Sleepless Love

Chapter 20

Again, the next couple days were very conflicting for the woman, she didn't know what to do. Her mind was having a large battle with her heart. She didn't know what to do, her mind was screaming at her to attempt to escape, to leave the man, to run as far as she could, but her heart wanted to just allow herself to be taken care of.

The days passed her by all the same, she awoke to Todoroki bringing her breakfast in bed and telling her about his schedule for the day and when he was off work the man just spent the day with the woman. Almost following her the entire day, like a little puppy. Todoroki loved the woman and wanted her to be around her the entire time.

This particular day Todoroki was off from work, he awoke curled up to the woman of his dreams in his arms. He then decided to get her some breakfast, a smile on his face as he walked down the stairs planning on playing some classical music while he made her the breakfast when his phone rang.

Todoroki answered the call, "Hello, Todoroki Shouto speaking how can I help?" The man answered in his professional sounding voice, but he had a little tiredness still within it.

"Hello this is detective Murakami, I just wanted to ask some questions about a miss [L/N] [Y/N]'s disappearance. Is this a good time?" A familiar voice called to the man through the phone line.

Todoroki paused for a moment in contemplation, then decided he best answer the man, "Yes this is a good time, how can I assist you?" Todoroki spoke to the man on the phone. Todoroki fitted his phone in between his shoulder and ear before starting to prep breakfast for his beloved.

Todoroki heard some typing on a computer on the phone, "Well, when was the last time you heard from the woman? I know you called to report her missing." Murakami spoke, he hadn't forgotten Midoriya's suspicions but had to get evidence rather than accuse the man of doing something to the four people that have gone missing.

"I last spoke to her the day I contacted you, she sent me a message saying she was coming over to my home, but she never showed." Todoroki explained to the man, the lies flowing out of his mouth naturally.

Murakami hummed on the other line, "I know you and her contacted us both about the villain Dabi assaulting her, we found some ashes within the same alleyway and DNA tested it. We should get those results back soon," Murakami explained, "Is there anything else we need to know about?" Murakami asked the man.

Todoroki thought over everything he could say to get them off his back, "I had been walking her to and from work since the attack, I offered to walk or send a car to pick her up, but she refused." Todoroki explained, Murakami hummed and nodded to himself. Todoroki began plating up the food he had made during the entire phone call.

"Okay, I'll get back to you soon Todoroki thanks for you time." Murakami spoke before hanging up before Todoroki could say anything. Once the call ended Todoroki placed his phone into his pocket and began to grab the tray with [Y/N]'s breakfast on. The man headed upstairs to his sleepy beloved.

That night after [Y/N] and Todoroki had spent a full day together, Todoroki doting on her the entire day. She was still having a battle with herself, her brain and heart were battling, she really needed to sort out her thoughts and feelings about the man sleeping next to her.

"Okay so, Todoroki kidnapped me and killed three people." The woman whispered to herself as she stared at the ceiling in their shared room, her mind working over everything. "But he waits on me hand on foot like I'm a princess." She finished out loud. "He cooks for me, I don't have to clean or do anything, he treats me, he lets me do things, he never hurts me or let anyone hurt me." [Y/N] murmured.

Todoroki laid on the bed listening to everything the woman was saying, waiting and listening to the words she was saying.

"Even Dabi, a villain and a notorious one at that, said he loved me." [Y/N] spoke, Todoroki heard everything. He knew that they had had a conversation about him, and the woman was slowly believing the man. Todoroki was getting excited.

"Do I love him?" [Y/N] whispered to herself. Todoroki could feel himself almost vibrating with excitement.
