-5- The Story of a Love

~(Y/N)'s POV~

"Talk to me!" Shoto's voice cracked through the air like lightning.

I wanted to yell back, but I couldn't. A cloth was stuffed between my lips and tied to the back of my head. I couldn't escape. My long hair was sprawled across the floor, tangled and caught on various objects. My hands were tied together, a chain that held me back was strapped to the floor below. The frying pan had been melted beyond recognition, now a useless hunk of metal among the wreckage.

"Oh," Dabi smiled, "Guess I have to try a bit harder to kill my own flesh and blood."

I tried to object, but my cries were silenced once more. I watched as Dabi ripped a large section of my hair free from the mess and threw it out the window.

"(Y/N) where is-!?" Shoto reached the top of the tower. He froze when he saw me. I was frozen too. Up until the moment a knife pierced him in the back.

I tried to free the screaming from my mind. I pulled against the chains until my limbs went slack.

Dabi gave a quick chuckle, "Now look what you made me do (Y/N). You made me have to kill my baby brother. But don't worry. Our secret will die with him."

I could move again. I started lashing out against the chains. Dabi let Shoto groaning on the ground, placing his hands over his wound. Dabi grabbed my chain and started pulling me away.

"And as for us? We are going where no one would ever find you again. Don't fight me."

I managed to struggle enough to loosen the cloth from my lips, My thoughts ripped out like a tornado, "No! I won't stop. For every minute of the rest of my life I will fight! I will never stop trying to get away from you!"

"(Y/N)!" Dabi was getting frustrated, "I'm not afraid to hurt you."

"Unless," He was interested in my offer, "If you let me save him, I will go with you."

Shoto heard me, his voice weak from the sudden blood loss, "(Y/N)-!"

"I won't run, I won't try to escape. Just let me heal him, and you and I will be together. Forever, just like you want. I promise."

He looked at me, then at his brother, "Fine."

He went over to Shoto and used another chain to tie Shoto's arm to the wall. I'm starting to wonder where Dabi stashed all of these chains, and also how he hid so many things to attach the chains to.

"Just to keep the little run away from running after us."

He then walked back to me and unchained my arms, "Finish quickly."

I rushed over as soon as I was free, "Shoto, I- I'm so sorry. Everything is gonna be okay. I promise."

"Don't (Y/N)," Shoto tried to stop me, but he was too weak to keep me away.

"It's okay," I started moving towards the wound, "Just trust me. Now breathe for me."

Shoto stopped me again, grabbing my hand, "I can't let you do this."

It took me a while to process everything. I had tunnel vision. But now I could tell that I was crying, and Shoto was teary-eyed.

I tried to stop the tears, "I can't let you die. You're supposed to escape and be happy. That was your dream. Leave the kingdom, be alone?" Shoto was still breathing, I got to work, "I already got my dream. I..." I couldn't lie, "I got my original dream."

"But-" he coughed, "You'll die."

"No," I started to try to wrap the wound with my hair, "It's gonna be alright."
