Shigaraki x Reader
Context: You give him a spa day to help him feel better :)
Comments and feedback are appreciated š„¹š«¶š»
The bathroom was warm and filled with steam, the scent of lavender bath salts wafting through the air. You stood by the tub, waiting as Shigaraki leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed, looking like he wanted to disappear into the wall. His crimson eyes darted away from yours, his shoulders stiff and defensive.
āWhy are you making me do this?ā he muttered, his voice a mix of frustration and embarrassment. āI donāt need you to babysit me.ā
āYouāre not a baby,ā you shot back, keeping your tone soft but firm. āBut youāre clearly in pain. I can see it every time you scratch yourself raw or flinch when you move. Just⦠let me help you for once, okay?ā
He huffed, dragging a hand through his hairāa dangerous gesture considering his quirk. āItās not gonna fix anything.ā
āNo, but it might help you feel a little better,ā you said, stepping closer. āYou deserve that.ā
His lips pressed into a thin line, but after a long moment, he sighed heavily and tugged his shirt over his head. The fabric caught on his elbows, and you stepped in instinctively to help. He froze, the proximity clearly making him uncomfortable, but you ignored it and gently peeled the shirt away, careful not to graze his fingers.
When his torso was finally exposed, you couldnāt help but let your gaze linger for a moment. His chest was littered with old scars and faint scratches, his skin pale but visibly irritated in places. He shifted uncomfortably under your stare.
āDonāt look at me like that,ā he muttered, his voice low. āI know itās disgusting.ā
You blinked, snapping out of your thoughts. āItās not disgusting,ā you said softly, shaking your head. āI just⦠I hate seeing you like this.ā
His expression hardened, but you caught the faint flicker of vulnerability in his eyes. He didnāt say anything as he moved to unbuckle his belt, and you turned away out of respect, your cheeks warming slightly.
āGet in the bath,ā you said once you heard the faint rustle of fabric hitting the floor. āThe waterās ready.ā
He stepped into the tub, lowering himself slowly into the warm water with a quiet groan. The tension in his shoulders eased almost instantly, and you could see the faintest hint of relief on his face as he leaned back against the edge.
You knelt beside the tub, rolling up your sleeves. āThis might sting a little, but itāll help,ā you said, reaching for the washcloth.
His eyes flicked to yours, wary but trusting. āDo whatever you want,ā he said softly, resting his arms on the sides of the tub.
You dipped the cloth into the water, lathering it with a gentle soap before carefully running it over his arm. He tensed at first, but as you worked, his muscles relaxed under your touch.
āYāknow,ā you murmured, your voice light but tinged with concern, āI really wish youād take better care of yourself.ā
He scoffed, his lips twitching into a faint, self-deprecating smile. āYeah? Sorry you have to look at me like this.ā
You paused, your hand stilling on his shoulder. āShut the fuck up,ā you said bluntly, your voice firm but not unkind.
His eyes widened slightly, and you could see the faintest hint of surprise in his expression.
āI donāt care about how you look,ā you continued, your tone softening. āI want you to take care of yourself because I can see how much pain youāre in all the time. I just⦠I want you to feel better. Even if itās just a little. And if that means I have to rub lotion on every inch of your body to make it happen, then I will. I donāt mind.ā
You hesitated, your cheeks warming as you realized how forward that sounded. āI just, uh⦠you know what I mean.ā
A faint flush crept up his neck, and he turned his head away, his voice unusually soft. āYouāre too good to me.ā
The washcloth glided over his arm, the soft pressure coaxing a sigh from his lips as he sank deeper into the bathwater. You worked in silence, focused on cleaning the irritated areas of his pale, scarred skin. His muscles, usually tense and on edge, seemed to relax under your care. But after a while, he shifted slightly, his crimson eyes flicking to yours.
āThe towelās⦠too rough,ā he murmured, his voice quieter than usual. āCan you just⦠use your hands?ā
Your hands froze mid-motion, your breath catching slightly. āY-You meanā¦?ā
He frowned, clearly irritated with himself for asking, but he didnāt take it back. āYeah. Just your hands. It⦠feels better that way.ā His gaze shifted away, as if he couldnāt bear to watch your reaction. āForget it if you donāt want to.ā
You shook your head quickly, biting back the flush creeping into your cheeks. āNo, itās fine. Iāllāyeah. If it makes you feel better.ā
Setting the washcloth aside, you dipped your hands into the warm, soapy water, rubbing them together to lather the soap before placing them gently on his shoulder. His skin was warm beneath your palms, and you could feel the subtle tension still lingering there as you began to move.
