--☆ He pretended to hate you. How else could he, a malevolent monster, confess to having feelings for you, a sweet and empathetic soul? That was too risky. "I would just be hurting myself," he thought. He truly fell in love with you when he saw you treat people like Toga, Dabi, and Twice with such care and delicate kindness.. Shigaraki walked into your room after you disappeared for a while, curious about what you were up to. He poked his head in your doorway only to see you drawing in your notebook, lying on the floor while your feet swayed childishly. He.. didn't know what it was, but he started tearing up. He saw the innocence, the clueless, the child in you.. and he wanted to protect it. He wished he could. But you didn't love him. You couldn't. And he cried harder.. He admired you greatly, even if he would never admit it to you. And despite the tears in his eyes, he smiled a little. He felt like he was falling for you all over again..

Shigaraki:" I love you.." he whispered almost silently, knowing you wouldn't hear it..
