~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




Silence was all you heard.






You felt like you were floating in an endless stream of nothing. Things couldn't be more peaceful.





"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!"





What?






"You're *CRACK* a fucking *CRACK* dead man!" *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

"(Y/N), I'm so so sorry."




Mina? Why are you crying?







"Shh shh. It's okay, pretty girl. I'm here. You're gonna be okay. Just stay with me. Keep those eyes open for me."

"Please stay awake"


Eijiro?


"Please"


You jerk awake with memories flooding you, sending your brain into overdrive. You punched Raiden and broke his jaw. He choked you and made you pass out. You thought Mina was there? And you were being rocked by Eijiro? Wait, when did those two get there? You haven't even been awake for 10 seconds and your brain was already hurting from thinking too much.

You finally take a look at your surroundings. The beep of the heart monitor was beside your hospital bed. You were wearing a stiff hospital gown that felt paper-like. The room smelt of disinfectant and staleness. The room was cold and empty. Being in hospital rooms always gives you anxiety.

You were about to push the HELP button, when you heard the door open. Your eyes met gold. Mina damn near dropped everything in her hand and rushed to your bed. She climbed in and gave a big squeeze.

"Imsorryimsorryimsorryimsorryimsorreyyyyy" she cried in your arms.

"Calm down. I'm fine, see? What are you even apologizing for?"

"My dumb ass should've never left you. I came back too late and you were already on the ground. What kind of hero am I if I couldn't even save you. Im so sorry (y/n)."

"Ash-"

Before you could finish your sentence, your door swung wide open; revealing the rest of your friends. Kami, Sero, Bakugou, and the rest of the girls were crowding around your bed.

"We're sorry we weren't there for you"

"I'll kill the son of a bitch"

"I can't believe we ever worked with such a disgusting person"

"Can everyone please stop talking about it?" You were beyond tired. Even mentioning the situation made you feel sick. From everyone else's perspective, you looked a little broken. Your neck had dark purple finger shaped bruises, along with small lichtenberg figures from his quirk. Your face was pale and your whole demeanor came off as defeated.

"Wait...... Where's Eijiro?"

Everyone stilled. They knew why he wasn't there, but they couldn't tell you.

"He......he got held up"

"He said he would come visit whenever he could"

"Don't worry about it. Just focus on getting better, 'kay?"

You were worried, but too tired to think about it. You spent time talking to your friends for a while. Some gave you balloons, flowers, and get well cards. After telling everyone you were feeling tired, they gave you gentle hugs and waved goodbye. You later fell asleep while reading a few cards.

You wake up 3 hours later feeling slightly better. The doctor knocked on your door at that moment and ran a few tests. Once he told you that you could leave tomorrow, he left. Being left alone once more, you searched for the remote to watch TV. After digging around, you looked up at the tray table by your bed. You lay shocked at the beautiful vase of flowers that hung above you. It definitely wasn't there before you went to sleep. It was an assortment of pink and red camellias, sweet peas, and pink carnations.

They didn't come with any note. Just a vase of flowers with an eerie presence. You had a feeling who they were from so it calmed you down a little bit. For the rest of the day, you were binging old episodes of Law and Order SVU and nibbling on bad tasting hospital food. Night time was a different story though.