Your fingers worked in slow, careful circles over his shoulders, kneading the stiff muscles there before trailing down his arms. His biceps twitched slightly under your touch, and you couldnāt help but notice how lean and defined his muscles were, despite his wiry frame.
āThis okay?ā you asked softly, glancing up at him.
He nodded, his crimson eyes half-lidded as he leaned back a little more. āYeah. Keep going.ā
You let your hands slide down his arms, taking your time to wash each one thoroughly. Your thumbs grazed over the sharp ridges of his elbows and the softer curves of his forearms, your touch light but deliberate. When you reached his hands, you hesitated, carefully avoiding his fingertips.
āCareful with my hands,ā he murmured, his voice low but not harsh. āJust⦠donāt touch the tips.ā
āI know,ā you said softly, guiding the soapy water over his knuckles and palms with the utmost care. āI wonāt.ā
Once his arms were done, you moved to his chest, your hands trembling slightly as they brushed against the firm planes of his torso. His chest rose and fell steadily under your touch, and you tried not to focus too much on the scars that littered his skin, or the way his muscles shifted beneath your palms.
āYouāre blushing,ā he muttered, his lips quirking into a faint smirk despite himself.
āShut up,ā you shot back, your voice flustered but not unkind. āIām trying to help you, remember?ā
His smirk softened into something gentler, and he let out a quiet hum as you continued. Your hands moved down to his stomach, the soft skin there slightly more sensitive under your touch. He twitched faintly when your fingertips grazed a particularly ticklish spot, and you couldnāt help but smile.
āDidnāt take you for the ticklish type,ā you teased lightly, your voice warm.
āShut up,ā he mumbled, but there was no bite in his tone.
After finishing his front, you leaned back slightly, motioning for him to sit forward. āTurn around so I can get your back.ā
He obeyed, shifting in the tub until his back was to you. His shoulders were lean and angular, his back a canvas of old wounds and scratches that made your chest ache. You let your hands glide over his skin, your fingers careful but firm as you washed away the grime and tension that clung to him.
When you finished his back, you sat back on your heels, taking a moment to let your hands rest. āAlright,ā you said, your voice soft. āNow, lean back again so I can wash your hair.ā
He gave a faint nod, shifting until he was reclining against the edge of the tub. His crimson eyes met yours briefly before sliding shut, his expression almost peaceful.
āDonāt get soap in my eyes,ā he murmured, his lips twitching into the faintest hint of a smirk.
āIāll do my best,ā you said with a small laugh, reaching for the shampoo.
The warm water cascaded over both of you as you prepared to move on to his hair. You grabbed the cherry-scented shampoo, a slight smile tugging at your lips as you squeezed some into your palm. āI hope you're okay with smelling like cherries,ā you teased gently, your fingers already moving toward his hair.
Shigaraki blinked lazily up at you, his eyes half-lidded, clearly trying to relax. āI donāt care,ā he muttered, but you could see the faintest flicker of amusement in his gaze.
You gently ran your fingers through his unruly, spiky hair, the soft pressure soothing him as the cherry-scented lather spread through the strands. The smell of sweet cherries mixed with the warm steam of the bath, and you focused on massaging his scalp, carefully working the shampoo through the tangled locks. You paid close attention to his scalp, where the skin was tender from his quirk, and you worked in slow, deliberate circles, the tips of your fingers pressing down just right to relieve some of the stress.
As you did, Shigaraki's breath hitched unexpectedly, and he let out a low, almost involuntary moan that echoed around the bathroom. Your fingers stilled for a brief moment, but you didn't say anything, instead continuing to massage his scalp with extra care. You didnāt tease him; you could feel the way his shoulders relaxed under your touch, and you didnāt want to ruin that moment.
āYou okay?ā you asked softly, not wanting to break the moment but also needing to check.
