The New Student(Omegaverse)

Hope(33)

[Dabi's POV]

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't surprised that Shoto would figure out who I am, but I'm most surprised that he would let it slip. He's always been so careful, yet he couldn't control it, and now I don't know what to do.

Shoto had passed out soon after he had hugged me, so I can't ask how he found out, and it's honestly not my top priority.

I look over my shoulder to see Shoto fast asleep on my shoulder. His head was resting on me as he snuggled close, his legs were tucked against his chest with his arms on top of his knees, his breaths came out slow and long, and he just looked generally in peace for the first time in months.

I decide to adjust him so that his head could rest more comfortably on my lap. It hurt like a bitch to move, but I wanted him to at least sleep well in this hell. He lightly groaned as I moved him, but he was able to find a comfortable position on my lap. I run my fingers through his hair gently, and he lightly whimpers as I do so. "Shhh, it's okay, Shoto. It's just me," I reassure as I move my hand to rub his back. It's a bit difficult to with the chains, but I managed to do it just enough for him.

He began to shiver from the cold of the cell, so I began rubbing his arm to try to warm him up since I can't use my quirk to heat us up. It kinda helps, but there's not much else I can do in these conditions.

I set my head back against the wall as I keep my arm wrapped around Shoto. I can feel blood dripping down from my face where tears would normally come from.

I'm quite pathetic. Crying when I don't have the right to do so.

This is all my fault. I should have just stayed with Shoto instead of letting my anger take control. I left and I still didn't even beat that damn Endeavor.

At least he's rotting in hell now.

I feel like screaming, but then it would wake Shoto up.

It's burning in my throat, and it makes my chest feel so heavy. I can't even think straight anymore. All I can feel is frustration. It's killing me inside, and I can't do anything to let it out.

I'm so weak! What am I doing here! Why did I drag Shoto into this mess. He was my responsibility as my younger brother, and I couldn't protect him.

Can I just die? I don't deserve to live, so why am I here??

A sudden whimper comes from Shoto.

SHIT! I was letting my pheromones take control!

[Third Person]

Dabi began stroking his brother's hair as he sent out calming pheromones, "Shhh, it's going to be okay."

Dabi's heart suddenly ached in his chest. Who was he kidding? Nothing was okay in this situation. They were both being held against their will by Shigaraki and the League of Villains. It's been three months and there's been no sign of hope for their escape. They were both just stuck. Both mentally and physically.

"I'm so sorry, Shoto."

Dabi rested his head against the concrete wall, but as soon as he did, he felt Todoroki stirring awake.

The dual haired teen slowly began to flutter his eyes open. His head was pounding in a splitting headache. His eyes were stinging as he felt tear streaks trailing down his cheeks. His body was warm, and it was resting on something comfortable......comfortable??

Todoroki's head shot up from where he was laying down, and he collided with Dabi's chin.

"Agh!" The teen yelled in pain as his hands rubbed the area that was banged. It felt like a pulsing pain that was warm. His heart was racing in fear of being taken back to that room again.
