Why do people refer to the fusion at the UA battle and war arc as Tomura?
"I can't believe Tomura killed Bakugou" but he didn't though. That was AFO. AFO possessed his body and then stabbed and killed Bakugou
Like maybe you could say it was both of them at UA, they were a mix of each other at the time, but Tomura was not the only one wrecking shit from in there
Even Izuku gets it right, telling AFO to shut up in the war arc, addressing AFO in the UA battle, yet the fandom seems to just ignore this
Omg yes !đ
Gives me Shigaraki vibes
Guess who fall for another that can kill ypu with just a touch ? Not me haha...ha....
I LOVED your yandere scp 49 headcannons, and I was wondering if you could do a oneshot (or headcannons, whatever you prefer) of him x d-class reader ( fem or gn pronouns)during a security breach? If not, thatâs ok, makes just to enjoy your day and remember that your beautiful just the way you are =]
Sure! I had so much writer's block on this, I hope this was fine :)

Alarms blared everywhere in Site 19. Chaos ensued along with orders being barked at everyone. An SCP was on the loose and you didn't want to stick around too long.
You wanted to leave, this being a chance to change your fate. The bright orange jumpsuit you wore made it obvious of what you were meant to be.
Disposable.
Yet with this SCP on the loose you felt you could change that. You didn't have to be a guinea pig anymore. Perhaps you didn't have to die in vain.
You'd rather die fighting than letting yourself be some pawn in these experiments.
Softly and quietly you paced about the facility. Screams echoed through corridors, you needed to act fast. Stay here any longer and you'd be as good as dead.
What goes on in this facility was enough to break the mind of anyone.
Was that a more preferable fate?
You thought back on the tests you were subjected to here while you made your way through the already bloody building.
------
"You are meant to interview me again?"
You're hesitant in front of the plague doctor SCP. Hard to see eyes studied you carefully before jotting down notes.
"Yes... I am meant to ask you questions before being returned to my... cell."
You're ridiculously on edge on front of 049, what you were told the SCP was called.
Its touch could kill so you needed to be careful.
"...I see. You look well, no sense of disease as of currently. Just like usual."
You look down to the jade ring on your hand. That ring was the only thing keeping you alive and well. It seems your higher-ups didn't want you dead quite yet.
"Yeah, thanks for noticing. Now, let's get this over with. I'm sure you also want this done quick?"
The SCP looks you up and down before humming in thought.
"I can see where you're coming from. Although you are someone I enjoy talking to."
You don't think too much on it before taking interview notes after asking questions. The SCP, in return, taking notes of its own.
SCP-049, the plague doctor, was the SCP you were assigned with for interviews. Luckily not being a D-Class they wished to sacrifice yet.
Every meeting you were either given SCP-714, or a special injection to prevent 049 from harming you. You wondered if they didn't kill you yet because the Euclid SCP liked you.
For now you took it as a much better fate than death but you felt like you were walking on eggshells. What if you said something wrong and pissed 049 off?
Then you'd definitely be left for dead.
"Permission to ask you something, (Y/N)?"
You're caught off guard by the sudden question fired back at you. Especially being addressed by your name instead of the number you told it to address you as.
"I guess...?"
"... How's it feel to be caged here?"
You pause, unsure how to answer.
"I'm not dumb. I know what those orange jumpsuits mean. Don't you ever wish to leave?"
"I wish I could ask you the same. How do you feel about being locked up?"
"I came here of my own free will. You, I can tell, have not."
"Well...I-"
There's a crackling from the overhead speaker. 049 watches when you jump in fear and look at it. Utterly helpless, forced to listen to the orders you're given.
"D-Class, the interview will now be terminated. Do not talk about off-topic questions."
Guards soon enter the room and grab you harshly. You sigh before being escorted out. 049 narrows its eyes but never makes any attempt to be hostile.
At least, for now
------
SCP-049 wasn't too bad to work with. Which was ironic to say because the speakers were blaring that 049 had breached containment.
Aggressive zombie like corpses wandered the halls, varying in appearance. Some were guards, some even were other D-Class. Others were unlucky scientists.
You wondered what 049's end goal was. But, for now, you had one goal. Making yourself immune to the 'cure' 049 would eventually throw your way.
Unable to have access to the syringes they sometimes gave you, SCP-714 was your best bet. Even if the ring made you sluggish and tired.
"Why must you all resist... I am simply curing you of your illness."
You quietly peak around a corner, keycard in hand. That voice was unmistakably SCP-049. It seemed he had found another victim, rather focused on a screaming scientist.
While looking for the right door to the SCP you were looking for, you wondered if 049 would spare you. You two always talked for interviews. 049 even seemed to like you.
Then again, you were always protected of disease from outside help.
You never realized just how much danger you were truly in without that ring until a zombie spotted you, either
"What are you... Ah? (Y/N). It's been awhile. I will admit I missed you since our last visit."
You stare doe-eyed at the SCP. A small laugh coming from it while it scrawled in a notebook.
"Don't bother running off. You and I both know how fast I am. I really don't want to rush this too much.
049 walks closer to you slowly, observing you.
"049-"
"(Y/N), are you feeling okay? Those guard have such an... infectious touch."
You're shaking, breathing labored. You had no protection against this creature's touch.
"In... all honesty I'm nervous-"
"You're scared of my treatment, aren't you? I will be gentle when curing you. I need to get rid of their mark."
049 caught on fast.
"You could put it like that.... Please, 049, just let me go. We're close, aren't we?"
"Yes. But for that same reason I don't want you to leave just yet."
You back up, keeping out of reach of the SCP's hands.
"What do you want?"
"Would saying 'you' be adequate?"
"Don't get smart with me.... Why me?"
"Well, you're the healthiest of the others in this facility. It would be a shame to lose you to, say, a gunshot. That or another unclean SCP, right? I need to keep you pure."
You narrow your eyes.
"And?"
"Perhaps you're more dense than I thought...."
You're cornered, the SCP glaring you down.
"I only wish to keep you here with me, free from all disease. I will be your cure. Now, submit yourself to me, (Y/N)."
You could barely react when the hand of the creature clasps itself on your shoulder.
"You are one of my best patients. I promise I'll keep you with me in good health. All because I think I found myself adoring you."
With that, you found yourself giving your last breath.
Cured, within the eyes of SCP-049.
He talks a lotta shit for a guy within KISSING distance đ
Reblogs greatly appreciated!
