Fall away (p6)

Inumaki Toge x fém!reader

It had been two weeks since my first mission, and the stale taste of death still lingered in my mouth. No matter what I did, the remnants of that cursed spirit seemed to follow. My senses were heightened as well as my ability to sense cursed energy. I knew that absorbing the spirit would allow me to control it, as I had tamed it and could call on it at will like Fushiguro could his shikigami, but I was completely unaware of just how much I had also gained from said cursed spirit.

Gojo had never mentioned anything about possessing a spirits power after absorbing it, even if it goes without saying, there’s more to it than simply gaining its existence. That said, he may not have been aware of it himself; after all, it isn’t every day you meet a sorcerer who uses cursed spirit manipulation.

On a brighter note, after a long week of training and attempting to use my technique, Nobara thought it would be a good idea to take this Friday off. We all happily agreed, especially Megumi, who was tired of attempting to help me train.

Maki had suggested we go to this cafe she had been to a while back, none of us argued as she probably knew it better than any of us did. We all walked and chatted the entire way there. Panda and Maki were closer together, whispering about something I couldn’t quite understand. I heard a slap from beside me that peaked my interest.

“Is that all you think about, you pervert!” Nobara yelled at Yuji, who seemed to look a little taken aback by the slap to his face. Megumi looked like he was trying not to laugh beside him. I giggled.

“It’s not all I think about, usually I just don’t think at all! You should be proud!” Megumi shared a humorous glance with me before letting out the laughter he couldn’t contain any longer.

“At least you admitted you were an idiot this time.” He said, still laughing. Yuji scowled at him as Nobara started laughing as well. I even heard a low chuckle from Toge beside me. To this, a genuine smile appeared on my face.

Toge and I had grown together over the past few weeks. He trained with me day and night, always called me before he went to sleep if he didn’t simply show up at my door to say goodnight. He even went as far as sitting in my room with me until I could fall asleep a few times. I’d heard before that a persons kindness could only go so far, and now I was simply waiting to find the end of his, and praying i never found it. Though, I had to admit, I was left confused with our relationship. We were two friends who liked to hug each other and occasionally kiss each other when we felt it was needed, and that was about as far as it went. Neither of us bothered to try and unravel the ball of emotions we knew we felt for each other, and it was sort of calming. Though, I knew eventually we would have to take another step or step back into what we were before, and neither of us were confident enough to do so.

As if on cue with my thoughts, Inumaki reached for my hand. The breeze blew his hair gently, framing his pretty face perfectly. His violet eyes turned to meet my own green ones, he was absolutely stunning.

“Y/n, you’re drooling.” I heard Maki call cooly. She smirked at me as realization hit the others and they were thrown into a fit of giggles.

“Her face was priceless!” I heard Yuji cackle. Megumi jabbed him in the ribs with a small smile.

“At least she uses her brain, idiot.” I tried my best to stifle the laugh that tried to escape from my lips, failing utterly. Toge had an amused look in his eye, squeezing my hand gently before he turned back to talk with Yuta, who was also giggling along with our conversation.

The day was beautiful, it perfectly framed the occasion. Children were running around everywhere, parents and couples walking side by side. It was sort of like a movie. This was probably the first good memory of Tokyo that I really could call my own.

“Woah, Maki! Is that the cafe you were talking about?” Yuji pointed to the cute shop to the side of us as she nodded confidently. There was an outdoor area with a small pavilion over the top of it, small plants and vines seemed to sprout out of nowhere in an organized fashion. I was mesmerized.

Nobara immediately started gushing, rambling on about how perfect it was and just how lucky she was to have a friend like Maki, who in return seemed to blush furiously at the attention she had unintentionally called to herself.

Toge walked in beside me, sitting down at the outdoor area beside me as well. He didn’t let go of my hand as I expected him to, instead showing the rest of the group his vulnerable side. Maki and Panda continued to whisper to each other with small giggles. I sent Maki a concerned glance, to which she shrugged and continued to giggle with Panda.

Chaos ensued outside of the little cafe. We had loud outbursts and giggles that filled the entire pavilion, but no one seemed to mind. Yuji even flirted with the waitress openly, getting her phone number and astonishing all of us. He proudly puffed out his chest as we left the small area to head back to the dorms.

