shigaraki drabble
synopsis: shigaraki hates intimacy because his biggest fear is hurting you - the one he loves most.
✿ you just thought that shiggy was new to this - the whole relationship thing with him being so closed off, completely unwilling to let in even the faintest glimpse of intimacy: skin on skin contact, the faint sparks that are discreetly glittered throughout his face when your hand glides through his, and the warm fuzzy feeling he tries to bury ever so deeply into the depths of his heart and when your hand brushed through his hair. His frosted hands would hesitate once or twice before reluctantly detaching his entangled arms away from yours, the way he'd suddenly shut down quietly retracting into himself the space between you two growing distant over time
time had stretched long enough, it became a pattern and an unfortunate thing you'd grown accustomed to...this pestering bothersome routine that had somehow infiltrated into the comforts of your lives (which is a strange thing to say when you're dating the leader of the lov, yet when you find yourself in the presence of him, you feel like for once you're actually allowed to be yourself and somehow the worries fade away...is what it felt like before the space between you grew and grew) just to now lie between you both, yes, between you both was a large suffocating pocket of air that had been burdening you both since the start of your relationship.
Give it time is what you tell yourself, the same lie repeating itself over and over and over again in your head.
pt. 2 maybe?😼
