Shigaraki x Barista Reader
âYour Number.â (Fluff)
Danm it...
DANM IT!.
it was you again... the same woman who'd always be working in the coffee shop. your usual 9 to 4 shift,Saturdays to Wednesdays to where on Thursday, to Saturday youd do your daily chores, errands or relaxing...
There you were again... and again... every morning handing Tomura his usual Plain coffee with two sugar packets and you could never forget his stirring stick.
Once again in a repeated schedule Tomura would go every morning only during the days when you work at 10 am for his coffee, 9 was too early to see you.. he didn't seem THAT desperate for your attention but later on he had to things... 10... well.. 10 was perfect.
This had been his routine now, to get this coffee and see you behind that counter... the place was nearly always empty when Tomura was there but he didn't mind that at all...
He was here just for you after all...
He'd always have his snarky yet bold attitude towards you... yet you never minded?
He couldn't help to wonder why...did he hate it? Maybe... Maybe not?
Even when he wasn't in his best moods and was acting all cocky and harsh you'd still be nice.
It'd been pissing him off for quite awhile now... his anger with your kindness, your niceness towards his bullshit... you never called him out, never insulted him, never made any bad remarks or said anything rude. Just the same
'good morning!',
'what can I get for you?' bullshit. What did you think of him? Really... Did you even think he was attractive, or cool... or funny? Or was he just like some rude customer you put up with... what the hell were you thinking...?
It was driving him nuts, his mind racing... he just had to know what you were thinking... maybe you thought he was attractive, maybe you even found him attractive and cute, or at the least charming... it's not like he was some hideous creature or anything... his thoughts started to become more and more lewd and intrusive as his eyes slowly traced your body from behind the counter... damn it... His eyes started wandering down your body, thinking about what you looked like underneath your uniform, your skirt and your top and... dammit all-
He began to feel a slight heat rising to his face, quickly covering his reddening cheeks with his hand, scratching his cheek with his long, bitten back nails. This was a bad habit of his when he got nervous.
âDamnit... no no no...â he mumbled, rubbing his fingers over his rough neck, trying to quell the intrusive thoughts that we're growing more and more prominent in his head. He was getting all worked up over a woman just because she was nice to him, and she was attractive... he let out a low, exasperated sigh, his eyes remaining fixated on you the entire time while you prepared his coffee.
He continued to stare at you from where he stood, letting his eyes travel up and down your form, tracing every detail of your figure. He found himself becoming increasingly distracted, trying (and failing) to control his thoughts.
It's all your fault... you were too damn nice, too nice to a person like him, and that was just encouraging the thoughts he was having about you...
His scratching suddenly became more intense as he became more and more agitated... he felt trapped. Trapped in this seemingly endless cycle of infatuation and desire, unable to escape the hold you had over him. He needed to say something, anything, to break the silence between the both of you. Taking a deep breath, he hesitantly looked back up at you, his eyes filled with a mix of frustration and something else he wouldn't admit.
As he continued to stare he couldn't help but to wonder... would you be into him?
He could have sworn you Knew he was a villain. The moment where one day he had accident let down his mask in front if you as you stood in shock but quickly composed yourself to continue on and take his order.
He knew he wasn't the typical ideal type, He was too much of a dick, too standoffish with an attitude that didn't help much at all with making him approachable. He was awkward, he knew that much, his awkwardness could be endearing in some ways... but it would probably be a major turn off for most people.
His thoughts continued to race as he tried to figure you out.
'Fuck it.' Was all that rang in his mind as he subconsciously moved his body towards you.
'wait... wait..! Stop-... stop moving-!' His mind panicked as he stood infront of the counter as you looked up at him with a tilting head of confusion
"Do you need something sir?" You curiously asked
Dammit... he cursed himself, internally facepalming as he realised what he was doing, his eyes darting to the floor in embarrassment.
Why was it so damn hard to just ask... you...
It's was as if something was holding him back, like something inside him was keeping him from spitting it out. He felt pathetic, standing in front of you like a shy teenager with a crush.
As he heard you speak, he suddenly became acutely aware of the way you addressed him.
Sir? Why was it 'sir...' he was only twenty for Christ sake...
He scratched his neck again, trying to hide his reddened cheeks.
"I'd... like your number..." he mumbled, trying to sound as disinterested as possible as he forced himself to look up into your face, his eyes avoiding direct eye contact, instead focusing on the counter.
He knew it was a direct request and maybe a little bit sudden... but it had been gnawing at him for months now and he just... he just couldn't keep it in anymore.
"I'm sorry?" You furrowed your brows in confusion you didnât hear him through his mumbles, you leaned over the counter to hear him better. He leaned forwards, his hands gripping the edge of the counter as he repeated himself a bit more clearly.
"I asked for your number..."
He was so close, the only thing separating them was the counter top itself. He could smell the faint scent of pertume on you, as well as faint traces of coffee that clung to your clothing and skin.
Number? Like your employee number?âŠ.
"Is there a complaint you'd like to do?" You looked up at him with worry. Did your services not satisfy him? Was it a complain?
He let out an annoyed grunt, rolling his eyes at your confusion.
"No, no... there's no complaint... I just..." he paused, his mind running in circles trying to find the words to say.
"I just, I-" he was getting flustered again, his heart racing in his chest as he looked at you. He had come all this way, he was so close to asking... so why did he feel so damn nervous?
Your eyes furrowed deeply as you tried to understand his stuttered words.
He cursed internally, frustrated by his inability to express himself properly. He knew he probably looked like a complete idiot right now, standing there and stammering like an imbecile, but he just couldn't push the words out.
This was so damn frustrating...
He knew what he wanted, he knew what to ask for but his damn mind and mouth just weren't cooperating.
He took a deep breath and tried again.
"just-" he started, still refusing to make eye contact with you. His fingers dug into the edge of the counter as he tried to calm his racing heartbeat.
"Just... give me your number... please..." Please? he thought in disbelief. He rarely used please... hell, he hardly ever said please. But somehow it just slipped out without him realising.
His heart beat faster as he waited for your response, mentally preparing himself for the possibility of rejection...
"M-m-my number?" You stuttered out as your cheeks rose red, as you began to realize he wanted your number. sure you'd get asked for your number not often but time to time by a couple of different men. But during work? With a customer you Knew was a villain? You wanted to decline but danm it you've been crushing on him for what? The longest he's ever came to the shop?
He couldn't help but notice the way your cheeks became flushed, a slight blush spreading across your face. For some reason that made his gut twist in a way he wasn't quite used to...
He leaned a bit further forwards, his eyes darting from the counter, to your face and back again, hoping that his intense look wasn't too off putting.
"Yes... your number..." he repeated, the words leaving his mouth a bit more firmly this time. He was nervous, anxious even, but he was determined to get what he came for.
"O-oh...o-okay um.." you nervously shuffled through the counter to find a pen and paper
He couldn't believe it. You were actually... agreeing? That was unexpected.
He'd thought you'd turn him down, maybe say your weren't interested, or that it was against policy for employees to give out their personal information to customers...
He watched you intently as you searched through the storage underneath the counter, his heart thumping in his chest.
He couldn't stop himself from scratching at his neck again...
"Hurry up..." he mumbled, his impatience growing with every second that passed.
He wanted your number, he needed your number as soon as possible.
He glanced around, noticing how some of the other customers were shooting him weird looks from their seats, probably wondering why he was leaned over the counter so much.
He grumbled under his breath, wishing they would mind there own damn business...
You finally found a pen and ripped an empty recipe paper nervously writing down your number as you bit the inside your your cheek.
He watched as you hastily scribbled your number down, his eyes eagerly following the movement of your hand.
His heart rate was increasing by the second, the anxiousness and anticipation was almost too much for him to handle.
He leaned himself forwards even further, his arms pressing against the counter as he craned his neck to get a better view of the number you were putting down.
Finally, after what felt like a lifetime, you stopped writing, ripping the piece of paper from the recipe book and holding it out to him.
He stared at it for a moment, his eyes fixed on the numbers you had written on it.
This was it. Your number... he could finally have a direct way of communicating with you...
He quickly snatched the piece of paper out of your hand, holding it between his fingers as if it was the most precious thing in the world.
He could feel the excitement building inside of him, his pulse racing as he folded the piece of paper and stuffed it into his pocket.
He looked back up at you, and for a split second, he almost felt like he was on cloud nine. But just as quickly as the feeling came, the reality of what he had just done hit him like a truck.
He'd just gotten the number of a woman he had zero chances of actually getting, and he didn't even know how to talk to women. He was in way over his head already.
He quickly attempted to school his expression, trying to maintain his usual bored and nonchalant expression, not wanting to let on how much this interaction had affected him.
But as he stared at your nervous expression and flushed cheeks, he realised he was failing miserably. He could feel his own face heating up, the tips of his ears feeling warm as the realisation hit him. He cleared his throat, attempting to compose himself before speaking.
