A little while later, Toshi found himself sitting on his couch with Shay curled up against his side. His fingertips absently toying with her silken hair as she admired her choice of engagement ring in the dim light filtering through the sliding glass windows leading out of his home to his patio.
She had really puzzled him with her choice in rings, but now that the ring was on her finger and he could see her admiring the way that the light hit the pink tourmaline stones embedded in the uniquely designed white gold band- he had to say, she'd made a good choice.
No scratch that. She'd made a great choice.
The ring not only seemed to reflect who she was as a person, but his thoughts of her as well.
Unlike some of the other pieces that he'd bought, the one that she had decided to pick was a simple white gold band with some interwoven sakura branches, complete with tourmaline flowers with tiny little flawless white diamonds clusters in the center.
It wasn't big. It wasn't gaudy, flashy or totally attention grabbing. In fact part of the reason why he was certain that she had chosen the ring was because of the fact that if one didn't know her personally, they would never know that she was wearing a piece of jewelry on her ring finger.
It was her subtle way of deviously letting him stake his claim on her person and her future without actually coming out and simply saying, Hi! I'm Toshinori/All Might's future wife! Which was fine by him. The less people he had sticking their noses where they didn't belong, the better.
After she had chosen the ring, he had slipped it on her finger and then kissed her hand over the ring and the two of them had curled up together to finish their talk. Toshi had laid out what most people expect from a quirk marriage, and then had told her of his expectations and wants for them both to see if she either agreed or disagreed with his ideas.
She had disagreed with some.
Like him spending a lot of money on her and setting up an more than generous allowance for her to spend monthly. She had argued that she wished to remain independent. And he respected this, truly he did. But he had pointed out that even if she didn't use the money form the allowance for any reason right now, or even ten years form now- what if things ended badly between them and it led to a separation.
He would much rather have her have the money sitting around when she didn't need it than not have it when she did need it. She had pouted for a few minutes after that, meaning that she would give in to him. But only until he knew she could find a way to weasel out of it.
He'd also asked to meet her parents, at least once before they married. And she had agreed and then asked him what kind of wedding he wanted. A nice simple one or one that was big and lavish.
He had almost told her that he couldn't avoid something lavish due to his status as a pro-hero, but upon seeing the calculating gleam in her eyes had abruptly shut the hell up knowing that he'd almost stepped on a land mine there. And she was already planning to ditch the money from the allowance that he planned to give her by using it on the wedding.
Finally he had told her that a small wedding was fine and watched in amusement as she had started pouting again at being thwarted while he quietly laughed at her and kissed the top of her head before muttering, "Nice try angel."
Her only response was a sullen sounding, "I had to give it at least one shot." To which he only laughed harder as he gave her a brief squeeze before settling back down again and saying.
"I know that you do. And I look forward to many, many years of your inventive and entertaining attempts to ditch my money."
He felt her shrug her shoulders slightly before she said. "Okay."
They sat after that in silence as his fingers resumed playing with her hair when he asked out of the blue, "How about tomorrow we go out on our first official date after I get off of work?"
Shay tipped her head back and looked at him wide eyed for a moment before asking, "W-What do you want to do?"
He shrugged before replying, "Well, we could do any number of things. Go to a movie. Dinner and dancing. We could even do some shopping for your shop if you want. Would you like that?"
"You just want me to spend your money."
"Maybe." He said with a slight quirk of his lips, earning a small playful growl from her before she quieted down for a moment and then said.
"How about I make you lunch and bring it to you at work and keep you company for a bit?"
Toshi mulled over the idea for several seconds before grinning and saying teasingly, "That sounds nice. I've never had anyone play naughty secretary for me before," Which earned him a small smack on the shoulder that elicited a loud laugh from him before he asked her, "And what shall my naughty little secretary do in such a boring office with me?"
"Well once the paperwork is out of the way, we could play a game." She suggested.
"Oh? A game? What kind I wonder?"
"Hn, I'm not sure. I've never really played games with anyone before."
"Really?" He asked in a surprised tone. She nodded her head and he asked her what sort of game that she would like to play and wasn't sure if he should laugh or cry at her reply.
Hero and Villain.
How the hell was he supposed to work with that? He wondered, and must have asked the question aloud since Shay decided to answer him in a way that he thoroughly appreciated.
She was explicit in her descriptions of what could be done with the roles, so much so that before she even finished speaking he felt the need to jump up, grab her wrist and drag her to his bedroom for some fun. He knew that he couldn't make love to her again just yet due to her still being a bit tender, but that didn't mean that he couldn't make her scream his name a few times before they went to bed.
And oh did he ever.
Toshinori was gone the next morning when Shay woke up in his bed, mostly naked with the exception of her panties which he had been kind enough to let her keep on during last nights activities. Though she distinctly recalled him spoiling the front of them at least twice before she had passed out, curled up in his arms.
Rolling over, she glanced at the digital clock sitting on the small bedside table and noted the time. It was ten minutes after nine thirty. She needed to get up and shower, dress and then go make Toshi the lunch that she had promised him. However upon sitting up to go do just that, she found a little neon green piece of paper lying folded on the bedside table with her name sprawled across the middle of it.
Wondering what it was, she picked it up and unfolded it and took a moment to scan the words that Toshi had written before realizing that he had written and outline and instructions for their game. Including character bio's and everything.
He had given her the hero name, Vixen. And written down a different name to his own pro-hero name.
Wicked.
Ah, so Toshi intended to play the villain. Interesting. She thought as she went on to read the rest. He'd left instructions on what to wear (he wanted her to wear another of his satin shirts. This time the white one that he'd pulled out and set on the dresser for her) as well as how to do her makeup, and wear her hair.
He also mentioned that she would likely be bound at some point, and to expect a little bit of discomfort in her wrists as well as the need to come up with a safe word just to be sure that he didn't lose himself too much in the role that he intended to play.
He didn't want to accidentally injure her, after all.
Humming, she slowly slid out of bed and walked towards the bathroom wondering just what she had gotten herself into.
