Love Game (Toji Fushiguro x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 23 : Forgiveness

[Morning]

Toji blinked his eyes open, and looked down to find you still nestled in his arms, your head resting on his chest. A soft smile played on his lips as he realized you were still hugging him, your leg thrown over his, your breath coming out in soft puffs against his skin.

He couldn't help but feel a warmth spread through him at the sight. He gently brushed a strand of hair away from your face, his thumb tracing the curve of your cheek. You let out a soft murmur in your sleep, nuzzling closer to him, making his heart skip a beat.

Concerned, he reached up to place the back of his hand against your forehead, checking your temperature. Relief washed over him as he found it cool to the touch. Your fever was finally gone.

He was lost in thought, when suddenly his gaze drifted downward, and he caught a glimpse of the curve of your breast peeking out from the collar of your pajama top. Memories of last night flooded back, and he felt a familiar stirring in his pants. "Fuck, not again." he muttered, trying to shift discreetly to ease the pressure.

But then, you chose that exact moment to nuzzle even more closer, your breath hot on his neck. Toji's body stiffened, and he let out a strangled noise, trying desperately to hold back a groan. "Jesus Christ, woman." he muttered, his voice strained. "You're like a damn cat, aren't ya? Always seeking out the warmest spot, regardless of the consequences." he grumbled, trying to maintain his composure. "You're killing me here. I'm gonna have to go jerk off in the bathroom after this."

Toji was just about to give in to his urges and sneak off to the bathroom when the sudden, shrill sound of your phone's alarm pierced the air, jarring him out of his internal struggle.

The alarm made your eyes snapped open, and you found yourself in a compromising position - wrapped around Toji like an octopus, your leg thrown over his, and your head resting on his chest. You let out a yelp, jumping back like you'd been electrocuted, and landed on the floor with a thud.

"Ow, fuck!" you exclaimed, rubbing your ass. Toji looked down at you, a mix of confusion and amusement on his face.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked, suppressing a laugh.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" you insisted, scrambling to your feet and brushing yourself off. "I, uh, I must've been really out of it last night. I didn't mean to...to do that." you gestured vaguely between the two of you, your cheeks flaming. "My fever must've made me delirious. I was probably just looking for a heating pad, and you were the closest thing to one." you said, trying to play it off as a joke.

Toji raised an eyebrow, "A heating pad, huh? Well, I guess I should be honored to have been mistaken for one." he smirked, sitting up and stretching.

You rolled your eyes, grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him. "Shut up, Toji. You know what I meant." you grumbled, trying to hide your embarrassment.

Toji caught the pillow mid-air, laughing. "Alright, alright, no need to get violent." he teased, tossing the pillow back onto the bed. "By the way, what do you want for breakfast?" he asked, staring at you.

You hummed, your gaze drifting away from him as you tried to think. "Um...I'm not really in the mood for anything, to be honest." you replied, looking down at the floor. "I guess you can just get whatever you want, Toji. I'm not hungry." you added, trying to play it off.

Toji smirked, placing his hand on your chin. "Don't be coy. I'm sure you're faking it. You're just trying to be cute, aren't you? Just tell me what you want, I'll order it." he said, a teasing glint in his eyes.

You rolled your eyes, and pushed him away "Fine. Fine. Ramen. Ramen it is." you muttered, crossing your arms over your chest.

Toji chuckled, standing up and grabbing his wallet. "Ramen it is. I'll be back in a flash." he said, heading for the door.