"can i help you with something?" you ask sun in muffled amusement one day, eyes glued to the tablet in your hands. the last kid at the daycare had finally been picked up, leaving you to do your end-of-day inventory check in preparation for tomorrow.
"hm?" sun feigns ignorance, lanky body casting your own in his shadow as he hovers over you at your side. "with what?" a tone of innocence lines his voice, but you know he is anything but.
you look up to give him a deadpanned stare, metallic fingers pinching gently at your cheek and pulling slightly in a way that makes your mouth stretch. "oh, i don't know," you start in a lighthearted manner, "do you need your fingers oiled again?"
sun tugs at your cheek a bit harder and you swat at his arm, but he doesn't relent. "mmmmnope! joints are in tip-top shape!"
"well can you stop pinching my cheek?" you roll your eyes and are forced to lower your tablet when his other hand comes up to pinch and pull at your other cheek, too. it makes him crowd further into your space, his lithe form moving to cover your front as his head bends over your significantly smaller body.
sun only hums again and you're forced to adhere to his whims for the time being. you know you won't be able to pry him away, robot strength be damned. "i can't help it! you're so... squishy."
"well, yes." you snort to yourself and squint your eyes closed as he pulls at your skin as though it's made of playdough. spoiler alert, it's not. "human being, remember? not durable robot?" you emphasize the word in an attempt to get him to stop, but he ignores it. you huff, and when you feel your cheeks start to ache from his ministrations, you complain. "sun, c'mon, you're acting like my grandma at holidays. stop it."
sun lets out a little click that makes you peek up at him through your eyelashes. his head has tilted to the right, and a twitch of his smile is all the warning you get before he forces himself further into your personal space.
"ooh look how much you've grown!" sun coos down at you in an impression of someone elderly, thumbs rubbing into your cheeks. it makes you huff, but you resign yourself to his teasing. hopefully he just needs to get it out of his system. "my baby is so big now! adorable! gorgeous! they grow up so fast!" he releases one of your cheeks so he can pretend to wipe a tear from one of his white eyes. you internally celebrate at the relief and quickly lift your hand not holding your tablet to cover your aching cheek. his head tilts to the left at the loss, but he's still got his fingers pinching at the other side of your face. you're not sure how much of this you can take.
"sun, buddy, you're killing me over here," you manage to get out, ears tinged red at all his attention. his grin seems to widen.
"i remember when you were just a wee thing!" sun continues in a voice that's a pretty spot on imitation of someone in their later years. "dancing around, pretending to marry that little toy you had. tell me sweetie, do you have any special person in your life, hm? any lover? am i gonna have any grandbabies running around soon?"
a flush crawls up your neck at his words and you halfheartedly glower up at him. honestly, what the hell? where is this even coming from? sun only finds delight in your glare, however, if the way his rays spin around is any indication.
"dude," is all you manage to say. it makes his eyes upturn into crescents. "knock it offâ ow! hey, that hurts!" he'd given your cheek a particularly rough tug and it makes something drop in the pit of your stomach. you watch with wide eyes as he lowers himself until his face is mere inches from yours, dark with the shadows from the fluorescent lighting above.
"well?" sun whispers to you, all the mirth and delight gone from his voice as though they had never been there in the first place. you swallow heavily and suddenly feel very, very uneasy. his smile stretches farther along his face, unnatural and thin. "do you?"

OK I SAW @naffeclipseâs CRYPTED HUNTER AU CONCEPT AND I JUST LOVED THE SCENE THEY DESCRIBED SO MUCH I JUST HAD TO DRAW IT-
HEREâS THE LINK TO THE POST TALKING ABOUT THE CONCEPT
ALSO I AM SCREAMING CAUSE NAFF CONFIRMED THAT THEYâRE GONNA BE WRITING A FIC FOR IT IN OCTOBER I AM GOING FERAL
TW: Horror (<- putting this here just in case)
synopsis: What a crappy Friday night! Youâre the only driver for your restaurant and you have to deliver to this Tomura S. guy. The worst part? He never tips. wc: 2.7k content: tomura shigaraki x female reader, quirkless au, oral (f! receiving), overstim, degredation, vaginal fingering, mdni cross posted to ao3
You hated this guy.Â
He ordered every week without fail, like clockwork.Â
âDo I have to make this delivery?â You ask your manager, wishing the ticket in your hand would burst into flames.Â
It did not.Â
The black ink only stared back at you as you stewed in your own misery:Â
Tomura S.Â
âYouâre the only driver we have!â Your manager calls back to you, tossing some rice around in a wok before dropping it into a takeout container. âBut after this, youâre good to go.â he placed the next order into the wok and the hiss of the food only added to the bustle of the restaurant.
You sigh, accepting your fate and crumple the receipt in your hand. It was the last delivery of the night so you find solace in at least being able to leave once you were done.
This guy was a known regular, and better known for not leaving a tip. Ever. It didnât matter how big the order was and it didnât matter what the weather had been outside â Tomura S. would not tip. And unfortunately for you it seemed he was more likely to order on your shift so you had to be the one to deliver. What awful luck.
Your manager waves you off after he finishes packing Tomuraâs order and you step outside to your bike. It was about a fifteen minute bike ride, and the sweet promise of going home was all the motivation you needed to get it over and done. You put the order in the front basket of your bike and were off, hitting more than a few bumps in the road on your way.
Once you reach the apartment complex, you set your bike aside and head up to his door.
Youâve been here many times before, but that doesnt stop the nerves.Â
Tomura was an⌠interesting fellow. Never a smile on his face and rarely a thank you.Â
You steel yourself at the door of his apartment, taking a breath before raising your fist to knock. Maybe today would be different, you ponder, shifting your weight to cool your nerves. Maybe he would tip generously and send you on your way.
Everything could all be a big misunderstanding and you start to feel yourself get a little hopeful. He could be a nice guy under that rocky demeanor â maybe youâve misjudged him.
The door opens with a little too much force and a vermillion glare meets your eyes.Â
You feel yourself falter under his gaze. âUm, Tomura?" You put on the best smile you could and extend your arm, the bag of takeout presented to him. "Hereâs your order.â
He looks down at the bag and then back up to you â carmine eyes giving away ill hidden boredom before ripping it from your hand and turning on his heels. The slam of his door making you jolt as you strained to hear his muttered thanks. So quiet youâre sure you may have imagined it.Â
It would be generous to say you were shocked, but tonight had not been a kind night to you. A few too many potholes on your way here and a few too little tips given out has your lips pursed and fists clenching in anger. You had just about had it with this man.Â
What was his deal? You come all this way, make sure his food is hot â hell, you even smile and that's still not enough. Well, you were done playing nice and found your fist tapping against his door before your brain could process your actions.
