⚠️Trigger Warning: Open Surgery, Pain, Blood (Nothing too graphic, just wanted to add a warning for those who are squeamish)

The fluorescent lights almost burned through your skin as you starred up clenching your teeth until they cracked. The blinding pain from yet another experiment. Sometimes you truly believed you were going to die. Losing consciousness every time and seeing the only person you wish could be there with you at the moment.

It was always him.

"We are making great progress, (Y/N)!" Stoker would cheer. He seemed in better sorts lately. You hoped it was due to him finally having a breakthrough with your cure. But he'd never say. He kept you in the dark most of the time.

"So what are you going to do to me this time? I'm kind of tired of you cutting me open."

He chuckled darkly as he continued collecting your blood and subtracting the venom from it. "Vampire blood is very tricky to work with, you know. It's as if it's got a mind of it's own. Only letting me extract when it wants me to." He began to explain. "But when it's mostly oxidized it calms. Because it's weakened. That, my dear, is why I must have you cut open like this."

You cringed at the thought. You never thought of your blood in such a way. But thinking back, it did have some sort of control over you when it came to your thirst. Sometimes you'd lose yourself.

"You have some of the strongest blood I've seen too. The venom has taken almost complete control over you. It's rare that it hasn't yet and it's been this long. You've got a strong heart whether it's beating or not."

He grabbed a magnifying glass and began dissecting it under the bright lights. You tried your hardest not to shake from the pain but you were uncontrollably trembling.

"C..can we... maybe hurry this up? I don't think I'll last any longer."

"Patience, my dear. I'm searching for something inside your blood. A specific coding of the venom that is crucial to finding you your cure." He hushed focusing in hard.

"I just want to be human again..."

Shigaraki barged in to check up on the progress. He seemed irritated. He didn't want you to change.

"You're perfectly fine the way you are. It's those heroes. They're the problem."

You'd just ignore his words. But when he spoke to you, it was never the way he spoke to anyone else. It was softer. Almost gentler. Like he didn't want to spook you away.

"How's it going in here?" He asked seeing your trembling body on the cold table. You looked like death.

"Ah! Shigaraki! Welcome in! You almost made me slice this young lady in half the way you barged in here," he laughed. "Open surgery is very serious. Not to be disturbed and shouldn't be contaminated. Luckily, this isn't a normal surgery setting and our patient isn't a normal patient."

Shigaraki walked up to you as you stared up at the ceiling. Trying to focus on counting the panels to keep from thinking about the pain. He gently grazed his hand along your still slightly burned arm. Causing you to flinch from his touch. It hadn't healed completely from Dabi's burn.

"What happened here?"

You glanced at him and tried to lift your arm. It was no use. You were incredibly weakened. "Oh, you know, just another run in with Dabi. It was my fault, it'll heal."

He glared down at the burn and the closed his eyes and sighed. "It won't happen again."

Did he feel bad?