You were tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable in such a stiff and small mattress. You were having a hard time falling asleep. The quietness of a dark hospital room didn't make it easier. Even after falling asleep, you kept seeing blurs of reds and yellows. The ghost of hands crushing your windpipe in their grasps. Needless to say, you had a rough night.




~~~~~~~~~
It was finally the next day and you were more than ready to leave. You were given back your belongings which included your phone and uniform. You leave the hospital feeling exhausted and a little dirty. You were so ready to take a refreshing shower and sleep in your own bed. You call Mina to pick you up and 15 minutes later, she pulls up in a custom pink range rover. She had already picked up your luggage from the hotel, like the good friend she was.

You whisper a small thanks as you get in. The ride home was mostly silent since your throat was still a little sore. The soft melody of the radio with the gentle rock of the car lulled you to sleep. It wasn't until an hour later that you came to.

"Perfect timing sleeping beauty. I was just about to ask for your address."

"Oh yea. Here it is" You put your address into her GPS.

"I can't believe I gotta work tomorrow. I was really hoping for a day off to eat and sleep." Mina groans.

"You'll be fine. If you want, I can come by for lunch and we can watch a movie?" you wheeze.

"That sounds nice, but maybe you should stay home and rest. I can barely understand you right now." You open your mouth to speak but she interrupts you, "Nope. Don't argue 'cause you know I'm right. You will stay at home and won't come back until you're feeling better. Got it?"

You had no other choice but to nod. You knew she was right, you just didn't want to be by yourself. Plus, you still had a duty to the city to protect them. You don't have to speak to arrest villains.


A few minutes later, you were pulling up in front of your house. You get your things out of the car and bring them inside. You give your friend a big hug as she's about to leave. "Thanks for everything. I really appreciate it" you whisper. She gives you a wink and turns around to leave.

As the door clicks closed, you walk towards your bathroom. You flick on the light to see your tired appearance in the mirror. Your hair is all over the place with your neck almost an entirely different color. You close your eyes and exhale out your nose.

'This is gonna take a while to heal, huh' you thought.

Flashes of hands around your neck jolt you back to reality. You still couldn't believe that piece of shit did that to you. And what happened to Kirishima? He hasn't seen you or talked to you since the mission. Concerned, you get your phone and text him.

Big Red❀️πŸ₯°:

Hey, I'm out the hospital.
Haven't heard from you inna while n wanted to check up on you.
(read)

U ok?
(read)


You see he reads it and wait for him to respond. You stare at your screen a good ten minutes before he texts back

Big Red❀️πŸ₯°:

I'm fine.
(read)

You make a face at the dry remark. Wasn't he gonna ask you if you were ok? Cause you did just say you got out of the hospital.

Big Red❀️πŸ₯°:

Can I come over? I wanna talk
(read)


After 20 minutes of being left on read, you say fuck it and decide to take a shower. You strip out your dirty clothes and step into your shower. You try to scrub away the memories of Raiden and the sullen looks on Kirishima's face. You raise your washcloth/loofah to your neck and gently rub the bruised area. After you finish washing up, you step out and dry yourself. You lazily put on some lotion and threw on whatever clothes you first laid your eyes on. Not having enough energy, you leave your hair out and let it air dry. When you finally check your phone, you see a text back from Kirishima. No cutsie messages; no emojis. Just an address.

'At least it's something'

You hurriedly put some shoes on and jumped in your car. Typing his address into your GPS, you pull out of your driveway and leave. You turn on your windshield wipers to swipe away the heavy rain that appeared out of nowhere. The gloomy atmosphere sets an unnerving feeling in your stomach. Twenty minutes later, you pull up into his driveway. You stupidly forgot your umbrella, so you say screw it and jump out the car and into the pourng rain.

You run to his door and knock loudy. You hope he immediately opens the door to let you in, but he doesn't. Your hair begins to feel heavy; your clothes begin to stick to your skin, and your feet feel soaked and squishy in your shoes while you're waiting for him to open the door. It wasn't until you were about to knock again when the door slowly opened.

"Thank god. I was worr-" You cut yourself off midsentence upon seeing his appearance. His hair is messier than usual and has big dark circles underneath his eyes. His usually bright smile is nowhere to be found and his posture is bent forward. The worst part is the light in his eyes whenever you look at him is no longer there. All you see is emptiness in those once beautiful eyes that shone of brightness and joy.

"What do you want (L/N). I'm busy"

His tone is what shocked you the most. It sounded so hurt with a mix of disgust.

"I wanted to talk." You try to speak, but it only came out as little rasps and whispers. "I wanted to apologize about the kiss you saw. It wasn't-"

"You don't need to apologize. Your boyfriend needed your attention and I was just in the way" He spit out the word 'boyfriend' with so much venom, you could almost feel the sting.

"What the? No, that man was NOT my boyfriend. I was going to confront him on the roof but, well......." There was an eerie few seconds of silence while you both refused to speak allowed the events on the roof.

"You mean when he hurt you. I don't mean to be rude, but is that really the kind of guy you want in your life? Someone who disrespects you and hurts you? What if I wasn't there, huh? You could've ended up somewhere worse than a damn hospital!" You wince as he hisses out his last words.

"Wait please. You're getting it all wrong."

"Am I? 'Cause during the mission, you were with him the whole time even though I was right there" you didn't miss the way his voice cracked towards the end.

"I know and I can't even begin to apologize enough for how sorry I am. I was an idiot and it took me a minute to figure out what I wanted . Eijiro.... I-...... I like you"

There was about a good ten seconds of silence before a chilling roar of laughter broke it. You see him with a hand covering his eyes while his laughs are turning somewhat manical. Your face heats immediately from embarrassment .

"Like me? Don't fuck with me (L/N). You never liked me. You were playing with me and when you got bored, you found someone else."

Tears were slipping from your eyes at this point. "No no no please. I swear I wasn't laying no type of games. Let me in and I can explain."

"I don't think that's a good idea. I... I can't let you break me again. You meant so much to me (Y/N). I liked you so fucking much and I thought you liked me too, I really did. And what do you go do? You go on dates with someone else and kiss them in front of me. Do you have ANY idea how much that broke me?"

You open your mouth to speak but he cuts you off, voice growing louder and angrier by the second.

"No, you don't. I was ready to fully be in your life. I would've taken care of you, been your shoulder to lean on when things got hard, hell, I would've done so fuckin much for you. I would've been there the second you called my name, give up everything for you! I was willing to wait when you wanted to just be friends... but then you go out and choose someone else. You left to be with someone else when I was RIGHT THERE! I WAS RIGHT FUCKING THERE WAITING....and you played me. Did you... did you even mean anything you told me when we first met? You called me your inspiration. Was that.... Was that a lie too?"

"I swear to you that was all real, just like my confession is now. I know I messed up, but I can fix it. I can fix us. Just please let me-" you try to walk closer and reach out to touch him, but he flinches back.

"Don't-don't touch me please," His voice shakes as the flow of tears drip down his face, "I.....I can't do this anymore. I can't be around you and pretend I don't have feelings for you. I don't want to feel this pain every time I look at you. I need some space. Goodbye (L/N)."

"Wait! EIJIRO PLEASE!"

But it was too late. He already closed the door. Tears were mixing in with rain droplets while you were left soaking wet in the rain while the love of your life just admitted wanting nothing to do with you anymore. While you were trying to figure out your feelings, you were hurting the person you truly cared about.










You really fucked up.