"Thanks..." he mumbled, his voice coming out more gruffly than he had intended.
He knew he should probably say something else, anything else, but he was tongue tied.
His mind was racing a mile a minute, trying to think of something to say to make this situation less awkward. He fidgeted with the paper in his pocket, his fingers tracing over the numbers written on it.
"U-um-âŠT-thank you..." you softly spoke as you looked at his hidden features. Your ears were dusted with a hue of red as you looked up at him with the most loving eyes. He couldn't help but notice the way your eyes softened as you spoke, the look of admiration and affection in your gaze making his heart skip a beat.
He felt a sudden rush of heat to his cheeks, his body reacting involuntarily to your look.
He quickly looked away, desperately trying to hide the effect you were having on him.
"Whatever..." he mumbled, attempting to sound disinterested and unbothered but failing miserably.
He dug his hands into the pockets of his hoodie, his fingers gripping the piece of paper that held your number. He knew he should probably leave now, he had gotten what he came for, after all... but something was stopping him from walking out the door.
He glanced back at you, his gaze lingering on your face for a moment too long before he spoke up again. "I..uh, I should get going..."
"Y-yeah um-" you cleared your throat before continuing
"yea... thank you for...coming,"
He nodded in response, his heart beating a little faster as he realised that this was it, he was actually leaving.
"Yeah, no problem...thanks..for your number ..again." he mumbled, trying to hide the disappointment in his voice.
He started to slowly back away from the counter, his eyes still fixed on you. He didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay here and talk to you, but he knew he couldn't.
"I'll..see you around..." he finally managed to say, giving you one last glance before turning and making his way towards the door.
âY-yeah..â
As you watched him leave you felt your heart flutter with nervousness... excitement...happiness..., you held on to your chest with quivered lips as you watched him leave.
He pushed the doors open, stepping out into the bustling mall. He could feel his heart beating faster than usual, his mind racing with thoughts of you. He put his hands in his pockets again, his fingers automatically tracing over the piece of paper that had your number.
He could still smell the faint scent of perfume and coffee lingering in his nostrils, a constant reminder of just how close he had been to you.
As he walked through the mall, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disbelief.
He, a villain, had just gotten the number of a cute, innocent worker. He smirked, a small chuckle escaping his lips as he thought about the whole interaction. It was so cliché, so movie-like, he felt like a damn fool. He had acted like a bumbling idiot almost the whole time, stuttering and blushing like a preteen boy with a crush.
He shook his head, trying to snap himself out of his thoughts. But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't forget the way you looked at him.
It replayed over and over in his mind, a never ending loop of your soft eyes and flushed cheeks.
As he continued to walk, he suddenly realised something.He had no idea what to do with your number.Sure, he had it now, but what was he supposed to do with it? Text you? Call you? He wasn't even sure if you'd actually respond.
He cursed under his breath, shoving his hands further into his pockets as he tried to figure out his next move. He considered just throwing the piece of paper away, it would probably save him a lot of trouble in the long run...
But as much as he tried to convince himself, he couldn't bring himself to do it. The thought of letting go of your number, of losing the only direct way he had of communicating with you, was too much for him to bear.
He needed that number, he had to have it. It was like some kind of sick obsession, the need to have this small piece of paper was driving him insane.
He grumbled to himself, frustrated by the conflicting emotions coursing through him. He didn't understand it, he didn't understand why he felt so drawn to you, why he felt this intense desire to have your attention. He had never felt like this before, not for anyone. It was like you had a hold on him, a power over him that he couldn't break free from.
He wasn't even sure if he wanted to break free, that's what worried him. He was becoming too attached to you, too obsessed...
As he continued walking, he suddenly caught sight of his reflection in a store window.
He looked a mess, his hair was sticking up at odd angles, his eyes were wide and dilated, and his cheeks were flushed red.
He quickly looked away, cursing under his breath again. Why did he look so damn flushed? Why was he acting like some love sick fool?
He gritted his teeth, feeling a wave of self loathing wash over him. It was pathetic, it was... embarrassing. He couldn't let anyone know how he was acting, they'd think he was weak, soft. It was bad enough that you had probably noticed his odd behaviour, if anyone else found out he'd never hear the end of it.
He had been walking for what felt like forever, his mind a tangled mess of thoughts and feelings. He was becoming frustrated, irritated at himself for being such a coward.
He had you number, he could text you right now if he wanted to... but he didn't know what to say.
He didn't want to come across as too forceful or inappropriate...
He let out an annoyed sigh, pulling the piece of paper out of his pocket again and staring down at the numbers scrawled on it.
He could feel the paper crumpling under his grip, his fist clenching subconsciously as he looked at it. as he stared down at the paper, reading the numbers over and over again, he knew it was pointless to try and deny it.
He was obsessed with you, completely and utterly obsessed. He couldn't go an hour without thinking about you, wondering what you were doing, if you were thinking about him...
He was a goner, and he knew it.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket, quickly unlocking it placing in your number, opening up the messaging app.
He stared at the screen, watching the cursor blink silently as he tried to gather his thoughts.
What did he say? Should he be direct and straight to the point? Should he try to be casual and charismatic? Should he text you right away or wait until later?
He groaned in frustration, his fingers hovering over the keyboard but unable to type anything.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He had to do this, he had to send you a message. It didn't matter what it said, as long as he got the chance to talk to you.
He started a new message, staring at the blinking cursor again.
"Hey" he typed, then immediately deleting it. No, that was too casual. Too generic. He needed something more unique, something that would grab your attention.
He tried again, his fingers moving furiously over the keys.
"Sup?" No, that was too casual. Too dismissive. He didn't want to sound disinterested.
He backspaced again, trying a different approach.
"Hello." No, that was too formal. Too abrupt. It would make him sound like a creep.
He cursed under his breath, struggling to find the right words to say.
He didn't want to come across as too desperate or too casual. He had to find the sweet spot, the perfect message that would get your attention without sounding clingy or creepy.
He tried again, his fingers trembling as he typed.
"Hey, it's me..." he typed, then quickly deleted it. No, that was too vague. That would make you question who he was.
He grumbled to himself, getting more and more frustrated by the second.
He knew he was overthinking this, making a mountain out of a molehill...
But something about you just made his brain turn to mush.
He took another deep breath, trying to steady his nerves.
He had to just bite the bullet and type something, anything. It didn't matter what, as long as it got the conversation started.
He typed quickly, before he had a chance to second guess himself.
âIt's Tomura.â he wrote, then quickly typed another message.
âThe guy who came into the coffee store earlier.â
'Black hoodie and blueish hair?â You replied in a instant.
He chuckled at your description, his heart fluttering a bit at the fact that you remembered what he was wearing.
'Yeah, that's me.' he typed, a small, barely noticeable smile gracing his lips.
Tomura x reader (smut)
âMessaging.â
New message from -BRAT-
âHeyâ
âY/n I'm busyâ
He texts back a few minutes later, his annoyance in the short reply was almost palpable. Sheesh.
âWhat ya doing?â
Tomura groans reading your next message and rolls his eyes. Did you not understand the concept of him being busy? He was in the middle of something, he didn't have time to chat
âI told you I'm busy.â
He quickly texts back, his patience was already wearing thin.
'Right haha sorryâ
Tomura can't help but scoff at how quickly you gave up-annoyed that you apologized and didn't press further. He was expecting more of a back and forth but not even a minute later you apologized and backed down.
âDon't be such a pushoverâ
He texts back with a bit of annoyance, but not necessarily at you, more so he wanted you to put up a fight
He sighs, tapping his foot impatiently against the floor as he glances around the small room. It's a rather boring room-grey walls, grey carpet, and a single bed in the corner. He was staying in a shitty motel for the night since it was already getting late.
He glances at his phone, seeing you hadn't replied yet. He was hoping you'd respond but was starting to think you didn't feel like it. He didn't think he had been too rude earlier...
"Tch..."
He mumbles quietly, scrolling through a shitty phone game to pass time. The more time that passed with you not replying, the more he started to overthink.
Usually you'd keep pushing him, yet for some reason today you hadn't. It was annoying how much you were suddenly acting so passive.
He checks his phone one more time to see if you had answered yet but sighs seeing the last message was still his.
Tomura puts his phone down on the bed, running a hand through his hair and down the back of his neck. He felt a small pang in his chestâ something akin to guilt or regret. Was he being too rude earlier? He didn't think so but he was used to you being feisty and pushing back...
He rolls over onto his back and glances up at the ceiling, staring at a stain in the corner as thoughts start swirling around in his head. He really was overthinking this.
'Sorry I was taking a showerâ
Tomura feels slight relief at finally getting a response from you, but also gets strangely annoyed all of a sudden. He can't understand why you apologizing again irks him this timeâhe just feels pissed at the fact that you're being so submissive, so obedient. Why weren't you pushing back?