He blinked, eyes still closed, clearly a little flustered now. āYeah,ā he muttered, rubbing a hand over his face. āJust⦠donāt get used to it.ā
You didnāt press the issue. Instead, you gently rinsed the shampoo out of his hair, the water swirling around you both as it carried away the soap. You reached for the conditioner next, squirting a generous amount into your palm.
āI donāt need any of that girl shit,ā he grumbled, not even bothering to open his eyes.
You laughed, the sound soft and warm, almost comforting. āI just washed your hair with cherry-scented shampoo. Conditioning your hair isnāt going to hurt your masculinity, I promise.ā
He scoffed, but it didnāt sound entirely convinced. āFine. But youāre doing it, not me.ā
You smirked, shaking your head, and worked the conditioner into his hair with care. You took your time, making sure it coated each strand as you massaged it into his scalp before working it down to the ends of his hair. His hair was soft under your touch, but you could still feel the dryness at the ends, the way it needed more nourishment.
āYouāve got some dry spots in your hair,ā you muttered as you worked, and he grumbled in response, clearly uninterested in the details.
āI know, justāhurry it up,ā he muttered, but there was a note of something almost like relief in his tone.
You didnāt rush. Instead, you carefully left the conditioner in his hair for a few minutes, paying attention to the ends, letting the treatment sink in. He leaned back into the tub, his eyes closed, breathing slow and steady, almost at peace.
āAlright,ā you said after the five minutes passed, your fingers gently working through his hair one last time. āTime to rinse.ā
As the water poured over him again, you rinsed the conditioner from his hair, making sure not to get it in his eyes. His hair felt softer now, a bit smoother, and it had a faint, lingering scent of cherries that made you smile.
āGood?ā you asked quietly.
He opened his eyes, meeting yours with a mix of exhaustion and something like appreciation. āFine,ā he said, but you could hear the soft note of gratitude in his voice. "Itās better. Thanks."
You smiled, brushing his hair back away from his face gently. āYouāre welcome.ā
You stood by as Shigaraki carefully climbed out of the bath, his movements deliberate and a little slow, but you didnāt rush to help him. After all, he wasnāt a baby. He was still more than capable of managing on his own, and you had a feeling he wouldnāt appreciate the extra attention. Instead, you handed him a towel, letting him dry himself off as he seemed to enjoy the rare moment of being left to his own devices.
You couldnāt help but smile softly as he wiped himself down, his hands still tender but determined to handle it on his own. It was a quiet reminder that even though he was tough in a lot of ways, he still needed care, even if he didnāt always show it.
Once heād taken care of the rest of his body, you stepped forward, the towel in your hands ready to help him with his hair. āLet me help with your hair,ā you said softly, your voice gentle, knowing heād probably let you now.
He glanced at you for a moment, a bit hesitant, but then gave you a short nod. āFine, whatever. Just donāt make it weird,ā he muttered.
You simply nodded, your fingers gently working through his damp hair, twisting the towel in your hands as you began to dry the strands. You used a separate towel for his hair, careful not to tug too hard or pull at any sensitive spots. As you worked, you brushed the towel through the wet strands, your fingers carefully raking through the hair that had been so soft after the conditioner.
āYou know,ā you said softly as you finished drying him off, āyou really should take better care of your hair. It could be a lot softer if you didnāt just let it get all tangled.ā
He let out a quiet scoff, but it lacked any real bite. āDonāt care about my hair. Itās fine.ā
āRight, just like the rest of you is āfine,āā you teased lightly, making him shoot you a side-eye. You could tell he was trying to hide the soft hint of a smile that wanted to creep onto his face, but you could see it in his eyes.
You gently ran your fingers through his damp hair once more before applying some leave-in conditioner. The cool cream smoothed over his hair, helping to keep it soft and manageable. You massaged it in, feeling the strands more gently now that they were drying. After youād finished, you grabbed the comb you kept nearby and carefully worked through the hair, making sure to detangle it without pulling too harshly.
His hair was in much better shape now, and you could tell he felt the difference as he gave it a few more ruffles, the soft texture running between his fingers. āBetter?ā you asked.
āYeah, yeah,ā he muttered, sounding a little gruff, but you could tell he was secretly grateful for the effort.
