I Wanna Sleep

We walked in comfortable silence to my house which was small in comparison to Shoto’s. But didn’t he didn’t know that because he had never visited my house before. While I only visited him once because his sister really wanted to meet me.

Unlike Shoto’s family… My family and I were in the middle class and they ran a hero support agency, building new gear to help heroes like Hawks and Miriko. You’d think they’d have a higher salary but unfortunately that wasn’t the case and so they work almost all day and night to earn money. Leaving me to care and fend for me and my siblings.

‘Honestly, they forgot they even have kids.’ I grumbled in my head. I sort of resented my parents a bit for that, work was always on their mind. And I didn’t blame them for that reason, I resented them because whenever they were home they didn’t seem to care for any of us.

No hello, goodnight, good morning, birthday greetings, or even congratulation on any special occasion. I could handle that, not my siblings though, I have 3 younger siblings, 2 boys and 1 sisters. All of them had unique talents and skills, all of which they wouldn’t have been able to achieve without my support. But still, I just supported them, they achieved it by themselves.

It hurts to see the disappointment and pain in my siblings' faces whenever our parents brush their talents and achievements off. And that’s why I chose to go to U.A. in the hero course. After I graduate I’ll be helping to pay and support whatever my siblings want.

That’s because my parents have to approve what kind of career we want to go into. And let’s just say, if my siblings wanted to have regular jobs like teachers, then my parents wouldn’t agree or pay for their college. And let's just say I didn’t want that for them. That’s why I need to earn lots of money and fast, for my siblings. And becoming a hero is the way to accomplish that goal, good thing that it’s my passion as well.

~~~

A sudden soft tune and vibration began coming out from my bag. I pulled out my phone, and looked at the dark screen with a picture of a young boy who had similar facial features to me. Seeing the caller ID, I didn’t hesitate to answer the call immediately.

“Hey, what’s up?” I asked, “Alright… Yes yes… Sure, not a problem… Anything else you need?… Alright then, love you too. I’ll be waiting for you back at the house and don’t take too long.”

“Who was that?” Shoto asked as his eyebrows furrowed in curiosity

“My younger brother, he said he’ll be coming home a bit late since his soccer practice is taking longer than expected. Also do you mind if we stop by a 7/11? He asked if I could buy him some onigiri.” I replied, putting my phone back into my bag.

“I don’t mind at all.” He replied in his usual monotone voice

“Thanks baby.” I gave him a kiss on the lips in surprise

“It’s no problem.” He smiled with a blush on his face, pulling me towards him by the waist.

And so we headed towards the direction of the nearest 7/11. Shoto had his arm wrapped around my waist in a very protective manner. Once we got to the 7/11, I began to go down the onigiri section, but I happened to pass by some instant soba noodles.

Knowing it was Shoto’s favorite food, I sneakily took it while he was looking at the slurpee machine in curiosity as if he hadn’t tried one once ever in his life, probably because of his father. After that I took some tuna mayo onigiri and other snacks that I knew my siblings would want and went up to the counter quickly before Shoto would offer to pay for it.

Mission successful! With a plastic bag in my hand, I waited for Shoto on one of the seats at the high table. Scrolling through my gallery, looking for pictures of my siblings. A sudden shadow towered over me, looking at my phone. Knowing who it was, I didn’t panic at all instead turning around to meet his gaze. I smiled and thanked him as he handed me a red colored slurpee, while in his other hand was a blue one.

”You never really mentioned anything about your siblings?” He questioned

I cooed adorably at that question, picturing my siblings in my mind, “Oh, you never asked plus, you don’t seem like you would hang out with kids unless you have to.”

“It’s not that I don’t like them.” He spoke bluntly

“Well then, not to worry. You’ll be meeting my siblings today.” I smiled at him, getting up and walking out of the store

“How about your parents?” Shoto trailed after me and headed off to my house.

I tensed up at his curiosity, “Well, I’ll see if they’re there. If so, I guess you could meet them.” Awkwardly sipping onto my slurpee while avoiding his gaze

He didn’t comment on my actions which I was very thankful for. We walked towards my home in an awkward silence after that, up until Shoto decided to break it. Asking if we could switch slurpees so that he could taste the flavor of mine.

I agreed to it and we switched up slurpees. Both of them tasted good, but I liked mine better. However unbeknownst to us, due to switching our slurpees. Our tongues that were supposedly red and blue, both turned violet. Something that would become very embarrassing later on.

~~~

We finally arrived at my house, it was a 2 story modern house. It looked really simple and cozy, Shoto noticed. Grabbing the keys out of my pocket and opening the door to my house, it was already around 5:30 PM. To my surprise both me and Shoto were greeted with a quiet house. We took off our shoes and headed towards the kitchen.

I was glad that my siblings weren’t causing any ruckus today but I was beginning to wonder where they were. We placed the plastic bag on the kitchen table and I stretched. Shoto had to go do a number 1, so he asked the direction of the bathroom. I told him the directions and waited for him on the living room couch.

“Hey guys, I’m home!” I yelled out, for the people upstairs to hear.

All Hell broke loose…

“Mom’s back home!!” Hikari my 6 year old sister came running down the stairs

“Hey wait up for me!” Hiroto my 8 year old brother tried to follow after her

“Don’t run down the stairs guys! You could trip and fall!” I yelled out, watching over them in concern.

My 2 siblings jumped into me and screamed out chants of ‘mom’s home’. I giggled along with them and had to pry myself off of them. Their hugs were like a vice grip, if I didn’t undergo any hero training I would have had a hard time pulling them off.

Directing them towards the counter, I pulled out their favorite snacks from the 7/11 plastic bag. Hiroto, the more introverted one out of all of us thanked me shyly with a hug while Hikari, the most extroverted among all of my siblings pulled me down to place a kiss on my cheek.

The door slammed open timingly to reveal my 12 year old brother with the exact same facial features as me except only more younger and boyish. At the same time, Shoto got out of the bathroom and entered the room who was still sipping on his blue slurpee. Only to meet Kaito who glared at him, while holding his soccer ball.

“Mom, who’s this?” He gritted his teeth, placing the soccer ball down to aim it at Shoto.

“Mom?” Shoto looked at you in wide eyes

“Kaito, stop that and I can explain everything to both of you.” I got up and ran towards them, standing in front of Shoto to shield him

“Kaito! Listen to what mom says!” Hiroto ran and tried to pull him away

“Kaito, stop being mean!” Hikari with tears in her eyes, cried comically

“Like Hell, I will! Who the Hell is this guy, with mom!” Kaito yelled, giving Shoto a full on death glare

Shoto was confused at your brother's actions, “I’m (N/n)’s boyfriend.” He spoke bluntly

“Mom’s boyfriend, like Hell will I allow that!” Kaito pushed off Hiroto and kicked the ball

All the while this was happening you yelled at him, “Kaito, that wasn’t nice! Apologize to Hiroto and c’mon please listen. He is my boyfriend and I love him very much! So please don’t kick the ball!”

I ran towards him to try to hold him back, while scolding him for pushing off Hiroto who luckily, landed on the couch with Hikari comforting him by hugging him from behind.

The soccer ball flew into the air with Kaito’s expert skills. Everyone’s eyes were glued onto the ball that was flying towards Shoto at lighting speed. I knew that I had no reason to worry for Shoto seeing as he’s very strong, but as his girlfriend and the person responsible for Kaito

I was worried for Shoto because I didn’t know what he’d think of me after this. Plus Kaito’s quirk was that he could control anything he touched for a period of time. This means that if you weren’t quick enough Shoto could very well get hit by the ball.

You activated your quirk, but Shoto was faster. He lifted his arm in front of him and aimed at the ball, which swerved to the left and with quick reflexes Shoto froze the ball completely, he bent down casually as though he hadn’t encased it in ice, he picked it up and began heating it up.

“HUH?!” Kaito yelled in shock, no one had been able to stop his soccer balls even with the use of their quirk except for me.

My siblings stared at Shoto for a minute in shock at what just happened until Hiroto recognized him, “Didn’t you place 2nd in the sports festival, just above mom who placed 3rd?”

“Yeah, yeah he is! He’s so cool with that fight with the green hair dude!” Hikari fangirled, running up to Shoto and hugging him by the leg.

“Ack- He’s the dude who literally obliterated his opponents…?” Kaito’s face became pale and he hid behind the couch

I sighed in irritation and walked towards him, “Kaito, that wasn’t nice. Apologize to Shoto then after Hiroto, now.” I said sternly

“Hah! Or else what?!” He replied in a shaky voice, trying to keep cool as he was a bit of a tsundere.

“Or else, I won’t give you your onigiri. And I’m not gonna tuck you in bed tonight.” He immediately stood up and walked in front of Shoto with an embarrassed and scared expression on his face.

“Mom, his face looks scary!” He whispered-yelled at me with a pleading face, asking for mercy.

“He’s not scary at all, Kai! He’s pretty handsome in fact, but pretty cold!” Hikari commented, while still clinging onto Shoto’s right leg

“Do it.” I replied back with a glare

“F-Fine… I-I” Taiko looked up to see Shoto staring at him a bit curious, “I’m sorry okay for trying to hit you with the soccer ball while using my quirk! But in my defense, you nor anyone will ever be good enough to be my mom/sister’s boyfriend!” He yelled, running behind the kitchen counter to shield himself from Shoto’s but mostly mine, gazes.

“That’s not what you're supposed to say!”

“Well what did you want me to say exactly?! Sorry for being an overprotective sibling and I approve of you dating-“ As Kaito went out of his hiding spot to storm towards you, he slipped and hit his head on the floor.

Shoto who stood in front of me trying to get me to calm down previously and tell me what my sibling did was okay and he was just being protective of me. I literally shoved him and ran to my sibling, placing his head on my lap and crying frantically. Looking over for any injuries or signs of concussion.

Shoto who stumbled back from me shoving him off, caught his balance and walked towards you. Activating his ice and inspecting the big bruise forming on my siblings head. There wasn’t any blood so that was good at least.

“An Angel…? No it's even better, mom?” He blinked, tears pouring down from his face from the pain.

“Yes! Are you alright?! Please stay awake, we need to make sure you don’t have any concussions! Shoto put your ice on him, please!” I cried frantically, not being able to keep my composure when it comes to my siblings.

“Did you and that guy?” He glared at Shoto though thankful for the icy cold hand on his bruise making it feel better, “Drink any slurpees, specifically red and blue?” He asked seriously

“Yes…? Why…?” My eyes widen in surprise and the tears stopped as well because of this

“I noticed them… And why are both your tongues violet?!”

Shoto stood silently with a blush while he watched me in slight amusement trying to explain why both our tongues were violet, “Huh?! It’s not what it looks like I swear! We just swapped-“

“Curse you peppermint candy! How dare you taint my mother! She’s still a virgin!”

“Kaito!” Me, Hikari, and Hiroto yelled in unison at him

“I’m glad.” Shoto added bluntly, making me dive my face into my hands in embarrassment

That was the first time Shoto had ever met my siblings and went to my house. After that, he began coming to my house more and more often. Finding himself liking it and feeling more comfortable there than in his own home.

2nd interaction: Todoroki Shoto meeting his s/o’s parents

Shoto was at my house again, this time he had already been here a few times before and met all of my family, except for my parents. Not until now.

Both my parents walked out of their office and walked past me and my siblings while Shoto was in the bathroom. They completely ignored us but in respect we greeted them politely. We were about to go out separate ways again had it not been for my siblings wanting their attention. It can’t be helped, children will always crave attention from their parents.

“Mother, look nee-san has a boyfriend and she brought him today.” Hikari said excitedly, trying to get a response from her biological mother

Notice how she said mother instead of mom. Hikari being the youngest one out of all of us, hasn’t really accepted that our parents don't really care for us. I mean we did try to hide it from her, shielding her from the harsh reality, but I think she’s starting to catch on.

“Is this true?” My mother gave me a questioning look

“Yes…” I looked away, trying to avoid everyone’s gazes

“Concentrate on becoming a hero and keeping the Family prestige, we’ve already begun to downgrade ever since the business wasn’t doing quite well with our competitors having more recent technology while ours has begun to downgrade. We simply don’t want you having any distractions which will lead to your downfall as well.” My father said sternly, looking at me intensely with tired eyes

“Who is this boy?” My mother questioned me crossing her arms in front of her chest

“I’m her boyfriend, it’s nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. (L/n).” Shoto suddenly stood besides me which startled everyone, he gave out his hand for my father to shake

My fathers eyes narrowed as he shook Shoto’s hands making my anxiety rise to the top, “(Y/n) never mentioned she had a boyfriend, how come we’re only hearing about this now? Also how’s your father doing with him being number 1 now, is he interested in some support gear?”

“Aren’t you, Todoroki Shoto? Son of Endeavor?” My mother pushed me aside to inspect Shoto

“Yes, miss.” Shoto replied, slightly uncomfortable at the mention of the number 1 hero.

“(Y/n), we approve of him.” My mother turned to look at me for a second then back to Shoto, “Does your father or his sidekicks need new gear? We’ll be giving out discounts since you're my daughter's boyfriend as long as you guys buy in bulk.”

“Mother, please. I think you’re making him uncomfortable.” I pleaded, trying to push my siblings out of the hallway and back into their rooms whilst trying to get Shoto out of the very uncomfortable situation.

“Nonsense, (Y/n). You should have introduced us to your boyfriend sooner.” My parents began giving Shoto more attention than me or my siblings had ever received in our entire life.

“We should have a formal dinner, getting to know each other. Todoroki, you should invite your family.” My father interjected

“We have a free schedule on this Thursday, there’s a new restaurant that opened near here. We should go there.” My parents began to overwhelm Shoto

‘Shit! What do I do?!’ I screamed watching my parents like hawks as they corner Shoto, who didn’t like the situation one bit but still held an unemotional expression. I could tell because of how his eyebrows were scrunched up and his eyes drifting towards mine, pleadingly.

“Mom, we got this.” Kaito, being the angel he was whispered to me

Relief overtook me as I ran and grabbed Shoto by the arm making a dash towards the front door, “Thanks, I owe you one.” I winked at them

Not a problem, Kai mouthed back. Walking towards his biological parents, ready to deal with their lecture and scolding. Internally I was super guilty and grateful to him, he always had my back and loyalty. All of my siblings do.

3rd interaction: Todoroki Shoto getting to know Hikari

“Nee~ Hikari, since your older sister is becoming a pro hero won’t that mean she’s going to leave you?” A girl who wore the same uniform as Hikari spoke out

“Mom becoming a pro hero is the coolest thing ever! But I know that she’ll ever leave me and my siblings, she just wouldn’t do that!” Hikara countered, not liking where the topic was going

“But Hikara, surely you know how busy pro heroes are and haven’t you heard your sister is aiming to rank in the top 10?” Another classmate of Hikara with blonde hair pushed Hikari a bit, trying to pull a reaction from her.

“Yeah, I know about it and I completely support her! But she’d never forget us! She’s our mommy!”

“Hey, how about this instead? To prove your sister isn’t gonna ever leave you, how about you and your sister come to my birthday party next week, this Saturday? She can also bring her classmates like Red Riot, Deku, and Froppy!” The blonde-haired kid shook Hikari harshly and cornered her into a nearby wall.

In fear Hikara began to stutter, voice breaking as her eyes began to gloss, “I-I don’t think that’s a g-good id-ea… I recall h-her saying how she’s g-gonna be really-… busy with her internship…!”

Turning on her quirk, the blonde kid got into a fighting position, “Look, I don’t care about that. Figure something out or else I’ll ruin your reputation and no one will want to be friends with you. I can assure you, you’ll be completely alone like a loser!”

“Stop it! You’re scaring me!” Hikara began to cry as she cowered into the corner wishing that her mom was there to comfort her.

“Look, she’s crying!”

“She’s going to go back crying to her sister!”

“Why’d you even call your sister mom again?!”

“That’s because her real mom doesn’t care for her!”

“You’re such a loser!”

“The only thing cool about you is your sister!”

“And you said you wanted to become a pro hero like your sister! Yet you can’t even defend yourself, how much more other people!”

The six girls began to circle Hikara like vultures about to pounce on their prey while they chanted words of insult towards Hikari. They activated their quirk and were about to use them when suddenly Shoto, who was heading towards the direction of your house, just happened to walk by what was happening.

He immediately recognized Hikara’s terrified voice and immediately intervened. Speaking sternly in a low and scary voice while glaring at the girls to get out, not before apologizing to Hikari. In response to Shoto’s scary face they jumped, apologizing to Hikari then running away from the scene.

“Stupid kids…” Shoto mumbled under his breath, “Are you alright? Do you have any injuries? Please stop crying. I've already dealt with your classmates.” Shoto grimaced, not really sure what to do about his girlfriend's crying sister.

“I was s-so scared!” The little girl ran into Shoto’s arms, hugging him in comfort

“Please calm down.” Kind of flustered at the situation, he awkwardly patted the girl on the head, hugging her back stiffly.

“T-Thank you, Todoroki…” Shoto’s heart warmed at that, your sister really was polite and adorable.

“No problem, if you ever need any help. I’m always here for your family.” He gave the girl a small smile as she began to finally calm down, “We should inform your sister about this as well, are you alright with that?”

“N-No… I don’t want mom to worry or have any more burdens…” Hikara tightened the hug

“You know you’re not a burden, especially towards your sister. I’m sure she’ll feel glad that you’re being open towards her.”

“Mom is taking care of us already, that’s more than enough. Please don’t tell her, I’m begging you.” She clutched onto his hand, giving him the best puppy eyes she could muster up.

“Alright, I respect your wishes. I won’t tell your sister but please try to be more open to her. What happened back there was really serious.” He sighed, slightly frustrated that he couldn’t tell you since it was about your sister whom he knew you cared greatly about

“It’s okay, it was my fault after all…”

Shoto doubted that, he couldn’t see everything that happened; he only got to the part where they ganged up on her, “How come?”

“They wanted me to bring mom and her friends to Misturi’s birthday next week. But I can’t because you guys have internships next week! So I told them about that and they didn’t like it! I’m sure I have no friends anymore and that I’m uninvited to her birthday!” The little girl huffed and began crying again

Shoto sighed at her explanation, “Listen, Hikari… None of it is your fault and based on what you just told me. None of them were your true friends to begin with. I guess they only like you because (Y/n) is becoming a hero. But that’s fine because not everyone is gonna like us or be nice to us. Some people use us for their own gain and that’s fine because we just have to distinguish those people and we’re also not alone. We have other people who’ll help us no matter what, the right person will come at the right time. And they won’t use us, they’ll stay by our side and those people are our real friends, and it doesn’t matter if those people are our family or outside of our family as regardless they’re our real friends and you can even consider them as your own family. Do you get me?” He hugged the little girl who reminded him so much of you as he gave a speech

“Hmm, I see… Thank you…” The girl hummed in response to Shoto’s little speech, “Can we still not tell my mommy about this though? She’s already stressed out as much as it is and I just want to forget about this. Can you p-promise me?” She sniffled as she held out her pink for him to take.

“… I promise.” Shoto didn’t like keeping secrets from you but she respected your sister's wish and so he’ll uphold it, “Hop on my back, I’m sure you’re tired so I’ll carry you home while you sleep.”

“Alright, thanks.” It didn’t took long before the child fell asleep on him

Walking back home, Shoto was slightly amused and worried about how frantic and panicked you looked when you realized your little sister hadn't returned home until you saw her fast asleep on Shoto’s back. The relief that flooded your eyes when you saw that she was safe and sound. Tears almost poured out even, you helped Shoto settle her onto her bed, to continue letting her sleep in peace.

“Thank you Shoto, I thought something had happened to her!” I cried into his arms the moment we stepped out of Hikari’s room, “I don’t know what I would’ve done!”

“Shh… It’s alright, nothing gonna happen while I’m here. I’m always here to help out and watch out for you and your siblings.”

“Thank you again, it really means a lot...”

“It’s no problem, I love you.” He kissed me

“I love you too.” I pulled him into the kiss even harder

4th interaction: Todoroki Shoto getting to know Hiroto

When Shoto had failed his provisional license and was forced to retake it along with Bakugo and the other students. Camie, the blonde girl from their competing school wouldn’t stop blabbering flirts left and right, specifically targeting Shoto.

