'Just Another Love Story'

Chapter 21

"Iida!" Akamine tried to wake him, seeing as the other was asleep and distressed. He had been trying for a good while but nothing was working out.

Only 30 minutes earlier, Akamine walked out of that bathroom to find something going on. Tenya was moving a lot, switichings sides every minute of what looked of discomfort. His face was scrunched in panic, fear, anxiety, clearly unable to be waken up on his own. He was trying for 15 of those minutes to wake him up, his efforts were meer nothing to what actually needed to be done.

"Ok, time for plan B, wake him up by total force!" Plan A was to be gentle and not slapping him but it was clear to throw that out the window.

Akamine did the next best thing he could do, he pinned down each of Tenya's limbs so he wouldn't continue to twist and turn, but also started to use his quirk to bring him slowly awake.

Or too fast, those do happen sometimes.

Meanwhile, in Tenya's mind, it was like drowning in a lake. The same words continued to echo around him in darkness as he was curled up in a ball, the 'ground' containing some puddles of teared water. It was like a swarm of killer bees buzzing around, letting you know that they will kill you, but they are waiting for the perfect time to do so.

"Iida."

He stopped, recognizing the fimilar voice. He wasn't sure how he heard it through everything but he did, but then everything around him vainshed suddenly.

"Iida!"

He was still stuck to the ground, but his eyes darted around to look for the source of who was calling him. He could see nothing of who or what it was but then something was shining in the distance. It was yelling at him, something, he could barely hear it. The voice slowly got louder, until it was audible enough for him to hear.

"Wake up! Don't let it get to you!"

Next thing he knew, something dragged him across the ground. He was gaining distance from the figure, but it continued to yell the same thing over and over again.

"WAKE THE *beep* UP YOU SON OF A *beep*!"

That woke Tenya up all right, his eyes shot open from his slumper and found himself quickly going to sit up. He then felt his head pound against another, his arms forcing back downwards towards the bed and a whole new set of pain in his head. He lied there, not daring to look to see who was holding him down but to the side to stare at the wall closest.

Tenya didn't want to cry, not at something like this. He kept telling himself it was just stupid and that was just a silly nightmare like when he was younger. What broke him out of it though is when he heard the thud, the extra loud thud that probably would bring Katsuki in here to tell them to shut up.

Tenya slowly got himself up, sitting with his feet touching the floor, yet, when he decided to look down before standing up, he found the answer to the thud.

"Sora?!" He looked down at the body, the other not responding. Tenya stood up but his attention drew elsewhere when the door busted open.

"Is everything alright in............here?" It was Ejiro, who spotted the entire ending scene of what happened. He looked at Tenya, too shocked for words.

"Get. Help." Was all he could tell the dyed red head, before then looking back at the ground. Ejiro bolted out of the room quickly, understanding the matter.

Tenya blamed himself, he is the one to pry after all.

It was late, the clock reading 11:56 at night. Tenya was wide awake, staring at the ceiling with zero hopes in sleeping. He sat up but only found him staring at the items as they stood in the darkened room.

To his left, Akamine was very much fast asleep. As it turned out, the boy used his quirk to wake Tenya up but then the hit to the head got him toasted. Tenya was told by the many workers that it was not his fault for the incident to happen, but yet he feels like all he has done is cause trouble.

It still didn't explain what he did next.

Tenya found himself standing up, no longer in his assigned bed anymore. His body automatically just waked towards the other, being very silent on the floor. He still wasn't sure what he was doing but just continued to let himself be guided.

After a couple minutes going by, Tenya then found himself in one of the strangest situations he has ever decided to put himself in. He isn't sure why it ended up coming down to this but here he was, 12:01 in the morning in another bed, right next to the person who could potentially murder him while he's sleeping.

What made zero sense to him was why he had to be so close, Tenya was basically cuddling his side without the other knowing. He would've defintly crawled out of it but the arm that was securing him there prevented all that, plus Tenya knew that there was no way he would be alive if he moved the hand off his *beep*.

The second thing he found confusing about this was that he felt safe, like how could he feel safe cuddling someone who is 100% going to put him in his grave the minute his eyes are shut? Why did he even decided to let his body guide him?

It was weird for him to feel safe next to someone like Akamine, after all the *beep* he has done and said, why should he deserve something like this? He just continued to let himself lay there, his mind telling him it wasn't right while something else told him to just stay and be safe.

"Go to sleep." Akamine softly says, dozing off once more into a slumber. It seemed he didn't mind the presence of Tenya, or maybe he didn't register the other being beside him.

Tenya wasn't going to question that but instead actually try to go to sleep now that he was there. His head rested on Akamine's upper arm while his arms were wrapped around the boy's lower chest like a stuffed animal.

It wasn't longer before he was soothed to sleep, his eyes fluttering shut, his entire body becoming lost along with his conscious, the safe feeling continuing to spiral into his head as he fell into a deep sleep.

He couldn't explain this at all, nothing could, but time can always tell.
