Sedative (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

The Gift You've Given Me

Your POV

I spun in the direction of the voice, my eyes widening in shock. There was a young man, about 19 or 20, who had golden eyes and tousled black hair. He was smiling warmly at me, giving me a small sense of relief and peace.

Beside him was a woman, she looked to be around 30, with bright green eyes and long blond hair. She was sniffling and wiping her eyes as she smiled down at me as well.

"Who... Who are you? And what is going on?" I asked, looking between the two.

The man spoke up first, "My name is Hinata Ichiyama."

"I'm Akari Kodachi," the woman sniffled, trying not to cry any more than she already was.

"Why are you in my head? Am I dead?" I asked with wide eyes.

Hinata shook his head with a slight chuckle, "No, you're not dead... We are."

I paused, totally stunned by his answer. "I'm sorry... What?" I asked after a moment.

"Let me explain," Hinata continued, becoming more serious, "We were two of the first people that All for One stole quirks from. Akari and I were both heroes when it first became legal. We were out doing our patrols when he stole our powers and killed us. It's been 135 years now, and we've had to watch him do the same thing to countless others."

"Does that mean that every person he's stolen a quirk from is conscious?" I asked curiously.

Hinata shook his head, "Not all of them. Most don't fight him long enough to stay totally sentient. And the only ones I've seen are the ones he killed. Like their souls go with their quirks when they die."

"What do you mean fight?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Some people are strong enough to resist him using their quirks," Akari said, her voice showing that she was still crying slightly, "He gave up on using ours a long time ago, though."

I looked between them, "So, you held out to stop him from using your powers to hurt people. But it came at the cost of watching him hurt and kill people all this time."

"But we don't have to anymore," Hinata said with a slight smile, putting his hand on my shoulder, "You stopped All for One from taking your quirk, and somehow you managed to transfer our quirks to yourself."

"How- How is that even possible?" I stammered, "What do I do now? And what's gonna happen to you?"

Akari came forward and put her hand on my other shoulder, smiling as she began to cry even harder. "We get to rest now. Thank you. Thank you so much," she cried while hugging me for a moment.

"We're giving you our quirks," Hinata said as Akari stepped back to his side, "We've been waiting for someone to put a stop to All for One for a long time. So, we're offering our quirks to help you stop him."

"What are your quirks?" I asked, "How do I use them?"

"Mine is called Molecular Explosion. I can cause small molecules that I'm touching, or in the air around me, to explode. But if you use it too much, your body will overheat from the inside and will cause extreme fevers," Hinata explained He looked over at Akari, silently asking is she wanted him to explain hers as well. When she nodded, he continued, "Akari's is called Plasma Weapon. You'll be able to convert energy in your body into weapons made of plasma. The more energy you use, the stronger the weapon in."

I nodded, taking a deep breath before asking, "So... Will I see you in dreams and stuff like All for One does?"

"No," Akari replied, "Those souls hold anger towards him, and that's the only time they can be seen by him. We're giving up our powers to you... Our souls will finally be able to rest."
