Izuku Midoriya x Reader - Night Terrors

Trigger warning: blood/gore

"Reader!" Deku cried, closing the distance between you and him in only a few long strides.  "Why...?  What did I do to deserve this from you!?"  Tears were spilling down his cheeks, but there was a certain look in his eyes.... one that spelled trouble.

"I-Izu, I swear, I don't know what you're talking about-!"  Your sentence was cut short by Izuku roughly clasping a hand over your mouth, rendering you silent as you tried to struggle, but to no avail.

"Don't give me that, look!  Look at what you've done to me.." Izuku said, lifting his shirt to reveal a large, bleeding stab wound straight through his chest.  "This..." he took a shaky breath, "this is what you've done.....  This is what you're doing!"  His voice came out as almost a shout this time, pain and anger lacing his words as they slipped from his tongue.  "You're hurting me, Reader!"

You were still unable to speak due to Deku's hand still being over your mouth, so you tried to move it, inching your fingers between his and your face.  Deku seemed to realize what you were doing and pressed your head back against a wall behind you, pushing his hand harder against your face.

"Do you honestly think I'm going to allow you to speak?  After everything that's happened?"  There was a new look replacing the previous pain in the green-haired boy's eyes.  A look that made you afraid for whatever was to come.

He leaned in close, making your breath hitch in your throat as the scent of tears and blood grew ever stronger.  You tried to jerk your head away, attempting to scream for him to stop, scream his name, scream something.  But Izuku's grip on your face tightened, forcing you to stare into his big green eyes.

"It's time to wake up...." he whispered in your ear with an almost insane smile on his face, tears starting to spill from his eyes as he brought a knife out from behind his back and inching it towards you.  "Wake up...."

"Wake up.....  Please, wake up.......!"

"Wake up!" Izuku shouted, shaking you desperately.  You jolted upwards with a startled gasp, grabbing the poor boy by the collar of his shirt and raising a fist, ready to protect yourself.

"W-w-wait!!" he squeaked, holding his hands up between the two of you.  "It's me!"

You halted, freezing in your tracks as you stared at who you currently had within your grasp.  You quickly let go and scrambled backwards, apologizing to your boyfriend of almost two years.  Izuku had tear stains on his cheeks, with fresh tears welling up in his eyes.

"A-are you ok?" he asked worriedly as he crawled forward on the bed, holding your trembling shoulders with gentle hands.  "You were crying and squirming in your sleep, mumbling 'stop, please,' louder and louder, before you screamed my name.  I was trying to wake you, but you kept trying to pry away."

You laid your forehead on Izuku's shoulder, tears stinging the corners of your eyes as they slowly began their descent down your cheeks.  Your boyfriend noticed this and encircled his arms around you, giving you a gentle squeeze to try and comfort you.  You returned the embrace, clutching onto the back of his shirt as you cried harder, shaking violently from the dream you had just experienced.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Izuku asked, rubbing your back slowly.  You whimpered and he started to ramble nervously.  "I-I mean, we don't have to, if you don't want to.  L-let's just do what you want, o-ok?"

"No, it's ok.... I want to talk about it." You spoke slowly and quietly, squeezing your adorable boyfriend to help shut him up.  After he fell silent, you started to explain your dream.  You didn't see how Izuku's eyes grew wide at times, or notice how he seemed to tighten his grip on you protectively as you grew nearer toward the end of your nightmare.

After you had finished describing your nightmare, Izuku pulled your head back and planted a soft kiss to your trembling lips, slowly cupping your cheek in one of his scarred hands.

"Oh, Reader.... it was only a dream, ok?  I know, it must've been terrifying... and I know you must still be scared, but there's no reason to be, I promise!" Izuku reassured you once you two had pulled away for air.  Your foreheads rested against each other's lovingly, just desperate for contact in that moment.

The two of you stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity, until a sleepy Izuku's yawn broke the previously still silence.  You chuckled at him and felt his face grow warm, indicating that he was blushing.  You pulled away and looked up at him, a small smile gracing your features.

"Heh, s-sorry..." Izuku apologized, rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish smile of his own.  "I guess I'm kind of tired."

It was your turn to stifle a yawn this time, earning a calmer smile from your boyfriend as he gripped one of your hands.  "Let's try to get some rest for as long as we can, ok?"  He started to lay back down before realizing you weren't following.  "R-Reader?" he questioned, concerned.

"I-.... I don't think I want t-to sleep." you said, shyly looking away from your boyfriend's loving and understanding gaze.  God, why did he have to look so adorable all the time?  You felt a pair of strong arms wrap themselves around your waist, pulling you down next to their owner.

"It's ok... I've got you.  You're safe." Izuku mumbled, eyes already closed as he pulled you into his chest, keeping a protective grip on you.

You couldn't help but smile.  You gratefully accepted your boyfriend's cute reassurance, snuggling into his warm body as you felt your own eyelids grow heavy.  You listened to the rhythmic beat of Izuku's heart as you felt your whole body relax under his embrace, your mind quieting down as you reminded yourself of his words.

You soon welcomed the sleep the loomed above you, falling under it's relaxing spell as your breath evened out, feeling completely safe in your boyfriend's arms as you went to join him in the land of the dreaming.
