My eyes were wide and my breathing uneven as I tried to franticly pick up the broken glass pieces that had fallen to the floor. No no no I thought panic overcoming me. Images of past events started flashing in my mind and I dropped all the shards I'd manage to collect so far. I closed my eyes and covered my ears in a pitiful attempt to make them go away, please I don't want to!
Suddenly a big piece of debree came falling down right infront of me. I flinched violently as that happened and looked up. There where Toga had been was now only a piece of what used to be the roof. I saw a hand sticking out from under the rubbish, it was bloody and I finally deactivated my quirk, though I didn't even notice it.
Shinsou came running towards me, jumping over fallen debrie and breathing heavily. "Denki are you okay?!" He yelled as he got over the last part and ran up to me. "hey talk to me. Are you okay?" He put both his hands on my face trying to make eye contact. Thst didn't work though as my eyes were fixaded on the dead body infront of me.
He turned around spotting it. I couldn't see the look on his face as he did but once he turned back he intensionally moved in the way of it so I wouldn't be able to see it. "Hey it's okay Denki, you're safe now" He stated looking into my frightened eyes. "I promise you're safe now, they're not going to thurt you again okay, I promise"
He leaned in giving me a hug which I recivied by closely grabbing onto his ruined shirt. "It's okay" He carefully ran his hand through my hair, trying to calm me down. "I promise I'll protect you. I won't ever let you get hurt again, It's all going to be okay"
With those words I slowly closed my eyes, allowing him to comfort me. "You're safe now" Was what he said. "I'll protect you" he promised. And for once I think I truly believed him
"it's...Kid..just..." The panic I felt was overwhelming and I could barely see anything but I managed to turn my gaze upwards. "breath..." a blury figure that I concluded was Aizawa told me, exaggerating his own breathing so I could copy it.
"that's it, you're doing good" He continued to give me encouragement as I slowly managed to get both my heart and breathing down to normal speed.
"t-thank you" I spoke quietly and blinked away the last of my tears that had finally stopped falling. "It's fine kid, you know I'm always here" He answered reassuringly and patted my shoulder gently. "thank you...."
I watched as he stood up and offered a hand for me to grab. As I reached for it I stopped and turned my head
when suddenly footsteps were heard from somewhere else in the house. I watched the doorframe leading out of the dining room as the footsteps came closer.
Soon enough Shinsou came into veiw and I looked at him as he turned around, probably wondering what all the comotion had been about. As his eyes meet mine I could see his turn wide. "Denki are you okay!" He shouted out and rushed over to me. "are you hurt?" He asked grabbing my hand and scanning for inguries "n-no I'm fine" I mumbled, a little flustered over the attention. "you sure?" He looked into my eyes with a deeply conserned look. "y-yeah, it was just another panic attack, nothing to w-worry about" I explained and looked down on the ground feeling a little ashamed.
"alright" He sighed in relief and I looked up as I heard it. Him not making it a big deal made me feel much better. "come on" He stated and helped me up by grabbing my arm and side. He then looked me over one last time and desided to reach forward pulling a strand of hair back behind my ear "better?" He asked to which I simply answerd "better"
That's when I noticed Aizawa was eyeing us. I turned to him and smiled nervously still comfortable feeling Shinsou's arm around me. "Maybe we should wait a few more days" Aizawa spoke, the sound of worry echoing in it. My gaze dropped to the floor as I could almost feel the physical inpact of what he was saying.
