When we get to the hideout Mustard asks what happened.
"Where's Magne?" I hesitate. Apparently that's enough information for them and tears well up in their eyes.
Magne had been like a sister to all of us, though her, Mustard and Toga had been the closest.
After breaking the news to everyone we all go to bed.
Kirishima lays down on his bed, still dressing in his everyday clothing.

"I'm sorry." He looks up at me with questioning eyes.
"Sorry for what?"

"Magne. I wasn't paying attention. I let her die." Kirishima shakes his head.
"That's not true. It's not your fault." I sit down on my own bed, my head down, not daring to face him.
"Midoriya. It's not your fault. Understand?" He walks towards me and crouches in front of me.
"It's never your fault." I shake my head.
"It is. I lead all of you there, I let her die." Kirishima reaches out to me.
"No. It's not." He states, more harshly this time.
"If you say one more time that Magne's death was your fault your death is gonna be my fault." I nod, silently. He smiles reassuringly.
"Thank you. Now. Sleep." He says, he still has his hand around my wrist. He's about to let go. I don't want him to.
"Kirishima." I whisper, he raises an eyebrow.
"Yes?" His hand loosens from my wrist.

"I think I have an answer to your question." I whisper just as quietly.
His smile turns into a small grin.
"Come at me." He orders. Some part of me can't believe he's ordering me around. But the other parts are telling me to listen. And that's what I do.

"Well, what part of me would you like?" He asks. I redden slightly.
"All of it." I whisper. "Every time you're around me it makes my heart race." I continue reddening with every word.
"Go on. You're not done yet are you?" My hands start shaking. He's right I'm not done yet but my head isn't cooperating.
"That time you kissed me and just walked out after.. I kept looking at you cause I wanted to feel your lips on mine again.." it had taken me almost a minute to find the right words. But to me it felt like hours.
"But then you started ignoring me and I thought I'd done something wrong.." Kirishima shakes his head.
"You did nothing wrong." He states, running a hand through my hair.
"You knew what I wanted to hear and I had to give you time to think of it. That's why I ignored you." I unconsciously leaned towards him. His hands were warm.
"You never said you liked me back." I whisper.
"I do. I've liked you since we were in middle school." I think back to middle school Izuku. Weak, naive and hurt.
Kirishima chuckles.
"So when's the first date?" I feel my face heat up. He grins.
"We'll see when we have time." He states. Before slightly kissing my forehead, standing up and going back to his own bed.
He turns off the lights on the way.

A few hours later, probably around 3 AM or so, I hear a blood curling scream, coming from Toga's room. Both me and Kirishima jump up and sprint to the other side of the hideout where Toga's room is. The door is wide open and Twice and Mustard are already inside. Dabi is also approaching the room concerned.
"What's going on?" I whisper to Mustard as quietly as possible.
"Panick attack." They state. "We asked if we could come closer to her and only Twice was allowed to. She keeps whispering things but I can't understand what."

The only thing allowing light into the room is the open door. And I can't do anything but look down at my crying friend. Twice is calming her as much as possible and this even woke up Shigaraki who came into the room a bit later. When Toga finally calms down Twice gestures for me to come closer.

"Better now? You scared the hell out of us." I whisper. Toga just looks at me with teary eyes.
"I-I think so.." She hugs me.
"What happened?" I ask cautiously. She shakes her head. obviously not wanting to talk about it.
"That's fine. Do you need anyone else?" She nodded and pointed at Dabi. I raise and eyebrow.
"I'm cold.." I suppress a smile and gesture for Dabi. He comes closer.
"Warm her up and.. if she needs something give it to her. Anything else Toga? If you need anyone else you know where our rooms are or you can just send Dabi." She nods and leans against Dabi (who obviously has the highest skin temperature.).
"Just call if you need something." I say, closing the door behind me. Kirishima pats me on the shoulder.
"Good job in there." He praises.
"Thanks.. I don't like seeing my.. family, like that." He stops walking.
"Family?"
