Chapter 5 - Comfort

"Hey, you good?" I wake up hearing Shigarakis voice, "Huh?" Since when was he here?, he sighs and says, "I heard someone sobbing, so I came in and you were crying, so I thought I'd wake you up. Have you had a nightmare?" I, completely surprised, nod and wipe my tears, just to restart crying. "P-please don't mind th-this, *sob* I'm okay..." As I say this, I break down in tears. Not wanting Boss to see my embarrassing crying face, I try to turn around, but I feel his hands firmly holding my shoulders. W-what is he doing?!

"Y/n, please tell me what happened." Shigaraki says, He's serious huh, I glance at him, w-waait, is he w-worried?!? "Ehm.. S-so..." I struggle to speak, heck I'm barely able to breathe. "Hey y/n, relax, I'll, I'll bring you some water so please calm down a bit, understood?" He says while almost running out of the room. W-what was that just now...? No, just, stop crying already!! You make others worry because of your weakness goddammit!! Argh seriously, it's my first day here and I'm making Boss worry 'bout me! "Useless, useless, useless!!" I screamed, forgetting the fact, that others may have heard me.

And of course, the one I made worry heard it clearly. I quickly close my mouth with my hands as I see the blue-haired man. He closes the door and walks up to me. I try to stop my waterfall of tears, but, of course it was impossible. "Drink." He says and gives me the water bottle. I mumble out a 'thank you' and drink almost everything at once. Shigaraki sits down, next to me on the bed and looks at me, silently waiting for me to calm down. "I-Im f-fine now, th-thank you Boss..." He pats my head and asks me to tell him, what I saw in my nightmare.

I take a deep breath and begin, "So, I-I saw how Doctor explained to Mommy, that he'll need to use me as a test object for quirk implantation, Doctor also said, that, i-if Mommy wouldn't let him use me, they would make her hurt and k-kill me..."

Please don't cry y/n. Don't cry. Just hold 'em back.

Before continuing I take another deep breath. "So, of course, Mommy gave me them, under the condition, that she'll be the one, w-who would do the experiments on me. At first it worked, but later, the experiments became more and more cruel, and Mommy couldn't stand it any longer. She couldn't see me getting hurt this much. So, she once visited me... And told me... That she'll stop the p-pain now... That it would end now... And then... Right in front of m-me... Sh-she injected s-something in-into her h-hand... And then sh-she fell beside m-me, holding m-my hand with...her cold one..." Stop crying you peace of garbage! Don't be so fucking weak in front of your Boss!! "And then, *sob*, y-you woke me u-up." He stops patting my head.. and pulls me closer... "Don't hold your tears back y/n," he caresses my back, "it's more than a perfect reason to cry. I won't think of you as a weakling for crying." He puts his other arm around me, W-what is he d-doing...? How.. No.. Stop thinking so badly about it, he told you, he won't think you're weak.. So go ahead.. Cry y/n.

"You okay now?" I nod as I wipe my tears away. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make you worry... and to take away your time." Shigaraki sighs, "Seriously, what's with that inexistent self-esteem? I would've left if I didn't want to calm you down y/n." He looks at me with his adorable, grumpy look.

"But, you know, as a compromise, you could buy me two games. The pre order will start after tomorrow." "But I don't have any money." "Tch fuck I forgot... Hahh then... Eh I dunno I'll think about something later."

"Maybe I could play some games with you...?" He looks at me, with a hella sarcastic smile, "You think you'll be able to keep up with me?" I shake my head, "No, not really, but I can't think of anything else I'm useful for."

"...well I do tho..." He says, with a slight blush on his face, "And what is it Boss?" "Firstly, you can stop calling me Boss, Tomura's fine. Second I want you to play games with me. I haven't beaten anyone I could see in my life, so I think it'll be fun to watch." Tomura walks out of my room, and I follow him.

We silently arrive at, I think his gaming room, "Ah, and forget this room exist, I don't want anyone bothering me.", he opens the door and, Oh mah gosh, so many lights and screens! " Woah your room looks soo cool!" I look at him very excited and notice a proud smirk on his with-a-hand-covered face.

He puts a second pillow on the flor in front of the TV and we both sit down. "I suppose, you haven't ever even held a joystick, right?" I nod, "*sigh* Then I'll explain you the controls."

"Y/n, you're suspiciously good for a complete starter. Are you sure you haven't played any video games before?" "Yep, 100% sure." He looks at the screen, surprised and suspicious about my answer. After he've won all the seven VS rounds, we stopped and he asks me, "Wanna eat something?" "Yes please~!" Oh god I'm sooo tired! And damn I haven't noticed how hungry I was! Tomura stands up and so do I. " You know, if you'll progress this rapidly, I think you might even become my player two." He says as we walk towards the 'kitchen', "Oh that'll take a while haha" I laugh a bit, but imagining myself as Tomura's player two even made me blush a little.

"Ehm Tomura, if I'm allowed to ask, why do you have these hands, all over your body?"
