An Unlikely Connection (Jirou x Midoriya)

Another Sleepless Night

Jirou's POV-

It was a pitch black night, with the moon being the only source of light in the sky at the moment. I was in the woods, walking down a familiar path without a care in the world. Hagakure was with me as we traversed the path together. It was a scene that I was familiar with, but In the back of my mind I knew something was wrong. There was an unspeakable feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach, and it only grew as the two of us continued down the dirt path. The dread I felt paid dividends as I could see a thick, ominous, purple smoke creeping towards us from the corner of my eye. Though no matter how badly I wanted to, I couldn't yell, I couldn't warn Hagakure, I couldn't even run away like I wanted to. I was trapped, walking at this slow pace and unable to do anything except watch as the purple smoke crept closer and closer to us.

Within a few moments the smoke had caught up to us and engulfed the two of us. I reached my hand out to try and grab Hagakure so we could escape. But she disappeared into the smoke, leaving me alone in this cloud of gas. I tried running, I tried to escape the gas and reach a place where I could breath again, but I was frozen in place, unable to move. It was getting harder and harder to breath with every passing second. The gas began suffocating me and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get away. I could only stand there, rooted in place as I slowly suffocated and my vision started going dark.

I willed and desperatly pleaded for my body to move, to do something, anything at all. But my body refused to move, forcing me to stand there, alone in the forest as the gas suffocated me. My vision grew darker and darker as my knees finally buckled and I collapsed onto the ground.

The next thing I knew I was sitting up in my bed, back in my dorm room. My eye's rapidly darted around the room as I desperately tried to breathe, my chest felt tight as my heart hammered away inside of it. I was shivering and shaking as I realized I was sweating.

I reached down and grabbed my covers and wrapped them around myself as I curled up on my bed and tried to calm myself down. It took a few minutes before I calmed down enough to take stock of my situation. I glanced over to the clock that was on my nightstand, and sighed as it read 1:45 Am.

I reached over to my phone and unplugged it from it's charger, before unlocking it and scrolling to the number of a particular green haired boy. "Well, now's a better time than any to see if he's up." I muttered to myself as I shakily typed off a message and sent it off to him, asking if he was awake right now.

It had been a few days since I found him playing his guitar in the forest after sneaking out in the middle of the night. Since I shared what I had been dealing with from the villian attack on the training camp.

It only took a few moments to get a response from him, letting me know that he was awake right now. I typed out another message and sent it off to him, telling him that I'd be coming over in a minute or two to talk to him.

I got up from my bed and stretched for a few moments, my hands shaking a lot less than when I first woke up, before grabbing my phone and walking out of my room. It didn't take me too long to get to the boys side of the dorm and find where Midoriya's room was.

I stood there in front of his door for a few moments, before finally reaching out and gently knocking on the door, my hand shaking slightly as I knocked. 'Alright, let's do this.' I told myself as I stood there and waited.

Midoriya's POV-

I was sitting on the edge of my bed as I waited for Jirou to get here. I didn't have to wait very long, as I finally heard a knock on the door only a couple of minutes later. I got up from my bed and quickly made my way over to the door and opened it. I came face to face with Jirou who was standing outside my door. I felt a small smile make its way onto my lips, as I noticed her wearing a Shinedown t-shirt, while her hair was a mess, as it stuck out in various directions.
