It Started With A Bullet - Dabi x OC (Multiships)

Shigaraki's Route - Chapter 3

She has no drive anymore for wanting to make a change. If Dabi wouldn't listen to her, no one else would.

This life was so meaningless.

(Fuji was right about me.) She thought about her dad.

Things won't go well with anyone around Satoko as long as she's involved.

Taking her own life is the answer. She had enough heartache. She was tired.

There was a thin curtain in the room. She made shift it into a rope to go around her neck. She made sure it was tightly wrapped on the bar on the ceiling.

What a way for her to go is to being choked to death. She wanted to suffer to feel something other than this mourning.

(I should have done this ages ago.) She shut her eyes from preparing herself. (I'm coming, Toya.)

"Satoko!" A voice called out from the doorway. Shigaraki was standing there with an apparent fear in his eyes. "What are you doing?!"

Satoko blocked out any sound. She made her way to step off the level to start her death. There wasn't any point. She didn't want to be stopped and to just off herself.

"If you die, I will too." He took a few slow steps in her direction. "You aren't alone anymore. I'm going with you wherever you go. Even to death."

He hated to admit it, but Satoko mattered more to him than anything else at that point. She was in pain; being torn apart by her emotions. He didn't want to lose her. If he did then nothing else would matter anymore to him.

"Don't waste your time on me. Go away." She heaved. The pain in her chest was horrible. There wasn't any turning back, she moved off of the thing holding her up.

Shigaraki ran as fast as he could to reach her. He was able to wrap his arms around her waist to provide some support so that she could breathe.

He struggled to stay standing due to the way he caught her. (I'm holding her and my quirk isn't hurting her!) The realization gave him some hope. He struggled to reach his arm up towards the curtain rope around her neck. He grabbed it with all five fingers, causing it to decay.

There was a hard coughing sensation Satoko had. They both landed onto the ground with each other. She looked at Shigaraki with a sorrowful anger upon her complexion. She was upset she was stopped.

"I was finally able to convince myself to do this! You had to get in the way!" Her tears spilled that it hit the ground and unto his hand. She kept going, not letting him speak. "I wish I never met Toya! I wish I never-!"

Her hand aggressively ripped part of her shirt to expose her shoulder's scar. "Do you see this?! I don't want to live with this reminder of this scar! I took a bullet for him and yet I couldn't even save him!"

"Some people don't want to be saved. If they won't see reason then it's not our faults when they wind up dead." He averted his eyes.

"I didn't want to be saved either." She hung her head low. "Yet you did it just now. You could have let me be."

Shigaraki managed a small smile. "I told you that I'm going to stay by your side. I don't want you to be alone anymore."

Her head bobbed a bit while she sobbed. The top of it lightly brushed against his chest. She was so close to him. She didn't even realize that.

It was complicated, she wanted to die, but was yearning for a sense of comfort. She felt so terrified to getting close to anyone ever again.

Shigaraki felt more comfortable touching her since he had already done it minutes earlier. He put a hand on the back of her head and gently played with her hair.
