BNHA One Shots

Change The Ending (Shinso X Reader)

(Original idea above)

I was sat in the front room re-reading my favourite BNHA manga. I was home alone as my parents went out for their anniversary. I heard a knock at the door so opened it and saw Shinso Hitoshi standing there. I felt my eyes widen before I closed the door, turned around, grabbed a pillow for the chair in the entrance hall, screamed into it, put it back and turned around again, opening the door.

"Sorry about... y'know... slamming the door in your face. I was just surprised and... y'know you're one of my favourite characters. Wait your not a cosplayer, right? I mean if you are it's an amazing cosplay and I love it. I'm just going to shut up now" I said.

"Heh, it's fine. I'm not a cosplayer but how am I one of your favourite characters. I'm not even in a series?" He asked, laughing a bit at the beginning.

"Your Shinso Hitoshi, from My Hero Academia. You're amazing of course your my favourite character" I stated like it was obvious.

"My Hero Academia?" he questioned. I sighed grabbing his hand and pulling him inside. I walked to the front room and grabbed my book. The cover had him on. He was about to grab it from me when the doorbell rang again. "Looks like the story's starting" he said before he turned and hid behind the sofa.

I answered the door and saw a man in full black there. I didn't like the look of him so tried to close the door. He placed his foot in the way and slammed the door open. I stepped back a bit and he followed me.

"Get out of my house" I said, my voice wavering. I continued stepping back. I was going to say something else but stopped when I saw the axe.

I remembered the story going around town recently of a serial killer. He attacked young girls who were home alone. First he killed them with an axe strike straight through their brain before raping their dead bodies and leaving them for their parents to find. Often he would leave them naked in their parents rooms and there was one reported case where he shit in the girls mouth before leaving her. No-one knew anything about him because no-one survived.

I ran through the hall and into the front room. It had two exits so I was planning on going through and leaving before he could do anything. I ran to the other door but as soon as I opened it he pinned me to the floor before flipping me onto my back. I watched him raise the axe and he started to bring it down when a hand grabbed the handle, stopping him from lowering it any further.

He let go of me and stood up, staring at Shinso. I slowly stood up and backed out of the room, terrified of what he was going to do to us. Unfortunately because I'm an idiot I walked into the door.

Slowly, he turned to face me again. He had been trying to kill Shinso until I'd hit the door. I turned and ran through the house, back to the front door. I was about to leave when I felt a hand on my shoulder before I was thrown back. I felt my shoulder dislocate and saw my arm turn a nasty blue and black, probably from a broken bone.

I watched him walk towards me, his axe dragging on the floor. I kept sliding backwards, trying to increase the distance between us when I saw a flash of purple behind him and heard a 'thud'. He collapsed and I saw Shinso holding a frying pan. He stepped over him and grabbed my good arm, helping me up. He put my arm over his shoulder and helped me out of the house.

We got to the gate when I heard footsteps and saw Shinso collapse. I turned around and saw him without his axe. I looked at Shinso and saw the axe in his shoulder. I tried to open the gate but Shinso was blocking it. I sprinted to the driveway and ran into the road. I heard a car so looked to my left and saw one speeding towards me.

I closed my eyes and brought my good arm up in front of my face but I heard the screech of tyres stopping. I moved my arm and saw that the car had stopped millimetres away from me. The guy got out of his car and looked at me.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I saw a shadow behind him and tried to yell out but I was too late. I watched as he got an axe straight through his head. I screamed and started running back to my house.

I ran in and ran to the kitchen, grabbed the biggest knife I could find. I turned around and saw him so ran through the front room, grabbing the frying pan when I was in the hall, and out the door. I saw him behind me in the reflection from the window. I turned around and raised the frying pan, stopping the axe from hitting me in the head.

When he lowered the axe I dropped the frying pan and switched it with the knife, thrusting forward and stabbing him in the arm. I placed knife in my mouth, leaned down to grab the frying pan placing it in my bad hand before running out the door.

I got to the gate and saw Shinso coming round.

"Get up, we don't have long" I said around the knife, pulling him up by his good arm. I placed his arm around my shoulders and rushed him to the car. I shoved him into the passenger seat before climbing into the drivers seat. I started the car and was about to drive when I heard footsteps. I looked out my window and saw him walking towards us. I pressed the gas and started driving away.

I didn't get far. I heard a pop before one side of the car seemed to drag. I looked in the mirror and saw the axe in one of the back tires. I didn't have time to do get away, at least not with Shinso, so I did the only thing I could think of. I climbed out of the car and screamed as loud as I could.

I saw lights turn in and windows open as the man swung his axe down next to me, I managed to move just in time but I didn't know how long I could keep it up.

I lived in a village. It was bigger than the ones you normally imagine but it was still a village. The estate I lived on was full of old people, most of them having lived in the houses since they were built 60 years ago. Some of the houses were council owned. I'd moved into my grandparents house after they'd moved into a bungalow in the next village.

Because I lived near a bunch of old people and those who lived in council houses I didn't expect help, especially since I was being attacked by an axe weilding maniac who is known to have killed before. I continued to dodge while I waited for something to happen. I didn't know what. For him to get tired and leave, for the police to arrive, for him to kill me.

I don't know when but Shinso regained consciousness while I was trying not to die. Neither me nor the man trying to kill me realized until I saw the flash of silver above him and heard the sound of a knife entering him. I looked and watched him drop the axe, having been stabbed in the arm.

I ran behind him as he collapsed to the ground in pain. We'd really done a number on him, especially when it is believed that none of his other victims fought back.

I let Shinso lean on me as I heard the police sirens. The cars stopped near us. I watched as one officer climbed out of his car and walked towards us. He told us to move further down and away from the man, also congratulating us on capturing the serial killer.

I limped with Shinso over to the ambulance that had just arrived. We were sat there while they unmasked the killer. Turns out it was an old teacher who had been fired years before I even moved here for watching the girls in his school change through secret cameras he had placed around.

We were taken to the hospital, I live in England so it was free, and were treated. My parents arrived later the next day to find me and Shinso sitting on my bed reading. We explained what happened but changed it to he watched the man come in so rushed to help me. My parents asked where he lived and he replied with him being an orphan from Japan who didn't have anywhere to stay. They promptly said he could stay with us.

We were able to leave a few days after that. We went home where my parents showed Shinso his new room. That night I walked over to his room, only to find him lying on his bed while on his phone. "Nightmares?" He asked, I nodded and walked slowly over to him, collapsing next to him in his bed and snuggling up to him.

I'd been having nightmares since what happened 5 days ago. He understood so constantly let me sleep next to him which we discovered works to stop them.
