Telling Friends With Benefits Toji You're Pregnant
Toji x You!FemReader Content: Fluff. Pregnancy Test. Daddy. WC 1.1k
"What do you want?" He spoke into the phone while casually making a cup of tea. "Ya better have a good damn reason on why you wanna see me."
You look down at the positive pregnancy test on the bathroom counter as your mind is still freaking the fuck out.
"It is a good one. Just.." You take a breath keeping yourself calm. "Get here. Something I have to tell you in person."
There's a long pause on the other end of the line. Long enough to where you wonder if he already hung up. Then a quiet scoff breaks the silence.
"…The hell?" There's another beat. No greeting, no softening tone- just Toji being Toji. "Fine. Stay there."
The call cuts abruptly and you nod into it before pulling the phone away from your ear.
Those next 30 minutes you spent waiting for him to get there were hell. Feeling anxious mixed with nervousness you try to come up with a way on how you're going to tell him. He's not your boyfriend or anything so it doesn't have to be cute and romantic, right?
Your heart nearly leaps out of your chest at the doorbell ringing. When you open it he's standing there in his usual lazy stance and with his black shirt slightly damp from the rain. He searches your face scanning for clues.
"Hey. Come inside. You'll catch your death out there."
You step away from the door to let him in. Now that he's actually here you feel even more nervous than before. But at the same time, you also have a feeling that everything is going to be okay now.
Toji steps inside without a word, kicking off his shoes like he owns the place and flops down onto the couch, lazily stretches out one arm along the backrest. The air feels heavy as he watches you with calculation.
"…So?" His voice is low. "What's this big thing you couldn't say over phone?"
You stand in front of the couch and him with your arms folded. You're too stiff from the nervousness, lowering your gaze.
"Guess just get to it then, huh.." You pause for a moment gathering your thoughts. "I took a test, and well.. Toji.." You look up at him again feeling embarrassed saying it out loud.
"I'm pregnant."
Dead silence.
Toji doesn’t move. Not even a single flinch or gasp from him. He locks his eyes onto yours like he’s trying to see through you and search for some sign that this is just a joke or a mistake. Then slowly his expression shifts and leans forward slightly resting his elbows on his knees.
"…How far along?"
You study him back wondering what's going through his mind since that tone was just way too calm. Since you haven't visited a dr. yet and just found out yourself you dont have an actual answer for him.
"Not far.." You hesitate if whether or not bringing this up is necessary. ".. I have the test on the bathroom counter still to prove I'm not lying.."
Toji stands up quietly and deliberately in that moment. He walks past you toward the bathroom without asking where it is from having your place memorized from all the late-night visits. Then door clicks open and silence falls again.
Moments later he reappears in the doorway holding the test stick between his fingers like it might explode. His gaze drops to read it again- the little plus sign glaring back at him. A long breath leaves him.
You press your lips together more nervous than before. 'Why isn't he saying anything? Is he just as freaked out?' You take a couple of careful steps towards him with your arms folded still.
"Yeah. It's real. And happening."
Toji finally slowly looks up from the test like his brain is rewinding through every night with you to piece this together. The smug bastard who never flinches at anything now has something flickering behind his eyes. He tosses the test to the side not caring where it lands and closes the distance between the two of you, pulling you into a hug. Not in a gentle or sweet way. Just locking his strong arms around your shoulders, crushing you against his chest like he’s anchoring or proving something to himself.
"…Fuck." He spoke lowly into your hair.
Your heart sank. But, what else would you expect though? You subtly nod against him not knowing what to say to that or what's next. Is this all just regret? What to do?
The hug lasts longer than either of you expected. Toji isn’t the type to hold on, usually keeps things casual and detached. But right now? He’s not letting go.
He finally loosens his grip but doesn't pull away. One hand moves up to cup the side of your face and brushes his thumb over your cheek lightly as he studies you again. Softer this time. After a few more seconds he leans in and kisses you.
You close your eyes for a moment before you pull back to look up at him again unsure.
"Are you..?" You don't even know what you're trying or wanting to ask him. Would happy be too stupid?
He doesn't answer right away, resting his thumb on your cheek still while the other now cradles the back of your neck. He stares figuring out what you're really asking. Then exhales that almost sounded amused and smirks genuinely. It's not his usual cocky grin.
"Yeah."
He said it simply that it should've been obvious. As if getting pregnant by him wasn't a life-ruining disaster but just another thing happening. Before you could react further, he kisses you again.
You can feel the warmth in your cheeks. 'Yeah'. You don't feel so alone in this or scared now, kissing him with more confidence.
"It's okay? Everything's gonna be okay?" You murmur against his lips.
Toji rests his forehead against yours, eyes half lidded. This is something rare for him. No sarcasm or deflection.
"…Yeah," he repeats lowly but with certainty. "We'll figure it out."
He slides his hand down from your neck to your stomach- hesitant at first like he’s never touched anyone with such purpose before. Then flattens his palm gently over where the baby is (not that there's anything visible yet). A weird tender moment for a man who usually treats everything like a transaction or a fight. He doesn’t say “I love you” or any sappy shit. This spoke for it.
Your eyes lower down to his hand then back up to him. You kiss him again with a soft smile. You could swear you're already glowing.
"That makes me happy, Daddy."
First time writing Toji. Hope you like.
