After the meeting with All Might,
Evening,
On way back to apartment...

Midoriya's POV

I walked bouncingly at this quiet street in happiness, wearing a wide smile on my face for a while already. The meeting with All Might was a dream came true.

I can finally... Have a Quirk and become a hero! All Might will pass down his Quirk, One For All to me! I feel so happy and blessed! I have never felt such happiness in my life.

This is the most memorable moment I have ever had...

All Might's words of encouragement rang in my mind, giving a warm sensation in my heart. A faint happy blush tinted on my face as I clenched my hand close to my chest.

I kept walking and walking until I arrived at the park. I stared at this lovely place and smiled when my eyes locked on the swing. I decided to sit on it for a while.

A rush of nostalgic feeling bit me when I sat on the swing. I really missed this place. I used to play a lot at here with ___________.

Huh? So strange... Why did I can't say that word...? Wait, what am I even trying to say? Who did I play with during my childhood? Does that person even exist or it is just my imagination? I can't seem to remember...

I shook my head and looked up to the breath-taking blue sky, enjoying the view of the nature. All of a sudden, my phone began ringing noisily, breaking me out of my train of thoughts. I pulled out my phone from my skirt pocket and glanced at the screen.

Shiki-san? Why is he calling me...?

I was about to slide the green button on the screen when I heard the sound of a person's heavy breathing. I slightly lifted my head up to peek a glimpse and saw a tall man, most likely to be around his twenties wearing a black hoodie, panting non-stop. I quickly recognized who it was and proceeded to take careful steps closer to the man.

The man was looking down so he did not see me. I tapped his shoulder. He gasped lowly and rose his head up, eyes grew big when he saw me. I only gave him an awkward smile.

"Hey, Shiki-san–"

Shiki-san hugged me tightly all of sudden, catching me off guard. His strong arms tightened around my body, making me blushed a lot. I could hear his teeth grinding against each other, sending shivers down to my spines.

I-is he mad about something? D-did I offend him unintentionally?

"Shiki-san...?" I murmured under my breath before my arms wrapped neatly around his torso, hugging him back even though I was still confused. We both stay in this unusually loving, warm hug for a few good seconds.

I honestly don't want this moment to end. I want to stay with him like this just for a bit longer...

Shiki-san slowly broke apart from me. I stared at him silently with a hint of confusion, asking him to explain his action. He looked into my eyes deeply, his face unknownly darkened with frustration. I started to get worried about my friend.

(HAH. F R I E N D. Good one, Izu. Okay, I will leave now)

All of a sudden, Shiki-san gripped my wrist so tightly that I hissed in slight pain. His iron grip hurt me a bit. My eyeballs darted to his gloved hand. He was wearing a pair of black gloves that only covered his middle fingers.

This is my first time seeing him wearing gloves.

I was too into staring at his gloved hand. The sudden pull from Shiki-san snapped me out of my thoughts. I yelped in surprise when he dragged me with him. "S-Shiki-san, what is wrong? W-where are we going?" I asked, my voice sounded a bit nervous and scared. "Wherever I want." He shortly answered, his voice was very husky, a sign that he was in bad mood.

Shiki-san kept dragging me all the time until we arrived at an alleyway. I looked around this suspicious place. It was very cold and damp here. I did not like this.

Shiki-san released me from his iron grip. I rushed to him and buried my face in his solid chest, feeling extremely scared of this alleyway. "S-Shiki-san, where are we? I-I want to go home..." I sobbed, anxiety began attacking me.

Shiki-san did not answer and hugged me back in response. I was in the peak of confusion and so badly wanted to ask him his reason for doing this. But his terrifying aura scared me.

Shiki-san stroked my hair before pushing me deeper into the hug, slightly suffocating me. I shut my eyes close and everything turned black...

Midoriya's POV

Um... What happen..?

When I came to, I was laying in an unusually comfortable bed. I sat up myself, rubbing the sleepiness in my eyes away. I looked around this dark room intently.