Shoto being the dense bitch he is, never noticed a single thing. However, a certain Hiroto who was part of the class that Todoroki and the others were assigned to, noticed. And he was livid about how Todoroki didn’t really turn her down, but sometimes indulged in her questions.

Unbeknownst to Todoroki and the others that Hiroto was a part of this class, they continued to go on about their lives. Hiroto who usually never joined in on the class antics, because of how he was so introverted around his classmates. But his whole quiet nice guy personality did a full turn.

When it came to his mom, he’d do anything for her! And what Camie did, flirting with his mom’s boyfriend took things to a whole new level of personal. He was going to make her life a living Hell. Hiroto decided to keep his identity a secret in order to observe how Todoroki would handle the situation.

When Hiroto saw that Todoroki never really did anything, well you could say he wasn’t only pissed at Camie. He was going to do his best so that hero Shoto would not be able to receive his hero license and of course this revenge plan wouldn’t be complete if he didn’t include Camie. He had another devious plan for her…

“Hey, Todoroki! What’s your number?” Camie asked Todoroki right in front of the class they were supposed to correct their behavior.

“Why would you need it?” Shoto questioned in confusion

“Tsk!” Bakugo interrupted, immediately spotting Hiroto in the crowd of students but decided not to say anything.

It was easy enough for literally anyone to figure out that Hiroto was your sibling from looks alone since you looked exactly like him, just in the opposite gender. Hiroto was giving Shoto the death glare from all the way in the back of the class.

It was like bloodlust was pouring out of him, Hell even some of his classmates and including his teacher steered away from him. In fear of becoming the receiving end of his soon coming outrage.

‘Tsk, icy-hot good luck dealing with your girlfriend's brother, I respect the kid thought since the first time I met him. He’s definitely out for your blood.’ Bakugo thought proudly, looking at Hiroto with a smug smirk whilst the little boy continued to throw deadly death glares at the dual-haired boy. ‘Oh, this is gonna be so much fun.’

Time skip

Hiroto's quirk was the ability to control earth elements, mostly the ground but it would expand the more he develops. A very powerful quirk which he has yet to be able to control, he however was able to practice it a bit whenever you were home and not busy.

Those times were his favorite times with you since none of his other siblings would get to hog you to themselves since you’d be so busy tending to him.

So while Todoroki who was somehow dense enough not to notice the death glares being thrown at him from Hiroto. The usually behaved child (More behaved than the rest of his class) began to conspire and strategize with their class leader ways to make sure the heroes will bend to them.

Starting of with the chaos from the class, they began to use their quirks. And bully Shoto about being Five Wennies, a nickname Hiroto will definitely tell Kaito about so that they can bully him afterwards as well. Within the chaos Hiroto continued to hide and blend in with his classmates as to not be discovered. And he also made an agreement with his friends to do their best to make Camie fail.

When one of female children with brown hair tied in a ponytail started to have a crush on Five Wennies that’s when Hiroto turned his back on her. And they began fighting over who gets to date Five Winnies, her or his sister. Even though Hiroto was mad at Todoroki, he couldn’t help but feel inclined to defend him for his sister. The fight was a childish feud, had it not been for the fact they were both using quirks which could lead to someone getting seriously injured.

The teachers informed Shoto to take care of it, knowing the relationship of the kid and his girlfriend. Everything went ballistic between the two children so Shoto had to use his quirk to dissipate the fight and tension. Dark gray smoke covered the area and Shoto was still yet to discover that the one causing so much trouble was Hiroto. Multiple coughs rang through the air along with some groans and moans when the smoke finally dissipated everyone stared intently and anxiously about what was gonna happen next.

“Hiroto what are you doing?” Shoto asked in pure confusion at the boy

“Getting revenge!!” He yelled, quickly standing up and running at him

A large boulder hurled at Shoto, but having more experience in fighting than the child. It didn’t take much of his energy to stop it in its tracks with his ice. The dual haired boy was shocked and confused to say the least. Out of all your siblings, he expected Kaito to do something like this.

Hiroto ran around the iceberg and was exhausted at this point. There wasn’t much he could do before he’d pass out and Shoto knew it. The little boy had overused his quirk and this was the result of it. So quickly Shoto ran up to the boy as well, meeting him in the middle just in time before he fell to the ground.

He caught him in his arms and looked at him in worry, his eyes were barely open and a fever was forming. He knelt to the ground while still carrying the boy to make it easier for him. Hiroto was still fuming with hatred for the dual haired boy but was barely awake at this point. In his frustration, he did the only logical thing a kid would do. He cried, in fact threw a tantrum.

“How dare you!” The boy cried, punching Shoto weakly in the chest

“Hiroto calm down. You’re forming a fever and way too exhausted from overusing your quirk. Go to sleep.” Shoto spoke calmly but panicked on the inside

“No! You’re cheating on my sister! I hate you!” He barely croaked out with a shaky voice.

And with that Hiroto had finally succumbed to his fatigue. Slight tears formed at the corners of Shotos eyes at those words. He didn’t know why Hiroto thought he was cheating on (Y/n)! But it hurts like Hell to ever think of hurting (Y/n)! And the look on Hiroto’s face when he stared at Todoroki was one filled with resentment, a look that reminded Shoto the one he gives his father everyday. Never ever, would he think of physically or emotionally abusing anyone! Especially (Y/n), his own girlfriend! He’d rather die instead of becoming his father!

And so Shoto froze at that, his heart shattering as he realized that despite not cheating he had hurt Hiroto immensely, by something he didn’t even know what he did. Shoto traced back to his mind the memories of what he did within this day, had he forgotten to say I love you to you before he left? Had he accidentally insulted you with his blunt comments? What?! Just what was it?!

Unbeknownst to Shoto, Bakugo knew what the fuck was going on from the beginning as he knew what social clues were. And he was absolutely livid to think that one of his friends from the Bakusquad got kinda unintentionally cheated on, not really since there weren’t any intentions but it’s for the plot and I don’t know what else to do lol. And so Bakugo walked up to Shoto and punched him across the face. Luckily Shoto didn’t punch back or stumble as he still had Hiroto in his arm and instead glared at him, furious why he suddenly did that.

“Icy-hot, that bitch Camie flirted with you and you didn’t even realize that. You even engaged in it without realizing it, are you that fucking dense?!” Bakugo yelled

“Damn it. I didn’t…” Shoto replied honestly while placing his right hand on Hiroto’s forehead activating it and effectively bringing his ever growing fever down

“Then take the fucking hint and fix up your shit. I’m not going to help (Y/n) if she ever comes crying to me about this. You’re in deep shit.” The blonde boy growled

Time skip

Todoroki got his shit together and finished their retake successfully and avoided Camie at all cost this time like she was the plague but by this time she didn’t care as she had already scored his phone number and was in belief that she had a shot with him despite him already telling her he’s dating the most prettiest girl in the world. Apparently in her words and eyes which kept roaming around his body, making him extremely uncomfortable, that his little girlfriend didn’t need to know anything if only he kept his mouth sealed which he quickly shut down again.

Bakugo’s words of threat never left his mind, he knew that the boy was just looking out for you as you were a part of the Bakusquad and still his classmate as well. Shoto was anxious and scared shitless of what was going to happen next as he waited in the infirmary for your little brother to wake up, never leaving his side once. It didn’t take much longer before Hiroto finally awoke and saw Shoto sitting in a chair waiting for him with great anticipation. His right leg bouncing up and down in a fast rhythm to an unknown song.

“I don’t want you here, get out you cheater!” Hiroto yelled with a scratchy voice

“Listen, I can explain-“ Shoto began but was cut out

“I don’t want to hear any of your pathetic excuses! You knew how much we trusted you yet you cheated! You liar!”

“I won’t leave until you listen and you can’t make me leave.” Shoto replied calmly, his emotions more stable than earlier having already thought the situation through.

“Ack-!” The little boy groaned as he was unable to his his quirk now that he’s over used it, “Fine, I’m giving you 2 minutes tops. Don’t make me regret it.” He finished, growling slightly

“I didn’t grow up with the best figures in my life and because of that I lack the necessary social skills.”

“Yeah, and what about us? You see my parents caring about me and mom or even my siblings?” Hiroto was beginning to sound more and more like Kaito rather than himself

“I have a sister too, but unlike (Y/n), my sister Fuyumi wasn’t as successful as bringing our family together. It means I didn’t have a sister teaching me what’s right or wrong, I hadn’t realized that Camie was flirting with me and that I engaged with it. I only thought about it as her asking questions to be more knowledgeable about us. I was wrong and I realize that now. I should have told her that I was dating (Y/n). I’ve already talked about it to Camie and set her straight, although I haven’t talked about it to your sister.”

“Fine. You’re excused but this is the only time you get a get out of jail free card. And don’t think we’re immediately buddies now, you’ve got to earn my trust now that you’ve broken it.” The little boy growled at him

“I’ll be sure to do my best to earn it back.” Shoto replied with the most apologetic tone he could muster up, “And don’t worry I’ll be sure to tell your sister the truth.” He grimaced, worried about your reaction and if he had put your relationship in danger.

“You’re such a dumbass and asshole, Icy-hot. She’s sensitive about those, one word about it and she’s dumping you. I’m not even sure if you’ll be able to explain yourself.” Bakugo said as he strode in the room.

“Watch your language, Hiroto is still a child and I won’t tolerate you saying those in front of him.” Shoto growled at Bakugo, glaring at him and warning him not to do it again.

The said boy only scoffed in response, “Tch. Whatever.”

“It’s fine… But I also have to say that I agree with what Bakugo-san said, you see my sister is fearful about anything related to cheating.” Hiroto added, looking down in his lap worried for his mom.

“What do you mean?” Shoto questioned as far as he was concerned he was your first boyfriend and you never had much experience in the dating community.

“That bitch didn’t tell you as well, great just fucking great.” Bakugo rolled his eyes, “The only thing I know is that she had this thing with a guy but they were never able to get together as another girl came into the picture. Ever since that she’s been sensitive about that shit.” Bakugo huffed in annoyance.

“I see…” Shoto responded quietly, not really sure what to do with this information, “I don’t want to keep this from her but if what happened earlier hurts her then I’d rather keep it to myself.” Unconsciously Shoto gaslighted himself into believing it was fine to not tell his girlfriend he accidentally flirted with another girl.

“I’d rather keep my moms mental health standing strong.”

“Tch. Whatever.” Just as quickly as he entered, the blonde boy left the room promptly, silence following him.

“Hiroto, get some rest. I'm taking you back home in a while.” Shoto spoke, breaking the silence of the room and pushing the boy's shoulder back into the bed.

“Hey, uhh…” Hiroto began shyly earning a hum from the dual haired boy, “Treat my mom right, okay? We love her a lot and I’m giving you my trust on this”

“Of course, I never want to hurt your sister. I love her as well.” Shoto smiled gently, “Now sleep, you’re sister is worried about you.”

After that interaction, Shoto went out of the room for a bit to call his girlfriend to let her know that her brother was in the infirmary but is currently doing fine. He knew that you over worry about your siblings all the time even for the smallest of reasons, one of the things he loves about you.

But still in his heart, he’s guilty and feels absolute remorse about what happened. All he can think about is that it’s all his fault for being dense. Not being able to express his emotions well or tell what other people’s thoughts, emotions, and emotions are when it comes to love. In these times is where he truly renounces and feels hatred for his father and his doings. In these times he wished he never had a quirk to begin with, he’d rather be poor and quirkless than be born to a monster who disguises himself as a hero.

Ring…

Ring… Ring…

Ring… Ring… Ring…

With each ring Shoto’s anxiety and guilt rose up but being known for concealing his feelings and being unemotional it wasn’t hard at all to hide all of that guilt. Though it still ate him up, and it would be only a matter of time until he breaks or perhaps someone else does the break or better yet spilling some information on him to his beloved girlfriend.

“Hey Shoto! Are you done with your retest already? You should come over to my place. I'm making dinner and it’s cold soba, your favorite!” The girl cheered happily

“Hey, (Y/n)… Thanks, I'd like that a lot…” His heart cracked at the thought of you making him his favorite good for dinner, proving to him just how much you love him while he went behind your back.

“Is there anything wrong? You don’t really sound like yourself?” You questioned in worry, ready to do whatever it takes to help him feel better.

“At my retest… we were supposed to reform a class as the students were out of control but it turns out that class was Hiroto’s. He got in a fight with his classmate which resulted in him overusing his quirk and fainting.” He said almost breaking down from the guilt, in his mind the only thought that was running was that he was turning into his father for hurting someone he loved.

“WHAT!?! Why didn’t you inform me earlier! Is he alright! What exactly happened! Nevermind! I’m heading there instead, I’ll meet you in 5-10 minutes! By-“

He wiped a tear off his face and pulled himself together, clearing his throat he put an unemotional expression on with quite difficulty, “(Y/n), love.” Shoto said in his most calm and sincere voice hoping that it sounded as real as possible, it ultimately resulted in making you calm down as well and bring out your rational side, further pulling at Shotos heart how much he had an effect on you.

“Ack- Shoto…” I start to tear up, unable to understand why my brother had to go through that, “My brother he’s a good kid, he has never gotten into any fights before or-“ My emotions become overflowed and overwhelming that I just sobbed hysterically, “God! What kind of sister am I if I can’t keep an eye on my own siblings! I’m such a failure.”

At this point Shoto’s guilt had eaten him up so much that he was going to explain everything from Camie down to Hiroto arriving at the clinic. But in the back of his mind, he was reminded of Bakugo’s and Hiroto’s. Of how if he tried to tell you what happened, more specifically about him flirting with another woman no matter how unintentional it may have been, would result in his ass getting dumped. He in fact didn’t want his ass getting dumped so he did the most stupid thing he ever did in his life, and that was not listening to his gut instinct.

“Love, he’s alright and don’t worry you’re doing the best you can do and it’s more than enough. It isn't your fault at all, alright? I believe that your brother just got into some disagreement with his classmate about you. He just wanted to defend your name so once he gets home don’t lecture or get mad at him. Okay? And don’t worry I’ll be the one to bring him to you so just prepare dinner, we’ll be there on time.” Shoto said in his sweetest voice he could muster, bullet swears running down his face in anxiousness.

To Shoto, it felt like this was his most dangerous mission he’s ever taken and will ever take and that one wrong word would ruin it all.

“I-I… Alright, I’m just worried about him, you know? Thank you, baby. I’ll wait for you guys.” He could hear you wiping away your tears but your voice still continued to crack but despite that you pushed through and smiled gratefully at him through the phone.

Shoto smiled, thanking the heavens that he managed to not get his ass dumped today. But let’s just see how long he’ll keep this secret up, because as we all know the truth always comes out one way or another…

That night he brought Hiroto back home to you on his back, like what happened with Hikara. It gave him deja vu when he saw you fussing over Hiroto to make sure he wasn't harmed in any way, all the while profusely bowing down and thanking your boyfriend for taking care of your sibling.

Though his heart shattered at the thought of hurting you and not being able to apologize for it. For fear of losing you for the rest of his life. It scared him shitless. People came and left his life, but of all people he just couldn’t let you go. You're his first girlfriend, his first love! You’ve already left a mark in his life and no matter what he does it won’t ever change. He felt so selfish, he loathed the feeling. A part of him wanted you to choose someone better, someone who isn’t as dense as him, someone who didn’t have a lot of emotional baggage, someone who didn’t have a big ugly scar on their face…

But despite feeling all that self loathing, no matter what, he’d do anything to make you not leave him. He’d hate himself even more. His love for you was for eternity. It’s completely endless! So please! Don’t go and leave him and take his heart with you! He’s been through Hell and back through his entire life, so please just… Don’t leave…

In these moments, Shoto felt like he was exactly like his father. He hurt the ones he loved and didn’t apologize for it. His heart cried internally, but outside he kept a poker face, it was one of the things in life he was great at since a very young age. He learned to separate his inner turmoil with his emotions and with time he got so great at it.

Shoto after that began to gaslight himself into believing that what he did was right, and that he was just over thinking things, in truth he could bare the pain in his heart for hurting you, if he didn’t he would have rather stabbed his heart for daring to even hurt you, he was supposed to protect you. He promised that much to your siblings and to think he believed that he was a man of his words.

Look at him now… Turning back on those who he loves and loves him. God… He was his fathers son after all, perhaps he was just as arrogant as that tyrant, perhaps he abused those around him without even realizing it. It felt like all the progress he had made led him back to where he was at the sports festival right before finally Midoriya snapped him into reality with your help of course.

A hopeless boy, a boy filled with hatred, a boy who despite having everything at the touch of his fingertips was never truly happy… Shoto began to lie to himself that evening when he gave you a big and tight hug and pulled you into an unexpected but not unwelcome kiss, one that he poured all his passion into.

That night Shoto began to whisper sweet words into your ears nonstop and began to be more open of his love to you. It was weird of course, Shoto was never the open type to be so open about being affectionate. This was the first time he was really being affectionate, making you wonder what happened but you decided to keep your mouth shut wanting to enjoy the moment and attention since you guys did something that only you guys should know about as you both enjoyed a fiery passionate night. Something you’d regret in the future.

5th interaction: Todoroki Shoto getting to know Kaito

A few weeks after that night had passed and Shoto had already forgotten about the Camie incident but still he was trying his best to make it up to you, giving you surprise gifts and being more open and affectionate. Something you took gladly without hesitation, not questioning it’s his true intentions. Shoto walked into your house and was looking for you, for your date.

You told him you were home and to just let himself in through text, your last message being around 8-10 minutes ago. As Shoto began to search where you were in the house, it never occurred to him you could have been taking a shower and that you were that’s why when he knocked the door and no one responded, he immediately assumed you were there. Not being all to hear the running water from the shower.

He gave up and assumed that maybe you were talking and hanging out with your siblings in their rooms so he first went to Hikari’s, then Hiroto’s, and lastly Kaito. Kaito who was still going through puberty had a very high voice, somewhat similar to yours making him think that it was your whimper he heard coming from the room.

He knocked 3 times politely on the door, “W-Wait-!”

It was too late and Shoto had already opened the door. Kaito was on the floor in front of his bed in a arms wrapped around his knees in a cradling position, looking at a piece of crumpled paper resembling that of a card in dispiritedness.

“You’re not supposed to be here, get out…!” Kaito’s voice cracked, he was still crying, yelling out in frustration at Shoto.

“What’s wrong?” Shoto asked, disregarding Kaito’s initial words

“Get out…!” Kaito yelled and wanted to literally push Shoto out of his room himself but he didn’t have the energy to do that so he scoffed and rolled his eyes at his moms boyfriend, “… Tsk… Whatever just don’t tell anyone else what you saw, especially mommy.”

“Why not?” Shoto asked calmly

“Because they don’t deserve this!” Kaito burst out crying once again.

Shoto felt guilty for not leaving the room in the first place, disrespecting Kaito’s privacy but in the end Shoto recall you saying to him multiple times that your siblings meant the world to you and if anything bad were to happen to them, you wouldn’t know what to do.

And it seemed like something bad did happen so Shoto would need to rely on his hero instincts to get him through this mission seeing as his Emotional intelligence wasn’t as high as his intellectual intelligence.

Sitting down next to the boy Shoto asked paitently and calmly, “It’s alright, you can vent to me if you want and I promise I won’t tell your sis- your mom.”

Kaito groaned and sighed in defeat, “Fine, if you do I’ll make my mom hate you.” His threat was real and filled with malice

“I promise.” Shoto patted his back in comfort

“I-I… I’m going back…” Kaito swallowed his pride and a single year was shed, “A grade. I failed in a single subject so now I’m being held back… I-It’s just not fair! I studied! I r-really did! But I failed! I’m such a disappointment! A bad kid!” Kaito yelled out hysterically and wrapped his arms even tighter around his legs.

Shoto gulped and tried to remember what his mom did to him as a kid to comfort him whenever his dad hurt him with all those harsh training. He scooted even closer to Kaito and hugged him, Shoto was stiff of course but he was doing his best by saying that it’s alright and there wasn’t any need to cry over it and going a grade isn’t a big deal. And no one is disappointed in him, he did his best and that’s all that should matter.

After a while Kaito finally seemed to calm down and was actually appreciative of what his moms boyfriend did for him.

