Head Above Water (Shoto Todoroki x Half Gem OC)

Full Description

"Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won't let this pull me overboard"

"God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown"

"So pull me up from down below
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most"

"And I can't see in the stormy weather
I can't seem to keep it all together
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
And I can't breathe"

Everyday I fight to keep my head above the water, fearful that if I stop struggling for even a moment, I'll drown. The waves are too strong for me to swim through! But still every time I gasp for air I'm fighting for my life, trying to hold onto any sanity I can find in this living hell filled with stormy weather; but it seems like I can't keep it all together by myself. It feels like I can't breath! It's all so suffocating! God please keep my head above the water, don't let me drown! Someone please come and save me, I can't breath! I can't continue to fight on me own! I-I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH!

I try to reach for something, anything as I fight to keep my head above the water but something continues to nip at my feet, wrapping around my ankles to drag me down a bottomless abyss.

Just as I'm about to go down a light shines on me, and another, then three and four more! I feel someone reaching out for me but it's too late. I'm already under.....
But just when I was about to give up I feel someone grab my extended hand that was silently begging someone to take it.

Then another hand, and another, and more. "Its okay, you're not alone" I hear many voices say in unison, some of them familiar while others aren't. I feel one more hand reach out to me, this one is hot...no cold...no, its both but it comforts me. The hand caresses my cheek carefully before grabbing me and forcefully pulling me from the dark abyss.

A gasp comes from my mouth as my body is pulled from the freezing cold water and placed on warm dry land, air filling my desperate lungs. I cough and sputter as I stand on my hands in knees, trying to clear my lungs of the water that's invaded them. "We're here for you, we care for you. You're not alone" I hear several voices say from in front of me. I look up, slowly opening my eyes as my hair sticks to my face in a sloppy manner, to see serval people standing in front of me, a whole group of them. But one person stands out from the group, his odd yet natural appearance making him stand out even though he stands at the front of the group. The boy walks towards me with a soft, warm and gentle smile on his face causing my face to flush. He kneels down on one knee in front of me, his beautiful eyes sparkling with life. "I know what it's like to be alone, but you don't have to fight on your own. You helped pull me from the darkness and into the light, so now I'll pull you from the water and onto land" the boy tells me with a sweet, heart melting smile as he extends his hand to me. "All you have to do is let us help, and we'll keep you above the water" he tells me and I look from him as mixed emotions swim through me. I stare at the boy with teary eyes, my smooth and silky hair sticking to my face like seaweed. "....Okay" I finally say after a hesitant pause.

The boy looks down at me with happiness shining clearly in his eyes as he holds my hands in his own. "I won't let you drown. Every time you go under I'll be right there to pull you back up, because I care for you" the boy tells me, a pink blush painted across his cheeks. I look down at our intertwined hands, thoughts running through my head at rapid speeds. Is it really alright for me to accept this, accept them, accept him?
But none of that matters the moment I look back up and my eyes meet his, "Thank you...Shoto" I reply to the boy with a bright smile on my face.

This is another BNHA x SU cross over and its (as said in title) a Lapis Lazuli (half Gem) OC x Shoto Todoroki. TBH guys I just really like lapis lazuli gems, they're very beautiful and Lapis (from SU) is a whole Queen too
