Hi everyone. This is the ninth chapter to my fanfic. Hope y'all enjoy it.
______________________________
Kiyo and I worked on our project, discussing ideas on how we could improve it, when my phone buzzed.

Hey honey. Is the class trip over? And could you get the mail please? Love you.

Yep it's over. I'll grab it. Hope work is going well.

I sighed as I put my phone back in my pocket, and stood up. "I'll be right back. I need to grab the mail." I said to Kiyo. He nodded, glancing at me for a second, then returning to his work. I hesitated for a moment, and he looked up at me. He laughed. "What?" I asked. "Nothing." He chuckled, before looking back down again. "Oh. Would you mind bringing my the kwan dao back out? I wish to study it." I nodded.

I quickly went to the mailbox, and grabbed all the letters and bills. Returning to the training yard, I grabbed the kwan dao and hooked it to my jeans before returning to the table. I flicked through everything, before coming to a stop at a black envelope, with a strange logo on it. I opened it, and a piece of folded clean white paper fell out, with a written message on it.

We're coming for you all. If you try and go to the police we will not hesitate to kill you and your entire family, along with Korekiyo.

My face paled, and I glanced up at Kiyo. He looked up at me. "What's wrong?" I moved over to him, and gave him the letter. His eyes widened slightly, but other than that he seemed to have no expression change. "This is serious?" He asked. I nodded, face still white. "How do you know?" "W-we used to receive them. And we didn't think much of it. T-then...." The memory of my brother dying appeared in my head, playing itself over and over.

"Then what?" Kiyo asked. "Did you see the picture in the main room, with four people in it?" He nodded. "The guy with black hair and hazel eyes, he was my other brother, Yasari." I explained, beginning to shake. "Was? Why was?" Kiyo asked. "H-he was shot to death. R-right in front of me. I watched him die because of this." I pointed to the letter, stammering. "It's going to be alright." Kiyo said, wrapping his arms around me, holding me tightly. After few minutes, where I had calmed down, I sat down with him.

"I'm sorry for your loss. I lost a sibling as well." He said, dryly. "Really? Who?" I asked. "My older sister. Her name was Ane(this is a fictional name). She was a horrible person. She would, she wou-" he was suddenly cut off as he began to tremble. "Kiyo? What's wrong?" I pulled him over to sit on my bed(no you dirty minded fucks there isn't gonna be any smut in this chapter). "S-she did such horrible things, she manipulated me, it was terrifying." I wrapped my arms around him tightly. "Kiyo she's not here. You're with me." "I know she isn't, because she died as well." He responded. "Kiyo, I'm sorr-" He cut me off. "Don't be. She was a horrible person."

He pulled me closer, nestling my head into his shoulder. "It's going to be okay," I said into his coat. He chuckled. "Kukukukuku. You're a thing of beauty, Horiuchi." My laugh was muffled, as were my next words. "How so? I'm no Headmaster Naegi. I'm not any Ultimate Hope." He pulled me away, his eyes staring into mine. "You're helping me right now. I've always had panic attacks like this and I haven't had anyone to help me through them. Until now." I laughed.

"It's been the same for me. My parents did, for a while, but then they just fell out of it. I have nightmares every night of him." I said. "It's hard, isn't it? To see his face over and over again." Kiyo stated. I nodded. "Well don't worry. Like you said to me, it will get better."

(To everyone who's lost a sibling, I extend my condolences. I have a sibling, and I would feel so heartbroken if I lost them.)

"Do you know how many times I've heard that?" I said. "I've heard that so many times, it's become like a swear word to me. I just hate it." "My apologies. I didn't know it would offend you." As we looked up at each other, I quickly pulled down his mask and kissed him. "Like you said." I pulled away. "Don't apologize." I kissed him again. He pulled his mask back up, turning pink. He wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me on top of him, so we were now facing each other while I was straddling him. "Kiyo." I said, my face turning red from embarrassment.

"What?" His voice turned sultry as he pulled me closer, so we were now inches apart. I laughed. "Why did you do this?" I asked. "Anyways, this thing," I gestured to the kwan dao, "Is still on me." "Ah. May I?" Kiyo asked, his eyes lighting up. I slid off him, detaching it off my waist. "Wow. Ruined a nice moment for this." I teased as I handed it to him. He unfolded it and examined it for a few minutes, asking questions, and then he handed it back to me. As he was getting up, he turned to me, and gave me another kiss.

"Have a good night, Horiuchi." He said, slipping his mask back on. I laughed, and then waved goodbye as he walked out.
