Alcohol Spills [BYAKUYA TOGAMI X READER]

21

Byakuya's POV

I wake up and my vision is blurry. But of course, I'm not stupid enough to realise I'm not in my own dorm room. I lift my chin in order to turn around to realise I have been resting on something. I attempt to focus my eyes and try to find my glasses. I reach for the bedside table and graze my hand against my glasses. I take them and place them on my head. I look down at myself to see I'm wearing my regular clothes and not my nightwear. But then I peer and see that extra door. The door certainly nobody has. I fell asleep in {y/n}'s room?!

I sit myself up in her bed, flabbergasted. What time even is it? I'm sure it was just a nap and it's still nighttime. She won't be waking up anytime soon. So she won't catch me trying to leave.

I stand up from the bed quietly and carefully. I wouldn't want to wake her. As I walk through her room, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I wouldn't have this much of a bedhead if I only had a nap. 

As I'm about to approach the main door to leave, I peer over at the camera room. I know she told me not to go in there but I'm curious. I hesitantly stray away from my path and towards the camera room door.

As soon as I'm about to open the door-

DING DONG BING BONG

Shit-!

"Good morning, everyone! It is now 7 a.m. and nighttime is officially over! Time to rise and shine! Get ready to greet another beee-yutiful day!"

It was only just the morning announcement. I'm sure It wouldn't have woken her up. She sleeps in usually all the time anyway. That's why she's never at the morning meetings.

I finally push down the handle and open the door. The door swings open in silence. I'm greeted with a dark room filled with bright blue light from the various different monitors. There was a small laptop under the web of monitors displaying dates on different tabs. Some were starred, presumably those that may have featured murder. But what was more disturbing of all was the pinboard in the corner of the room with countless post-it notes. It was eerie to say. It makes me doubt {y/n}'s true willingness in this game.

"I AM THE MASTERMIND" was scribbled on countless post-it notes amongst completely blank ones. 

I looked back at the laptop itself to notice it was dusted over, as if she hadn't touched it in a while. I lean over towards the computer and scroll up to look for her hospital footage. I click on what I believe is the correct file and it plays on the main middle monitor. 

The footage starts at what I think is midnight. I skip forward. I pause at about 1 pm. Well, that's what the camera footage is saying the time is. I see myself sat on the chair beside her bed, looking down at the floor. I watch vigilantly, waiting to pause at the right moment. 

Quick. I pause. I stare up at the image. I'm hunched over the bed, giving her a kiss on the forehead. Thank God she won't see this.

I highlight the timeline and press backspace, deleting that moment of time. I don't want her to see that. She can't think I've gone slightly soft.

I peer out from behind the door to see if it's safe to leave. Surely enough {y/n} was fast asleep, unphased by the morning announcement a few minutes ago.

I leave the camera room and quietly close the door. 

She looks peaceful when asleep. It's almost the only time she's capable of that though. I approach her silently and just glance at her. It's difficult to know what to do besides just stare. I've never had much experience, especially with a bratty girl who would never give me a break for trying something. I place a hand down on her cheek and brush her stray hairs away. 

The way she too is in her regular clothes hints to me she fell asleep shortly after I did. 

Her skin is soft, and her lack of reaction is telling that she is well and truly and deep sleeper. Now that I have come to this conclusion, I lean down and plant a kiss on her cheek before lifting my head back up again and finally backing away. I don't know if what I'm doing is right. But it feels right.

I head towards her door and leave her dorm, gently allowing the door to click behind me. 

I jump at the sight of Monokuma standing right in front of me.

"You do know that'll be in the cameras right?"

I freeze.

"What would be on the cameras?"
"I'm not daft Togami. If I'm hooked up to her tech I can see the cameras too! I saw what you did."
"You won't say anything?"

I have my hand on the handle. Not like it can do much. The door would've locked itself by now so it's not like I can go back in there.

"Well.. I don't know. You broke her promise."
"Wha-? What promise?"

"You said you wouldn't go into the camera room."

"I don't remember agreeing to that. She just got all pissed at me and told me not to go. I didn't say I wouldn't."
"Why are you so desperate to hide your feelings for her?"
"Tch what feelings?"

"I told you I'm not daft Togami."
"They aren't feeling feelings. She just... she's been through it. I suppose I felt bad for her."
"Do you want to know if she likes you back?"

I can't lie and say I'm not curious. But I don't trust this bear. If I'm not brave enough to humiliate myself for her, I sure as hell aren't going to let the bear do it for me.

"I don't care. You can tell me or not, I suppose."
"Hm not interested huh. Very well. See you around Togami."
I'm not sure if I should've dismissed Monokuma's offer. Now I really want to know. But I shouldn't think about it too much. Unless I tell her, there's no way this can move along.