In less than a few seconds the door swung open, this time a much more annoyed Tomura greeting you.Â
âWhat?â He rasped, face turned down into a scowl, much different from his earlier indifference.Â
You don't waver, âWhat is your deal?â
His brows shoot up in surprise, âExcuse me?â
âI said, what is your deal? Iâve been delivering to you for months and not a single time have you tipped me! You know that's how I make a living right? It's just unfair.â you huff, exasperated.
This seems to surprise him further, and if you weren't crazy you would think that was amusement on his lips. âTip? Is that what you want?â
You are surprised, but you nod.Â
He huffs, taking a step back, âFine.â
And then heâs gone.Â
Youâre not sure if he intends for you to follow him inside the apartment, but you have an idea that he wouldn't leave his door open otherwise â so, against your better judgment, you go in.Â
It's dark in the apartment, and not very spacious. The dim lighting gives you little to work with but the blue light from the idle game screen playing on the tv in the living room helps you make out what you're looking at. Tomura has already gone deeper into the home, no doubt to his bedroom or wherever he may keep his money. You decide to stay where you are in the living room and look around a little.
The space wasnât⌠awful, messy â yes, but not disgusting. It looked average to what any other twenty-something living alone would look like.Â
You try not to make a habit of getting to know customers you deliver to, but judging from the nintendo switch docked near his television, it seems you may have a little in common.Â
What surprises you are the anime figurines and plushies lining the bookshelf near the television. He didnât strike you as a plushie enjoyer. Finding yourself smiling, you walk over to one. A green dino with goofy teeth and cute eyes. Cute. You reach out to touch it, the plushie feeling as soft as it looked.
The sound of footsteps on hardwood break your focus and you look back to see a grumpy Tomura, looking through his â assumedly empty â wallet, âI donât have any cash on me.â
His hair is fluffy and white, but looks a pale blue in the hue of the paused game on the television screen. His frustration is prominent in his scowl and you take this moment to really look at him, carmine eyes focused and brooding. He was taller than you originally thought and his black shirt was loose around the collar area, exposing his collar bones and you find your eyes drifting lower. You could tell he was toned under the thin black shirt he wore but you had never had a chance to really notice. Unconsciously, you lick your lips.
âDid you hear me?âÂ
Your eyes snap up, cheeks flushing, âY-yeah!â
He huffed, irritation obvious but continued anyway, âwell, what do you want?â
You don't know what you want anymore. If he doesn't have cash then it doesnât matter. This seems like it may have just been an oversight on his part, so you may be better off letting this go. Maybe he would order again and tip you extra next time.
You take a few steps forward, every intention to walk by him and get to the front door when you stop, finally responding to his question, ânothing, just remember next time.â Your gaze catches his and then drifts lower, to his lips. Tomura catches the trail of your gaze and it forces you to look away. You swore there was a hint of a smile on his lips but maybe you were tired, it has been a long day.Â
You shift your weight, ready to continue on your way out when Tomura reaches for your arm, grip tight and demanding. It takes you by surprise, but surprises you even further when he dips down and crashes his lips into yours, rough ones meeting the softness of yours. The kiss is not smooth or slow, but needy and hungry, Tomura playfully nipping your bottom lip before pulling away.Â
âI have an idea,â he breathes and pulls you by the hand to his couch, falling ungracefully onto it and in an instant he's on top of you.Â
Your cheeks are burning as you place both palms onto his chest to halt his movements, âH-hey, what are you doing?â
His laugh is low as if you should already know the plan. âIâm going to give you your tip.âÂ
And then he's down again, lips warm and demanding. A moan escapes your throat and you fist a hand in his hair, overwhelmed and desperate to get more of him. His tongue swipes your bottom lip and you waste no time letting him in. His large hand trailed down your side, and you pressed closer to him. He felt intoxicating, and arousal pooled in your belly as Tomura pulled away, panting. He was just as flushed as you knew you were, the wild look in his eyes only making the arousal between your thighs slicker.
Tomura trailed kisses down your jaw and neck, leaving soft bites in between licks. A particularly hard bite made you gasp, gripping his shoulder and turning your head, giving him better access to your neck.
He only chuckled, sitting back and looking down at you, âYou look like whore.â he spat, teasing tone in his smile. âAll spread out on my couch like this.â
His hands moved to your pants, popping the buttons and pulling them down. You should stop him, tell him to wait because you barely know him and it's a little soon, but his words have you biting your lip and lifting your hips to help him get your pants down and off.Â
That only makes Tomura shake his head in disbelief, a pleased smile betraying his false disappointment.Â
He reaches down and presses his middle finger to your clothed cunt, rubbing soft circles and laughs, âYouâre soaked. Didnât take you for such a slut.â
The words only spurred you on, spreading your legs further and closing your eyes. It felt good to finally get some kind of contact â he was right where he needed to be. Until he pulled away, leaving you more desperate and a complaint on your lips. You stop in your tracks though as Tomura leans down, tongue licking you through your panties.Â
Your hands fly to his hair, moan erupting from your lips. Youâre unsure how thin his apartment walls are, but you don't care. The feeling sends pleasure shooting up your spine and your heart picks up its pace.
Tomura laps at your clothed cunt, fabric muting the full feeling but giving you enough to cry out. You find yourself grinding closer, body begging him to keep going and he obliges, only for a moment. He gives your cunt one more kiss before pulling back and pulling your soaked panties down and off, tossing them across the living room.Â
He wastes no time diving back in, tongue licking a strip from your hole to your clit and your back arches. The hold you have on Tomuraâs hair is so tight, you're sure itâs painful at this point, but he only groans, wet muscle lapping your clit eagerly. Your thighs reflexively try to close, but Tomura is faster, hand stopping them and thumb rubbing soothing circles.Â
âOh, god,â you squeeze your eyes shut, the pleasure building quickly and you will yourself not to go over â not yet. That would be embarrassing.Â
You feel the pressure in your abdomen tighten and it's clear you won't last much longer. Tomura took that moment to suck your sensitive nub and you spill over, mouth open in a silent moan and thighs quivering.
