*Trigger warning, mentions of an abusive relationship*

I tapped on the screen, unlocking my phone as I started to feel really sick from within.

"Hey, little mouse. Don't you think it's a bit too late to be outside? Why are you not at home?"

I took Toga's hand in mine in absolute fear. All the memories coming back, bumping against the corners of my brain. I started trembling uncontrollably.

Another message.

"I know you're there, little mouse, you should answer. It's not polite to leave someone on read"

The phone hit the grass. I'd dropped it. I was starting to hyperventilate.

"Hey" Toga exclaimed seeing as I was starting to lose control. "Hey, Fuji, it's okay, you're with me. Breathe, okay?"

She wrapped her arms around me and, even though I wanted, needed, her to do that, it felt even worse. I suffocated.

She reached for the phone and read the messages on the unlocked screen.

Another message.

"Look, little mouse, you better start behaving, you don't want me to go looking for you"

Another message.

"I'm really sorry for interrupting your date, by the way, but really, you should just...

Come.

Home"

I took a deep breaths and cleared the tears off my face. 

"I have to go" I told Toga looking at her deadly serious in the eye.

"Are you mad? No" She answered worriedly.

"I really do have to go. I'll be back for school tomorrow, don't worry. Do you mind telling Kami?" I hurriedly muttered as I started to get up and walk away.

"Sora!"

I could hear her calling out to me, but I didn't listen. I was too busy typing the words "I'm on my way"

I had to jump the fence (amazing security system), they probably wouldn't have let me go through the front door. 

The streets were dark. They felt lonely, there was barely anyone there at the moment.

I got to my house pretty fast, since I already knew the path by heart.

My shaky hands took their time to finally introduce the key in the lock. 

I turned it. 

I opened the door. 

I saw him.

He hadn't changed. He still wore his sweater, his bracelet, his glasses, his red hair...

"Hi, little mouse. It's been a while, hasn't it?" he said softly with a raspy voice.

I was frozen, terrified. Every part of my body was telling me to turn and run the other way. But I couldn't, I was paralyzed.

He slowly aproached me, and my feet felt glued to the floor. But he took my wrist and pulled me inside the house, proving me wrong. He then closed the door and...

And he hugged me.

He smelled like mint and dust. Like always.

I felt tears trail down my cheeks, my hitched breathing getting faster. 

I hated when he touched me...

"You haven't even said hi and you're already crying? You must've missed me a lot!" he joked walking towards the kitchen.

I didn't miss you.

"Hi" I muttered with a broken voice.

He filled two cups of tea wit a teapot. I didn't know I had a teapot.

"So you do speak! Now, are you going to explain what were you doing outside so late at night?" he smirked sipping the hot liquid from one of the cups.

What are you doing here?

Shut up.

"I was in school" I answered.

"So late? Why would you be there so late? Are you lying to me?" he faked being offended.

"I'm not lying!" I exclaimed nervously. "I promise, I'm not lying..."

"Relax, for god's sake"

"I have to stay during the night. We all do. I-... Some students were kidnapped and these are part of the new securities measures" I explained a bit more confident.

"You're in UA?" he asked silently, putting the pieces together "Are you fucking serious?"

"Y-yes"

He took a deep breath.

"Little Fujikawa H-"

"It's Sora" I interrupted him.

He scoffed. 

"Wow. I thought you hated heroes?" he asked, putting an arm around my waist and leading me to the couch.

Don't touch me. Please, please, stop touching me.

"I-I changed my mind" I lied.

 "Amazing, didn't know someone could lie to so many people like that. What am I supposed to tell to the rest?" I stayed silent. "Anyway. So who was that girl you were with?"

"How did you know I was with her" I said avoiding eye contact.

"That's something you don't need to know"

"She's my girlfriend" I answered his question defiant.

I could see the pain and surprise briefly sting him, before he went back to his expression-less face.

"And I'm going back with her tonight"

"No you're not"

"Yes I am" 

I wasn't thinking.

"I love her"

"No you don't"

I wanted to hurt him.

"You really thought I was going to be yours forever? You really thought I was going to need you forever!? You really fucking thought I would keep on being your scared little mouse for the rest of your life!?" I smiled getting up from the couch.

"Shut up, Fujikawa"

A shiver ran down my spine.

"You're choking, man, you're fucking pathetic"

"I said shut up! You're a fucking lier! A useless fuck! You always were! You're unlovable. I took you in out of pity. And deep down you know that, Fujikawa. I know you do. I know you, better than anyone, anyone"

I barely noticed that I had activated my quirk.

He was sent flying until his back hit the wall and he let out a pained cry.

And then I ran, faster than ever, out of the house.

Okay, I'm back for now. 

Please take care of yourself.

Bye-bye