“I guess, you’re not so bad after all…” Kaito whispered to himself

6th interaction: Todoroki Shoto and his s/o breaking up and getting back together with the help of his s/o’s siblings

We were at the (L/n) household, Shoto was upstairs playing ang keeping all my siblings entertained while I was downstairs making us all snacks. It was late in the afternoon when I heard a phone vibrate in my pocket. Instinctively I grabbed it and unlocked it only to realize it wasn’t my phone, Shoto and I must’ve switched accidentally. I laughed slightly at the realization until I saw the notification that popped up. It was a text message and I knew it was wrong to invade Shotos privacy but before he didn’t mind me using his phone without his permission until recently which made me a bit suspicious.

Unknown: Hey Shoto! Are you still up for it? Your girlfriend doesn’t need to know after all🙈👀

Shoto: Sorry, your contact isn’t saved. Who is this?

Unknown: Silly boy! Good thing that you’re hot!!🥵 It’s Camie!! Remember the girl from the retake for the hero license?

My eyes widened in panic and fear as she I remembered exactly who she was.

Shoto: Of course, what is it that you want?

Camie: I was wondering if you’re still up to sneaking in my dorm tonight, my bed feels empty babe😭💔

Camie: *Sends a risky photo of herself*

Shoto: *Seen*

Shoto: Fuck you and your ugly ass!! I never want to see you ever again so get lost bitch!!! Be a home wrecker to someone else’s relationship and btw good luck when these photos get out😈

Camie: *Seen*

I dropped the phone on the counter and immediately started fuming, trying my best to stay calm as I immediately picked it up and screenshotted the conversation and sent it to my own phone through email so Shoto wouldn’t have noticed. It hurt so damn but I was angry too, so angry at Camie that at that moment I only wanted revenge. I thought that I didn’t have the heart to send out her photos but damn was it tempting right about now. But of course, I was a hero in training, I wouldn’t actually do it.

I calmed myself down and that’s when I remember that it takes two to tango. And I was livid at him right now but I also couldn’t bear the thought of losing him or hurting him, I loved him too much too. To dedicate yourself to someone only to find out that they were cheating on you behind your back with the same girl as all those years ago. And what’s even worse was to give yourself to that person, only then did tears begin to pool my eyes.

Old insecurities and bottled up feelings came pouring out of me and the next thing I knew was that I was sobbing quietly on my knees since my siblings were distracted watching a movie on the TV loudly. Only then is when Shoto came running down worriedly as if he had this instinct to know if I was in trouble. He headed towards me with my siblings following suit once they heard him come down and that’s when they saw me crying. Shoto was panicked and confused as to why I was like this and was about to hug me in comfort whenhis eyes landed on the phone on the counter and he realized that the inevitable finally happened, the truth got out.

“(Y/n), please believe me it’s not what it looks like!” Shoto begged

“Everyone except Shoto, I want you up right now and blasting music in your rooms. Understand?!” I yelled through tears and demanded for my siblings to head upstairs, embarrassed to have been caught by them when I was breaking down.

They complied immediately and ran back upstairs to their rooms and Shoto walked towards me carefully and hesitantly as if one wrong move would make me disappear.

“Shoto! Why?! How could you do this to me!!” I screamed through stutters as my voice cracked

This was the first fight we ever had and also the first time I ever yelled at him, “(Y/n) please let me explain! I’m begging you!! I can’t lose you!!” The usually calm and collected boy was gone in an instant, replaced by a desperate man

“I think everything has already been explained! Out!! I want you out of here!! And we’re over, I never want to see your face ever again!!” I yelled at him through tears

Before he could say anything but internally his heart and brain was screaming at his to do something. I grabbed his phone and pushed it onto his chest and grabbed my phone from him while dragging his ass outside and locking the door behind me.

“If you ever thought you could disrespect me like that! Think again Todoroki! So that’s why you’ve been acting strange these days!! Was that all I was too you? Some girl you could use as a body in your bed? Is this why you’ve been giving me so much attention recently? Cuz you can’t handle the guilt of fucking her!!! Am I a joke to you!! Did you really fuck her then me?! I bet you’re happy now and break to leave me now that you’ve had your fill!! Why couldn’t you keep it in your own pants!!” I yelled behind the door so quickly that he couldn’t interject and explain

“NO- love please don’t call me by my last name, it me Shoto.“ His voice boomed in desperation as his tears threatened to fall down his eyes, “(Y/n) you aren’t a joke to me and I highly respect you!! So please believe me when I say I didn’t cheat on you! You have to believe me! And you aren’t just someone I sleep with, you’re my girlfriend for crying out loud! I love you so much, I didn't use your body for anything, you have my word!”

“Love? You forfeit all right to my heart when you decide to cheat so how can I believe you? When the truth is staring right in front of me!? And wow Shoto you really know how to hurt me, of all people that’s the girl who you choose her! The girl who I was replaced with!” I sobbed even more at that

Shoto's heart felt like it was being stabbed and broken into a million shards of her words, “(Y/n)! God! Please listen to me, there is nothing that happened between us!!”

“Shoto do you even realize your actions doesn’t reflect your words? You slept with me only a few months ago right as the same time you started acting weirdly too affectionate, it adds up Todoroki!”

“(Y/n)! Please listen to my explanation and don’t open the door!! Just please! Nothing happened between me and her, it’s only you. It’s always only been you! I’m so stupid and I’m so sorry for everything!! This is all my fault!!”

“Oh! I made sure of that, good luck getting back with that homewrecker when all of this is over. You know, I hope you guys are soooo happy cuz whatever comes around goes around. I hope you know that Camie also sleeps with other guys on the weekends and that you’re just one of her playthings!! You know what I regret it all!!” I fell silent immediately though at his desperate choked scream

“No!!! Don’t say that, don’t say you regret it! Please I love you so much, that it hurts!! Please don’t regret anything, don’t regret loving me or giving yourself to me! I'm so so sorry!! (Y/N)!! Can’t you understand!!?? I love you and only you!! I never went to Camie or anything like that!! It’s still my fault though!! At the retest she kept flirting with me but- but I was so dense that I didn’t notice it and so when she asked for my number she gave it to me! After I realized what she was looking for I immediately shut it down but she wouldn’t listen and she wouldn’t take no for an answer even when I told her I had the best girlfriend in the world!! So please I’m really sorry (Y/n), I am begging you to believe me because I can’t live in a world without you in it!! My heart feels like it’s breaking into a million pieces just seeing you cry and even worst knowing that it’s my fault. I know I’m selfish!! But please. I don’t have anything else to look forward to in this life without you!! Before I met you life was dull and I was only trying to get through each day. I had never smiled or laughed so when I met you, you gave me happiness and unlocked a hidden part of myself that I didn’t know was buried!!” Shoto bawled his eyes out and served his raw and fragile heart to me as his emotions were borderline unstable, his emotions hugging high and wild

For some reason, my pride wouldn’t allow to see anything but red, “Run back to her then if you need some company!!” I was too angry to listen to reason, the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak overcoming anything else

“You’re so damn stubborn! But listen to me because you’re not hearing what I said! Becoming a hero is my dream no doubt and my goal but what’s the point if at the end of the day, all I’m fighting for is nothing. No laughter to return back home with, no delicious meals to look forward to, and even your siblings I love them all.” One could hear the desperation in his voice as he cried out

“Don’t bring my siblings into this… Why? Why then did you not tell me?” My voice was dry and weak from all the crying

“(Y/n)… We thought it was for the best that you didn’t know since you’re so sensitive to those kinds of topics. We just wanted to protect you…” He flinched

“We? Who the hell is we?”

“Me, Hiroto, and Bakugo…”

“You let a child decide? My brother especially? That seems like such a power dynamic. Thanks for informing me, I’ll get the real truth from him then. But aside from that, it wasn’t your decision to make! It wasn’t any of your decisions to make! I deserved to know the truth!! If that even is the truth!”

Shoto pounded on the door with his head, “It’s the truth! I swear to God it’s the truth so please (Y/n), just let me in! We can figure this out together, just- You need to trust me.” He was way too disheveled

I ignored him and from behind me all of my siblings who appeared of nowhere to hug me, “Guys… I’m so sorry you had to see me like this. Don’t worry, I’m strong.” Then I turned to Hiroto who was desperately clinging onto me, “Hiroto, please stay out of decisions like that. Understand?”

Tears welled up in the boys eyes, “Mom… I-I I’m so sorry! It’s not his fault it’s mine! I promise you, he’s telling the truth!! So please blame me, not him!!” The child wailed, tears finally broke down from his face as he kept pulling at me

“Hiroto. None of this is your fault, do you understand. Just please next time, let Todoroki deal with his own mistakes. He’s a big boy now.” I tried my best to calm him down, rubbing his back and whispering comforting words

“Mom.” Kaito spoke from behind me and rubbed my back as well in comfort, “Just get some closure and talk to him. Properly this time, no yelling just listen to his side of the story.”

“Kaito… It’s not that sim-“ I was cut off unfortunately by Hikari who jumped from behind me and hugged me tightly, crying her eyes out as well

“Talk to dad!!” She begged me to

“Dad?!” My eyes widened at the realization she called Shoto dad

My heart broke at their reactions and I knew that they were right but I didn’t want to let down my own pride but then again my siblings were the only people who could ever change my mind, I had to confront him one more time and actually resolve this issue but that didn’t make it any easier, “I-I… Fine… I’ll do it.” I got up and opened the door and walked out still hoping that he was still there waiting

I put a brave front and hardened myself and my emotions. I knew that despite Shoto being sorry for what he had done, my jealousy, insecurities and pride got the best of me and I couldn’t exactly control myself. On the steps connecting the house to the ground was where Shoto sat, who dove his face into the palms of his hands, still crying and broken over the breakup.

“Shoto. I’m out here to talk to you as per the request of my siblings so I suggest you don’t waste this opportunity.” I glared at him from behind with tears in my eyes

He turned around and before I could react he lunged at me with a hug and picked me up while stuttering out words of apologies, “I won’t d-do it again! I’m so s-o so s-sorry!! Please take me back! I swear I didn’t do anything with her, I was too dense to realize her asking for my number was her way of flirting with me! I never used yoh for your body or anything, I love you genuinely because you’re you!!” In front of me wasn’t future Pro Hero Shoto but just Shoto who was genuinely sorry for what he had done

My stone cold heart melted at his apology and the way he cried to me made me just want to hug him back and forgive him so I did just that, “I-I forgive you. I’m also at fault here for not telling you how sensitive I am to those topics and for also over reacting too much without actually listening to you.” I wailed in his arms as I finally hugged him back, “I was just so hurt and scared that you’ll run off to Camie cuz she also stole my ex-crush while he was trying to court me so I thought that she’d also be able to steal you from me. I didn’t want that but I instead pushed you away with my anger and everything went downhill!!” It felt good to release the truth, my shoulder felt light as well as my heart.

“I-I had no idea… it okay too, it honestly was my fault, I shouldn’t have even entertained her.” Shoto got on both of his knees and looked down in shame, “I’m so grateful that you’re taking me back but I feel like I didn’t apologize enough, I’ll do my best to make it up to you. I promise you that.”

I gave him and bittersweet smile and pulled him up, “It’s okay, I know you’re kinda dense, sorry. But yeah, you didn’t mean to do it. And I’m sure you were scared for my reaction about finding out about what happened and just wanted to protect me. Shoto, I forgive you so please stop blaming yourself.” I kissed him right after to which he immediately kissed back.

“I love you, you don’t even know how much but I love you with all my heart.” Shoto brushed my hair with his hands

“I love you too, to the moon and back” I kissed him once again

7th interaction: Todoroki Shoto realizing it’s time for a new beginning to start

On a peaceful Saturday morning, around 4 PM. The sky looked bright with barely any cloud covering up the sun, on days like these Shoto felt grateful for. With all the troubles he and his precious girlfriend went through over their years in U.A. they finally reached their end. Their final stage before becoming fully fledged heroes. And because of that, their school work had been piling up with no end.

You would’ve gotten it done easily the moment they were given but you were juggling and multitasking from focusing on your studies, hero training, and taking care of your siblings. So Shoto decided to just give you the break you deserve by hauling you over his shoulders and walking in the direction of his dorm room. All the while your siblings, who you snuck in the dorms following behind the both of you, giggling and making jokes about your dark eye bags which you responded by throwing a slipper in their direction but purposely missing. Shoto laid you on his futon and just ordered you to sleep much to your protest, but when your siblings jumped in as well and cuddled up to you to sleep, you decided that a couple hours of getting some sleep would be a really helpful recharge.

In the beginning of their relationship it was sweet and puppy love but throughout the passing time and harsh trials they were put in, especially with the third party incident back in their first year. It made his relationship with (Y/n) even stronger than before, making them try to understand each other and not just directly come to conclusions when a problem arises. It also made them more open to each other since, wanting nothing more than to never feel that sort of heartbreak ever again.

Shoto was forcefully dragged back far away from her and he was terrified. Not because of what you’re doing, killing the monsters left and right without hesitation. But because of what could happen to you, you’re his girl. He vowed to himself from the day he started liking you that no one would ever hurt you and now this shit is happening.

He won’t be able to defend you, and he fucking hates it. Yes, maybe you could protect yourself but that wasn't a guarantee that you wouldn't get hurt. He also had a feeling that of course, this had something to do with your past as well because if not then why were you so secretive and such.

As Shoto was super worried he did the only logical thing he could think of at the time and that was to punch and kick everyone who was holding him back from protecting you. However, getting out of Class 1-A's grip was easier said than done, especially considering that there are 6 people holding him back.

"What the fuck does Endeavor feed this little shit?!" Bakugo screamed out in anger as Shoto managed to punch him in the face.

"Todoroki-kun please consider that what we're doing is only the wishes of (Y/n)!" Midoriya tried to reason with him

“Get the Hell off me! That’s my girlfriend!” Midoriya almost received a black eye had he not dodged in time

“Why you little candy cane motherfucker!” Bakugo had received the punching blow that Deku was supposed to get.

Iida who was struggling to pin down Shoto’s right leg almost received a kick in the family jewels had he not jumped back, “Todoroki-san! (L/n) knows what she’s doing! So please trust her and us!”

Shoto took advantage of the fact that since Iida jumped back, his right leg was free and so he quickly kicked Kaminari who was holding down his other leg, resulting in Kaminari stumbling back. Bakugo and Midoriya, who were holding Shoto’s arms down, were struggling to keep the boy in control as he’s almost able to free himself.

Shoto twisted his body forcefully, making Kirishima, Sero, Midoriya, and Bakugo lose their grip on him. Shoto was able to free himself and the 6 boys who were holding him down began chasing him down after they quickly recovered from Shoto’s abuses.

“Fuck you, half and half bastard! Once I get my hands on you oh, you’re so dead! I’m gonna kill you, you little shit. Come back here!” Bakugo screeched, sprinting at full speed

“After them!” Iida grimaced as pulled him Kirishima from the ground

“Why can’t we have a normal camp for once!” Kaminari groaned running after them

“Kacchan! Don’t kill Todoroki, he’s just worried for (L/n)!” Midoriya followed after all of them

“God, what is with the camps going wrong for us?! They should really stop it! At least this time I’m a part of it!” Sero jumped up and ran, following behind the group.

Shoto paused in place in disbelief as the sight finally began to sink into his head as he saw you easily killing the creatures from left to right, in that moment he didn’t recognize you.

“Tsk. Now that the bitch finally revealed her true colors is when you start to question if you really know her?” Bakugo grabbed the back of Shoto's collar and pulled him back, “Damnit, Icyhot! Regardless of what she did! She’s doing it to protect us can’t you see, idiot?!”

Snapping out of it, Shoto realized what he had to do no matter what. And that was to protect you as your boyfriend.

(Y/n)’s P.O.V

I’ve always hated the metallic smell of blood, but more often than not, I’m the one causing that awful smell. It was ironic really. Right now, I’m also practically bathed in the disgusting smell and have splatters of blood all over my clothes that it was practically dripping. The only good thing about it is that it wasn’t mine. But that didn’t make it necessarily good, did it?

Bodies with holes in their heads caused by bullets littered the camp grounds. Blood seeping everywhere. In most cases they won’t get back up, but sometimes even I don’t understand, no matter how much you shoot them in the head they just won’t die. In that case scenario the best option is to burn the bodies or rip the entire head off, let’s just hope that it doesn’t come to that.

Principal Nezu walked up beside you, and stood there in silence for a moment. ‘He thinks I’m a monster, they all do.’ I thought in horror, my unemotional face that rivaled one of Shoto’s was practically unreadable. Despite that Principal Nezu was very much aware of how you were feeling, he could tell through your eyes. They were the windows to one’s soul. Your soul.

And it showed him the feeling of regret, despair, guilt, fear, sadness, and rage. Negative emotions just kept on swirling around your eyes. He only interacted with you a few times in your time at school but from what he gathered you seemed like the kind and polite type of girl, so it wasn't a wonder that you were dating the notorious cold hearted Todoroki Shoto, only you managed to melt his frozen heart.

However one thing he did notice about you was that you were never honest, Nezu was a genius of course he’d figure out you were hiding something. He just didn’t know what it was. Aside from that, you were his student at his school, his responsibility and so as the principal of U.A. he must take responsibility for you and your actions. And he could tell that you deeply regretted them. Putting a hand on your shoulder he squeezed it in comfort.

“Are you alright?” He asked

“Am I alright?” You replied in a whisper

“You did your best.” He took his hand off of you and stood next to you, calmly.

“I did? It doesn’t feel like it… I’ve killed people, my teachers, friends, and classmates… I don’t deserve forgiveness for taking away the lives of innocents.”

Walking in front of you, he gave you a bow in respect, “It was a sort of epidemic, wasn’t it. From what I understand, if the infected bites you, you turn into one of those inhumane creatures. So, because of that you risked your life to kill them and you did it to protect us, we completely understand. It isn’t your fault so don’t let those nasty thoughts get to you. And on behalf of everyone here. Thank you for risking your life to save us.”

Tears silently poured down your face, it was the first time someone thanked you for saving them. You felt good to be acknowledged for something, even if you’re sure you didn’t save them. But at the same time it didn't feel great at all, it didn’t diminish the fact that you killed people, the people you loved. The people who saved you from your Hell. It was tormenting.

Honestly it was strange, how could Principal Nezu bow you to and say thank you on behalf of everyone here for saving them, you didn’t save any of them. You just killed people, it’s the only thing you're good at doing. How come he wasn’t scared of you? How come he was so calm? Weren’t you a monster? Didn’t you kill his students? Don’t you deserve punishment?

I fell deeper and deeper into the darkest deep of my mind. As I began to count the countless mistakes and harm I’ve done to others. I truly was at my worse and I wasn’t sure if anyone could bring me out of it this time.

Flashback

“Project Advance, do you understand your mission?”

“Yes sir!” Shinsou better known as the Mind Breaker yelled out

“Yes sir!” Tamaki better known as the Suneater yelled out

“Yes sir!” Mirio better known as Lemillion

“Yes sir!” Nejire better known as Spiral Nemesis

“Yes sir!” Me who was better known as the Grimreaper or in other words, Death itself

“Project advance.” The red Queen began as she presented herself in hologram form, “As you’re well aware of the Racoon city incident, let me explain in full detail what you’ll be up against in your mission…”

The names Shinsou, Tamaki, Mirio, Nejire, and (Y/n) were long forgotten. It was our past, and it will stay in our past forever, it’s part of something we let go the moment the Umbrella Corporation took us in. Our names, were our identities and that’s why it was changed.

Flashback ends

“(Y/n)! (Y/n)! (Y/n)!” I only broke out of my trance when Shoto began shaking me harshly while screaming my name

‘That’s right, I’m not alone here. Shoto’s here and he won’t leave, he promised me that much. Even if he hates me for what I’ve done.’ I thought. Snapping out of the trance, he isn’t one to break his promise so until we can sort this out later. We’ll have to push these thoughts aside and move our bodies.

“(Y/n)! Let’s go! Before they shoot us too!” He dragged me along with him towards the main building

The sun was about to set and hundreds of Umbrella Corporation men began marching at us. Shooting down some people who refused to go with them. They kept on shooting relentlessly. ‘Damn, Shoto must love me so much or he goes all the way to keep his promises that even after I showed how much of a monster I am he is still trying to save me.’

Grabbing his hand, I looked at our surroundings as we ran. More like me dragging him along until he caught up with me, almost tripping at my sudden actions in the process. A stray bullet almost hit Shoto had it not been for my fast reflexes. Pulling him towards me, effectively dodging the bullet and landing into my chest. I decided not to comment or feel embarrassed, he didn’t either as it wasn’t the time and place to do that right now Whilst we were running, I looked for my friends and classmates amongst the crowds of people.