Tomura rides you through it, only pulling away from his ministrations once you catch your breath. âThat soon, huh?â There's no bite to his words and you only give him a halfhearted glare, heavy lidded eyes still reeling from your orgasm.Â
Youâre distracted and donât notice Tomuraâs not finished with his antics. It wasnât until you felt a digit pressing at your heat, slipping in slowly and making you mewl in pleasure. You were soaked, and the pressure making your head loll onto the armrest of the couch. It felt so full already.Â
âAh!â you gasped, feeling the familiar glide of Tomuraâs tongue against your oversensitive clit once more.Â
It was almost too much, your cries reaching new heights as he pumped his digit in and out of your sopping cunt, juices from your arousal mixing with his saliva. He was taking his time building your next orgasm, moving slow and steady, making your toes curl in pleasure.Â
The push of a second finger against your hole had you tapping Tomuraâs shoulder, ât-too much! Tomura!âÂ
Your cries fell on deaf ears as he continued, tip of his tongue flicking your clit as the second finger pushed in to join the first, waisting no time fucking you in earnest. His fingers were thick and the feeling of being so full made you dizzy, pleasure spiraling as you tried to ground yourself mentally. You grabbed Tomuraâs shoulder, fisting his shirt in your hand as you lost yourself in the pleasure once more.Â
Tomuraâs motions ceased as his eyes met yours. You could only imagine how blissed out you looked in this moment, breath ragged and sweat clinging to your brow. Tomura wasnât much better off â he was as desperate as you, hair splayed in wild directions after your hands ravaged through it. You open your mouth â impatient words on the tip of your tongue and Tomura curls his fingers, digits hitting that spongy spot inside that made you see stars.
He flattens his tongue, giving your clit a final lap and it sends you over â for the second time tonight.Â
Your back arches and your legs shake as your orgasm washes over you. The feeling sends waves of pleasure throughout your body, eyes squeezed shut and mind buzzing.Â
Tomura watches as you come apart, palming his erection in awe. You meet his eyes once you come down from your second high of the night and Tomura wastes no time in crashing his lips to yours, clumsy and wet. You could taste yourself on his lips and groan when he pulls you closer.Â
There's a trail of saliva linking the two of you once he pulls away, but Tomuraâs heavy gaze is only on you. He leans back in once more to give you a much softer kiss, before pulling away again and giving the same soft kiss on your cheek â heat rushing to them for reasons entirely different from what just transpired between you both.Â
It was very⌠intimate â in a way you did not expect from someone who had just called you a slut.Â
It makes you want to reach out for him when he pulls away further, eyes seemingly pondering something youâre unaware of. He looked down at you one more time, before looking to his television and his unopened takeout bag on the coffee table.Â
âMy show is about to start, soâŚâ he starts, picking up the remote to change the channel of the television, screen lighting up and noise filling the room. You stare as Tomura sits back and gets comfortable, opening his takeout bag and removing the contents.Â
Was he⌠was he kicking you out right now? Seriously?Â
Your brows fly up, eyes widened in disbelief â his lack of reaction at your scoff only proves you right. He was kicking you out. Bullshit. The humiliation is evident as you scurry to find your pants, not bothering to find wherever the hell he tossed your underwear earlier, and get the hell out of there before you said something you would regret.Â
The only thing on your mind was the front door as you brushed by Tomura one last time.Â
âHey!â he called, gluing you to your spot. Your heart jumped as you turned back to him vaguely hoping he would offer you to stay a little longer.
That small flame of hope died as soon as it came because Tomura was only extending your long forgotten phone to you.Â
You snatch the device from his hand and make your way out the door, face burning and legs still tingling from the way he made you come undone mere moments before.Â
Once you reach your bike you find yourself huffing in annoyance. What else did you expect? Him to offer you some of his takeout? That would just be silly. Youâre walking your bike to the sidewalk, ready to hop on and go back to the restaurant â sure your manager is worried sick about his only driver â before your phone buzzes in your back pocket.Â
Tomura S.
Your eyes widened as you read a text from the name you knew you hadn't saved in your contacts before.Â
You forgot my drink.
Yay team pokemon fireâ¨â¨â¨ma fav is Blaziken idk how to say his started in english
You knew the empty house in a quiet neighborhood was too good to be true, but you were so desperate to get out of your tiny apartment that you didn't care, and now you find yourself sharing space with something inhuman and immensely powerful. As you struggle to coexist with a ghost whose intentions you're unsure of, you find yourself drawn unwillingly into the upside-down world of spirits and conjurers, and becoming part of a neighborhood whose existence depends on your house staying exactly as it is, forever.
But ghosts can change, just like people can. And as your feelings and your ghost's become more complex and intertwined, everything else begins to crumble. (cross-posted to Ao3)
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14
Chapter 15
Thereâs something wrong with your house, but you knew that when you bought it. Right now the thing thatâs wrong with your house isnât the ghost who haunts it, but the fact that said ghost is on day five of an extended sulk. With every day closer to your departure, Tomuraâs gotten mopier, and no matter how many times you explain to him that youâll only be gone for two days, it doesnât seem to stick.
Itâs Friday morning, and youâre leaving directly after work, which means you have to say goodbye to Tomura this morning. Heâs not making it easy. âSomeone else can go. Aizawa can go,â he complains. âI donât see why you have to.â
âIâm the one who started looking into this. And Aizawa has kids to look after.â You finish packing your bag and zip it up. âAre you sure youâre okay to watch Phantom? Spinner said he would ââ
âI know to feed her and play with her and let her out. Iâm way better at taking care of our dog than Spinner.â Tomura is scowling worse than before, and you feel slightly guilty. You like hearing Tomura say that Phantom is both of yours, but thatâs not a good enough reason to wind him up. âWhy do you have to stay away that long?â
âItâs going to take me six hours to get there. I wonât be there until midnight tonight. Iâll take all of Saturday and some of the next day going over the documents, and Iâll be back late on Sunday.â You pick up your bag and start down the stairs. âI donât like being away, either. I like it here.â
âThen donât leave.â
âI have to.â You set your bag down by the front door, then crouch down to say goodbye to Phantom. You havenât left her alone for this long in a while, and youâre going to miss her. If it wasnât for Tomura, thereâs no way youâd take this trip.
