Call of Silence-(All Might/ Toshinori Yagi) Book 2

16

Maybe you should have pushed him away but you didn't and instead, closed your eyes tightly at the thought of All for One's proposition.

Toshinori wasn't going to let us out of his sight even if I took All for One's offer in a way to protect Serah but if I didn't take it, then what would happen with Serah.

One thing you knew about All for One is his ability to steal people's Quirks and renders them his own and remembering the fact that he can even combine his stolen Quirks to create novel attacks with devastating effects.

Factors that you need to consider, and yet...

You looked towards Toshinori and Serah on the couch asleep. Toshinori held her in his arms in a protective manner. The lines of care and toil had smoothed and virtually disappeared, the crows feet round Toshinori's eyes now but a memory. Both of their eyelids closed against the dim light of dawn and both of them were breathing deep and relaxed, all the muscles in her face and body were totally at peace.

The innocence showed on the sleeping face, the peaceful and serene dreams blocking out the dangers of the outside. The soft breathing making the world seems to stand still.

You walked over to him and removed Serah from his grasp and brought her to her room to lay down in her bed. You knew she had been through so much with your disappearance.

You pushed her hair back behind her ears as she slept.

"You know she has your nose..."

You turned your head towards Toshinori as he leaned against the door frame and looked at the scene before him. You smiled and turned your attention back towards her, worry plaguing you.

"She maybe have something of me but she does act a whole lot like you back in your younger days," you complimented back.

"I guess," Toshinori chuckled while scratching his head a bit embarrassed that she was kind of like a daddy's girl.

"Don't you have to head out and get ready for your class tomorrow?" you questioned, "I wouldn't want to keep you here if that is the case."

"A-Actually, I was wondering if I can spend the night here tonight with you," Toshinori asked with a huge blush on his face, "I-I mean...I kinda like spending time with you like the old days and i-it's less lonely for me."

You smiled at his embarrassed state while he continued to ramble on about how he likes spending time with you and how he enjoyed having you sleep in the same bed as him.

"You can stop now," you said chuckling, "You can stay the night if you like, I'm pretty sure I may have some of your old clothing in a box in a closet."

P A S T

You stared wide-eyed at your closet and had to resist wanting to poke your fingers together. Your fourth date with Toshinori was in half an hour and you were in no way prepared. You carefully took in deep breaths to herd off the panic as you began to feel light headed. You flinched as you door clicked open. Chizome stared at your frozen figure before he rolled his eyes. He strode up to the closet, reached in and pulled out a simple modest blue dress and shoved the hangar into your hands. He then told you to put it on.

You stood flustered for a second at the fact that your little brother just commanded you to do something before changing. He shoved a brush into your hands and moved over your drawer and pulled out some simple makeup. He walked back over to where you were running the brush through your blossom tinted pink hair and gave a teasing grin when he saw the clock. He told you to just put on some mascara and lip-gloss as he handed over the materials. You thanked him for looking relieved before putting the makeup on. Then noticing that it was already 6:31.