It was getting quite late, and the food that we had eaten had made us all exhausted. We all ate our weight, it was delicious.

Maki walked beside me for a little bit, gushing about the little cafe and how we all needed to come back the next chance we got. I completely agreed with her. I was happy with today.

We were walking through a quiet part of town, a residential area that I’m sure was full of sleeping children. I smiled at the thought of having a family to look after one day. As if on cue, Toge smiled at me. I wonder if I had accidentally given him my thoughts. I blushed furiously.

“I see you two are comfortable.” Maki smirked at me. I rolled my eyes, I was surprised no one had said anything earlier. Yuta walked beside her, sneakily holding onto her hand. She caught my gaze and quickly looked away, pulling her hand from Yuta.

I felt the world fall from beneath me, I let out a small gasp as it grew closer to me. I didn’t even realize what was happening until my face was inches from the ground. I let out a helpless squeak that I’m sure I’d find embarrassing later. I braced myself for impact, but it never came.

My head was spinning and my gaze was loose. I couldn’t focus on anything really. Was this death?

I looked up to see panda and Maki giggling to one another again before scowling at them. This was definitely planned. I then realized that I had actually never hit the ground, suddenly becoming aware of Toge’s arms wrapped around me. He scoffed quietly at the two in front of us.

“Are you alright?” He spoke quietly for me to hear. His voice was deep and smooth, my face heated from the sound of it. I nodded quickly, pulling myself from his embrace reluctantly.

His arm stayed around my waist for the rest of the walk home, his thumb tracing circles on my hip. It was oddly comforting to have his arm around me. I could feel his every emotion, his every breath beside me. I thought of that neighborhood we walked through earlier again, thinking of how calm it was and just how badly I wanted to settle down and start a family. Unintentionally, I was thinking about being with Toge. His comfort was everything to me, and so far, he was the only one who could calm me to this extend. I saw him as a father, as a partner, and I found myself falling harder for the man than I should have.

Toge would be a really great dad.

I saw him with two kids, a boy and a girl, playing in the yard with them. His eyes were full of love as he gazed upon the two running around with him. The only thing I wanted was this now.

“Salmon.” I heard from beside me. I tilted my head to the side, but he only shrugged.

The others were walking further ahead of us now, leaving us to ourselves. I was grateful for that, the teasing was starting to get a bit malicious, though I didn’t really mind. Sometimes it was just nice to be with Inumaki.

I smiled at him, one that he returned with a warm gaze. His mask was still unzipped from our incident earlier, and he didn’t make any moves to change that. I looked at his markings, seeing the seal of the Inumaki clan and gushing about how cute it was on his dimples. He flushed, looking away from me.

Part of me isn’t used to the fact that he can hear my every thought if I were to let him, mostly because he seems to be the only one I can do this with. In return, I felt his emotions stronger than I could anyone else’s, I saw his visions more vividly than I saw my own death in the black eyes of that curse he had tied to the floor all those weeks ago. I suppose I should be thankful for that curse, because if not for it I’m not sure either of us would’ve been confident enough to make a move on the other, or if I would have come to terms with it myself. My skin flushed once again. He must have seen what I was thinking about him being a dad. I mentally cursed myself.

We were closer to the gates now, I could see them in the distance. Toge’s arm tightened around me, showing me he was still there.

The others bid their good nights, seeing themselves back to their rooms. Toge led me to mine, his arm still curled around me. He didn’t stop at the door this time though, instead walking in and shutting it behind him. I smiled, sad that I was no longer in his embrace, but happy to know he didn’t plan on leaving yet. He immediately pulled out his phone and started typing. I couldn’t get a feel of his emotions anymore, either, which worried me slightly.

“Did you mean what you said?” His phone stated plainly. I tilted my head, not remembering what he was talking about.

“Huh?” He huffed, typing again. He was cute when he was pouty.

“I hope you’re aware than I could see the things you were imagining earlier. Did you mean that?” My face drained of all color, suddenly aware of what he was referring to. I nodded slowly as he smiled slightly.

