The Best Part Of Me

Our Blood

" You need to eat- please," The boy said to me as I sat in the corner of that dark and cold room, my knees to my chest. " I c-cant" I said out, my voice dry and scared, it had been days since I ate anything, I always threw it up. The boy in front of me sighed and sat down next to me, it was always warmer when he was close. " Alright" he said to me as he pulled me into his small body, forcing me to rest my head on his shoulder, he sighed as he felt my frail body in his arms. " I'm going to get you out of here, i promise"

I promise.. Those words stayed in your head late at night, when the man that always hurt you had left, left you alone to your thoughts again, to your bruises. I promise..

The boy would come in sometimes, he would always be out of breath when he entered the room, like he was running from something, I never dared asked, out of fear of him not coming back. He would bring me food, or water, sometimes nothing but his comforting words, it all meant more to me then I could ever say. I never asked his name, not until that night. 

                                                                                       ---

I woke up to yelling, i was in a dark room, but light could be seen from down the hall." Let her out of there!" I jumped up when I remembered what happened, the fear of being trapped rushed through my body as I panicked and clung onto the bars " Katsuki!" I screamed out, I backed up when I saw those blue eyes come into view, he had keys in his hands " please- don't keep me locked up" I whimpered out, he looked down at me and unlocked the door "It was for your own safety" he avoided meeting my eyes but I could see he wanted to. I pushed back him and looked around, when i found the direction of where Katsuki's voice was coming from I started walking.

" you have my quirk" he said to me and I stopped walking, not believing what hes saying " what?" I said and he finally made eye contact with me, it made me take a few steps back, he sighed once he noticed " I tested your blood, its almost perfectly identical to mine" he said and i laughed, not in a humorous way, more of a nervous way, what he was saying made no sense but suddenly my mind went back to that cold room, the boy that would sneak in, I never noticed really, the marks on his own arms, he was always more worried about me. It felt weird, seeing those memories so clearly now, small things looked over, or rather, couldn't be bothered to remember. 

I flinched when I felt his hands cover mine, I pulled away and backed away again " Don't touch me" I said and he looked down at the me " Im not going to hurt you" I started walking away " where is Katsuki, i need to see him" I said and he followed behind me " Im doing all this to stop him from hurting more children Octavia" once his name left his mouth i wanted to throw up, I turned around and shoved him " don't say my name, you have no right, dont act like you want to save people when you just attacked a bunch of kids!" I spat out, locking my jaw again, turning back around and pushing open a door. 

" Wait-" Once i opened the door, everyone stopped and looked at me, I was only paying attention to Katsuki, I ran over and kneeled down in front of him " get these things off him!" I shout, looking at dabi, his eyes were saying sorry but his face was saying no, i groaned and stood up, waking up to him and grabbing him by the collar of his shirt " I said, get those things off of him" I was dead serious, he sighed and walked over to Katsuki, unlocking the chains around him. I walked over to him and stood in front of him. Dabi looked visible upset, like he didn't understand why I wouldn't listen to him, why I wouldn't see reason. 

" O, let me at them" he said, growling and threatening to blow the whole place up. "What do you want with him" I asked to no one in particular. A blonde girl with a crazed look in her eyes walked over and put her knife to my throat, she was laughing but I didn't flinch "Im-" I cut her off, pressing my throat into her knife " I dont care who you are, what do you want with him" I said and she laughed again, pulling the knife away and looking back at the man with the hand over his face.

" I like her! lets keep them both" she said and skipped back over to the bar, sitting on top of it. " We want him to join us, of course" a scratchy voice said, it was coming from behind that stupid hand. I clenched my fist and walked towards him but Dabi stepped in and stopped me " Don't, if he touches you-" " I dont care!" I said shoving him away and igniting my flames, the sting of the flames on my fresh burns hurt like hell. 

"Interesting" I heard the same voice say, he walked up to me, unfazed and then looked at Dabi " get the vial" was all he said and he grabbed my wrist, I tried to pull away but I couldn't " One more finger and your whole arm is dust" he threatened and I gulped. I finally looked at myself I noticed the sleeves of my hero costume were cut, I growled lowly, knowing i would burn myself more If i used my quirk again. 

" Here" The blonde girl said as he handed him two empty needles, at the sight every part of me was hyperaware, fear filled every part of me. Even Dabi looked worried " You said you wouldn't!" Dabi said to the man and he just groaned " It's what master wants, to test it out, she is interesting" he said and i watched as the blonde girl walked over to Katsuki, she said something to him that made him stay still, his eyes never left mine, he was mouthing 'im sorry, its okay' to me over and over. Something was going on here, whatever Dabi found out about you, about your blood, made these people want to use you. 

Dabi had grabbed the empty needle and looked at me " We want to help you, find out why this is happening to you" there was a softness in his words, like he was just as curious " I got you" he said and those words stung, he took my arm gently in his hands and kept his eyes on mine as he softly put the needle in my arm, taking blood, I couldn't look at it, the memories way to painful. The feeling along was enough to make me want to rip my hair out and scream. When he was done he laid it in my hand. " Im sorry, you need to inject Katsuki with it" he said to me and I looked back at Katsuki

"Why? no" I said and the man with the hand over his face pushed me towards him " We need to know if its your blood or Dabis that is causing this to happen" he spoke to me and I walked over to Katsuki, he wrapped his arms around me, knowing i was at my breaking point, he could see it in my eyes, as soon as his warmth wrapped around my body I let out the tears I'd been holding in. I cried into him, silently.

 A part of me needed to know, I knew i was quirk less as a child, after what happened to me, i got a quirk, it happened so fast. I woke up and I couldn't control it, Katsuki had just got his too so his parents-- our parents were excited, thought the trauma had just added so much stress it slowed down the process of my quirk coming to me. 

I believed them, it made sense, the doctors believed it, there was no history of my parents, so there was no reason not to believe that my quirk was my own. It didn't feel like mine for a long time, like it was borrowed, out of control. Eventually I tamed it, made it my own, created something out of it that was unique. 

" Don't let them see it, be strong, it wont hurt me" he whispered to me and I nodded, i leaned back and he wiped my eyes, I look his arm and kept my eyes with his, he held onto my arm with his hand as i gently injected my blood into him, he gritted his teeth at the feeling and gripped onto me tighter. I could see the pain in his eyes, the pain i once went through, the fear of the unknown. 

I pulled away and threw the needle away as soon as it was empty. " Im sorry" I said to him as he fell back to sit in the chair, holding onto his arm, bruising started forming on his arms, around his veins. I was roughly turned around and a needle was shoved into my arm, I screamed out and my eyes met Dabi's he was staring at the blonde girl, who was injecting me " This is so fun" she said as she let the needle fall to the floor. I felt Katsuki's blood in my arm, forcing itself to mix with mine. My whole arm was burning, the same bruising covering my veins. 

It was so weird, like i could feel the warmth he always gave off from his quirk, racing through my body. It hurt like hell- I wanted to rip it out of my body, bleed it out till it didnt hurt anymore. 

I fell to my knees, clenching my arm in pain, It triggered a panic attack, it was the same feeling 7 years ago, my breathing was unsteady and i was digging so hard into my arm i was drawing blood. I tried to scream but I couldn't. I felt someone wrap their arms around me, not letting me hurt myself anymore. I could feel his arms trembling, his breaths were rapid like mine, god only knows what this was doing to him. 

I hunched over so my forehead was pressed against the cold floor, my whole body feeling like it was on fire as I let out a painful scream. It could only be described as years of pain and fear being brought up and screamed out.
