Friends to lovers... - Shinso x Female Reader

21

You hear your phone buzz on your bedside table, you groan softly and stir and roll onto your opposite side. It continues buzzing and you reach your hand over and feel for it, you turn back around and force your eyes open to look at your buzzing phone. Shinso lets out a small groan and pulls you closer to him, a shiver goes down your spine as he buries his head in the back of your neck. You play with a little bit of his hair and look at the messages. 

'Why is he texting you?' Hitoshi grumbles as he puts his chin on your shoulder and blinks tiredly, you shrug slightly and put your phone down. You try and sit up but Shinso puts his head in your stomach to prevent you. 

'Hitoshi.' You chuckle and he wraps his arms around your waist in protest and keeps you in bed. 

'You're staying here, I'm still tired.' He yawns. 

'You don't need me to sleep.'

'I mean, I've gotten a proper rest since you were sleeping next to me for a night or two.' He hums and nuzzles his head deeper into your stomach, causing your breath to hitch. 

'You don't want a coffee?' You say and he hesitates before shaking his head, you try and squirm out of his grip but he straddles you and pins your wrists to the bed in a swift movement, and a light blush appears on your face. 'T-Toshi-'

'I wanted to ask a question.' He suddenly says and catches you off guard. 

'What is it?' You ask, Shinso blushes slightly and looks away. 

'Will you - um, b-be my - um girlfriend?' He mumbles, his face going bright red and still not making eye contact. 

'Yes.' You say quietly with a grin. 'Of course, I will.' Hitoshi looks at you with a surprised look before he lays on top of you and cuddles you. 

'Really?'

'Yeah, Toshi.' You smile and he places a kiss on your cheek.

Hours pass and everyone was downstairs and interacting with each other when one of the students rush to the TV and put the news on. 

'Breaking News! No.4 Pro Hero PyroHell has been brutally murdered by a civilian that goes by the name of  M/n L/n. If seen, report her location...' You zoned out and stared at the photograph of your mother, you ignore Shinso's curious look but then it gets replaced with a worried one as you start chuckling psychotically. You squat down comfortably and pinch the bridge of your nose as you start taking deep breaths, Hitoshi kneels down beside you and rubs your back comfortingly. 

'L/n!' Your homeroom teacher's voice echoes through the hallways and they finally find you, Exodius kneels down and observes you with a concerned look. 'Are you okay?' You don't respond and continue taking deep breaths, small talk appears in the background and the teacher sends them on their way. 'Y/n, talk to me.' You still don't respond and your hair suddenly alights, I need to release them... 'Take her out onto the field to a gym and give her the chance to release her feelings. It seems necessary right now.' Hitoshi nods and helps you stand up, you stare at the ground and Hitoshi and you and your teacher walk to an empty training field. Shinso lets you go and white flames lick the palms of your hands, you curl into a ball and fire erupts from your body, causing the teacher and student to jump back in surprise. You laugh and run your hands through your hair as the fire dies down. 

'The bitch is dead! He's finally dead!' You cackle but then sigh and look up at the sky. 'He can rot in hell now.'

'Y-Y/n?' Hitoshi stutters and you look at him. 'A-Are you okay?'

'Oh, I'm fine, Hitoshi.' You say and a drop of nervous sweat slides down his face, he approaches you and sits down. 

'Are you sure?' You exhale heavily and look at the ground. 

'No. After suffering from years of abuse, there's finally a light at the end of the tunnel, I suppose I got excited because that would mean no more pain.' You mumble and Shinso pulls you into a side hug, you wrap your arms around him and sob silently into his shoulder. 

'There's going to be no more pain and suffering,' He whispers into your hair as he cuddles you. 'I promise.'
