Tododeku: I Miss You

It was a hard day at work, a really hard day. But it was nothing but a bother successful mission afterwards!


Driving up and parking in my driveway, I opened my car door and hop out. I'm so tired, and I'm so happy to be home. Sometimes the best part of my day and night is jut going home to my husband. That and saving the innocent from the unnecessary violence of villains. My hubby would usually be home before me, I guess he's just better with his timing. He'd start dinner or order something for us to eat, he'd kiss me as soon as I walk in the door. Cuddle me to bed if I had a- not so successful mission at work...


I hate that I don't always have enough time for him, it irritates me in the morning when he whines for me to stay in bed with him a little longer every morning. Or when I can't have a fun night because we always have work the next day and need rest.


But the times I do have with him, I try to make them last long. I treasure them, and I try to not ever make him upset or to get mad. Honestly we can't offered to be argumentative with the such little time we have together.


I open the door to a dark house, no lights on, no good smell from the kitchen, no noise. 'I guess he's not home yet.'


I got settled in, putting in some pajamas and laying on my bed, tapping and scrolling in my phone. I was trying my best to stay awake, I wanted to at least see my husband before I shut off... and had to start another day tomorrow.


I love being a hero, I love being number one. But sometimes I wish I could just, take a small break ? Shoto being the number two hero doesn't help because he can't have a break either.


I'm so worn-out... my eyes are getting heavier. I'm slowly losing half my consciences, but I swear I can hear sometimes feet shuffle in the room. I'm trying to turn to face this person but, I can barely move. Sleep seems so good right now.


I just give in, it's unlike me, but, I like sleep. I am tired, I'll see Shoto tomorrow.


My eyes slowly flutter open, being waken by my annoying phone alarm, I indicating it's now 4 in the morning. I turn to my side, to see my husband sleeping next to me. He stirs, obviously the sound being annoying to him too as he scrunches his face and whines for me to turn it off.


I reach over and tap the 'Dismiss' button before hoping out of bed.


"Another day!" I say, stretching my arms over my head, then down to my feet.


I could hear Shoto sigh, then shuffle out of bed and walk into the bathroom.


Where was my daily 'good morning' and 'did you have sweet dreams, lovely?' Where was my kisses and whines for me to stay in bed? Has he gotten tired of the same thing everyday..?


I sit on the bed, waiting the twenty minutes it takes for him to finally get out of the bathroom, with nothing but a towel over his waist.


"Zu? What are you doing? You're wasting time to get ready." He says bluntly, as he looks through our closet for something to wear.


Like the twenty-six year old baby I am, I tear up. Emotions washing over me. He hadn't said anything serious, but I could he was mad at me.


I stood up and wrapped my arms around his waste, kissing him back and back scars repeatedly. He stood there, as my kisses didn't give any affect on him. I was too afraid to turn around, or ask him to lean down so I could kiss him, and push him back to the bed.


"You're wasting time."


I whine, and feel my heart sink. "Kisses don't waste time," I start, my voice shaky. "Kisses get all the time..." my grip on him loosened as he slowly turned around. We locked eyes, but instead of that passionate, and loving looked he'd give me every morning, it was a more, tired, and irritated one. "Shoto... please tell me what I did wrong. I know I did something and I will make it better if you'd just tell me."


He looked at me, the irritation slowly starting to go awake. He wrapped his arms around me.


"Stay."


"...what?"


"Stay home from work today. Don't go like you always do. I need you... at least for today. I'm tired of not being able to see you, it's making me upset. I know your works important, I know you're very busy, but I can't wait like this anymore."


I paused, I don't know what to say in return. Was I even able to stay? Was that against my own rules for the number one hero to just not save anyone for one day? Would Kacchan replace me for the day if I asked him to? Could I stay with him- I want to. I'm going to- no. I can't, people will die if we both stay. But what if his feelings die... if I don't..?


He's more important.


I can stay right ? No one would mind ?


I rest my face in the crook of his neck, and smile. "Okay. I'll stay today."


...we sit there in the comfortable silence. He slowly pushes me back towards the bed, then I remember he's still only wearing a towel. Oh. We have time... we could do anything right now.


I lay back, looking in his eyes as he slowly leans in for a kiss. The kiss was passionate, and slow, caring, sweet, desperate. Running my fingers through his long, grown out hair, and pull him closer... deepening it a little.


I'm gonna be in trouble tomorrow by multiple people for not showing up. But it's so worth it...


He pulls away hesitantly. A soft "Good morning, Zu. I missed you." Whispered into my ear.
