Emotional Spring 2025 Day 1 - My, oh my, you are such a beautiful creature
Welcome to 'Emotional Prompts Months', which brings you a fic every second day, all the way through April and May. The prompts were taken from here on Tumblr and the fic title is always the prompt. I hope you enjoy!
Shouta wakes up to a debilitating headache, a blindfold over his eyes and cuffs on his hands.
Wonderful, Shouta wryly thinks, trying to work past the pain in his head and so it takes him a moment to remember what happened. When he does, panic surges through him as he jerks upwards, which only makes the pounding behind his temple worse.
"Shinsou?" he asks into the darkness, because when he was taken he was with Shinsou on their way to the cat cafΓ© they frequent on Fridays after training.
Shouta strains his ears but there's no sound apart from his ragged breathing and either Shinsou is still unconscious or he's not here and Shouta damn well knows which version he'd prefer.
He tries to twist his wrists, but there's absolutely no give to the cuffs and he's almost impressed, because they almost don't cut into his wrists at all, despite how constricting they are.
The blindfold sits just as snug around his face and even trying to scrub it against his shoulder, the blindfold doesn't budge at all. Shouta lets out a harsh breath, worry for his student nagging at him more than the uncertainty of his own situation but he doesn't have to stew for long because there's the sound of a door opening before footsteps draw close.
Shouta tenses in anticipation because he's been in enough situations like this to know that the entrance of the villain of the day is usually accompanied by a kick to the side or a hit to the head.
Instead what happens is that a hand cups his cheek almost gently and then a man says "My, oh my. You are such a beautiful creature."
His voice is almost reverent and a shudder runs down Shouta's back.
He's never made fun of his students or civilians or even other heroes when they complained about inappropriate behaviour, he always took it serious because it clearly made them uncomfortable, but never before did he truly understand the feeling.
But now he gets it.