“Y-yeah, Toge. I meant it.” There was no sense in hiding it anymore. “I think you’d be a great dad.”

His smile grew large, into a grin that worried me slightly before he tackled me in his embrace. He kissed my forehead gently, looking back down at me as he smiled.

Neither of us had realized the position that we were in until it was too late. I lay on the bed facing upwards to him, feeling every breath on my face as he lay on top of me. He didn’t bother moving, only collapsing on top of me with a chuckle.

“God Toge, you’re going to kill me.” He chuckled again, thinking to himself.

I guess you could say I took your breath away, huh?

I laughed out loud, pounding his chest with my fist and trying to free myself from our tangled position. In a battle of pure strength, he would beat me without batting an eye.

Thankfully, he took the hint and rolled over into his side, pouting slightly. I giggled and poked his dimple.

“You’re cute when you’re pouty.” His face flushed a tiny shade of pink, but he didn’t avert his gaze, only to type on his phone again.

“What are we?” His phone asked. The question took me off guard, I averted my gaze and stared into the intricate void of the ceiling above me.

“I don’t know, Toge. I’ve been meaning to ask you that.” He nodded, wrapping his arm around me as he lay on his back.

“Seeing as you think I would be a good husband, why don’t I be your boyfriend?” His phone sang. I felt my face heat aggressively as he stared into my eyes. His own violet ones becoming a sea of emotions. I felt his pace quicken with my own. Surprising myself, I smiled at him.

“I’ve never had a boyfriend.” His eyes widened.

“Really?” He asked out loud, not really meaning to talk. He scoffed at himself. I chuckled softly at the sound of his voice.

“Really,” I started, catching his gaze again. My chest filled with warmth as he gazed down at me. I could’ve stayed like this forever and never complain a single time. “I’d love to have you as my first, though. Just bear with me, I’m new to all of this.” His irises grew to the size of dinner plates. He grinned giddily and tackled me again, showing my face with little kisses as he did so. I giggled, doing my best to shove him off. I wasn’t used to this much affection, or really any at all.

“So that’s a yes, right?” He asked me eagerly, this time completely intending to speak. His voice was the song of the heavens above. I smiled at him.

“That’s a yes.” He showered me with kisses again, leaving me a giggling mess. I felt him smile into every single one of them until he got to my lips, eagerly kissing them with more passion that anyone could put into words. I pulled him closer, feeling the need to have his lips on my own. I smiled, feeling him smile too.

Both of his arms were around me now, cradling my head like his life depended on it. His body was crushed into my own, leaving me gasping for breath when we finally pulled away. He buried his face into my neck. I felt his warm breath on my skin, burning it everywhere he touched. I felt my heart quicken again, I felt my need grow into a happy pain in the pit of my stomach.

I willed myself not to cry, I forced every muscle to stiffen as Inumaki held me and loved me. I desperately tried to stop whatever was about to come, but to no avail.

He lifted his head, seeing me in a sobbing mess. His eyes were frantic, searching for any answer he could.

“I’m fine, I just got overwhelmed. Not by you, before you ask, I just don’t get attention like this. I don’t think I ever have. I can’t describe to you what it feels like to have it suddenly.” He nodded in understanding before pointing to my heart.

“You don’t have to tell me what’s going on in there, y/n.” He pointed to his own heart afterwards. “You forget, I can feel everything you do.” He coughed aggressively, I knew he had gone too far. I felt terrible. He sensed it, shaking his head violently, his hair swinging as he did so. I giggled at him as he wiped the tears from my face.

We stayed like this for a while, neither of us willing to move. We had found something tonight, something neither of us wanted to lose, something neither of us could afford to lose. If I lost Toge, I was now aware that I would lose a part of myself; and judging on his actions as I’m thinking this now, he’s become aware of the same feeling.

His head dropped to my neck again, kissing it sweetly before I heard soft snoring from beside me. Had he really fallen asleep like this?

I snuggled into his shoulder, feeling his warmth surround me as I closed my eyes. I kissed it gingerly, hoping to return the love I felt from him.

“Goodnight, pretty boy.” He stutter a little, coughing, before I heard his breath even and small snores again. I giggled before allowing the darkness to take over.

