Hissing under my breath, my eyes shoot open as a rather uncomfortable pain stabs through my stomach and lower back. My eyes scrunching shut at the disgruntled feeling slowly blossoming through my body. Releasing a rather strained groan, I slowly push myself up to sit against my headboard and rest my head against my wall as I take a deep breath. As I release my breath, my whole body tightens as my legs feel like they're completely removed from my body. My thighs almost feeling numb and like they're not even connected to my body at all. My whole body feeling heavy and groggy.

This doesn't feel good...

As I go to nudge Keigo awake, I notice that his space in my bed is empty. Did he not even bother to wake me up? I know it's polite and everything to leave the person sleeping but I don't want to keep waking up to an empty bed every morning. I need my Keigo cuddles!

Sighing to myself, knowing that I'll have to get out of bed and actually go downstairs if I want to talk to him, I run my fingers through my hair and slide out of my bed. My legs almost bucking under the weight as I grab my bed robe to wear to try and remove the rather groggy feeling pulling me under.

Before I head downstairs, I head to my bathroom and trudge toward my bin full of sanitary pads and tampons ready for my period whenever it arrives. Already knowing that the dreaded week has finally hit me at full force, I grab one of my pads and quickly (and quietly!) put it on before rearranging myself and making sure I look somewhat decent for a Saturday morning. Fluffing up my hair a little and washing my face to make myself feel a little more fresh despite how horrible I actually felt, I clear my throat and nod to myself.

It's fine... I got this!

Once I feel as decent as I can be, I head out of my personal bathroom and into my room. I slide my feet snugly into my slippers before making my way down the stairs. The floorboards of the stairs gently creaking against the weight of my feet as I head toward the kitchen with a small hum. In the kitchen, the sounds of pots and pans clanking together fills the air making my heart swell significantly.

As I reach the kitchen, my heart jumps for joy at the sight before me. There Keigo was, standing at the stove, shirtless (just in his boxers) with a cooking apron. A spatula sat comfily in his hand as he watches the pancake sizzling away in the pan. A whistle leaving his lips as he shakes the pan to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom for when he's about to flip it.

Maybe I can forgive him for not waking me up, if the breakfast is good.

Leaning against the doorway, I watch him closely before narrowing my eyes at the plastic grocery bag laying on the kitchen counter that wasn't there last night. Amai couldn't have put it there, she's at her boyfriends. So it must be Keigo's doing... but what is it? Maybe it's overnight stuff?... Then again, he practically lives here and puts his stuff all over the place whenever he can like he's scenting the place out.

"What are you doing out of bed?" Keigo asks catching my attention, I send him a small smile as he walks toward me and presses a soft kiss to my lips making me hum, "Hm? Miss me in bed?"

"Yeah," I reply honestly, wrapping my arms around his neck tiredly as he pulls me close and lets me snuggle into his warmth while he wraps his wings around me, "Wanted cuddles..."

"You're so adorable when you're sleepy," he coos, picking me up and letting me cling onto him like a koala as he heads back to the stove to make sure he's made enough pancakes, "I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed,"

"Well I appreciate the thought," I muse gently, looking up at him groggily before wincing as another cramping feeling twists in my abdomen, "Ow... fuck..."

"You need a heating pad?" He asks gently, sitting me up on the kitchen counter beside the grocery bag and kissing my nose, "Any painkillers?"

"How did you..." I ask trailing off as he opens up one of the cupboards to pull out the heating pad and some painkillers. My eyes widening slightly as he walks to the calendar on the fridge and points to the part where it's marked with a red dot, "Oh..."

"I only assumed it meant period considering it's every month," he explains, smiling gently as he pushes the heating pad against my stomach and makes sure it's heating up before grabbing a glass of water for me to take the painkillers, "I also went for a quick run to the shops to buy you a couple things for the hell week about to ensue, everything I bought is in the bag,"

Feeling all funny and sweet inside, I pull the grocery bag in my lap and clear my throat while Keigo finishes up breakfast. A smile is unable to be torn from my face as I open it up to reveal a rather big amount of sweet treats, chocolate, ice cream and some milkshake recipes that he must have picked up from the store nearby. Sitting on the counter, something that I must have missed, were two milkshakes. One of them in my favourite flavour and the other in Keigo's favourite flavour. My heart flutters at the sight.

Keigo's so sweet...

Clearing my throat, already knowing that my hormones are going all haywire, I look toward my boyfriend and make grabby hands toward him. Chuckling to himself and happily obliging to my nonverbal wish, Keigo walks toward me and pulls me into a hug. Kissing his cheek, I snuggle into his warmth and rest my cheek against his shoulder while he rubs circles on my back. His lips gently press against my neck before pulling away.

"Thank you, Kei," I hum gently, giggling as he nips at my ear and pats my thigh gently. My cramps beginning to thaw now that the heating pad was in full swing, "You're such a sweet guy, you know that?"

