"Easy now," Kacchan cooed in my ear and I tried to turn over but found that I wasn't in bed. Why? Just why? My head hurts, my muscles hurt, my everything hurts. Can I actually feel my toes complaining? Yes, yes I can. Why?
"Why~" I whined, my voice cracking told me exactly how I fell asleep. Dang it. I fell asleep sobbing, or more accurately having a melt down. I really thought I was getting better. Panicking less and taking control and whatever else the school counselor was saying. Honestly it felt like they were just tormenting me for fun most days. I still kind of do.
"It's okay Izu. It's okay. Are you still feeling overwhelmed?" Kacchan's voice breathed in my ear and I could feel my face grow hot. Well I wasn't until I realized who it was I was laying on! Is he going to kill me now? What did I do to deserve this?
A chuckle sounded in my ear, "I'm not going to kill you. Hey, open your eyes, let me see those green gems." He teased and I felt my chin being lifted upwards. I forced my eyes open and sure enough I could see red, the frozen fire that sparkled the most when he was-. No, I've never seen these gentle fires before. It was like I was basking in his warmth, the way they looked at me so nicely.
"Kacchan?" My voice croaked but he chuckled and I felt his warmth all around me.
"It's okay, sorry I thought the blanket might help calm you down. Is it bothering you?" He asked when I struggled a little but I relaxed back into the warmth instead and shook my head no. I was only trying to look around but his eyes were so pretty.
"Do you want to just look into my eyes?" He teased me. Dang it! My crappy muttering! "Oh no you don't. It's the cutest sound in the world, well right after your laugh anyway." Oh he is laying it on thick.
"So you still don't believe me? Your eyes still look at me like, oh there he goes again," he chuckled when I started to panic. "Come here," I felt him wrap his arms around me and the blanket, he lifted me up so that he only had to lean his forehead down to meet mine.
"I'm not going anywhere until you WANT me to. If that means we spend all day sleeping on the couch like this, then fine, someone will bring us drinks. If that means you want to curl up in bed and forget the world exists then great, I'll have snacks sent up maybe pop in a movie," he smiled and nudged the tip of his nose against mine before backing away for me to be comfortable again. "If that means all you want to do is look at my eyes then okay. That just means I get to see yours too." I feel like my face is on fire! How can he say something so, so, so. SWEET? And cute!
"Hmmm, no answer. Maybe I should check for a fever again?" He smirked but when I just looked at him confused he set his forehead against mine again. "That settles it, fever." He looks pleased with himself and in the next moment he was standing up and I was trying to flail like a fish but I was too wrapped up in the blanket to get very far or really do much of anything at all.
"Looks like I get to take care of you all day," he flashed me a bright smile and I stopped panicking. You know what? Maybe I shouldn't think too much about any of this? Would simply enjoying this for a few hours really be that bad? His smile is just so… Pretty? No that's not the word. Wondrous? No. Beautiful, of course but still not right. Enchanting? Yes.
"Is that what you want?" I asked almost silently but he had stopped when he heard my voice and he smiled back down at me in his arms.
"More than anything else in the world," he answered. Yes, enchanting. Kacchan is the most beautiful, captivating and enchanting man in the world.
"Okay," I whispered and he gave me a warm smile. Me! At least for now, so long as he wants to do this, I won't fight it anymore. He carried me for a long time. I heard other people's voices but he didn't seem to actually care about any of that. I even heard some calling out his name but the one or two that he actually looked up at he simply shook his head or rolled his eyes but he didn't stop.
He carried me outside but again, he didn't seem to care. I heard someone yell out for him to stop but he rolled his eyes and shook his head as if he were far too used to it. By the time he was carrying me inside again it was silent, well except for his humming. When he set me down on another couch I looked around to see that we seemed to be in a living room of some kind there was a large TV but it looked like a large open space otherwise.
"I'm going to make some cocoa and spicy shrimp scampi, maybe some cheesecake?" He grinned at me but I could only stare. "Okay no to the cheesecake then, how about an All Might movie marathon?" I sat up straight and he laughed before kissing my forehead again. "Looks like a plan then." After he turned a corner I slowly stood up and looked around the strange living room, this space was huge! After a few minutes I finally peeked into the kitchen that the doorway Kacchan disappeared through turned out to be and found him adding cinnamon to some marshmallow fluff. He saw me and waved me inside before setting a mug at the counter for me.
He then LET me watch him cook. My questions must have aggravated him as they usually do but instead he would just laugh and answer anyway. Making small talk while he cooked for us and then led the way back into the other room again. The TV was turned on and we ate together, it was perfect.
Can everyday be like this? Pretty please?