Tomura didnât follow you down the stairs, and you hear his voice echo through a house that already feels a little too empty. âI wonât have anybody to talk to.â
You thought about that, too. You thought about it and decided that not talking to Tomura for two days wasnât something you were prepared to tolerate. âCan you come down here? Iâve got something for you.â
Tomuraâs footsteps are slow, almost reluctant, as he makes his way down the stairs. âWhat is it?â he asks. You donât answer â youâre too busy searching through your hall closet for a bag you stashed there months ago. âIf you want me to kiss you before you leave, just say that. Donât act weird and ââ
He stops talking when he sees the bag youâre holding out. âItâs a present,â you say. âSort of. Open it.â
Tomuraâs not very good at opening presents. He shreds the bag, followed by the box, and a charger cable and a pair of headphones fall out and clatter to the floor. He avoids dropping the main event, if nothing else â the smartphone remains in the palm of his hand, and he stares at it suspiciously. âThis is for me?â
âWe can set it up really quick right now.â If you were smart, youâd have done this last night, but last night you were busy â not with sex, which would have at least been fun, but with trying to snap Tomura out of his over-the-top bad mood. You beckon him closer and he hovers over your shoulder as you start the process. âSee, this is your profile. What do you want to set your name as?â
âMy name.â Tomura watches as you set it. âNow what?â
You adjust his phone so itâll always be on battery saver, hook it up to the WiFi so he wonât burn through all your data, and mute all his alert sounds. âNow weâre going to get you some contacts. People you can call or text if you need to.â
You probably spent a lot more time than necessary thinking about whose numbers you should give to Tomura. You ruled out Dabiâs and Hizashiâs instantly â the last thing you want to do is give Tomura the ability to start fights with either of them whenever he wants. Giving Tomura Keigoâs number is risky, but youâre pretty sure Dabi doesnât know Keigoâs passcode. Tomura gets Aizawaâs number, and Spinnerâs, and Jin and Jinâs mom. Jinâs mom, after pleading from Himiko and significant hesitation, agreed to let you add Himikoâs number to Tomuraâs phone. You add the other ghosts, too, even though Tomura doesnât really need a phone to talk to any of them. Last of all, you add Mr. Yagi.
Tomura doesnât like that. âI donât want him on my phone. Get rid of him.â
âYou donât ever have to call him,â you say. âItâs just in case.â
âIn case what?â
You donât really know. Tomura makes an irritated noise. âI want Izukuâs number.â
âYou canât have Izukuâs number. Even I donât have it.â You wouldnât want it, honestly. Giving Izuku unlimited opportunities to text you or Tomura feels like a stunningly bad idea. âOkay, thatâs everybody. Only text them if itâs important, not to start fights. I donât want to have to fix the fence again.â
âI know,â Tomura says, annoyed. He studies his phone, then looks up at you. âWhere are you? Are you in here?â
âIâve been texting you all the contacts.â You tap your number. âThis one is me. You can name me something if you want.â
You show him how to edit the contact, then watch with a little too much interest as he selects a name. He hesitates for a long time, then looks at you. âWhat am I in your phone?â
âUm ââ You added him as a contact already. You hold out the phone for him to examine, and he studies it like heâs reading a textbook. âItâs just your name. Tomura. See? I thought about adding the ghost emoji, but that would have been silly. I can add it if you want.â
Tomura shakes his head, then sets your phone aside and types your name into his as your contact. Which is fine. Except then he adds a display name â My Human. âHey,â you complain. âDonât do that. I used your name.â
He smirks. Part of you wants to change his display name to something like âmy asshole ghostâ to return fire, but before you can say anything, Keigo honks his car horn and hollers from outside. âHey, if weâre going, we need to go now!â
âWeâre going!â you shout back. You pick up your bag and your work backpack and race out to his car. Youâre about to get in when you realize you havenât said goodbye to Tomura yet. And that youâre missing your phone. âShit ââ
âI have your stupid phone.â Tomuraâs on the other side of the fence. You reach for it, but he holds it just out of range. âI want a kiss first.â
âI was going to kiss you anyway,â you say. You lean across the property line, grasp his shoulder to pull him closer, and kiss him goodbye. You donât stop until Keigo honks the horn again.
Youâve been in relationships before, but none of your exes ever insisted on a goodbye kiss when you had to leave for more than a day, let alone a goodbye kiss in full view of the entire neighborhood. Youâre a little giddy on the drive to work, and Keigo, to his credit, doesnât rib you too much about it. âHe knows youâre not going off to war, right?â
âHe knows.â You slouch down in the passenger seat. âHeâs been moping all week. Did Touya do that?â
âWhen I was gone for too long, Touya broke out of the house,â Keigo says. Your jaw drops. âHe and a bunch of other ghosts haunted this old-style family compound, and each of them was confined to a specific area. He broke out of his and into somebody elseâs. You can guess how that went. So that ghost broke out of their assigned haunt, and then ââ
You remember what Keigo said about ghost fights. âHow many ghosts were there, total?â
âSix.â Keigo winces. âI moved pretty fast after that.â
Dabi sounds like he was a lot to deal with even back when he was Touya. A terrible thought occurs to you. âYou donât think Tomura would ââ
âYou told him where you were going,â Keigo points out. âAnd you got him a phone so he can talk to you. When it was me I just dipped for a day or two. I had no idea Touya was going to take it like that.â
âSo that was kind of early on for you guys?â
âI guess.â Keigo sighs. Youâre at a stoplight, and he hits his head lightly against the steering wheel. âAnyway, that one was on me. If heâd been a normal roommate I would have told him where I was going. So I think youâre probably fine. But weâll let you know if anything weird starts happening.â
Youâre hoping it wonât. You change the subject. âThanks for giving me a ride. Parking in the station lot for two days was going to be expensive.â
âNo problem. I was headed this way anyway,â Keigo says. âItâs better that youâre taking the train than driving. Less expensive.â
âItâs harder to track, too,â you say. âI donât think anybodyâs watching, but â still. Better safe than sorry.â
âDefinitely,â Keigo agrees. He merges onto the highway and floors it to a speed he swears the cops donât pull people over for. âNobody wants a repeat of last time.â
Youâre hoping to avoid it. Thatâs what this trip is about. When you shared the idea with Mr. Yagi and Aizawa, they both approved, although they both suggested that they should go instead of you. You held your ground. Even fifteen years after his embodiment, Mr. Yagi has a reputation among ghosts, and Aizawaâs carrying around Hizashiâs marks with no conjurer-forged bracelets to conceal them. Besides, youâre the one who found the asylum, who found Shigaraki Yoichi. Since thereâs basically nothing else you can do to help, you want to see this through.