âDidn't askâ
He texts back quickly with a scoff, his response sarcastic and bitchy
'Bitch.'
Tomura doesn't expect that kind of response. His eyes widen a little in shock and he slowly sits up on the bed. He smirks at your words and laughs quietly to himself â there you were, finally putting up a fight.
âGood to know you haven't lost your attitudeâ
He texts back, hoping to get some type of conversation going. It was boring as hell and he was starting to be antsy.
âWhatever I was trying to be nice but all I see is a pissy boyfriendâ
Tomura is a bit taken back at being called "pissy". He was more annoyed and bored if anything, but you were right about the boyfriend part. He was being a bit sour.
âShut up. I'm not pissy I'm just busy and your ass kept messaging me even though I told you so. You're the one being a pain in my ass right now.â
He texts back, a tinge of irritation in his words even though he's kinda amused
'Two messages are you dense?'
âDoesn't matter how many times you texted. I still said I'm busy and told you to knock it off.â
He rolls his eyes, getting a tad more annoyed that you're being a smart ass but not too annoyed to not entertain it. As much as he can't admit it, he did miss your little back-and-forth. It was interesting. Plus having someone to chat with distracted him from the boredom currently taking over his thoughts.
âWhatever are you still busy? Or are you with your side piece?'
Tomura can practically feel himself getting more irritable by the minute. How little did you trust him? Why would you automatically assume he'd go and see another woman? The fact that it kinda stung that you'd think that pissed him off
âYou know damn well I'm not with a side piece. Besides who in their right mind would even put up with me?â
He texts back, leaning back against the headboard of the crappy motel bed with a huff
âUnfortunately me.'
âShut up. You make it sound like putting up with me is a choreâ
He grumbles, not amused at your sarcastic comeback. He wants to say something harsh to you to get you riled up but can't find the words that won't make him sound like a jackass. So he keeps it short and simple, and thankfully his next message from you pops up on his phone before he has time to think too much on what to say next. He looks at your response and huffs, shaking his head as he types back.
'It is babe.'
Tomura can feel himself get more worked up by each text from you. You were really being a sarcastic ass today. He couldn't even deny the fact that you were correct in what you said. It was usually a chore to put up with him and he knew that... but that didn't mean it hurt any less to be reminded of itâ by his own partner no less.
âShut it. Be nice to me damnitâ
'I tried to be and you called me a pushover.'
Tomura's hands clench into fists as he reads the last message. You were right, you did try being nice and he essentially just told you to shove off. He's starting to feel guilty... but of course he can't show that
âThat's 'cause you'd been acting like one by apologizing and backing off so damn quicklyâ
âI forgot you like it when I get all bitchy'
Tomura has to bite back a grin at your last message. The fact that you were fully aware of how he liked it when you were snarky and challenging was amusing to him. It was also a slight turn on too...
âYou damn right I do. I like you better when you're biting back.â
'whateverrr. Hurry up and get home.'
Tomura feels a small sense of giddyness at your next message. You wanted him to come home. You missed him? He can feel the corners of his lips tug up into a small, uncharacteristic grin
âI will. I'm almost done up here then I'll be back. Still can't believe you're being so clingy though.â
'well I miss you and your dick.'
Tomura nearly drops his phone as he reads your message. The grin on his face grows wider into a smirk and he can't help the flush that's creeping across his cheeks. Out of all the responses he was expecting... that wasn't one of them
âYou miss my dick huh? What happened to you being so innocent I gotta remind you to watch your language?â
'Oh please you don't say that when you stuff it down my throat'
Tomura's dick twitches slightly at your last message, immediately imagining you on your knees for him. He groans quietly to himself, quickly typing a response back as his free hand comes up to run through his messy hair.
âWatch it babe. Keep talking like that and I might never make it backâ
He gets a sudden idea, one that he's not sure you'd like but it's worth a try
âHold on, gimme a sec. I have and ideaâ
âOh?â
Tomura quickly opens the camera app on his phone, setting it to the front camera
âI'm gonna send you something but I want you to promise that you won't freak out.â
âI swear if it's another one of those videos where you torture someone I'm losing it.â
Tomura rolls his eyes, not surprised that you'd think that. He can't help but laugh a little at how wrong you can be sometimes.
Although, in all fairness, he was unpredictable and the videos of him 'messing with' unsuspecting heroes probably didn't help
âNo, I'm not sending you a murder video. I'm not stupid.â
"Good.'
He scoffs, typing his next text
âYou gotta have more faith in me babeâ
He holds up his phone so his face is visible, and with his free hand, he reaches under the hem of his shirt, his palm coming to rest just above the waistband of his sweatpants. He smirks into the camera, his eyes locking on the phone as he clicks send. He's anxious to see how you respond to the picture, since the only thing visible in the picture are his face, bare stomach, and his sweatpants that are being tugged down slightly
'Fuck.â
âThat was hot.'
Tomura reads your response and he can't help but smirk, feeling a wave of pride at how you reacted to the picture. He was so damn right to send it and get you worked up. He texts you back within the minute, the smirk still plastered on his face
âYa like it?â
As you viewed his picture repeatedly you quickly send him a picture of you in his favorite langire as you set the camera showing off your curved body as you stroke a sexy pose on his bed.
Tomura's eyes widen at the picture that suddenly pops up on his phone. You were in his favorite underwear that he bought for you. You were laying on his side of the bed in a seductive pose and it looks like you've already spread your legs a bit...
âGoddamn...â
He whispers, feeling his sweatpants get tighter as he stares at the picture
He quickly types another message, his breaths a little shorter as he stares at the picture you sent as he takes it in slowly
âYou're trying to kill me aren't you?â
âYou started it, Do you have any idea how much I need you.?'
Tomura feels his chest tighten a bit at your words, wanting nothing more than to be able to touch you himself. His hand that's above the waistband of his sweats dips a little lower, a frustrated huff leaving his lips
âI'll be back soon. That's a promiseâ
He sighs and glances away from the phone and back up at the ceiling of the crappy motel. Part of him is tempted to send you another picture but he stops himself, thinking it'll be better if he waited until he got home to get his hands on you himself.
As he tried to dose off he got another notification. You had send him a video of you folding your tits together with one hand as you looked up at the camera with those stupid lustful eyes.
Tomura's dick twitched as he watched, his need growing with every second. He could feel his pre-cum already starting to dampen his boxers as he saw his girlfriendâs naked body. Youâre beginning to explore your body, cupping your breasts, squeezing and pinching your nipples, which stood erect and begging for attention. Tomura imagined it was his mouth working on those nipples, sucking and teasing them with his tongue.
Tomura couldn't take it anymore. He needed release, and he needed it now. He stripped off his clothes, his hands already working on the button of his sweats. As he threw his clothes aside, his cock sprang free, hard and dripping. He grasped it tightly, pumping it slowly as he imagined your mouth wrapping around his length, your lips kissing and sucking the tip.
He closed his eyes, letting the video play in his mind, feeling the warmth of the room and the tight pull of desire in his balls. He imagined you were there, your mouth working its way down his body, tasting every inch of him, your hands teasing his balls, playing with them, squeezing gently as your tongue flicked and teased.
Tomura's breathing quickened as he stroked his dick, faster now, a steady rhythm as the head of his cock glistened with pre-cum. His imagination was on fire, he pictured your mouth taking him deep, your throat working as you took him to the back of their mouth, sucking hard, your eyes looking up at him, full of desire.
Fuck he needed you so badly. He was this close to waiting it out, to not touch himself while he was away from your aching body. But you had to send him the most sexy video.
His hand bucked up and down his needy cock as his thump bullied his pink top just how you would.
âF-fuck-..â his voice rasped lowly as he tried to hold in his moans.
âNeed you so badly.. s-shit..â he groaned as you continued his movements his balls becoming sloppy bouncing up and down his movements and his tip dripping with pre-cum.
He tilted his head back from all the lent up frustration as he groaned softly.
âH-haa..â he muffled out as he felt himself come closer to his release. His hands gripped around his cock as he hurried his movements rapidly.
âS-shit shit shit y-y/n..â he groaned and grunted as he felt his cock twitch rapidly while he released. As he continued his movements rising his high his breath rasped and hitched.
His cum oozed out his twitching cock dropping down his hand to his sloppy balls. He quickly picked up his phone snapping a quick picture of the sight sending it straight to you.
âYouâre such a damn brat. Youâll get that when I get back, You want me to get you pregnant huh? You want me to come back home and knock you up. Is that what you want?`
Tomura Shigaraki X reader
âStupid Questions.â
You were sitting on the bed, your back rested on the backboard. Tomura laid in between your tights as he played his most rageful games.
"Tomu..." you softly spoke as you twirled and played with his soft puffy hair.
