Shigaraki Tomura

Regrets?

"Hey Tomura?" you asked, holding his hand.

"Hmm?" he answered absentmindedly, staring at the sight in front of him.

"Do you have... regrets?"

"About what?" he asked and turned to look at you.

The two of you had broken into the aquarium in the middle of the night and you had somehow managed to turn on the lights in the tanks. You were standing in front of one of the bigger tanks, with the soft blue light illuminating the two of you.

"I don't know, anything? About what happened to some of the other League members? Something you did or didn't do? Maybe... me?"

"No, not really, maybe I wish some things would've gone differently, maybe some of the people who died didn't have to, but no, I don't exactly regret any of it" he said, turning his gaze back to the tank.

There was something in the way he said it that made you think he wasn't quite being honest with you, or even himself, but it didn't seem wise to push the subject.

"What about me?" you asked, trying to make him answer the question you were actually curious about.

"What about you?" he asked.

"I just feel like maybe it wouldn't have ended up like this if you hadn't met me. I guess I kinda blame myself for you almost ending up dead, because you had to protect me. So I was wondering if you hate me for it"

He whipped his head around to look at you with an expression you couldn't really decipher. Maybe it was anger towards you, maybe just irritation that you'd brought up the subject at all.

"Nevermind, forget about it" you said, trying to pull away from him, but he tightened the grip he had on your hand, not letting you go.

"You don't wanna hear what my answer would be?" he asked, and you stopped trying to pull away from him.

"To be honest, I don't know..." you said, but took the few steps back to him anyway.

"You're gonna hear it anyway. To answer, no I don't regret meeting you or how things ended up. Sure I would've been fucking pissed at you if I ended up dead, but that wouldn't really have mattered then would it. I would've been much angrier if you would have ended up dead though"

"So you don't hate me for it?" you asked to reassure yourself.

"What the fuck did I just say? Of course I don't" he growled and pulled you into a hug.

Shigaraki wasn't really sure why you were asking him this, but he didn't want you to think he hated you. Sure you might annoy him sometimes and he certainly made it known when it happened, but he didn't think it was possible for him to ever hate you.

"Tomu-Tomura, you're suffocating me" you said while being muffled by his hoodie, because he was hugging you so tightly

Shigaraki loosened his hold on you and turned so your back was to his chest and you were looking at the tank. He rested his chin on your shoulder and you two just.

"Do you regret... meeting me?" he asked quietly after a while.

"No, maybe I wish you wouldn't cause me to worry about you so much with your way of life, but no, I don't regret it" you said softly and kissed him on the cheek.

"Good" he said and took his turn to kiss you on the cheek.

You chuckled and just pulled him along with you to look at the next tank.

"Maybe this is what it's like to feel happy" was the thought that crossed Shigaraki's mind, as he looked at your smiling face and a small grin appeared on his face as well.
