Our Crimson Flame (DabiHawks)

Prologue end

"Dabi, huh," Keigo mumbles to himself.

The two boys lay in the twin sized bed together, their arms behind their heads as they stare at the ceiling.

"Kind of a weird name."

He looks over at Keigo, his eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Are you my friend?"

Keigo smiles over at him, a light blush in his chubby cheeks. "I hope so."

"Can I trust you," he asks, sounding more serious.

Keigo softens, nodding. "You can tell me anything."

The boy looks back up at the ceiling, letting out a shaky sigh. "My real name is Touya Todoroki."

Keigo turns to his side, smiling at Touya. "That's pretty. It suits you."

Touya blushes weakly, his eyes meeting Keigo's. "You can't tell anyone my real name. Please. Can you promise me that?"

The blonde holds up his pinky. "I swear I won't tell a soul."

The boys lock pinkies for a moment, both smiling.

This was the start of a life long bond between the boys.
They did everything together.
They ate together.
They trained together.
They slept together.
They were the best of friends...

But like all friends, they can sometimes grow apart with age.
