Fabricated Lives (Toji x OC)

34: Cold Morning

A/N:

Sorry I didn't post last Friday, it was my birthday last week, so I was spending time with my friends. But I'm back for the final three chapters of this story. This Friday I will post the last chapter. :(

But don't fret. I will be announcing my next fic soon. And it's good.

Nyoko couldn't help the large smile that spread over her face. She had woken up to Toji looking down at her. She leaned over to kiss him, savoring the feeling of his lips on hers. Toji wrapped his hand around her face, deepening the kiss. His hand snaked around her back, pulling her closer.

"We can't do this." Nyoko moved away from him. "My uncle might walk in on us again."

"That's right, remind me to punch him a couple more times for that." Toji sat up and rubbed his face in his hands. The sun was bright and shining through the windows. Toji had at first hated this when he first stayed with Nyoko, but after living with her he came to enjoy waking up to the sun.

"Don't do that." Nyoko stretched but continued to lay down. "I don't know if I can face my family today, last night was really embarrassing."

Toji leaned down and kissed her again. "Who cares? Now that we're back together, I figured you'd move back into the city, correct?"

Nyoko thought about it for a moment before answering. "I would like that. Living with my family these past few months has been exhausting." She yawned. "Plus I miss Mio. And she's been freaking out ever since I told her I was pregnant. She told me you were pestering her for a job. Last night you said you got a new job, what are you doing now?"

"I figured Satoru would have said something. I'm working at the school now."

"At Jujutsu High?" Nyoko questioned.

"Yeah. It's not too bad. The work is easy, and the money is good."

Nyoko smiled he really was changing.

"Nyoko," Toji's voice was soft. "Will you tell me about Megumi?"

She smiled. "Of course." Nyoko told Toji about how she had gone and visited Megumi and Tsumiki when he was gone on jobs. She also explained the whole conversation she had with Mrs. Fushiguro and how the two started off on the wrong foot but now Nyoko was getting her help for her alcoholism. Nyoko then told him about Megumi, about everything the two had been up to ever since he lived at the Gojo estate with Nyoko.

"I think you should try talking to him. He might start to forgive you once you put in effort."

Toji frowned. "He will never forgive me."

Nyoko rested her hand on the side of his face. "I did."

As a compromise before Toji went to talk to Megumi, Nyoko offered to go try first. She got dressed and first looked in his room, then the dining room. When she finally did find him, he was sitting on one of the rocks overlooking the Zen Garden.

"Mind if I join you?" Nyoko gestured to the rock next to his.

Megumi didn't say anything, his gaze just darted from Nyoko to the rock. So she took this as a sign to continue. If he didn't want her sitting there, he would have said something.

Nyoko tried not to grimace too much as she sat on the rock, it was sloped and uncomfortable to sit on even when she wasn't pregnant. "Are you upset with me because I'm with Toji again?"

Megumi shrugged.

"It's okay if you are. I know I said one thing, then did another. It was wrong of me and I'm sorry. But I'm not sorry for loving your father. He isn't the best man, but he also isn't the worst."
