Chapter 15 - Here For You

Beep Beep!

You grunted as your eyes flickered open.

You took a quick shower and changed into your uniform.

After putting all your notebooks and textbooks into your backpack you went down the stairs.

"Morning, dad~!" you greeted. "Dad?"

But there was no response.

"That's weird..." you thought to yourself.

You looked at the empty dining table. Your dad's usual coffee mug wasn't sitting ontop of the polished table.

And your dad wasn't reading the newspaper on the couch.

Panic rushed through you and cold sweat started to appear on your forehead.

"Dad?" you called out again.

You rushed back up the stairs and to your father's bedroom door.

You knocked but there was no response.

You slowly opened the old white door.

"Dad?"

"Where is she?" Naegi asked worriedly.

"I don't know.. I tried texting her but she won't answer!" Sayaka said.

"She's never late.." Togami said.

"Maybe she forgot to set the alarm?" Asahina asked.

"Good morning class" the voice of Monokuma appeared.

Sayaka and Asahina walked quickly to their seats.

"I have some news for all of you today, [your name] won't be attending school today. She called to inform me, earlier this morning. But she won't say why" Monokuma sighed.

Sayaka and Asahina sent each other worried glances.

"Could anyone go to her house after school and--"

Before Monokuma could finish, Togami stood up from his seat.

"Sensei, I'll do it" he said.

"Okay then, before you go home I'll give you [your name]'s homework" Monokuma said and motioned for Togami to sit back down.

Knock Knock

Togami tapped his foot impatiently.

"Come on, [your name].." he muttered.

After a few moments you opened the door.

"Byakuya? What are you doing here?" you sniffed with a small laugh.

"I.. came to give you homework" he said and handed you the sheets of paper.

"Thanks" you said, your voice breaking.

Togami looked at you worriedly.

"[your name] are you okay?" he asked.

Without thinking you hugged Togami and cried in his arms.

"I'm scared, Byakuya" you sobbed.

"Why?"

"Dad's... Dad's sick" you sniffed.

You pulled away and wiped the tears streaming down your cheeks.

"What?! Is he okay?!"

"He--He won't get out of bed" you said. "Byakuya, what if this is serious? What if--what if he.. What if he ends up like--"

Togami wiped your cheeks with his thumb.

"He won't end up like your mom, [your name]-chan. Now where's your dad?"

"He's upstairs" you sniffed.

Togami held your hand as you led him up the stairs and to your father's room.

"He's sleeping, so be quiet" you said.

Togami gently placed his hand on your father's forehead and sighed.

"Is--Is it bad..?" you asked and started to sob again.

"Don't cry, [your name]-chan" he said and came closer to you. "It's just a fever"

"So he's gonna be okay?" you asked.

"Of course he'll be okay" Togami chuckled. "You worry too much"

You sat down on the chair next to your father's bed and covered your face in your hands. You started to cry again.

"[your name]-chan, what's wrong?" he sighed and knelt beside you.

"I'm scared" you said and chuckled.

"Why? I told you he's going to be perfectly fine, so don't worry"

"The last time I was this scared" you started. "I lost my mom 3 days later, now I'm scared to lose my dad. He doesn't get sick often, so I get worried when he does"

"[your name]-chan, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when your mother--passed away" he said and kissed your cheek. "But now I am, I'm here for you [your name]"

"Are you always this cheesy?" you teased.

"You ruined the moment, baka" he chuckled.

"Will you help me with my homework?"

"It's gonna cost you" he said with a mischievous smile.

"What?"

He tapped his right cheek.

You knew what he meant, but you decided to play around with him.

You lightly slapped his right cheek.

"Hey, that's not what I meant" he said annoyed.

"Then what exactly did you mean?" you teased.

Without warning he kissed your right cheek and you blushed bright red.

"E-Eh.. Byakuya!" you blushed.

"That's what I meant, now come on, let's do your homework" he stood up and started to walk out.

You followed him, your cheeks still burning crimson red.