Next, you made a pointed glance toward the bathroom mirror. āAlright, now brush your teeth,ā you said, crossing your arms over your chest as you leaned against the doorframe.
Shigaraki immediately gave you a look, his eyes narrowing. āWhy? I donāt needāā
āShigaraki,ā you interrupted, holding your hand up. āIām not kissing you if you donāt brush your teeth. Iām not suffering through that.ā
He blinked at you in surprise, before the corner of his lips lifted ever so slightly in a rare smirk. āFine, fine. I get it, princess.ā
You watched him move toward the sink, still a little sluggish from the bath but clearly used to the routine. Despite his general lack of self-care, Shigaraki did brush his teeth on occasion, and you knew he didnāt want to push it with you. He didnāt want to make it uncomfortable for you, even though his quirks and habits were, at times, less than ideal.
You waited patiently as he brushed, watching as he rinsed his mouth afterward, his grumbling to himself barely audible as he finished up. When he was done, you couldnāt help but smile. āBetter?ā
He gave you a small, resigned look, but there was a hint of a smile behind the annoyance. āYeah. Happy now?ā
āVery,ā you said, meeting his eyes with a soft smile.
It wasnāt much, but the simple moments of care you were able to offer, even when he tried to resist it, made you feel like you were getting through to him in the most important ways.
As you stood by, watching Shigaraki finish up with his teeth, you couldnāt help but notice how dry his skin lookedāespecially his lips. It was obvious that he hadnāt been taking care of himself as he should. His skin, usually pale to begin with, appeared irritated in spots, with patches that looked sore from neglect. You knew, in that moment, it was time for some more serious attention.
āAlright, weāre not done yet,ā you said, moving over to the small cabinet where you kept your skin care products. He turned his head slightly, eyes narrowing.
āWhat now? You want to rub some of that girly lotion on my face or something?ā
You chuckled softly, pulling out the facial cream and lip balm you kept stocked for days like this. āYou need it, Shigaraki. Your lips are dry as hell, and your face looks like it could use some hydration.ā
āNot the face, babe,ā he muttered, turning away as if the suggestion alone was embarrassing. āIām not putting any of that shit on.ā
You rolled your eyes, walking up to him and gently lifting his chin with your finger, forcing him to look at you. āDonāt be so difficult,ā you said, your voice soft but firm. āYou need this. Itās not just about looking pretty, itās about taking care of yourself so you donāt feel like youāre falling apart all the time.ā
He huffed in frustration, but you could see the reluctance in his eyes. āIām fine, I donāt need it. I donāt care about that stuff.ā He glanced at the products in your hand with a glare, clearly irritated by the idea of being pampered.
You were having none of it, though. āStop it. You know Iām not letting you get away with this. Youāre not getting out of this one.ā You moved forward with determination, taking a small amount of the facial cream and gently applying it to his face, starting at his forehead and working your way down. His skin was rough, but the cream was smooth, and you massaged it in carefully. He grumbled under his breath, but there was no way he was getting out of this.
āYou seriously want me to let you do this?ā he muttered, voice low, clearly self-conscious. āIām not some pampered idiot, you know.ā
You leaned in closer, your fingers working in slow circles around his face. āYou donāt have to be a pampered idiot. Youāre my idiot, and Iām taking care of you. Youāve got to let me.ā
His shoulders stiffened, but he didnāt pull away, allowing you to finish applying the cream. āIf you keep making that sound all sweet and patient, itās gonna make me feel soft,ā he grumbled, clearly trying to maintain some of his edge, but the fact that he was letting you do this without pushing you away said enough.
āGood,ā you said with a teasing smile. āYou need to feel soft every once in a while.ā
You moved to his lips next, pulling the lip balm out and uncapping it with a small click. He groaned in protest, looking away as you gently applied it to his lips, smoothing over the dry, cracked skin. It wasnāt easyāhe kept trying to dodge it, his eyes narrowing in embarrassmentābut you werenāt having it.
āStop fussing,ā you said softly, your hands gentle as you finished up. āYou look way better when you take care of yourself, and you feel better too. Trust me, I wouldnāt make you do this if I didnāt think it would help.ā
He sighed in defeat, his gaze softening as he let you finish. āYouāre impossible,ā he muttered, but you could see the hint of relief in his expression.
