Bakugo and I walked in complete silence to my temporary house. The cold metal slipped from my fingers as the lock twisted and the wooden door slid open. 

"Yui, I can st-"

"It's ok. You go home and rest up. Thanks for walking me all the way here." I turned over my shoulder to smile at the blonde. His brows furrowed with worry as he still stood in place unsure of what to do. 

"You know.." I turned around to fully face him. "If we hadn't of had such a shit day, I would be calling you a stalker right now for following me home." A teasing smirk played on my lips and a sad excuse for a laugh escaped them. His face softened. I tried not to count the amount of times his eyes would quickly flick down to my neck. Seemingly understanding my needs, he let out a shaky laugh too. 

"I'll see you tomorrow, Yui."

The amount of time I stood still in my living room was lost on me. Fear and nausea crept up my body as I thought about looking at myself now. Walking to the bathroom, my eyes squeezed shut as I stepped in front of the mirror. As I opened them, I saw myself. My eyes were puffy and sunken, hair matted, and covered in dirt. 

The scar had a pinkish red tone to it, with a slightly deeper red roughly outlining the shape of a palm and fingers. The back of my neck scrunched as I tilted my head back to look at the mark in the mirror. The tip of my finger traced along the lines. Palm on palm, fingers on fingers, I rested my hand on the mark, mimicking the unwanted grip there previously. My hand was much smaller than the mark. Slowly my fingers began to illuminate a dim yellow as I did my best to cover the scar. My gentle touch disappeared as I moved my hand. The shades of red still stained my neck at the same opacity. Again I covered the stain creating a brighter yellow this time, my once gentle touch becoming something more. The stain seemed to be mocking me as I revealed it from beneath my hand again, still no changes. I dug into my neck with my hand as a bright gold illuminated the small bathroom. Progressively, cold pants rushed passed my parted lips, drying the sweat now running onto them. My grip intensified on the mark until it felt the same as the grip of the creator of the stain. The brightness of my light became blinding.
The feeling of flowing, liquid warmth dripping from my nose forced my hand away from my throat. My eyes tracing the same lines, seeing the same hues. 

Even though he let go, the grip he has on me is forever stained. 

My hands slammed into the white marble in front of me. The scratch of my scream traveled up my throat and rumbled my lips as it passed, but I couldn't hear it. My knuckles turned from white to red as my fist busted the mirror in front of me. Glass scattered around me, but a small corner of the mirror had not fallen, tauntingly revealing the perfect angle to my neck. My knees began to wobble and buckle, my eyes never leaving the small part of the mirror left. Relief flooded over me as I was finally beginning to not see the stain, as it faded along with the rest of my vision.

BAKUGO'S POV


With a sad smile, Yui turned around and walked into her house, shutting the door gently behind her. I had to force my legs to move as I walked away from her.

Fuck...

FUCK...

FUCK.

How could I be so goddamn stupid to leave her by herself then? She got hurt because of me.
The anger flowing through me was a new level for me. Regret and guilt flooded every inch of my mind as I recalled the events of today. My hands fisted into my hair as a scream etched up my throat I couldn't let out.

How am I supposed to be a hero when I couldn't even protect her?

I paced the sidewalks, getting lost in the empty streets and my thoughts. I needed to do something, I couldn't just go home like nothing happened today. After 15 minute of walking, I found myself in front of a corner store. As my eyes focused on the neon sign of the store, I thought about the scar across her throat, in the shape of a handprint none the less.
Sparks shot from my hand as my emotions boiled.

A bell quietly rung as I slammed open the glass door in front of me. As I looked for the item on my mind, there was one thing I knew for certain.

I am going to kill whoever the fuck hurt her.

Plastic bag in hand, I found myself sprinting back towards Yui's house. As I approached the house, intrusive thoughts rushed into my head.

What if she hates me now?
Is this too much?
How do I-

"AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

A blood curdling scream ripped me from the thoughts in my head. My pace towards the door infinitely increased as I heard the shatter of glass. 

The door was still unlocked as I rushed through the entrance. 

"Yui?!"

"YUI?!"

Her name left my hurriedly left my lips as I scanned every room of her house. I wasn't going to fail her again. 

Turning around the corner, I saw the bathroom door wide open. The large mirror was busted, drips of blood covering the sink. Yui knelt on the floor with streams of red coming from her nose and knuckles. The bag dropped from my hand as I rushed to my knees beside her. Trembles consistently shook over her weak body. 

"Kat..suki" 

The way she breathed my name made my ruthless heart shatter. 

Without another word, I shifted my arms gently underneath her shoulders and knees, carrying her to her bed. I wiped the liquid from her nose and knuckles with a wet cloth. The entire time I moved around her, her multi-colored eyes tiredly followed me. 

Once I was finished cleaning off the blood and sweat, I went back to the bathroom to grab my bag. 

I sat on the edge of her plush bed. Her face weakly scrunched with confusion as I pulled out a small container. A small piece of her brown hair had fallen in front of her forehead that I gently pushed away and tucked behind her ear. The cap of the container came off with ease as I unscrewed it. The gel was cool and smooth as I used two fingers to scoop a small pile out. As gently as I could, I slid the ointment over the red on her neck. 

Her purple and golden eyes widened before quickly filling with tears. I brushed away the warm tears that slid down the sides of her cheeks. 

"It's ok now, Yui. You're safe."
