Mob is totally the sort of person who'd end up falling hopelessly in love with someone who listens to him, like genuinely listens to him. Not just when he has something important to be saying, but for whatever, even the most mundane things like what he had for lunch, the spirits he exorcised, his plans for the weekend, how his day went and so on. Literally anything at all. The simple act of sitting beside him and paying attention to what he has to say means the whole world to him. For most part of his life, whenever his emotions started bubbling up, he'd simply push them down before they could spill over. Saying something off putting or making things awkward, burdening other people with his thoughts... These are the last things he'd ever want. So when he meets you, someone who accepts him for who he is and never makes him feel weird for speaking his mind, oh boy!! he's completely done for. Poor guy can't help the way his heart feels like it might burst right out of his chest.
Divider Creds (in order): @/uzmacchiato, @/dollywons
You were in class, working quietly as the teacher explained how to solve a math equation. A few people weren’t exactly focused, but no one was outright slacking off. Honestly, if anyone had been, it would’ve been obvious– the teacher was the type to throw a fit at the smallest sign of distraction. The only sounds in the room were pencils scratching and his voice cutting through the silence.
That’s why it caught your attention when you started hearing whispers behind you. Low at first, then louder, and then disruptive enough to make you glance back. There was even a bit of stifled laughter. Eventually, the teacher snapped. He spun around, scanning the room before marching toward the source of the noise, a pair of guys still chuckling, and snatched the note they were passing around.
Without a word, he strode back to the front of the class, slammed the note onto his podium, and turned to face everyone. You didn’t think much of it, at least not until he started talking about the note and its contents.
“Love” and “crush” were the two key words that caught your attention. You looked up from where you had been absentmindedly doodling on your paper and finally decided to listen to what the teacher was saying.
He was speaking to the class in that firm, scolding tone of his. “Class time isn’t for passing notes, especially not ones about little crushes.” A few people snickered at that, amused by the idea of someone flirting in math class. “I mean it,” he continued, “this is class time, and I expect this to be the last time I hear or see something like this.”
He took a look at the crumpled piece of paper, eyeing it suspiciously. “Whose note is this, anyway?” he demanded, glancing at the two boys he had taken it from. After tracing the chain of hands it had passed through, the trail finally ended at the culprit.
You, and apparently everyone else, turned in your seats. The culprit was Mob. You were so shocked that you nearly swore out loud. Mob looked mortified. To your surprise, he didn’t deny it, in fact, he actually raised his hand. He stood with his head down, face red with embarrassment.
He almost looked guilty, not just for the note, but for disrupting class at all. The teacher, realizing who it was, simply sighed, waved him off with a warning, and went back to the lesson.
The laughter didn’t stop until the teacher snapped again, and even then, you couldn’t help glancing back at Mob before turning to your work. You couldn’t stop wondering what that was all about…
-
A few more classes passed before lunch finally arrived. You practically jumped out of your seat, determined to catch Mob before he disappeared somewhere you couldn’t find him later. You hurried after him, calling his name until he turned to face you.
“What was all that about?” you asked, the impatience in your voice hard to hide.
“Huh?” Mob blinked, clearly confused, as if he had already forgotten the entire ordeal.
“When you got caught passing that note– the one about ‘crushes’. What was that about?” You fixed him with a look, waiting for an answer.
At the mention of it, he flustered immediately, face pinking as he glanced away. That was when you decided you’d get the truth out of him one way or another.
-
After walking for a while and dragging Mob by the hand to somewhere more secluded (which he stuttered over the whole time), you finally stopped and turned to face him.
“So, let me get this straight,” you said. “You asked Reigen about love, he gave you some awful advice, then Dimple caught wind of it and told you to drop the idea entirely?”
“Yep,” Mob replied, still looking at you.
“And I’m going to guess you let Dimple convince you that writing love notes was a good idea?”
Mob’s face turned pink again, and he nodded while avoiding your gaze.
“Pffft–” You couldn’t help it. You started laughing, then broke into hysterics. The whole situation was just ridiculous.“You actually took Dimple’s advice? After what happened today, I don’t think anyone in that class is ever going to forget it.”
Mob didn’t respond, though he looked more embarrassed than upset. After a moment, he explained that it wasn’t even the first time he had tried. The first note never made it because someone dropped it and the teacher threw it away. The second one got caught in the wind and flew off somewhere.
“Third time’s the charm, huh?” you said with a sigh once you’d finally calmed down. “Seriously though, Mob.” You looked at him deadpan. “Why would you ever listen to Dimple? Or Reigen, for that matter, especially when it comes to love?”
You waited for an answer, but when Mob stayed quiet, your amusement faded into curiosity. “What is it?”