He groaned as he felt your gentle fingers play with his locks, but he didn't dare move. In his mind he was more focused on the game, and he did not want to lose.
"..What..?"
"Can I ask you a question?..." you almost whispered as you looked down on him.
He grumbled under his breath as you questioned him mid-game. He felt annoyed, but he decided to answer in the end.
"What."
"What do you like about me?.." you spoke out as your heart thumped patiently waiting to hear what he had to say.
The question surprised him as he paused his game, giving you a side-eye glance.
He remained silent for a few seconds as if thinking, before he finally spoke.
'...Why do you ask...?"
He tried to maintain his usual emotionless demeanor, but the fact he paused the game spoke volumes on his genuine curiosity.
"just wondering..." your took a strand of his hair as you twirled it letting it go to turn into a somewhat curly spiral
He watched you play with his hair, your soft touch feeling nice on his head, and his usual stoic expression softened a bit.
"...Don't ask me stupid questions when I'm in the middle of a game."
He grumbled, his focus shifting to the game as he un-paused and continued playing.
"Oh..." your heart stopped thumping fast as your lips quivered,
"right..." you replied as you looked up to see him play to distract your mind instead.
He could feel your disappointment, and a tinge of guilt tugged at him. He was never one for sweet words, but he hated the thought of disappointing you in any way.
He took a sidelong glance at you, noticing your sad expression, which made him feel even more guilty. He grumbled under his breath, hesitating before he finally spoke again.
"I like... how gentle you are with me."
Your face quickly lid up , You tried to hide your happiness at his response as you looked down at him waiting to hear what else he had to say.
He felt a subtle blush creeping across his cheeks, uncharacteristic for him. He was clearly not used to this but continued nonetheless, trying to keep up his indifferent appearance.
"You... You know how to deal with me when I'm angry, you... don't push me too hard, and you..."
He stumbled over his words for a moment, searching for what to say next.
â..You know how to deal with me and you... tolerate my bullshit."
He muttered, his usual stoic veneer cracking a bit. He hated being vulnerable like this, but he also hated not giving you what you wanted.
He kept his eye on the game, avoiding your gaze.
If it was anymore possible your lips widen at his words, it felt nice being told that he liked about you...it was rare to see this side of Tomura... and you love it.
He could feel your eyes on him, and it was driving him insane. He hated being scrutinized like this, it made him feel vulnerable and exposed.
He wanted to look at you, but at the same time he didn't. He was torn between his usual grumpy indifference and wanting to give you the attention you wanted.
He grumbled under his breath, his grip on the game controller tightening.
'..Stop looking at me like that."
"Can't help it..."
His breath hitched at your response. He tried to maintain his composure, but he could feel his heart racing as he heard the playful tone in your voice.
He kept his focus on the game, but he was starting to lose his concentration. He was now more focused on how you were looking at him, and it was making him feel all sorts of things he didn't expect.
'..You're such a pain in the ass."
He grumbled, his hands feeling slightly sweaty against the controller.
"You wanna know what I like about you?"
You hummed as you took your eyes off him and watched him play.
He huffed in annoyance, but he was still paying attention to your words. He continued playing, albeit more distracted now due to your question.
He didn't respond, but he gave a small nod, indicating for you to continue.
"I like your protective...." You hummed with a smile plastered on you as you cupped his cheeks softly enough to not distract him.
His shoulders tensed slightly as you cupped his cheeks, but he leaned into your touch all the same. His heart thudded in his chest at your words, and he had to force himself to keep his focus on the game.
He grumbled under his breath, his cheeks feeling warm against your hand.
'Keep going."
You softly giggled at his words but even so you continued.
"I like it when although you're mad you still tell me to be careful or to take care when you have to go and never let me sleep upset..." your thumbs rubbed softly at his cheeks.
He tried to act nonchalant, but he couldn't stop himself from blushing. His face was turning redder by the second as you continued to praise him, and he could feel his heart beating faster and faster.
He grumbled under his breath, trying to disguise his growing embarrassment as irritation.
"...Shut up."
He muttered as he tried to concentrate on the game, but his fingers were starting to slip on the controller.
He was getting more and more flustered as you continued to praise him, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of annoyance and affection towards you. He knew he should pretend like he didn't care, but deep down he was loving every second of this.
"I love it when you act like you don't care if I'm upset or disappointed... but you still do little acts to cheer me up..." you giggled at the thought.
Tomura's heart thumped wildly in his chest at your words. He loved and hated the fact that you knew him so well. He tried to act like your praise meant nothing to him, but it was clear that it was affecting him greatly.
He tried to keep his focus on the game, but his fingers were now trembling slightly, and he was having a hard time controlling his character.
He grumbled under his breath, blushing even harder now.
'..Don't make me sound soft."
"Oh-!..I also love how cute you look while sleeping...when you pull me in to be closer...your face resting in between my chest."
You laughed as you continued rubbing on his cheeks looking down at his focused eyes on the game.
His face felt like it was on fire. No one had ever seen him like this before, and he was starting to feel overwhelmed.
He was struggling to retain his usual calm composure as you described how he acted when he was vulnerable, and it was making it all the harder to concentrate on the game.
He grumbled again, his voice betraying a hint of embarrassment.
'..Knock it off. I'm trying to play a damn game here."
As you fell silent, he finally had the chance to regain his focus. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heartbeat. He was slowly starting to regain control of the game, but he couldn't completely ignore your presence next to him.
He could still feel your eyes on him, and he knew you were probably still smiling.
It was both annoying and endearing, and he wasn't sure how to feel about it.
He continued playing, but he was more aware of you than he was of the game itself.
"I love you.." you whispered softly as you watched him play
Tomura's fingers froze on the controller at your words. He wasn't used to hearing those words, and it always caught him off guard. He grumbled under his breath, feeling his cheeks heating up again.
He tried to act unfazed and continued playing the game, but his heart was racing.
He wanted to say the same, but the words just wouldn't come out. He was too embarrassed and too stubborn to admit it out loud. Instead, he just grumbled under his breath again and focused on the game, silently hoping you knew how he felt.
He continued playing the game, his mind preoccupied with your words. Your confession had left him feeling a mix of emotions, and he was having a hard time processing it all.
He kept his eyes fixated on the screen, but he was no longer really focused on the game. Instead, he was more aware of your presence next to him, the feel of your hands on his cheeks, and the sound of your voice.
He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice his character dying on the screen until it was too late.
"God damn it..." he cursed as the game over screen appeared. He grumbled under his breath and tossed the controller aside in annoyance, turning his attention back to you.
He looked up at you, his expression a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment.
You leaned down and nuzzled your nose with his,
"it's okay..." you whispered before pressing your lips against his to calm his frustrations
Tomura's heart nearly skipped a beat as your nose nuzzled against his. He was about to say something snarky, but your quick action shut him up instantly.
He froze for a moment, his mind going blank as he felt the softness of your lips against his. The shock of it all caught him off guard, and he couldn't even react at first.
He was still in a daze from your unexpected kiss, but he instinctively leaned into your touch as you played with his hair. The soothing feeling of your fingers against his scalp was calming, and he found himself relaxing against your thighs.
He closed his eyes, a subtle hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
He tried to stay grumpy and act like this didn't affect him, but deep down, he was secretly loving every minute of it.
He lay there, letting you play with his hair and enjoying the feeling of your fingers caressing his scalp. He was tempted to say something snarky, but he didn't want to ruin the moment.
Instead, he just lay there in silence, his heart racing and his mind swirling with conflicting emotions. On one hand, he was annoyed at how easily you had disarmed him. On the other hand, he was grateful for the comfort and attention you were giving him.
"I love you..." you repeated your words,
Tomura's eyes opened at the sound of your voice, his heart skipping a beat as you repeated those three words. He hated how hearing those words from you made him feel so vulnerable, but at the same time, he couldn't deny that he loved it.
He grumbled under his breath, but this time, his usual bite wasn't there.
"...! love you too..." he muttered quietly, his voice barely audible.

âTomura!!â
"I can feel your tiny buldge practically grinding on me!âŠ"
Tomura's cheeks turned red as he heard your blunt statement, clearly caught off guard by your directness. He was not expecting you to be so upfront.
"W-what?"
He sputtered, clearly embarrassed by your observation. He tried to back away, but found himself unable to due to the fact that he still had you pinned against the wall.
"For a villain your pretty small" you snickered softly.
Tomura's face turned even redder as you insulted him, clearly not used to being talked to like that.
"Shut up, I'm average!"
He shot back, clearly offended by your comment. He tried to keep a stoic expression, but it was obvious that your words had struck a nerve.You laughed out loud as you tried to cover your mouth from louder laughs escaping,
"you sure?"

