Sound N' Jack

Chapter Forty-three: Love floats

" Stop!!!"

He frantically looked around. A dim light came from the window next to him. Overall, taking more looks, the room he was in looked unfamiliar. The rest was dark.

He got up from the bed, trembling and sweaty. He stumbled to the window and shoved the curtains aside. The dim light was the moon shining barely through the slivers of the curtain. Night time is the first thought.

Was it a nightmare, he thought to himself, shutting the curtain shut, back to its original position. He sat on the bed, his legs shook. He tried to forget the nightmare he had, enabling him to fall asleep again. Yet, it stood strong in his mind. Then it hit him.

He shot back up and went to the light switch in a timely fashion. Turning it on, he peeked at his arms. Large scar drew down both, the right longer than the left. This only sent more fear into his veins. It had happened, the " pleasure".

He touched the scar; it did not sting in the process. Was it fully healed? Of course not, it wasn't that long since the event, right?

His mind was everywhere, he could not remember. Camp, kidnapped, " pleasured", then blank. Nothing came up after the torture. It was a black emptiness.

He opened the door to his room; black hallway. Was he not at his home? He stepped out, trying to found his way through. He came across an open area.

Kitchen, living room, and dining table. Memories filled In; the dormitory. Was that where he was? It was oddly familiar.

The sound of stepping came from behind him. As he turned to see, it bumped into his chest. He stumbled back, yet the person didn't move much.

" H-Huh... what the-" he narrowed his eyes, then the full picture was there. " M-Mina...?"

The acidic girl rubbed her eyes and Scrunched them, " Izuku? What are you doing this late?"

" I-I could say the same to you." He said.

The girl looked awfully tired to be up this late. Yet she answered with," I woke to some loud screech and decided to check what it was. "

He scratched the back of his head and slightly looked away," That might've been me... s-sorry to wake you."

" It's fine, " she then yawned, " Do you wanna talk about what caused that?"

The boy tensed up, the memory was something he did not wanna bring up. Yet something told him that sharing it may be for the better.

" A-are you sure?"

" Of course dummy, that's what friends are for." She rolled her eyes and smiled. She then walked over to the couch and waves him over.

He sat down next to the girl, at that moment he noticed. She wasn't fully clothed. A loose t-shirt and just underwear. He averted his eyes, looking straight forward.

She laid back then glanced at him, " Ready?"

He nodded and began. " I had a nightmare. It was the night I was captured. Then tortured by this girl. I could feel the pain she had brought me, " he looked at the scars on his arms, " yet, the more I screamed, the worse it had gotten. ".

His eyes filled with tears, he dipped his head. He gripped his knees and let the tears fall. Ashido stared at him, then putting her hand on his arm.

The green stopped, then looking down at his arm. She leaned into his view then smiled reassuringly, " it's okay. You're safe now right? She's not here to hurt you.". She moved her hand and spread out her arms, " if you need to let out those tears, go ahead. I'm here for you."