āYeah, but Iām your impossible,ā you teased lightly, brushing a stray piece of his hair away from his face. āNow, youāre all moisturized. You can thank me later.ā
He didnāt respond immediately, but the look in his eyes spoke volumesāa mix of frustration, reluctant gratitude, and something a little more tender, like he was slowly coming to realize that this weird, loving care was something he didnāt mind after all.
You gave him a firm, yet playful, look. āAlright, go ahead and put on some sweatpants,ā you instructed, ābut leave the shirt off. Youāre not done yet. Iām not finished with you.ā
Shigaraki raised an eyebrow, a mix of confusion and mild annoyance crossing his face. āWhat, are you planning to make me wear a whole outfit or something? Iām not your doll.ā
You smiled, the tease in your voice unmistakable. āI donāt need you to wear a shirt right now. Just go and get the sweatpants on and lay down on the bed. Iāll be right there.ā
He shot you a look, still reluctant, but you could see the hesitation behind his usual tough exterior. āFine,ā he muttered, standing up slowly, his towel barely staying in place as he shuffled toward the other room.
The soft patter of his bare feet on the floor was the only sound for a moment, and you couldnāt help but watch him go, your heart skipping a beat. Even though he wasnāt showing it, you knew he appreciated the care. It wasnāt something he was used to, but you could feel the walls around him slowly coming down bit by bit.
Once he disappeared into the other room, you took a deep breath and gathered the final things you needed for the next part of his care. This was important for him. More than the skin treatments or moisturizing, this was about making him feel⦠well, cared for, in ways he might not let himself admit.
You walked into the other room, finding him already laying on the bed, his back propped against the pillows. His towel was tossed aside, his bare chest exposed but free from the weight of his usual responsibilities. There was something so unguarded about him in that moment, and you knew it was the perfect time to keep pushing him to take care of himself.
You walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, placing the lotion youād brought with you beside you. Shigaraki didnāt meet your eyes, but his posture was slightly more relaxed. That was something. It was just a small step, but it was progress.
āAlright,ā you said, meeting his gaze with a soft smile, āletās get you settled, yeah? Iām not done yet.ā You could see a faint glimmer of understanding in his eyes as you spokeāhe wasnāt resisting as much, even though he still acted like he was too proud to let himself enjoy it.
You took a steady breath as you stood beside the bed, grabbing the lotion from the side and squishing a generous amount into your palm. The quiet tension in the room hung between you both, a mix of care, nervousness, and unspoken affection.
"Alright, babe," you murmured gently. "Lay on your back for me."
Shigaraki, always so tense and guarded, complied without protest. As he settled back against the pillows, you couldnāt help but notice how his muscles shifted beneath his skin. Despite the roughness, the dry patches of his skin, he was still incredibly lean, defined in a way that caught your attention, even now. You sat on the edge of the bed, ready to begin.
His voice was low and cautious as he muttered, "Be careful with my hands... I don't want to hurt you."
You gave him a reassuring smile, leaning down slightly. "I know, baby. I know. Donāt worry." You let your fingertips trail lightly along his shoulder, just to reassure him before beginning the task you knew would make him feel better.
Squinting slightly, you pressed your palm to his back, starting from the lower part of his spine, the skin rough to the touch from years of neglect. You poured a bit of lotion into your hands, warming it up, then gently massaged it into his back. The moment your hands touched his skin, you noticed the way his muscles seemed to relax slightly, the tension in his body easing under your tender care.
You moved slowly, deliberately, as you worked the lotion into the dry patches, your hands moving up to his shoulder blades. The muscle there was so definedālean, hardābut you could feel the discomfort beneath it. His body had carried so much, been through so much, that it almost felt like you were massaging away years of pain and stress.
"Does that feel alright?" you asked quietly, your voice almost a whisper.