He hesitated before speaking. “Am I supposed to go to you for advice about love?” It was a genuine question.
“Okayyy,” you said slowly, not sure what to make of that. “Well, instead of asking anyone for advice, why don’t you just talk to the person you’re actually dating?” Then you gestured to yourself.
At that, Mob grew shy again.
“Well, ok” You scratched your head, “Just heed my advice ok?”
Mob faced to look at you again.
“Don’t take any love advice from Reigen or Dimple ever again, just ask Ritsu or Teru if you have to. They seem sensible enough.”
Mob nodded, “Yea, ok. Sorry” You sighed and smiled at him endearingly, “It’s okay Mob, you don’t have to apologize.”
“Actually…” You got your bag, opened it, and began to go through it. Then, you took out the very note that had been discarded in the trash after the whole incident.
“I retrieved it some time during another class, I made the excuse that I had to throw something away.” You handed it out to Mob. “I’m not gonna read it if you don’t want me to, but if you’re okay with it– may I?”
At that, Mob flew into a panic. He shook his head then he nodded really hard and then he just broke? You aren’t really sure.
“Hey, it’s fine if you don't want me to–” Mob interrupted you.
“It’s okay, I wrote that note for you so I want you to read it.” Mob looked determined, as determined as he could anyway.
“Seriously?” You asked and Mob nodded, but eventually the confidence he had mustered depleted from his body.
“Can you do it in private?” He had made an ask and all you could do was laugh and nod. “For sure, don’t worry about it Mob.”
Mob had already turned to walk back the way you had come, and you were about to follow when you felt like admitting something.
You stalled and then you added, “Buttt I may or may have not read a bit of it.”
At that, Mob tensed up and whipped back to look at you, “Anddd if you wanted me to give you a kiss on the cheek, you could’ve just asked.” Mob quickly faced away from you, the thought of you doing that seemingly having already overridden his overdrive.
You laughed and caught up to him so that you were both standing side by side, “I was kidding Mob,” he lifted his head “ For the most part anyway.” Then he looked down again.
“A quick one? I promise It’’ll just be a peck.” He looked even redder, maybe you should stop. You quickly stood up straight again, “I'm just teasing, sorry. We should get going though.” You walked a bit ahead before you realized that Mob wasn’t following.
You turned to face him again, “Mob?”
You walked back up to where he was standing and looking down at the ground as if it was something worth noting. “You can…” He mumbled.
“What? Sorry I didn’t hear.” Mob looked up and he told you, “You can.”
oh. OH. You gasped and then gasped at your gasp and obvious surprise. “Seriously?”
Mob slowly, and almost reluctantly, nodded.
It took a bit to get him at an angle where he wasn’t shying away or obstructing his face but you managed to plant that kiss on his cheek in the end.
And It took a bit (a whole lot) to calm him down from it.
Finally, when you decided it was time to head back, you stopped once again. “Can I hold your hand?”
Mob shook his head and you accepted it.
Worth a try.
You two began walking back to class and down the hallway, “Where is Dimple anyway?”
“He said he had something he had to take care of,” Mob replied.
“Let me know when that booger gets back, I need to have a very firm talk with him– Reigen too now that I think about it.”
-
You did in fact smack the shit out of Dimple, the end.
You still weren’t sure how to feel about the fact that he was the one who had added the request for a kiss in the note, not Mob, which you also later found out.
𝆹𝅥 Finding out their sibling has a secret relasionship
Shigeo Kageyama
He trust you and a lot, he believes all your excuses you give whenever you go out or come back late after school, he doesn't want to pry and he is completely sure that if you ever have a problem you will tell him so when he finds out that you have been secretly dating someone he is shocked, he didn't saw that coming and it is a bit worried of why you two keep it a secret, again he doesn't want to pry on you privacy but still ask about your relasionship (after a lot of hesitation), just to make sure this person is treating you right and it isn't a secret for bad reasons, but aside from that he doesn't has much troubles with it and don't say anything to anyone, although he is not the best liar so it would be obvious that he is hidding something if he is asked directly (still he will keep his promise and won't say anything no matter how anxious and preasured he feels, although that doesn't mean the others won't end up guessing by his own reactions)
Ritsu Kageyama
He picks up the hints that you are hiding something rather quickly, he worries a lot about you since you are his sibling, he would not doubt on help and protect you if he has to so the fact that you have being hiding something puts him on alert, he ask mainly to test the water but since you insist on keep lying that is when he starts to think it is something bad, Ritsu doesn't feel alright with prying on your privacy but he is way too worried by now (and he grows more worried and suspicious the more time it happens) so it doesn't really take him much time to find out about your secret relasionship and he will confront you, not in that moment since he doesn't want to make a scene but as soon as he has the oportunity he will interrogate you about this person and why you two have to keep it a secret, no matter if you answer or not he isn't too convinced about this person and will keep an eye on them, just in case
Hello! Can I please ask you to write about Kageyama Shigewa and Fem! Reader. Only the reader is a lazy asshole who drinks coffee 24/7, sleeps 24/7 too. The reader doesn't give a damn, sloppy, always on chill, relaxed and a bit of a clown (at the same time he doesn't know how to joke, but he tries).
