"Why did you lie to me?"

KIARA'S POV:

"All this work is stressing me out, and I'm going to be the N.4 hero soon... can you believe that?"

I was picking at the grass beneath me, pulling it roughly.

"I miss you, I wish you were here by my side right now." I looked at the gravestone in front of me, flowers around the stone.

When I think about it, I don't visit his grave that often. I tell myself "It's cause of your hero work." Or "You're too busy." But I think I'm just making excuses because I haven't done this long.

"Touya... I'm so sorry I didn't visit that often as much..." I whispered, feeling my legs fall asleep from not moving them. "Do you remember when you called me those pet names?" I smiled at the memory. "There wasn't much, but Carrots, little mouse, a-and... doll." I trailed off.

"Carrots."

"Little mouse."

"Doll."

"Doll-face."

"What am I thinking?" I muttered. "No, I'm insane."

Dabi called me those pet names, and I think I was very stupid for not noticing that. I guess I was too stressed, or had other things on my mind.

But Touya and Dabi couldn't be the same person... right? They are both opposite as Dabi is more confident, smooth, flirty, and closed. Touya was kinder, more serious, more competitive... creative. Blue flames. The turquoise eyes, and the scars they both always got. I remember seeing white strands of hair in Dabi's Raven hair.

It was all coming back to me.

My body moved on its own, standing up straight, and felt my back bump into something, something stiff. I turned around it was Dabi hovering over me as he had his hands in his pockets.

"Doll-face, the hell are you doin' here?" He raised a brow, looking at me curiously like he didn't know.

It was a graveyard.

His family graveyard.

Though the silence grew and Dabi wanted a response from me, I kept my head down as I looked at the grass.

"I know you're lying." My voice almost cracked with my hand on his chest as I looked up at him and I felt his body stiffen a bit.

"Oh really?" He shook it off with a grin on his face.

By my glossy eyes, I could tell he knew something was on my mind and that I needed to get it out.

"Touya."

His eyes widened, and I could feel his heart beating against his chest rapidly, standing there still, and silent without moving an inch and looked at me, shocked as he saw my pained expression.

"So you're not dead." I chuckled softly, and I didn't know why as cold tears ran down my cheeks. "Y-You we're just here... all along."

More tears left my eyes as he still stood there in silence.

For some reason, I wasn't angry or upset with him. I was happy and glad, but sad when I found out his identity, as he was standing right in front of me as a new stranger and had always been there.

"Why did you lie to me?"

My arms wrapped around his torso, my head hiding in his shirt, sobbing onto it, hugging him close to me, not wanting to let go and I could feel his heartbeat against my ear.