I was standing on my own, darkness encasing my surroundings so thick that I couldn’t see a damned thing. I cursed myself for not being smart enough to bring a flashlight.

My phone was dead, I could see anything, and I could feel the presence of someone’s eyes watching my every move. This was not an ideal predicament, but I suppose I had put myself in it and I’d have to take myself out.

I heard a chuckle from behind me. Terrified, I turned to find nothing but the residual of cursed energy. My skin crawled and my stomach churned relentlessly. Who was with me?

I was frozen as I looked forward, my heart racing as if I’d run a marathon. A man stood before me, his forehead stitched together to the rest of him. I went to scream, but nothing came out. His bangs were lopsided, his hair pulled back flawlessly. It was almost as if I were looking into a mirror. He had some of my features, my strong jaw, my pointed nose. The only difference was his brown eyes compared to my green. He bared his teeth in a malicious grin.

“So, you’re the one I heard Satoru talking about the other day.” He said. His voice was even, calm. I was about to panic.

“Who are you? Where am I?” I asked, but my voice came out hushed and meek. He laughed maniacally.

“I am you, and you are in my domain.” I heard him laugh again, but this time it was distant. I saw him moving away, my head spinning and my pace quickening further. I was done for, I knew nothing of what was to come.

I woke to the sound of Toge calling my name. He was shaking me softly, trying to wake me without ensuing a panic attack. His eyes softened when I met his gaze. He coughed violently. How long had he been trying to wake me?

He pulled me into his chest, cradling me gently. I melted into his touch, forcing the tears that threatened to fall once again to stay put, I had embarrassed myself enough tonight.

“I’m here, it’s okay.” His voice hoarse. His hands threaded through my hair as I pulled him closer, nodding.

I don’t remember everything that happened, but Toge mentioned that I had screamed, scaring him awake. I wanted to die of embarrassment.

He held me for the remainder of the night, neither of us falling asleep, just holding each other as if it was our last time together. He never let up, either. I was grateful for him being with me.

The day was exhausting. We trained hard with each other, not wanting to risk being separated. I used this as a ticket to distract myself. Neither of us mentioned my nightmare, though we did get Toge some cough medicine. His voice was still hoarse and his throat still hurt pretty bad, I felt awful for that but he reassured me that it wasn’t my fault and he had known better.

The others kept to themselves today, too. Something about a mission coming up that they needed to prepare for. Though, I couldn’t help but notice Yuta and Maki sparring with one another. I chuckled at the thought of another couple forming within the group.

Speaking of couple, no one else was aware that Toge and I were one yet. While Yuji tormented me about it, I still hadn’t mentioned anything yet. I was still sort of scared that someone would take it the wrong way.

He knocked me off of my feet, causing me to fall to the ground helplessly. I dusted myself off as he laughed.

“Tuna.” He said, still laughing. He took my hand and squeezed it a little before letting go. I smiled at him regardless of my embarrassment.

“I’m sorry, I’m distracted.” He nodded, probably knowing fully what was going through my mind.

“Do you think that my spirits are like shikigami? Do you think I can learn to call on them the way Megumi does?” He shrugged, not really knowing how to answer. Though, I guess Megumi sensed he was being talked about and was looking me in the eyes. I smiled, motioning for him to join us. He gave me a small smile back before walking over.

“I heard my name.” He said quietly. I nodded as he gave me a look that urged an explanation.

“Do you think you could teach me how to call on my spirits?” His eyes widened.

“I think our circumstances are a bit different, y/n. That may be a question for Gojo.” I sighed.

“I was hoping to avoid that.”

All afternoon was spent trying to figure out how to use my abilities without asking Gojo for help. Which, in my opinion, was utterly wasted. Toge had fallen asleep in the grass, which I thought was cute but I’d never let him know I thought that. The sun was setting, and I wasn’t sure what to do. If I asked Gojo, it might cause problems or be the enlightenment I needed, and honestly I wasn’t ready to take that gamble.

Instead, I woke Toge, who was surprisingly grumpy, and finished the night in his room.

Sorry for the abrupt ending, wasn’t sure how to end it without carrying over into the next chapter, anyways enjoy!!!
