Warning: Before we start, I like to say that there may be triggers and sad content. There might be a flashback of Rae's childhood that may make you feel sad or triggered. Do not read without proper warnings!

It was early during the night, Rae had woken up after everyone went to bed. The clock read 3:15am and she was holding her chest as the nightmare she had ended, with her breathing hard. She looks over as she seen Todoroki was asleep and had rolled over facing away from her. She sighs as she gets up, walking out of the room quietly. She noticed someone sitting on the couch, it was Dabi. He must of fallen asleep out here but he was clearly awake, he had glanced over seeing her. Judging by her scared face and how she just froze there, he use his quirk to light up the room. Holding his palm out as the blue flames appeared, "You're awake? I thought you be asleep still. What's going on?" Rae gulps walking over to him and sits down, sighing sadly as she look down to speak, "I had that nightmare again." Dabi's eyes widen, "Why haven't you told me about this?" "I guess it wasn't important when we have them around," she says softly. Dabi glares looking at her, "You need to tell me what's going on." Rae sighs, it's about my childhood. I know we've become great friends but I didn't think you want to know about my childhood." Dabi looks at her, "of course I would. You've learn to trust me and learn to trust everyone here. Just tell me." She kept looking down as began to explain, "When I was a child, I didn't have a very good father or mother figure. When I was born, my mother and father hated me, I always got beat for something I never did. I was almost killed by my mother when I was five. She almost tried to choke me alive because I was the only one to try and help my siblings or heal myself from being beat too hard. My siblings had to keep me away from them. I was technically the baby of the family and they want to kill me. My father wanted me killed for no reason either. That was the beginning of my childhood. I lived in fear because I was bullied by my parents and they thought my quirk wasn't good enough. I only had sand and lightening quirk because of them. My siblings had lightening and water quirks. I was the weird child because my powers were from my grandparents. Which they aren't alive when I was born." She started to tear up as she explained. Dabi listen and closes his palm as he starts to pull her close and hold her, "Your parents bullied you because of your quirk." She looks at him as the tears fell, "Not just cus of my quirk. My father kept trying to abuse me as child. My mother never would feed me and my siblings were the only ones I could count on. They fed, raised, and even help me through pain. I almost wanted to kill myself because of them. Cus of my parents, I felt like I was literally a freak. I even remember they told me, I never be a hero. I ran away at the age of twelve and found a family who cared. My siblings even may me run away because of my mother. I remember most of my life as pain and when I ran away I felt free. But was still in pain. I ended up being found by someone who was good friends with All might." Believe it or not as she had explained her full story. She didn't notice Dabi had kissed her head. She still felt pain but couldn't say anything to him about it. Dabi looks at her, "I'm sorry you got hurt as a child. But what are theses nightmares you keep having?" She lean closer into his arms and sighs softly, "theses nightmares are of my family laughing and yelling horrible things at me. They even make me feel like dying in my dream. Theses nightmares, have appeared every since I ran away." They both heard a door open and looked up. It was Bakugou as he turns on the lamp on. He sees Rae and Dabi on the couch kinda cuddling, "Teddy bear? What are you doing up?" She looks at him, "I- I could ask the same." Dabi looks at him holding her close, "She had a nightmare again. She was telling me about it." Bakugou sighs saying, "I heard. I kinda heard about her backstory. I had no idea." She looks away as Dabi let go of her, "Bakugou, i- I don't know what to do." She gets up from the couch and walks over the balcony. It was very well decorated and had two chairs, she sits down in one sighing. Bakugou had followed her, along with Dabi standing in the entrance of the balcony doorway. Bakugou sits by her and says softly, "you don't have to hide from me. I just didn't know what to say about your life. I had no idea it was rough." She looks away from him staring at the view, "I..I never wanted to have a rough life. I didn't want to lose my life for others, because of my family. I wanted to help others but I feel like I can't."