“You were supposed to be hiding in the main building, what the Hell happened?!” I pulled Shoto in the direction of the cabins, specifically my own, “Head for my cabin!” I yelled towards Uraraka and Mina hoping they’d listen

“No time to explain!” Shoto yelled back

I ran as fast to the cabins and opened the door, nobody was there except for me and Shoto. I pulled out my duffle bag and opened it, only to be met by the sight of tons of weapons. Guns, knives, steel batons, and grandes.

Shoto gasped in surprise at the sight, but he wasn’t going to question you any further. He was smart enough to know that you were on his side. And that these weapons will be the only insurance of his and everyone else’s survival. I pulled out an umbrella corporation combat uniform and a bullet proof vest.

“Wear this now, it used to belong to a friend of mine but it should fit you.”

He didn’t question my authority, everyone was dying outside so he needed to suit up as soon as possible to help with the situation. Plus he’d blend in easily with the other umbrella corporation men outside. We could use it to our advantage. I pulled out a suit of my own, a black bodysuit with buckles for support going all over it. (The one Alice wears in Retribution basically)

We didn’t even have time to turn around for each other's privacy as the situation was very severe now, less and less screams were heard. We of course were very embarrassed over the situation but we had to do what we needed to do, and so instead of blushing around like idiots we helped each other out in pulling up the zippers and stuff in order to be more efficient. Plus hiding a small pocket knife in my shoe just in case.

I handed Shoto a simple handgun with some ammo already in it, he knew what to do after I taught him how to use a gun so I didn’t need to instruct him on anything anymore. Instead I pulled out a bigger gun and better gun of my own.

“Let’s do this, shit.” I said out loud, passing the duffel bag to him and heading out the cabin.

We ran for our lives, not even stopping for a second to take a breath. The situation was dire. Right now the zombies were the last priority in my mind. Bullets kept on shooting at us without any mercy, it was relentless.

“Shoto! Get behind me!” I shoved him behind me and shot back at all the umbrella members in my way with Shoto also backing me up, “Shoto, start grabbing people and head to the main building! We’ll be safer there!” He nodded and did as I ask

I backed him up and helped as many people as I could. But there were so many bodies and piles of blood left behind, both from our school and our killers. One by one I did my best to cut down their numbers, left and right I would shoot them down in the head or heart with a perfect aim.

Then eventually of course, I ran out of ammo so I would need to reload quickly, leaving a blind spot for me and Shoto. One that almost cost Shoto’s life hadn’t it been for Bakugo tackling the enemy down. Relief filled me as we began to work together with Bakugo, who said that they had the same idea and they’re gathering everyone in the main building.

“Good, now let’s get the Hell out of here.” I yelled while once again pulling the trigger.

A/n:

Safe to say Mina got you drunk so she was the one to take care of you the whole night

You guys drank at a club btw, Momo’s cousin was the owner so you girls had a night out, while a few guys from your class came. And by few I mean Sero, Kirishima, and Kaminari

Someone had to distract Iida and lie about going somewhere else

Good thing Shoto wasn’t there or he’d freeze and burn the 5 guys who tried to flirt with you

Ok so you guys end up keeping the night a secret from everyone who was excluded from that night, which included Shoto😭

Well all of that was true up until tonight at the graduation party, when Kaminari was yelling for everyone to take advantage and drink while Iida and Aizawa were out

Bruh, Kaminari slung his arm around your shoulder and began recalling your birthday and how you drank at least 10 glasses of different cocktail drinks

Shoto was like 👁️👄👁️😐🫤😑😯

Asked you why didn’t you tell him, you said it was a secret from everyone who wasn’t included that night, Shoto was sad at first why you didn’t tell him but all of that was erased when you gave him a peck on the lips

SMOOCH- MWAH MWAH 😘

After that Mina and Kaminari were behind you and legit made you drink

This was done by Kaminari grabbing your arms from behind you, holding you back and making you tilt your head back

Mina from in front of you quickly with ninja moves poured the whiskey into your mouth, straight from the bottle

Shoto stood there in shock and not sure what to do

But he was sure about one thing

Kaminari wasn’t going to hold his girlfriend ever again

Legit shoved off Kaminari and took his place, giving him a harsh death glare when Kaminari pouted, like his quirk, this boi literally bolted off to hide behind Kirishima

Midoriya who watched the situation unfold was like 😨😰

Uraraka was like 🫢🫣

Bakugo cackling on the ground- Bish can’t even breathe anymore

Mina made you down the whole bottle, getting you fucking hammered

Next thing Shoto knew was that you were on him

Nuzzling into his neck while whispering compliments and love confessions to him

Fuckkkk—

He was turned on-

He was so smitten with you, he would do anything for you

And that’s how he ended up drinking, Mina passed you a very expensive whiskey bottle

Courtesy’s of Endeavours black credit card ofc-

You asked him with puppy eyes to drink with you, no questions asked. He just drank it.

Midoriya tried to get him to stop but Shoto just brushed him off

Bakugo was cheering for Shoto because he was also so drunk

Ok so you and Shoto being drunk together was chaotic. So fucking chaotic

Which made it so fun-

On the dance floor dancing to whatever song they were playing, didn’t matter what

Shoto can’t dance, we all know this. But lemme tell you this, this little shit. Was dancing like he was born for it, he freaking matched your energy

You guys took more drinks throughout the whole night but that’s fine

Class 2-B entered the dorm and brought more drinks! Yayyy!!

More drinks!!🥳🥳🥳

Mina suggested you guys play 7 minutes in heaven, good idea??

Hell NAH!! That’s cuz you landed on Monoma Neito from class B, Shoto legit picked you up and threw Monoma the middle finger, carrying you bridal style to the closet

So many hickeys were visible on you after that

Lots of moans and groans came from the closet- oops

Everyone was cheering from outside cuz they were all drunk, even the innocent ones like Midoriya😤

They recorded having to pull Shoto off of you, and drag you guys out of the closet-

Damn that vid could go viral yk and his dad would be pissed AF lmaoooo

You and Shoto ended up passing out together on the couch, with a blanket wrapped around you guys

Everyone else passed out on the floor-

Woke up around noon with a major headache, running towards the toilet and throwing up

Shoto was besides you in an instant and held your hair back, rubbing your back in comfort

His turn was next. He also puked like A LOT.

But yeah, that’s ok because you guys had a really fun night last night!

Bonus:

Aizawa walks in on the dorm with everyone passed out

Legit closes the door and walks away

Iida goes in and is pissed🤬

Everyone kicked him out for being loud- lolll

Their friends had to hold them back from tearing each other apart. ‘Poor Kirishima and Tetsutetsu.’ I laughed along with them, Shoto smiling beside me. Mina who was at my right began to joke about some stuff.

By the time we were done with the whole competition it was already nearing 5 PM. I continued to joke around with all the girls and some of the guys. At this moment I was so happy, but something happened. And then I realized, happiness doesn’t last forever. It’s only temporary, if you want it as well. You’re going to have to fight for it.

A creature popped out from the direction of the cabins, it was limping slowly towards us. It had the form of a human, but you could barely call it that anymore. Its shirt had rips and tears at the hems and blood scattered around it, most notably from his shirt and mouth. The smell of rotting corpse was prominent in the air, whilst groans and moans of pain sounded off from the creature.

The creature looked familiar to everyone, but then again they couldn’t be sure. It was too different from the Nakamura Haru that they knew, the smartest boy in their entire grade. But no one could deny the strikingly disheveled bright purple hair that looked almost exactly the same as his, that hair color was what made Nakamura stuck out like a sore thumb. But what made Nakamura Haru stick out to both Shoto and (Y/n) was the fact they could recall that he was the cashier that flirted with (Y/n), that was just recently as well.

The pupils of the creature were clouded over by some white mist, as though it was in a cataract. He was deathly pale and his blood red veins were prominently visible, especially in his eyes. His face looked like it was dead, cuts and bruises all over. The heavy smell of metallic broke through the air.

If you looked closely at him you could spot the red blood dripping from his mouth with bits of food all over as if that was the aftermath of him throwing up. Upon close inspection of his neck, you could spot the remains of a bloody gauze pad and pieces of medical tape on it, which was forcefully ripped off of him. Exposing the massive chunk of missing flesh on his neck, with dark bite marks surrounding the area.

It was patient zero or otherwise known as the first infected…

However I could tell he hasn’t turned yet officially, because his color of his pupils were still somewhat visible. Not fully white and because of the fact that he hasn’t lunged at someone yet in the intentions of eating them, he might be dead but his consciousness was still present. That is why I hadn’t made my move. Partially this was also because I was contemplating on letting go of this life that I built with everyone.

Regardless if there was an antidote for the virus right now with me. He’s gone too far for us to save him, the only thing we could do for him now was to put him out of his misery. To make sure he doesn’t harm anyone else, to make sure the virus doesn’t spread. Once the virus takes over, there won’t be anyone stopping him. Except for me or a gun… If he manages to bite someone as well, I’ll have to either find an antidote or kill them before they turn.

“Ah! What is that?!” Uraraka screamed when she set her eyes on the creature.

“Holy shit! It looks like it’s barely holding up!” A random guy from class-B yelled

“Someone get some help!” Mina shook me

“Oh God, I think I’m gonna be sick!”

“He looks dead!”

“He’s a fucking zombie!” They weren’t wrong

“We must assess the situation first!” Iida yelled and karate chop the air

“We must inform the teachers as soon as possible and bring him to recovery girl!” Kendo backed Iida up

“Shit. But it’s so soon…” I whispered frustratingly

“What’s so soon?” Shoto asked but I didn’t reply.

Panic ensued behind us as they glanced at the creature. Screams of fear and terror littered the air, causing them to grab the attention of the other classes, the teachers, and camp counselors. I needed to form a plan and fast! He’s going to turn full at any moment now!

‘I don’t have any weapons on me or anything to tie him down with as of right now, fuck! I let my guard down!’ I began looking around for anything. Then my eyes caught on Shoto’s belt. That’ll have to do for now I guess.

“Oh my God! Isn’t that Nakamura?!” A class-C student yelled

“Nakamura?! Are you alright?! We checked the cabins a while ago but you weren’t there!” A few people tried to go to Nakamura but ultimately failed.

Nemuri-san or better known as Midnight-sensei, pulled back the students who I assumed were Nakamura’s friends, directing them to head to the main building, “Students get back! We will assist, Nakamura!”

“It looks like he’s sick, so I’ll need you all to wear a face mask to ensure you don’t get sick as well.” Principal Nezu announced, still calm as ever despite his face contorting into that of worry, “Present Mic please lead all of these students into the main hall. Vlad, please get the umbrella corporation men.” Principal Nezu shooed the teachers to do the task he had given them.

As I looked around I saw it, his eyes fully turned white. ‘There’s no more time to think! Everything’s happening so fast! So just fucking move!’ I screamed at myself internally. In truth I was also scared to accept this reality and that’s why I couldn’t move or think fast enough. Midnight appeared from in front of us and unfortunately, I was too late. Nakamura or what once was him, screeched as he jumped at Midnight, latching onto her shoulder effectively pinning her down.

It was eating her flesh, tearing apart whatever it could sink its teeth into. The anticipation and fear before was still manageable before this but now a full on panic ensued and so Shoto pulled me with him towards safety. But I couldn’t do that, I had to handle this before the situation worsens than it already has. I stopped running with Shoto, the distance we covered from that scene wasn’t exactly far. We maybe only took 15 steps before I deliberately stopped.

The crowd of students around us were in a rush to get away as Present Mic, other teachers, and class representatives tried their best to lead and help the students towards the main building, where they would board up the doors and not get out until it was deemed safe.

Despite everyone’s best efforts to stay calm, in this situation it wasn’t an option. It was like kill or be killed, stampedes of people came. Unfortunately me and Shoto were caught in it and had almost been trampled, however we were pushed apart by the mere force of everyone. I tried to yell to everyone to keep calm, yelling out also the names of all my classmates and friends, searching for their response so that I could at least know that they were alive.

It was hard to tell anyone’s voices in the middle of the raging sea of terrified people as screams were all over the place that I couldn’t even hear my own voice over the other people. Despair and fear filled the air, and no matter how hard I silently pray for the umbrella corporation men to come and help us despite it destroying my pride. It was undeniable that if they were here the situation would improve no matter how incompetent or weak they may be.

Some people got trampled in the stampede, resulting in their deaths. It was disgusting how they were lying on the ground, footprints all over them yet nobody could help them. Others who were luckily not caught in the stampede had either been bitten by Nakamura, hiding, or puking.

I felt all hope was gone but I couldn’t give up just yet! What about all those smiles and the memories given to me this year! Will I let them fall down the drain?! No! ‘I promise! No matter what I’ll save everyone who I can! I promise to help you all, just as you all helped me before!’

I couldn’t stop this stampede, that’s for sure. But I could help lessen it. But I’d need to get my classmates out first. Quickly thinking up a plan I put it into action. Using the person in front of me, I grabbed their shoulders and used them as a base so I could launch myself.

I managed to launch myself far away and started to help the teachers direct the students to the main building, I did this by cutting off a large group of students and yelling at them to help everyone, and if they were to disagree I instilled fear in them. A death glare and bloodlust aura was enough to let them know not to mess with me.

And so despite their fear, they followed my order. Now the burden of the situation was lessened. I pulled out all the class 1 students I could find, being very grateful that they were all still alive. But I almost wept tears when I saw Shoto, he was well and breathing! He ran to me and pulled me in a tight hug. I hugged him back but I knew I had to handle the situation with Nakamura before it gets even worse. So despite not wanting to, I pulled back from Shoto and hardened my mind, completely focused on what I needed to do.

“Are you alright?! Do I need to carry you?!” Shoto yelled looking at my body to see if I had any injuries.

“Shoto, I need you-“ Before I could finish my hurried sentence, I was cut off by another scream, Nakamura had taken another victim.

“Later, okay! We need to get out of here first!” He yelled angrily, almost picking me up to run off to safety.

I wasted too much time, I need to help now. And so I dropped to my knees and quickly undid Shoto’s belt, to which he grabbed at my hands to get me to stop. But I simply refused, continuing to try to take his belt.

“(Y/n)! My love, if you want to, we’ll do it later! Right now is a bad time! I need to get you to safety!”

“Bullshit Shoto! Get your mind out of the gutter, I only need your belt!” He was shocked that I yelled at him, but he got it because of the severity of the situation.

“What do you even plan on doing?!” He screamed trying to get me to stop, but to his surprise I was strong enough to hold him back, as I finally grabbed his belt from him.

“Izuku! Take Shoto to safety!” I screamed as Midoriya did what I asked him to do.

Since I was the one who helped lessen the burden of the stampede, Midoriya fully trusted in me. Izuku got the hint that I knew what I was doing so he obliged in doing my request also truly not wanting to do it. Kirishima had to come including Iida who saw what was happening, instead of trying to stop me, they helped Midoriya hold Shoto back. Trying to drag him to the main building was almost impossible as he was practically built so it’d take a lot to hold him back.

Shoto was scared of what would happen to you, his girlfriend! The love of his life…! So his friends should understand his feelings yet, they didn’t let him go to you! They didn’t even try to get you back, the teachers were trying desperately to hold back Nakamura but ultimately ending up in them getting bitten, so far he had bit more than 4 people for sure but they couldn’t be certain at this point as bodies were dropping quickly by the second. They were sure Nakamura wasn’t this strong before, it was like he gained super strength and that’s why they ultimately got bitten.

Running over to the scene I used the buckle of the belt to hit Nakamura in the face with a swing, so powerful that it knocked him back and out of Aizawa-sensei’s grip just the right timing before Nakamura could sink his teeth into him. It happened so quickly that sensei didn’t have any time to protest when I made my moves.

“Sensei, let me handle this. Just help by finding some rope or chains to hold them down. Don’t get bitten or you’ll become infected.” I was calm, too calm.

“(L/n)! Get to safety!” Sensei replied

“No time to argue or explain, but we need to kill him or at least hold him down and I’m the only one here who’s capable of doing that!”

Secretly this scared sensei, at how much information I poured out. I pushed him back, not enough to hurt him but just to hurry him up. The other teachers also saw what happened and decided to trust their precious student seeing as I’m the only one who seems to know how to handle the situation. They didn’t want to trust this situation to their student, but what else could they do exactly?

Nakamura was powerful and it seems like nobody but me could hold him down. The U.A.’s teacher hands were tied. They needed to make a decision quickly, or more deaths will stain their bloodied hands… So against their will and good conscience, they placed their faith on me. Hoping that they made the right decision and that it wouldn’t lead to me getting bitten as well.

“Tch, fine. Be careful, I’ll look for something to help you!” He yelled, running in the direction of the activities area

“Preferably a gun!” I added

It wasn’t long before Nakamura stood up from the hit, his intentions to devour my flesh unwavering. Luckily for him, today I was going to do my best to put him out of his misery. He moved quickly to lunge at me but I dodged him faster, going up from behind him, grabbing his nape and waist. I threw him over my back. The impact was so strong that you could hear the sounding of his ribs cracking.

Before he could move, I pinned him down and flipped him so that he was facing the dirt, putting both of his hands together, using the belt to secure them so that he wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone anymore. Now I just need something to kill him with. He kept on struggling under me, turning his head from side to side to try and bite my delicious flesh. Being pissed off at this I grabbed his hair easily and lifted him up.

Then quickly I smashed his head to the ground, it should have put a lot of damage to his head, but not enough to actually kill him just managing to knock him out. I’m not sure how long though so I’ll need to act fast with the others, judging on the blood that kept on spilling nonstop from Nakamura’s head then I’d give maybe around 2 minutes tops. For now my next top priority is the handle the people he bit next. That is if they turn quickly, if not then good.

My senses were heightened towards the situation so I wasn’t paying attention to how everyone had stopped and stared at me in shock at what had happened. Shoto who was still protesting and trying to get out of his friend's grip at the time, stopped struggling when he saw how I handled the situation.

I knew what I was doing for sure now.

“So this is what you were hiding...” Shoto whispered in fear

He definitely wasn’t expecting it. When you said you trained endlessly at him, he’s now beginning to think his training didn’t cut half of yours. Sure he was strong, but you literally broke Nakamura’s ribs. He didn’t even think he would be able to do something like that. So how strong were you actually?! Also both of your will have lots to talk about, right now he’s really worried about your safety.

Next thing everyone knew was that Midnight sensei turned quickly into a monster, a zombie. Blood dripped from her mouth and she ran towards you, screeched out incoherent words. However just like before you stepped out of the way and roundhouse kicked her to the head. Making her fly off and hit the trunk of a tree. Forcefully knocking the wind out of her.

“I need a weapon!” I yelled out to anybody who was listening

Midnight sensei seemed to have a great stamina and endurance because your move did not hinder her for long. The minute she caught her breath, her eyes which were crying blood glared daggers into you. Clearly you had her complete attention, so you took a fighting stance, preparing for the worst to come.

“(L/n)! Catch!” Aizawa yelled throwing a line of chain at you

You caught it, and looked down for a second. It wasn’t too long, just enough to tie a person or two to a tree, but it made up for its size and thickness. Grabbing around the middle of the chain using the end, you twirled it around to your side. Preparing the momentum for what you were going to do.

Midnight got off the tree but it seems like her legs were fractured in the process, as she had to crawl towards me, then despite all odds she stood up. Which was a terrible idea because her bones became ever more fractured and broke through her muscles and skin. The bloody bone stuck out of her, and to make matters worse it was for both of her legs.

She ran towards me, not letting her broken bones hold her back. Using all the built up momentum I had with the chain I threw it towards her, wrapping her neck in it. She tried to untangle it but failed miserably as she just kept on clawing at it instead of unwrapping it. So while the chain was wrapped around her neck, I ran towards the trees she hit previously.

Throwing my end of the chain over a large tree branch, I grabbed the end of it and pulled, hauling it over my shoulder and walking to the opposite direction. Midnight’s body was lifted into the air, and she struggled to breathe. Clawing at the chains even more, she screeched and roared in pain but it didn’t even sound anything remotely human.

