[He is scared. He's been scared for a while- fear isn't a new concept to him, but Shigaraki's arrival only re-opened wounds that had yet to scar over.
He's scared of not being good enough, strong enough, skilled enough because now it won't just be another blow to his ego. The people he cares about could get hurt. They could die. Memories become warped in his dreams and he can't rest, he can barely think.
But Ochako's voice is sweet and gentle when this world isn't. Her face is warm against him, and he finds himself leaning in closer. He's so tired. He shuts his eyes, his breathing beginning to even out. Before he knows it, his grip relaxes and he drops the washcloth, not caring about it for now.
When had his feelings begun to change about her? When had he started to see her as more than his equal and classmate?]
