Dearest ~ Tomura Shigaraki x Reader

Chapter 3

As my brother was at school training to be the greatest hero, I was in my room re-watching old movies on my phone. I didn't want to depress myself. After all, Izuku needed my support when he comes home.
Or maybe not home at all. He has been staying there later than ever.
I turn off my phone, placing it next to me on my bed.

By letting my body get absorbed in the sheets of my bed, I began to stare at the ceiling, my chest inching every second towards pain. Not physically, that is...
I can't go towards that path, not now.
It was beginning to get dark, and my head still felt like it was being drilled into, so I decided to take medicine into my own hands.
I grudgingly got up and put on a sweatshirt, then putting on a red beanie. As I open my bedroom window, I turn back and look at the locked doorknob.

—On Actions—

I look down the apartment establishment and wonder how the hell I'm gonna get down.  I squint my eyes, but it didn't take long before I figure out how to get down. I push myself out of the window, grabbing hold of the power line, and use my quirk to rebalance its energy, so I didn't kill myself electrically. I jump to the wooden pole and slide down until my f/c converse hits the ground.

I sigh happily, putting on my blue earbuds and listen to my Tic Tac playlist while walking down the streets of Musutafu, Japan.
As I was going through the city, I realized how quiet and still the city looked at night. Cars were passing by as bright and colorful lights reflected any window the light could find. I step in puddles, bouncing to the beat of my f/s.
Suddenly I felt fingers trail to my checks and onto my mouth, threatening not to let go. My screams became muffled but quickly stopped once the feeling of a hard metal object pressed behind my back; the action silenced me completely.
I held my breath. His breath, similar to an animal in the heat, was bearing my right ear. Their hands trailed towards the cord of my earbuds, soon yanking my earbuds out of my ears.

"Take a step back, and I won't shoot."
They softly whispered. As they stepped back, I followed behind.
I was led into an ally where they pressed my body against the wall, the gun now to my forehead.

"Give me the phone, the passcode, and everything else you got."

"Please, I just-"

The tall man threw me back again, air escaping my body.
"Get any bright ideas, and you die."

"Y-yes, sir." I surrendered while nodding my head slowly, reaching for my phone.

I was alert, my actions now predict if I survive this or die, but I didn't care about it.
As I place my phone onto his hands, I quickly move away with my phone in my hands and absorb all of his energy, quickly ducking down and punching him with his own strength. He stumbled back, to only return with arm-stretching towards me, sending me backward and hitting the wall. I blocked his stretched leg but didn't see his stretched arm coming towards me. The gun fired, the sound completely ringing through my ears as I jumped, luckily missing the bullet. My eardrums vibrating at this point. I slowly got up, the wall behind me for support, when I see a familiar silhouette in the corner of my eye.

It was fast, so fast I couldn't even see them touch me and knock out the guy.
I wrapped my arms around the person's neck naturally, in shock at what happened.
The man's arms were around me, too, his hands tightening his grasp on my sweatshirt. I pull away a bit, taking a quick peek at their face.
Those red blood eyes look back at me with calmness as mine remained un-stabled and distorted. My hand slid to his neck, and before I know it, the man is out of my sight, placing me against the wall.
