18. Superpowers AU

30 day nagirin challenge

so this was kinda prompted by a talk i had with @moeblobmegane, about me being a grim reaper, lmao, and i was kinda doubting if to post this yesterday, but found that it could fit here too! (i think). i’ll probably make another au slowburn of this.

He had first noticed when he was five.

There was a small butterflly on a tree branch, trapped and trying so desperatly to fly he just felt pity for it.

He had approached the little insect and set it free. But their wing was damaged, so he knew it wasn’t very likely it would be able to fly again. So he just caressed it and hushed, saying it was alright, that next time, it would surely bloom into something prettier.

He didn’t say anything when the butterfly went limp. He just set it aside on a flower, where the ants wouldn’t eat it.

One time, on a family vacation, he had been in the beach at twilight. He had gone because he felt tlike swimming away from his family because only being in the shore was pretty boring.He panicked instantly when he started to drown.

He had felt the water entering into his lungs and he was pretty sure he was done for. Until he felt a hand grip his hair and pull him up. It had been pure coincidence his father had found him, because he thought the rest of his family was on the hotel room chilling.

He didn’t give much thought to the fact that he had escaped death by a really thin margin.

And after he almost drowned at a pool, his father decided he needed swimming lessons.

When he met Rin he had just known the kid lost someone really important.

And he absolutely didn’t stare up once in a while to stare at his father’s ghost looming over him, like a guardian angel.

Because he knew how sad he was over it, he had tried befriending Rin-chan.

Toraichi just smiled and told him to keep the secret.

He had known from the look of his eyes when Mako-chan’s golden fishes died.

Or when Haru-chan’s grandma passed away.

And he couldn’t tell them he was sorry about their losses until they personally spoke to him about it.

When Rin and Haruka had almost dived into an empty pool, he couldn’t feel relived enough that they hadn’t. He could rush death, not prevent it. And he would feel damned if he made two of his dear friends rush death. They were too young yet.

When Rei had so recklessly swam into the sea, in the middle of a thunder storm, he had been cursing under his breath the whole time. He could understand the feeling of not wanting to be left behind, but couldn’t Rei think that pulling a stunt like that was dangerous?

And so, when he managed to save him, he was trembling so much from shock he didn’t notice the small glow in his hands.

He had done it. He had helped someone else than him avoid death.

When he received notice of Rin being in the hospital, he had run so quickly he didn’t notice until he was at his bedside.

He was covered in bruises from head to toe, and was plugged into many machines and Nagisa wanted to cry at the sight of his boyfriend.

He had been told his brain activity was close to zero, and that if he didn’t start responding soon they would unplug him. He walked closer to his bed, trying his best not to hurt him.

And when his line started going flat, he panicked again, and the first thing that came to his mind was grabbing his hand and holding it tight, he couldn’t endure this.

“You can do it, Rin-chan!”

Surely the saving-lives thing could be done a second time, right? Right?

The nurses had already entered, and were trying to convince Nagisa that getting out was the safest of him.

None of them noticed the light going out from Nagisa’s hand and into Rin’s body, and when all of it had been drained, the beeping from the machine could be heard again. He breathed in relief and thanked whoever it was for letting him live.

He didn’t see anything of his powers ever again. And he was happy that way. Rin-chan was still alive and that’s all that had mattered.
