1ST POV

.

.

We ended up at another cafe where I finally got to enjoy my flan in peace while he drank his coffee (since he wasn't a big fan of sweets).

This time we truly talked about ourselves since it was the purpose of the date. I noticed how he was trying to say things about himself as well, even though I already knew some of them. I did learn a few things not mentioned in the manga tho, like the fact that he considers his cursed spirit as a pet despite his inability to see curses-lack of cursed energy, all the jazz- and his love for weapons and, funny enough, plushies

"Chotto- Plushies?!"

He bashfully looked away as I cackled like a dolphin, repeatedly slamming the table where my empty plate rested, earning me several concerned glances.

"holy crap! this is adorable my guy, I didn't know you'd be into this!! I gotta show you my collection then!"

"Shut up..." He pinched the bridge of his nose as my shoulders shook with laughter. "I regret telling you," he muttered.

He ended up groaning and flicked my forehead while giving me a glare that made me guffaw even harder. I just couldn't stop laughing—

Okay, it caught me off guard but frankly, I found it hella cute and started teasing him about it until I took pity on him and decided to buy him some later to make us even.

After that, we went for a walk to random places, from the simple little manga store to the roof of a building. A manga store that I spotted and dragged a reticent Toji with me into, to buy some merch, resulting in him calling me an otaku which I smoothly corrected by saying that I was instead a weeb. Let's just say that he didn't get it and dumbly repeated the term, that boomer.

"Aren't you a little too old for this? What is this, One Piece...? The hell is this...?" He took the 15th volume, seeing the two giants, Dorry and Brogy, displayed on the cover with their arms extended, holding their weapons. Luffy and Usopp also stood proudly with their usual grins. Toji turned the book back and forth, scrunching up his face at the sight of the cartoonish drawings, still unable to understand my fascination with it all.

I did a complete 180 towards him, offended by the blasphemy he had just spouted, which startled him slightly before he simply raised a brow.

"Ah! Never say that! One Piece is a gift from the heavens, don't you dare disrespect it- Oh it's the 15th volume!", I gasped, completely forgetting his preposterous comment, "You should get the first one before Oda goes crazy and ends up drawing more than 1000 chapters in the future! Don't want ya to stay uncultured and miss a masterpiece!"

My little jibe made him scowl as I trotted towards him, arms loaded with the few mangas I knew and others I had never heard of, totally disregarding his affronted look.

"or...you could try this one!" I somehow managed to pull the first volume of Berserk from an aisle, showing it to the man who seemed a bit more interested now.

"what's this?"

"Berserk! You should definitely check out this series because you kill people on a daily basis! I made a stupid mistake and read it when I was in middle school. Let's just say it wasn't a good idea because I ended up having nightmares for a whole week...," I shuddered at the memory of the Eclipse. Ugh!

This piqued his interest as Miura-sensei's (Rip) art style was more detailed and dark, much more to his liking. He took the book, opened it, and then gave me a pointed look after seeing the first page. Wise enough to know when to keep quiet, I simply went to the cashier to buy the available volumes and left—

We now were on top of the building of an unfamiliar company -to me- which however seemed to be a big shot here since their logo tended to be plastered everywhere.

The colorful lights from the streets indicated that shops, restaurants, and other businesses were still open at this late hour, while the billboards displaying random advertisements for items you would never need in your daily life illuminated the city of Tokyo.

The view was breathtaking from where we were, even more so at night. With its emerging city architecture and all the tall buildings surrounding it, my hometown in comparison would only seem like a mere countryside, less modern certainly, but where the people were more accessible.

The decorations for the upcoming holidays as well as several monuments specific to Tokyo - which I should visit, by the way - were visible from the sky and the cold atmosphere put me in some kind of relaxing trance.

I smiled, releasing a sigh of ease as fog escaped my mouth whenever I let out a breath. I truly felt good and soothed by the view which almost made me forget that I was freezing up moments earlier. Reminding me that I could make my body warm enough to stand in the tundra but hey I really forgot about it.

While I was lost in thought, I felt Toji's gaze on me, causing me to look in his direction and send him a warm smile.

"Sometimes I forget how nice it is to go out once in a while. You know, I was against the idea of a date, but since today is such a nice day, I don't mind having a second one with you." I snickered, hearing him grunt in response. "To think that you tried to kill me just four months ago and now here we are on a date on a random rooftop...so weird," I said, giving him a teasing smile.

