A/N: This is technically Chapter 24, but due to a mistake of posting the 'Sense of Humor' oneshot (the actual Chapter 25), it was moved to Chapter 25 on this site. This story is the actual 24th story in the Ao3 repost.
Note that this story is actually on Nagisa's point-of-view, based on his feelings on Koro-sensei's death, so angst is expected.
And to those who send me prompts, I have already made them,but it seems that I get stuck in the middle of the story, and therefore left them to be picked up. Do you know that I had 10 oneshots waiting to be posted on here, although I was stuck on the middle of the writing them?
By the way, this is actually based on a dialogue prompt from tomiadeyemi!
A Dream or A Nightmare
Character: Shiota Nagisa
Every night, you visit me.
Sometimes in dreams…
…Sometimes in nightmares.
Sometimes, I dreamed of you being proud of me and what I have achieved in life. I am a teacher now, because of you. You made me feel that I have worth, that I have a bright future ahead of me. My classmates and I are now successful in our chosen careers, and we all give our thanks to you.
I dreamed of the happy memories we shared in that classroom we had called our second home. I remembered your porn and sweets addiction, your happy-go-lucky attitude and your smile. That smile that gave us hope and happiness every time we see and remember you. You even helped me with my family problems, in fact my mom and dad are now happily together because of your interference. They fight at times, but it was not worse like before. I had finished with flying colors in the school my mom wanted me to study. I had my own class now.
I am happy because of you.
But sometimes, you are always in my nightmares.
I was the one who killed you.
There are times that I have dreamed of you blaming me of what happened, that I never did anything to save you. That I had ruined the year we had shared throughout the years.
It haunts me, that I never did enough to save you, instead I killed you with my bare hands.
I stabbed you in the heart and saw you disappear.
My classmates always tells me it was not my fault. That you wanted this to happen.
But why, why do I feel like I was the reason why you are not here with us?
I have no choice! I don't want to, but we have no choice.
We can't save you.
We failed.
Every night, you visited me.
But one thing is certain.
I will always be waiting for you in my dreams with open arms.
No matter if you are a dream or a nightmare.
Prompt:
Every night, you visit me.
Sometimes in dreams…
… Sometimes in nightmares.
