Insomnia [Shota Aizawa x Reader] (Old Version)

Chapter 1

IMPORTANT A/N: (For those who don't read descriptions)

This story sucks. Nothing makes sense, there is little to no character development, if there is it makes no sense, the reader's dumb, it's frustrating, you should not read this. This was written almost two years ago at the time of writing this A/N and my writing style has changed a lot.

I'm working on a rewrite that hopefully will be better but for now. Please don't read this unless you're looking for shit stories.

Shameless self-promo- Check out my other story "Inspiration" that should be better and I'm actually proud of.

I pace around a small room, a cold bottle of water in one hand and a book in another. In one of my pockets was my phone, earphones plugged in and the earbuds in my ears. Bright light came from a small lamp on a desk next to a bed. The bed was neat, hardly touched.

It's been exactly 14 days, 12 hours, and 56 minutes since I last slept. And I only slept for about 10 minutes before waking up again.

I had bags under my eyes from this lack of sleep, but my body was used to this. But I couldn't keep this up for another hour. I could only go for so long without sleep.

I took another gulp of water from the bottle. For some reason, cold water helps keep me up better than coffee. The book, [F/B] by [Author] was in my hands, and I had finished it. The song I'll Sleep When I'm Dead by Set It Off was blasting in my ears.

Despite these attempts to keep awake, I felt sleepier by the second. My body wasn't listening to my mind's plea to be conscious, getting slower and slower as I paced around the room.

In about a minute, my knees buckled, and I fell onto the bed. My eyes drooped, and my body gave in to sleep.

"[Y/N]!"

I immediately woke, sweating. My voice was hurting from screaming. The nightmares were unavoidable. They happened as soon as I fell asleep. I looked to who had called my name: a light-blue-haired man dressed in black. His cracked lips was frowned as he shook me more.

"Tomura," I say, drowsily. "How long?"

"About 12 minutes," the man, Tomura Shigaraki, said. "Since I heard you flop down. 2 minutes to get you awake. Are you sure you don't need anyone to stop you from falling asleep? Waking you is hard enough."

I nodded. "I need the sleep, even if I don't want it." I stood, stretching and the rubbing my eyes. "12 minutes is better than 10. I'm refreshed now."

"Alright, get ready for tomorrow then. We're launching an attack at the USJ. All Might will surely be there."

I frowned. "I thought I wasn't going to fight?"

"You aren't, you're going to observe the fight. In case something goes wrong and we have to retreat, which I hope will not happen, you're going to tell us what you notice."

"And if I get caught?"

"I'm sure you can get out with your quirk." He chuckled, then stood to walk to the door. Before leaving, he added, "Without any information on our abilities, they'll sure to be unprepared for yours!"

"Depends on how the capture me..." I mutter after he closed the door. I wouldn't be much use anyway. But with a refreshed mind and body after a 10-minute nap, I was determined to be of some use.

With the nightmares in the back of my mind, I reviewed the things I'd need to know for tomorrow's invasion.

A/N: Yes, this is an xreader. But I'm making up your backstory (future chapters ;p). I was going to for for Shota X OC, but... nahhhhhh. Don't like it don't read it.

Also- the age stuff is a bit out of place, so just imagine Aizawa younger or something. Or Tomura older, because his age is unknown.

And lastly- This is a world where there's invisible people and human portals and explosion hands and frog people and God knows what else, so don't go saying "But that doesn't make since because...." 😂

Future- I did not expect this story to go on this long but hope you like it!
