Should I or shouldn't I?

That was the only question in your mind as you stared at a rather large container in the corner of your boyfriend's room from where you sat in his bed. The top was open slightly and only piqued your curiosity.

I shouldn't snoop through his stuff. He'll get so mad! But I really wanna know what's in there...

Ushijima was still in the shower, and your curiosity was just took great not to see what was in the container. You leapt off his bed and darted across the room before sitting down beside the container and peering inside.

You gasped when you saw that the container was filled with stuffed toys. Giggling softly, you picked out a few plushies and realized that all of them were farm animals, which only made it more difficult for you to contain yourself.

A giant and scary dude like Wakatoshi has a collection of plushies?! This is gold! you thought as you examined the stuffed toys.

You were so busy looking through his old plushies that you didn't notice him emerge from the bathroom. "(F/n), what are you doing?" you heard him ask, making your entire body freeze in place.

You whirled around to face him, your (e/c) eyes wide as you gazed into his unchanging brown ones. His expression was hard to gauge, and you wondered what he was feeling.

"What are you doing with Bessie?" he murmured and walked over to you. You were already blushing intensely and the fact that he was only wearing a pair of sweats didn't help you calm down at all.

He sat down beside you and took the plush cow out of your hands before setting it down in his lap. "I-I'm sorry, Wakatoshi!" you cried quickly, "I... I just saw this huge container sitting over here and I couldn't help but feel curious as to what was inside..."

Ushijima looked over at you before pressing a gentle kiss against your forehead and saying, "I'm not mad. I knew you'd look through it eventually since you're so nosy." You looked away sheepishly and puffed out your cheeks.

"Well, would you mind explaining to me why there's a giant tub of plushies in your room, then?" you asked, "And who's Bessie?"

Ushijima brushed his slightly wet hair away from his face and gestured to the cow he had taken from you. "This is Bessie," he told you, "and the reason why this container is here is because I'm going to sell the collection of farm animal plushies I have."

You smirked as you reached out towards him and pinched his cheek. "Aww, you're so cute! I can't believe someone like you would have a bunch of adorable stuffed toys!" He growled softly and moved your hand off of his face. "Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of cows in here..."

"I used to have a bit of an... obsession with cows and farm animals. Don't ask why. Anyway, I need to take these back down to the living room so I can take them to that nearby elementary school tomorrow," he replied, his voice a low murmur. He always talked like that whenever he was embarrassed, and it was pretty cute.

"That's so sweet of you!" you commented, feeling your heart warm. You never really thought of Ushijima being that soft deep down inside, but you thought this side of him was adorable whenever it showed. He started to close the container, but you stopped him when you realized he'd forgotten something. "What about Bessie?!"

You noticed a faint blush dust his cheeks as he looked over at the cow. "I'm... keeping her," he mumbled, "She was a gift from my grandmother for my fifth birthday."

You smiled as you looked at Bessie before watching Ushijima pick up the container and hurry out of the room. He was obviously embarrassed, and you couldn't help but think that it was pretty funny. Once he'd left the room, you picked Bessie up and looked at her slightly worn down features before setting her down on Ushijima's bedside table.

"So cute."
