Chapter 11. That Was Easy... Too Easy...

(Y/n)'s pov-

"So, are you going to answer my question, princess?" The burnt man said as he grabs a chair and sits on it, facing me. "Why should I answer? You never answered mine fully, either." The man sighs in annoyance, it was silent for a bit.

"The name's Dabi, that's all you need to know. Now, why don't you tell me about yourself? I don't care about the reason you wanna leave and you know a bit about me." I ponder a moment, his name sounds familiar, so does his appearance..but why? "(Y/n), so, what's your quirk?"

He opened his mouth to talk till some chick ran in screaming for him. "What do you want?!" He said even more annoyed now. "Oooooh, whatcha doing with Izu's 'angel...'" She said leaning on his shoulder with an upset expression on her face. "Talking, what do you want?"

"Boss needs ya." He sighs and gets up. "(Y/n), we will continue this later, also I wouldn't escape if I were you." Ignoring him, he walks away and the blonde sits in his spot he left. "Ooooh, do you have something for him?"

I give a confused look. "Excuse me?"  She smiles at me, but I can tell it's fake. "Dabi, the one you were talking to." Who is she, why is she acting like we are the best of friends?

"Oh, come on you can tell me! I can tell you mine if you want!" Now I feel uncomfortable, why is she acting like this? Something about her..makes me uneasy. "We just met, I have no feelings for him."

Her smile got wider which started to creep me out. "What about Izuuu?" She said his name in an almost angry tone. "No? We are just..friends."

At this point it felt like my chest sunk, I don't like him like that, why do I feel so...sad when I said it? "Hmm... Okay, as long as it's not him~" she gets off the chair and starts walking to a small hallway near the bar area. "It BETTER not in him." She giggled and walked away, leaving me with a chill down my spine. I was left with silence, I looked around to see if anyone was near so I could try leaving again.

'Now that I think about it...why didn't they do anything when I tried to leave? Strange.' I stop questioning it and went to the door. I opened it to see the outside once more, 'that was too easy'. I stop thinking about how strange it was to escape that easily and start to run, looking around to see where I was, my chest sinking more while I run further.

I was near my original post so it wouldn't be hard to find Kirishima's house. It was night time so not a lot of people were out, which sucked if I did get kidnapped again no one would hear me. 'Wait, if he knew where I was for patrol that one night, then does he know I'm roommates with Kiri?' Questions start to fill my head and I gradually got worried. Not long after, I reached Kiri's house and banged on the door.

"Hello?- (Y/N)! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, ARE YOU OKAY?" Kirishima pulled me into a hug and I felt relieved...but I somehow feel my heartache. He walked me in and sat me down on the living room couch.

"Where were you for the past week? I've been searching for you non-stop!" I wanted to tell him everything. That Izuku was alive, and all the weird and somewhat familiar people I've met, and that I was chained in a basement and injected with whatever they put in me! But... Why can't I do it?

"...I-I.." Why am I hesitant? Kiri gave me a concerned look, patiently waiting for an answer. "I was at a bar and I went to a friend's house to catch up on things and hang out. Sorry, I scared you.." Why didn't I tell him, why did I lie?! He looked convened and hugged me, with a relieved look on his face.

"I'm glad you're okay. I can't risk losing another friend, not you, not anyone." He started to squeeze me and sob quietly. "Hey, it's okay... You're not going to lose me." I push him off me gently and wipe the tears from his face.

"Hey, manly shark, wanna order something and watch a movie? I know we bearly hangout, Sooo..." He sniffles and gives me his biggest smile, his cheeks a light pink. "As long as we get a lot of meat, I'm up for it!" I giggle and get up. "Got it, pick a movie while I'll sort out the food."

He nods and gets up excitedly. I go to the kitchen and call a few places to get food for me and kiri. After the food arrived, we put on a movie and ate, halfway through, I fell asleep next to Kirishima. I had a terrible nightmare of everyone I knew died while a voice was repeating itself, making me go crazy. 'You won't leave me, Angel, you can't.'

I begged the voice to stop but it wouldn't. After I gave up, putting my hands over my ears and my knees fell to the ground, the voice stopped. I closed my eyes shut and not long after, I felt someone hug me from behind. It felt comforting, at the same time, I felt uneasy. I opened my eyes to see Izuku behind me.

"I-Izuku! G-Get off of m-e!" I tried to push him away but I couldn't, my arms were shaking so much, I don't know if it's out of fear or what, but I don't care. "Why'd you leave me?" Did he start sobbing which made my heart break..why?

Am I in love, or is it because my 'friend' is crying? His sobs turned into a psychotic laugh, catching me off guard. "W-wha.." I felt my clothes get wet, I quickly look down and there was a knife, I couldn't breathe and started to panic. I looked up to see him now covered in my blood, eyes wide and smiling. "You're mine, you're mine, you're mine, you're mine!" He said getting louder each time.

"All... M. I. N. E!" I woke up, gasping for air, I look around and see I'm in my bed. I look at my alarm clock, it was 7:12 A.M., I rushed out of my bed and rushed to get ready in my hero costume. When I rushed into the kitchen I was greeted by Kirishima, still dressed in his pajamas, making coffee. "Hey, (Y/n)! Your coffee is almost ready."

I gave a confused look as he turns to me and hands me the coffee. He looks down at my clothes then looks back at me. "Why are you in your suit?" He was confused now. "Aren't we supposed to be on patrol?"

I questioned him as he realized something. "Oh, sorry! I forgot to tell you last night that we have two days off." I take a sip of the coffee and put it on the counter. "Well, I better change then."

I turn to go back to my room when I was stopped by his stuttering. "H-hey. (Y/n)..?" I turned back to him, his cheeks slightly pink. "You think we can hang out more today?" He rubs the back of his head and looks at the floor while his face got redder of embarrassment.

That moment Izuku crossed my mind. What if he is looking for me right now? My mind was piled with 'what ifs', causing me to zone out and forget the question Kirishima asked till he spoke again. "(Y/n)?" I jump a little and look at him, giving a big smile.

"Sure thing, dragon!"
