Baby, How Do You Sleep when you lie to me?

All that shame and all that danger

I'm hoping that my love will keep you up tonight

- from How Do You Sleep? By Sam Smith


"You're supposed to be in jail!" you managed to gasp out, panic gripping every inch of your body.

You recognized the man in front of you. How could you not? Your husband had saved you from him before the two of you had started dating. You could remember the terror like it was yesterday.

Your flip flops slapped against the stone as you ran for your life. You seemed to have terrible luck, as this wasn't the first time you had found yourself in this situation. You risked a glance over your shoulder and shuddered when you saw the large, muscular man gaining on you.

He finally caught up, gripping your shoulders so tightly that it hurt. You let out a sob, feeling helpless in his grasp. Was he going to kill you? Or worse?

Then, your savior appeared. A man in a white hoodie jumped down from the roof above you, his dark hair billowing in the wind. Tentacles shot out of his hand and wrapped around the man with ease. He struggled for a moment then gave up, shouting obscenities at the hero.

"You're safe now," the man told you valiantly.

"Who are you?" you asked.

"Suneater is my hero name, but you can call me Tamaki."

That wasn't the first time Tamaki had saved your life. It seemed like you were always getting in trouble. And now, here you were, in a grocery store facing the muscular man who had chased you down about a year ago. Had he been released from jail or did he escape somehow?

The man looked down at you for a second, then laughed, "Oh, I remember you."

He didn't seem angry at you for getting him put in jail. You stared at him, still shaking in your boots.

"Look, I'm not a bad guy. Just an actor," he shrugged.

"An... actor?" You asked, confused.

"Yeah, some hero paid me to pretend to chase you and pretend to be caught. He paid some good money too."

Your heart stuttered in your chest. The man's words didn't seem to process in your mind. Had Tamaki actually paid someone to chase you?

Now that you thought about it, there were red flags everywhere. Why was it that Tamaki was always the one to save you and not some other hero? Why were the villains always caught before they could do anything to you?

You felt sick. You had fallen in love with Tamaki because he was your hero. You had been the one to ask him out, considering he was so shy, but he was the one who had proposed.

Was everything you knew about your husband a lie? It certainly felt like it.

"Do you know if he paid anyone else?" You asked.

"Tons of the people in my acting troupe, yeah," the man shrugged, "Wait, you didn't know?"

You were shaking for a whole new reason now- anger, "Thank you for telling me."

The whole way to your home (groceries forgotten) you thought of more and more suspicious things Tamaki had done. Why had the attacks stopped the minute you started dating him? Easy, you thought, because he got what he wanted.

Well he wasn't going to get anything more from you. You were like a whirlwind, flying around the apartment, stuffing all of your things into a big suitcase. You didn't have much time before Tamaki finished his shift and you needed to be gone before then.

You hauled the suitcase off the bed and through the door, opting to use the elevator instead of the stairs. The entire time you remained on edge, afraid that Tamaki might pop up any moment.

You booked a hotel room under a fake name and left your apartment behind for good.

—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tamaki returned home and found it empty. That was strange- you were always home when he got there. Upon closer inspection, he found nothing. All of your stuff was completely gone.

The first thought that crossed his mind was a real villain attack, but, once he calmed down just enough to think clearly, he realized you had probably left him.

But why? Hadn't he done everything right? Hadn't he been a good husband?

He went back to his agency, acting as though he wasn't up to anything. In reality, he wanted to use their computers to track you down. It didn't matter that you had used a fake name, he was able to pick up your face on the hotel cameras. Being a hero came in handy.

Tamaki ran the whole way to the hotel, heart pounding in his chest as he reached your door. He knocked lightly on the door and you opened it. You looked like a mess, with mascara running down your cheeks and swollen eyes.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" Tamaki asked, horrified by your misery.

"Stay away from me!" You screamed, "I know what you did! You pretended to be my hero when you were really just paying people to attack me! Do you realize how badly that affected me? How many nightmares I had of those people?"

Tamaki swallowed thickly, unsure of how to handle this. He never expected you to find out the truth. He'd been so careful!

"I want nothing to do with you," You snarled, "I'll be filling out divorce papers tomorrow."

Tamaki froze, "Y-you can't! I love you, (Y/n)!"

"I thought I loved you too," you said, choking on more tears, "But apparently I didn't know you."

Tamaki forced open your door, making you jump back with a squeak, "You can't divorce me," he said, his voice stronger than it had ever been.

"Yes, I can. And I will!" You snapped.

"No, you won't," Tamaki said, tentacles shooting from his hand and wrapping tightly around you, "You'll be coming home."

He smiled sweetly, "And you won't be leaving."
