I Hate That I Love You || Todoroki x OC [Discontinued]

Chapter Nineteen- Partners in Crime

I groggily opened my eyes then closed them. I snuggled further into the blankets and rolled to the other side, accidentally nudging something. I paid no attention to whatever it was because, frankly, that is not my problem. I just had the best sleep I've had in a long time and I wanted it to last for as long as possible.

I squeezed my eyes shut and begged and begged for sleep to come back to me, but alas my weird internal body alarm clock woke me up and I can never go back to sleep after.

"Ugh, do I have to get up? Nah, I'll just stay in bed that was such a great sleep! Not a single nightmare, this bed must be lucky!" I mumbled to myself, unaware that I'm not actually alone in the room.

I heard the 'snap' of a camera shutter and immediately shot up, but then slouched back down when I felt a wave of dizziness hit me. Man, I have got to stop doing that.

I blink a few times, waiting for my eyes to adjust to the bright light of the hospital room. Eventually, I slowly sit up to see Izaya scrolling through a bunch of pictures on a camera I never knew he had.

Que?

No, no, no, no, no.

I shifted over but then I kicked something. More specifically, someone.

Now hold up, I know what you're thinking, but it isn't like that. To be honest, there was one problem: I didn't know what the heck was happening.

Todoroki was sat on the floor with his head resting on the hospital bed. He had a blanket over him and his very own pillow. Jeez, they're spoiling him.

I didn't know what to do, what to say, how I should act because honestly, I was freaking the hell out and I could hear Izaya snapping some more photos.

It was like my brain hadn't caught up with what my body was doing.

I patted his head.

He woke up.

Someone please help me.

~~~

Currently, I was hugging my knees which the blanket draped over my body. I was trying to hide from the world because apparently, right after I wake up, all logic flies out the window. I just patted a guy's head, but keep in mind the fact that I don't know him at all and I could vaguely remember babbling something to him yesterday while I was high on drugs. Great.

Meanwhile, I was glaring at Izaya from inside the room. He was outside talking to a doctor and, for some reason Todoroki was with him too. Why?

Why was he still here? Maybe he was using this as an excuse not to go home?

Yeah, that has to be it.

They both came back in and I began eying the camera around Izaya's neck and he raised his hands up to defend himself. "I can explain."

He looked at the image on the screen and chuckled. Todoroki's head popped up behind him and I could see a ghost of a smile on his face.

"What? Whatever you're both laughing at you better delete it right now."

"As your caretaker, it's my duty to document any changes."

I was still curled up in a ball in the bed and had the blankets wrapped all over my body, leaving only a gap for my head. How else was I supposed to hide my embarrassment for randomly patting a dude's head? Explain to him that I wasn't thinking clearly and tell him I'm sorry like any other person would do? Ha, no.

I should run away and hide from my problems.

Oh my, when Akki finds out about all of this he is not going to be very happy.