Opening her mouth, 4 weird separate things that looked somewhat similar to a tongues or that of a plant's leaves/petals which were lined up with large sets of spiky teeth. A tongue that looked like it belonged to a snake slithered out of the small mouth opening. It tried its best to free her from the wretched chains that prevented her from chomping down on our flesh and brains. Yet it was unsuccessful with every helpless movement it made.

Now I just needed something to pin the chain down with so that I could deal with the other 2 people who were bitten. Hopefully they hadn’t turned… Welp there goes those thoughts down the drain. Another person literally rose from the dead. Having the exact same symptoms as Midnight and Nakamura had.

“You have gotta be shitting me...” I groaned but then a brilliant idea came to mind, “Hey, shitface! Come at me!” I screamed, grabbing its attention easily

Instead of charging at other people who aren’t able to protect themselves. It charged at full force towards me with no strategy behind its moves. This fight was beginning to feel easier and boring by the minute. ‘If all they’re gonna do is charge at me, then this should be an easy win. At least I hope it’ll be, we still need to deal with the consequences after the situation has been handled. Not to mention the fact that yesterday there were so many umbrella corporation men stationed all over the camp. So how the Hell are they not on top of the situation!’

The answer was simple, and even I knew it but tried to refuse it in hopes that they would be there to save us. It was silly, but I only believed it because of Chris Redfeild. The Umbrella Corporation orchestrated this whole ruse.And if I don’t play my cards correctly, then I’ll fall back into the clutches of the deepest parts of their trap. Not to mention I’d also be dragging down everyone into this mess. Especially Shoto.

‘God! This is not how I wanted him to find out! If only I had the courage to tell him the truth…’ O nearly cried, but the fear of him hating me never ends and so I decided to conceal the truth. Thinking that it was the best choice for us, now I realized that it wasn’t my decision alone to make. After this whole thing is over, I was going to be telling the truth from now on.

“H-Help!” A distorted monstruos version of the once human spewed out.

It seemed as though they were trying to fight back against the infection, the parasite… However, we all know that won’t last because I’m the end, they’ll turn in mere moments from now, or it may be quicker than we anticipated. Honestly it all depends on their immune system response and their will to live. No one would be able to overcome this virus, not unless you were (L/n) (Y/n)… Me, and that’s why I’m so worried about my friends.

The virus took control over their mind and body completely. Still charging at me, instead of moving out of the way like I usually would do, I kicked it’s left foot harshly causing it to buckle to the ground. Taking advantage of the situation quickly before the tides could turn, getting on its back. Placing both my feet on their back and pulled back on their hair, forcefully revealing its neck and face to me.

I wrapped the ends of the chain that I was still holding onto the whole time around their necks. Easily missing their attempts to try to bite me. Getting off of them rather quickly right after I secured the chains, I jumped a back handspring off their back.

Which in result since my weight wasn’t helping to hold them down anymore, they flew up with many screeches of pain following. Both them and Midnight were now next to each other, the only thing dangling them up was the chains around their necks that hung over the trees' big and high branches.

Now that I finally finished that, I looked for any more people who had been bitten by Nakamura. There were many more… But they were lying dead on the ground not yet transformed so I was safe for now. Speaking of Nakamura, he sounded off from behind me. I was right, it only took around 2-3 minutes give or take, for him to recover from the impact.

“Looks like you haven’t had enough yet!” I screamed at him, preparing for when he’d charge at me.

“Stop it!”

The brunette camp counselor named Watanabe Ren yelled in fear but managing to hide it well enough, trying to diffuse the situation. He ran into the situation, shakily holding a shotgun in his hand. An unloaded one at that. The rest of the camp counselors followed after him though unlike him they weren't loaded with any weapons. In Watanabe’s other hand held some real shotgun ammo. ‘Thank God!’

“Shoot him now and aim for his head!” I screamed at him

“We aren’t going to kill him or any of the others! This is just wrong!” A camp counselor whom I wasn’t introduced to yet tried to make their way towards me before being pulled back by Aizawa sensei who had my back.

He pushed the camp counselors back before they could stop me, other teachers of ours following in his lead and supporting him, “We’ve got them, (L/n)! You better deal with the situation!”

“Will do!”

“Oh, you’re not going anywhere! Just who the Hell do you think you are?!” Another random camp counselor that I didn’t know yelled at me.

“What-t the Hell is going on?! Someone p-please explain!” Watanabe fearfully asked, staring directly at Nakamura, their eyes locking.

Frustrated with the event I growled at him, “I’ll explain later, just kill him now before it’s all too late!”

“No, we want answers now!” The blonde camp counselor Yoshida Akane, inserted frustratingly

Before I could answer her, Nakamura didn’t waste any time in running towards them as they were closer to him and in many numbers. In fear, Watanabe tried loading the gun as fast as possible, but it was an impossible task when he was shaking too much. Using this as a distraction. I immediately scanned the area for any possible weapons to use.

‘Fucking finally! Bingo!’ I yelled in my head running over to a metal baseball bat that was lying on the ground randomly. I grabbed it and ran towards the camp counselors by now though, Watanabe Ren had been pinned to the ground by Nakamura. But he wasn’t bitten yet for he had used the gun to shield himself from Nakamura.

He held the gun horizontally with 2 hands, whilst Nakamura chomped on it. With every ounce of strength he had, he struggled against the monster. The monster seeing as he couldn’t bite him, clawed into the counselors shoulders, easily tearing it apart and drawing blood.

Though that wasn’t the only place hold was drawing out from, Nakamura’s mouth also had blood flowing down nonstop from it and just like Midnight, something horrific came out of his mouth and this time because of that, it was able to throw the gun out of the counselors hands and wrap itself around his head.

Behind Nakamura was the blonde counselor who tried to pull him away from the brunette which failed from how weak she was and she also got scratched in the face and arms, lines of blood dripping from them. The other camp counselors had panicked and bailed on them, choosing to save their own lives than help their friends. ‘Some friends they are!’ I thought sarcastically.

I swung the metal bat right at Nakamura’s body, throwing him back to the ground, rolling a few meters away from us. I was emotionless as I ran up to him and swung the bat to his head this time, causing him to fall to the ground, I didn’t stop there though nor did he. I ran towards the gun near the dead brunette counselor and the crying blonde counselor who held onto him as she wailed.

Grabbing the unloaded gun and the ammo that was conveniently near and not lost. I loaded it as quickly as possible, whilst Nakamura got up and ran at me full speed, even faster than before. The weird thing coming from out of his mouth was still visible. I only managed to load and cock the gun, aiming at him. The distance between us was only a single meter.

“Eat this, motherfucker!” I screamed, pulling the trigger

A loud bang went off, making birds and other animals which lived in the woods run away in fear. I had hit Nakamura successfully in the head, he fell back from the impact and was now finally dead. Which I really hoped stayed that way this time.

I looked around me and grabbed some bullets from the dead counselor's pocket while the blonde counselor was still in a state of shock and broke down crying. Using the last bullet in the gun to shoot Midnight who was still alive. After that I reloaded and killed off the rest leaving no one behind. Even the camp counselor and anyone who hasn’t turned yet.

By now every student was at the main building safe and sound, watching the entire scene happen in front of them through the high tech holograms. They were crying at my actions of killing their classmates, friends, and family who were already dead. ‘Why couldn’t you leave them in peace!’ They thought, however, they were simple minded. They didn’t understand my actions or they refused to understand and acknowledge them.

Gasps of shock and disbelief sounded off behind me coming from the teachers and camp counselors and no one protested my actions because of the fear they held for me. No one except principal Nezu, who walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder and thanked me for my actions.

I was stuck in fear of everyone hating me for my actions but I needed to do it before they would turn and kill us all. But most notably I was scared of Shoto’s reaction. Would he break up with me? I can’t handle that as ever since the incident happened, Shoto became my number 1 pillar (Besides from my best friends) and reason that I kept on pushing forward.

Everyone including myself was on edge and although everything felt like it happened so fast yet so slow at the same time. In reality, it was still 5:30. Only 30 minutes had passed since the beginning of the end started.

Crickets were sounding off in every corner and the sounds of twigs breaking upon his foot crushing them, gave him an unsettling feeling in the pits of his stomach. It didn’t help that he heard a wolf howling in the distance. Nakamura Haru, the cashier from before who flirted with Todoroki’s girlfriend, was the name of the boy currently walking through the dark forest.

He held his flashlight tightly in his fist and brought his jacket closer to him. It was cold but he shook away those thoughts, concentrating on the task at hand. In all honesty he was scared and wanted this all to be over, recalling why the Hell did he even agree to coming out here because now he’s regretting ur so badly. The instructions the camp counselor gave him over the phone weren't difficult to understand, more so it was difficult to follow as he tread through the forest.

The building of the camp was forest surrounding most of the area and the cabins were put in that area. Meanwhile the main hall/building was put on the other end of the cabins. Maybe a 5 minute walk around for you to get to the main hall from the cabins.

In front of the cabins though, behind many trees was the lake and behind them were the activities area and further behind that was the forest which a mountain overlooked above it. Now the camp counselor called Nakamura to go to their office, but of course it was on top of the mountain.

"Great, just great.” He muttered a curse underneath his breath.

He didn’t think that the walk from the cabins to the camp counselors office would take so long. Like aren’t their offices and cabins supposed to be near them? Aren’t they supposed to be looking out at them? Then again he’s never been to camp before so he doesn’t really know.

He kept complaining inside his mind about how he was already tired from walking as it’s been around 30 minutes already and he hasn’t even reached the mountain yet. ‘This is to make (L/n), think you’re cool! So don’t pussy out! Plus this will look great in your record if you become the leader!’ He tried to motivate himself.

The moon hung above him and despite the many trees obscuring his vision of the moon. It Didn't matter as it still shone brightly, lighting the way to his path besides from the obvious flashlight he was carrying. 15 more minutes went by and he finally reached the foot of the mountain. After walking that much distance he was definitely going to ask the camp counselors if they could drive him back to the cabins.

He was definitely not going to walk all the way there back again, especially knowing that the camp counselors drove a black jeep towards their office. He kept on huffing, trying to catch his breath and his feet were killing him. The hike surely tired him out.

But despite that he didn’t waste any time on standby. The lighting and stuff were even creepier here than when he was still inside the forest. The eree light that came out of the lamp stand was swarmed by flies and other insects. Yet it didn’t fail to illuminate the creepy ass elevator which would take him up to the mountain, where both the camp counselors office and cabins were placed at.

The speakers that were attached to the lamp post suddenly came to life, “Head right up, Nakamura.”

He was so surprised at that since it was so sudden that he almost fell on his own ass. He assumed there were security cameras somewhere but he couldn’t find them as he looked around his surroundings. The sounds of crickets and other insects intensified and he didn’t like it one bit, so he shook his head at those previous thoughts and proceeded to press on the arrow up button for the elevator.

“Tsk, hurry up…” His foot rapidly tapped on the ground in frustration and a bit of fear.

The sound of the elevator came alive and began its descent to the ground. Once it arrived he had no hesitation in going inside it the moment its doors opened, almost running. The elevator was big and old fashioned. It was exposed too, not built inside the mountain. The thing covering it was mesh wires, it honestly looked a bit unstable, but stable enough that it wouldn’t collapse.

He didn’t dare to look down, instead concentrating on closing his eyes and tuning out the unsettling sound of the elevator which screeched as the wheel mechanisms above them worked hard to pull them up. He was starting to think that all of this wasn’t worth it, regretting not declining the offer given to him on the phone.

Once he arrived on top of the mountain, he quickly got out and ran to the camp counselors office, knocking harshly on the door. Once he was ushered inside he was greeted by another camp counselor which he didn’t recognize until he got a closer look. It was one of the camp counselors that was a girl and had red hair which was placed in a tight bun.

That wasn’t the camp counselor who spoke on the phone, it was the brunette guy. He asked the counselor if he was going to be discussing the position with her or the brunette camp counselor, however instead of a proper reply, he received a cup of hot chocolate. He was very grateful for it, just the thing he needed to cheer up from the stress from before.

Taking a sip immediately, he didn’t even notice the slight metallic smell the drink had…

.

.

.

“This tastes weird…” He slurred

.

.

.

“I-I feel aw-awful…” He lost his grip on the mug, feeling to dizzy

.

.

.

“Boys get him, we have orders to follow.” The red head spoke as 3 umbrella corporation men gathered around Nakamura.

.

.

.

“Eh- Wha-t!! Are you g-going to do to m-me!” He screamed before finally knocking unconscious…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

He woke up with a jolt finding himself locked in the middle of a white room, with nothing in it. Except for 2 doors which were placed opposite of each other and didn’t have any handles on it and a two way mirror which was only on one side of the room. He was a bit droopy, just now waking up, but then when the memories of what had happened returned to him. He began to panic, his throat becoming dry as he yelled and begged for them to release him.

Crying at this point, he looked at the mirror and kneeled down, begging pathetically to let him go. Then when he thought it had worked, the speakers in the corner of the room came to life.

“Who is (L/n) (Y/n)?” He didn’t recognize the deep voice that came out.

“Please! I don’t know anything! She’s just my batch mate! If you wanted information, you should have gone after her boyfriend, Todoroki Shoto! The guy with red and white hair and a big scar on his face!” He sniffed and stuttered in between his words.

“We could have, however… We aren’t looking for him just yet, we need to receive information about (L/n) first. Are you willing to cooperate?”

“Yes, anything please! Just let me go!”

“Good then.”

They began to question a lot of specific things about (L/n) and despite liking her, he gave out all of her information to them without any hesitation, effectively betraying her and placing her in harm's way. He was extremely guilty and upset with himself, but he was just human. He was weak, and no matter what happens he would always choose to save himself over others, no matter his relationship with them.

“Alright, that’s all.” The voice said

“Can I please go back now?” He asked fearfully

“Yes, but make sure you won’t tell anyone this or we’ll have to permanently shut you up.” He gulped loudly at that, body trembling in fear.

“O-Okay…” More tears began to flow down

The door opened in front of him. This was his chance to escape! He ran to it before a creature came out of it. It looks like a human girl, or more like looked like. Whatever it was, was not human at least not anymore. It smelled of rotting flesh and it looked like it was decomposing. It barely held up and its eyes were white with red veins surrounding it. Its clothes were torn and had lots of blood on it.

It was a monster and he was going to die. The creature groaned and screeched in rage as it saw its prey.

“What the Hell is that?!” He cried, backing up into the corner before looking at the security camera, begging them to spare his life.

No response came and instead the monster ran and lunged at him. He barely managed to jump out of the way, but was not able to avoid sustaining any injuries. It scratched at his side. It was a running game and he was going to lose. He knew it, he’s not going to get out of this alive.

The monster eventually managed to catch the boy and pin him down. Opening his mouth to bite at his neck, blood rushed from the area and he cried out. Bits of blood running down his mouth. Despite his weak nature, he mustered all his strength and hit the monster in the face. Ripping off a bit of his flesh and began to swallow it.

Evidence of what just happened was evident on the monster's mouth which dropped blood. His blood. The boy who didn’t know it yet, was going to turn exactly into that monster soon if not given an antidote. The other door that was previously closed opened up and he bolted for it. The white glowing hallway was extremely long but he didn’t dare to stop and catch his breath.

The pain was excruciating but he had to focus on getting out now before the monster could go after him. Once he arrived at the end of the hallway he began to pound his fist on the high tech door. Hoping, begging that it would open. Alas when the monster ran out of the room to chase after him.

He lost all hope. Crying so much he knelt down and prayed to God that he would somehow survive this and get out. His prayer was answered. When the monster began to approach him, red lasers which suddenly appeared out of the walls ran straight through the monster, effectively cutting it in half.

However that didn’t stop the monster, with its lower body missing it used its hands to crawl towards the boy. And so the laser came back and occupied everything in space and finally killed off the monster. Unlike before when the laser disappeared once its achieved its goal, this time it didn’t and was nearing the boy.

“Shit!” Nakamura Haru, cursed, clenched his bleeding neck, blood still sleeping through.

Once the laser was one centimeter away from his face did it stop and disappear. He felt like he could breathe again and thanked the Gods that he managed to survive. The door behind him opened to reveal that he was at the bottom of the mountain.

So he dashed towards the cabins not stopping for anything until he was able to sneak back in and do first aid on his injury. He didn’t dare to tell anyone about what had happened, the threat of them silencing him if he dared to expose them was floating in his panicked mind. Taking a shower, he changed into a pair of PJ's and crashed into his bed before looking at his phone only to find out that it was 3:47 AM. Sleep and exhaustion finally overcame him, as the last bits of adrenaline left his body.

The next day came and he wasn’t feeling too great, he informed his classmates and teachers that he was having a stomach ache and so he would stay in the cabins all day. For the most part he kept to his word, thanking his friends when they dropped him off some food. Well he didn’t keep to his word when he felt too shitty.

He kept on throwing up and he had a fever, he felt too weak to even get up on the bed. The bite from last night wasn’t healing as well, instead it was getting worse as each minute passed by.

.

.

.

Then the next thing he knew, he was out of it. He closed his eyes and his heartbeat slowed down until it eventually reached a stop…

.

.

.

He had died…

.

.

.

.

.

.

But he didn’t stay dead…

“3… 2… 1… Begin!” The camp counselor announced much to everyone’s anticipation

Once the countdown was done I immediately felt a pair of eyes boring into my very soul. I guess it didn’t take much time for him to recognize me. Of course he’s my boyfriend so he better recognize me, I’d be somewhat offended if he didn’t.

Plus I also didn’t mind the attention on me, in fact I was more than happy for it. It gave me motivation to do my best, well not absolutely best since I could get caught but you know what I mean.

Guns began to rapidly fire at me, luckily I managed to run and dodged them, seeking shelter behind a tree. But that didn’t stop them from still trying to hit me. I can heard the rapid firing and the ammos hitting the bark of the tree.

I can’t stay here for much longer. I need to move and I haven’t even shot my gun yet. Looking at my surroundings for anything that can help me I spotted a handgun magazine nearby, I managed to grab it with my foot. Extending it and kicking it in the air towards me. I caught it with my hand and began to formulate a plan.

I should have really formulated a plan beforehand, but it was unexpected that I would actually participate in this silly competition. Instead of whining and sulking around, I decided to make my next move. Which was to climb up the tree and shoot down the 2 umbrella men.

“How come they weren’t shooting the others down? It’s only me. God, Shoto is gonna be so worried after this.” I grimaced

‘The ones running this camp might already know who I am, so that’s why they’re shooting at me. Testing if their theory and hunch is correct.’ If what I was thinking was right then I shouldn’t really show off my skills. I now realized that taking Momo’s place in this competition was a stupid idea.

To risk or not to risk. And I chose to risk it. This game could be the reason why my identity is compromised and everything that I had built up will be wasted. ‘No! I need to keep being level headed! But then again… What’s life without a little risk? A boring one that’s for sure. Also not unless I prove to them I’m someone else then my identity wouldn’t really become compromised. I could purposely get shot or even shoot myself.

Then that alone could prove I'm insolent, when it comes to this kinda stuff. Yes! That’s just what I needed! I can turn this whole situation around. ‘I’ll just shoot myself first then those men. If they shoot me, they could actually hit a place that’s vital or really hurts.’ Putting my plan into action, I shot myself in 3 different non-vital areas. Making sure that they’ll bruise up.

“Shit, okay that really hurts. Shoto you better kiss these boo-boo’s away later.” I hissed in pain

‘You’ve felt even more shitty when a bullet actually pierced into you, so don’t complain.’ I thought to myself, looking back at the 2 men who continuously shot the tree, I easily shot them down. Making sure that they won’t get back up so easily. The 2 camp counselors, Watanabe Ren and Yoshinda Akane looked shocked as they watched the 2 men fall helplessly.

Not only them but everyone as well looked shocked. I’ll have to do a bit of explaining later. I dropped to the ground and easily and quickly shot down all the targets in one place, not bothering to move to have aim at them.

Once my rapid firing had ceased, because I was out of ammo, I pulled out a handgun magazine I found beforehand and reloaded like it was no biggie. I was a natural at it. Then I kept shouting down the targets, not missing a single one.

However something caught my attention, the 2 umbrella men got back up quickly and began to fire at me again. I aimed and pulled the trigger at them.

