Comfort - Katsuki x Reader [Sequel to Barrier]

Ch. 34 - A Friend

The red head, introduced as Eijirou Kirishima, stayed for a bit. Food was ordered for dinner and you tried to ignore all of his staring.

"Yet another person that knows who I am, well not officially because I gave my temporary name but still."

You tried to bring up memories of him, but as usual, your attempts were futile. The only thing you could remember was feeling guilty and sad when you tried to bring up memories of him.

"Maybe we weren't very close? But its obvious he knows me."

You let out a small sigh as you dropped a piece of food back into your disposable dish provided by the takeout restaurant.

Katsuki was busy hitting the small movie box as it was taking a long time to load while Kirishima kept giving you side glances.

"Is something bothering you?" The redhead asked, hearing your sigh.

You shook your head, "No. Well yes, but you dont need to worry about it, it's really a personal problem."

He frowned a bit before quickly changing to a wide smile.

"Ok, I wont force you to talk." With that he began to vigorously chow down on his noodles.

You smiled back before looking down at the food on your lap.

"Well it was fun hanging out but I really should go." Kirishima spoke with a stretch.

"I should go too, I have work in the morning." You smiled and stood.

Katsuki just nodded and sent you both off with a flick of his wrist and dull glance. You felt a bit saddened that you had to leave when you had just gotten so close, but it was for the best at the moment.

Kirishima and you stepped into an elevator to go down, the doors closing into silence. Your thoughts wandered again to your lost memories and suddenly you felt overwhelmed.

"I have to kill him or I wont get my memories back, but I dont want to kill him! And what about what that kid said, there's someone in my mind? Is that what's blocking my memories? And also theres that villain I read about a while ago, the memory snatcher, that's probably the one who did this to me, but I know nothing about him! What do I do? This is so confusing and terrifying I'm so-"

"Are you ok?" A hand rested on your shoulder, "I know I asked earlier, but just now you looked so sad, I would feel bad if I did nothing to at least try to help you feel better."

You didn't know how to respond, your mind was screaming to stay silent but your heart ached with a burning sadness that you've never quite felt.

At the moment, your heart was stronger than your mind. You bit you lip subconsciously as your body shook from the weight of your troubles and emotions.

You weren't shocked at all when the salty liquid from your eyes finally cascaded down your face after blurring your vision for what felt like a few minutes.

"I'm sorry," you croaked, voice cracking, "You dont need to listen to me, I'm just so confused."

Your hands went up to your face, the sleeves of your sweater meeting with your fingers as you went to wipe away your tears.

The skin of your face was gaining heat as a small pink tinted it. Then, arms wrapped around your shoulders and pulled you into a warm hug.

"I don't know what's going on but if you ever need a friend I'll be here."