But that doesnât mean youâre looking forward to the trip. In fact, your dread of it increases throughout the day, until youâre dragging your feet along with your suitcase as you walk to the train. Some part of you knows the dread is irrational, but itâs hard to shake, and itâs got nothing at all to do with conjurers, asylums, or ghosts. The city nearest to the asylum is the one your parents moved to, after you went to college and they sold the house you grew up in. And you and your parents have an agreement to check in whenever youâre in the same city as they are. When you texted them to tell them youâd be there for the weekend, they told you to cancel your hotel reservation and invited you to stay with them.
Itâs been over two years since you last saw them. Last time it was awkward, and it was awkward the time before that, too. Your parentsâ ambitions for you included a college degree and financial independence, and once you hit those milestones, it was clear at least to you that they have no idea what to make of you. But turning down their offer of a place to stay would have made things worse, and besides, hotel rooms are expensive. Saving money is worth an awkward weekend at your parentsâ new home. Youâve never been there before.
You doze on and off on the train, waking up at every stop and checking your phone. Tomura hasnât texted you, but then again, why would he? He existed in the house alone long before you were even born. Maybe heâs figuring out that he likes the peace and quiet, too.
The thought doesnât sit well with you, and youâre crabby for the rest of the ride, although you do your best to shake it off once you arrive. The meeting with your parents will be difficult enough without you being irritated at the ghost in your house at the same time. Itâs just past eleven-thirty as you make the short walk to your parentsâ house from the station, your stomach growling the entire way. Youâll have to order in from somewhere once youâre settled for the night.
Their house is in a small new development, multiple homes clustered around a large central courtyard. You step through the gate and make your way across it to your parentsâ front door. You check your phone one last time, ordering yourself not to be disappointed when you see that Tomura hasnât reached out. Then you raise one hand and press the doorbell.
The door swings open almost immediately, and your father smiles at you in a way that gives you pause. He reaches out and lifts your suitcase out of your hand, then pulls you into the house and into a hug shortly afterward. For lack of anything better to do, you hug him back.
Heâs smaller than you remember. More frail, and thereâs more grey in his hair. How old are your parents now? Pushing seventy â they had you late, and youâve always had the impression that you were sort of an accident. âItâs been too long,â your father says to you. He waits while you take off your shoes, then beckons you further down the hall. âCome along. We held back dinner so we could eat together.â
That doesnât sound right. You rarely ate with both parents at once when you were a kid; family mealtimes were no oneâs priority, and you ate with whichever parent was in the house at dinnertime, or you ate alone. âWhy?â
Your father gives you an odd look. âItâs been too long,â he says again, as if the distance is all your fault, as if they couldnât have reached out just as easily. âAnd it seems youâll be very busy this weekend. This might be the only time we can catch up.â
âI have a lot to do,â you admit. Your father sets your suitcase down just inside the door of a room and continues down the hall. You can smell food cooking. âThank you for waiting for me.â
Your mother is busy in the kitchen, but when you go to help her, she waves you off, under instructions to wash your hands and get settled. âIâm making your favorite,â she tells you, and smiles. But then you see the smile waver. âIs it still your favorite?â
âI make it all the time,â you say. âIt never tastes quite like yours.â
Tomuraâs observed you working on the recipe more than once, and he always makes fun of you for changing it each time. No matter what you change, you canât make it taste right, but maybe â âIf you wonât let me help, can I stay and watch?â
âOf course,â your mother says. âItâs been too long.â
You wish theyâd both stop saying that. If they wanted you to talk to them more now, they should have talked to you when you were a kid. Hizashiâs words pop into your head, like they do every so often: Mommy and Daddy didnât love you enough. Maybe they didnât. Or maybe they just didnât know what to do with a kid once they had one.
Your phone makes the sad chiming sound that tells you itâs running low on battery, and you dig up your charger and plug it in, leaving it balanced on the corner of the kitchen counter as you watch your mom cook. Watching her, itâs easy to see where you went wrong in the recipe, or where you went wrong by following the recipe â there are spices your mom uses that are nowhere to be found on the ingredient list. You didnât watch her cook very often as a kid. Maybe you should have asked if you could help.
The three of you sit down to dinner, and itâs beyond weird. The family dinners you remember were full of silence, but itâs been over two years since you last saw your parents, which means thereâs a lot to talk about. Youâre not sure how to talk about your life now, so you ask your parents about theirs, and hear that your dadâs retired but your mom is working part-time teaching English at a local middle school. They like their neighbors a lot. In fact, they want you to meet their neighbors tomorrow night. Apparently the neighbors have been asking about you.