This... Is a bedroom, right...? But where is this?

Where am I?

Shiki-san! Could it be Shiki-san brought me here?

A train of bad thoughts ran in my mind. I observed my body in panic but I was still wearing my school uniform properly. But the worry in my heart would not disappear instantly. I craddled my legs together and buried my face, sobbing.

D-did Shiki-san do something to me while I passed out just now? I hope not... I really trust him from the very bottom of my heart.

Cricking noise startled me, making me flinched in fear. The door suspiciously opened in slow motion, revealing Shiki-san in a black long sleeved-top and a pair of black pants. Our eyes met for a few seconds.

"You are awake." Shiki-san muttered as he made his way toward me. He sat next to me in the bed, sighing softly. "Shiki-san, where am I...? I mean, where are we?" I asked him without holding back.

"My room." He answered and rose his head up, staring into my eyes. He reached out his gloved-hand to my hair and stroked me gently. "W-why did you bring me here?" I nervously began questioning his action.

"Because I am worried about you, silly." Shiki-san croaked out before hugging me. "You screamed on phone, I tried calling you back for 15 times but you didn't answer, and then I found you at the park, casually greeted me like nothing happen. So now, you are staying here, with me." He hoarsely whispered into my ear, sending shivers down to my spine again.

Oh... He is just worried-
Hey wait... Did he just say I need to stay here, WITY HIM?!

I hurriedly pushed him away from me. "W-wait a minute, Shiki-san. T-this wrong... B-Besides, my mother must be worried of me right now! I have to go home--"

"I already talked to her and she allowed you to stay over here." Shiki-san exclaimed, showing to me my smartphone. "My phone!" I took it away from his hand. "Why... Did you have my phone?" I darted my eyes to Shiki-san, asking for an explanation.

Shiki-san scratched his neck, averting his gaze from me. "Well... Your phone rang while you were aslept just now so I answered the call. Turn out, it was your mother. I told her you would be staying over here until tomorrow and she gave a yes as her answer so everything is settled." He explained truthfully. I let out a small heavy sigh.

"Well, if Mom agreed then I guess it is fine..." I murmured under my breath and placed my phone on a drawer nearby.

"But still, I don't understand. Why... Why did you have to bring me to your place?" I built up courage to ask him. "So that I can keep my eyes on you. You got attacked by villain on your way home, weren't you?" His voice suddenly became husky when he said that. I chewed on my bottom lip and hesitantly nodded.

"I was right..." Shiki-san murmured, his hands messing with his hair. I looked down in guilt. "I told you, I should walk you home... But you never listen to me, Midori... So, from now on..." Shiki-san grabbed my chin and gazed into my eyes.

"...You can't defy me and let me walk you home, everyday. It is all because you tend to get in trouble involving villains... All the time." Shiki-san sighed long. "Well, my ex-boyfriend often tells me that I am a villains magnet because I tend to attract villains to come after me." I sheepishly laughed off to lighten up the mood.

But Shiki-san remained silent, his face darkened with seriousness. "Did I look like I'm fooling around, Midori? I'm very serious right now. Well, I guess I still have to agree with your ex-boyfriend's statement." He said blankly.

Shiki-san let me go from his hand and stared into the blank space. I just watched him quietly.

Why is he so worried about me?

"Next time... Don't do that again." He said.

"Huh?" I tilted my head confusedly.

"Don't get me worried like this ever again." He reminded me before pushing me in his bed, causing me to lay with him on top of me.

I blushed at our current position. A low growl escaped his mouth. He laid himself next to me and wrapped his arm around my waists. His eyes slowly shut close. "I'm tired..." He whispered. "Me... Me too..." I ran my fingers through his soft hair.

This moment... This position... Kinda remind me of Dabi... I miss cuddling with him in bed like this...

I wish... This can happen again... But now it seems like distant dream...

And the one I'm hugging right now isn't my boyfriend... But my...

My...

My...

Without I realizing, I already fell into a deep sleep, not finishing my thoughts out of exhaustion.
