Draw With Me? BNHA Horror Fanfic

Chapter 10👻 Worrywart

Shouto laid in his bed, staring up at the ceiling tiredly. That room...what was inside that the voice wanted me to know about? He turns on his side when he hears the door to his room open. Someone walks inside, their footsteps light. The bed dips just beside him and he feels a cool hand caressing his hair.

    "Shouto...you know I'm not mad at you. Right", Rei's timid voice asks.

Ever since they had gotten home, Shouto had grown very quiet. He avoided anyone who tried to pry from him about why he was in that restricted area of the institute in the first place. Even if they were just trying to have a decent conversation, the young teen would just walk away.

"None of us are mad at you. We just want you to be safe. I already don't like how you continuously go over to that place. Wanting to know what it's like and all. But, nobody's mad at you. We were just worried about you with your recent head injury."

Shouto sits up and turns to his mother. He clasps his hands together and groans. "Mom, I understand that you all are worried about my sake and everything. You do not have to lie about that fact. However, you don't have to be so overbearing about it."

    Shouto didn't want to sound like a total ass. Yet he needed to get his point across. He saw a flash of grief in the woman's eyes. He puts his hands on her cheeks and wipes her little tears that trickle down. "I don't mean to sound like a brat. But you all don't have to worry about my every move. Trust me, I'm fine."

Rei touches his right hand and smiles. "I know baby, I know. I just don't want anything bad happening to you." She kisses his head and ruffles his two toned hair. Shouto groans tiredly which erupts a laugh out of her.

"Goodnight, Shouto."

The boy smiles, "night."

Rei stands up and heads for the door, she takes one last look at him before heading out of the door.

Shouto sighs as he lays his head in his hands. What is happening to me?

✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻

It was around midnight when Shouto woke up. He could hear Fuyumi and Natsuo talking in the other room. Their voices were muffled, so he couldn't hear what all they were saying. He slowly gets out of bed and makes his way out of the room. The long corridor was dark, reminding him of that dark, cold basement. The only piece of lighting was from under the door to Natsuo's room. Shouto makes his way down, careful as to not make so much noise when he walked passed his parents' room.

He saw that Natsuo's door was cracked open, and without thinking, he pushes it open. Both people that were in the room turned to see their little brother. Fuyumi looks at Shouto concern. "Sho? Are you okay?"

    Shouto nods his head and turns to Natsuo. He saw how glum the older boy looked as he felt a small pang in his chest. "Natsuo. I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."

He steps into the room and closes the door. Natsuo smiles a bit. "It's alright. I should've just ignored your ass and brought you home."

   "Heh, I know. But you have a soft spot for me."

Natsuo rolls his eyes, "who doesn't?"

The Todoroki children share a laugh with one another. The youngest walks further in and sits on the bed with Fuyumi while Natsuo was seated in his chair by his desk. The three of them talked for a while, making sure to keep their voices down at a minimum so they wouldn't disturb their parents' much needed rest. But after a while, things became a little tense.
