Torn

Insult Competition

Warning!!! They're are some really offensive insults!!!! I actually felt hurt by reading a few!!!! So!!!! Warning!!!!

Y/N POV

After Tokoyami and I got everything settled for Chi (and my face cooled down a bit), Tokoyami went to his room and I stayed in mine so we could get ready for the night. When we were both finished, we met at the elevator and entered the elevator.

"Hey, Y/N," Tokoyami says, getting my attention.

"Hm?" I hum, turning my head towards him.

"Why...What...*clears throat* It's alright if you don't want to answer this. I'm just...I'd just like to know...I'm curious. You normally wear a black choker so it hides most of your neck...but when you change into your sleepwear, you take off the choker. Why...what...how did you get the scars on your neck?" Tokoyami asks, his voice full of genuine concern.

I flinch.

I look down at the floor. I start to twiddle my thumbs and pay attention to that.

I... think I should tell him...although...this is something even Momo doesn't know...Touya knows...but...I don't know...Tokoyami would think of me differently...but...it's better that he knows the truth so he can have the correct opinion about me...

I take a deep breath and quietly explain, stumbling on my words a few times,
"The scars on my neck...are...are...from a...failed...attempt...the attempt..."

I fail to finish my response.

Tokoyami seems to realize though.

"Y/N did...did you try to take your own life?" Tokoyami whispers, concern and fear in his tone.

His eyes has evident worry and fear.

Tokoyami reaches out to touch my shoulder. I flinch but quickly turn and give him a reassuring hug. I mumble into his chest,
"Don't worry...it's been a long time since I've done that. I have many scars but not all of them are from that..."

Tokoyami rubs my back up and down, he still seems uneasy. He whispers,
"It's concerning that you have many other scars...it must have hurt..."

"They're from experiments...and abuse...and stuff..." I mumble back a reply.

I look and notice we never hit the elevator button to go down to the common are.

"I'm a f##king idiot..." I mumble, pushing away from Tokoyami's embrace.

I hit the button to go down to the first floor. We reach the common area.

"Y/N! Tokoyami! Wonderful! We're all here! We were talking and we came up with a fun idea!" Ashido greets us as we exit the elevator.

"What is it?" I ask, suspiciously squinting at her.

"It's...an insult competition!" Ashido announces.

"What a wonderful way to get punched," I comment in a sarcastically cheerful voice.

"Yep! And we decided you should be one of the two to go first!" Ashido exclaims, pointing to me.

"Why...?" I ask.

"Because! No one else wanted to go first!" Ashido and Hagakure reply, pushing me to the couch.

"What if I don't want to?" I ask.

"If anyone doesn't do the competition...and actually try!...we will destroy all their stuff!" Ashido and Hagakure announce evilly.

"What if you both don't do it?" I ask.

"Then you all can destroy our stuff!" Hagakure and Ashido reply.