"You were just annoying," He bluntly said, making me chuckle. "But I guess you're right, it's...nice."

"Right?! And that's what I do best, buddy."

I nudged his shoulder with mine as I admired the view. We sat in comfortable silence on the fence, not worrying at all about the possibility of falling to our deaths.

That was until I felt his hand reach for my cheek, causing me to look at him again in question. His face was devoid of its usual deadpan expression and I immediately felt my face heat up upon seeing the soft look on his face.

'ugh, my heart..!!'

"Thank you...for saving me back then," my eyes comically widened it almost hurt. He was fondly caressing my cheek, making my face heat up. "If it wasn't for you, I would've lost the brat to the clan..." His eyes hardened a bit at this thought before eventually softening at my sight, and the smile he gave me almost made my heart explode.

"Yeah sure, you're welcome!" I hastily grabbed his hand, stopping it, too embarrassed to come up with another reply. "I think we should go home, it's getting late!" I blurted, swiftly jumping back onto the ground. I didn't feel like falling today, not that I would die but you know what I mean. Toji frowned, not wanting the date to end but reluctantly sighed before copying my movements.

"If you say so..."

His tone held some disappointment for some reason, and I was too flustered to notice his hand reaching for my wrist to stop me.

"Yea-"

Before I could say anything, he pulled me towards him by my waist, catching me off guard as I yelped in surprise before his scarred lips locked with mine.

I stiffened.

Okay, I know I said that I wouldn't mind banging one of my husbandos, even boldly thirsting over them every time I see the slightest fanart of them on Pinterest, but right now... Oof.

I shuddered slightly as he pulled me closer to him, feeling the warmth of his muscular body against mine, and nearly fainted when I felt his tongue on my lips. Oh Shi—! Is this—?

ight fuck it.

I slightly parted my lips, hesitantly granting him access so he could deepen the kiss. He grunted as one hand rested on my waist while the other traveled behind my neck, pulling my head closer. My breath hitched when his tongue met mine and since I'd never been French-kissed before, I panicked!

"hmf...w-wait! To-"

I pulled my head away a bit to talk, but that jerk didn't let me finish because he smashed his mouth back onto mine, tongues swirling together in a wild dance, eliciting a few groans from him. The kiss quickly grew passionate and hungrier as he poured his burning desire onto me, causing my pulse to spike at an alarming rate. My knees almost gave out, if it wasn't for his tight hold on my waist and my fingers grasping fiercely his sweater which kept me standing. As he continued to explore my mouth, a moan escaped me when he bit my bottom lip, surprising the hell out of me because I didn't know I could make this kind of sound! However, this seemed to please him, his hand traveling down my-

'OKAY, THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS-'

Breathing was getting hard for me and I knew he was having trouble too, but with the way things were going, it seemed like he wasn't planning to stop there. Before things could escalate further, I yanked his hair, surprising him as his eyes snapped open, and thankfully our lips parted, putting an end to this strange make-out session.

Honestly, the kiss was amazing, but he really needs to chill out.

My legs felt like jelly, forcing me to lean on him since he was firmly holding me against him. My face was as warm as an oven while my chest rose up and down every time I panted, finally able to breathe. Toji wasn't faring any better, cheeks flushed and a panting mess with half-lidded eyes still glued to my swollen lips in hunger. He was about to lean in again but I swiftly put my hand on his mouth, halting his movements.

"W-wow, what the hell was that...?" I stammered, still out of breath, which seemed to bring him back to reality because he began blinking wildly as realization hit him.

"Umph-" I warily removed my hand. "I-uh...I don't know what got into me, sorry..."

He bit his lip and frowned, quite embarrassed for losing himself like that. It was really unlike him to lose control when it came to the opposite sex and it seemed like something had taken hold of him, pushing him to seek something more... carnal than mere kisses. His eyes remained glued to my person as he questioned his sanity about the sudden lewd thoughts invading his mind.

What was happening to him for fuck's sake?

The male's heart pounded in his chest as he took a breath, still highly confused. However, deep down he already knew the answer, for I had told him earlier that very morning.

