Chapter Eight

Droplets

Fable fanned the dust particles out of the air, wow it had gotten mucky in a short about a time. Toshi was standing next to her his hands clasped behind his back. He insisted that they collect some of her things today since the next couple of days he'll be busy with All Might things.

"I don't remember what I packed in here" She muttered under her breath while rubbing her chin. Kneeling before a box, she opened it and filtered through it badly packed dishes. She felt Toshi loomed over her.

"I gave you that" he reached down and picked out the set he, gave her as a birthday gift one year. Fable nodded and collected the rest that matched the set, it was really ugly, to be honest. The china was scattered with puke colors and hot pinks; it reminds her of something that her grandma would buy. But she loved it because it was something from Toshi, "we should bring this home with us" the man hummed thoughtfully.

"Okay," Fable giggled softly, picking out the rest of the china that matched. Come to think of it, all Toshi's plates where plain white. He needs more colors in his life, tasteful colors. Toshi started to move the plates to a 'keeping' pile. Fable continued to shift through the boxes in the dimly lit room.

"There's a switch here" Toshi announced before turning it on, and she blinked rapidly as her eyes got used to the brightness.

"Oh wow," she rubbed her eyes "that's bright" she looked around the room, the only source of light was the door way before.

"Do, you need more articles of clothing?" Toshi looked down at the box labeled as 'casual wear' he remembered back when she moved it with a small suitcase. Fable stood up and dusted off her knees.

"Uh…maybe…" her brows furrowed together, her room was going to be the nursery soon. If she brought more clothes where would she put them? Is he going to give her the third room, that she came to know it to be his office, "I don't think I have a place to put them"

"Nonsense" Toshi picked up the box and moved it to the 'keep' pile with a grunt, "You can have most of the closet" he dusted off his hands, "Besides…we have to buy a new bedroom set anyways…with more pieces…since you'll be staying"

"Wait…what?" Fable pressed her lips into a thin line what is this man talking about?

"Our bedroom" Toshi looked over at the young woman in question, Fable's face flushed. Yeah, she'd been sleeping in there a lot more offended now, but she asks if it's okay with the older man. That doesn't really make it 'their' bedroom at all.

"I know all your garments can't fix in the room as it is, right now" Toshi started to look for any box marked as clothing, "but soon it will". Toshi sighed watching the young woman move rummage through the boxes if they were back in Tokyo. She could have been living in a skyline apartment with a beautiful view of the whole city, a perfect place to raise a family. But, instead they're living in his apartment, the first apartment he looked at actually! He should have looked around more, should have found something roomier, big enough for the three…maybe four of them.

She doesn't know that you're All Might.

The man frowned deeply, that is true he can't keep it a secret any longer. They're going to be living together, raising a family. He couldn't keep that from her, he wants this relationship built on trust and not lies. Next year they'll look for a bigger place for them. His eyes followed the young woman puttered around the cramped space before him, shifting through the boxes.

Sighing deeply, he followed her lead in searching for things to bring along with them. From the corner of his eyes, he spotted some boxes labeled 'toys' that's probably where her plushie collect was. Toshi smiled softly, he could place some in the living-room in place of the lumpy pillows on the couch. Bending he opened one of the boxes that indeed relieved some of the collection, the collection wasn't huge just about eight or ten. This box only held four of the items, reaching over to its neighbor he peeked at the rest, definitely keepers.

Then a smaller shoe box caught his eye, curiosity winning out in the end. Toshi lifted the lid slightly what he saw inside caused him to pull his hand back as if flames licked the tips of his fingers letting out a loud gasp.

Shit!

"Toshi, did you see a bug?" Fable called over to him, worry in eyes "or…a rat?"

"N-no I'm fine" the blonde smiled weakly, seeing the woman pucker lips slightly before going back to her business. He watched her a bit before, reopening the box, these where indeed adult toys. The man's face became inflamed. She left them here! Then all those times he heard her…she was using her hands. Fable isn't queit at all, he remembers a good chuck of that night and the morning after.

Would She.

Would she, like to be intimate with him again? Toshi knows he isn't the best-looking man out there…she could have someone closer to her age after all. Maybe that was why she wanted to move out so quickly, Fable was ashamed of him. He slyly scooted the box into the 'keeps' pile maybe he'll get to use them on her someday. The thought brought the man into a coughing fit.

"Toshi!" Fable peeked over from behind a box, "are you okay? Do you need some air?" his lover rushed over to him.

"Yes," He gave a weak smile, wiping away some blood, "not to worry"

"Go outside!" she clenched her fists "gets some fresh air it'll make you feel better" Fable frowned deeply as she eyed the older man.