Shigaraki didn't answer immediately, but you could feel the change in his postureāhis body was responding, the tightness in his shoulders loosening as you carefully worked the lotion into his skin. His head turned slightly, and his voice was barely audible as he warned, āBe careful with my hands⦠I donāt want you toāā
āI know, baby, I know,ā you reassured him with a soft laugh. āIāve got you. Donāt worry.ā
Moving down, your hands skimmed over his arms, your fingers caressing the backs of his shoulders and along the back of his arms. The skin there was tough, scarred in places, but the muscles themselves were like stone, defined in a way that only added to his rugged charm. You reached the backs of his hands, where his fingersāso sharp, dangerous, and unpredictableālay curled against the bed.
He visibly tensed. āI... I donāt know about this,ā he said quietly, his voice edged with uncertainty. āTouching my hands, I meanā¦ā
You smiled softly, leaning closer to his ear. āDonāt worry,ā you said, your fingers brushing his wrist as you whispered, āIām fine as long as I donāt touch all five at once. Youāre safe. Iām here.ā
He seemed to relax, just slightly, though his hand remained a little stiff. You carefully massaged around his hand, making sure to avoid touching more than four of his fingers at once. It felt delicate, almost fragile, but you handled him with care, making sure he felt the reassurance of your touch.
After a moment, you gently moved your hands back up, tracing your fingers along his shoulders one last time before moving to the front of his body.
His breath hitched for just a second, and you couldnāt help but feel a rush of warmth creep up your neck. Your heart pounded in your chest as you moved to straddle him, your knees gently pressing into the mattress beside his waist. As you looked down at him, you couldnāt help but notice how handsome he wasāhis chest, lean and muscular despite the dryness and roughness of his skin, was almost hypnotic.
You swallowed hard, your face flushing under the weight of your thoughts. His eyes met yours, his expression unreadable, though you could feel the faintest tremble in the way he inhaled.
"Okay..." you whispered, your hands shaking just a little. "I need to get your front now." You dipped your hands into the lotion once again, focusing on the warmth of it as you rubbed it into your palms. āIāll take care of you.ā
You started at the top of his shoulders, your fingers gently massaging the area, moving slowly to cover every inch of his skin. He was tense at first, unsure of how to react, but you could see the softening in his features as your hands moved across his chest.
You paid extra attention to his neck, the skin there often neglected, but this time you made sure to ease the rough patches, the discomfort. You took your time as you moved down to his collarbones, feeling their sharpness under your touch, and then along the front of his arms. You could sense the slight tremor in his muscles as your hands traced their way down his body, and you did your best to soothe it, working the lotion into every inch of his skin.
When you reached his chest, you couldnāt help but linger. You ran your hands along the defined muscles of his torso, pausing just to admire how his body shifted under your touch, the care you were giving him making him a little more at ease.
His voice broke through the quiet as he mumbled, āRemember my hands...ā
You smiled gently, your fingers lingering on his chest for just a moment longer before you looked up at him. āShh, I know. Iām not gonna get hurt.ā
With a soft, almost relieved exhale, Shigaraki closed his eyes, and you returned your focus to his stomach. The muscles there were just as defined, firm beneath your touch, and you took your time massaging the lotion into the rough patches, letting your hands linger over the hard lines of his abs before smoothing them down his sides.
As you finished rubbing lotion into his stomach, you carefully shifted off of him, no longer straddling his waist. The moment you moved away, Shigarakiās expression faltered just slightly, his lips curling into a small frown. You couldnāt help but notice how he seemed almost disappointed, and for a brief moment, your chest tightened with guilt.
His voice, quiet and almost unsure, broke the silence. ā...Itās over?ā
You blinked at him, surprised by the vulnerability in his tone. For a moment, you werenāt sure what to say. You hadnāt expected him to feel that way, but there was something almost comforting in the way he wanted your attention. You gave him a soft smile, feeling a warmth spread through you. You had never seen him like this beforeāopen, asking for care, for reassurance. You found it endearing, and honestly, a little heartbreaking.
āOf course not,ā you said quickly, reaching for more lotion. āI didnāt mean to rush you. If thereās anywhere you want me to spend more time on, Iāll do it.ā
Shigaraki shifted slightly, his eyes casting downward for a moment as if considering. Then, his voice, quiet yet laced with a hint of uncertainty, spoke up. āCan you... can you go over my neck again? And my shoulders? Maybe my elbows... and my stomach, too?ā
You smiled, unable to hide how pleased you were that he was finally opening up to you. You could tell that, despite his usual cold demeanor, he was actually starting to appreciate the care you were giving him. It wasnāt just the physical reliefāit was the connection, the intimacy of it all.
