The Box (Shigaraki x Reader -any gender-)

Chapter 2: Inside

Being crammed in a dim-lit crate was about the worst thing you could ask for. You felt every wall atleast 4 times looking for something.. anything.. you needed air and space as soon as you could get it.

(Y/N POV)

No, no, no, no, no, this can't be happening! I can't even breathe- everything is so.. stuffy, I- I need out.. Shit I can't even calm down.. Wait, is he noticing I'm freaking out? He won't stop looking over at me..

"Are you okay Y/N?" He asks me. How do I respond.. I guess the truth? Sure..

"T-Tomura I'm uh claustrophobic, I can't really focus right now- I can't brea-" I stuttered out before he cut me off.

"What- Oh shit.. Hey, it's alright. Fuck.. Stay calm, we can't make noise in here, if you be too loud I'm gonna have to make you shut up." He said. Gee thanks, that's helpful I guess.. I just swallow my tongue and try to rest my eyes.. But something feels wrong.. it feels like the walls are closing in.. Fuck I can't deal with this!

"Fuck!" I blerted out, I can't make noise but my hands wont stop shaking.. my vision is slightly blurry and- He's hugging me?

"Tomura?" I ask, "Calm down Y/N, nothing can hurt you in this dumbass box" He said so clamly. I can feel his chest moving up and down and his breaths on my neck. I feel alright.. I think..

(Shigaraki's POV)

Fuck we need out of here, before Y/N freaks out even more. How much longer.. Y/N seems to be calming down luckily, their breathing has steadied and they're no longer shaking.. For fucks sake Y/N...

"Hey, you good?" I ask.

"Huh? Oh, yeah.." They responded quietly. They're so gentle.. even the way they talk. If I'm being honest here.. I wouldn't mind hugging them again.. They're warm body and soft breaths was just so.. Shit! What am I even thinking, this stupid crate is fucking with my head now..

(Anyone's POV)

The crate halts very suddenly, all the boxes and crates move to the back of the van, slamming into eachother! The crates slamming causes you to fall on top of him. The van continues, but you struggle to get off of him. "Ow! God, sorry I'm trying to move.." you said, struggling to get off of him in such a tight squeeze. "Just lay on me while the truck is still going, it'll be easier for both of us" Tomura says. You do as he asked and layed on him, except you manage to roll over (your shoulders against his chest) and slightly nudge yourself between the crate wall and him.

(Y/N POV)

"Ow.. I gotta move my arm up, your crushing it." Shigaraki says.

"Shit sorry-" I explain as I lean up slightly for him to get his arm up. He lifts it up but has no where to put it down at except on me. "Sorry.. Can I put my arm on you?" He asks. I said yes and he layed his arm over my upper stomach.

I feel so.. calm now.. He's so close to me, I can feel his every breath. I kinda like it.. And having his arm over me-

(Anyone's POV)

Your racing thoughts get interrupted by you noticing something. Something comforting yet odd. Tomura seems so.. unfocused but happy, just by rubbing your chest a little. With his pinky up, he caresses your torso so gently and lightly. Your face turns red and you just glance over at him.. You can just see how comfortable he felt being so close to you. You smiled and giggled slightly, but your soft laughter broke his sweet trance he was in..

Sorry if this was long or boring! I'm not too well with getting romance involved fast, so sorry if it's still a little dry! Already working on the next chapter : )
