Mortals Can't Love Me (Toshiko x Reader story)

(1) A ride on a star

TW: Cursing

Picking at my food, I felt really uneasy and felt as if I didn't want to eat. But my stomach said otherwise.

Though, every time I looked at my food, it just felt so unappetizing to me for some reason, so why even eat it if it's not gonna taste good?

I steadily got off my chair, not letting my hunger take over me.

I then slowly waddled over to my room upstairs, clutching my abdomen every time I took a step.

It's fine, Y/N. Just a few more steps to go and then you'll have a nice, relaxing sleep.

That's what I kept motivating myself with, but the closer I got to my door, my vision started to get a bit blurry. I quickly rubbed my eyes with a fist in my hands, quickly looking back over to my door which looked like a warped mess.

No, no! So close!

I limped the rest of the steps, almost stumbling over, though the knob saved me.

Yet, so far.

I carefully fiddled with the doorknob, causing it to open up and reveal my messy bedroom with plastered posters all over the walls.

Yes, yes! Maybe I might be able to actually make it!

I sighed and mustered up all my energy and strength, before quickly jumping onto my bed in a swift movement, and flopping down onto it, gripping onto my bedsheets as I crawled my way over to my pillows. I lied down on them, nuzzling my face into their fluff.

So relaxing.

So happy.

So hungry.

I gripped my stomach again, panting while shutting my eyes tight.

I really did want food, but I had none of my energy left to at least go back down in the kitchen.

I circled up into a ball of pain, mumbling inaudible things.

It was so painful.

Though, within moments of pain and relaxation, I fell asleep luckily.

It wasn't exactly the best sleep I ever had, but at least I did get it.

The next morning came along, and I slowly opened up my left crusty eye.

My stomach didn't feel as bad as before, in fact, I didn't even feel hungry. So that was good.

I opened up my other bad-looking eyes, groaning as the sunlight quickly reached my sight.

It nearly blinded me, though I had already covered both my eyes so I wouldn't have any further damage.

White, was all I saw, then purple, and black, then back to my normal room.

I shuddered and realized I hadn't put on a blanket.

Though I was already fully up, and that didn't matter anymore.

While slightly trembling, I sat up on my bed, making sure to reach to my toes just for an early morning stretch.

Then, I carefully stood up on my two feet on my hardwood floors.

Which, were luckily covered by a fluffy rug, so I didn't mind that.

I then got fresh in the bathroom, and thoroughly brushed my hair though gave up after I found way too many tangles hidden inside.

After that, I didn't know if I should eat breakfast or not, but decided to act as a 'responsible adult' so I wouldn't get my ass beaten by my parents.