āOf course,ā you said, moving back into position, and his gaze lingered on you for a moment, something soft in his expression. You grabbed more lotion and began by gently massaging his neck again, feeling the subtle tension in his muscles as your hands worked their way over the rough patches, smoothing them out with the lotion. His neck was always a sensitive spot, but you could tell he was beginning to relax as you worked.
You moved to his shoulders next, your fingers carefully kneading the muscle there, giving extra attention to the spots where you knew he carried the most stress. He let out a quiet sigh, his body sinking into the bed a little more, the weight of the tension easing under your hands.
When you reached his elbows, you noticed the faint scars that lined them, reminders of his past, of the battles he had fought. You took your time, gently massaging the skin there, making sure to be thorough without causing him discomfort. His breath slowed, and for a moment, you both just existed in the stillness, the sound of your hands working his skin and the occasional breath he let out.
You moved back to his stomach, lingering there once more. He had such defined muscles, and despite the dryness and roughness, you could still see the strength he carried within his body. You worked the lotion in slowly, your fingers gliding over the hard lines of his abs. His chest rose and fell with each breath, the tension slowly melting away as you moved your hands gently across his stomach, giving it the care it deserved.
Shigarakiās eyes closed for a moment, his expression softening, a quiet hum of contentment leaving his lips. His usual coldness had slipped away, replaced by something more raw, more vulnerable. For once, he wasnāt hiding behind his harsh exterior, and you could see itāthe subtle way his body language had shifted. He was starting to trust you more, to appreciate your touch, and it was everything you had hoped for.
āThank you,ā he murmured, his voice softer than you were used to hearing. It wasnāt much, but it was enough.
You smiled, leaning in closer to him, your fingers tracing lightly over his shoulder once more. āYou donāt have to thank me,ā you whispered. āIām just glad youāre letting me take care of you.ā
Shigarakiās eyes fluttered open, and for the first time in a while, you saw something in them you hadnāt before: warmth, perhaps even a little relief. There was something about this moment that felt differentāa shift that, despite everything, made you believe he was finally starting to let go.
"You're welcome," he said again, though this time his voice was a little steadier.
You leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to his temple, letting the silence settle between you both. It wasnāt just about the physical careāit was about the bond you were building, the trust, the understanding. And you both knew it was something that would only grow deeper with time.
Once you finished, you shifted so you were lying beside him, your body settling into the bed next to his. The room felt peaceful, the air thick with a quiet connection neither of you had fully acknowledged before.
For the first time, Shigaraki didnāt pull away from you. His red eyes, usually cold and filled with that ever-present bitterness, softened as they focused on you. There was something in them nowāa flicker of tenderness that made your heart flutter.
You lay there for a moment, both of you just looking at each other, neither of you speaking. It was a strange kind of silence, but it felt comfortable, like the calm after a storm. His presence beside you was no longer a thing to fear. Instead, it felt like something safe, something familiar.
āThank you, Y/N,ā he said, his voice quiet, but sincere.
The words themselves were unexpected. They caught you off guard. Shigaraki was never one to be openly grateful for anything, especially not for something like this. But there it wasāhis acknowledgment, his rare moment of appreciation.
Your chest tightened, and before you could stop yourself, your eyes started to well up. It wasnāt out of sadness, but something much more bittersweetāa combination of relief, affection, and the overwhelming feeling that you had finally cracked through the hardened shell heād so carefully built around himself.
You didnāt know what came over you, but you couldnāt stop yourself from whispering his name. āTomura,ā you said, the sound of his name slipping from your lips, was soft, affectionate. You cupped his cheek gently, your thumb brushing over the scarred skin, feeling the subtle warmth of his skin against your touch.
āIām sorry,ā you said, your voice a little shakier than you intended. āYou donāt have to say it back, but... I really love you.ā
There was a long pause, a moment of silence where you held your breath, half afraid that you had said too much. That he would pull away, retreat into his usual, cold self. But to your surprise, his gaze never faltered, and for the first time, you saw him as something more than the ruthless leader of the League of Villains.
