The royal twins

17

After I got washed and dressed, Kiri and I walked back to camp. Shoto and Ochako were awake, digging through our bags for breakfast.

"We're running low on things to eat," Ochako said.

"There's enough food to last another day," Sho said.

"We're two days from the village," Kiri said. "I think you should be able to make it work."

I nodded. "Yea. I think we'll be okay. We'll be in the village for a while until we find the girl."

"Are you sure Dabi isn't just sending us to the most remote village in the kingdom so that he can attack home?" Shoto said.

"Father knows about him because of the letter we sent. I'm sure Natsuo has extra protection around the kingdom."

Sho nodded. "True. Still, are you sure we should trust it?"

I put my towel and old clothes into a bag and zipped it closed. "Dabi seemed serious about it. I think we should look into it. If there is someone named Chisaiki Kai in the village, then we know he's not lying."

"He could've given us more information, though."

"Doubt it," Kiri said. "Out encounter didn't allow much talking."

"How so?" Shoto asked.

"Doesn't matter," I said before I walked over to Katsuki and plopped down on his lap. "WAKE UP!"

"SHIT!" Katsuki exclaimed in surprise. "Dammit, ____," he grumbled.

"Morning sunshine." I grinned at him.

He rolled his eyes and pushed me off of him. "Asshole."

"Fuck you!"

"When?" Katsuki said with a smirk.

"I-"

"In your dreams," Shoto said before he shook Izuku awake. I crawled over to Shinso and poked him. "WAKE UP!"

He didn't move. I stood up and jumped on him. "WAKE UP!"

He slowly opened his eyes and glared at me. "How dare you wake me up," he hissed.

I smiled at him. "We gotta get going soon." I stood up and stretched before I dusted the dirt off of my pants.

~~~~~....~~~~~

I held Shoto's hand and swung our arms. "It's so quiet."

"Well, what are we supposed to talk about?" Shinso said.

I shrugged. "Dunno."

"When did you guys get boring?" Katsuki said.

"What the fuck? Do you want me to perform for you to entertain you?"

"Yes," Katsuki said.

"How?"

"Dunno, you're the performer."

"I'm not a performer!"

"Don't you still owe him three days of doing anything he tells you to?"

"I- Shinso!"

He chuckled.

"Oh yea, I do," Katsuki said. "I'll save it, though."

I groaned loudly. "So bored."

"We're not too far from the village just relax," Shoto said. "We can go a while without talking."

"Two days?! I can't."

"We could talk about why ____ and Kirishima went to the lake together this morning."

"Mina!"

"What? I'm curious."

"You did what?!" Shoto and Katsuki exclaimed.

Kiri shrugged. "I needed a bath and she came with me. There's nothing else to it."

"Oh, really?" Mina said. "Bummer."

"Did you see anything?" Shoto asked Kiri.

He shook his head. "Nope. Totally didn't see ____ naked."

Shoto glared at him. Kiri glanced to the side and took a step back. "Uh... anyways? Why don't you tell us another royal story?"

"Or we could talk about Toya," Katsuki casually said. Shoto and I froze.

"How do you know about Toya?" Shoto asked.

"____, you didn't tell him?" Kiri said.

"Tell me what?"

"Last night, ______ had a nightmare. What are YOU talking about, Kirishima?" Bakugo said.

"Who's Toya?" Ochako said.

"Our older brother," I said.

"Why are you bringing him up now?"

"____ had a nightmare," Katsuki repeated.

"But, did something trigger it?" Izuku asked.

"I-"

Shoto looked at me. "I thought we didn't keep things from each other?"

"There was never a good time to bring it up," I mumbled. "What was I supposed to do? Hey, Sho. Today, for a moment, I thought someone who's been killing innocent people, someone who is a threat to our kingdom, is our older brother. For a moment, Dabi looked exactly like Toya, especially the eyes." I blinked back tears and ran my hands down my face. "The only reason Katsuki knows is because he was there, same with Kiri. I didn't have the heart to say anything just yet."

"___," Shoto mumbles before he pull me into a hug.

"I'm good," I mumbled before I pulled away. "We have a little girl to save. Let's not worry about that right now."

"Right!" Mina exclaimed. "Let's go save the girl!"