âmiller's on your ass today.âÂ
you sighed, your gaze flickering from the beautiful, authentic sun setting over the cityâs buildings to the blazing, sun-colored dork next to you. Â
âi mean reallyââ he pulled out a gummy bearâ from what seemed to be his never-ending side pocket stash âand stuffed it into his mouth. âyouâd think the divorce would give the old bastard a revelation or something. but noooo, heâs still a bitch.â his confident gossip bubbled down into a dramatic murmur as he eventually shrugged his shoulders.Â
you sighed again, head dropping into your hands as it throbbed, too sc
rambled to focus on keigo's deep interest in your manager's love life. âi need a job.â
âyou have two.â keigo retorted as he moved to cross his arms.Â
âi need another one.â you massage your temples before letting your hands fall to your sides.Â
keigo scoffed. âyouâre really not making enough?âÂ
ânot if i don't want to be drowning in student debt for the rest of my life.â you complained.Â
keigo pressed his lips together and scrunched his nose. it was the face he made when he wanted to argue on but knew better than to. the back of his head hit the brick wall behind you two as he too, stopped to a sigh. âwell, i hear thereâs a new club down the block. LOVE, or something?â
âlove? like the word?â your voice peaked as you looked at him.Â
keigo's fingers twirled around the string from his waist apron. âsomething like that.â the blonde's eyes fell to the sunset. yours followed them. âa couple of guys in my historical art class were talking about going.â
âthe hippieâ?âÂ
keigo cut you off before you could finish your comment âmy point is,â he leaned closerâ most likely for dramatic effect, âtheyâre probably hiring.â
it was your turn to press your lips together now.Â
âbartending isnât that bad.â keigo coaxed. you almost laughed at how fast he was able to switch his opinion on this idea. but keigo kept his eyes on the sun, like he was thinking about his plans for the future too. a better future. âplus the tips make it so worth it.â he titled his head toward you, shooting you a sly grin. he nodded his head, âyeah?â, as he nudged your shoulder.Â
your cold façade cracked into a warm smile. keigo always found a way to cheer you up. it was stupidly ironic. âiâll apply when i get home.âÂ
âand you swear we arenât friends.â keigo scoffed and you showed no mercy when shoving his shoulder. he just laughed loudly. âmidnight is doing pretty nice though. the regulars are cute and who knows, maybe miller will consider giving us raises.â
a chortle escaped your throat. âyeah. like shit.â your lips didnât remain curled up for long. your eyes faltered to a determined degree, your mind sharp on your goal. you had always tried your best to fight for yourself, nothing about that would change. nothing would change. a high tension that you didnât even realize you had dropped from your shoulder like anchors. you were secure. you were safe.Â
keigo kicked a rock at the ground, âmy shift ends in thirty so i should head in.â he pointed back at the door. you nodded your head, giving him a small wave as he turned to go back into the bar.Â
the orange and yellow kissed hue from the sun tinted your face. you didnât think about how long it'll actually take you to pay off your tuition. you didnât think about the piles of homework you'd have to do when you got home. you didnât even think about how youâd last the last half of this twelve-hour shift.Â
you just closed your eyes and focused on the sunshineâs delicate mark on your skin.Â
just a block down the packed city was LOV, whose grand opening last saturday had a total of twenty-three arrivals.
âtold you this was a shit idea.â a gravelly voice opined as he flicked fresh ash from the window sill and let it fall onto the dirted path outside.   Â
a low voice snarled in response, bony fingers typing away on his computer.Â
âdonât know why the old manââ
âshut up.â tomura snapped.Â
touya just grinned, âwhats got your panties in a bunch, boss?â he shook his head in amusement, a stupid grin unreasonably placed on his lip. âyou had high hopes or something?â
âshut the fuck up.â tomura eyes didnât leave his screen, they only squinted as he muttered something to himself and his fingers swiped across the mouse pad of his laptop.Â
âgodâ are you like, virtually wired to the internet or something?â touya trudged over to tomuras set up, finding a comfortable spot on the back of his chair to rest his forearm on and inspect what tomura was so fixated on.Â
touya (surprisingly) was stunned.
âwhat the fuck is that?â
his laptop displayed a website page for a bar named moonlight. the layout was impressive alone; the backdrop flashed photos of a variety of very satisfied customers at the bar. an animation of a sparkling star shot across the top of the site, lighting up the bars boldly displayed name. and evenâ
âshit.â touya voice dropped to a whisper, mouth hanging dangerously close to tomuras ear. âlook at that. they even got an interactive menu.â he disclosed, treating it as a cherry on top of moonlight's enormous advantaged cake.Â
âhow the fuck are these bougie ass motherfuckers packed every. single. fucking night.â tomuras finger tapped rhythmically against his desk, seemingly mindless, but touya took notice.
touya pulled away, crossing his arms as he leaned up against tomuras desk. âwe could use some better advertising.â he shruggedâ acting as if he wouldnât take huge offense if his comment wasnât taken into consideration. luckily, tomura could recognize touya's snotty tone for what it really meant and couldnât be bothered to push it.Â
âyeah.â he sighed, elbows falling onto his desk as his hands found themselves tangled into his sea of unbrushed hair. âwhen you learn how to code, come back to me with that.â he taunted through gritted teeth.
touya rolled his eyes, even though he knew tomura couldnât see. âwhatever. we canât be in the slumps forever.â scarred hands reached for his phone as he pulled up the website on his own. his feet led him to the back door, hand reaching for his coat on the rack.Â
tomuras head peaked up at the sound of touya fleeting feet.Â
âand where the fuck are you going?â
âout.â touya dismissed, eyes still glued onto his phone screen as he typed in the directions from the website onto his map app.Â
tomura huffed out a heavy breath when the back door slammed shut. he leaned back in his chair, stretching his arms and legs far before settling back into hisâ what he swears is ânot-so-horribly crooked posture. âfucking hell.â he muttered.
eventually his finger fell back onto his keyboard, clacking sound blending into the background noise once more.Â
touya sneered on the other side of the door. his gait was confident as he followed direction of the rising moon.Â

I know you said you only might accept pregnancy requests depending on what it is so I wanted to try đ how about shigaraki and reader break up while sheâs unknowingly pregnant with his child and he bumps into said child years later and connects the dots that itâs his? If you donât like it feel free to ignore this request đ
I liked this nonnie.
I am terrified that by saying that Iâm going to be inundated with pregnancy HCâs, lol. But, this request I really leaned into. Plus, itâs more about a kid than a pregnancy.Â
So, thank you for asking and letting me slip out of my comfort zone. Itâs always good to do that every once in awhile and this ask was a great reminder of that.
Itâs a bit melancholic, but I think it fits with Tomura, at least, in my mind.
Now, this is not in canon. This is not like, pre-war arc, or post-war arc. If anything, itâs more of an AU. Iâd put Tomura in his late 20s to early 30s. Â
warnings: none really, just some sweet, sweet interactions and mild angstÂ
The shouting noise of children set his teeth on edge.
Toga had insisted that the bus stop by the school was the best place for the information exchange.
They wonât look for you there, sheâd assured him. Itâs like hiding in plain sight. Yeah, itâs patrolled, but itâs only an old security guard who does the rounds. Besides, heâs retired from the police force, she qualified, and was more like a lazy cat than an attentive scent hound. Â
Itâs the best place, really.
So, Shigaraki had made the long trek across Tokyo.
He kept to the shadows as he weaved his way through back alleys and streets. Although the dominance of the League had waned some over the years, he was still a wanted criminal, responsible for countless death and threats on hero society.
He was still the King of his slice of the underworld.
Besides, he reassured himself as he loitered by the bench under the bus stop, he could trust Toga.
She had improved in leaps and bounds as she came of age; deadlier, sleeker, more attuned to the ebbs and flows of the world around her. She wasnât that girl who chattered about blood anymore.
Oh, she still held a strange fascination with the fluid. But she had more control over those impulses that drove her. If she said it was the best place, well, who was he to argue? Toga had been with him from the beginning, a vital ally. Hell, at this point she was close to being a friend.
Shigaraki is still musing when the ball taps its way to his feet.
It clatters against the pavement; the rubber shuttling it along the loose rocks and leaves. Unthinkingly, Shigaraki lifts his shoe to balance against its unbound movement, stilling its lulling bounces.
Must be from that schoolyard, he thinks, his red eyes flashing up at the low chain-link fence that separates the school grounds from the busy street.
Thereâs no child dashing their way to retrieve it, so he lets his gaze slip from the teeming masses of giggling youngsters. Itâs a pretty blue. The ball looks new. Hardly a scuffed and battered thing.
He keeps it under his sole, toying with it, rolling it meditatively as he slips back into his thoughts.
âHey! Thatâs mine!â
Itâs a small voice that calls to him and he turns his head back to the fence, looking for the source.
Itâs a girl.
Sheâs leaning against the metal, her hands clutching into the links, cocking her head inquisitively at him.