Tomuraās red eyes softened as he stared at you, and for once, his hands didnāt twitch with the usual restlessness. He leaned in slightly, his face inches away from yours. You could feel his breath, shaky and uneven, as if he too was battling with the emotions he was too used to locking away.
The words were hard for him, and you could see that. But in the end, he spoke them anyway.
āThe feeling... is mutual,ā he whispered, his voice quieter than before, but still heavy with sincerity. It was almost painful for him to admit, but he said it anyway. He leaned in closer, and without thinking, he pressed a soft kiss to your forehead.
That small gestureāso unlike himāwas enough to make your heart race. It was everything you needed to hear, everything you wanted. Even with the difficulty in his voice, it felt like a true confession. The weight of his words settled in your chest, filling you with a warmth that washed away any lingering uncertainty.
You couldnāt hold back any longer. A tear slipped down your cheek, though you quickly wiped it away, not wanting him to see how much his words meant to you. But he saw it anyway, his expression softening even more.
You rested your forehead against his, closing your eyes and savoring the quiet moment between you two. The world outside no longer seemed so daunting, not when you had him by your sideāvulnerable, honest, and, for the first time in a long time, fully present.
And for once, you allowed yourself to believe that despite everythingādespite his quirk, his past, his brokennessāthere was still hope. There was still love.

Tomura: *Wearing his compression shirt* What in the world are you so googly eyed for?
Junko: ėė ė¹ģ ģ ź°ģ“ģ ģģķź³ ģģµėė¤
Tomura: You better be lucky I donāt even know a single word of Korean but I love you anyways.
OPEN RP FOR HERO SHIGARAKI X HERO OC!!
Wanna do a hero au for shiggy and Junko. I like playing around with alternate endings. Like what if Junko was a hero and shiggy was a villain. What if they were both heroes?? Etc etc.
If they were both heroes Iād definitely see Junko express herself using visual kei styles in a healthy way.
Iād like to see her gain that healthy weight she so desperately wanted.
I see her getting into a band.
But no I gotta stick with the angst
And that alt ending where Junko finally meets fucking mana sama and has a similar costume thatās inspired by him.
Junkoās mother language is Korean.
She knows enough Japanese to get her by. She knows enough Japanese to know what to do in missions n stuff of the sort.
Her main issue is casual conversations and slang.
Cause when she hears toga and twice talking she often just stands there like
Junko, probably:
For all my Shigaraki x Junko fans please flood her with asks I am so insanely bored
I like to think that Junko likes to dress up Shigarakiās dogs in little outfits. She was originally a cat person and surprisingly never seen a corgi before in person.
Literally Iām picturing her going like this when Mon-Chan prances up to her in a princess outfit
HC that Junko and Shiggy couldn't get an official marriage ceremony so they get 'married' on animal crossing.
I'm debating whether I should even continue writing this. But I have an AU where Shigaraki doesn't get fucking merced. But essentially, the League is a bunch of rebel delinquents.
So in the AU, around the time that Bakugou gets captured, Shigaraki gets introduced to Dabi's friend, her name is Junko. Junko comes from Korea but her Japanese is very very very limited.
She joins the League and starts to get along with Shigaraki and eventually they fall in love. I have a fan child for them and everything I WANNA INFODUMP MORE BUT I GOTTA GET STARTED ON SOME CLASSESSHOFSDJLS.
Here is a doc on her character and backstory and everything
Heavy topics are in this backstory btw for drugs, torture, and as well as eating disorders.
I wanna write more and more about Junko and Shiggy's relationship because they have been nonstop on my mind for a very long long time. I lovb them both so fuckisddnfkjndf MUCH AAADFSJSHSKJ.
This is my way of coping that Shigaraki is fucking dead
shigaraki loves the way your throat clenches aroun his dick , you just look so fucking good that he cannot resist
shigaraki sees that you have been a good girl he decides to reward you
had a fight with dabi he need to take all his anger and energy out on you
shigaraki finally thinks of cumming inside of you , but when you cant keep it he spanks you hard
that night he was so close yet so fucking rough ugh
touchstarved!shigaraki who loves to be close to you while he fucks you