âWe told them a little, but youâre so busy that we havenât talked in a while,â your mom says. Now you get why they invited you to stay here. Not knowing what your only child is up to looks pretty bad. âHow have things been for you? Are you still working in the public defendersâ office?â
âWhat about law school?â Your dad takes a sip of his drink. Sometime in the last three years, your parents got sort of into fancy wine. âAre you still planning to go back?â
âYeah. Moneyâs still an issue. I had a hard time saving with how high my rent was.â You try your own wine, but you donât know enough about wine to know if itâs any good. âI bought a house, though. So I guess thatâs new.â
Itâs quiet for a bit. When you look up from your plate, you find your parents staring at you with their jaws dropped. âYou bought a house?â your mother repeats. âYou canât afford law school. How can you afford a house?â
âI didnât have enough for law school. I had enough for a downpayment,â you say. âMy mortgage payments are cheaper than my rent was.â
âThatâs hard to imagine. Is it in a good neighborhood?â your dad asks. âIf it isnât â whatâs funny?â
Your neighborhood, being good. âThere are five other houses besides mine. Three of them have families in them. Theyâve been really nice to me, mostly. We all get together sometimes.â
âWhat for?â
Strategy sessions. Ghost fights on the sidewalk. Conjurer ambushes that end with half the street wrecked and some of you injured. âJust regular stuff. I went to one of the kidsâ parties last weekend. I brought Phantom. She was a hit.â
âWho?â
âMy dog,â you say. âIâd just gotten her the last time we talked. Donât you remember?â
âShe sent us a picture,â your dad reminds your mom, while you tamp down your frustration. âIs someone looking after her this weekend?â
âYeah. My ââ The stumbling block of how to describe Tomura temporarily breaks your brain. âA friend.â
You covered it well, you think â but you werenât fast enough. âWhat kind of friend?â your mother asks, way too interested. âA special friend?â
âGod, Mom. No.â You imagine the look on Tomuraâs face if he heard someone refer to him as your âspecial friendâ and experience a brief but powerful urge to crawl into a vent and die. âA friend. Really, I could have asked anybody in the neighborhood. Theyâre all really â nice.â
âA house,â your father muses. âIn a good neighborhood. You must have a lot of friends over.â
You canât tell if heâs needling you or not. He knows youâve never been the type to have a lot of friends. âItâs kind of a ways out from where everybody else lives. Most people donât like driving that far.â
âOh, so thatâs how you could afford it.â
You could afford it because itâs so goddamn haunted that nobody else wanted it, and the only reason you kept it is because the ghost who haunts it let you stay. âI donât mind. Iâd rather drive than have roommates and a landlord.â
Your father nods sagely. Your motherâs on a different track. âWhat about dating? Is there anybody special?â
âNo,â you say, lying your ass off. âIâm not seeing anybody.â
Your phone starts ringing on the counter, but you ignore it, and so do your parents. âI donât want to rush you, but you ought to get a move on, donât you think?â your mother presses. âYouâre going to be twenty-seven soon. If you donât hurry up, all the good ones will be gone. Donât you want to settle down?â
âIâm as settled down as Iâm going to get,â you say. Your phone starts ringing again, and you ignore it again, even though youâd almost take a telemarketer over this conversation. âSorry to disappoint you.â
âYouâre not disappointing us if thatâs what makes you happy,â your dad says, and youâre impressed for about two seconds before he ruins it. âAre you sure thatâs what will make you happy? What about ââ
âWhat about kids?â your mother breaks in, looking honestly distressed. âDonât you want kids? Youâd be such a good mom ââ
You would possibly be the worst mom on the planet. Your phone starts ringing again. âAre you going to get that?â your dad asks.
You should. Three calls in a row means itâs important, but this line of questioning from your parents is pissing you off, which means youâre not in the mood to do anything you should be doing. âNope.â
âIâll get it,â your mom announces. She picks up the phone and gasps. âWhoâs Tomura?â
Your stomach drops like youâve been kicked off a building. âNobody,â you say. âHeâs ââ
âI knew you had a special friend!â
âHeâs not a special friend!â
Your mom brandishes your phone, triumphant. âThen why is there a heart next to his name?â
He wouldnât. He â you stare at the screen of your phone, and sure enough, thereâs Tomuraâs name on the caller ID, complete with an obnoxiously red heart emoji. Youâre going to kill him. You seize the phone, accept the call, and press it to your ear. âWhat?â
Tomura sounds unfathomably sulky when he answers. âYou got me the phone so we can talk while you arenât here. Why didnât you pick up?â
âIâm having dinner with my parents. Itâs rude to pick up the phone at dinner.â Youâre conscious of your parents staring at you with identical gleeful looks on their faces. âJust like itâs rude to call somebody three times in a row. What was so important?â
âYou didnât call me all day.â
âYou didnât call me, either,â you point out, trying not to lose your temper. If he had called you, youâd have noticed his little edit to his contact and gotten rid of it. âIs everything okay?â
âItâs fine. Phantom ate and everything.â Tomuraâs quiet for a second. âYou have parents?â
âYesh,â you say. Did you tell him thatâs who you were staying with? You donât remember. âIâm staying with them, not at the hotel. They invited me.â
Tomura swears under his breath. You can hear him rustling around, but youâre not sure what heâs doing, and the longer you give your parents to prep for their interrogation, the worse itâs going to be for you. âCan I call you back in a little bit? I do want to talk to you. I just â canât right now.â
âHow long is a little bit?â
âI donât know,â you say hopelessly. Why does it matter? Itâs not like heâs going to fall asleep. âI will, though. I promise. I miss you.â
The words leave your mouth before you can really think them through, but itâs the truth. You do miss Tomura. You miss him extra right now, and youâre not looking forward to falling asleep without his presence lurking somewhere in the room. When you wake up from nightmares of the world between, he and Phantom are the only things that make you feel better. âI miss you, too,â Tomura says. Then he hangs up the phone.
You set it aside, then turn back to face your parents. âSo,â your mother says, grinning, âwhoâs Tomura?â
Your ghost. The reason why you donât date anymore. The reason why youâre as settled as youâre ever going to be and the reason why your parents arenât getting grandkids and the reason youâre here at all in the first place. Thereâs no way to explain him that your parents will understand, so you pick the one thing they will understand, even if itâs sort of wrong. âMy boyfriend.â
You stagger off to bed forty-five minutes later, feeling like youâve been run over by a train. Your mom had lots of questions â about where you met Tomura, how long youâve been seeing him, what he looks like, what he does for a living â almost all of which you had to lie about. Youâre going to have to remember all those lies later, too. Your dad was more concerned about why youâd lie about having a boyfriend, at which point you lost patience a little bit and said that the conversation the three of you just had about it was all the reason you needed. Then your mom said she wanted to meet him, and you decided it was time to start clearing the table.
They have a guest room, which is where youâre staying. You get ready for bed, go inside, and shut the door before checking your phone again. Youâve got messages from Tomura â and from Keigo. You open Keigoâs first and grimace when you see what it says. The lights in your house are going berserk right now. If heâs trying to get ahold of you, you should pick up the phone.
Keigo sent a video, too. In it, the lights inside your house are flickering wildly, and the entire property seems to be surrounded by some kind of weird, wavering forcefield. Great. You check Tomuraâs texts next. He wants to know where you are. Why you havenât called him. Then there are a few texts of him winding himself up over reasons why you havenât called him, externalizing a thought process you would have kept to yourself if it killed you, before it occurs to him that something might have happened to you. At which point the phone calls started. You dig your headphones out of your backpack, put them on, plug them in, and call Tomura back.