Her nose wrinkles at his silence, and she shouts another demand.
âMister, thatâs my ball. Toss it back.â
âArenât you supposed to say please?â Shigaraki taunts, his lips lifting in a quick grin. Heâs not sure why heâs bothering to engage with this kid, but something about her plucky attitude resonates with him.
She leans away from the fence, that scowl deepening on her soft features.
âArenât grown ups not supposed to steal things?â
He laughs at her snark. He canât help it. Oh, this kidâs fun.
Carefully slipping the ball into his hands, he moves closer to the fence. He can see her a little better now.
Sheâs still got that deep frown on her face and her dark hair is gleaming in the afternoon sun, some strands catching the light, reflecting a deep, auburn, hue. Heâs just about to chuck the ball to her when he catches sight of her eyes.
Theyâre red.
Not that red eyes are unusual. There are plenty of people milling around Tokyo with them. But hers are different.
No, these eyes are like looking into a mirror for Shigaraki. They flint and glare with the same sheen as his own. Itâs a prefect reflection.
His feet suddenly feel heavy, leaden, and he canât lift his arms. Who is this child? Why does she-
âOk, ok, mister. Can I please have my ball back? Youâre still stealing it if you donât, so Iâm not apologizing for that. I might... if you give it back to me, cuzâ itâs my ball, not yours. And, stealing makes you a thief.â
Sheâs rolling those uncanny irises at his stiff form, and a huffing sigh escapes her small mouth.
âWhatâs your name?â Shigaraki asks, hands trembling over the rubber of the ball.
âNot supposed to tell that to strangers, mister.â
He smiles again, bemused. Well, he thinks begrudgingly, sheâs a clever little thing. Whoever she is.
A sharp bell echoes across the yard and she turns her head at the sound, her dark hair tumbling around her shoulders.
âHere,â Shigaraki relents, gently flipping the ball over the fence, bouncing it to her feet.
âThanks,â she murmurs, quickly snatching up her prize. Those red eyes of hers meet his own, and he can feel a low shiver echo up his spine. Whatâs up with this reaction? It almost feels visceral, like some sort of otherworldly pull on him.
âSorry I called you a thief,â she apologizes, quickly bowing her head, ducking those eerie eyes from view.
Heâs not sure what to say, so he continues to watch her. She doesnât seem perturbed by this, opting to giggle at him as her little head lifts.
âYouâre weird,â she assess, a smile finally spreading over her lips, her cheeks rounding and softening.Â
Tch, sheâs rude, but sheâs also cute, Shigaraki thinks, snorting at her frankness.
She turns, dashing away from him, her dark hair flowing around her back as she goes.
Shigaraki shakes his head, trying to dislodge those lingering questions that keep floating to the back of his mind.
Heâll never see her again, he reasons, wandering back to the bus stop. Trying to tamp down the urge to look for her again, to pinpoint her from the other giggling and shouting children on the playground.
But he did see her again.
He comes back to the stop a few weeks later.
Thereâs no information pickup this time. Thereâs no real reason for him to even be on this side of town.
He just canât get her out of his mind.
This little kid had shaken something within his psyche. He kept dreaming about her. Well, not her, really. No, there was someone else haunting his dreams.
He hasnât thought about you in years.
But now? Now, he canât get you out of his head. He even feels like he can feel you some nights, warm against his side. He sulks in the memories of the familiar touches that the two of you shared, the love that youâd pressed into him, so, so long ago.
He saw the girl in those moments. Resting in your arms as you looked up, your eyes bright against her dark head. The girl would laugh and run to him, those reflective red eyes shining with mirth.Â
It was fucking strange.
He both hated, and loved, the repetitive nature of these illusions. They made him feel safe and warm, but they also chilled him to his very bones. It was unsettling.
Unsure what else to do, heâd back come to the bus stop.
Itâs early afternoon. Close to the time heâd visited it before. He waits on the lonely bench, his hands pressed together and that strange tremble races through his veins.
This is stupid, he thinks, his eyes lowering from the sea of kids, all twisting and turning in a heap as they play. Itâs an impossibility, really. The chances of that girl losing her ball again is minuscule. Thereâs no way he can call to her either. Itâs a waste. He shouldnât even be here.
Heâs standing to leave, when that small voice reaches him.
âOh! Youâre back.â
His head whips around, his long white hair glowing against the sunlight.
There she is.
Sheâs gripping the fence again, and sheâs staring right at him.
Shigaraki smiles. Itâs a gentle lift and he can feel his heart tapping a rough tattoo against his ribs. He steps toward her, kneeling when he gets close, careful to not overstep his bounds.
Heâs not wanting to startle her.
No, heâs wanting to talk with her. Maybe sheâll drop some kinda clue why heâs so drawn to her. Or maybe sheâll morph into any other child again. Plain, uninteresting. Slipping from that odd ghost that sheâs become to his subconscious.Â
He hopes itâs the latter. But part of him also longs for it to be the former.
Sheâll hop to the fence around 3:15.
She looks for him now, used to the routine of his presence.
He told her to call him Tomura, and the name falling from her lips made his heart ache.
Tomura stopped by on Fridays. Careful to not stay too long, to not draw too much attention to himself.
At first, heâd sneak her little trinkets.Â
A little plastic toy of his, one that he had since he was a kid. Sheâd squealed with delight and clutched it to her. Heâd grinned at that, remembering how heâd once held onto the thick plastic himself.Â
Once, heâd just plucked a nearby flower as he walked to the school, presenting it to her outreached grasp. Heâd watched proudly as she tucked it behind her ear, the color glossy beside her hair.
Sheâs still a sassy little thing. But sheâs softened a little, too. Her voice losing that early, untrusting, edge.
He didnât ask her much. Sometimes they both just sat in silence as she sketched designs into the dirt. Sometimes he would listen to her chatter about her day. Her classmates, her teacher. Once, sheâd even pressed something over the fence to him.
It was a drawing.
Heâs not sure if it really was all that well done, or if itâs just his heavy bias toward her. But he loves the mix of color and lines. Heâd asked who the people were.
One was her friend, Kenji. One was her teacher. One was him.
Heâd pinned it to the wall in his room. Displaying it, flaunting the gift. He looked at it every morning, admiring her work.
Heâs late one day, and she scolds him, her small arms draping over the fence.
âI didnât think you were going to come,â she chatters, her red eyes lingering against his, the two colors casting back the same hue.
âWas running behind,â Tomura replies, leaning against the low concrete barrier, resting his back against the fence.
Her little hands reach for his hair, playing with the pearlescent tendrils, weaving some into knots and braids.Â
He doesnât mind.
âHey, Tomura,â she says, working a tiny hairband into her creation, her voice curious.
âHmm,â he hums, careful to not shift his head, not wanting to disrupt her hard work.
âYou didnât ask my name again. At least⊠not after that one day.â
âDo you want me to ask?â He queries, his pulse lifting.
Heâd wanted to ask her again, but he didnât want to startle her, to shatter these innocences that they shared.
âItâs Beryl,â she answers. She says it confidently, and he turns to face her.
She grins at him, wiggling one loose tooth playfully at his serious expression, trying to tug a laugh from him.
âBeryl?â he repeats, unable to keep that awed hush from his raspy tones. Itâs a pretty name. It suits her, really. But itâs strange. Itâs not Japanese.Â
You hadnât been Japanese.Â
âThatâs a good name,â he assures her. âBut, itâs not⊠you donât hear that name very often.â
âYeah,â Beryl concedes, her vermillion eyes roving over his face. âMy momâs not from here.â
His nostrils flare at that.
He hasnât asked her about her mother. Heâs unsure if itâs a general disinterest on his part, or trepidation. He fears itâs the latter.
Gulping, he tilts his head at her, feeling that soft braid sheâs plaited into his hair shifting.
âWhoâs your mother?â
âWho is she? Sheâs my mom, silly.â
âNo,â he pauses, ignoring that creeping tremor thatâs working its way to the top of his skull, his skin prickling and cooling. âI meanâŠwhatâs her name?â
âOh! Her name is-â
âBeryl! Beryl, itâs time to come inside.â A teacher is calling for her.Â
Tomura startles away, drifting to his feet and pacing quickly back to the bus stop. He canât help the snarl that etches its way across his lips. Heâd been so close. So fucking closeâŠ
He chances a glance back at the fence and catches sight of Beryl. Sheâs dashing across the playground, her dark hair waving in the sun.
Japan is about to slip into summer. School will come to a close, moving into a long break. He wonât see her again for almost a month.
His heart sinks at that realization and he grits his teeth. Slipping his hands into his dark trench coat, he steps across the street, away from the bus stop, away from the little girl thatâs feeling more and more like his own.