"You sure you're not asleep still, my baby bird?" He asks playfully, picking me up to prevent me from walking making me giggle and snuggle into his warmth, "Ready for pancakes? I made them with love~"

"You're so cringe, I swear," I mumble, squealing as he squeezing my hips in a ticklish manner before sitting me on the couch with a plate stacked with rather yummy looking pancakes topped off with my favourite toppings, "Ooh... yummy,"

"I love you," he coos, poking my nose before sitting beside me with a plate stacked with pancakes of his own, "Now eat up! This ass doesn't work for just anything baby,"

Rolling my eyes playfully, I snuggle into his warmth and dig into my pancakes. The sweet treat slides down my throat and my tastebuds sing with absolute joy. Groaning in delight, I gobble down the pancakes while Keigo snorts at my rather hangry behaviour. His yellow eyes gleaming with mischief as I finish up the plate and then down the painkiller that I needed. A content sigh leaving my lips as I set the plate down and snuggle into him.

While he isn't look, I grab my fork and bite my lip playfully. With the coast clear, I gather as much pancake as I can onto my fork while he isn't looking and then instantly wolf it down with a snort. When Keigo looks back down at his plate, his eyes widen at the loss of pancake before staring at me with narrowed eyes and sets his plate down with a clear of his throat.

"Oh I see how it is," he hums, cracking his knuckles playfully before picking me up and pulling me into his lap. The males fingertips jabbing into my sides making me squeak with giggles, "Surrender! Give up the pancake!"

"The pancake is being digested as we speak, give it a couple hours and you can have it," I tease, laughing while he tickles my sides and under my armpits. His wings wrapping around us as we cuddle and have a little play, "I was hungry, Kei! You can't judge meeeeee!"

"Well, I'll forgive because you have a poor little tum - tum," Keigo coos, kissing my nose and holding me close as I clear my throat and nuzzle into his warmth, "Hey, I have a day off today. Wanna cuddle all day and watch movies while eating junk food?"

"You know, you have never been more attractive to me," I tell him with a playful grin, smiling as Keigo mischievously taps my ass before grabbing our milkshakes from the counter, "Hey... have you gotten anywhere... with the... issue?..."

The tension in Keigo's shoulders is all the evidence I need to know that he probably hasn't gotten anywhere. A strained groan leaving his lips as he rubs his temple and sighs to himself. The discomfort and the pain flashing across his face as he looks toward me and sends me a small weak smile while rubbing the back of his neck.

"No... we haven't," Keigo begins softly, his eyes shimmering with disappointment as I send him a weak smile before biting my lip as he grabs his phone, "We've been receiving more texts... they're... I just..."

Understanding his discomfort, I push myself to my feet and kiss his cheek while he scrolls through his phone to bring up the contact that he named as 'Le Stalker' to make sure that it stood out whenever whoever it was actually sent a message to him. His eyes looking over his phone while I fiddle with his arm, tracing circles over his toned arms with a small hum. I wait for him to pull up the contact before taking his phone off him to see what else this weirdo has sent him.

blacking out windows can't stop me

Even just reading them now made my whole body tense up. He had pictures. He had picture of me. He had pictures of me in my pyjamas. Who knows what other kinds of pictures he has of me? Were they of me doing my normal day to day things? My heart almost stopped at the thought of having someone in my home. Someone invading what I thought was my safe haven. I couldn't even feel safe with this person creeping out my whole system.

Who is this freak?...

As I hand Keigo his phone back, my eyes catch something in the corner of my room. It's incredibly small. Blink and you miss it type of thing. Slowly, I walk up to it while Keigo stares at me worried. Once at the corner, I allow my wings to push me up the wall to come face to face with a tiny little camera taped to my wall. My eyes widening in realisation as I understand what's happening. This is how he's getting the photos!

"They're cameras... he's placed cameras in my house..." I mumble incredulously as I go to pull it off when Keigo stops me and shakes his head, "What? But if we don't move it—"

"I'll call Endeavor who will in turn call the police. They can dust it for prints," Keigo explains, pulling my hand away and kissing my forehead as I stare at him, "Lets find some more so I can give them a rough estimate of how many there are,"

Nodding nervously, I let Keigo call his coworker while I look around the corners of each room to check for the tiny hidden cameras that seem almost invisible to the plain eye. Was this a doing of a quirk? Could someone even do that with a camera? The more I look around, the more I pick up on them. One in the corner of the kitchen; two in the bathroom, two in my bedroom, one in my hallway.

I could find about seven already...

How did they even get into my house in the first place? Angel would have picked up on it surely, if someone outside out home entered. I couldn't be dreaming this. Was this due to a quirk? The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I get. Keigo's arms, however, ground me and keep me from losing it. His kisses making me relax slightly in his hold.

"Endeavor - san is on his way. We'll get to the bottom of this,"...

"I hope so... this is really freaking me out,"...

"I know, you're handling this so well. I'm here to keep you safe, I promise,"...
