The Guardian Villain ( Shigaraki x Reader)

Is Something Wrong?

" Y/n?" I approached her slowly and laid a hand on her shoulder. She stiffened up and looked at me. She looked so broken and I have no idea what to do for her. All I can offer is an open ear and a vacant shoulder. " Let it out sweetheart. I'll listen."

I said those words as I sat beside her. She seemed shocked that I wasn't mocking her. I can't mock someone who is hurting. Not when I wanted someone to listen when I was in pain.

For what seemed like forever she sat there crying into my shoulder. I have no idea what has been taken from her but whatever it was it was definitely important to her.

"She saw the knife and had a flashback." That's what the cook said. Could that knife have anything to do with these tears? Come on Shigiraki. Think about everything you know about the girl. Didn't she say something that could tell you why she is upset.

    " I'm just the lunch lady." She told me that on my first day here while I was changing her bandages, right? Lunch lady's prepare the meal. Those kids are rich so they most likely get served good food that takes a lot of preparation. So she must have to use knives. Does that mean she lost her job? Does she like cooking for a bunch of snot nosed kids that much?

    I turn to ask her if my theory was correct only to find that she had cried herself to sleep while holding onto my arm. It reminded me of all of those nights I spent doing the same thing but I didn't have anyone to hold onto.

    Those were the worst times. Not only was I lonely but I was scared. I had nothing to keep the fear at bay. I was all alone and nobody wanted to help. Not the common folk not the heroes. I thought I would be alone forever.

    Even after the master took me in I felt alone. I spent several nights then doing the same as I always had. It stayed that way until Kurogiri began to take over my care. Master told me that Kurogiri would always be there to protect me, to take care of me, and to chase away all of my hardships.

    " Do you need a Kurogiri?" I found those words slipping out of my mouth when I looked at her sleeping form. " If that hero didn't realize how much you were hurting then I guess he isn't the Kurogiri you thought you had."

    Or I thought you had for that matter. I would have figured he would be by your side every minute he had off but instead I had to chase away that idiot. I guess I could have left an anonymous tip with the police but then they would station a guy outside 24/7 and I wouldn't have been able to protect you.

    Why would I feel bad about that? She's just a girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I could have been free of taking care of her, so why does the thought of not being here feel so wrong? Is something wrong with me?
