KIRISHIMA E. / ask sent in :
Dust and debris fills his vision and his fist swings punching into the figure that if hides landing an impact. The force clears the dust and he watches as the hero is forced backwards, back hitting the building opposite in a blur of black and yellow, sparks crackling. Sentinel stands tall and lips split in a vicious, jagged grin as he steps in to finish his mission-
Eijirou wakes in a cold sweat, breath erratic as realisation sets in. He'd had his suspicions and fragments of memories had only heightened them, but this? This confirms it. Sentinel - the villain's shield and battering ram, the figure that had replaced Gigantomachia - was him. Frozen features depict his shocked and horrified expression and then he jerks into movement, limbs tangling in the sheets as he dives for the bathroom the taste of bile in his throat. He's a monster. He'd tried to kill his friends worked with the league -
Panic rises and he can't breathe through it, ears ringing with realisation, hunched over on cool tile. He doesn't know how long he's there - time has no meaning to him- but eventually he finds the strength to drag himself upwards, ignoring the mess of his bathroom stumbling towards the bed. It's his phone he reaches for, hitting the speed dial for the only one he wants to call. So much for giving him a break from caring for him.
"Kai... I remember..." he breathes in a hoarse sob, shaking as he listens for his lifeline. "I remember what I did." The phone drops from his hand as sobs shake his body, curling in on himself. Monster, his mind hisses. Weak his doubts remind him. What kind of hero tries to kill his friends? / @resolutepath
KAITO WOULD BE lying if he said he didn’t know this day was coming. the way that ei had slowly began to remember everyone was slow and painful -- katsuki was first, then keisuke. class 1-a had done their best to ease eijirou into remembrance by going one by one into the common room where ei sat on the couch ( kaito BESIDE him, as always ). and now -- ?
SLEEP ELUDES him for the hundredth time, even after eijirou had attempted to push kaito out of his dorm room, stating something along the lines of “ i’ll be FINE. ” and “ you need to sleep too. ” and then he’d shut the door, leaving kaito alone out in the hallway for a few beats. perhaps this was eijirou’s way of FORCING himself to get better -- to not have kaito around him at all hours and try to weather this storm on his own. ( but he didn’t HAVE to ! ) kaito wanted to say. and, more quietly, that kaito wasn’t sure he could handle it on his own, either.
SO WHEN he’s half - asleep in the support labs as he works on some long - forgotten math homework and his phone rings, kaito almost immediately answers. it’s the voice on the other end that makes him SNAP back to action. ( “ kai ... i remember ... ” ) eijirou had said, his voice cracked and filled with tears. and the older brother in him doesn’t stop RUNNING until he reaches eijirou once again.
FINDING HIM on the floor like that ? kaito pauses for half a second, before crouching by him and attempting to get him up. the sobs from his younger brother causes his heart to SINK, and he’s fast to pull eijirou almost into his lap, letting him SCREAM or cry or do whatever he needed to to get all these lost emotions out. ( it was a matter of TIME before this happened ) kaito reminds himself. but that doesn’t make the reality of the situation any better.
“ EI... ” he whispers, chin resting on top the other’s head. “ eijirou, listen to me. that WASN’T YOU. ” kaito pulls a bit away, forces his twin to look at him, even with his tears and sobs and anguish. “ you didn’t do anything. everyone knows that and no one blames you. we’re all just happy you’re SAFE. ”
