You wake with a throbbing headache. You sit up in bed, groaning in pain. How did you get back to your room? Why do you feel so sick?

You feel like you're going to throw up. You get to your feet, trying to rush over to the bathroom, but you still feel so dizzy and you're stumbling around with a lack of coordination. Kirishima rushes to your side. "Hey, easy, easy. You should go back to bed."

"I'm gonna- gonna-" You make a gagging noise. He realizes what's happening, guiding you back to bed, before quickly grabbing a trash can for you to puke into. You almost don't make it, hardly able to hold it in by the time he hands it to you.

He rubs soothing circles into your back and keeps your hair out of your face as you get it all out. You feel tears brim your eyes at the burn in your throat. You feel awful. What happened? What is he doing here?

Once you can finally lift your head from the trash can, Kirishima moves it away, laying you back in bed gently. "I'll go get you some water. Just stay here and rest, okay?"

"How- how did you get here? How did I get back home?" You ask, trying to recall what happened yesterday before you woke up here. It's all so foggy. Why can't you remember?

"You don't remember? You texted me that you weren't feeling well and you asked me to come pick you up." Kirishima replied. "I found you passed out in some alleyway. I was so worried and I had to make sure you were okay. I almost took you to the hospital."

Why did you pass out? What happened? As you began to wake up more, and your mind got more clear, you start to remember. You were hanging out with Shigaraki and after you ate, you started to feel bad. Maybe it was something you ate? But why did Shigaraki leave you like that?

"I'm just happy I could find you. I was so worried that something bad had happened. I'm happy you're okay." He held your hands gently, laying beside you on the bed.

You sat up and shook your head. "I was with someone- why did he leave me there? Why didn't he do anything? Why didn't he help me?"

"You were with someone? Who?"

There's no point in lying to him. "Shigaraki. He's my brother's friend. He's who I've been texting and who I hung out with yesterday. I didn't tell anyone because..well, you know how my brother can get, and I didn't want you guys to worry but, fuck, I'm such an idiot."

The realization that you had been drugged hit you like a train. You let it happen again, didn't you? You let him touch you. You let him violate you. You thought you were being careful. You thought you knew better. But it just happened all over again.

You start to break down, sobbing and sobbing, while Kirishima holds you closely. "Why does this keep happening to me? Why do I keep doing this to myself?"

He lets you cry for a little while, before tilting your chin upwards and having you look at him. "Hey, none of this is your fault, okay? What happened was out of your control. He shouldn't have hurt you. It's never okay to do what he did, no matter what the situation is. So please don't blame yourself."

He curls his arms around you, hugging you close while you cry against his chest.

"It feels like everyone I'm friends with is fucked up in some way or leaves me. Except for you and Bakugou. You're all I have. You've been with me through everything, with every stupid decision I make, and all the times I come crying to you. You guys are there. So thank you for that. Thank you, so much."

"Of course. We love and care about you so much. We'll do anything for you." He strokes a hair out of your face, cupping your cheek softly.

He hates seeing you like this, so scared, so devastated, it breaks his heart. But there's a darker part of him that feels much more satisfied, knowing that you need them just as badly as they need you. There are some bad, awful, people that you have trusted, that have hurt you because you try to see the best in them and they take advantage of that. It's much safer, having you only trust them, having you need them and only them. They'll take care of you. They'll make sure you're safe and okay, and that nothing bad will ever happen to you again. It's for the best.

You let him press a small peck to your forehead and your lips, before you pull away, checking your phone to see where your brother is. If he knows you're alone with Kirishima, he'll freak out.

Naoki: Hey, working late again

Naoki: Prob won't be home until u fall asleep so feel free to order takeout

You sigh and send him a text in response, slightly relieved. If he found out what happened with Shigaraki, he'd lose his mind and never trust you again. You'd never see the light of day.

"I think I need a shower, but do you mind staying? I just..I can't be alone right now." You admit.

"Sure."

The shower did make you feel a little better. You scrub and scrub until your skin's all red and scratched up. Until your body felt clean again. Until you feel safe again.

Kirishima sat on your bed, shooting a text to Bakugou.

Kirishima: Everything is good w (y/n)

Kirishima: Used her Face ID and sent the texts and she believes it

Kirishima: Did you handle Shigaraki?

Bakugou: Yeah he's been dealt w

Bakugou: Avoided the traffic cameras so no one saw

Bakugou: How is she holding up?

Kirishima: She's very fragile but she'll be ok

Kirishima: This will be good for us and her

Kirishima: I'm staying w her for a little while, I'll lyk how it goes

You join him in bed, changed into a fresh shirt that hung low, around your knees, and some shorts. You lie back with him, sighing as he holds you. "Tell me everything's going to be okay."

"Everything's going to be okay. I promise." He murmurs soothingly, rubbing your back while you lie against him and nevitably fall asleep. He makes sure to send a picture of you lying on his chest to Bakugou. He watches you sleep before he falls asleep himself.