Thanks you❤️
— in the morning
Shigeo looked at his calendar, a sigh bubbling at the pit of his throat as he slowly rubbed at his eyes.
Today was Monday.
The start of the week, which is presumably the most productive time one could be, well, at least he thought so. You on the other hand did not share the same values as Shigeo, making his life a hell of a lot more difficult than he’d like to admit.
“Five more minutes.” You mumbled against your pillow while cramping yourself into a ball on the leather couch. Shigeo furrowed his eyebrows as he snatched the warm cover off of you, revealing the remnants of the snacks you ate last night surrounding your body.
“You said that fifteen minutes ago,” Shigeo stated softly as he grabbed your ankle and started to tug gently.
Shigeo is typically very patient with you, but if you chose to be too stubborn, he will use his telekinesis to give you a push. Without warning, you felt your body slowly being lifted into the air and your eyes shot open as gravity ceased to exist.
"Put me down!" You squealed as you thrashed yourself around in a panic.
Shigeo simply shook his head.
"No."
You smacked your lips and tried to swim back down, but you simply stayed in the same place. Shigeo watched your failing attempts, and he could help but giggle to himself.
— on the train
You and Shigeo rode the train together, and you would lean your head against his shoulder with fluttering eyes as you tried to stay upright. Shigeo didn’t mind being your support, so he would wrap his arm around your waist and pull you closer to avoid you falling over.
“I need a coffee.” You yawned barely coherent, and Shigeo turned and pulled out a container from his bag’s side pocket.
“Already packed it.” He answered which caused your gaze to light up.
You came outside in just your sweatpants, an oversized hoodie, and slippers. You didn't feel like putting much effort into your appearance today, so you picked whatever looked the comfiest. You got weird looks from others around you, but Shigeo wasn't phased in the slightest. He was used to it and thought you were beautiful either way.
"What would I do without you?" You hummed as you accepted the warm thermos from his hands. Shigeo shifted his eyes towards you briefly before looking ahead again.
Then, he felt himself grin.
— the jokester
Shigeo tried his hardest to keep up with your jokes, but he just couldn't match your funny. He thought you were absolutely hilarious for what it was worth, and sometimes, he'd catch himself saying the things you would.
"Shigeo?" You called as your favorite show went to commercial.
"Hm?" He turned to look at you as he sat at the foot of the bed.
"I can't reach the remote." You sighed as you weakly stretched your arm towards it. Shigeo would normally get it for you, but today he kicked the remote a few inches farther from your reach.
Then, he shook his head. "That's tough."
Your mouth fell open before you started to break out into laughter. Shigeo smiled at you before scratching the back of his neck. "Did I say it right?"
You continued to laugh while covering your face with your arm. "Yeah, you did just right."
You said I can request 3 characters, right? You could do some HC or story with Naofumi (ROTSH), Shigeo (MP100) and Inosuke (DS) with affectionate and kind female reader (please these guys need love) * I make a heart with my hands * i love you
They really do not get all the love they deserve ♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥Love you too bb!!
⚜️ It’s a given that at first Naofumi would be very skeptical of your kindness therefore refusing your wish to join the part. That was until while heavily bloodied and injured you went to Naofumi first to heal him. Guardian Angel, was the first thing to come to mind.
⚜️ Then your kindness grew on him as time went on as so did his feelings. Every time you touched his hand, arm or tend to his wounds, he felt like a mess of emotions and his mind became fuzzy.
⚜️ Even when yelled, beaten into and even threatened with death it shocked him to when you continued to smile. It was during those moments he knew, he had to protect that and never let it falter.
⚜️ Naofumi would honestly be extremely lost to have someone so kind around him. Especially in the world he’s in now.
⚜️ Maybe he’ll even tell you about his home.
✨ Would’ve exploded once or twice out of happiness in front of you. It would’ve been over what he would consider the silliest of things. Mainly a compliment.
✨ One time Reigen accidentally open a door in a conversation about a little charm you had given Mob. That was the most he’s ever talked.
✨ Mob would be flustered pretty much all the time, unknowing what to do.
