~Chapter 5~

YN stirred from her sleep as she felt warm arms wrapped around and her holding her close. Realizing it was Fatgum who was holding her, she felt her face flush brightly "eh... w-what are..."

Fatgum opened his eyes and glanced down at YN. "I am still suffering from blood loss and it's cold... So right now you are my hot water bottle"

YN's eyes looked away as she gave a small nod of understanding. She was exhausted as well so she let herself drift back off to sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next time she woke up. It was to the smell of porridge being heated on the small stove in the room. Rising from the bed, she found her hands uncuffed "Finally awake huh..." Fatgum's back was to her as he stirred the porridge. YN saw on the table a bunch of medical supplies and that both Fatgum's wound had been rebandaged as well as her arm. "How's your wound?"

Seriously that's the first thing you ask?

"It's not a big deal... Even if you hadn't done anything I would've survived... So yea.. it was kinda pointless...." Fatgum glanced back at YN and saw her dejected face. "Kidding... You stopping the bleeding and using that healing quirk of yours saved my bacon"

Fatgum moved in front of YN with a bowl of porridge in hand. "Thank you" Offering the bowl to her, Fatgum's eyes seemed to inspect her to see if she was any worse for wear. "Can ya eat? It's my first time so I don't know if it's any good... Still, it's better than nothing..."

YN stared at the bowl and let a small laugh escape her lips. "Hey.. what are you laughing at?" YN held a small smirk as she stared up at Fatgum. "you're being gentle all of the sudden...It's kinda funny really..."

Fatgum glared at her before looking away embarrassed "I don't care what you think of me. I still gotta thank you!"

YN shrugged as she took a bite of the porridge and found it had no flavor. "It's tasteless...."

Fatgum shrugged and scratched the back of his head. "Must be because of the fever... Get some more sleep after you eat it... I won't sleep with someone whose sick, so hurry up and get better so I can get back to fucking you..." He turned around his eyes widened when he saw those damn broken tears once again falling from her eyes. "Hey... don't tell me it was so good that it moved ya to tears.."

Wiping the tears away from her face YN shook her head. "No...It's just... I thought I couldn't save anyone anymore... I'm terrified to let people know about my healing quirk because I saw how those with healing quirks are treated. My best friend... She killed herself over her healing quirk..." She looked up at Fatgum and gave a half-hearted smile "So... hearing I was able to help you..."

"Hey... In return for saving me...I owe ya a favor so... I'll let ya leave here.." YN's eyes widened in surprise as Fatgum rested a hand on her cheek and wiped away the rest of her tears. "To tell ya the truth ... I was gonna kill ya but I changed my mind... So whatever you wanna do, I'll accept anything you want from me.."

YN's eyes were downcast so she failed to notice that Fatgum's eyes darkened as he waited for her response.

Say it...Say you don't want to die... Say you wanna leave that you wanna run away...That you want help...Say it so I can kill you without hesitation and move on from this... Say it so I can be free of you and the things you're making me feel...

YN stared up at Fatgum and felt herself chuckle a little. "You know... It's funny... I had a dream... You were a hero... and I worked with you at your agency.. We were one of the best support teams out there... It wasn't a perfect world but it was still wonderful and fun... A  nice dream in my opinion..."

Fatgum stared at her in shock. Of all things he expected to hear; this was not one of them. "What...Hey, what are you talking about?"

YN looked directly into Fatgum's eyes and with a small smile. "I think... You would be better as a hero.."

Fatgum just stared at YN and felt himself start to laugh cruelly.

"Are you crazy...ha ha ha ha ha... Seriously it's hilarious that you think I can be a hero... But the truth is I can't be a hero!! I am one of the most brutal and cruel bastards out there... I mean seriously do you have any idea how many people I have killed... I am Fatgum the Villian... so don't say stupid things like that" The last part came out as an anguished rage-filled cry as Fatgum gripped tightly onto YN and glared down at her.

YN reached her arms out and rested them on Fatgum's cheeks. "Then why.... why are you making such a face?" She stared deeply into his eyes and saw anguish and sorrow as he bit his lip to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. " Hey... Fatgum... I will say you're very gentle... "Can't I save you? Can I support you?"

If YN had anything else to say she was cut off as Fatgum shook her hands off him and pushed her down to the bed; covering her mouth to quiet her. "Shut up! You're just saying that to gain my trust... So I don't kill you!" Climbing on top of her and resting his hands on either side of her head. He glared down at her in suspicion. While YN was shocked she still called out to Fatgum.

"If you want to kill me... You can.. I've accepted it was going to happen eventually but... Will you listen to my wish just once..?" Reaching out to wrap her arms around Fatgum's neck YN looked up at him with pleading eyes. "Please... Make me your last kill and don't kill people anymore.."

Fatgum just stared down at YN and her damn gentleness. An angel to the bitter end. He gritted his teeth in agitation as he felt that warm kindness embrace him. He hated it but oh how he loved it just as much.

"Are you an idiot... No one cares about someone after they die... Nothing is more important than one's own life!" This woman, she just kept pushing all these feelings into him that he had thought long dead. It scared him.

Fatgum winced as YN deepened her embrace. "You're wrong... I think I've lived long enough if I left proof of my life in you..."

Fatgum was confused by her words. "What do you mean proof of your life...?"

YN rested her face in Fatgum's chest and sighed. "Earlier I said my friend died from high expectations of having a healing quirk. everyone expected her to be perfect and after one mistake she was treated so badly... She killed herself but... The truth is I could have saved her with mine... Out of fear I've kept that part of my quirk hidden because I didn't want to be treated like her... I've lived with regret ever since..."

Falling back onto the bed, YN stared up at the ceiling. "Of course, I am scared of dying but... I'm more afraid of regret... Going back to how things were... I can't save anyone anymore but still... I don't want any regrets..." YN looked up at Fatgum and smiled. "Fatgum... Please be proof of my life.."

Fatgum stared back down at YN and gave her one of his cocky grins as he moved his hands to wrap around her slender neck as she closed her eyes accepting her fate "Okay... Since you're asking so nicely I will... It's only gonna take a second to snap that pretty little neck of yours..."