cw; sorta kinda angst? i mean itâll probably make you a bit sad, soft tomu with drunk reader, light cursing, very long interaction between tomura and keigo, some explaining that hopefully covers any plot holes or confusions, final level of game one before we move on to game two, another long ass written part with no texts/ tweets, wc; 2.9k
ironic iâm posting the last chapter of the first part on his birthday, happy birthday tomura! đ©”đ
âtake me home tomu?â the tears are warm against your cheeks as you wait for him to answer you. tomu is knelt down in front of where you sit, his eyes hold an emotion neither of you want to think about, itâd hurt more if you did.
âyeah y/n, iâll take you home.â he stands to his full height before bending down to help you. your feet stumble beneath you, and tomu has to steady you with his hands on your waist.
âcan you walk?â his hands flex on your hips, his body tensing as your palms meet his torso.
âhmm, no.â you fall forward into him, arms moving up around his neck while your face lands on his chest and he sighs, contemplating for half a second, before he moves and picks you up.
âtomu!â you squeal as he holds you close to him, one arm under your knees and the other around you back. your arms wrap tighter around him as you nestle closer to his warmth.
he looks down at you, eyes widening in surprise when he finds you already looking at him. your eyes are soft, and heâs shocked when your hand moves to slide along his jaw and cup his cheek.
âyouâre so pretty tomu.â your sentence is followed by a kiss on his jaw and his grip tightens around you.Â
he whispers a thanks as your head falls to rest on his shoulder and he carries you to his car.
âletâs get you home.â
the drive is silent, youâre laid out in the passenger seat, body positioned to face tomura, one of his hoodies covering you. youâre so still he would almost think you were sleeping if it werenât for the little mutters spilling from your lips.
âthank you tomu.â his gaze flicks to you for a second to find your eyes closed, a soft sigh leaves him, before he focuses back on the road.
itâs quiet again for nearly the rest of the drive, until he turns down your street.
âhave i told you how pretty i think you are, tomu?â he looks at you as he comes to a stoplight, only to find your eyes on him and he blushes.
âuh, yeah you mentioned it earlier.â he continues to look at you while you stare at him before the light turns green and he starts driving again.
âwell, itâs true so youâre welcome.â you smile and then giggle while letting your eyes flutter close. heâs pulling into your apartment complex a few minutes later, parking the car, he focuses on you again.
âokay y/n, weâre here. you gotta work with me, alright?â he waits for a response as he unbuckles the both of you, you donât move or say anything.
ây/n?â again no response, merely the rise and fall of your chest and shoulders as you breathe softly.
âflow- y/n?â he catches himself, heâs not sure if youâre actually asleep or how drunk you really are. thereâs a chance that you might remember it if he calls you by shigsâ name for you, then heâd really be fucked.
he doesnât know why he doesnât just tell you, thereâs nothing wrong with you knowing. in fact, he thinks he might love the idea of you knowing. his anxiety gets the better of him and he begins to think youâd prefer him as shigs over him as tomu, or vice versa, so he supposes that may be the reasoning behind not wanting you to know.
he thinks about coming up with his own nickname for you as tomu, but you havenât done much that would give him anything good, aside from spending the last few weeks working on the project in class and at the library. though there was the day the campus library had been closed and you suggested working in the park, that day painted you in a new light. he liked seeing you get distracted by the flowers and the sky, maybe he could call you âsunshineâ or âcloudâ, you certainly talked about both of those a lot.
he sighs, gently shaking your shoulder, he tries to rouse from your sleep. all he gets in return is a deep groan, and you rolling over before snuggling deeper into the seat. he lets out his own groan before deciding to just carry you, getting out of the car, he rounds the front to your side and pulls open the passenger door, before lifting your body into his arms once again. he lets out one final sigh and begins the trek to your apartment.
âcome on hawks please answer the fucking door.â tomura mutters beneath his breath, he has you held against his chest still, head on his shoulder, trying to balance your weight against his body long enough to knock on the door. eventually, he settles for just kicking the damn thing and praying to whatever god is out there that your brother is still awake despite it being 3:40am.
âitâs damn near four in the morning, who the fuck is- oh.â keigoâs voice comes to a halt as his gaze settles on tomura standing there with you in his arms. tomura nearly drops you as his body sags in relief.
âhey hawks.â and just like the first time he saw tomura with you, keigo forgot what was happening.
âtomura?â keigo whispered and tomura nodded.
âyeah, itâs me.â his grip on your body tightened as he straightened up again, looking down towards you as keigo followed his gaze.
âoh shit, yeah come in.â keigo moved out of the way, holding the door open, and allowing tomura to carry you in.
tomura, having been in your apartment a few times already, carried you down the hall to your room, where he waited by the door for keigo to open it. once opened, tomura carried you to your bed, where keigo moved the covers for him to lay you down.
âwhy was she with you?â keigo asks as he covers you with the blankets, he grabs a tissue from the nightstand and cleans your face with it, wiping away the leftover makeup and dried tears.
âitâs a long story.â tomu murmured softly as he leaned against your dresser. keigo merely sends him a questioning look and tomu sighs.
âshe called me, or rather she called shigs.â he whispers in case you decide to wake up at the wrong time and catch his confession.
âwait, you. youâre shigs?â keigo whispers in disbelief and tomura groans lightly, pushing himself off your dresser, he walks to your door and nods his head towards the living room.
âiâll explain it, but away from her.â tomu says, walking out of the room with keigo following him.
âso neither of you knew you shared a class together, nor that you played games with each other?â keigoâs voice was full of confusion, none of this made any sense to him.
âbasically. neither of us recognized the other's voice, which makes sense because i use different tones in different situations and a modulator when streaming. and weâve never seen each otherâs face either, i guess it just kind of happened this way.â tomura shrugs and leans back against the couch, head tilting so his gaze lands on the ceiling.
âso howâd you find out?â keigoâs gaze is firmly locked on where tomura sits, heâs slowly starting to understand the confusion, but now heâs questioning why tomura knows but you donât, and why tomura doesnât want to tell you.
âdabi.â is all tomu says as he sits back up to look at keigo, he catches the way he flinches, body tensing momentarily before relaxing.
âshit my bad.â tomura says and keigo shakes his head.
âitâs whatever, heâs your friend.â keigo mumbles, tomura frowns.
âi was your friend too.â tomura says confidently before freezing at keigoâs glare.
âyeah and you left with him. all of you except rumi. my sister tried to kill herself, my mom died, my boyfriend broke my heart, and i lost all my friends in the span of a few months. i needed you guys and you left. so fucking excuse me if iâm a bit cautious with you being around my sister.â keigo practically growls out and tomuraâs entire body shivers at the intensity in his voice.
âiâm sorry.â tomuraâs voice easily shifts into the quiet tone he uses when uncomfortable.
âyeah, whatever. so dabi told you about her then?â keigo questions.
âmore or less, we had a smoke sesh after he picked up shoto. we were talking on the roof and he mentioned seeing you and finding out that y/nâs the sister you never introduced him to. and he said how she connected the dots that heâs my, or actually shigs, as she would know me, roommate. then he told me he got her twitter so he showed it to me, and thatâs when i saw her face and told him that sheâs also my project partner.â tomura explained while keigo nodded.
âokay, itâs slowly making sense. but she doesnât know youâre you?â keigoâs back to being confused.
âno, she has no idea that iâm both her gaming buddy and project partner.â tomura agrees.
âthen how did she end up with you as tomu if she called you as shigs. holy fuck this is hurting my brain.â keigo groans, tomura chuckles lightly.
âafter the smoke sesh, both dabi and i went for a drive, separately. i subconsciously wound up parked across the street from the club, dabi also told me about that, and i was just sitting there when i saw her exit the building and lean against the wall.â tomu sighed deeply again as he began explaining what happened.
âwhere were her friends?â keigo asked, confused, rumi had never called him to pick them up so he assumed they just got an uber back to her and fuyumiâs place.
âspinner picked up toga and ochako, iâm pretty sure he brought them back here. i donât know how kenzie got home, i assume dabi picked her up. who else was she with?â tomura looked keigo who sighed.
âi donât think dabi picked up kenzie, he was at our- the abandoned park, i saw him. he tried talking to me but i left. rumi shouldâve also been with her.â keigo looked at the ground, elbows on his knees as his head rested in his hands.
âoh.â tomura is quiet for a second, âi thought i saw fuyumiâs car there. i forgot that dabi said she was dating rumi, he doesnât bring it up much. but if theyâre living together that would explain why they could only have his mom stay with them.â he finished.
âwait, what happened with his mom? i was wondering why he had shoto with him?â keigo said.
âenji.â thatâs all tomura needed to say in order for keigo to understand.
âoh. so rumi probably called fuyumi to pick her and y/n up, but lost sight of her when she went outside.â keigo reasons.
âprobably. anyway, i watched, not like that donât give me that fuck ass look bird brain.â tomura rolls his eyes, keigo snickers.