✨ The Bod Improvement Club would surround you one day and ask what your secret was, as Mob has been extremely motivated as of recently. Just by holding a conversation with you they were able to understand and practically begged you to join them.
✨ One day when he was feeling really down in he dumps he recieved a text from you, it was a picture of a cat that looked like it had a mustache, but it was all he needed to smile again.
⚔️ Would 100% be aggressive at first and deny all your acts of kindness. Inosuke would do the same to you as he did to Tanjiro and try to make you angry, instead it was him that got pissed off.
⚔️ It wasn’t until you ran towards him in a panic when he had but a few bleeding scratches. The touch of your soft, warm hands was enough to send him to heaven.
⚔️ He would seriously try his best to be kind like you, yet fail miserably. But your kind, encouraging words were more than enough to keep him going.
⚔️ He wouldn’t ask to but he would randomly hold your hands because he ‘can feel your kindness’. It wasn’t meant to seem like a compliment, yet that’s how it sounded.
⚔️ Inosuke will try to cut someone up if someone dared to make you frown.

Themidnight sky was painted with smooth strokes of sapphire and dark lavender hues;the delicate shine of the croissant moon and of the numerous ivory starsenlightened the outlines of the aligned residences. The appeasing chilliness ofthe air refreshed the rare passers-by crossing through Seasoning City, theirrestful walk guided by the warm light of the lamp posts and the few illuminatedwindows. The darkness of the night was torn apart by some awaken citizens who appreciatedthe everlasting silence of these late hours to study their courses, finishtheir work on important projects or to have fun with their loved ones.
Thistranquil night, (Y/n) was staying at Kageyama’s charming household. Their longtimefriend Shigeo suggested them to come over to spend more time together; he knewthey were free this time because their aunt didn’t ask them to look after theiryounger carefree cousins. They obviously accepted the invitation, theexcitement of stuffing their face in delicious snacks and watching stupidlyfunny movies was all they wished to have with the sweet and caring boy. Theythought about the event all day, their already packed bag had patiently waitedfor this moment inside their locker, right besides their clean shoes.
During the agreeablesleepover, hours flew by without them knowing. They enjoyed the late hours ofthe Friday night to talk about all the things they missed, to eat a mountain ofjunk foods and to watch the humorous movies (Y/n) brought. Already watchingtheir third film, the atmosphere of the bedroom felt light and gleeful; thelaughter of the (h/c) teen filled the air.
“Did theyreally end the movie by doing this to the dog? It should seriously be illegal.”They tried to muffle their uncontrollable chuckles out of the sleeping adultsand younger boy’s hearing distance, holding tight on the fluffy blanket theyshared with Shigeo. The boy only smiled back at them, unable to laugh at theblank joke. It wasn’t his type to laugh at funny movies, or anything in general,but he still enjoyed the moment he had this night a lot. He was besides the oneindividual he felt conflicted for so long; he refused to accept the feeling hehad for his friend when they were younger, determined to only feel a platonicaffection. But he can’t stop the loving thoughts of their smile, theirsparkling (e/c) irises and their outstanding capacities of being the sunshineof every life they encounter; they are truly special to him. When he knew they werefree from their responsibilities this night, Shigeo jumped on the opportunityto be with them; he wished for it for so long. At this moment, his heart jumpedat the rhythm of their laugh, a warm blush crossed his round cheeks, he trulyfelt happy.

Thedelicate arms of (Y/n) made their way around their friend’s shoulders, thelaugh now muffled by the soft fabric of Shigeo’s top pajama. The warm of hischeeks increased, his hand hesitantly made its way up to their covered back,soothing them.
“Ah ah,thank you, thank you…” They calmed down and slowly retreated from the hold, to theboy’s dismay. “I think that fatigue is taking over me, we should probably go tosleep now.” (Y/n) suggested, their tired figure standing up to stretch. Shigeo was also feeling drowsy from the longday of school and the wonderful night he shared with his crush, so he simplynodded in response and let out a short yawn.
They pickedup the laptop with almost dead battery off the wooden floor to their bag in thecorner of the bedroom. The sleepy boy used the small amount of time to placeboth their futons down and to gather the colorful empty packages to throw themaway.
Through thecomforting silence of midnight, (Y/n)’s mind was still bothered. Even after theeventful night, the bothersome thought they had for days sadly didn’tdisappear. They glanced to the side, spotting the pastel blue walking form oftheir friend and hesitated. Did he know how to deal with this type of problem?It’s not something uncommon for students to be worried about, but they didn’twant to ruin the whole time they had together to make him reminder of school,and all the stress that come with it.
Shigeo knewhis friend felt uncomfortable when he saw they were still in the corner of hisbedroom, fidgeting and frowning at the wall. He walked to them, concerned aboutwhat happened.
