Bad Day - Hizashi
When you opened the door the last thing you had been expecting was for Hizashi to barrel past you and into your bedroom. “Hello to you too..” Did he forget something last time? “Did you..” The blond exited your room, arms full of clothes. “Forget something.. Why are you--”
Hizashi slipped back out of your apartment without so much as a peep. Door left wide open. Did he plan on coming back? The answer was yes. Minutes later he came back in and had stolen some dirty towels and the blankets off your bed. Wait!
“Hey that’s my blanket! I need that, it’s cold!”
The blonde spun around sporting the biggest frown. “More than me?!”
Not the reaction you were expecting. “Babe is something wrong?” To others that frown might’ve seemed dramatic and cheesy but you could see it in his eyes just how upset he was.
“I..I’m taking it..!” he huffed and bolted. You followed him to the doorway to see if he’d make a third trip, but his door down the hall closed with a slam.
“Is it that time already?” Nemuri popped her head out of her own room, clearly not happy from the ruckus.
“No, it’s not till the end of the month..” The two of you watched the usually loud blonde’s door, not hearing a single peep of the usual music he played. “Did something happen today Nemu?”
She crossed her arms and leaned on the doorway. “Not that I know of, but now that you mention it he did seem a little off today. He wasn’t as loud,” red flag, “and he didn’t even style his hair!” Even bigger red flags.
“Shit, okay thanks for telling me. I’m gonna see if Sho knows.” If he wasn’t his loud self and didn’t even go to the great lengths to style his own usual cockatoo hair then clearly something was wrong.
You shot Shota a few messages to see if he had any idea, only to find out he’d forgotten to take his meds and on top of it one of his hearing aids had broken leaving him half deaf the entire day. Explains why he didn’t reply to you at first when he rushed over, you didn’t even notice he was missing one of them.
“I just planned on ordering out but I’m pretty sure he hasn’t eaten then..” You sighed and clapped your hands. “Cooking it is.” A full tummy and being bundled up in his nest wouldn’t fix his day but it could hopefully improve it.
Cooking was not your specialty but that didn’t mean you weren’t going to at least attempt something. Karaage came to mind since he liked chicken, but oyakodon felt more like the comfort meal he needed.
Thirty minutes later you had a tray with two bowls of oyakodon, two bottles of water and a packet of Hizashi’s favourite cookies. Phone and keys tucked into your hoodie pocket you left your room and went straight to his, carefully opening it with the spare key.
If he heard you he didn’t say anything, his room was uncomfortably silent that setting the tray down made such an unsettling loud noise. “Hizashi?” You cooed and took a look around before peeking into his bedroom. “Pepper?”
The room illuminated by a single string of LED lights around the ceiling, and in the corner of his room Hizashi was huddled up in what you’d come to quickly assume was his nest. That was a new addition since last time.
You crossed your arms loosely and spotted his hearing aids on the side table, one slightly busted and the other perfectly fine. If Hizashi didn’t want to hear the world right now you wouldn’t force him, and luckily you didn’t have to stand around figuring out how to get his attention. He must’ve noticed your scent, fresh and strong compared to the pile of clothing he stole.
“Baby?” Hizashi raised his head off what he was using as a pillow. He seemed confused yet excited that you were there, suddenly in his dorm room.
“Ah crap..” You scrunch your face up before cautiously trying to sign. “You need to eat.” Maybe skipping lessons with Hizashi hadn’t been the best, but hey you’d been busy!
“Too lazy.” he grumbled, face flopping back into the fabric.
“At least look at me! Argh!” You strangled the air before leaving and returning with the tray of goodies sat on his bed. Your foot tapped his nest and he raised his head again. “I cooked, you better eat it. Don’t make me baby bird this, we’ll both throw up then.”
He snorted and you considered that a small win. “I love you but that’s gross.” Hizashi lied on his stomach but kept his eyes on your mouth.
“Yeah well how’d you think I feel having to do it?” Grabbing one of the bowls you set it outside the nest for the omega and set a water next to it. “Eat. Oyakodon is one of my comfort foods. I made it just for you.”
Hizashi’s eyes grew big and it looked like he was about to cry. And he did, face buried into the nest he cried his poor heart out and all you could do was rub his back and brush his hair. You weren’t going to make him talk but it didn’t stop the ache in your heart at seeing the normal sunshine man like this.
The crying didn’t last long though, he sat up in his nest and ate the food regardless of it having grown cold or not. You sat outside his nest and ate along with him, simply keeping a careful eye as he ate. When the food was finished and set aside you made sure he drank some water before handing over the packet of cookies.
“For me?” He pointed to himself and slowly accepted the cookies.
“Of course for you Pepper.”
Hizashi’s lower lip stuck out and he gave a few whines before laying propped up on the nest's lip before breaking into his treat. While he munched happily you quickly took the dishes to the kitchen, you didn’t really mind leaving the dishes here for now. When you returned he stuck his arm out and held a cookie to you.
“It’s all yours baby.” You crouched beside him and he shook his head before gesturing for you to take it. And you did, reluctantly, still trying to give him the time to want it back. “Thank you baby.”
The omega chirped louder than normal causing you to jump slightly. Which he must’ve realized how loud he was since he didn’t have his hearing aids in. “Shit sorry!”
You rubbed at your ear and rolled your eyes a bit before looking at him. “It’s alright, I know you didn’t mean to.” Without even realizing it you started to purr, a low rumble to try and calm him, completely forgetting he couldn’t really hear it.
Regardless his inner omega started to croon and Hizashi made grabby hands in your direction. You glanced at your hand and offered him back the cookie, he snorted and moved your hand away before pulling you into his nest. So much for not wanting to move fast and give him his private space.
“The real thing always smells better.” He mumbled. He let you get comfortable before burying his face into your shoulder.
“Thanks I think..” Obviously he meant your natural scent, because you were pretty sure that you didn’t smell all that great after running around all day.
Hizashi took a few deep breaths, his little ridiculous mustache tickling you in the process that you couldn’t help but laugh. The noise was faint but he could feel the vibration and rapid rise and fall of your chest which only made him happier. “How on earth do you put up with me?”
“I don’t “put up with you” idiot, I love you. When you love someone you help them through their rough days, even if you can’t fix it you can still be there to help them through it. Nobody should have to go through things alone, and you're my boyfriend so why wouldn’t I be there for you?” Hizashi stared at your lips as you spoke, his eyes occasionally flickering around your face taking in every inch of just how serious you were. “Pepper?”
He blinked and quickly brushed the onslaught of tears before roughly pressing his lips against yours. “I love you so much.. I don’t deserve you..” The omega whimpered and your grip tightened on him. What a dumb thing to say, Hizashi deserved the absolute best, it was you who didn’t deserve him.
“Oh Pepper..” Gently pulling his face back you kissed over every possible inch of his face causing the blonde to let out a stream of giggles that sounded like music. “That’s my baby.” You chirped and Hizashi’s giggle fit died down, happily crooning in return.
“Get some rest pup, I’ll be here when you wake up.” Hizashi got comfortable again and lied his head over your heart to feel it beat. Despite the crooning being faint and muffled, Hizashi soaked up the action nevertheless, quickly dozing off.
