My Hero Academia One Shots ~Males x Reader~

Songfic! Tokoyami x Reader True Colors

A/n: I hate the trolls film, I just felt like the song fit really well with what I had planned.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage

You looked at him. He sat across from you on your bed. You were notified that it was 1:39 in the morning as your red analog clock flashed silently in the background. His hands were clutching the side of his head, tears streaming down his downy, feathered face. He had woken up with a nightmarish hellscape of a recollection that was being trapped in the marble of Mr. Compress. He could only describe it at the most pain one could experience without tipping them completely into insanity. You just hugged him and let him know that it would be ok, you would always be right there.

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

He often would come to you and ask you why you loved him. He wasn't happy like Kirishima or Midoriya, he was not as ripped as Todoroki or Bakugo, he wasn't even a class clown like Kaminari or even once in a great while, Mineta. You would always respond the same way.

"I will always be there, you don't need to be like the others to have me, I was yours the moment you told me that I was beautiful to you and always would be, and I can only say the same thing, you are the most beautiful one in my eyes."

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy

He would smile, grip your hand tightly, and rest his head on your chest whilst smiling with elation.

Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing

You screamed, it wasn't fair. Not her, anyone but her and Tokoyami. You received word earlier that week that your sister, the pro hero healer Restoration, was killed in an attack. She was who you aspired to be like. But now she was gone. Since then, you hadn't smiled nor spoke, not once. Tokoyami knocked on your door and you opened it, hoping to not look like a madwoman amidst all the pillows and papers strewn across the room in your fit of righteous anger. He closed the door and kneeled to where you had fallen to your knees.

"Why her? Why not me instead?" You sobbed into his shirt.

This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there

Her funeral was nice, it was almost a worthy occasion for the great person she was. There was even a moment of silence throughout the nation, as at one point she saved the Prime Minister and several prominent heroes. You sat down after giving your schpeel at the podium, and you felt an arm wrap around you. He was always right there when you needed him. He rubbed his hand up and down your arm, whispering in your ear,

"I will always be here for you, I love you."

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