“Is theresomething wrong (Y/n)?” He queried in a whisper, surprising them out of theirintense internal argument. They looked back to meet his porcelain face, theytried to search an answer on his features but soon complied.
“I’m just…Really worried about a test…” They dubiously started, an exhausted sighescaping their lips. “My grades are getting worse these days, and I’m so scaredabout how my parents will react if it continues…” (Y/n) gulped, they knew thelight mood of the night as dropped because of their foolish thoughts, theyshould have kept these to themselves than to share it with their childhoodfriend.
“I know howyou feel.” Shigeo’s voice resonated inside the quiet room, his hand now on hisfriend’s shoulder. “It worried me a lot before, I kept stressing out beforeexams because I was afraid of failing.” He gazed back at the dazzling (e/c)orbs in front of him, his voice halted at their sight. He tried to composehimself before continuing. “I-I think the best way to pass tests is not toworry about them, don’t think too much before it’s time to do them.” A smallsmile was pulling on his lips. “You don’t need to panic on them when you knowyou already studied hard; your work will pay off.”
A preciousgrin adorned the face he admires, a shy laugh escaped the young student’s lips.“Thank you so much, I will follow what you said.” They answered happily. Itwasn’t much for an advice, but it was enough for them to clear away theirinitial worry.
The teensheaded to their respective futon, finally getting some rest of the day. Thecold sheets immediately calmed them, the appeasing feeling soothing theirdrained bodies.
“Goodnight(Y/n).” the raven-haired boy said calmly, his hand on the switch of his lamp.“Goodnight Shigeo.” They replied with a smile, the blanket already wrapped tightaround their form. Mob smiled back at the sight of his crush now relaxed. Hesoftly pushed on the switch, the vanilla light of the lamp disappeared in ablink of an eye and obscurity took over the tiny room. The serene atmospherequieted their past thoughts quickly, their minds drifted away to a new worldfull of mystery.
-
Darkness.
Shigeo’s vision was drowned in darkness.
Everythingfelt eerie, he knew he wasn’t in his bedroom at this moment; he was standing somewherebut his subconscious didn’t accord him any answer. He turned around swiftly,his black eyes inspected inside the obscure place, but the darkness engulfedany possible item or living creature inside of it.
His jitteryfootsteps resonated against the cold sleek floor, he ran across the unknownplace to maybe find a source of light to guide him, someone he could ask for helpor even a wall to reassure him he wasn’t going haywire, but his efforts werefutile. His lungs were screaming for air and his stomach was tied in a tightknot, where was he? What is this place? Does someone kidnapped him and confinedhim in this gloomy room? If so, what has he done to deserve this? A troublingfeeling took over his senses, an emotion of unease spreading through hisshaking body.
Progress toward Mob’s Explosion: 78%
His mind was suddenly attacked by apainful headache; his hands rushed their way to forcefully grip on his short ebonyhair to stop the swinging feeling, his feet staggered to barely maintain hisquivery figure. The distressing sensation worsened, imaginary colors burned hisalready teary eyes. His drained body gave up from the torturing feeling and he droppedon his knees, his pale face felt like melting by the boiling pain, the freezingsurface of the floor seemed to slowly calm it down.
Shigeo tried to steady his unevenbreathing, his throbbing heart felt like suffocating inside his stiff chest,the aching feeling of the unknown taking over his mind.
He didn’t know where to go until asoft, pure white light emerged from the blackness of the room to meet his fuzzysight. His head snapped to its source, a new refreshing emotion bloomed insideof him: hope.
Progress toward Mob’s Explosion: 75%
His glacial hands tried to clear hisbleary eyes, his palpitation calming in relief. He took a restful breath beforelooking back at the light, its outlines wasn’t from the dim glow of a shycandle flame, neither was it from a untamed and dangerous fire, it felt moreshaped, constant, and to Shigeo, strangely familiar.
The silhouette of a running childbecame clearer through the dark. Its spiky hair bounced to the movement of hispace and a kind black smile contrasted to the brightness he offered, a roundform was held by its frail arms.
“Shigeo, I’m so happy I found you!”The young boy exclaimed, its tone enthusiastic. It was a voice Shigeo knew toowell.
“Ritsu… What are you doing here?” Heasked perplexed, standing up in the process. His fingers started to pick oneach other; worry drawing on his features about what was happening.
“More like what you are doing there!But come on, I want to play some games! Do you want to play with me?” The youngRitsu suggested, handing to his older brother the glowing ball he was holding.Mob hesitated for a second, why was his brother a toddler here? And why was heeven here to begin with?