“Fuck.” I was out of ammo again

I couldn’t spot any more handgun magazines anywhere, however I did find another really pretty airsoft gun to be specific, a LCT AK-104 AEG. ‘Now we’re talking!’ Doing a rolling dive, I grabbed the gun and quickly stood up, shooting the 2 Umbrella men down, not missing a shot and they went down easily.

After that I aimed at the remaining targets that I hadn't shot down, and began rapid firing. Not a single bullet went to waste and after they were all down, I walked casually to the finishing line. Everyone was quiet and shook, even Monoma nor Bakugo had anything to say. They weren’t even pissed that I surpassed them.

They were just completely and utterly shocked.

The whole time I was doing the little game, I didn’t feel a single moment where Shoto’s eyes weren’t on me, drinking in my figure. Just like now, Shoto was looking at me directly yet he was completely lost in his thoughts, a trace of some sort, then finally he broke out of it as I walked towards him and grabbed him by the wrist quickly. Not wasting a single second to power walk, heading towards the shed, dragging him along with me.

Once I was close to everyone that they got a good look at me, they immediately recognized it to be me and not Yaoyozorou, despite me wearing a full body suit and a tinted helmet. Since both classes knew who was dragging Shoto, they weren’t really surprised seeing as both me and Shoto were open about our relationship.

Despite all of that I could not only still feel Shoto’s eyes but I could also feel both Class 1-A and B’s eyes boring into the back of our heads but that was sort of expected after all I am dragging him to the shed. Who knows what we might do there?

The camp counselor also finally broke out of the trance and so he coughed, catching everyone’s attention, “Alright let’s start counting the points and picking up the BB’s. We’ll award the winner after that.”

In the shed

“Shoto! Go a bit slower and gentler! It hurts!” I moaned out in pain, tears coming out of my eyes.

“I know, I apologize. I didn’t mean for it to hurt, just stop squirming and it’ll hurt lesser.” He whispered gently into my ear

And no, get your mind out of the gutter. We weren't doing that in a shed. Once we got in the shed, I told Shoto I got hit by the BB’s multiple times and that it really hurts. He didn’t question anything else or spoke about what happened in the competition which I really appreciated.

Shoto turned around so that I could get changed out of the uniform and into my casual clothes, and he was also very sweet since he made sure that he wouldn’t turn around until I was finished. Once I was finished he inspected the damage caused by the BB’s.

“That’s gotta hurt. Are you sure there isn’t one anywhere else?” He kissed my forehead

“Mhm.” I hummed back a response

“Alright, may I?” He asked, grabbing some ointment from the first aid kid behind me.

“Yeah, sure.” I winced at the painful bruise

He lifted me onto the wooden table behind me and grabbed my thigh. Both of us blushing, carefully he put on the ointment on a cotton swab then applied it on my thigh where the bruise was. I hissed when it came into contact with which he kissed my cheek in comfort.

In the reality of all this I was over exaggerating and acting. I could handle this kind of pain as after years of rigorous training my pain tolerance increased. I was just making a big deal out of it so that Shoto would play nurse, which was hot to be honest and I have no regrets for my actions whatsoever. I mean I saw an opportunity so why would I not take it, it’d be such a waste don’t you think?

I didn’t want Shoto to worry too much so after he patched me right up, I gave up the act and gave him a kiss on the lips as a reward, mumbling compliments into his ears as a thank you. He blushed and stuttered which was super cute, so I quickly pulled out my phone and took a picture of him. Turning off my phone and shoving it into the back of my pocket before Shoto could protest and ask me to delete it.

“Like Hell am I going to delete that picture of you!” I screamed at him, standing on top of the table making sure he wasn’t able to reach my phone which I held up high.

“(Y/n), please.” He gave me puppy eyes, making me almost give in to his request.

“When Hell freezes over!”

In the end I won as Shoto was too smitten with me to even try to compete with me in this one. So I made his picture my wallpaper which made him really embarrassed. Once that was over, I knew I wasn’t off the hook with Shoto, I didn’t inform him about me being entered in the competition. So helping me off the table, he grabbed me by the waist and started to gently run his hair through my hair.

Sighing he began to speak in a low voice, “Next time be careful, I was really worried you know when I recognized it was you. Wasn’t it supposed to be Yaoyozorou?”

“It was, but Jirou didn’t want her to participate, said she could get hurt and so I took her place.” Shame and guilt laced my voice

“Yaoyozorou listened to Jirou’s request and yet you didn’t think about asking me?” By his voice and choice of words, you could clearly tell he was hurt.

“I didn’t think it through, I’ll consider your feelings next time I promise. I'm really sorry.” I snuggled into his chest and kissed his neck in apology.

“I know I also do stuff like that, that’s dangerous but I’m a guy and I don’t want to see my girl get hurt. You understand?” Placing his hand on my cheek, I nuzzled into it.

“I understand, but Sho… There’s something I gotta tell you… It’s about the one before.”

“As I said I won’t force-“

“You don’t get it!” I cried, “I don’t want to say it but it could affect our entire future…”

“As long as it’s not something like you cheating on me, or involving my dad. I think we’ll be fine.” He spoke out truthfully

“It doesn’t, it’s something much bigger than that… Before, I was also like you… Trained endlessly I mean…” He kept quiet and listened intently, “I used to get hurt a lot as well… And I…” I felt like crying and throwing up, “I don’t- can’t say the rest…” I cried into his shirt.

He spoke seriously this time, “I see, did anyone touch you in any way or did someone hurt you?”

“H-Hurt…” He sighed, immensely relieved that nobody touched you.

“Shh… You’re okay now.” He realized she was the same as he was, both broken but right in this moment he had to be strong for her.

He kept whispering sweet words into her ears. Making promises that he won’t let anyone hurt her anymore. After a while I stopped crying, letting him wipe away all of my tears and placed a kiss on my lips making me giggle.

“C’mon let’s go. They’ll be announcing the winners I’m sure. I’m sure that class A will win, especially with you on our side. Class B was great too but we had more experience. Our scores were close though initially before you got to play, after you played I’m sure we’ll win by a landslide… You were awesome back there, you know? In the overall winners as well, you’ll pass everyone, even me. You’ll win first place” He spoke with a smile

And Shoto was right, I did win. My time was the shortest among all and I hit all the targets with a bullseye. Making class 1-A the winners by a landslide but I still won first place exactly like Shoto said, making Monoma pissed.

We called it good game and everyone headed to the main hall. With Bakugo boasting about it the whole time, being the little son of a bitch that he was. Making Monoma so pissed at our class, which resulted in him receiving a karate chop to the neck by none other than Kendo.

“I am hanging on!” Quite literally he was dangling upside down from the monster's grip

“Why don’t you just freeze it, you pussy?!” I screamed In frustration, throwing one of my blades at another titan who again was trying to devour my classmate.

My question clearly wasn’t rhetorical yet Todoroki never answered back. It was confusing, to say the least. One minute he was trying to literally freeze me to death or burn me alive and now he can’t even accomplish just freezing a single titan?! Seriously, you’ve gotta be freaking kidding me!

If his conscience couldn’t handle the fact that he would be technically freezing a poor innocent police officer or even a civilian who just so happened to get caught up in this war so he got turned into a titan, then he should have just frozen the titan's whole face or just even its mouth! It’s that simple of a solution! No need for bloodshed if he can’t take the guilt!

And even if the titan would rip the ice off of his mouth/whole face, right after he froze it. He would still have had a diversion! A means of escape! Something must be wrong if he didn’t do it. He isn’t dumb, that’s for sure. In fact, he’s like I don’t know, the top 5 in the class in terms of his IQ, I believe. Didn’t really keep track of that since it wasn’t necessary.

Though his IQ is high, do not ask about his EQ. We all know that he has some sort of trauma and/or issue. Plus he’s also very dense. Finally reaching the damned boy, I cut off the titan's fingers, effectively freeing Todoroki from its nasty clutches. I did it so quickly it didn’t have time to regenerate its eyes and all of the places I shot at(It was in its face).

Grabbing the dual-haired boy who was still convinced that I am the mastermind villain throughout all these events before he could fall. He wrapped one arm over my shoulder holding it tightly to make sure he doesn’t fall off, while I wrapped one arm around his waist.

If this situation wasn’t awkward enough, to begin with from the close proximity alone, but the fact that I had to hold tightly onto him or the consequences would be severe. Ending in a pancake Todoroki with ketchup and not syrup surrounding his corpse. I turned my head to look him in the eyes.

I was shocked. Never had I ever seen Todoroki’s face hold so much confusion and desperation as of now. His turquoise and ash grey eyes bloomed with so many mixed emotions, not only confusion and desperation. But fury, hurt, sadness, frustration, and tears. Yes, his face looked even more confused than he had been at the sports festival.

But the moment I saw tears dripping down his face, I knew that at that point and moment, I knew something was wrong. Terribly wrong, not for me per se but for poor Shoto. I had personally never seen him cry. And boy was I glad I hadn’t because fucking Hell was it so awkward. It was even more awkward and uncomfortable due to our close proximity.

I didn’t know anything about how to comfort the poor boy and I’m certainly not going to use Levi’s method of destressing and calming himself, which is cleaning everything until it was spotless of course. If it wasn’t obvious enough, what else would it have been? Spending time with me and Mikasa as a family though distant?

Nuh-uh! I mean I have noticed that he’s kinder to me and Mikasa but that doesn’t mean shit. He cares about all of his soldiers and that final. I shook my head, so many things are going on around me but I keep on getting lost in my train of thoughts.

That isn’t good, to say the least. Not good at all. Setting Todoroki down with everyone who was busy trying to fight off the titans, well more like distract them since their quirks didn’t do shit to the damned beasts.

“Shoto? May I call you, Shoto?” I asked in worry, turning his head to face me, by the chin.

‘Ah shit, way to go me. I spoke before I could even think. Too late to back out now, best get on his good side then. Even if he doesn’t believe me, I still gotta try or I’ll die trying!’ I mentally cursed at myself for getting in an awkward position.

‘Yeah sure we’re wasting time but we’ve never actually talked before unless it’s for school. Best get it off of the bucket list before we’re all inevitably killed in this stupid war. Plus can’t I just get a single good conversation through this war? Is it that much of a crime? And yes I know my classmates are dying but give me a damn second.’

“It’s Todoroki to you. Respect my name.” He replied coldly, turning his head harshly from my grasp.

“Look we got on the bad foot. I know I may not be trustworthy but give me a chance. I have never done anything wrong to any of you since we’ve been classmates these past few months.” I replied coolly, practically saying to everyone who was fighting for their lives to fuck off for a second and let me have this moment.

“Look I guess we did get off on the bad foot but I’m not going to trust you! So what we’ve been classmates for the past few months! I’m still not letting you off the hook, villain!” He yelled in frustration, squeezing both of my shoulders tightly.

“I think you should reconsider. I’ve heard rumors that before the sports festival you acted like your father. And we all practically know how much he’s like a villain if it wasn’t for the lives he saves. In fact, you don’t seem too good, Shoto. Now I’m not saying this to get on your bad side. I’m just saying that you haven’t seen my side of the story. So don’t judge the book by its cover. Because I don’t go doing that to you or would you, like me too? That can be easily arranged if you wish.” I turned his head again like before, though this time I wiped off the tears from his face with my sleeves, “Keep this in mind Shoto. Villains are made, not born.” My speech left him absolutely speechless, though despite that tears kept flowing down his face.

“I’m so so-sorry…” He let out a hiccup, “I couldn’t do it, I risked not only my life but yours as well… I couldn’t do it, I just couldn’t. It's just…” He looked like he was on the verge of breaking down, making me think he saw something that triggered him so he paused to take a minute to recover, “We’re wasting time! Everyone’s dying around us! Let’s get back to this later!” His heart was frosted over ice once more, so he scoffed and grabbed my hand.

He pulled me towards another damn titan. By now Yaoyorozu had made guns and passed them all around. Now we’re talking! Finally! We were able to fight back against these monsters! It was ironic it seems, we’re supposed to be people who save other people such as civilians and such yet we’re the ones who are in desperate need of help and like fast.

Creati after some point got super tired of making the guns and the bullets for them. She overworked herself and pushed over her limits. Now she’s practically useless and a dead weight. Her girlfriend, Jirou is currently carrying her on her back despite being practically more petite than her.

The boys would have carried her had they not been busy trying to save their own lives before they could save the others. Me, I was barely getting by, it wasn’t because I was weak or anything. I guess I just didn’t have the motivation or determination to push through and give it my all.

If I had, I would have finished all of the titans off in no time. Honestly, they might be humans and supposed allies of us, People of Ymir. But I wouldn’t think twice about leaving them to become titan food. Maybe it was from everything they’ve done to me or maybe it was something else.

The titans just kept on coming and coming. There was nothing we could do. I was beginning to run out of gas and more swords. I only had 2 extra swords left and with the number of titans after us, I don’t think we can pass through. The amount of luck and time was running out. I’d say we’ve been fighting for at least 2 hours by now.

I wasn’t sure at this point since I wasn’t keeping track of the time, though it sure did feel longer than that. The number of our survivors wasn’t that fatal per se . A lot of us were still alive, well considering I’ve seen the scouts complete more dangerous missions with lesser soldiers. Who the Hell am I even kidding with this bullshit?! Like half of the class had been wiped out!

As of currently, there are a total of 12 survivors:

Me

Todoroki Shoto

Midoriya Izuku

Uraraka Ochako

Iida Tenya

Bakugo Katsuki

Kirishima Eijiro

Kaminari Denki

Mina Ashido

Jirou Kyoka

Yaoyorozo Momo

Aizawa Shouta

Mineta was first to die, then Koda. The 3rd death was Tsuyu’s, such a tragic death. Her tongue was bitten off by the titan and while she was focused on the plan, she had not noticed the 10-meter titan creeping from her behind. I had also not noticed that until Sero pointed it out, screaming along the lines of he’ll save her.

The 4th death was Sato’s. Despite his quirk being super strong, he wasn’t strong enough to survive and lift the small building that fell on him. Effectively killing him instantly.

The 5th death was Sero, when Tsuyu had been killed, he went into beast mode—dodging all of the titans by swinging through the air with the help of his tapes. First, his right leg was bitten off and he fell on a nearby roof. I could have helped him had it not been for another titan holding me back.

He was close enough to Tsuyu’s murderer and I could tell he could only see red rage. Again he was too late, 3 more titans approached him and ripped his body apart. His death was similar to Eren’s first death in a sense. They both died in rage trying to protect the ones they love.

6th was Shoji, who died because of being accidentally stepped on by a really big titan. He had no time to process things until a large shadow casted over him. When he looked up there was nothing else he could do to stop the tears, screams, and fright coming from him. Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! He was stepped on 3 times before the beast was sure he was dead.

7th was the invisible girl, none of us saw her die of course but we did finally see her body. I'm not even sure when she died; we just found her buried in rubble, similar to Sato’s death. Though we finally saw her true form. Since when she died, her quirk also went away revealing her beautiful self. At least she was covered in the rubble when she died as she was naked.

8th was Tokoyami, and to make matters worse it was somewhat Bakugo’s fault. I’m sure he’s feeling pretty guilty now. Tokoyami, of course, couldn’t use his quirk properly but with Bakugo who was coincidentally beside him, it was definitely hard to use Dark Shadow’s true potential. Not like his quirk was much help since quirks, in general, didn’t work against the titans.

And Tokoyami relied purely on his quirk even after the internship and camp. Dark Shadow’s punches and such kept on going through the monsters, it was completely immune to it. And so another student went down to the monster's belly.

The 9th death was Oijiro, distraught by the death of his girlfriend or maybe even almost girlfriend. He gave up on hope. On everything, accepting his death he let himself be picked up by 4 titans who started tugging on each of his limbs until he was ripped apart into 4 pieces.

The 10th death was Aoyama. To cut things short his stomach went hurting after using his laser beam for an extended period of time even if it did not affect the titans. So he used them as distractions for us. The titans crowded on him so quickly right after his stomach began to hurt like Hell, using his moment of vulnerability to their advantage.

The rest of us were covered in dirt. The fabrics of our costumes had been torn apart as proof of our escape from death, also known as the mighty beasts. Blood was either seeping out or splattered from our clothes, both our own and from our classmates, dead or alive, which didn’t matter at this point. Because what mattered was getting out alive. Surviving…

By now the city was covered in debris. Titans roamed freely and I haven’t seen a single scout passing by, not yet at least. The once beautiful city now roared in a massive blaze of fire that even put Endeavor to shame. Most of the civilians may have already escaped or evacuated to the docks, but we can’t say for sure.

I think the class and my teacher find it weird that they haven’t run into any civilians by now or even other heroes. Maybe their thoughts were filled with hopes that their loved ones are safe. I could tell they were desperate to see their families and friends, but they now have a duty to uphold. If they won’t help in fighting who will?

Maybe everyone is focused on somewhere else…? Or maybe their… Who am I kidding? It is clear to see. Most civilians are dead. Some may have managed to be evacuated or escaped but it cannot make up for the blood that was shed. But I also had a theory, they could have also been turned into titans, which was most likely since the amount of titans roaming the city was quite a large amount.

In the distance, I heard guns going off. Like a battle was occurring. I looked at everyone else, somewhat confused that they either didn’t seem to care or they didn’t hear the guns being shot. Wait, a minute! I have an idea that might just really help.

“We won’t last like this! We need more people!” I screamed at our teacher.

“We don’t have any backup! All communications are lost as well! Looks like they took down the cell towers!” He replied in a frustrated yet tired voice.

“Weren’t we the only ones going on a field trip?! What about class-B?! If we can gather our forces with them! We might just make it out of this!”

The realization hit him, “They’re at the city square! If they're still there we can make it! it's not far from here!’ He then began to instruct the class to go to the city square and combine forces with class-B while he’ll distracts the monsters.

A lot of them didn’t like this plan. They didn’t like the fact that we’ll be using our teacher as a distraction. They think he’ll die if he fights against the titans alone, which is most like the outcome. They had learned that the hard way of almost losing their teacher with the USJ incident

My classmates protested, especially Iida who looks up to Aizawa-sensei immensely, that’d be a huge blow to him if our adviser would return injured or even not return at all. Kirishima is well saying along the lines that it’s not manly of us to leave our teacher behind. Our teacher's heart warmed up at that obviously.

Of course, he didn’t want to leave us all alone to fend for ourselves. He was supposed to look after us. Now it was on his watch that almost half of his students had died. I could tell his conscience felt very guilty about that and devastated. Who wouldn’t be?

I wasn’t close to our teacher though. But I understand his actions and where he was coming from. A shot of deja vu tan through me. His actions remind me of Commander Erwin. It felt so long since his death passed and I’m sure none of us had gotten over it.

But we continued to persevere, fight, and survive. We continued his legacy. So that is why it pains me to watch our teacher sacrifice himself just as our Commander did. It was for the greater good. If our sensei would distract the titans, drawing them all near him.

We’d have a clear shot at survival. We’d probably make it to the city square and regroup with class-B. If not then we’ll figure another solution out. For now, we’ll have to gamble and take the risk.

“Let’s go, everyone! There’s no time to waste! We don’t have another plan! Use your quirks and let’s go! Don't let our teacher’s sacrifice be for nothing!” I screamed at them as though they were soldiers, trying to knock them out of their fears.

“Plus Ultra!” With tears in their eyes, they knew I was right, then we all yelled a battle cry, pushing ourselves over our limits.

We ran and used our quirks, my body felt tired. Everyone else felt like that. We felt heavy and as though we were pushing a boulder. Todoroki who once again was beside me using his ice to move faster. Midoriya and Bakugo ran behind him, I could tell though that Midoriya was taking this the hard way. It wasn’t only him though. Everyone looked defeated with tears and frustration kept building up inside of them.

“Hurry up everyone! We’ll have time to mourn for them all later, but if we don’t hurry up we might end up with the same fate as the-!” I was cut off by a scream that came from where we left our teacher.

“Come on! Bring all you’ve got! I’m over here!” Sensei yelled trying to bring all the titans towards him which unfortunately did work.

We decided to tune out those sounds. Listening to them further would only make us more guilty for leaving him behind. 2 more minutes of running and I’d say we’d reach City Square. If class-B still stands then we’d have a second shot at getting through this.

“We’re almost there, we can’t stop now!” I grabbed the ponytailed girl from Jirou, who was on the verge of collapsing, “Kaminari, carry Jirou, we must push forward if we can to survive!” Even if I was tired I placed the girl on my back.

