Siren Song (All Might x Reader)

Chapter 15: Back to the Prison

When you woke up the next morning you could feel the hot summer sun heating your skin. You could feel the beginning of a sunburn as you propped yourself up on one elbow. The sun was blinding as you opened your eyes, doing your best to adjust to the light. You could see that the couch had deflated overnight, but for some reason you weren't lying on the uncomfortable concrete of the roof. Just as you were about to investigate this fact, you felt a hand on your back. You looked down to see Toshi underneath you, smiling groggily as he wiped the sleep from his eyes.

"Mornin'"

"Good morning!" You squeaked, both startled and embarrassed by the position you were in.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked, sitting up a little, just barely moving you. From the way it looked, you must've laid on top of him all night. The thought made your cheeks burn bright red.

"Uh.. Yeah! Sorry for... Um..." You looked down at your two bodies pressed together. He didn't seem to mind.

"It's alright! We must've fallen asleep. This couch must have a hole in it somewhere."

"Probably..." You continued blushing, feeling the shame and embarrassment heat your face.

"Hey," He caught your attention. "I know what you're thinking. It's fine, I don't mind!" He smiled genuinely, tentatively rubbing your back a little. You relaxed slightly, smiling and shaking your head. If anything, he was just making your embarrassment worse by pointing it out.

"Well... Thank you for serving as my mattress last night, Mr. Symbol of Peace."

"Of course, ma'am" He put on his hero voice.

You got off of him and sat up, stretching your joints. Toshi sat up as well, grabbing his phone and looking at the time.

"Well, everyone will be here for training in an hour, then afterwards we're taking you to the prison."

"Oh shoot, I forgot we were going today. The days are starting to blend together."

"You've been a busy woman," He said, stretching his own muscles. You could hear his joints pop and crunch as he shook himself out.

"Will you be coming with me today?" You asked, your voice hopeful.

"I will! I told you I was going to come with you eventually. I won't be patrolling until later this afternoon."

You felt a flutter of excitement in your chest. Your visits to the prison weren't exactly the kind of fun thing you wanted to do with Toshinori, but the thought of him watching you do that was exciting. Maybe he'd be impressed when he watched you in action.

"Who all is coming along today, then?" You asked, standing up from the ground and helping him gather up the stuff he's set out the night before.

"Everyone. Gran Torino, saffron, sir, tsukauchi. The whole group".

"That's a lot of pressure..." you said, suddenly nervous at the thought of such a large audience. "Wait, why is saffron coming? The hero work stuff isn't usually her thing".

"She wanted to. She likes you, I think. You two have a lot in common. She doesn't have much time to make friends outside of me and her boom writing".

"Since when does she write books?"

"She's a world famous author!" He looked at you flabbergasted. "Have you never heard of her before this?"

"Huh... I guess not. I didn't realize. What's her book about?" The two of you talked as you helped him fold up the large inflatable couch.