He shook his head quickly; he didn’tneed to be concerned about all of it now. He needed to reassure and to takecontrol of himself. He drew his hand nearer to the warm light, the transparencyof his skin turning his fingers red. The aura felt light and comfortable, hewill play with Ritsu and probably, everything will go nicely.
The moment his touch brushed on thecream shine of the ball, a deafening scream broke the silence of the place.Shigeo withdrew his actions, his hands trying to suppress the agonizing screechfrom piercing his eardrums. He glanced back at his crouching brother, his darkmouth no longer smiling, but wide-open in pain. Black tears travelled thegleaming face, the outlines of his figure turning to a bloody red. He panickedat the sight, what has he done? Was he okay?
Puddles of light red splattered theimmaculate floor, the cry of the toddler became louder.
“You’re the worst big brother! Youkeep hurting me with your powers, it hurts so much!” The red figure yelled, hisbody rising and falling to the movement of his wailing.
“Wait, Ritsu! I’m so sorry!P-please-” The room started to shake violently before he could finish hisexcuse. He fell on his knees and the sound of the screams echoed back to hisdirection. Everything was out of control. Everything was his fault.
Progress toward Mob’s Explosion: 86%
Flashy colors blinded his vision,his mind tried to concentrate on his breathing but he knew everything willbreak down. He tightly shut his eyes; it was it, the moment he will loseeverything.
The screams and the shake of theroom were incredibly more violent, he didn’t know if he will support thesituation any longer. His breathing was irregular, and at the moment he thoughthe will explode, the room was back to normal again.
He looked around, his breathingstill loud after what he experienced. He used the new calm of the room tocompose himself, loads of unanswerable questions flooding his troubled mind.
The clatter of shoes hitting thecold floor made Shigeo’s head snap to its direction, beads of sweat alreadyforming on his temple. The enlightenfigure was considerably taller, its silhouette lanky and still incrediblyfamiliar. The young teen swallowed back the lump inside his throat, his handsshook at the adult in front of him. Was it his master?
“Oh! Mob! What are you doing on thefloor? Come on, stand up.” The voice of Reigen energetically demanded to thequivering boy who complied to his request immediately.
“Okay, now that you are on your twofeet,” He started, a black smirk forming on his gleaming form. “I want to tellyou my excuses.” He confessed nervously, scratching his neck out ofembarrassment. Shigeo’s eyes widened, did his master really apologized to him?But what was the reason?
“I think that… I bothered you toomuch today, and even this week.” His voice started to mumble, he wasn’t surehow to put his words clear. “You wanted to spend more time with your friend andI kept you away from that, I’m truly sorry.” Small tears started to blur hisvision; he couldn’t believe that his master finally understood his situation,and even his feelings. A genuine smile showed on his feature, this has to bethe right path.
“I think that I need to pay youbetter for your extra work, you deserve it.” The glowing figure handed to theboy a rectangular form, the edges of it slightly dropping. “Please take themoney Shigeo, it’s all for you.” Reigen’s dark lips formed a smile, his staturemore confident than before.
His hands started to shake again; hedeeply wished that, if he took the loan of money his master was giving him, theearthquake won’t start again. But he only had one choice.
Progress toward Mob’s Explosion: 90%
His hands proceed to be near the oneof Reigen’s. He retracted his fingers for a moment; the light the young adultemitted was warm and welcoming, he was scared to hurt himself if he touched itagain. He cleared his mind and went for it, his heart beating so fast in itscage.
At his touch, the light’s rim turnedcrimson red, oh no.
His tense hands gripped to his ears,a loud and deeper yell echoed through the room, a mixture of dangerously brightcolors coming from every corner of his vision. His trembling orbs tried to lookout for Reigen, panic rushed when he met the wounded form, firmly holding hisstomach.
“Mob, I told you to never use yourpowers against other! You will only wound them; you’ll hurt the ones you loveif you continue like that…” The scream of terror was making Shigeo crazy,uncontrollable tears ran across his pale face, he never wanted to be like that.“I really thought you would change Mob, I really thought you would change…” Hisvoice was becoming a whisper, the floor shook even more violently, theenlighten figure of his master falling to its side, bright blood spreading onthe ebony surface.
Progress toward Mob’s Explosion: 98%
“I’m so sorry, I-I’m so s-sorry…”
“Sorry for what?” A new voice askedcuriously.
The calm prospered inside theunknown room again, Shigeo reluctantly raised his head up to meet a figure heloves so much. (Y/n) was standing in front of him, the same dark smile adornedtheir glowing face.
“Nothing.” His dull voice replied. “Well, okay, but you can always tell me ifthere is something bothering you!” They enthusiastically said, displaying theirnatural kindness.