As for me...I had no idea what the hell just happened because fuck...this came out of nowhere. Not knowing what to say because frankly, I was confused as fuck, I awkwardly ended up patting his shoulder while pretending to cough.

"It's alright...uh...I think we should probably go."

"Sure," he tried to plaster his usual blank face, which reminded me of teenage Megumi, but failed since his cheeks still had a taint of red from our heated make-out moments ago.

I couldn't even feel the coldness of the night with how hot I felt right now; God damn, that was intense! Since he was still holding me, I simply teleported us to his apartment front door.

The sudden change of location startled him a bit as his grip tightened around my waist until he saw my unsurprised expression and realized that it was my doing. We stood in awkward silence, with my head resting on his chest, determined to avoid eye contact. He probably understood why I was acting this way, knowing how embarrassed I was.

"Did I hurt you?" he whispered, making me flinch. I could hear his erratic heartbeat from my position, anticipating my answer. I simply shook my head, and heard him sigh in relief. "I see," he murmured.

"it's okay...it was still a bit unexpected, but..."I liked it...

I bit my lip, still embarrassed by what I was about to say, but stopped myself when I heard noises coming from behind the door and noticed light below.

It finally opened revealing my clone wearing a Naruto sweater and simple sweatpants, hot chocolate in hand with a scowling face. She must have felt our presence.

"Finally! It's about damn time. Thankfully, Gumi was adorable so everything went well!" She threw us an annoyed look which swiftly morphed into a sly one when she saw us still holding onto each other, flushed and flustered.

"Oh~? Was the date that great? Bummer it wasn't me instead." She threw a flirtatious look at Toji who twitched.

"Shut it!" I grunted, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks as I freed myself and went inside with Toji closely following behind. "Where's Gumi?"

"he's sleepin' like a baby!"

I deadpanned at the lame joke but chose not to say anything about it because I would have done the same. She was now glued to Toji's arm. The man looked back and forth between us in confusion. He wasn't complaining though.

"He's such a cute kid, I love him so much."

I agreed and removed my shoes before going to the kitchen to wash my hands due to the trauma caused by COVID-19. It was becoming second nature at this point.

"Of course you do, I'm you!"

She was now drawing circles on his chest while muttering "Oh God, these mommy milkers are top-notch, you're so fine. I like it~." Causing Toji to raise a brow at my stuttering form, though he remained silent about the matter.

"Stop doing that!" I whacked her head, making her squeak in indignation and release the man. "I'll freaking kick your ass if you don't leave him alone!"

"Oi that hurts!!" she growled, massaging her scalp, "It's not like we ain't simpin for his ass on a daily basis! Hey Toji, she's head over heels for you, keep going!"

"WHY YOU-" I was about to strangle her when she put her hands up in defense, successfully mimicking that Jurassic Park scene where Chris Pratt tried to calm the velociraptors down...AND I WAS THE DAMN DINOSAUR! I heard Toji stifle a laugh from his spot as he leaned against the kitchen's wall while admiring the show, completely amused.

"How's it? To taste your own medicine for once?" I snapped my head toward him with a withering look. He just laughed it off. Did that asshole just-

"You think this is funny?" I screeched.

"Yep." Mais quel enfoiré-

"Oi Oi Oi!" My clone called for me, still posing. I immediately threw her a nasty glare she obviously didn't take seriously.

"WHAT?!"

"woosah!!-"

I slapped the shit out of her which caused her cackling to worsen as I quickly dispelled her, unable to take her bullshit any longer. Was I really that annoying? Geez…

I grumbled, still upset with myself as I received the memories she had made today, and cracked a smile at them.

'Yup, Megumi, top tier baby for sure! ...ayo that slap kinda hurts-'

Toji's deep chuckle burst my thought bubble, prompting me to look at him in question before recalling how my clone had just rated me out. Pretty sure the asshole wouldn't let me live it down. I blushed madly when he smirked, daring me to reply to his next question.

"So you like me?"

What did I say?

A sly look crossed his features. I scowled and then huffed, deciding to humor him.

"Of course," I grunted, surprising him with my sudden agreement.

What? Did he think I would deny it? Never underestimate a simping weeb, we have no shame.

He hummed, satisfied by my response.

