Because I Love You (All Might/Toshinori Yagi x Reader)

Because I Love You

It's Friday today.

Fridays are usually known for being days to let loose and party. To forget about your worries and hang out with friends. Go to the movies, go for drinks, the works.

But today, you feel especially shitty. Like you just want the world to burn and take you with it. Why am I feeling this way? You think to yourself. I just woke up, how can I be feeling this miserable already? You sit up in your large bed, noticing that Toshinori is not next to you.

"I guess he's already at work," you think out loud, looking at the clock. 9:30 AM. Yeah, that's about right. You contemplate leaving the bed but you can't bring yourself to make your legs work. I don't wanna.. You squeeze your eyes shut and a tear slips out. I don't wanna. But I have to. You lay in bed staring at nothing for the next 20 minutes, when the phone on the bedside table rings. You let it ring twice before answering it, not bothering to feign a normal voice.

"Hello?" You almost mumble.

"Good morning, (your nickname)" you hear your beloved's voice on the phone. Ugh, he's calling me by that stupid name again. You try to shake your negative thoughts away.

"Hey, good morning."

"I was just calling to check up on you, did I wake you?" Toshinori asked.

"No, I've been awake for about half an hour," you reply flatly. There's a small silence.

"Y/N are you ok? What's the matter sweetheart?" He asks in a low voice, sounding concerned. Tears well up in both eyes this time, and begin to spill down your face. But you keep your voice the same, you don't want him to suspect too much.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a little meh right now. You know how it is." You feel the need to sniffle, and you can't resist it anymore. You hold the phone away from you and sniffle under the blanket, hoping he doesn't hear it. Bringing the phone back to your ear, you ask him about work. The conversation runs a little dry, and you tell him you need to go shower. After hanging up, you let the phone drop from your hand onto the bed and you begin to sob.

Why am I feeling so sad right now? I was happy last night, we were doing puzzles and.. we were having fun.. so why? What's doing this to me? I don't get it. You sit up in your bed and rub your eyes, tears going everywhere.

"Dammit." You slowly climb out of bed and meander to the bathroom. You look at yourself in the mirror and grumble. You look like shit. How does he even love you? He thinks HE looks bad, wait till he sees this mess. You shake your head and turn on the shower. Once it gets hot enough you take off your clothes and step in, letting the water hit your face. After a minute of just standing there, you begin to cry again. I just feel so, empty and... lost. You sit down on the ground and hug your knees to your chest, letting the water hit your shoulders and back. You stay that way for what seems like an eternity, but then the water starts to run cold.

"Shit!" You scramble out of the way of the stream of cold water and turn it off. Dripping wet and freezing cold, you sit there and scold yourself for spacing out. You stand up and fetch a towel off a nearby rack and wrap yourself up. I didn't even really shower, but whatever. You leave the bathroom and go to your closet, and dry yourself off before getting dressed in a pair of Toshinori's navy blue sweats, and his black t-shirt. You pull your messy hair up into a bun and let it sit there on top of your head, then you pull on some socks and go downstairs.

You make yourself a mug of coffee, but right after you pour it you realize you don't have any cream left.

"Dammit." You groan, and pull out the milk. "I wanted my vanilla cream." You pour a dash of milk into your coffee and glare at it, as it doesn't have quite the same colour as the cream. You roll your eyes and retrieve the sugar, dropping in a teaspoon of it. You taste the coffee but it burns your tongue.