For a second, he wanted to tell themeverything, from the beginning to minutes ago: his wish for this wholenightmare to stop, the constant torture he has done to the ones who he trulycared, the heartbreaking cries he heard, and the true disappointment he was.
His mind suddenly blew up. He realized he had neglected thefact he was a part of the darkness he wanted to escape; his form was mergingwith the infinite hole of despair he was destined to be from. He wasn’t asource of warmth and light like they were. They were the rays of sunshine ofthe lives they encountered, they made him feel better when he wasn’t feelingokay, they cared for him when he was sick, they made efforts for his experienceof life to be better, but he never did it back to them. He hates himself somuch. His emotions locked away because of powers he wished to never have, hewas cursed to be a boy who will never make them happy, because he can’t trulybe himself.
“My aunt told me I was free tonightfrom looking over my cousins, so that mean we can do something together! Whatdo you think?” (Y/n)’s light figure jumped at the thought, impatiently waitingfor his answer, but his lips were tight shut.

They extended one hand to him, anadorable black grin pushing their soft white cheeks. “So, do you want to come?”They asked. Shigeo’s eyes trembled at the sight of their delicate hand in frontof him, he knew too well it was a lure, nothing but an excuse to accuse him forthe simplest act he would do.
“No.” His voice was hollow, drainedto even explain his reasons. His eyes couldn’t look at the dreamy light anymore;he watched back the dark floor. “W-wait, why? You told me you really wanted tospend more time with me and when I’m finally out of babysitting, you refuse?” Itwas so hard for the young boy to hear, he did want to spend more time withthem, so much, but he knew he will only hurt them. “I even told my parentsabout it, I said I wanted some time to myself, to be with you more.” Theirvoice cracked multiple times, he could even hear uneven sobs. He feared he madethe situation worse. “I know I can be q-quite clingy sometime, but it’s justbecause I like being with you! We are close ever since we were kids, I reallydon’t want to lose you…” The silence was deafening, both teen waited for theother to say something, but it led to nothing.
“I’m so sorry Shigeo, I won’t botheryou anymore…” Their footsteps hit the floor loosely, they tried to go away fromhim but they abruptly stopped, loudly crying from the building sadness. Theytried to muffle their sorrowful and uncontrollable sobs, and it was at thismoment Shigeo couldn’t hold back anymore.

They kept hiding their misery out ofeveryone’s ears, dealing with their problems all alone because nobody tried tohelp them. But this time, he will do something. Shigeo hastily ran to them, hishand out to reach their darkening form. “Wait!”
Colors flashed when his fingersbrushed against the scalding skin, a burning feeling devouring his own hand at the touch. The same scream echoed inside the dark place, his eyes watery fromthe pain he was experiencing over and over.
“Don’t touch me! You’re a monster! Amonster!” His mind started to spin, his attention could only hear their cries.His vision grew dizzy and he feels the coldness of the sleek floor paralyzinghis burned palms, everything seemed to shatter. Was it the end? Was he donewith making everyone he loves suffer? Did they finally hate him now?
“You will kill everyone with your powers!You’re the worst Shigeo, I hate you!”

Strange lights kept flashing against(Y/n)’s closed eyelids. They stirred, slowly waking up from their relaxing slumber.Their breathing immediately halted because of the uncomfortably stifling air, theyreluctantly opened their (e/c) orbs, curious of the uncommon happenings. Brightcolors completely illumined the room in a mixture of saturated red and blindingwhite, badly hurting their still drowsy vision.
They tried to stand up, mumbling totheir friend questions of what was the reason of these flashy lights, but theysoon realized they couldn’t move. A strong pressure strangled their abdomen,what felt like claws dug into their pajama top. They started to panic,something was off and they knew it. They tried to cautiously turn their head tomeet the source of this intense force and blazing colors, their mind wonderingto everything they remembered from the past night, but the sleep wasn’t totallyoff their thoughts.
Strands of ebony hair were nowtickling their sweat covered cheeks, a black silhouette clung on themand incomprehensible mumblings filled the silence of the bedroom. Their breathstopped, they were in danger.
‘Don’t be near Shigeo when hispowers come out, he can be dangerous’ Is what Ritsu told them ever since theywere toddlers. His big brother’s force is unstable, he can’t hold to them toprotect others, he knows he could wound the innocents if he tried. It isultimately scary to not be in control of yourself; been able to kill anyone ifyou are unconscious enough, and yet, it was the situation (Y/n) was in.
Their palms became clammy, their respirationloud and uneven; they needed to escape from him and quickly. The shaking formof the (h/c) teen tried to take hold of his frail arms, their hands forcefullypushing him off themselves, but he was much stronger than anticipated. His holdbecame more intense, his mutterings louder than before, they made the situationworse.