He picks up halfway through the first ring, and you start talking first. âI shouldnât have gotten mad. I just wasnât planning to tell my parents about you, and because you called me when you did â and because you put that emoji in your display name â they found out.â
âWhy does it matter if they found out?â Tomura asks. âWhy donât you want to tell them about me?â
You almost point out that you said you werenât planning to, not that you didnât want to, but Tomura knows what you really meant. He knows you better than you think he does. âYouâre hard to explain,â you say. âTo people who donât know about ghosts. It wouldnât make sense to them.â
âWhy not?â Tomuraâs climbing the stairs. You can hear them creaking under his feet. âYouâre my human. Not the kind of human Spinner and Jin are. The kind Aizawa is.â
âThe kind Keigo is,â you correct. Tomura makes an irritated sound. âAizawa and Hizashi are married.â
âSo what? Youâre that kind of human. Thatâs not hard to explain.â
Maybe it isnât. Maybe youâre making this more complicated than it needs to be. âI told my parents youâre my boyfriend. I hope thatâs okay.â
âBoyfriend,â Tomura repeats, like heâs never heard it before â but when he speaks up again, itâs clear heâs got a handle on what it means. âIf thatâs what you have to call it so people understand, fine. As long as they know youâre my human.â
You could probably play off Tomura calling you his human as a cute nickname or something, but youâd really prefer not to have to do that. âIf I tell people youâre my boyfriend, theyâll understand for sure.â
âGood.â
Thereâs some rustling around on Tomuraâs end of the line. âWhat are you doing?â you ask. âWhere are you?â
Thereâs a prolonged silence, which means Tomuraâs somewhere he thinks heâs not supposed to be. There arenât many options left these days. âYouâre on the bed, arenât you?â
âYeah. So what?â More rustling. âItâs weird that youâre not here. I hate it.â
âI donât like it, either,â you admit. When you close your eyes, itâs easy to picture Tomura stretched out on your side of the bed, taking up the space you usually would, head resting on your pillow. âMaybe there wonât be as much to go through tomorrow as I thought and I can get home tomorrow night instead.â
âThe sooner you come back, the better.â Phantomâs collar rattles in the background of the call, and you know sheâs jumped up on the bed with Tomura. âSpinner came over. He said I needed a game that wasnât Rainbow Fish, so he gave me one and taught me how to play it. Itâs â PokĂŠmon?â
âHe gave you something to play it on, too, right?â You need to thank Spinner. âWhat do you think of it?â
âItâs okay. The music is weird.â Tomuraâs voice fades for a second, and you can hear Phantom slobbering into the microphone. âIt was more fun before he left. I donât like playing games alone.â
âYou can ask him back over. I bet he wouldnât mind,â you say. âWhich starter did you pick? Fire, water, or grass?â
âFire,â Tomura says. You could have guessed that. âMy rival had water, though. I should have picked grass.â
âIf you picked grass, your rival would have picked fire.â
âSo they always pick the one that can beat yours?â Tomura sounds honestly pissed at the unfairness, and it makes you smile. âThatâs stupid.â
âIt would be boring if it was too easy,â you say. Tomura complains under his breath. âAnd they canât beat you if you build a good team. I used to play that a lot as a kid. I can help if you want.â
âI donât need help,â Tomura says. âYou can watch if you want.â
âThat sounds nice.â You imagine sitting next to Tomura with your head on his shoulder, letting the goofy PokĂŠmon music lull you into a doze. Itâs a weirdly relaxing image. You find yourself swallowing a yawn. âSorry ââ
âGo to sleep. If you donât youâll be slow, and then youâll have to stay the extra day.â Tomura sounds annoyed, but he sounds annoyed any time you have to end an interaction before he wants it to end, so youâre used to it. What youâre not used to is what he says next. âIf you have one of your nightmares, donât just lay there doing that weird shivering thing. Call me.â
You lie there for a moment, stunned. Youâve never mentioned the nightmares to him. You never breathed a word. âHow did you know?â
âI know what sounds you make in your sleep. When youâre having a nightmare theyâre wrong.â Tomuraâs quiet for a moment. âDonât just lay there. Call.â
Your throat feels tight. âOkay.â
Tomura hangs up. You pull your headphones out of your ears, set your phone down on the nightstand, and squeeze your eyes shut. You donât need to cry. Thereâs no reason why your eyes should well up.
Youâre in your parentsâ house. Itâs a new house, but it feels the same as the old house. Even though your parents listen now. Even though they care about whatâs going on in your life â for their own reasons, sure, but they care â your family is still the same way itâs always been. Quiet. Distant. Sterile. Your parents have seemed happier the last few times youâve seen them. Youâve never admitted it out loud, to anyone, but you think theyâve been happier since you moved out, because you moved out. And that was okay with you. The last time you went back to visit, it was fine.
Itâs not fine anymore â not because theyâre different, but because you are. You remember Tomura saying once that he didnât care about being alone before, but he does now. You didnât let yourself care about the way your family was before, but you canât stop yourself from caring now, because now you know how it feels to actually belong somewhere. You belong at your house. Youâre wanted at your house. You make someone happy by being there. Somebody misses you when youâre gone, tells you to hurry back, tells you to call if youâve had a nightmare. Thereâs probably something fucked up about the fact that the only person youâve ever felt at home with isnât even human. But you know what it means to feel at home now. Being away from that is hard. Harder than you want to handle.
You scramble for your phone, and it starts ringing in your hand. Tomuraâs contact, with its stupid heart. You jam your headphones into your ears and accept the call, and for a moment you and Tomura are just talking over each other. The gist of it is pretty clear, though. You were about to call him, just when he decided to call you. âUm ââ
âStay on the phone while youâre sleeping. That way Iâll hear. And I can wake you up.â
Your heart lifts even though it shouldnât. âHow are you going to wake me up?â
You picture Tomura shrugging. âIâll just yell.â
âDonât yell.â The only thing that would be worse than having one of your nightmares is waking up from one to the sound of Tomura hollering in your ear. âIf you hear me start to have one, hang up the phone and call me back. Iâll hear it ringing and itâll wake me up.â
âYelling is faster.â
âAnd itâs scarier,â you say. âYouâd know if you slept.â
âGhosts canât.â Tomuraâs quiet for a moment. âI wish we could.â
That strikes you as weird. It strikes you as weird any time Tomura talks about wanting to do one of the few human things materialized ghosts canât do. âWhy?â
Tomura doesnât answer. âFine. I wonât yell. Go to sleep.â
âTomura ââ
âGo to sleep,â Tomura says again. If you try to talk anymore, heâll just ignore you. You hear Phantom snoring in the background and tell yourself that itâs time to sleep. You shut your eyes.
Somehow knowing that Tomuraâs there on the other end of the line, knowing that heâll wake you up if you start having one of your nightmares of the world between, helps you fall asleep. You think you hear Tomura whisper something as you drift off, but thereâs no way you heard him right. It has to be a dream. At least itâs a better dream than the ones youâve been having lately.
