Ashes Take Flight

CHAPTER 9: Hell Starts

Touya's POV:

"So what do you think of that Dabi?"

I turned my back to him and threw a wash rag his way.

"Clean the blood off before a carnivorous plant smells it."

"Aww were you worried about me. How thoughtful you are."

My face begins to feel hot. So I quickly lay down to get some sleep. As I know tomorrow will be hell.

^Shit shit shit! I really do like him!^

Keigo's POV:

I heard him whimper before falling asleep. The sound was so adorable that I almost started to chuckle. As it seemed out of character for him.

^i hate that we'll only have a short time together, but I'll always charish moments like these.^

I prepared his training areas for tomorrow before falling asleep. The moment birds start chirping. I woke him up by pouring water on his head.

"Wake up Touya! You can't be resting through your training."

The moment the cold water hit his hair. It started turning white.

" it really does look like snow. Wow!"

I was in aww at the sight of it's color in person. Just as I was about to touch it. He grips my wrist and glares at me.

"Don't touch it or else I'll kill you."

"I don't see the big deal on why you hate it. It's not like it's red like your father's hair."

"How do you know about who my real father is?"

^i just fucked up didn't I? Guess I have no other choice now.^

"You see I'm actually-"

"You don't have to say. I already know. The scars on your back gave you away. Not to mention your movments,  fighting skills, and name. The man who raised me said to protect you by not killing birds. I figured you had to have a tragic story since I could see holes in the plot. So I waited until we could meet to talk Icarus hawks, also known by his mortal name, Keigo Takam-"

"You mustn't say my full name, or she might hear you."

"Who the goddess who Trapped you as a god?"

"Yes currently we're being watched by her children and can't speak freely. However once we free the nation from Enji's control. I'll tell you everything I promise."

I place down shin and wrist armor plates just like mine for Touya to wear. He tries picking them up but has trouble.

"What the hell. These weigh over 200 pounds."

"250 actually, you'll be wearing them until your training is completed. All day every day until they feel normal and are apart of you."

"Are you insane!? I'll die if i do that!"

"That's the point. I train you close to deaths door and bring you back."

"I hate you."

"I love you too."

He puts them on and falls to the ground.

"Fuck off!"