Stress overcame their senses; theydon’t want to disappear now. They didn’t say goodbyes to their family, theyhaven’t told how much they loved their cousins, their parents, their aunt, howmuch they enjoyed to be with them, how much they care about the memories theyhad here with them and Shigeo. This boy was here from the start and they wishedto be with him until the end. A welcoming family he had, people so nice theydidn’t deserve to fade away with the fresh winds of this night. Everything willdissipate and it will be their entire fault.
They held their breath for a fewmoments, waiting for the end to come, but it never did. The flash of white andred blinded their vision, but less than before. They expired the hot air fromtheir lungs, was this whimpers they heard?
The dark figure behind them wassoftly crying on their back, the sound of sobs halting their palpitations.Their ears were now concentrating on the sound, a feeling of concern shakingtheir thoughts.
After a couple of seconds, they realizedthey were right: Shigeo was wiping on their top, the beads of sweat formingon their back tainted their shirt with his cold tears, but how will they dealwith it?
They felt like they were defusing adangerous explosive, or hiding from a wild animal. They were rummaging through theirmemories to find any advice his family had told them for emergency cases likethis, maybe if they find something they could save everyone and-
“It worried me a lot before, I kept stressing out before exams because Iwas afraid of failing.”
Exams? But it wasn’t about examsnow, it was about something serious: saving lives, they-
“I-I think the best way to passtests is not to worry about them, don’t think too much before it’s time to dothem.”
Wait, this advice could probably beuseful. Stress is an obstacle they need to surpass in this situation, maybethey could-
“Youdon’t need to panic on them when you know you already studied hard; your workwill pay off.”
It was the answer. At this moment,they knew what to do.
They exhaled and inhaled repeatedlyand slowly, taking away the amount of worry which built inside their distressedmind. They needed to relax, think of things that make them calm down.
What first appeared was a picture ofShigeo, of the precious smile he has when he sees them, the warm blush adorninghis cheeks when they laugh and his precious chocolate orbs they fall for solong ago. He makes them happy and they wouldn’t trade this feeling foranything. So if they wanted to experience it again, they had to save him.
Their now steady hands brushedagainst the tense ones of Mob; their fingers comfortably drew circles on hisvelvety warm skin, a soft hush escaped their lips trying to calm him down.Their actions started to pay off; the tight hold their friend had on themloosened slowly. A relieved smile showed on their features, will they make it?
Minutes by minutes, the blindingcolors started to let the darkness of the night take over the room again, the airbecame breathable but the sorrowful cries weren’t dying out. Cautiously, (Y/n)turned around to face their distressed and slightly awoke friend. He wastightly holding on them as of his life depended on it. Strands of hair were disheveledon his pale face, cheeks red from his uncontrollable tears rushing out hispuffy glistering eyes. His pitiful appearance was heartbreaking to look at, hisfriend’s expression was instantly lacing with extreme worry. Their silky handswanted to caress the sadness off Mob’s face, but his quivering lips made themstop their affectionate actions.
“(Y/n)… D-do you, do you hate me?”Shigeo asked softly, his voice was so quiet and calm; they didn’t restrainthemselves to snugly hug his drained figure back.
“Hating you? I don’t think it’spossible.” They laughed at their remark, watching as the dim light of the moonenlightened his figure, relief washing over his past concern. Lukewarm tears ofgratitude travelled his swollen cheeks, a genuine smile spreading on hisbeautiful face.
“Hey, don’t cry, you’re so handsomewhen you smile, you shouldn’t ruin that with those tears.” They continued to giggle,brushing away the warm liquid off his face. His face regained the crimson color(Y/n) loves so much, he was embarrassed of their actions but his pure eyescouldn’t look away from their mesmerizing (e/c) ones.
“You know, I really like you.” Theyadmitted proudly to him, a feeling of joy spreading when they saw the sparklesof surprise gleaming across his irises.
“So, so much.” They told calmly,holding close into his tense figure, their arms completely circling his chest.They could now feel his heart beating at an inhuman pace against their skin, a satisfiedsmile pushed their rose cheeks. Goose bumps made him jump from the loving acthe accepted wholeheartedly, the embarrassment of feeling them so close had alot of effects on him. He hesitantly rested his forehead on theirs, his eyelidsgently closed from fatigue, the side-effect from using too much of his poweroperating.
“I-I-I… I really like you, too.” Hereplied tenderly, the comfortable cuddles were calming him from the pesteringthoughts he had all night. Even if it was all a nightmare, he will still takenotes of it and let the ones he cares about know how much he loves them. But onlyfor (Y/n) tonight, the others will need to wait until tomorrow comes.