“I can take it, give her back!” Both tired and exasperated, the said girl screamed her lungs out at me.

Iida but in to scold us, “Argue later, for now, we have to survive! Do not let Aizawa-sensei’s sacrifice go to waste!”

“What’s the plan, bitch face?! Once we reach class-B and regroup what’ll we do?!” Bakugo, who flew beside me using his explosions, asked calmly.

Rolling my eyes at him, “We’ll split into groups probably, first I’ll let you guys evacuate your family then we move onto the civilian's right aft-!” The falling of boulders rapidly from the sky cut me off, “Shit! It’s the beast titan! Fuck! Everyone! Get behind me! We have to continue before it’s too late! Bakugo if ever boulders or debris is blocking our way, blast them to bits!”

“With pleasure!” He smirked, finally getting his hopes of turning the tides around against the titans.

I grabbed Todoroki’s hand, who happened to be the closest one near me and dragged him behind me. While Bakugo got the message I yelled at him, flew in front of me, and began to lead the way to City Square. We were dodging the boulders to the best of our abilities but that wasn’t our only obstacle.

Because there were still the occasional titans we just so happened to pass by. Yes, Aizawa-sensei drew in most of the titans from this area, still, some kept getting in our way. Like right now.

I scream a battle cry into the air, “Agh! Fucking die already!”

I quickly flew ahead of Bakugo and dropped. Yaoyozorou who was on my back, into his arms. Causing him to stumble back and yell out a curse at me. The titan just popped out of nowhere. It was going to be face to face with him and it was about to eat him by surprise had I not acted. Swerving behind the beast with my aerobatics skills, I sliced off the titans' nape. Making its blood splatter on me, freaking disgusting.

Kirishima, who saw this all happening, decided that he wasn’t going to run and do nothing except watch us do all the work. For him, it wasn’t something manly. So he rushed to Bakugo, jumping on top of the debris and boulders, grabbing the girl from Bakugo’s arms. He placed her on his back and continued to push himself forwards.

I flew back next to Todoroki and let Bakugo lead the way. Occasionally he had to blow up some debris and boulders both coming in our way and blocking them. I also had to come in and intervene sometimes because titans kept randomly popping out, I didn’t want any more students to die so I decided to act upon myself quickly.

“We’re almost there!” I screamed, seeing a bunch of different colored hairs in the distance as I finished off yet another titan.

“Then let’s hurry!” Todoroki screamed as he and our classmates passed by me, grabbing my hand and pulling me into him.

“By the way, I’m still not done with you, I still wanna know why you risked my life.” I glared at him the same way he used to glare at me.

“We’ll have time for that later.” He glared back, not backing down.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed, “If there even is a later, I’ll protect you and everyone until we part ways to evacuate the civilians. I’ll be going with you though since you trust me so much.” I spoke sarcastically to which he just nodded irritatedly.

Running and pushing ourselves past our limit we finally reached City Square. A chance to victory was in our hands. A bunch of newly graduated cadets was supposedly positioned here. Even if they were cadets they could help me a lot.

“Shit!” I grabbed Todoroki and placed him behind me as a gunshot fired into the air.

It hit Bakugo in the shoulders, making him curse in pain. Midoriya who witnessed everything cried out for his childhood friend, grabbing him quickly and then hiding behind a large piece of debris. Ripping a piece of his hero costume to use as a bandage, he tied it tightly around his shoulders in an attempt to stop the blood.

I and everyone else followed his actions, hiding behind large pieces of fallen debris. Mina let out a scream as a bullet shot into her left abdomen. Kaminari, who was next to her, quickly took off the jacket from his hero costume and ripped off a piece. Doing the same thing as Midoriya he tied the fabric to her abdomen.

With shaky hands he pressed down on the wound, hoping the blood would stop spilling out. Tears began to stream down his face. It was clear enough to see that by the amount of blood coming out from Mina, she wouldn't make it. This was her end.

I could see the life beginning to fade from her eyes. I couldn’t watch. Not when the Kirishima who passed the passed-out girl to Jirou began to sprint to Mina. Not caring that multiple bullets were shot into the air, one of them happened to graze his leg. He didn’t flinch from the pain, instead continuing to push forward, determined as ever. Plus he did use his quirk to make sure he wouldn’t die.

He crouched down to Mina and tried to help Kaminari stop the bleeding. Using the rest of what was left of Kaminari’s jacket to put pressure on her wound. Tears kept coming from both of them and I could even tell Bakugo was also crying based on the sniffles he was trying to hide.

It was sad that we don't have time to mourn the death of our classmates. It was sad we didn’t get to say goodbye. Everything just happened so quickly yet it felt like time moved in slow motion. If you even get what I mean.

Realizing quickly that we couldn’t stay behind the debris for long, I took a little peek from out behind the debris I was using as a shield. A bullet shot at me directly, just narrowly missing me. ‘Shit if I can’t find where they are positioned at, we’ll be sitting ducks!’ I spotted a broken mirror near me and Todoroki. It was a bit of a stretch but completely doable.

I nudged his shoulder, pointing my finger at the broken mirror shard. He extended his feet and used them to pull the mirror to us. It wasn’t as easy as it looked though, he failed a couple of times. It took him multiple tries before he successfully reached the mirror with his foot. Bullets also shot from what seemed out of nowhere. Almost hitting his leg in the process.

He stepped on the mirror and dragged it back to himself, picking it up from under his foot, he quickly handed it to me. Using the mirror, I angled it to look in different directions. I spotted a few class-B students hiding under some debris and some dead bodies scattered around the ground. The bodies belonged to those of class-B, their adviser, random civilians, and the newly recruited cadets.

There were a total of 2 of the newly recruited cadets. If I recall correctly, there should be a total of 5 of them stationed here. Seeing as this is the city square, it’d be stupid to station new recruits there, of course we had our reasons. We believed that the center of their attacks would be at city hall. Their main target being the mayor of this city.

Whispering quietly to myself as I scanned the area through the mirror, “Where are you?”

“Maybe they're in the buildings or cars.” Todoroki proposed

“Probably…” Pausing for a second to think of our next possible moves, “Hey umm… Guys, I got some good news and bad news.” Everyone who was still alive looked at me

Shoto spoke up because everyone was quiet, “Good news first.”

“Well, good news is that this is a titan free zone and there may be 3 of my comrades here to help us. The bad news is we got here too late and the Marley’s have dominated this area and I can’t seem to find them. So we'll need someone to create a distraction, then that’ll draw our enemies out. And with our remaining guns and bullets, we’ll kill them. Got it?” I asked everyone

They more or less seem in and out of it, it was understandable of course as their whole lives had changed so drastically in a matter of moments. I can only imagine the amount of trauma they're going through right now, as well as all of the anxiety of not knowing whether or not your loved ones are safe or at least alive. They seemed to have understood what I explained and asked of them, yet they still continued to be trapped in this sort of trance.

“This is so not manly… How can I be this useless…?” Kirishima began, his knees tucked to his body, rocking back and forth whilst he pulled his hair in frustration, tears already pouring down.

“... Kiri-” Midoriya began to try and soothe the said boy, before another person interjected.

“What about our families, will we never see them again? I didn’t even get to say goodbye or to repay my parents…” Uraraka’s voice cracked as she broke down, following the same as Kirishima, then puking, most likely from overworking her quirk.

“Guys…” Iida tried to intervene and cheer everyone up, but he himself was in the same boat as they were, so he was left like a fool speechless.

Jirou spoke a little bit too loud that the enemies had noticed, effectively shooting a bullet in our way, “She must have really overworked herself!” She pressed down on the gun shot on the ponytailed hair girl, tears already falling down as she kept mumbling to herself that everything is fine.

Everything was not fine. It was all going down hill and if we didn’t do something to turn the situation around. Then we’ll all die.

Iida who sat besides them yet never noticed the blood rushing down from vice-president’s leg began to help the 2 girls in any way he could

I see now that everyone was in despair. All hope was lost. Everyone was tired, confused, depressed, and scared. This was our first moment of break from all of the fighting and exhaustion from before. I was the same as them, yet I can’t find it in myself to care as much as I should have.

Could that have been from all the bullshit they put me through. I couldn’t tell at this point, I practically didn’t feel shit. Everything’s just so numb. I had no motivation to push through the boundaries or as per the heroes, ‘Go Beyond And Plus Ultra.’

I think Todoroki must have gotten the hint that I was also giving up on them because he began to speak to me gently, “Please, we need your help. We can’t do this alone.” He desperately begged

The depth of the graveness of the situation, settled in on him probably. In all seriousness, I was shocked by his actions to say the least. Never did I think that in my life, that Todoroki Shoto, son of Endeavor, son of the number 1 hero, best of class 1-A, begged me to help them.

I thought about my choices for a hot second then made up my mind and stood up a bit, “What else do I have to lose? Just my life of course… However, I did make an oath to save humanity and I intend to see it through. Let’s go, no more wasting time.”

A familiar boyish scream cut me off, “Agh!! (Y/n)! Captain! Mikasa! Armin! Help!”

“Oh God. Anyone but you!” I screamed and against all my wishes, when I peaked out I saw a familiar black hair, “Ayato!” I screamed out in fury before another bullet was shot to his side.

Before Todoroki could pull me back and knock some sense into me, I felt a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time. Electricity ran through my brain and I feel in full control over my body.

“Die!” I screamed out a battle cry, wasting a lot of my gas that was already running low.

With a battle cry, I killed all of the surrounding enemies without hesitation, managing to dodge all of the bullets they were rapidly shorting at me. There was only 1 final enemy left though, the one on top of Ayato. I kicked the soldier off of Ayato and grabbed his gun from him.

He laughed at me and began yelling insult after insult. All I saw was red and rage. I didn’t care who was watching, he deserved to die a painful death. Grabbing his head I threw it to the ground so hard that blood began to fall.

I was sick of it. I towered over him as he whimpered and begged to live, pathetic can’t even hold his honor. I lifted my foot over his head and began to stomp on it with all my might. Everyone’s yells went deaf in my ears.

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

His cries, whimpers, and pleads fell deaf on my ears as I began to scream out reasons why he deserved this.

“You killed my family!”

“You killed my friends!”

“You killed my soldiers!”

“You dare ask for mercy but did you even give us mercy!”

“You took away my life!”

“You took away our peace!”

“You killed my people!”

“You deserve this!”

“You keep on taking away the lives of others!”

“I was forced to become a soldier because of you!”

“It’s your fault!”

I lost count of how many times I crushed his head with my foot. Blood splattered all over my clothes, but I didn’t care. He deserved it.

“That’s enough!” Before I could even yell and stomp even more, Todoroki grabbed me from behind and began to cool me.

Trying desperately to calm me down, I looked around and I saw what remained of our class. Helping all of the Class-B students who were still alive, some of them tied up. I can only assume they were tied up because they wanted to keep them as prisoners or hostages. But then my eyes landed on Ayato and all the other new recruits, 3 remained left out of the 5.

I wriggled out of Todoroki’s grasp and ran to Ayato, “Please! Anyone but you! Don’t die! Don’t die! Don’t leave me alone!”

I quickly kneeled before him and placed his head gently into my lap as he coughed out some blood and gave me his hand, speaking in between his bloody coughs, “Live for me and take care of everyone…”

That was the last thing he spoke before dying, I felt nothing but complete sadness and rage. A few tears ran down my cheeks but there was nothing more I could do. My best friend was dead. There would be no more stupid jokes or silly stories for us to share during break time or whenever we were free.

“Ayato wasn’t supposed to be placed here. Why is he here?” I questioned

“He heard that we were having a hard time defending. So he came back up.” A new recruit hugged me from behind, tears also streaming down her face.

I grabbed Ayato’s cloak and called over Todoroki, to which I gave him my own bloody cloak and told him to wear it, reluctantly he did. I wore Ayato’s which was also stained in his own blood and ripped out his name tag from his jacket.

“Shoto. If I die, you will lead everyone on, including my soldiers. Make sure you put them first before you. Please, they have families, they have names...” I didn’t care if I wasn’t using his last name

Before he could reply, I walked away and gathered everyone up. The new recruits, my classmates, and what remained of class 1-B. Class 1-B didn’t complain nor questioned my authority, especially Monoma who looked at me seriously like an ally, yet there was still a hint of disbelief and resentment in his eyes as he stared at me. I can only assume my classmates had explained the situation to class 1-B already.

Putting my hands behind my back, I began to speak, “Today as we face the impending and inevitable war! We are all the same. We’ve lost our families, friends, dignity, and what we once called home. Today, we saw many die before us and we were helpless, we couldn’t save our fellow classmates and teachers no matter how hard we tried.”

“And who said you can lead?!” This pissed Monoma off apparently as he screamed furiously, “From what I see here you're just with them!”

“How dare you speak against her! You don’t know what we’ve been through! We save humanity, we’re fighting this war! We’re on your side!” A recruit cried out in anger towards him pulling out her blades.

“And what about it?! What were you doing when we were all being slaughtered?! Nothing?! That’s what, you did absolutely nothing as we were helplessly being killed!” Monoma spat back

“We helped! We sacrificed our lives as well!” Her and the 2 other recruits hissed back at him

“ENOUGH!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, “All of this fighting among ourselves is meaningless, we can’t do anything anymore, what’s done is done! So fucking forget about it! We only have our duties to do! We only have our duties left to uphold! Protect and serve the people! And what are we doing?! Meaninglessly yelling! Now listen up because these might be the last words you hear before you die!”

“Tch.” Both Bakugo and Monoma said in unison

Placing my tight fisted hand above my heart with my other hand behind my back, “Worry not of your fallen friends and family as no soul can say they’ve died in vain, not until the end when this war is finally over.”

“Even still, how can we win against them? Our enemies are gigantic and our quirks don’t work against them.” Uraraka cried out

“Remember this everyone, deep within us if we channel our anger and rage, we are just as barbaric as they are.” Raising my blades to the sky, “Wielding the blade of gloria we’re meant for victory! And it doesn’t matter if your quirks work or not against the titans because with every ounce of our lives we’ll fight back! We’ll reclaim the land and pride that was stolen from us! We will bring justice to all the lives taken.” Dropping my blades at my shoulders then to the cloak on Todoroki’s back, “Only those who fight against the titans are deserving of those wings! The wings of freedom!”

“They are the prey and we are the hunters!” The 3 remaining scout members yelled a battle cry.

The other getting what we were supposed to be doing followed along, “They are the prey and we are the hunters!”

“Our names won’t be remembered if we die so easily and I refuse to be forgotten! We’ll be written off less than worthless!” They began yelling battle cries, “Plead, beg, and cry but none will help you! You no longer live as cattle to the titans! Will you rise and join the battle?! Will you take your freedom back?! Will you fight in this war?!”

“Yes!” They chanted back

“Will you let them steal your freedom!”

“No!”

“Then channel all the rage and anger that’s swelling inside you and fight the boundary until we break through! And never hesitate! They did not hesitate so why should we?”

They screamed at the top of their lungs!

“Waging war with every single passing minute, we will march to victory no matter what the cost! We cannot be their prisoners! So let’s rise up again and fight until it’s over!”

“Hell yeah!”

“Every passing minute they must be slain at any cost and so we’ll offer up! We’ll sacrifice until our hearts have stopped! With our own hands let’s take a stand! We dedicate and sacrifice our hearts for humanity!” Me and the 3 other scouts screamed

“Wait what?” Both class 1-A and B deadpanned

“All that was lost, all the lives that were laid down was not in vain! Everything leads up to this moment!” We screamed out without both classes

“Shinzo wo sasageyo!” We finished with a salute.

“What do you mean by sacrificing our lives for humanity?” Todoroki looked at me seriously.

“This is war. And you will either die with honor or die a coward. Or you’ll survive to see another day. It’s your actions which will decide your outcome.”

Midoriya jumped in, “(L/n) not all of us want to die.”

“Of course, I understand everyone’s feelings but as a soldier, I’ve decided my life to fighting this war since I was 12, along with every single soldier fighting this war, we graduated when we were 15 and most weren't able to see past that age. However for me being an Ackerman meant that I excelled, when I was already 13 I began working in the Scott’s regiment. Which means that I have the most experience in war here. I’ve seen more people die than any of you here. So I suggest that you get over with it and help us evacuate the civilians. If not, run back to your families. I don't care.”

“(L/n), I get you but you can’t just drop all of this on us, just this morning we didn’t expect that all of this would happen but it did.” Speaking in tears Kirishima interjected

“This happened to us as well, but unlike you guys. Nobody was there to save us, so many lives were lost that day. And so many lives continue to be lost with every day this war continues.”

“You bitch! We also have families, do you not consider how we feel?! They could be dead!” Bakugo marched forward pointing his fingers at my chest, he looked like he was close to strangling me, yet unshed tears were clear as day in his eyes.

Giving him a sad smile, “Yes I get you, I watched powerlessly everyone I love die before me. But I don’t want that to happen to other children, so as much as possible. I’ll do my best to save as many people as I can.”

“And what if you die?” Todoroki questioned with clenched fist

“Then I will die with honor as I upheld my oath, protect and save humanity. To sacrifice everything until my heart stops beating. That is my duty and then after that I can finally rest in peace. I believe someone will carry out my death and bring us to victory. If I don’t die however, if others die, then their deaths will be on my shoulders and I’ll carry them to victory, even if I’m the last one standing.” The silence was loud besides from the screams of titans in the distance, “So let me ask everyone again, are you still willing to fight in this war? Last warning, only few and far between know that victory takes sacrifice. Only can they really see… See through offering up the price, our lives. If you think that your dreams come true easily then my friend you're in for a surprise because nothing in this world will come for free.”

“(L/n)-“ Iida began but I cut him off.

Walking towards Midoriya, “Deku, especially you of all people need to hear this. Foolish decision in this world, this illusion. Don’t be caught up in your reckless bravery. Or you’ll become a pawn to freedom, fighting in the chains that will hold you back. But if you move correctly, then checkmate. Victory is out there waiting. Once we win, you are not only freeing just your freeing lives but ours as well.” I gestured to me and the scouts then turned back to face everyone, “I’m counting on Deku to lead class 1-A, Iida-kun make sure to back him up and keep the class in order, do your best to make sure everyone survives this… Kendo as your class 1-B representative I expect you to lead your class, Phantom Thief back her up as well like Iida, and no figuring with 1-A this is a serious matter. I will lead my scouts of course and do my best to keep you all alive. But if I die or am unable to lead my scouts, I’ve decided that Todoroki will lead my scouts. If he refuses to take it though seeing as he has some resentment towards me or if he happens to die, Red Riot… Please take very good care of my scouts and try your best to bring them all home. Todoroki, if you do take up the position or not die of course, please believe in yourself as I do, I know we have our differences, you’ll have to excuse that for now. Let’s all be real friends after all this, okay?” This shocked Todoroki.

He couldn’t believe that you believed in him. Him of all people? Him who has been anything but kind to you? Honestly he just wants to go home and find his family, he’s so worried about his mom, sister, Natsuo, and Hell even his dad! But he knows he can’t go to them because the citizens are at a higher stake, he can only hope his mom and siblings are safe.

In fact as of when all of this started he was praying to all deities out there to save his family. It all felt suffocating, especially when one of those titans that almost killed him reminded him of Touya. Opening an old wound, he was going to freeze the titans mouth from before but he just couldn’t. Those eyes reminded him too much of his oldest brother. And because of that (Y/n) had to come save his ass.

“Are you still with me?” I asked, breaking Todoroki out of his thoughts

“Yes.” The scouts saluted to me

I looked at the class expectantly, “How do you expect us to say yes after all that?” Kaminari spoke out

“My speech isn’t really that great I’ll admit, however let me tell you the speech our commander told us when he was about to send his soldiers to their deaths. I think you’ll find it… Inspiring.”

I closed my eyes as a single tear fell from my face, this may be one of the most traumatic things I witnessed. I began to speak out as I reminisced about that moment. Managing to recall the exact words of Commander Erwin and every single thing that occured.

I replayed his words in my head, “There’s no point standing around, we'll only be showered by more boulders. Ready your horses on the double”

A soldier asked him, “Be honest, are all of us riding to our deaths?”

“Yes we are.” The Commander replied

The same soldier spoke up, “And since we’re dying anyway you’re saying that it’s better if we at least die fighting?” His voice cracked, on the verge of breaking down completely.

“I am.” Despite knowing what he was doing the Commander spoke calmly.

