Never Letting Go // Yandere Shoto x Reader.

You were so...perfect.

In a world full of evil and cruelty, Shoto had seen some of the worst of it. Hell, he had been born from it. Everyday he had to look at it all, everyday he felt so angry. He felt like a storm of fire and ice, just on the brink of losing control.

Like he was going to break at any moment.

But you. You were like a breath of fresh air. If he was the storm then you were the calm. You made this world bearable. You made Shoto feel whole. You had saved him. From the moment you had met, it was love.

Shoto was madly, terribly in love.

Everything he did, he did for you. He trained to become strong for you. He worked to become the man you deserved. You were on his mind every day and in his dreams every night. Shoto had always wanted to be a hero but now he finally understood that he was meant to be your hero.

Being with you, he felt true happiness for the first time. But with that happiness came fear, a fear of someone hurting you. Someone taking you away.

Which is why he hated that you were becoming a hero. It wasn't that he thought you were weak, worthless, unable to defend yourself. Your quirk was magnificent. But Shoto could still see the flaws, the imperfections in your skills that left you vulnerable. It made him fearful of what might happen to you. But you only laughed, assuring Shoto that you would be perfectly fine.

You didn't understand.

You didn't understand that Shoto was so much more then a worried friend, that his concern came from love. You didn't realize that his compliments, his longing looks, his fears, were deeper then you knew. You didn't understand the danger you were putting yourself in.

But he did. He saw this world for what it was and he was determined to defend you from it.

He had to.

He had to protect you.

Which is why he had to take you. All of his attempts just feel on silent ears, you fought him on it every time. You fought him tonight.

He had cornered you in a quiet place, trying once more to warn you. But it only made you mad.

"Shoto! I can take care of myself." You had insisted.

You tried to walk away only for him to grab your arms and pull your towards him. He held you tight, his mismatched eyes bright with emotion. He didn't know if he wanted to kiss you or cry. You looked up at him, struggling in his grip.

"Shoto, what-"

"You don't get it! I can't let anything happen to you, you're all I have!"

"Let me go-"

"Listen to me!"

It was an act of passion, everything was in the heat of the moment. You had managed to struggle out of his grasp, only to fall back and hit your head against the brick wall. It was almost funny. Shoto had been worried about a villain hurting you but it was a freaking wall that knocked you out.

For a moment, he didn't move.

You watched you, unable to look away from your beauty. You looked so...defenseless right now. Anyone, he realized, could have done this. Anyone could have taken the advantage and hurt you...or worse. And then he knew exactly what he had to do. He scooped you up and ran. Ran where he knew no one would find him, where you would be safe.

Where no one could hurt you.

Knowing that you wouldn't understand, Shoto made sure you couldn't escape. It would take time for you to learn but...he knew that you would. One day. One day you would love him as he loved you, he told himself. Until then, he crawled next to you, watching you slumber for hours.

Eventually you woke up, mumbling under your breath. He rose up, smiling down at you. Yours eyes looked into his, still hazy and confused.

"Sho...Shoto?" You whispered.

"It's alright, Y/N, I'm here."

All at once, it seemed to come back to you. You began to panic, trying desperately to get away. Shoto pressed you back down calmly, looking into your wild eyes.

"You don't have to be scared, I'm not going to hurt you...I could never hurt you." He said.

"Why are you doing this?" You asked, tears starting to well in your eyes.

He simply stroked your cheeks, brushing your tears away.

"You're so beautiful...I love you so much."

As you sobbed and begged, he held you close, comforting you. He whispered sweet things and promises of love and protection, swearing that he would keep you safe from harm.

"I won't let them hurt you, Y/N. I won't ever let you go...I love you."
