-------------------------------------------

An agonizing scream could be heard all around the arena, desperate and full of tormenting pain. Tears flowed down his face when he saw his, his brother be the cause of the flickering light of his lover slowly beginning to die down. And all while he was smirking at him, as though he accomplished his goal in breaking him, which in fact he did. Touya Todoroki won.

He officially broke his little brother.

Shouto's heart was trying to pound out of his ribcage, for how scared he was that he was too late. He promised her. He promised, she would never go back there, but he didn't mean it like this. He should have never separated from her. He was reluctant at first, but Katsuki and Izuku were with her, so why? Why, was she alone, covered in her own blood? Fighting by herself. Fighting the people, they were supposed to protect her from.

His brain couldn't wrap around the cold hard truth, she was tortured, and was alone through it all. He'd been looking for his brother for such a long time, and now he appears out of nowhere to literally rip away the only person who has brought joy into his life these past couple of months.

His morning light...

He couldn't help but to feel like a failure, and Shouto didn't realize he was the one screaming in pain as he caught her when she fell over. Cradling her carefully in his arms. Treating her like he would a flower, hopping she wouldn't wilt away. Trying to make up somehow for not being there. Fighting side by side with her, like he should have. His hands trembled when he noticed the grave situation, she was in. Her suit was cut all over, some slashes deeper than others. If only he could lessen the physical pain, he knew she was in. There was so, so much blood, and he was trying not to panic, noticing how her breathing was sporadic.

"Y/n." His voice trembled. "P-please, pleas-se hold on." He sobbed when she gave him a sad smile. "Don't... don't you dare say something meaningful right now." Biting his trembling lip, he held back another cry. "Just, please, please hold on for me."

Wanting to touch him she reached over, with a trembling hand. She didn't mean to stain his left scarred cheek with her blood. All she wanted more than anything in the world was to feel the warmth she loves. "You're probably sick of hearing me repeat myself... But I love your eyes Shouto... Please don't be sad." It was barely above a whisper, but he heard her. "They're just like the ocean..." coughing up blood, she whispered. "Different shades of the o-ocean... such beautiful eyes you have my prince." She closed her eyes, tears streaming down the corners.

"Stop..." he shook his head, refusing to let her go. Refusing to let her speak that way because he will not accept it.

It sounded like she was saying goodbye and he hated that. She was never supposed to say goodbye to him. Not ever. Not if she wasn't going to come back. Hiccupping, he covered her wound with his right hand. Using his quirk to ice where the blood kept pouring from. Attempting to close the wound, making her hiss from the temperature change.

"F-fuck Sho, that's too c-cold. I'm c-cold, I want your warmth." Y/n whimpered.

"No." He shook his head defiantly, the only time he wouldn't want to give her whatever she wanted. Because he knew time was not on their side and he will do anything right now to keep her alive. Holding her tightly to his body he whispered. "Please don't leave me. W-we haven't had enough time, there's so much more we need to do. So much, you haven't seen. Please, I promise..." His voice quaked. "I promise you; I will take you everywhere and anywhere you want. I promise you can try all the food in the world." He breathily laughed with a pained expression; eyebrows furrowed when she quickly nodded. "Just, please don't give up on me. I-I need y-you."
