My Hero Academia Imagines

16 // Tomura Shigaraki // "Protect"

===== (Shiggy's P.O.V)

I anxiously scratched at my neck,

"M-Maybe I could go with you. You know, to protect you." Y/N giggled a little bit,

"I'll be fine, Shiggy." She pulled her mask over her face,

"I'm only gonna be gone for a couple of hours." I followed her to the door,

"Are you sure you don't need me?" I kept scratching at my neck. It started to sting, but I couldn't help it. I was nervous for Y/N to be out by herself. She grabbed my hand, pulling it from my neck,

"I'll be fine." She pulled her mask down and kissed me, smiling before running off. I groaned, starting to scratch at my neck again,

"Without me there, she could get hurt. Then what..." I started pacing,

"Who am I kidding? I'm too weak to protect her. She's so strong by herself... how could I-" I found myself in our bedroom, right in front of the mirror. I looked at myself, tall and lanky. A gust of wind could knock me over. I suddenly struck the mirror, shattering it. I watched the pieces fall to the floor,

"Why can't I be stronger? "

~Y/N's P.O.V~

I stumbled into the hideout, holding my side,

"TOGA!" I collapsed to the floor. She came running in,

"Y/N!" She flipped me over and carried me to the couch. Shiggy came into view,

"Who did this to you?" His eyes were bloodshot. I reached for him, taking my hand off of the gash in my side. A shock of pain made me curl back into myself,

"AH!" Toga came back, holding a first aid kit. Shiggy was watching angrily, his fists balled at his sides,

"Who. Did. This?" I sat up as Toga gauzed the wound,

"Just some random hero. Nothing to worry about." I met Shiggy's eyes. He was livid. He stomped his foot angrily and stormed into the bedroom,

"What's his deal? " Toga finished patching me up,

"All done." I stood, unsteadily walking away. Toga called after me,

"What?! No 'Thank you'?!" I flipped her off over my shoulder. She grumbled quietly. I slammed into Shiggy and I's bedroom. I took in the scene in front of me. The room was a mess. He was pacing on the carpet. The mirror was shattered. The sheets were torn and tossed across the floor. The bathroom door had been disintegrated. The bedposts had been as well. My mouth went agape in disbelief,

"Shiggy... What the fuck did you do?" I fully entered,

"What is your deal?!" He whirled around to face me,

"What's my problem?! I have the prob-" He was towering over me. I tried my best not to completely fall apart in fear but it was difficult. He stopped and took a step back. His breathing had picked up and he was holding his hands away from me. There was a beat of just silent staring. He groaned and started scratching his neck,

"I wasn't there to protect you. And you got hurt." The scratching was slowly getting more intense. I scoffed,

"I'm fine on my own. I don't need to be protected." I limped to the bathroom and stripped the rest of the way. I looked up and caught a glance of Shiggy in the mirror, still aggressively scratching his neck,

"But I could've done something about it. I'm gonna kill that dumb hero." He balled his fists. His neck started to bleed a little. I brushed past him,

"I don't need protecting. I can handle myself." He growled,

"But you're hurt now."

"So?"

"I could've-" I held my hand up,

"No. You couldn't have." He stopped,

"What do you mean?" I snatched his hand from his neck,

"Stop fucking doing that. You're bleeding." He looked at his fingers, taking in the blood smeared across them. As soon as I let go, he reflexively went back to scratching,

"What do you mean, I couldn't've?" I pulled on lounge clothes and sighed,

"Never mind." He stamped his foot,

"No, no, no!" He backed me against the wall with his hand pressed against my neck, suddenly viscously livid,

"You think I can't protect you?" He was towering over me, inches away from disintegrating me. I remained as calm as possible,

"Shiggy, get off of me. Now." He pressed harder against my windpipe,

"Answer me!" I suddenly couldn't breathe,

"Shiggy-" He pressed harder,

"You think I'm too weak? Well, who's weak now?" He sneered down at me,

"Look at you. Helpless. At my disposal. Vulnerable." He gently touched all 5 fingers to my throat. I screamed in pain,

"Stop it! Get off of me!" I could feel the actual disintegration start. I grabbed his wrist and shoved him off of me as hard as I could, driving my shoulder into his sternum,

"What the fuck, Shiggy?" I gently rubbed my throat,

"What is your problem?!" I made sure he hadn't actually started disintegrating me. Once I confirmed I was fine, I shoved past him,

"You have some nerve talking about protecting me." I touched my neck and cringed at the thought of him actually hurting me with his quirk. Something he'd promised he'd never do. He reached for me,

"Y/N, I'm s-" I smacked his hand away,

"No." I noticed tears were welling up in my eyes,

"You promised you would never use your quirk on me. You. Promised." I sniffed and wiped my tears. I walked out without another word. He followed me,

"Y/N, please-" I got to the door and grabbed the handle,

"No." I forced my hand off of my neck,

"We're over, Shiggy." His face dropped,

"Y/N, don't-" His voice broke,

"Please..." I fought my tears,

"I love you Shiggy, I really do. But you broke the one promise you knew could literally kill me. That's something I can't forgive. No matter the context." 

~Shiggy's P.O.V~

And with that she rushed out before I could beg her not to. I dropped to my knees and screamed. And screamed. And screamed until I couldn't anymore. My voice went hoarse before Toga and Dabi came out. Toga dropped beside me,

"What happened? Where's Y/N?" I couldn't even speak. I just cried until I could force out the one thing I had hoped I would never have to say,

"She's gone."
