Manipulator | Hitoshi Shinso x Reader | DISCONTINUED

Chapter 26

Y/n's POV

The feeling like someone is watching me has not left yet. It still lingers as I took a seat on the couch. Shinso was in Bakugou's room scolding him for not cleaning up after himself. Shinso walked into the living room and chuckled. "I don't even know why I even bother scouring him when- what's wrong?" Shinso cut his sentence short, asking me a question which made me jump a little. "O-oh nothing. My head is up in the clouds right now." I nervously chuckled and Shinso sat next to me. He cupped my face in his big, soft hands and looked into my eyes. My ears began to burn and I bit my lip. He's going to get it out of me one way or another so I might as well tell him what's on my mind. "There's something on your mind. You're just not telling me. I don't want to pry so I'm going to let you tell me when you're ready." He said, planting a kiss on my forehead. He removed his hands and I sighed. The only reason I don't want to tell him what I've been feeling lately is because I know he's going to worry and I don't want that. But, I do want to tell him because there might be a chance that keeping my mouth shut could put us all in danger. Shinso grabbed the tv remote and put on a movie.

I took a deep breathe and closed my eyes. I don't know what to choice to make. I opened my eyes to see Shinso pulling a blanket around me and pulling me close. I smiled at him and saw that he pulled out his phone. "You look so cute! I'm going to take pictures so don't move." He said, snapping a couple pictures and giggling like a child. "You look like a burrito. Its so cute." He softly said, admiring the photos and then turning off his phone. I took a deep breath and looked him in the eye. "I think he found me again." I said, and shinso tilted his head. He nodded his head, "what do you mean 'he'?" He gestured air quotes when he said the word "he." I looked at him and widened my eyes a little and shook my head a bit. "You know exactly who I'm talking about Shinso. Ive been feeling like somebody has been following me. I think I saw him when we were walking to the arcade. I didnt tell you at that moment cause i didn't want you to-" I said but Shinso stood up quickly and paced around in front of me.

"Are you sure it was him? He could've done something to you Y/n. I need to call Aizawa and tell him to get All Might. This isnt okay. You stay here okay? But before I go, are you okay? Do you need anything? I'll kick his ass okay? Dont worry about a thing. I got this handled." He said, kneeling down by my side and cupping my face once again. I grabbed his hands and placed them on my lap. "I didn't want to tell you because I knew you were going to over react. He didn't do something. Hes not who you think he is Shinso." I softly said but he didn't seem to calm down. I ran my hand through his hair and he sighed. Shutting his eyes, he shook his head. "How can you be so calm about this? He clearly wants something from you. Your safety is in jeopardy Y/n and i cant risk that." Shinso said, opening his eyes and looking deeply into mine.

I gave his hands a little squeeze, giving me a small smile. "Just trust me. I know him. Yeah, he kidnapped me but I know him now. I know who he is. He wouldn't harm me." I reassured him as he sat down next to me. Seeing Shinso this way was exactly what I have been trying to avoid. I knew he would get protective and want to hunt down Shigaraki but that's not what I want. I know that Shigaraki wouldn't hurt me. Something in me is telling me so and I trust that feeling. Now all I ask from Shinso is to trust in me. "It's going to be hard to not be by your side all the time. I don't trust him. But, I trust you." He stated. I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Now smile for me. I hate to see you like this. Come on. Lets go to sleep." I said, shaking him a bit earning me a smile from him. He shook his head and gave a small chuckle before looking me in my eyes.

"Only for you, kitten." He said, making the butterflies in my stomach wake up and start flying again. Leading him to his room, I began to think about how I haven't heard anything from Soul. No jokes, no judgy comments. Its been really quiet. Though, this isn't about Soul right now. Shinso looked at me and I told myself that maybe telling him about Tomura was a bad idea. If i haven't said anything then he would've been fine. "Im so tired." I commented as I opened the door and revealed his room. As always, it was a mess but it was a neat mess. All his things had a designated place. His bed was made neatly though. I smiled and shrieked a little about how comfy I'm going to be once we lay down. I crawled into bed and looked at Shinso who had a smile on his face before jumping on the bed like a cat. I giggled as I covered him with the blanket, taking his place on top of me. His head laid softly on my chest and I began to stroke his hair again. He hummed a soft tune and hugged me tightly. "This is my favorite thing in the world." He softly said as I placed a kiss on his purple hair.

The room was quiet. The whole house was quiet. Nothing to be heard for miles. Just peace and quiet. Shinso's gentle breathing made me feel warm inside. The butterflies began to take their place as if they were ready to go to sleep as well. I placed a hand on Shinso's cheek and traced little circles with my thumb. Slowly, his grip began to loosen and I felt like my eyes became heavy. If only I can stay in this time forever. Everything right now is perfect and nothing makes me happier. But, knowing that maybe Soul is out there wondering on his own or that he might be lost, makes my head hurt. Thats for another day though. Right now, it's about Shinso and taking a nap.

(chapter wasnt proofread !!)

hello wonderful people !! i hope you are all happy and healthy as always.

i just wanted to mention something about some comments in the earlier chapters. just so you guys know, i made sure not to force ships (such as kiribaku or tododeku) onto you guys. im aware that there are some people who dont like to ship characters who arent openly gay. i understand and respect that completely. which is why i made characters interact in way where you, as the reader, decided whether those interactions have a deeper meaning to them or not. this is an "x reader" book so i made sure you can read this book and kind of make it your own if that makes sense. im deeply sorry if i made anyone upset. trust me it wasnt my intention. i hope i cleared everything up so now you can enjoy this book more !! if theres anything else, please dont hesitate to comment it or even send me a pm !!
