Love Game (Toji Fushiguro x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 19 : Love

"Good morning, Beautiful." Suguru greets you, propped up on one elbow, looking down at you with a soft smile. The blanket covers you both, but you can still feel the heat of his body next to yours.

You stretch, your body still sore from the previous night's activities. "Morning." you murmur, returning his smile.

He leans down, pressing a soft kiss to your lips. "How did you sleep?" he asks, his hand gently caressing your cheek.

"Like a baby." you admit, snuggling closer to him. "What about you?"

"Better than I have in a long time." he confesses, wrapping his arms around you. 

"By the way, do you have work today?" Suguru asks, glancing at the clock on the bedside table.

You blink, trying to focus on the time. "Yes, I do. Why?" you respond, still groggy.

"It's almost eight. You should probably get dressed." he says, his brow furrowing in concern.

You bolt upright in bed, your eyes widening in panic. "What? Already? Shit, I'm going to be late!" you exclaim, scrambling out of bed and rushing to the bathroom.

After a few minutes, you realize something and call out to Suguru. "Uh, Suguru? I don't have any clean clothes here. I can't go to work like this."

There's a pause before Suguru responds, "Oh, right. Well, how about I give you a ride home? That way you can change and I can make sure you get to work on time."

You emerge from the bathroom, wearing Suguru's shirt and your dirty jeans from the night before. "I'm just going to grab a cab back home." you say, avoiding eye contact with him. "But could I borrow your shirt? I can wash it and return it later, or maybe tomorrow?"

Suguru looks taken aback, but he nods nonetheless. "Oh, okay...Are you sure you don't want me to take you home? I don't mind."

"No, really, it's fine," you insist, grabbing your phone.

Before leaving, you turn to Suguru, giving him a tight hug and a quick kiss on the lips. "Thank you for last night, it was amazing," you whisper, smiling at him. "I'll call you later, okay?"

"Alright, alright. I'll be waiting  your call, then." Suguru chuckles. "But hey, before you go, can I at least get a proper goodbye kiss?" He leans in, capturing your lips in a passionate, lingering kiss. When he pulls away, he smirks. "Now that's what I call a goodbye."

You step out of the hotel lobby, the bright sunlight momentarily blinding you. As you adjust your eyes, you remember to check your phone, which has been silent all night.

As soon as the screen lights up, you're greeted with a flurry of notifications - 56 missed calls, all from Toji. You cursed under your breath, realizing you'd completely forgotten to let him know you wouldn't be coming home last night.

You quickly dial his number, bringing the phone to your ear but he didn't answer.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" you curse under your breath, pacing outside the pharmacy. "Why did I even forget about it?!"

You take a deep breath, trying to calm yourself down. "It's not like he's my boyfriend or anything." you reason with yourself. "He doesn't need to know my every move."

But the guilt of making him wait lingers, and it's gnawing at you. You shake your head, determined not to dwell on it. "I'll apologize later. Right now, I need to take care of this."

You push open the door to the pharmacy, the bell chiming overhead. The pharmacist behind the counter glances up, giving you a nod of acknowledgment. You walk over, keeping your head down, and mumbled "I need a morning-after pill."