"Fine" he chuckled "I'll bring these down to the car then" he leaned down and kissed her forehead. Before collecting the boxes to bring to Fable's car, he found it funny that she owns one but hardly uses it. At least now his parking spot won't be empty at the apartment complex.

Toshi had moved everything into the apartment with little to no help from Fable, who idly stood by and watched the man work. She was once again reminded that Toshi, wasn't frail as she originally thought, he was rather muscular under all of those baggy clothes. Violet eyes could see the induvial muscles flex when every time he moved. The living room was now unkempt with the boxes but it'll be temporary since Toshi decided on a new master bedroom set. Fable poured some lemonade she had pre-made before they went to the storage earlier that day.

"You should have let me help" she scolded the man while handing him the glass. Though she had to admit that he didn't look one bit tried at all.

"Fable, I had it all under control "you can count on me"

"But still" Fable felt her flood with warmth at his words "I'm here to help, I want you to depend on me too" she glanced down at the pitcher in hand "this is a two-way street"

'My love'

A low chuckle rumbled in Toshi's chest, hand reaching out and cupping the side of her face. Thumb stroking her cheek gently, pink darting out from between her lips to wet them. The older man shivered wanting to feel those lips against his skin once more.

Is that a possibility?

"Fable" the man felt his heart race it's now or never "do you find me attractive?" his face turned color immediately after that question.

"Wha?" Fable had to do a double take, did he just ask what she thought he did! The young woman licked her lips, where did this come from all of sudden? It was no lie, she thought he was handsome, she loved the sharp angles to his face. He had the deepest blues eyes she had ever seen! His hair reminded her of hot summers she had at home, but it was his smile that started this whole thing! When he smiled at her it could cause the young woman to die a little on the inside. It made her heart race, and the feeling never left her to this day.

"O-Of course…n-not" the man shifted in his seat, that night was a fluke it was the alcohol talking not her, "I'm sorry…I-I over stepped" he pulled his hand back.

"No, No" Fable placed the pitcher on the center table before sitting in the older man's lap and cupped his face between her hands "y-you didn't over step at all"

"Then what is your answer" large hands rested on her hips, rubbing small circles into them. Toshi couldn't understand after all the villains and high-pressure situations he's been through as All Might. This is the most nerve-wracking.

"I-I do" Fable nodded shyly, with those two words the older man felt his entire being, being washed over with the sense of relief.

"My skeletal features don't bother you at all" laughed warmly seeing Fable's face twisted at his words.

"You're don't look like a skeleton" she huffed resting her head against his chest, who told him that!

"D…do" if the man still had a stomach, there would have been butterflies fluttering in it, "you...w-would…"

"Would I what?" Fable peered up at the man above her with a raised eyebrow, what could get this man flustered so badly.

"Like…er...does" Toshi's face grew brighter by each passing moment, his fingers began to drum along her hips.

"Come on, Toshi" Fable huffed, "what is it?"

"The idea of intercourse…between us interest, you" The blonde's face was brighter than a ripe tomato. His fingers dug into her sides, slightly causing the younger woman to shift in his lap.

Oh. He was asking about that!

"I…uh" She could feel his glaze burn a hole in her skull, "yes, sex with you interest me" Fable rubbed the back of her neck. It would have been a damn lie if she said 'no' this man made her feel things. With a heated face, she took a chance to look at the man before her. His eyes where closed as he let go of the breath, he was holding.

"That's marvelous" he gently pulls at her curls, his arms wrapped themselves around her waist, "another question…do you fancy All Might at all?"

Fable squinted her eyes at the man slightly, why would he need to know that for? Is he jealous that she works with his boss so closely? Does he think that she'll leave him if the number one Pro-hero gave her the time of day? Fable pressed her lips together into a thin line, of course, All Might is nice a piece of ass…with a nice ass to boot. She wouldn't be surprised if that hero made men question their sexuality. She may have made a joke or two about wanting to climb that man like a tree, and sit on his face while he eats her like the last meal.

Toshi doesn't need to know that.

"Why?" she leaned back pursing her lips, eyeing the older man suspiciously. His eyes started to dart around the room.

Oh, God.

What if he wants to be cuckold! Yagi Toshinori, might be a cuck! Fable's whole body felt as it was engulfed in flames. An image of All Might taking her from behind as Toshi touches himself came to mind. Fuck. She's a filthy sinner.

"It's not important anyway" Toshi leaned down and placed a kiss on Fable's forehead then quickly placing another one on her lips.

"O-okay" Fable said knowing, it was nothing but, she'll have to ask about that later when she has the chance too.
