72

The summer went by in a flash, Bakugou's confession in the pent house he had purchased shocked you but you didn't want to be the reason he no longer wanted to be a hero. He still decided to go work the job he was offered but he was only doing his hero work part time because no matter what you say, he did mean what he said, he doesn't see much of a future as a hero, not after everything that's happened to him in the last few years.

He died, he came back, he dealt with you constantly being hurt and witnessed you almost dying.

After everything it was traumatizing, he had some sense of PTSD and it was so overwhelming that he somehow convinced you to stay back at home and work a simple job because he couldn't stand the thought of you out there even if Shigaraki was locked away and couldn't chase after you again.

He didn't want to get that phone call, one that would lead to your funeral or lead to him sitting in the hospital for days or weeks waiting for you to heal from your wounds. All the pain and nightmares consumed him on a daily basis.

So, you agreed to work a simple office job that didn't require you to be in an actual office. You stayed on your couch, laptop open and did the paperwork at home while he was away for hours a day.

For months it was like that, you at home, only leaving to get groceries or to go to therapy. He stayed out for hours at a time playing hero, some days he would be gone for over 12 hours and some days he would be gone for less than 8 hours.

You didn't realize how much of a drag it would be to be sitting on your couch, bored out of your mind and staring at the same documents on your computer screen as the tv played in the background.

Was this the life you wanted to live?

You always hated your dad pushing you to be a top hero like him, you hated the fact he enrolled you into UA and then it was like a switch flipped and once you controlled your quirk, you were excited to use it and excited to become a hero.

Now you were here.

Your dad would probably laugh in your face right now if he saw what you were doing. He would push you to get up and go do something with your life instead of dwelling on what happened in the past.

"Are you really going to let that fucker win?" It was like your dad was talking to you now, gesturing to Shigaraki and how he practically won.

You were lifeless even though you were very much alive. Your skin was full of scars to tell the story of what he did to you and how badly he craved the quirk you possessed. You hated him, it made you angry just thinking about it and deep down.. your dad would be right.

Secretly, without even noticing it, you are letting Shigaraki win by hiding away in your expensive penthouse your hero boyfriend bought you. You're working a boring stupid 9 to 5 job from the comfort of your own fucking couch.

Your eyes began to water on its own accord, the thoughts of everything that has happened swirled and although your therapist was giving you great feedback on how to channel your emotions and deal with it all, you decided to say fuck it to all of it.

Before even possessing a thing, you grabbed onto your phone and dialed a number before pressing the device up to your ear. It rang a few times but eventually a voice was heard on the other side.

"Hello?" Aizawa muttered into the device, shocked to see your contact appear on his phone.

"I thought about what you said back in August.. I want to try to get it back, all of it." You spoke abruptly, instantly bringing your fingers up to chew on your nails nervously as the reality settled in.

You would have to face Shigaraki again and you didn't even think for a second about this stupid plan, you just reacted.

"Are you sure you're ready for it? We don't know for sure if it'll even work, Y/N." He let out a breath, the memory of the conversation you two had a few months back when you moved into the building and Bakugou went to work.
