The Death of You [BNHA]

Chapter Five

~Emi's POV~

I somehow managed to survive the next few days as All Might's assistant and housekeeper, though the housekeeping was far less exhausting than trying to fix the insane schedule he'd made for himself. Luckily, he didn't schedule a lot of things too far out so the following weeks would be much easier now that I was in charge of scheduling and could organize things in a timely manner so we weren't running from place to place for all of his appearances. I'd officially met Nighteye later in the evening of my first day. He was much more polite after our first meeting but I could hear the grave words he said to me every night when I went to sleep.

His cryptic warning led to many nightmares. All Might later told me about Nighteye's quirk. He could only use it once every 24 hours. If he touched someone and made eye contact with them, he could see their entire future. It only lasted for about ten minutes so everything got scrunched up and probably misconstrued at times but big things stuck out and they were always right. After hearing about his quirk from All Might I was terrified. I didn't tell him that Nighteye had already used his quirk on me, it was pointless to worry if it was just going to happen and I didn't fully understand his words yet.

I woke on Sunday morning after yet another restless night of sleep spent tossing turning and plagued with horrible nightmares. I'd spent the entire night watching myself die in my dreams over and over again in many different ways. Stumbling from bed I made my way to the guest bathroom attached to my room. I chanced a glance in the mirror and bit my lip as I saw the sickly pallor to my skin and the dark circles under my eyes. There was no hiding this. All Might would notice, and worry.

I took a cold shower hoping the cool water would reduce the puffiness of my eyes and make me look more awake. It helped but not by much. After my cold shower I changed into a simple floral print dress and stepped out of my room to go make breakfast. All Might would be finished with his morning workout soon and I liked to have breakfast ready for him when he was done.

As I shut my door behind me, I heard the door to the gym open. All Might poked his head out the door. He smiled as he spotted me but his smile began to falter as he noticed the pallor of my skin and the dark circles beneath my eyes.

"Are you feeling okay, Emi?" He asked worried as he moved toward me. He'd learned from my prior embarrassment to keep a shirt on while training so I didn't have any more heart attacks.

I nodded and tried to wave off his concern not wanting him to worry needlessly. "I'm fin-AH!" I cut off with a squeak as he lifted me off my feet.

"You're not fine." He frowned. His eyes were clouded with worry, "you're not sleeping well."

Guilt wormed through me, "I'm sorr-."

He fixed me with a strained smile, "there's nothing to be sorry for. It's a new place and a stressful situation. I knew there was going to be an adjustment period." I felt even more guilty lying to him when he was being so understanding, but I didn't want to talk about what Nighteye had said. The moment I spoke of it, it would become too real.

I nodded my head meekly.

"We have an appointment early in the afternoon-."

"We do?" I paled. "I don't remember making one. Did I overlook it?" I started to panic thinking I'd messed up.

"No, I made it." He chuckled and I blanched slightly.

"Toshinori, what did I tell you about making appointments?"

He laughed aloud at this. On my second day acting as his assistant I caught him trying to overbook some appearances for his fans and told him he wasn't allowed to make anymore appointments unless he ran them by me first. "It's not for me." He smiled as he carried me back to my room.
