Crush

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. It was strange. I normally just woke up whenever I wanted. I never had plans so why would I wake up. My body refused to move when I tried to get out of bed. It was unfair how whenever I need to get up suddenly my bed felt so comfortable. I eventually heaved myself out of bed but flinched when my foot touched the cold ground. However, I didn't have slippers so I would just have to grin and bear it. I practically ran to the rug in front of my couch. A rush of relief fell over me. I silently cursed the person who owned my apartment for not putting the carpet in. It was especially cold since it was almost winter. I hit my hip against the corner of my coffee table. I winced in pain but it was actually a good thing. I had been so caught up with trying to stay warm I had totally forgotten what I was supposed to be doing. I ran back to my room and put on the clothes I had set aside to wear. Thankfully, I had packed the night before. If I hadn't there would be no way for me to be ready on time. I put a pop-tart in the toaster and poured myself some instant coffee. Not an ideal breakfast but it gave me enough energy. I heard a honk coming from outside.  A quick glance at my phone told me I was late. I threw the rest of my breakfast in the trash and grabbed my stuff. I saw a van in front of my apartment. I squinted to try and make out who was driving but I didn't recognize them. Dabi climbed out of the back followed by Toga and Shigaraki. Toga ran toward me and jumped into my arms, knocking me to the ground. 

"Toga. What are you-" my voice trailed off as I looked down at Toga's face. She was smiling innocently. It was a very strange thing for someone to do but I could tell Toga had no bad intentions. She just seemed really excited to see me again. That made my heart practically explode. It had been a while since I had even hugged someone. It was actually nicer than I remember. My body temperature skyrocketed and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach growing. Even though I was tightly hugging a blood-crazy psychopath I felt strangely safe. That or I just everything no longer mattered to me. 

"It's so great to see you again," Toga said, as she got off me and sat up. I voice in the back of my head was screaming at me. But it was drowned out. All I could do was stare into Toga's eyes. She was blushing wildly but that was kind of normal for her. I suddenly snapped out of my daze and looked away from Toga.

"Yea it's good to see you too. Sorry, you kind of shocked me by jumping on me," I replied finally. 

"That's just Toga being Toga," Shigaraki said. I nodded. Calm down. You need to get a hold of yourself, I told myself. Shigaraki said himself that this was just Toga being Toga. It had nothing to do with me. Toga and I had nothing special. I needed to get over it. I shook my head to try and get my thoughts straight. 

"Is this all of your stuff," Dabi asked. He looked very unimpressed, almost amused. I was insecure about my financial situation. So his comment affected me more than it should have. But I wouldn't let it piss me off. I tried to make a snarky remark but Toga beat me to it.

"At least she has stuff Dabi. All you have is trauma and those raggedy-ass clothes," Toga said. It shocked me because it seemed out of character for Toga.

"No need to get so offended. I wasn't even talking about you dip shit," Dabi defended. 

"Thanks, Toga. You're right Dabi does have some trashy clothes," I said. Toga giggled. 

"Stfu. You're literally wearing the most boring outfit ever," Dabi said.

"We should go shopping! Thanks for the idea Dabi!" Toga exclaimed.

"You're not welcome."

"I don't really think that's a good idea," I said. There was no way I could afford a shopping spree at the time. 

"Wait, I can cover the cost," Dabi said.

"Nvm. Looks like we're going shopping," I announced.

"Give me a second," Dabi said. He got out his phone and walked away. I think it was so we couldn't hear him but I certainly heard him loud and clear.
