Natsou stood in the doorway and watched his brother-no brothers unfuse. A blinding flash of light and then there was two boys on

the floor passed out.

Natsou wouldn't say he was attentive or anything but he had noticed the very distinct lack of twins in the house over the years. A month or two after akira had gotten his scare the twins had disappeared.

Natsou wasn't stupid he knew Shouto was them but he didn't want to think about that. The fact that Shouto was a fusion of his little brothers,the fact that Shouto never really spoke,the fact that Shouto had the perfect quirk,the fact that Shouto said we,the fact that Shouto almost never unfused.....even in the house.the fact that he couldn't save his little brothers from their father.

"What happened?"

"Aren't we supposed to be at school?"

"Wait.........who's piloting?kira!....wait what?!"

"Dude....we..what?"

Natsou turned his head towards the twins.they both blinked at each other for another moment then turned toward him.

"Natsou"

"Natsou" they said in unison

Akira blinked then looked back at his twin. Haruki turned away from his twin and looked up at natsou.

"Are we Shouto or-?" Natsou swallowed hard and looked away from his face. It wasn't 'are we unfused' it was 'are we Shouto' as if all they were was shouto.

"Unfused" he said not looking at them. Akira gasped and haruki gupled.

"Har lets take the day off! We never unfuse and i think we need a break"

Akira widdled and haruki grimced.

"Kira i would love to but you know we cant" haruki stated firmly.

"Yesss but father isnt here and i just want an hour or two" akira said. Haruki grasped his twins hands and looked deep into his eye. Natsou walked ack a bit,the moment felt so tender and sencer that he felt quite out of place.

"Kira what if he comes back? What will he do? He'l hurt us,he'll hurt shouto,he will relise we arent perfect and try again,he will bring mother back and have another child,we will have to watch that happen to our younger sibling....we cant"

Akira looked sad,resighned and then mad. He inhaled a big gust of air,ready to argue but natsou cut in. natsou started at haruki with wonder and grife,the fact that he had learned at such a young age what would happen was horrible. He had relsied that if he wasnt enough father would just try again. The amount of pain and stress on them was to much for natsou to even comprehend. He had been lucky enough to have a quirk that was no wear near what father had wanted,but the twins had had to get trained for their whole life.

"So what happened?" natsou asked hoping to delay an argument and understand his siblings just a little more. They looked up at him and grimcid and looked back at each other.

"What did happen?" akira asked and looked haruki who rubbed his forehead.

"Oh we had a fight!" haruki said all excited for a moment then realised what his words ment.

Natsou held in a little giggle at the look on his face a moment after he said it.

Akira nodded and hummed.

"Oh i got it, soooo we were class and i was piloting and then we started to argue and then we started yelling.this made shouto feel bad as our form started to fall apart." akira surmised.

Haruki nodded

"The fact that we held out until we got home is amazing but now it dosent matter because we have to go back" haruki added impressed with himself but stressed.

Akira sighed and shook his head.

"Please haruki,can we just have five more minutes? I just want to be me for five minutes" natsou was pretty sure his heart broke just the tinnitus bit. Natsou had never heard that tone of voice come out of akira,he was used it just being flat or angry but now...the pain. Haruki looked up at him and sighed.

"Five minutes in our room and then were back ok? We cant do this again so enjoy it" akira nodded vigorously and dashed off to their room. Haruki looked up at him.

"Thank you for picking us up,the amount of damage that would have been done if... well thank you" natsuo nodded and watched as haruki made his way down the hall and to his room.

That was the last time he saw them unfused.

Akira looked around their room with a sparkling eye,yes eye. His damaged eye had eventually been forced shut by the scar tissue around it. Did he care? No, he was terrifying and stong,he could handle it. Shouo could see out of both eyes but could only see vague shapes out of his left eye because full visobilty would be to much. One broken eye plus a good one only got you a better broken one with less problems. The skin around his eye had gone almost completely numb too. The only thing that really got fixed with their fusion was their hearing. Akira could almost properly hear out of his left ear after he got scarred. He couldn't hear everything but he could hear most and that was fine but the fusion had just given them slightly below average hearing. That might have seemed like a boring improvement but it was like going from a 4/10 to and 8/10. Now that he was just akira he was back to just his body's normal limitations. One bad eye and an ok ear.

It was a little weird after not being able to sense much from his left but it was fine because he was AKIRA. He was himself for a five minutes and he was going to enjoy it! Haruki came in a minute after him and looked at him up and down.

"Were shorter now hunh?" akira nodded gleefully.

"Can we take a nap?" akira asked. Akira may have sounded REALLY boring but he knew it wasn't safe to do much else in their room. He was emotionally exhausted and knew Haruki was too. Haruki nodded and walked to their bed. Akira sat on his bed a moment after haruki. He was slower due to being so off balance. Haruki got into the cover and akira slipped in after him.haruki wrapped his arms around akira and sighed.

"We haven't gotten to cuddle for a while hunh?" akira asked,haruki chuckled.

"It's nice to have my own personal heater," haruki said smugly. Akira gasped in mock offense

"I feel so betrayed, dear brother of mine! I thought you were on my side" akira said with as much flar as he could muster.

" I am on your side, the side that is warm and keeping me from freezing this bed" haruki offered.

Akira sighed and burrowed just a bit deeper into their blanket.

The yelling woke them up. A booming voice full of spikes and venom.

" WHY ARE YOU UNFUSED?"

Haruki wrapped his hand around his brothers,he tried to fuse but he was too panicked.

"SHOUTO!" father summoned some of his fire and walked forward.

"YOU USELESS CHILD,YOU ARE TO NEVER UNFUSE! GET OFF THE BED NOW!" he seethed. Akira scrambled off the bed and fell on his face. His sense of balance must be far more off than his. Haruki was used to subpar hearing and vague bits of sight from his left eye so adjusting to perfect vision and hearing was weird for him too.

Haruki helped his brother off the floor. His legs shook as their father shouted for half an hour. Finally their father had stopped talking and took a steptowards them. The low flam in his palms flickering with heat. He puched both of stomachs and left. They bent forward and cough tring to breather again. The fire had left a fist shaped burn on his body,he had no doubt that akira had the same.

It took an hour before they were calm enough to fuse again. It wasnt safe to unfise anyware it seemed.
