretching in front of the machines, "This is my only perfect time" He replies matter of factly.

I roll my eyes and take another swig. "You really hate exercising don't you?" And then he laughs and turns to me as we continue with our warm up exercises.

"Why did you go home so soon last night?" He asks innocently while busy doing some pushups.

"I need to sleep. Was there any fun after I went home?" I reply nonchalantly. My eyes focus on the elliptical trainer next to him. We both sit down at our respective machines and begin the same warm ups exercise, except I'm moving slower this time.

"Well yeah, Y/N also left right after that. She was probably tired out"

"Oh?" I look sideways at him, pretending to be surprised.

He looks back at me, "Yeah" Then he chuckles lightly like a fool.

"What's that smile for?" I ask with an eyebrow arched

He shrugs again and continues his warm ups exercise with big grin. "Just, I remember our kiss last night"

Shit.

"You like her?" I try sounding cool when I say that, but all I want to do is scream 'fuck'.

"I-I don't know, too soon to tell anything. But I think I like talking to her" He says with a sheepish face. My shoulders drop in relief and I let out a long breath.

"I even invited her a dinner tonight, but she asked me to move it to this weekend.". He adds quickly as if he's afraid I might change the subject to crepe or something.

"That's good to hear"

"She told me that today she was tired" He smiles.

That was because I fucked her senseless yesterday. I think.

I let out a smirk, hoping he doesn't notice it. He's already starting on some squats.

"By the way, how is your businessman's life going on lately?" I ask while my hands are working on the treadmills.

Lars stops for a moment, looking at me through the mirror "Still have to go on some events with my old man. I am definitely not born for these things"

His tone changes slightly as he speaks "I never thought I would have to take over the job that Liam was supposed to take care of"

He lets out a sad chuckle, continuing with his squats.

My heart sinks. I know how bad that must be for him.
