Decayed Love (shigaraki x oc)

Chapter 11

Seiko awoke abruptly, sitting bolt upright with a gasp and her eyes wide open. She felt like throwing up. Why did she have the dream again? The one where she turns Tomura into dust instead of reviving him... Kaminari woke with a start too, immediately sitting up with a concerned expression on his face. "Seiko? What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, rubbing her back slowly.

She turned her head to look at him, her emerald eyes filled with unshed tears. "I'm... I'm fine." She lied, trying to stop herself from crying and not cry. He frowned sadly and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer. She rested her head on his chest and curled into him. He stroked her back comfortingly, "Did you have a nightmare?" He guessed, noticing her trembling. She nodded silently. He kissed the top of her head and held her tightly. "It's okay. I'm here." He assured her softly. She sniffled and buried her face deeper into his chest. They stayed like that for a few minutes, neither of them saying anything. They stayed quiet and together until she calmed down. Once she felt more stable, she removed herself from his embrace and sat up. She wiped her tear stained cheeks with her sleeve and gave him a weak smile. He smiled back at her reassuringly.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." She apologized, standing up from the bed and fixing her clothes. Kaminari watched her.
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked, getting up as well and walking towards her. She gave him another weak smile. "Yeah. I'm fine, Denki." She reassured him, placing her hands on his shoulders. "Thank you though. For staying with me." She added, looking into his eyes. He smiled at her and placed his hands on hers. "Anytime." He replied softly, placing a chaste kiss on her forehead. She blushed slightly and cleared her throat, turning away and looking at the ground. "Do you wanna talk about it?" He suggested softly. She bit her lip nervously and shook her head. "That's okay... You don't have to. Do you want to talk about something else?" He asked, moving a strand of hair from her face.

"Actually, could we go outside for a little bit? I could use some fresh air." She asked shyly. He nodded and they walked outside, closing the door behind them. She took him to one of her favourite spots, a little cliff that had a beautiful view. The two took seats at the edge of the cliff, admiring the sunrise. They remained silent for a few moments, the only sound their breathing and the trees rustling could be heard. Seiko sighed heavily, resting her head against his shoulder. He looked down at her and placed his hand on her cheek. "Can you tell me what your nightmare was about?" He asked softly. Sophie sighed deeply. "It was just a stupid dream. It has no meaning whatsoever." She mumbled. He furrowed his eyebrows. "Dreams are never meaningless. I like to think they give us an insight into what's really going on inside of us." He stated. She looked up at him, "I guess you're right." She agreed. "It was just a silly dream. Nothing more..." She trailed off, not really wanting to indulge. He nodded and kissed her temple, squeezing her gently.

"It must have been pretty bad if it got you that upset.." He commented. She shrugged, looking back at the sunrise. "It doesn't matter anymore." She murmured quietly. He looked at her in confusion but decided not to push the matter further. She looked like she wasn't ready to tell him, so he didn't want to ruin anything by forcing it out of her. "Do you want to eat breakfast now? Or do you want to sit here awhile longer?" He offered. "Breakfast sounds nice actually." She admitted softly. They stood up, brushing themselves off and walking back to the school.

Tomura stood next to Toga as she stood in front of All For One, who leaned against the wall of his office. He stared at her emotionlessly, waiting for her to speak. She grinned widely at him, twirling around gracefully and humming merrily.
"Well?" He questioned. His tone impatient.

"Toga..." he growled in warning, folding his arms across his chest. She stopped dancing and stopped in front of him. She tilted her head to the side, her grin still plastered to her face. "I think you know exactly why I asked to meet." She spoke, batting her eyelashes at him. He narrowed his eyes at her. She sighed, knowing that he wasn't going to play along, and crossed her arms over her chest as well.
