Snatched

Chapter 53

"Listen Shota it's not what you're thinking."

You tried to keep up as your very unhappy uncle dragged you away from the 1-B dorm after grabbing both you and Shinso and escorting him back.

"I don't know what else it could be." he replied flatly.

"I just tripped and fell onto him!" you protested. "He was lost and we were talking."

Your uncle stopped in front of the teachers dorm "How did you know he was out there?"

"I have eyes Shota."

"If he was in a position where you could have seen him the camera's would have seen him first and set off the alarm." your uncle glared down at you. "I repeat. How did you know he was there?"

You gulped "I'm an empath?"

"Do not lie to me Y/n."

"What, you don't think I'm an empath?"

He grabbed your shoulders "Now is not the time for jokes."

It wasn't that you couldn't come up with a good lie, it was that you were being given the opportunity to come clean about your encounter with Dabi. Part of you wanted to say something and give the villains what they deserve, but another part of you still couldn't throw Touya under the bus. 

Unfortunately part two prevailed again. 

Time to gaslight. 

"I really don't know why you're making such a big deal out of this. He was lost, he saw our dorm, he texted me, I tripped. That's it. You're imagining problems that aren't there Shota."

For a moment he just watched you sternly, looking for a crack in your composure but when he found nothing he sighed. "Sorry Y/n, I'm still on edge. You might as well head back to your dorm. I was going to make you stay here but if there's nothing wrong there's no reason to. You'd tell me if there was something going on right?"

You smiled tightly. "Yeah. Of course."

The walk back to your dorm was quiet and dark and before long you found yourself regretting making fun of Shinso for getting lost. You didn't exactly have time to get your phone when your uncle dragged you away.

Karma's a bitch.

You decided to head towards the road and find the main entrance to the school to orient yourself. After a couple minutes you were on walking along the main road in your dinosaur pajama pants that Koda sent you, half frozen to death. 

I'm sorry Shinso I will never make fun of you again. 

You turned a corner hoping you would finally see the school building but instead saw a man in a black coat leaning against a telephone pole, holding some kind of briefcase. The man was leaning with his head tilted up, looking at the stars with blue eyes. Very blue eyes. 

You quickly unturned the corner, all of your survival instincts on high alert. 

Okay Y/n don't panic. It's probably just some guy with blue eyes coming home from work. No need to be paranoid.  

You tried to reason with yourself but your body was shaking with anxiety. You couldn't stop yourself from drawing conclusions. 

I'll just check this guy's quirk, if he is you-know-who then I'll just book it. 

You activated your quirk and immediately noticed three things. 

#1 The guy around the corner was 100% Dabi.

#2 You could sense all the quirks of your classmates meaning you were right beside your dorm.

#3 The guy with the quirk that turned your toaster into a top hat was also in the vicinity.
