Shigaraki x Reader (Together)

Shigaraki could hear your cries all the way down the hall, worry had struck him as he snuck into your apartment. His plans were to play some video games with you since he was feeling so alone tonight, and it appeared that you were feeling the same.

Shigaraki didn't know exactly what to do when he entered your room to find you on the floor weeping and the truth was, Shigaraki hated seeing you upset but what annoyed him was that he had no clue what to do. He's never dealt with this before... with human emotions...

Hanging his head low, and placing Father on the nightstand, Shigaraki strode over to you. With a gentle tap on the back of your head, he let you know that he was there.

Yet, you continued to weep. Shigaraki felt defeated... Here, the one person who's welcomed him in with open arms, and the one person he wishes to hold was full of sorrow and lonesomeness... Just as he was... Yet, he knew if he were to touch you, he would only cause more pain...

'Bad guys don't save the princesses... They only hurt them...'

Lifting his hoodie back over his head, Shigaraki began to exit your room heading for the balcony.

Your head poked up just in time to see Shigaraki leaving your room, "Tomura! Wait!"

Rushing after him, you ran out to the rest of your apartment but he was no longer there.

'Maybe some fresh air will do me some good...' You thought as you wiped your face while opening your balcony doors, and to your surprise you found it was snowing out. Stepping foot onto the balcony, you saw how the lights lit up the streets, and with the snow gracefully falling it gave the city a bokeh look.

It was cold though and your body shivered the moment the wind nipped at your skin. Turning to head back into your apartment you witnessed Shigaraki sitting on the ground with his back pressed against the wall of the building...

"Tomura!" You went to reach for him as he sat up, but he smacked your hand away.

"I'm leaving, ____."

"I thought you left already though!" You sobbed, your tears were lining the brim of your eyes... You didn't want him to go, you felt so lonely, "Please..."

With his back turned towards you, you clutched the back of his hoodie pressing your head into it...

He could feel your hand shake, your head how it moved as your cried... Shigaraki kept his head hung low... Listening to you vent about how you've felt the past few weeks... He should've noticed...

"I wanted to stay in your room..." His voice shook, "I wanted to help you..."

He didn't know what he was doing, but it felt like the right thing to do... Twirling around, he embraced you, his hands in fists so he did no harm to you. So this is what if felt like to do the right thing...

Tears struck the ground, both yours and his... For the very first time, you were seeing the human side of Shigaraki... He was lonely like you, and he came to you seeking comfort...

It was very clear, you both needed one another. Now more than ever.

Unceasing, the snow continued to fall around you both.

Shigaraki moved one of his hands to the back of your head, one finger lifted up as he stroked your hair until he could feel your heavy breathing. You had fallen asleep in his arms standing upright. Leaning against the wall, Shigaraki slid down once more, but this time with you in his arms. With the snow never ceasing, he held on to you tightly, keeping you warm as you slept in his arms outside.
