Is he serious? I thought he knew how much I love-

Loved...

How much I loved Tobio. He  quirks an eyebrow at me. I pull a pillow over my face.

"Go jump off a bridge" I tell him.

He giggles.

"You first" I pull the pillow off my face to look at him.

I appreciate Toru. He really gets it, he doesn't try to make me feel better, just treats me like normal. It's because he has no filter. I chuckle.

"Don't tempt me," I reply.

He snorts and pokes my stomach. I scoff.

"Agh! FUCK OFF DUMBASS" I shout at him.

He cackles, curling in on himself and wiping tears away.

"Ohhh Shoyo, you're such a hoot" He jokes.

I roll my eyes.

I sit up, then wince as pain laces my leg. His eyebrows shoot up. Then they furrow.

"Hinata, I thought we recovered from this" He scolds.

I chew my lip. He smiles and pats my shoulder. He knows that it was Tobio who helped me last time.

"Guess we'll have to do it again." He shrugs.

He puffs out air as he climbs off the bed. He picks up my phone, puts in the code, then I hear the clicking of text keys.

"What are you doing?" I panic.

He glances up at me with a 'Wtf U think Stupid Ass' look.

"NO!" I scream. 

The bloop of a sent text sounds. He smiles at me with an innocent look.

"I texted your ex" He says.

I glare at him and snatch my phone.

🟠: You are a selfish son of a bitch, you know? 

I gasp.

"Oh, no! Toruuuu, whyyyy??" I whine.

"Because who would leave a shawty like you? He must be mentally unstable." He replies simply.

I quickly type.

🟠: Shit, I'm sorry. That was Toru. He's an asshole. I won't bother you anymore.


"Aw, don't apologize! It's the truth!" He complains.

I try to convey the seriousness;

"No, Toru. He tried to apologize, but I rejected him. Because I was selfish, not him."

I avoid looking at him. He grabs my jaw and forces me to look at him.

"You are not selfish. You are sweet, pretty, caring, need I go on?" He takes on an unfamiliar intensity.

I shake my head.

"No. I suck. But thank you." I mumble.

He sighs and pulls me into a hug. I nuzzle into his chest; I've always loved Toru's smell. Like Cherry chapstick and new books.

My phone dings. I pull away to grab It. I hear Toru huff, but he lets me go.

👑: I know he is...

👑: U ok

I feel some hope , shooting a quick reply.

🟠: Yes, but no. Yk?

👑: Sure. Can I...

 👑:  come over..?

My breath pauses. I feel Toru tense behind me.

"Should I go, then?" He asks. 

I consider it. I know something will happen If Tobio comes over. It always does, now. However I am really enjoying my time with Toru.

"No, stay! One sec." He relaxes and lays back.


🟠: Come over tomorrow after practice. I have to stay in bed. 

🟠: We can talk?

...

I wait a few minutes.

Toru puts on some American show, somthing with a sponge who lives with a squirrel under the sea?


👑: Okay. See you then.


I smile. Feeling a bit better, I snuggle up to Toru. He buries his face in my hair, but I'm used to it. Everyone does this; apparently It's a calming smell.

We fall asleep.
