TW: Nightmares, intrusive thoughts

for the mirio birthday event

a/n: I wrote this months ago but idk, it's his birthday so i'll post it. I know angst isn't very birthday-esc but it's still one i liked writing

In the months following the loss of his quirk and mentor, Mirio Togata was struggling in every way one could. He couldn’t sleep; nightmares plagued his mind as he replayed the moment he watched the quirk slip from him and the life leave Sir. Nighteye’s body. The regrets of not saving Eri sooner constantly ran wild through his subconscious- because maybe if he would have just taken her that day with Deku he could still have a quirk and he could stop falling behind. . .

But honestly, what made him the most insecure was you. You deserved someone of great skill and talent, and Mirio was quirkless. He was quirkless and he couldn’t save anyone. You were going to pass him up one day. You would be better than him and leave him, right? You would just move on from him like he didn’t even matter, like his life wasn’t one that was precious enough for your life. . .

His body began to shake, his grip on your waist growing stronger and painful, drawing you from your sleep. He couldn’t hear your pleas to let go until you were smacking his arms. When he came to reality, he released you in a panic. He was horrified by his own subconscious actions, disgust painted on his face.

“Mirio, what’s going on? You clearly aren’t okay.”

He wasn’t. It had been two months since they rescued Eri and Mirio had barely slept. You were his partner before and you still were now. You swore up and down when he lost his quirk you would be there for him and that you loved him for more than his quirk, and he always assured you he was fine. But, you noticed the way he cried after he thought you were asleep and the way he wasn’t opening up like he used to. You could see the joy slipping from his face as he faked more smiles and cracked less jokes. He didn’t hardly eat anymore and his body was growing smaller.

“I’m fine, sunshine-”

“Mirio Toagata, look at me,” he avoided your eyes as you held his face. You tried to find his eyes. “What’s wrong? Please talk to me. I’m worried.”

And that’s what did it for him. He had made you worried. The thing he was trying so hard to avoid with his fake smiles and jokes- he didn’t want you to worry.

Tears began to brim in his eyes, slowly falling down his cheeks. He avoided your eyes, looking down at the bed you were both currently sharing. His cries grew harder and louder as he felt you move to hold him. It was funny, he thought, he was so much bigger than you but the way you held him while he cried almost made him feel like a little kid.

You tried to hush him while rubbing soothing circles on his back. “It’s okay baby. You can be sad, its okay.”

In reality, you knew it wasn’t really “okay.” You remember that day when you heard Nejire and Tamaki were released from the hospital, and you assumed Mirio would come back too. So you sat patiently in the common room with some of the class 1-A kids- but Mirio never came. Tamaki told you about Mirio losing his quirk and your heart crumbled. He may never get to be a hero, his biggest life goal. When Mirio did eventually get home, neither of you talked about it. He didn’t want to say it out loud and you didn’t want to make him upset- so you both avoided it altogether. But you could tell he wasn’t the same bundle of joy he was when you first met him. Things were different now, nothing was the same.

Between his cries, Mirio tried to speak. “I didn’t want you to worry. . . I- I just wanted everything to be fine.”

Your heart broke for him. Despite all that he had lost, he was still so worried about others. You moved his head to rest on your chest, letting him cry on you.

“Mirio, it’s okay to not be fine. You have been through so much, I can’t even begin to know how much you’re hurting right now-” You kissed the top of his head, moving your free hand to start playing with his hair, trying to soothe him. “But you can’t keep hiding this and holding it in. I promise that I won’t go anywhere, I’m here at your side to help you.”

“I can’t be a hero anymore, Y/N. I can’t save anyone- I can’t protect you. I’m useless now!” His words were broken between his sobs.

“My love, I didn’t fall in love with your quirk, I fell in love with you. I love the way you love others. I love the way you always see the best in life. I love the way you would do anything to see someone smile. Those things were what made me love you, not a quirk. And, you’re still a hero Mirio-” You looked at the picture on the bedside table. It was Eri smiling at the sports festival. “Because there is a little girl who still calls you Lemillion. You are her hero, Mirio.”

