A hero's fall (Shigarakixreader)ONHOLD

migraine blues

You awake to find the room completely dark Startled you fly up into a sitting position. The light of your Master's computer barely catches your eye, but it is enough to ground you in the present. You take a breath, realizing there is a pounding in your head. Nausea follows and instead of words a tiny whimper escapes your lips. "Go upstairs and eat, pet." Shigaraki's voice makes you wince. "Fuck." You breathe out the word curling in on yourself. "Pet." He says in a tone that makes you shudder. It had always been kinda nice to hear from his lips, but this...was he angry?

You force yourself to formulate words bracing yourself for the jolt his voice brought earlier. "So." You swallow against the pain in your head, and fight against how dry your throat feels. "Much pain....Master please." He stood then slowly and with a growl. He kneels down beside you with jack in one hand and a pill in the other. "Take this and go eat." His eyes are stern but you can see a tender brush of concern in his features. "Yes Master." You whisper doing as your told reluctantly. You end up coughing from the jack sending searing pain through your temples. "Now go eat." Is all he says before returning to his desk.

You drag yourself up the stairs toward the entrance of the bar one hand over your eyes the other guides your way. You hear some hushed talking but the pain in your head is thumping far too intensely for you to process the actual words of your friend Dabi. "Food. please." You huff out the words and immediately nestle yourself in your favorite spot in the bar. "I can do that for you." Kurogiri says before leaving the room. He's so silent that with your eyes closed you end up responding to thin air. "Thanks."

The booth seat shifts slightly and you jolt ready to fight only to find Dabi beside you. "You make orders now hm?" You roll your eyes and put your head back down, not willing to listen or respond to him right now. Kurogiri sets a bowl of ramen down in front of the man beside you as well as two glasses of water. You know he's setting things up to look like Dabi is the one to eat...but why? "I've lost my appetite." Is all dabi says with a shrug you don't see before walking away. That's when you hear it...or rather that's when you hear him.

"You and Tomura have a mission today, Kurogiri. Keep my main player in the game. Got it? He's got a lot of passion, don't let it run wild." Your blood runs cold at the sound of his voice and your stomach twists in a sickening way. 'Where is he sending my Master?' You wonder helplessly to yourself. You're aware that since your annihilation of the number two hero and the others that the hero's are all on edge...is it even safe to do an active mission? All these questions running through your mind keep you so occupied you don't even realize your body has decided now is the time to eat. You shove mouthfuls of ramen in an almost robotic fashion. "Good pet." Your Master's voice makes you smile but no light finds your eyes. You are truly concerned...will he be okay?

"Keep your new rule in mind while I am away." Is all he says before using the warp gate and disappearing all together. Immediately you feel your body begin to reject the food you've ingested, sending you flying up the stairs to the bathroom near yours and Dabi's bedroom. However nothing but a bit of dry heaving and a dizzy/fuzzy feeling in your head is present. You lie on the cold and dirty floor trying hard to calm your anxiety. Slowly but surely your headache fades, replaced by a slightly painful prickle that covers your entire body. "Damn it." You grunt quietly to yourself again attempting to calm your own emotions. Usually your quirk responding to feelings in private doesn't bother you but after being here for so long the trust that anything is private has disappeared.

You decide your best chance at calming down is to take a bath, but just as you are about to pull off the shirt you are wearing Dabi bursts through the door in what seems to you a very agitated manner. "Doesn't he have somewhere else you can fuck around that's not in my way?" Your friend's comment sends you deeper into your anxiety, stealing any hope of reply right from your lips. With a squeak you scurry to your own bedroom and curl up on the cot you seldom end up on. "Why...?" You whimper as a couple tears stream down your face. Being without Master and the fact your close friend seemed so inconvenienced by your presence has you spiraling deeper into fear and pain.

After a while of solitude you pull yourself from your bed deciding the only thing that could possibly cheer you up is Toga and Twice. They always had a contagious air of positivity even when speaking of difficult or uncomfortable topics.

You nervously shift your feet in front of your friend's door...maybe she'll be annoyed you are here..."maybe I shouldn-'' Before you can talk yourself out of seeking company Toga pulls the door open with a shit eating grin. "Oh! Hey!!" She squeals excitedly before grabbing your hand and saying, "I wanna talk boys come iiiiin! I'll go get Twice too!" She giggles, pulling your arm hard nearly sending you to the floor. You have grown to love her abrupt enthusiasm and force a small smile to show you do want to be a part of this for her.

While she goes and gets her very best friend twice you take a seat on the floor next to her bed. You wonder if she'd mind you sitting on the small pink cot, but decide it best to just go with your training. They come in already chattering about Midoriya. That's Toga's current obsession. You can't help but feel a little lighter as you watch her eyes fill with love and loyalty. "So any news?" You ask with a small smile. "OH MY GAWD YES!! I've been stalking them!" Your eyebrows raise in surprise. Spying on UA is never easy yet here she is boasting about it as if she simply walked through a public park. "Aaaaand?" Twice is practically bouncing with excitement for his friend. You have really begun to appreciate his caring and trusting nature. "Well of course I'm not me when I'm there buuut I've managed to touch him! TWICE!!" Toga holds out two fingers when she announces the number and by this point you're grinning along with her. "Oh my god that's so cool!" You encourage her to keep going by offering your own enthusiasm.

"He smells sooooo good! And Ochaco likes him but I think she's pretty too!" Toga's cheeks glow bright red as she announces this bit of information causing twice to grab her hands giggling like a child and they do a little spin. "It'd be SO FUN to chat with them together. Maybe one day I'll get to do that too!" Toga grabs your hand and pulls you to your feet. "Let's go celebrate!! Pleeeease!" Your heart sinks..."I'm sorry Himiko...I'm not permitted to leave the building right now."

Both of your friends audibly gasp before launching into very solid rants on how no one should get to control their bestie and that they hate the old dust bag more than heroes. You find yourself smiling slightly enjoying the feeling of being cared for. "Thanks for giving a shit." You finally say interrupting twice in a confused little speech about how you are not an animal. "Of course we care!" Himiko exclaims seemingly surprised at the thought that you may have believed otherwise at any point in time.

Before you guys are able to build a plan for an in house celebration your Master bursts through the door grinning and bloody. "We have a new place. Go pack." He directs these words toward the two villains you've been happily engaging with before grabbing your hand and leading you to your room.