I immediately regretted saying yes because, next thing I know he's right behind me with arms embracing my figure. We were in the dimly lit living room right now and I was starting to freak the fuck out with the way his aura went from amused to HORNY—

'Allah Help me-'

"You know...I want to kiss you again, Colith." He softly muttered as I felt his warm breath caress my ear, making goosebumps appear on my skin.

'OH SHI-'

I shivered as he put his head at the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent. "Can't you see what you're doing to me? Your lips, your skin...I want a taste of it all." He trailed off, leaving a myriad of sweet kisses going from my neck to my jaw. My heart almost leapt out of my mouth when his teeth started nibbling my ear.

'JESUS!' and I'm not even Christian!!

"Holy crap, could you not?" I squeaked, pulling my head away from his mouth while attempting to remove his arm from my waist, but to no avail; the bastard wouldn't let go! My face started heating up when he leaned in again. "Don't you think it's a little early for this," my voice high-pitched at the end when our eyes met and the lustful look I saw in his eyes freaked me out. He just growled in response.

'Okay.. uh...let's calm down, nothing's going to happen...I think!'

I tried reassuring myself until I felt his hand wandering under my swea- "??!"

I knocked him out.

"..."

I know this was a little bit drastic but he should've seen it coming.

'You can't go start groping people's boobs like that!'

I tightly held his slumped form in my arms while doing my best to calm myself down. After finally stopping my erratic heart from exploding due to what almost happened, I dragged his heavy body to his bedroom with one hand on his waist and the other holding his arm around my neck as his head hung low.

"Pfft, he looks like some wasted dude!" I weakly snickered while trying my best to not stare at his parted lips - oh boy.

The intense kisses followed by the caresses he managed to make resurfaced in my mind, causing me to bite my lower lip as I felt butterflies swirl in my stomach. I couldn't believe that, well...it could have such an effect on me!

...oh who am I kidding, of course, it would, it was Toji for fucks sake!! And the worst about this is that I enjoyed it!

"This is bullshit, I swear...weak when it comes to kisses, unbelievable!" I growled, throwing him a nasty look that quickly turned into a blush when my eyes landed once more on his beautiful lips before quickly looking away, "Goddammit."

The coward I am wasn't ready at all for whatever unholy bullshit Toji had in mind tonight! It was one thing to fantasize about him from time to time but for this shit to happen, just like that?! That's a nein! I shouldn't underestimate horny dilfs anymore!

Opening the door with my foot and turning on the lights to see clearly, because oh boi, darkness, I saw for the first time since I came here how his bedroom looked.

Noticing the king-sized bed covered by a slightly creased mazarine-colored sheet on which were scattered several plushies and pillows that made me chuckle a little at how out of place they were in this colorless room, I took note of the white walls that were devoid of any type of decoration, reminding me that Toji wasn't the kind of guy to pimp his apartment because he probably didn't give a shit about it and was surely too lazy to do it.

Well, mood, except I would obviously put some anime posters on the walls instead.

Apart from a few things scattered here and there, including stuffed animals and different weapons that shouldn't be in a bedroom, the room was pretty cozy. For an apartment in Tokyo, it was relatively large, surprising me. Well knowing Toji, I knew he wouldn't want anything flashy or extravagant since the guy loved his money in his pockets. Dude could go kill the Queen of England if you paid him enough and would come back unscathed.

I dumped him on the bed, watching as light snores escaped his mouth while a peaceful expression was displayed on his usually stoic face, which softened his masculine features considerably. I knew how rude it was to stare, so I quickly took a picture of him with my phone for my collection. Creepy? No way. That was payback for groping me earlier.

Knowing how uncomfortable he must be in that position, I snapped my fingers, which automatically changed his clothes into something more comfortable. Thankfully, I had that ability, so I didn't have to go and undress an unaware man without his consent. Consent is the key, people!

I looked at his face as the urge to stroke his hair grew within me, but I held back from doing so because I knew the moment I got close, the sly bastard would yank me onto the bed with him. Call it a gut feeling, but I had read enough fanfiction to know where this was going.

"Not today, Satan," I giggled quietly, covering his massive body with blankets to keep him warm as it was rather chilly outside, and watched him burrow into them in comfort, exhaling with complete ease.

'he looks like a burrito cat.'

Shaking my head, I went to my room while silently yawning like a degenerate.

"That was one heck of a date, no lie."
