Can You Tape a Broken Heart? [Hanta Sero x Reader]

Chapter 18

(F/N) POV)

"Stay back!" The little girl cried, "Please don't hurt me any more!"

The man in front of her had no intention of doing so, raising his hand to strike her against the face. "You know what? I'm done with you, you little piece of shit!" He got closer to her face and proceeded to whisper in her ear, "One day, I'll be the one to kill you. I'll slit your throat with my own hands."

The little girl kicked and kicked, looking for even the smallest opening through which she could get away. She came to the realization that nobody was coming for her, and she started to cry.

"What now?! You scared?!" The man sneered, "Well, there's nothing to be scared of just yet." With that, he left a sliver of bread and a couple of crumbs of a stale cookie just out of her reach, leaving the dungeon that the small girl was kept in to resume the torture another time.

I bolted up out of my sleep, only to come to the realization that I was not alone. I was sprawled out on the couch, Denki was laying on the coffee table for who knows what reason, Mina ad Jirou were on the floor, Kirishima was sitting at the kitchen table, Bakugo was awake and cooking breakfast, and Sero was on the opposite side of the couch. 

Kirishima turned his attention to me, "(F/N)? Bad dream?"

I nodded, "Yeah. I have them every once in a while."

The redhead came over to the couch and sat next to me, "Wanna talk about it?"

I only shook my head, "Not really." He nodded and patted my shoulder, "No worries. Bakubro's up making us some food. He won't let me into the kitchen for a peek at it though."

I laughed, "Typical Bakugo. We have school tomorrow, don't we?"

Kirishima nodded, "Yeah, and exams are coming up. I'm a little freaked out by that, but I think that if I study, I'll pass!" I shushed him, "Kiri, you're gonna wake the others up."

Sero sat up and started to rub his head, "Yeah, thanks Kiri."

The redhead only smiled, "Sorry, man!" Sero scooted down the couch so that he was sitting right next to me, "So, how'd you guys sleep?"

I shrugged, "Okay, I guess." Kirishima laughed, "I had such a manly sleep! I even had a manly dream!" Sero sighed, "That's great, Kirishima." He took in a whiff of what Bakugo was making before standing up abruptly, slamming his knee into the coffee table, "Ooh, pancakes!!"

Denki woke up and rolled off of the coffee table, waking up Mina and Jirou with the noise he made. Mina screeched, "Eep! What the hell was that!?"

Sero started rubbing his knee, muttering to himself. "shit shit shit that hurt! Kaminari, you okay?"

Denki sat up sleepily, "No! I just fell on my head, I am not okay!"

I smirked, "You seem fine to me." Jirou joined in on my teasing, "Yeah, besides, there's no brains to protect in that head!"

Jirou and I started laughing like maniacs while Sero helped Denki to his feet. Kirishima shook his head and walked into the kitchen to grab something to drink while Mina tried her best to contain her laughter.

Bakugo yelled to us, "Oi! Extras! Food's done!"

I wiped a tear that had started to form from laughing too hard and stood up before realizing that I had actually been stabbed in the leg and that I couldn't walk. "Crap." I sighed.

Sero smirked, "Need this?" He held up my crutches that I needed for only five more days. I sighed, "No, I'll hobble around just fine." I then stood up, using the coffee table that Denki had fallen off of for support. Sero dropped the smirk, "No wait, I was just kidding, please don't fall, ohmigosh no!"

He dropped the crutches and wrapped an arm around my side, pulling my arm over his head and wrapping it around his shoulder. My cheeks turned a dark shade of crimson, "U-u-um, Sero? I w-w-wasn't going to t-t-try to walk."

His face turned the same shade as mine, "O-oh. Um, okay, I-I'll just grab your crutches real quick." 

He gently sat me down on the couch before grabbing my crutches and handing them to me. He stayed around for a minute so to make sure I held my balance, and then I hobbled into the kitchen with him following me. We saw everyone laughing, and even Bakugo gave us a disappointed sigh.

Sero tilted his head to the side, "What?"

Mina giggled, "You two are actually dumber than Kaminari." Denki threw his hands up in defense, "What did I ever do to deserve this?!"

Bakugo 'tch'ed and then set down two plates with pancakes on them on the table for Sero and I to eat. I sat down with Sero by my side, "Thanks for the food, Bakugo."

(Time Skip and Sero POV)

After we had finished eating, Kaminari smiled, "We should do something today!"

Bakugo looked him dead in the eyes. "No."

Kirishima sighed, "What did you have in mind?"

Kaminari shrugged, "I dunno, maybe a movie or go out to eat lunch or something." Bakugo rolled his eyes, "Again, no."

I laughed, "C'mon, Bakugo! Don't be like that! Let's do something today, it'll be fun." (F/N) nodded, and I could have sworn I felt butterflies in my stomach. "Yeah! That sounds like fun!"

I remembered what had happened at the sports festival, right after the cavalry battle.

After the battle, Kaminari and Jirou walked over to us to talk about what had happened in the previous game. Mina laughed, "Shocker to see (F/N) on Shinso's team, huh?" 

I nodded, "Yeah. Wish she would have picked a team from our class, but she looked like she was having fun."

Mina's face quickly switched from laughing to smirking, "You know, Sero. I saw you looking over at (F/N) quite a lot." Kirishima nodded, "Yeah, I noticed that too!"

Kaminari "whey"d his way over to us while Jirou tried to stifle a laugh. Mina smiled, "I'd think you had a crush on herrrr~!"

My face turned bright red, not a single clue as to what to say. But then, the girl in question waddled her way over to us. (F/N) spoke in a cheerful voice from behind me, "Hey, guys!"

I did NOT have a crush on her. Mina had to be wrong. I don't believe it. (F/N)'s not a bad person, and she's cute and all, but I don't think I have a crush on her.

Seeing her cheery smile made me blush, but I was standing by what I said back then. I mean, she's just a friend, right?

We decided that we'd watch a horror movie, just so Bakugo would stay.

As we watched the movie, people getting killed left and right, Bakugo would laugh and say thing like, "Well, that's your fault for falling!" or "Wow, these people suck at running!"

(F/N) threw a slipper at him, "Come on, dude! We're trying to watch a movie here!"

I leaned in to whisper to (F/N), "You're not scared by this?"

She shook her head, "Nah, this is mostly people dying. The scary stuff is when there's a ton of jumpscares."

I shrugged, "Okay then, fair enough."

Little did I know, that that day was one of the few days before our lives would change for the better, and for the worse.