âshe pulled her phone out and i thought she was going to call you, but she called shigs instead. i talked to her while sitting in my car. she said some stuff i donât feel comfortable sharing with you.â he takes a deep breath when keigo interrupts him.
âshe confessed, didnât she?â keigo sighs at the way tomuraâs body tenses. âfigures that she would while drunk, thatâs when sheâs the most honest.â
âyeah.â tomura sighs.Â
âanyway, she says something about calling you to come get her, but i was already making my way towards her. so i ended the call as shigs, and then knelt in front of her as tomura and she asked me to take her home, now here we are.â he shrugs again at the end of his explanation, both of them sighing as silence fills the space around them.
âthat explains why sheâs with you, but why donât you want her to know?â keigoâs question makes tomura pause, thatâs the question tomura has been asking himself all night.
why doesnât he want her to know?
âi donât know.â and he truly didnât, there wasnât a single good reason he could think of, except his anxiety fucking with him.
âiâm just scared, i guess.â tomura sighs again, it seems like all he can do is fucking sigh.
âof what?â keigo genuinely wants to know, they might not be friends anymore, but at one point he cared for tomura. and he cares about his sister more than enough to try and help her be happy.
âiâm scared of her preferring one version of me over the other, i guess.â
âdo you honestly think sheâs like that? does she treat you any differently in your two personas?â again keigoâs question makes tomura pause.
âno, she treats me pretty much the same. except, her tone of voice is different. with shigs, sheâs relaxed, comfortable. i can hear the love in her voice, she acts like i make her feel at home. with tomu, sheâs still realxed and comfortable. she sounds like i make her feel safe, but thereâs also something in her tone that makes me think sheâs developing feelings for me as tomu.â thereâs a look on keigoâs face that tomura canât tell if he likes or not.
âwhat, whatâs with the look hawks?â tomura sits up straighter now.
âshe told me about two weeks ago that sheâs developing feelings for you as tomu and itâs really messing with her head because of her feelings for you as shigs.â keigo explains.
âwhat?â itâs tomuraâs turn to be confused, you guys have been working on the project for about a month now. thereâs another month before itâs due, and youâre almost finished with it. another week of working together and itâd be done.
âyeah man, she likes both shigs and tomura. you should just tell her.â keigo smirks.
âyeah, iâll tell her when you tell touya.â tomura snarks back sarcastically.
âeven if i wanted to, i canât. heâs with kenzie now, remember?â keigo sneers and tomrua rolls his eyes.
âyou act as if neither of you are polyamorous. donât you remember that one time in high school you both got so drunk and confessed that if i was into dudes at all weâd be a throuple.â tomura smirks as keigo huffs.
âshut the fuck up, iâm supposed to be pissed at you. and besides, youâre fucking pansexual so suck my dick.â keigoâs eyes roll so hard tomura is worried theyâd get stuck.
ânah, iâm good. thanks though.â tomura laughs. this was nice, hanging out with his old friend.
âthat still doesnât explain why you wonât tell her.â keigo redirects the conversation back to before.
âiâm just not ready to. my grandma just died a week ago and her funeral was today, i just donât think iâm ready for y/n to know the truth.â tomura sighs.
âshit, nana passed? iâm sorry to hear that tenko.â keigoâs voice is gentle, he knows that name could set him off but he wants him to know he truly means it when he gives his condolences.
âthanks keigo.â tomura means it sincerely when he speaks keigoâs real name for the first time that night.
âlisten, i wonât say anything to my sister until youâre ready, but just donât go breaking her heart, okay?â keigo sighs and then stands as he looks at the clock on the wall, 4:50am.
âyeah about that, i think i already did.â tomura mumbles, keigo simply sighs deeply as if he already knew.
âone last question, who all knows besides me that youâre shigs and tomrua?â keigo looks at tomura who still sits on the couch.
âdabi knows, ochako and himiko know, kenz knows iâm shigs but not that iâm tomu, and iâm assuming that dabi will probably tell shoto in case he wants y/n to baby sit again. oh, and she doesnât know that we were friends in high school.â tomura explains and keigo hums.
âokay well, you can crash here for a couple hours if you want, i gotta be at work at seven so iâm just going to start getting ready now.â keigo stretches as he speaks.
âthanks, but i should probably get home. if you saw dabi at your place then heâs probably going through it and somebody should be there if shoto wakes up.â tomura stands, stretching his arms with a sigh.
âyeah, true. i hope heâs adjusting to living with you guys. if you need anything, you can always ask. i have a feeling weâre going to be in each otherâs lives a lot more again.â keigo leads the way to the door.
âyeah, thanks again keigs.â tomura follows behind him.
âanytime tenko, anytime.â keigo opens the door for him to walk out.
âsheâs going to be alone when you go to work right?â tomura suddenly asks, keigo nods.
âyou mind if i come back over with shoto later? as tomu of course.â he meets keigoâs eyes.
ânah, i think sheâd like that. she already loves shoto and heâd help keep her busy.â keigo smiles.
âalright, cool. iâll be back in a few hours then.â tomura smiles as he steps into the hall.
âsounds good man.â keigo nods and tomura waves as he walks away to the elevator.
âfuck little sis, what have you gotten us into?â keigo sighs as he closes the door.

tenko shimura x reader
âmist stop w all of the domestic bliss drabbles!â NO!!!!!! n e ways hereâs post rehabilitation tenko :)
cwâs!!: gn! reader, bathing together (nonsexual), not canon compliant!! (heâs in rehab and staying w UR family :]), he is so emotionally constipated i luv him, andddd i think thatâs it!! ^.^
wc: 673
âare you sure this is okay?â tenkoâs voice is soft from his spot behind you. thereâs a quiet sound of the lukewarm â not either of your preferences for temperature, but it was better for his skin â water sloshing when he shifted to hook his chin over your shoulder, his rough cheek lightly brushing against yours.
you know why heâs asking that, but you act oblivious. âitâs late, iâm sure my family doesnât mind us hogging the bathroom while theyâre asleep.â his arms unconsciously tighten around your middle.
âno, like-â he lets out a small huff, cutting off his own words. it sounds like heâs about to drop the topic altogether just because he canât find the right words, but he continues. youâre happy heâs learning to grow out of that habit.
âis this okayâŠ? staying here, i mean.â
âtenko, my family really likes you.â he falters.
âi donât understand how they couldâŠâ
âbecause i love you, so they love you too.â
his lips pull into a small frown at that.
âthey canât just ignore what iâve done, theyâd be stupid to do that.â thereâs a lilt of irritation behind his words but you know better than to take it personally.
âtheyâre not ignoring what youâve done. they trust you, tenko.â thereâs always this annoying adoration in your voice whenever you say his new (old?) name that he has to stop himself from snapping back at. itâs not that he disliked it â not at all â but it just⊠didnât make sense to him. it made him feel oblivious, like you were keeping a secret from him despite how vocal your praise always was.
you sigh softly when his brows furrow, your hand coming up to gently smooth out the familiar little wrinkle between them.
âthey trust us.â you reiterate.
âwell they shouldnât.â
you raise a brow at that.
âwhy not?â
his lips pull into an unconscious little pout (a habit you didnât dare bring to his attention even after all of these years. not out of fear of him getting angry â out of fear of him forcing the small vulnerability away).
âbecause obviously iâm still evil and you have some sort of weird stockholm syndrome that you refuse to acknowledge.â you have to bite back a laugh at his sudden petulance.
âno, baby, i donât have any sort of stockholm syndrome.â
âsee.â he grumbles, clearly convinced by his own astute observations.
you canât fight the small snicker that leaves you at that, but you decide to humor him for a moment.
âalright, so i have stockholm syndrome. how exactly are you still evil?â
he thinks on your question for a second.
âiâm mean and antisocial and i dusted your brothers game controller the other dayâŠâ your smile grows.
âand i still hate heroes and i-â he continues for a moment only to stop when he sees the widening smile on your face. god, youâre so irritatingâŠ
âwhat?â he grits out, unable to hide the small flush on his face. heâd blame it on the steam from the lukewarm bath later.
âno, nothing.â his eyes narrow in suspicion.
âreally, tenko, itâs nothing.â a small laugh laces your words when he continues glaring at you. he doesnât say anything, expecting you to fold and tell him whatâs on your mind with just a look (you would, of course. neither of you were known for having strong resolves against each other).
âitâs justâŠâ you pause, contemplating how to word your thoughts.
â⊠youâre human, tenko. last time i checked thereâs nothing evil about that.â
he pauses, considering your words for a long moment. heâs human. he has preferences and flaws and makes mistakes because heâs human â not because heâs evil. itâs common sense but it still takes him aback for some reason. how irritating.
he brings up his hand from under the water, pressing his wet palm to your cheek to push your face away from his flushed one.
âthatâs a stupid thing to say.â is the only thing he says in response. you smile.
âi know.â
