Failure {(grown up) Katsuki X Reader}

32

Nightmare had finally stopped poking and prodding in your fears. You were exhausted and drained. Every time you passed out he would use your own fears to wake you up again.

Only a moment ago had it occurred to you to use your quirk, but he kept your mind so occupied by fears that you couldn't concentrate long enough to try. Now despite your exhaustion you tried. You willed it to work and turn into something small enough to slip out of your bindings.

But it didn't work. Even though you were drained you should have been able to do something as simple as a cat, but it didn't work. "That little quirk of your isn't going to work. Surely you didn't think I'd let that slide." Nightmare spoke up from the table he was at in the corner of the room. He let out a chuckle and turned back to you, a small red object in his hand. A cold dread gripped your mind and body as you stared at the little bullet. The small needle on the top gleamed menacingly in the dim light. "So that's also a fear of yours. It's still not good enough. How can taking your quirk away for good not be your worst fear?" Your eyes burned already from crying before hand, so when a new wave of dread washed over you they came again and burned worse.

My quirk- my quirk is gone. You knew Eri could reverse its affects and give you your quirk back, but that was if you ever actually made it out.

So far they'd been in the sewers for hours with no signs of life. The stench almost made Katsuki vomit multiple times. They'd all split off in pares and Katsuki was left with Mina. Who in fact was giving him an absolute migraine with her complaining.

"We should have found her already. I hate this stupid sewer! It's disgusting and gross and, ugh." She complained once again as she stepped in a puddle of unknown fluids. Katsuki only kept walking shining his flashlight straight ahead. Where they were in the sewers was miles away from where you'd been taken in.

"If you keep complaining I'll throw you in and leave you there." Mina gave him a disgusted yet offended look.

"Y/n'd kick your ass if you did!" His grip on his flashlight tightened. He tried to block out the possibility that they might never find you. Statements like the one Mina had just said were getting under his skin and worrying him more than he wanted to. He wanted to see you alive and well in front of him again. Two days, it's only been two days, but that was too long for him. Anything could have happened by now and it was killing him not to know what.

"Hey asshole I'm talking to you!" Minas voice a ways back in the tunnel breaks his train of thought. He turns to look at her and see why she's stopped. "If your so damn intent on finding her maybe try to actually look." She then pointed at a door in the wall. Katsuki pulled out his map of the sewers that marked every tunnel and every door and drain. Once he found where they were he realized that door wasn't supposed to be there.

His heart started racing as he made his way back. He stopped staring at the door and the ground around it. A small trickle of blood led up to the door and disappeared behind it. He tried the doorknob but it was locked. "Melt it." Was all he said to Mina. She looked indignant at his order but did it none the less. He pushed on the door and it gave a loud squeal as it dragged across the stone floor.

"Look you can stop crying alright. I can't crack it, your just useless. If I can only get to the number two hero simply by having you then so be it." He stood walked towards you, and you flinched as he approached. Though he only bent down to make sure your bindings where still tight and unbothered.

You let out a shuddering breath as he exited through a door behind you that you couldn't see. The door you saw in front of you was like a taunt. Just try to escape. It yelled as you stared at it helplessly. You wanted to escape, you wanted to try, but you couldn't force your tired and aching body to even twitch a little.

You finally just hung your head in defeat staring down at your muddy pants. Kat where are you? You said you'd keep me safe. Your eyes burned but you were so dehydrated from crying already that no tears came.

A rattling sound made you flinch. You just knew it had to be nightmare coming back already. But when you glanced up it was the door in front of you. The knob was jiggling then, with a hard shove it moved and opened partially. Then with another shove it was fully open.

There he was, Katsuki, standing in front of you. It was really him. You tried to call his name but the gag muffled any sound you attempted to make. you could see the relief and pain on his face as he made his way over to you. "Your ok. Your alive." He bent down and took your face in his hands as if having to feel you to know it was real. He goes to reach for the gag around your mouth but he stops. You stare at him a question on your face. Then his own face contorts in pain and anger.

Then you finally look him over and see blood pouring from a wound on his abdomen. Your eyes widen and you try to speak to say something, anything. But every scream or sound you made was muffled by the gag. Fear and worry and anger filled you so much that you could barely process the man standing behind Katsuki.

"Dammit, dammit." He swore clutching at the wound. You pull and yank at the bindings on your hands and feet so hard that it hurt but they didn't budge. Katsuki goes to turn around but Nightmare take whatever he had and stabbed at Katsuki again. This time with the angle Katsuki was turned at, it tore right through his throat. Your heart stopped as he dropped to the floor grabbing at his throat attempting to stop the bleeding.

Soon, too soon his hands stop moving, stop trying to stop the blood. Finally gaining your senses back you begin thrashing in your chair. Rage and pain flowed through you so violently. Nightmare moves to you no emotion but glee on his face.

"Go ahead scream for him, he won't hear you now." He says and pulls the gag from your mouth.

"You son of a bitch! I'll fucking kill you!" You scream at the top of your lungs, and spit in his face. He promptly gives you a good punch and your silent as the pain sears through you.

"Look at this. This is your fault. If he hadn't coming looking for you he might still be alive." You stay silent staring at Katsukis too still body. The blood had finally stopped flowing but not because the wounds had clotted. You knew this wasn't your fault. You can't control what a person does but you still felt like had you not gotten close to him again, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Maybe, he wouldn't be lying dead at your feet.

(A/n y'all are gonna hate me but, this is where it's staying for one week. You know how shows do like a mid season break, well I'm doing that with this. I know you hate me but I love you!)
