Sleepless Love

Chapter 17

Todoroki laid in bed, once again debating if he wants to text [Y/N] to come over now or in a few days. It was only a few days since Dabi burned the bodies. Todoroki pulled out his phone in order to message the woman. He had decided to bring her over today. I mean now or never right?

Todoroki typed, re-typed and re-typed the message. He was throwing messages around in his mind trying to find the perfect way of getting his point across, but then he decided to say, 'fuck it' and just send it. Todoroki sent the message and awaited the response. The man then put the phone down on his bare chest as he just laid down. The comforting nature of the sheets wrapped around him would be much better if [Y/N] was laid next to him, wrapping her hands around him and leaning her head on his chest instead of the cold phone.

[Y/N], with a cup of tea in her hands, was sat on her sofa endlessly scrolling through TikTok. Nothing really going through her mind, just enjoying her day off doing nothing. She was still within her pyjamas, allowing the comfort to wrap around her and soothe her muscles. Her phone 'pinged' so she glanced at the top of the screen just managing to catch the name Todoroki before it disappeared.

The woman blinked and swiped out of TikTok before she clicked on the messages app. [Y/N] then opened the message, it was Todoroki asking her to come over for tea. [Y/N] stared at the words on her screen, should she do it? The woman read over the words again and again, looking over each word and attempting to figure it she should do it.

[Y/N] then decided to type out a response, agreeing to come over. After typing out a response, listening to Uraraka's advice and seeing where it goes, the woman peeled herself away from the sofa. Deciding to get dressed and then head out to Todoroki's home. She had never been to Todoroki's before but thought it may be really nice.

The woman looked through each of her outfits she could wear, soon deciding on a shin length maroon skirt with a tight waist that had two silver buttons on the front and a white long-sleeved blouse. [Y/N] got dressed and then grabbed her dark brown shoulder bag, going over her shoe choices. Should she wear the black wedge heels or the maroon stilettos?

The woman grabbed her phone and looked over her messages, Todoroki had sent her the address and she looked at it then checked it against the maps. It was a fourty minute walk away from her home but if she took the subway it would only take her about fifteen minutes. Due to the walk, she then decided that the black wedges would be best for her feet.

[Y/N] then left her home, following the directions on her map. Her feet carried as she walked, the autumn breeze once again making her regret not bringing a jacket or cardigan or something at least to shield her from it. Her heels making a rhythmic sound as she walked towards the subway.

Her [eye colour] eyes glanced down at her phone as she felt it vibrating in her hand, she was about five minutes from the station, and she was getting a call. [Y/N] raised her eyebrow at the UNKNOWN CALLER on her phone screen. She was a little wary of it but decided to answer it anyway.

"Hello is this [L/N] [Y/N]?" an unfamiliar, but professional, voice called from the other side as she placed it to her ear.

"This is she, who is calling may I ask?" [Y/N] asked the mysterious person on the other side. I mean they knew her name, and clearly her number. [Y/N] could hear some typing noises in the background and a few other people faintly. Maybe it was a scammer?

"This is Murakami, with the police. I'm the lead detective in the Shinso case and I was just calling to ask some more questions is there a good time for you to visit the station?" The male voice called, [Y/N] relaxed a little hearing that it was the police and they just wanted to ask her some questions. She hadn't heard anything from the police for a while and was getting a little antsy waiting for their reply.