“Captain, isn't there anything else we can do for them?” I asked Levi

“Unless you wanna ride with them to their deaths as well, I suggest you stick with the plan.” Levi spoke calmly as well like the Commander.

“But wait… If we’ll die anyway then who cares what we do? We can just disobey your orders and it wouldn’t mean a thing, wouldn’t it?” The same soldier asked the Commander

“Yes, you’re precisely right. Everything that you thought had meaning. Every hope, dream, or moment of happiness. None of it matters as you lie, bleeding out on the battlefield. None of it changes what a speeding rock does to a body. We all die. But does that mean our lives are meaningless? Does that mean that there was no point in our being born? Would you say that of our slain comrades? What about their lives? Were they meaningless?” The Commander's eyes widened as rage filled him, a newfound motivation, “They were not! Their memory serves as an example to us all!” Walking to the middle of the crowd I began to yell out everything I could recall, “The courageous fallen!” I grabbed Todoroki’s shoulder, “The anguished fallen!” I moved onto Iida, then Midoriya, Bakugo, and everyone else who was still alive, after that I went back in front of everyone and screamed, “Their lives have meaning because we the living refuse to forget them! And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us!”

“BECAUSE MY SOLDIERS DO NOT BUCKLE OR YIELD WHEN FACED WITH THE CRUELTY OF THIS WORLD! MY SOLDIERS PUSH FORWARD! MY SOLDIERS SCREAM OUT! MY SOLDIERS RAGE!”

Taking a breath to calm myself down, another tear fell from my face.

“After that they all died. But they put their trust in us as their successors that we will continue fighting and their deaths won’t go to vain. If there’s anyone who can bring about change, it’s someone capable of giving up what matters most… People who are capable of abandoning their humanity when forced to rise above monsters. Those who can't abandon anything… Can’t change anything. So I’ll ask one more time… WILL YOU SACRIFICE YOUR HEARTS UNTIL THEY HAVE STOPPED AND FIGHT IN THIS WAR?!”

“… Yes.” One by one they finally agreed to fight in this war after Midoriya finally agreed to.

“If we survive this, I promise that from then on. We have a winning shot! If we make this alliance work, all of their deaths won’t be in vain! And I promise you this! If we survive all this, I’ll do my best to bring you all home!” This time it was the scouts who cheered the loudest at the mention of being able to go home.

Home… That was the trigger for everything, making everyone scream out at the top of their lungs. Gathering a lot of titans attention though they were far away. And so they began to run in our director at full speed.

Slowly opening the door to the closet, he saw you dive in further into the hoodie you were wearing, his hoodie. Your phone was thrown to the other side of the closet, a small hand mirror shattered but still intact to the frame, some blood was present on it as well.

You were always the type to be calm in every situation. Never letting your emotions get in the way, that was one of the things he admired about you. So what happened when you punched the mirror and threw your phone?

“(Y/n), are you al-“ He didn’t even have time to finish asking before you closed the closet door

“Leave me alone please, I don’t want anyone to see me…” Your voice cracked as you held onto the closet door shut

“Love, please we can talk this out. Just tell me what the problem is!” He pleaded, trying to pull open the closet door.

“No! Leave me alone!” Once he finally managed to rip the door open, he tacked you into a bear hug

“Just tell me what’s wrong, I hate seeing you in pain. It brings me pain as well…” He pulled down the hood and stroked the back of your hair, much to your dismay.

It seemed to make everything much more worse. You tried to pull away and pull back on the hood. Why was that. It took a good minute for Todoroki Shoto to figure out what was wrong with you. Wait when he touched your hair it was significantly different from before, significantly shorter in fact.

Cautiousy he pulled down the hold slowly, asking for your consent of course. At first you didn’t agree, but he asked so sweetly yhat you could deny your own boyfriend. Pulling back the hood, it revealed a much different hair than the one he was used to seeing everyday.

A part of him was missing your old looks and another part of him was just glad that it wasn’t really anything bad. He heard from his sister, Fuyumi that to most girls, hair is everything. So he understood a bit why you reacted so violently as you did before. Picking up your right wrist, he examined the cuts and blood dripping from your knuckles.

“I absolutely hate it. Despise it in fact!” You snarled, pulling in your hair.

It was safe for Shoto to say that this was probably the most broken and furious state he had ever seen you in. And as your boyfriend since your first year at U.A. he had seen a lot of your ugly sides.

“I hate the style, the colors, its length… I just hate everything about it!”

Shoto learned that he really one with words, instead he had his way with his actions. And so that’s exactly what he did. He pulled you into his arms and let you bawl out your eyes for God only knows how long.

You kept on ranting and ranting and ranting about how you told the hairstylist that what they did was wrong and you were hoping if they could find a way to fix it, but the stylist disapproved, not wanting to take the blame of being wrong. it only ended up in you getting kicked out of that salon palor.

Still now you were absolutely livid. How dare that stylist mess up your hair, you’ve been keeping this baby well cared for since you learned how to care for it properly and now what?! It was completely ruined. The thought alone wanted to make you die.

“Fuck I don’t what to do, I just want my old hair back!”

Speaking cautiously, “You know, your hair isn’t that bad. You still look cute in it…” Choosing carefully, “If you really don’t like it though, we can go to a better salon and get a better stylist to fix it.”

You kept silent for a while, “I’d like that actually, thanks for the compliment by the way, it does mean a lot.”

Kissing him on the cheek, he was just glad that he got to convince you to not be upset anymore over just some that could easily be fixed with a specific kind of hair quirk. Pulling you out of the closet, you both cleaned up a bit before telling the day off with a cuddle session.

Bakugo hadn't actually changed from the person he was back in their first year. He was still the same old jerk, albeit somehow even more. The only thing that really changed from him was how he cooperated more in group teamworks.

Maybe he shouldn’t have gone too far either, now not only does class 2-A hate him, but also his own. He could deal with all the shit he goes through with U.A.’s star class but how could his own class hate him? Him, for God’s sake?!

He wasn’t doing anything but defending the honor of his and his own class’, although he’ll admit maybe a tad bit too far… Now he was fucking suspended for a week, a lot of people also. How was that even his fault?! Bakugo started it, fucking Midoriya and Todoroki backed him up.

So he simply copied the ponytailed bitch’s quirk with a slap to the back of her head and created a taser, using it on Bakugo. Yeah, dumb move. He knows that, and doesn't need to be reminded. If only Bakugo had not said how he should just drop becoming a hero since he doesn’t even have his own quirk and he’s practically useless with having to rely on others.

To make things worse, he called him a copycat bitch. Now that one cut deeper than a knife, it was like pressing salt on an open wound. He could feel his heart clenched tightly at that damn comment. The adrenaline rushing through his veins like never before.

Just as he was about to sucker punch towards Bakugo’s face, Bakugo dragged class 2-B into it. Saying how much of an embarrassment they were that they couldn’t control him. In fact, class 2-A can’t even control Bakugo! How fucking ironic.

After that, all Hell broke loose. And it just started with him. Not only was Neito facing suspension, he was also facing the possibility of being expelled. Yeah, it was just that bad. If only he had kept his cool, if only he controlled his temper, if only…

If only he could change back time, he would. Now he’s facing the consequences of his actions. Now he’s so far in the dark forest that he’s lost. He finds a nearby large rock to rest on at least, sitting down on it he tries to calm down his fast breathing.

Tears finally flowed down freely from his face. He kept on huffing and puffing as the whimpers he let out wasn’t enough to express how much he was suffering right now. The world was practically closing in on him. The forest turned darker and more sinister, only having the light from the moon as his source of comfort. He was hyperventilating, that much was clear. And you being you, couldn’t help but want to help him.

“Shh, calm down…” I rubbed his shoulder gently as I pulled him into a soft hug

He was too disoriented and stuck in his own world to even realize that was happening that he clung onto you. But he was glad he did because after a while he calmed down.

After finally calming down and coming back to his senses, he froze up at the realization that he was holding someone. Pulling himself away from me, he stood up and stood his ground. A defensive pose struck out as he frantically tried to wipe away the tears from his eyes. So that he could see properly, he also didn't want anyone to see him as someone who was weak.

“Who are you?!“ He mentally cursed for his voice cracked, showing that he was weak.

A young looking girl appeared, she seemed to be a little bit younger than him. Keeping that in mind, she also looked pretty innocent and harmless. But if she was all that, then how come she was in the middle of the forest late at night?!

“Is that the way you should thank me?” The unknown girl playfully teased.

“Who are you?” Monoma growled pretending that he would attempt to use his quirk on her, when in fact he knew that the quirks he copied from before all wore off a while ago.

“Who are you?” He just realized that the girl was wearing a beautiful white and red floral kimono that looked ancient, “and what are you doing in my forest?” He also just realized how pretty she actually looked, “Your forest, don't the Pussycats own this place?!” He snarled

“I think you’ve wandered too far, dear mortal. You’ve crossed the borders of their boundaries a while ago. I’ve been watching over you since you stepped foot into my forest.” She suddenly turned serious this time, her eyes began to glow red as a powerful aura came upon her unintentionally forcing him to back up in fear, “Now answer my question, what is a human like you wandering around my territory?”

He stammered, holding his defensive stance even firmer as all his gut feelings pointed towards saying that he’d rather die than admit what happened before. Seeing as he was uncooperative and you didn’t have all night, you cracked your neck from side to side. Letting out a sinister smirk, you let yourself loose from your disguise.

Your beautiful kimono turned even more grander as its trail grew longer and longer. The ribbon tied around your waist grew bigger as its tails magically wrapped around your back to form a giant bow. Not only that but the entire color of the kimono changed as well, it was now mostly black but with a deep shade of red that had some floral design embroidered into the fabric itself.

Though all that was nice and all, nothing could compare to the beauty you truly revealed yourself to be. While still retaining all your natural and beautiful features, they were all accentuated to become even more gorgeous.

You also grew fox-like ears on top of your head, but that wasn’t the thing that drew him in the most. That particular thing that drew him in was so… Intriguing, unique, and completely unexpected. He was practically in a trance.

7 large fox tails sprouted out from your tailbone. You were a kitsune. And based on the 7 tails, you were a powerful one at that. So that’s why you referred to him as a mere mortal or human. That's because you were different.

Taking a deep breath he calmed down, and cleared his head. He hadn’t realized how stupid he was. Why was he so scared of you? He was a damn hero in training. And this could be his moment to prove himself both to his classmates and class 2-A.

He wasn't going to waste it, no matter what. Making a quick move he swerved around you strategically and tapped your back way too harshly. Activating his quirk, since you were an emitter type, he could easily copy it.

Well shit. He felt nothing, as though you were quirkless. But then again, quirk is still considered as a power, but I guess a different classification of power he couldn’t copy. You really were a kitsune.

He didn’t really believe in Kitsunes and other mythical creatures that his grandmother and mother would use to tell him as a child. However, based on the turn of events, he might have to just change his mind.

When he was still young, his grandma was this very superstitious woman. She taught him all about how there were creatures of the night who lived among us, lived before us in fact. His mother always taught him to never pay mind to his grandmother because she was starting to get delusional from her old age.

How he wished that he listened to his grandmother back then… Who knew an information like that would be so useful? No one except for his grandmother of course.

“Hey, don’t move anymore. You're gonna fall into the temple.”

“What-?!” He was able to finish before he fell down to steps leading to the temple

He muttered curses under his breath as he stood up. Patting away all the first from his clothes despite that having no such effect in helping to clean him up. A high pitched laugh rang throughout the place.

You jumped down from the high steps that towered over him. Landing right beside him perfectly, that your stance was even cooler than that of All Might, behind you the large red arc stood proudly. He was stunned, fuck it may be your powers that has such an effect over him as he can’t seem to gets you out of his mind.

“Need help? We can go inside the temple.” You giggled

Stuck in a trance he dumbly nodded yes. You pulled him up and pulled him towards the temple, an enormous innocent smile stretching out on your face. Not letting go of his hand, a sudden clearing appeared from behind you, the stars of the night shining bright without a single care in the world.

“I haven’t had any company in a long while, let alone one that is a human. I guess everyone has forgotten of this beautiful forest. I’ve missed it, the company I mean!” Pulling him inside the temple

If you thought the outside of the temple was gorgeous. You wouldn’t believe what was inside of it, absolutely stunning. No words could describe it, it was just absolutely breathtaking. And that was what really happened to him.

His periwinkle iris grew wide at the site, completely shaking to the core. It was fit for an Emperor, one would think.

“Hey, you wanna get out of this forest right but you don’t know the way?” You tapped him from behind, your smile faltering for a second

Still stunned at the sight of the temple, he was unable to respond, only turning around to meet your eyes but not replying to an answer.

“I’ll take that as a yes then.” Laughing at his dazed state, “How about we make a deal? I’ll lead out of this forest, but I get something in return.”

“N-No.” He spoke unsure

“Why?”

“You could make your deal twisted, I’ll navigate out of this forest myself.” He spoke now more confidently, when I’m reality he wasn’t

“Go ahead, I’m not stopping you. The one who’s stopping you would be the other creatures who live in this forest. You should be glad I was watching over you the moment you stepped into my territory, the other creatures would have done naughty things to you. Be thankful that I’m not asking for any payment in return for watching over you, mere human. Besides once you step foot into this forest you can’t get out, not without my guidance. You see, you still need me to lift the concealment spell for you to get out.” He kept silent, stunned as how the situation became clear that he was trapped all because of his stupidity, “So what’ll it be. He has the rest of our lives to decide!”

“… Rest of our lives?” Out of all the phrase you choose to emphasize that, making him question what you truly meant with that phrase

“Of course, as a Kitsune, I was given a gift of power different from those silly quirks of yours. Mine is more powerful! Also, since the Gods were so fond of me, they decided to give me even more gifts! You could say that I have a really charming personality!” She perked up happily

“What are they then?” Think rationally, if it still was a form of power perhaps he could copy it with his own quirk to some extent, so long as it wasn’t a built up type of quirk.

“Lightning, fire, the creation of illusions, and control over time!” She spoke proudly

“Creation of illusions?” Bingo, if he could copy it to some extent, he could escape.

Turns out that idea was a bad one. Putting the plan he made in his head for at least 5 minutes, he kept revising. Trying to make sure there weren't any flaws. Well sure at first there wasn’t any problem, he just had to use 100% of his quirk in order to copy at least one of your powers.

Which had worked, at first. Running out of the temple and into the forest he successfully managed to distract you by creating an illusion that he was there besides you, keeping on listening to whatever you were rambling on and on about.

As he reached a clearing, he found himself on top of a cliff. Overlooking the entire mountain, below it settled the camp where he was supposed to be staying. He supposed he had managed to lift the concealment spell since he was bearing your power of illusion.

“Boo!” You startled him, tackled him into a high from behind, your tails wrapping around his stomach.”You know, you can never outdo the doer?”

“What do you mean?! Unhand me you, fox freak!”

Uh oh. It seems like when Monoma finally found his usual charm and charisma. It was at a bad time. The phrase fox freak really seems to rub you in the wrong way. Like it cut your wounded heart even deeper.

Getting off of him immediately, you snarled at him angrily, your eyes glowing red, voice becoming disoriented, “Fox freak?! Are you kidding me?! And here I was offering to turn back time for you to fix back whatever that is you did! Fine, leave this forest, I don’t care!” He was completely furious, tears pricking at her eye

Time skip

He was able to actually leave that night, when he returned everyone was worried about him,even more so since he came back with teary eyes and dirt present on him, it was the first time they had truly seen him ruffled up, he did always like to be neat.

His class, who after realizing and looking past their anger finally defended Monoma and stood up for him against class 2-A since it was Bakugo who really started this fight.

It was decided that Monoma wasn’t going to be expelled. However he was still going to be suspended. It was still better than being expelled, he supposed. Everything was going to be fine, they all got through the hard part. What was holding him back now?

Well it was the emptiness in his heart, and the fact that he couldn’t get you out of his mind. He did truly find you pretty and amusing with your extroverted personality. Maybe you casted a spell on him, that’s why he couldn’t get you out of his head.

He had to consult someone, anyone really. He already came to the conclusion that he was missing you because he fell in love with you, it was sort of a love at first sight situation.

Not knowing what to do, he consulted his 2 best friends, Kendo and Tetsutetsu. Of course, they were having a tough time believing in him. Having thought that he might have been too sad that his imagination was playing with him. But Monoma knew the difference between illusion and reality.

And you were undeniably reality, no matter how much he really wished you weren’t. So, after a lot of convincing that he wasn’t hallucinating they came to the conclusion that you were raising a lot of red flags. But that could be from the years of being lonely.

According to Kendo, based on what you had said, you were older than you actually looked like. Basically, you could be a thousand years old yet be trapped in an 16 year old body because of your power, that either being creation of illusion or control over time.

Tetsutetsu also pointed out that throughout the whole time he was explaining you to them, he was sorta having this lovesick expression on him. Moreover, both Tetsutetsu and Kendo had noticed the unwavering blush and smile ever so present on his face. Monoma didn’t smile like that, it was always a cocky smirk that was usually present on his face.

He fell harder than they originally thought. They wanted to be super supportive for him really, they did. But… It was undeniable that the fact she wasn’t human means that they couldn’t be together. To further, she was also so much older than him obviously and if that wasn’t enough, they also pointed out how you raised a lot of red flags.

Based on what Monoma said you seemed to be possessive as fuck. And maybe a bit bipolar… Nevertheless, they suggested that he forgets about you as it wasn’t worth it. They were also scared if you had put him under some sort of spell, causing him to fall in love with you so quickly.

Whatever it was, he just couldn’t get your pretty smile out of his head…

I…

Love…

You…

This has gone too far, he had to see you! And so, just grabbing a hoodie, he wore it and bolted out of the camp. Having trouble navigating and forming a strategy as to how he was going to get pass the teachers patrolling in order to get to you, all the while still putting on his shoes.

When he finally was able to sneak behind all the teachers, he tried his best to navigate through the forest. But it was difficult. He didn’t know where he was going when he first came there as he was too busy trying not to cry to notice any of his surroundings.

And even if he did, he doubted he would have remembered any of it. All of the trees were hard to memorize, having the same distinctive feature as everything else.

When all hope was lost, deciding too just give up and do his best to navigate back to the camp. He smelled it, a faint burning smell of fire, something he took in a bit right after meeting you. He was close! He just needed to follow it and then he can finally find you.

Or more like it was the other way around. He just hopes that you’ll forgive him for insulting you. If not, he wouldn’t know what he’d do. He’ll just have to face you, he guesses and beg for your forgiveness.

“Look who’s back for more.” You stated, clearly agitated

“I’m not here to fight you or anything, I just wanted to apologize for insulting you.” He spoke sincerely

“Oh, that… Let’s just forget about that okay. Seems so long ago, don’t you think?” She gave him a fake smile that was hard to detect, “How about this. Let’s just have a cup of tea, I was already brewing one to begin with.”

The tea tasted great, and that’s saying something for him because he always hated tea with such a soft taste. This one, he’s never had one like it before, really. After that you guys dived deep into a conversation, it didn't really matter what topic it was because you kept on jumping from one to another.Monoma was sure of his feelings for you, however he wasn’t sure of your feelings for him.

“I want to make a deal.” He suddenly spoke out

A sly smirk appeared on your face, “What kind?”

“I want… To turn back time.”

“When exactly?”

“3 days ago, before you first met me.”

“Alright, that’ll be easy.”

Holding onto his wrist, he felt like he was falling. Colors of different kinds shone through, a blinding light kept blinking. He felt like he was going to pass out, black stars began to appear in his line of sight. But just as he was feeling that, it suddenly stopped.

He woke up, quicker than ever. To find himself walking with his class, moments before the fight occurred with him being almost expelled. He could change this, he could change everything. And that’s exactly what he did.

He somehow managed to be placed as the victim whilst Bakugo was severely punished. On the brink of expulsion had it not been for his amazing quirk. In fact, he wasn’t even in the hero course now, he had to drop to the general studies, while Shinso would take his place. He was so freaking happy! He never thought his dream to finally step on class 2-A would come true!

“I’ve done my part of the deal, I think it’s time I decided what I want.” She hugged him from behind

He gulped thickly.

“Stay with me. Or visit me often at least.” She smiled sadly

Curiously he asked, “Why?”

“I’m always alone. I hate it.”

“Alright then.”
