TW !
two small paragraphs depicting kidnapping and one for subtle torture references.

after a long day of training you decided to hit the hay earlier than you usually would and after arguing with your classmates that you truly did not want to marathon harry potter with them you found yourself in comfortable pajamas and on the cool mattress that was waiting for you since you left that morning.

it was hot in your dorm yet you pulled the covers over your body because it gave you a sense of security. when you got into a comfortable position you closed your eyes and started to drift off.

"take the calmer one away." shigaraki commanded, pointing at you before turning on his heel and walking into the dark.

"NO! NO, LET ME GO! LET ME GO! BAKUGOU! NO, PLEASE!" you screamed at the top of your lungs as you thrashed around in your seat trying to free yourself. your eyes started to water but you pushed them back so you wouldn't look weak.

your head snapped back to look at bakugou who had genuine panic in his eyes as he stared at you before the door was shut on both of your faces.

you stirred, rubbing your eyes before getting comfortable again.

another scream ripped through your throat before shigaraki pulled his hand away from your arm.

a man behind purple smoke spoke. "the kid's not going to tell you what you want."

shigaraki scratched his neck, thinking.

"toga." he gestured at you and the blonde grinned sinisterly.

your voice was done for from your screaming and your face and neck were cold as the cold air hit the wet skin.

"please, don't." you croaked but your words were dismissed and through your distorted vision you saw something silver and shiny, heart sinking as you immediately knew what was about to happen.

you drew in a deep gasping breath as you snapped awake, pushing the blanket off of your hot, sweat covered body. you sat in the dark and the only thing to be heard was your panting.

you immediately got up and rushed out of your door, choosing to seek comfort in someone you had various times before.

when you made it up to the familiar doors you walked past a certain blonde's dorm and you stopped walking, debating on going here instead but you shook your head.

ever since the incident, you and bakugou had gotten closer. it was probably trauma bonding but you two still bonded nonetheless. he stopped being a dick to you completely and got nicer toward his classmates even if it was just a little bit. the two of you sometimes subconsciously sat together away from everyone and just enjoyed the silence.

you continued walking until you were met with a door that was entirely familiar to you and your knuckles tapped against the wood.

after no answer you knocked again and then it hit you, they were all out marathoning a series. you were about to turn and leave until you heard the door open and a soft voice say "y/n?"

you turned and izuku was standing in just sweats, he was probably getting dressed when you knocked you assumed. after a couple seconds of standing there you had burst into tears and wrapped your arms around a shocked izuku who returned the hug.

he didn't bother asking the usual "are you okay?" question because obviously you weren't, instead, he shuffled backwards with you still in his arms and kicked the door shut.

the only time he let go was so that he could get into his bed and pat the spot next to him. you crawled in next to him and put your arms around him. izuku slung his arm around you and pulled you closer to him. "it's okay y/n. im here, you're safe." he cooed and softly stroked your hair. you nodded and took a shaky breath, nuzzling your face in his chest and soon your breathing calmed.

"try to sleep, you need it. i'll be right here when you wake up."