Mirio sat in silence for a few moments, his sobs growing quieter. You continued to play with his hair and rub little shapes on his back.

“I love you so much sunshine, I really don’t know what I would do without you.”

You smiled, pressing a long kiss to his head. “I love you to the sun and back, Mirio. I always will.”

Firefly

Mirio x Reader

SFW, GN! Reader

for the mirio birthday event

a/n: I think that fireflies/lightening bugs are a midwestern thing. So imma link an article and some pictures of them so you can see what im talking about. This is just another example of when I take something in my life i love and insert Mirio in.

Late summer nights meant cold tea and muggy air that slowly began to dissipate into a cool breeze. If the sky was right, you could see stars overhead as the world fell to sleep. And as the people began to turn off their lights, little fireflies would peek out from the ground, flying up into the sky, greeting the world with their tiny little lanterns of light.

You could fondly recall the evenings spent as a child running around the yard, chasing after the bugs. You would cup them in your hand, peaking between your fingers to watch their little light flicker before letting them go. Some nights you would even catch a few in a jar, watching them for a while before setting them free as you headed to bed.

As an adult, you didn’t chase after bugs anymore. Evenings now were spent inside, wasting time before you had to drag yourself to bed. Or, that was how things were before you met him.

Mirio Toagata lit up your world. He pushed you comfortably past your limit and always could see life through rose tinted glasses in the best way possible. He was the definition of a sunshine on earth; he would do anything and everything to pull a smile from your lips.

This time, his “bi-weekly guaranteed date night” was a star-gazing adventure. Did he know anything about stars? Not at all. But, did he know that he would do anything to snuggle up next to you for hours? Yes, yes he did.

Your head rested comfortably on his chest, his large and beefy biceps providing a resting spot for his head and your back. The two of you were comfortable in the cool air of summer. The conversation was light and casual during your evening together, like it always was. The two of you could always talk easily- something Mirio adored. But, the two of you had been sharing a moment of comfortable silence when a firefly blinked by, landing on Mirio’s nose briefly.

He looked down at it with crossed eyes, smiling wide. You looked up from your spot on his chest and laughed at him. It was really quite the sight. Someone as large as Mirio contrasted by something as small as a bug.

Mirio reached out a finger and tried to pick up the bug. However, his much larger fingers scared the poor thing off. Mirio’s once large smile turned to a pout at his fail. You couldn't help but giggle, which only embarrassed him further.

“C’mere, let me show you.” You stood, offering a hand to him. He gladly took it and stood up. You wandered into the middle of the grassy area you had both been laying in. Mirio watched as you cupped your hands, gently collecting a bug before closing them as if you were holding a precious treasure.

Mirio watched you in awe. In all honesty, he was more captivated by the way the faint remains of sunlight and shimmering moonlight caught your face as you stood amongst the field of fireflies, their glows illuminating you like a million fairy lights.

You opened a small gap in your fingers and showed Mirio your hands. “Look in there.”

Mirio peered into your hands, his smile widening at the sight of the little firefly. He pulled back and looked at you with excited eyes.

“Do you want me to show you how to catch them?”

“Yes please!”

You cupped Mirio’s hands with your own and lead him over to a few unaware fireflies. You caught one for yourself, demonstrating for Mirio. He tried to replicate your actions, but was too fast and aggressive, scaring off the bugs. He pouted again, looking at you for help.

“Baby, you have to be gentle. Here-” You took your hands in his to help him. You closed them around an unsuspecting firefly for him. With your hands still resting on his, you met his excited smile.

“We did it!”

You laughed, “Take a peek before we have to let him go-”

It goes without saying that as long as you had Mirio around, there was still some sense of childhood wanderlust and excitement in your life. And, to be honest, you wouldn’t have it any other way.
