Siren alarms filled the crowded street
People running away to save their so called lives
Others stopping to save
Others to document such scene
Pink particles that can be mistaken for some colorful dust filled the air, beautiful brown hair held up in two separate buns, honeyed eyes glimmering stubbornly and sternly
The woman stopped, immediately looking around for any more troubling villains, letting the sigh leave her lips as she went back to the floating criminal, restrained and struggling with the sudden change in the gravitational force that supported him in his daily life on earth
"Please refrain from doing anything as such would only lead for more punishments for you"
The hero scolded, using her quirk to keep an unmoving hold on the villain, turning around and lifting the broken and cracked wall, searching for anyone who unfortunately fallen victim to the mess and is stuck under it, offering a helping hand when finding a trembling cat, cradling the furry pet close to her chest and patting away the dust
"—No need to worry about me ma'me.."
Ochako turned, her eyes immediately landing on the blonde woman, half of her face mimicking someone's else that she doesn't recognize, noticing her hold on the injured and bleeding lady, her fingers quickly stitching up her deep lacerations
The bubbly woman quickly found herself behind the two, a hand resting on the medic's shoulder as the other smiled, melting away the frown on her face
"Found anyone else who needs immediate attention?"
"No, how's is she..?"
"Nasty wound, would definitely leave a scar alongside blood loss, nothing too serious but also not light"
"I see, ma'me was there anyone with you?"
"..n-no"
The injured woman replied, mentally checked out making the two sigh, the gravity manipulator patting her cu— professional? Professional partner's back, leaving to hand over the villain, leaving her to continue her job as more back up came, carrying her patient to the ambulance
"This should be enough blood to keep you stable for the whole trip to the hospital, keep a close eye on her vitals just Incase—"
....
The woman stood still, her stand as stern as ever and serious, her face as blank as a sheet of paper, her silver like hair held back in a messy low bun, pushing back her glasses and opening —slightly scarred— mouth to speak out the truth of the situation.
"Another villain attack on the city, the said villain, a man in his thirty's destroyed the building and injured the civilians who were in close distance, luckily the pro-hero Uravity was quick to help—"
"Um miss, your wife is here.."
"As I was saying- wait what?! Veronica is here?"
The cameras rolled away, filming and shifting the attention form the reporter to the destruction, the police and the medics, documenting everything
Ochako sighed, rubbing her eyebrows in frustration, trying to ward off the headache
Her lips curling up in a frown, chest heaving with each breath of her's, flinching when she felt something cold pressed against her cheek
"I got us drinks?"
"... Thank you"
She replied, her voice as soft as a mother's lullaby, scooting to make space for the blonde girl
"..."
"..."
"Are you okay?"
"Just thinking, what if it was late back then.."
" 'late?'.."
She nodded, swirling the canned drink then opening it, sipping and sighing in relief as her once dry throat finally replenished
"What if it was late for us?"
"Technically. Late for *me*, because of the blood transfusion"
"..."
"But that's another silly thing, focus on what's in here darling. Now on what's now in the past.. plus; I wouldn't mind it"
The nurse replied, a faint blush coating her cheeks, tilting her head to look at her precious muse
That smile..
"You make death a pleasant experience that I wouldn't mind embracing if it meant doing you well"
Ochako's hands tightened around the soda can, her teeth capturing her lower lip as they dug into the flesh
She didn't like that thought—
But oh how she loved her—
Her honesty, And just her in general
Just toga himeko,
..
..
...
She let out a quiet groan, burying her face into the latter's shoulder, trying to hide away her blush
She swore her heart skipped a beat
"You really are the cutest in the whole world y'know"
She mumbled out, one hand letting go to find the gloved one, fingers intertwining
"With the brightest smile too?"
"One that rivals the sun"
They both broke into giggles, the sounds in perfect harmony. As if they were meant for each other
....
They were.
"..!"
"P-...pl....!"
"...Uravity!"
"H-huh..?"
"As I was saying— good job on defeating the villain, who knew what she could've done if...."
Who were they talking to?
Oh right to her
All she could hear is statics as she stared at the now clear ground, her eyes following as the people forcefully took her corpse out of her grasp
It's all her fault
How could she be this useless
She was supposed to be a hero not a murderer—
Not only is her blood on her hand, but she selfishly made it her's.
Flowing into her viens and all
..
'i—'
'thank you.. ochako-chan'
She woke up in matter of a second, tearing up and frantically checking her bedside, the moon highlighting each corner of the room, taking deep breaths and trying to calm down
It's just a dream.
A nightmare.
Right—?
!
She flinched as she felt fangs dig into her wrists, suckling and licking her blood
Staring down at the unconscious girl, sleeping peacefully as she unintentional let her body succumb to her habits again
She didn't mind
If experiencing pain is what makes her human
If enduring it meant she's alive
Then she'll gladly take it
Even if she was the one that inflicted it
It does sound pleasant
