Why? ( Shigaraki Tomura x reader)

Chapter 12

Life was getting harder to stand.

You were becoming happy over the days you didn't have to act on crimes to " spreed" Shigaraki's ideas around the world. But, you were still aching for sense of hope and freedom.

Yet you wanted Shigaraki to come with, or at least to stay with him. But he was already too far gone, you had to stay. You couldn't leave.

A tear drop fell down your eye, your eyes blinking, wiping your check and inspecting your fingers. You raised a brow, rubbing your eyes as the door behind you opened.

You turned, seeing Shigaraki walking in, flopping onto the bed. You turned, watching as he looked up at the celling with a tired look.

" what's wrong?" You we're quick to question as you stood, making your way to the low sitting bed. You took a seat right where his head laid so you could easily comfort him if needed.

" tired" you looked away from his red eyes, nodding in understanding.

" So... what have you been up to?" He closes his eyes. " preparing for a new mission...." He paused, hesitating. He had to chose his words carefully.

He needed your help, nothing extreme, only to calm a certain person down.

" I need your help with it" your breath hitched as you gripped at your clothes, his eyes noticing it from his laying position.

" I just need you to calm someone down, will that be alright with you?" You nodded, at least he wasn't having you murder someone.

" I think I can handle it" he closes his eyes in relaxation, glad that you were able to do it.

He knew you would say yes, but he didn't want to second guess himself.

Besides that- he felt your fingers reach into his hair, massaging his scalp. He opens his eyes, seeing you looking at him with a soothing look.

" I think you need rest" he sighs, slightly moving so his head could be laying on your lap. You became flustered once he settled down, closing his eyes as his breath slowed down.

Shigaraki was gone again when you woke up. And it caused you to frown, you wish he would stay in bed with you longer.

The blanket that covered you was grasped by your tired hands. You huffed, closing your eyes once more.

You were lost.

You had no idea what the next mission, or event he was going to do next. Nor were you prepared for what the outcome will be.

Honestly, you weren't ready.

Your thoughts were interrupted when the door to the room opened to Shigaraki with a bag in his hands.

It seemed like he went out to do some shopping, but he only gave you a small glance before throwing the bag at you.

You raised a brow as you sat up, the bag laying on your lap as Shigaraki sat at the edge of the bed.

He pulled his black hood down, watching as you looked at him and the bag.

" what's this?" He shrugs, " just open it" you nervously smile.

You open it to discover a stuffed animal, having you gasp as you yanked it out.

You remembered it very quickly- it was one you saw on your first "date", you wanted it , but didn't want to ask Shigaraki for it.

A big smile reached your lips as you held it close before looking toward him.

" How did you know?" You quickly question which he stares blankly at you. " I just knew" you raised a brow before giggling.

Before he could even comprehend what was happing, you were hugging him as you gave him a quick peck on the check before lightly blushing. " thank you!" You grinned.

His once quickly closed eyes now opened, looking at you with a loving look. He smiles.

" Anything for you"

" any questions about the trip?"

Silence filled the classroom.

" Okay, that's all for today"

And like that, the room was filled with excited talking.

Yet Aizawa was tired.

It's been a long while since he had thought of you, and man, how much the house was quiet without you.

He wishes he had you back.

And Shigaraki wishes he could keep you.
