"I'm so sorry..."
Kiri whispered in my ear softly as he pulled me in for a warm embrace; I leaned my head against his shoulder, feeling the tears start to well. You ever get that feeling when someone says 'I'm sorry' and just...A feeling in your gut screams out for you to cry and tell them everything that happened?
Yeah, I know that feeling too...my body quivered and the tears started to fall. I sobbed silently so Iida and All might wouldn't hear; obviously they wouldn't because of the music but kacchan could hear...I knew he could cause he wouldn't stop looking over at me...
Did he want to say something...? Although I love Kiri for holding me like this; I wanted both of their warm arms around me but I knew that would never happen...maybe if I- no...he'd kill me...
I whimpered at the thought causing Kiri to tilt his head; I guess he saw me eyeing kacchan cause next thing I knew Kiri pulled him over by his shirt; kacchans chest pressed up against me and he felt so warm...I wanted to stay like this forever but I knew he'd get mad any minute.
Any minute....
Uhm...any minute now...? I slowly looked up at kacchan, he didn't look mad nor annoyed. He just sat there with his arm around my shoulders along with kiri's. I felt a warm smile creep up on me as I started to get greedy, I leaned my head against kacchan's chest before pulling Kiri closer; snuggling between them both.
Their warm embrace made me feel so safe...like nothing could hurt me. That thought quickly left when I felt a slap on the back of my head, "Ack-!" I said as I rubbed the back of my head, "Don't get comfortable nerd, we're here." Kacchan mumbled as he got out the car along with All might and Iida, I looked to Kiri and we both giggled.
At least I know he cares, a little.
-UA high; Class 1-A dorms-
"MIDORYA!" The girls cried out as they ran over to me; they all jumped on me and I stumbled back making us all fall to the ground, I groaned and giggled along with the rest of them, "Sorry for making you all worry...I promise you guys I'm fine now!" I said with a warm smile as I rubbed the sore spot on the back of my head.
"You promise you're okay?!" Uraraka said with teary puppy eyes; I smiled at her before looking at Kacchan and Kiri. They both had a sad expression on their face; obviously Kacchan tried to hide his more though. I smiled again, "I'm fine, I promise." I could see their faces relax meaning they felt some type of relief which made me happy.
All the girls still started to cry though, "We're having a sleepover tonight, and I won't take no for and answer!" Mina said as she hugged me; nearly squeezing me to death, I chuckled and patted her head, "S-Sure...but can you let go? C-cant breathe-" I gasped for air when she let go and smiled at me.
We all got to our feet and them immediately dragged me to Mina's room, the boys followed; Kiri dragging kacchan along. It was weird seeing all of us in the same room like this, we chatted and laughed, played bored game's, watched movies, the girls put face masks on me, Denki, Sero, Todoroki and Kiri, and we had a pillow fight; obviously kacchan won by cheating but since it was the weekend we lost track of time.
It was already 1 in the morning when I checked my phone, "I think we should get some sleep...it's late-" I said in between a yawn as I stretched my arms over my head. Everyone agreed before finding the best place to sleep. Mina's room was the biggest compared to everyone else's for some unknown reason.
(There were two beds; two couches, one blowup mattress and then the floor. Mina and Uraraka slept in one bed; Asui and Momo slept in the other bed; Jirou and Tooru slept on the air mattress; Bakugo and Kirishima slept on one couch with their legs overlapping each other; Denki and Sero were the same on the other couch; and everyone else was on the floor with like a thousand blankets.)
After a while of making jokes and snickering to each other we all finally fell asleep; I'm glad I got to sleep next to Todoroki, he doesn't snore and he's a heavy sleeper. This was nice...I honestly wish this day would never end...but sadly all good things come to an end.
"w-why...."
A soft shuttered voice called out to me; the sound echoing off the walls. But there were no walls...just darkness surrounding me like a blanket that I couldn't escape from.
Then...out of the darkness stood a tall lanky man...with black hair and blue eyes...he smirked at me but...he wasn't looking at 'me'. He was looking at another me. The other me was covered in blood and scars, my eyes were rolled back and purple bruises spread across my naked pail body.
The tall man lit his blue fire before burning 'me'...but I didn't scream, I was already dead? No...I was alive but I couldn't scream...nor move. The fire didn't even hurt, it was colder than ice yet my body still burned away...
When he was done he looked at me...the actual me this time and said words that I couldn't quite understand, he was so far away, and his voice was muffled.
Then he slowly walked towards me; his foot steps got louder and louder before going completely silent, Everything was still.
He was only a few inches away from my face when he lit his blue fire once again, whispering something into my ear that I still couldn't understand before moving his hand closer to my face; setting me on fire.
I screamed in pain before-
I gasped as I sat up quickly; I was sweating and panting like I'd just run a marathon. I could still hear my scream echo in my head even though nobody actually screamed...it sent a shiver down my spine.
"You're fine....it was just...a dream..." I said quietly to myself as I slowed my breathing; trying my best to keep myself from having a panic attack. "Tsk, you're what...16 and still have nightmares?" I heard a low, and familiar voice say behind me. My body froze and I started to pretend like the person didn't notice me. "you're so dumb; I know you're awake damn nerd." Obviously kacchan; said behind me.
I sighed and turned to face him, "yeah...s-sorry...I didn't mean to wake you-" I said nervously as I scratched the back of my neck, everyone else seemed to be asleep and I didn't know what's else to say to him...
He just looked at me; with the same expression he always give me before hand motioning for me to follow him, he got up off the couch; basically kicking kiri's legs off of him, knowing there was nothing in this world that could wake Kiri up before walking out to the patio.
My curiosity got the better of me as I hesitantly followed; when I got outside Kacchan was leaning against the metal bar that wrapping around the patio (Rip to those kids, ifykyk.).
"U-uhm...did you need m-me for something...? It's c-cold and I'm tired so-" "shut it." He said before I could get the rest of my sentence out, he wasn't even looking towards me; just looking towards the bright moon that lit the night sky. It was somewhat calming seeing him like this...
"I think...if you live long enough- you realize that so much of what happens in life is out of your control...but how you respond to it-" he said in a calmer tone than usual as he turned to me, "...is your call." I saw his fist clench before he walked back inside.
I didn't know what he meant at the time but...I'm glad he said those words to me that day, otherwise I probably would've given up on life a long time ago. I felt that same warm feeling in my gut, like someone was wrapping their arms around me. I smiled up at the moon as I gently rubbed
my arms, "So-"
