After all,
Shapeshifting can be hard to understand.
You bolt up in your bed. You think back.
Yaoi wouldn't have let me meet him behind an old alley.
He knows I'm scared of alleyways.
Yaoi seemed like himself during the villain attack, but everything got weirder after that.
That isn't my brother downstairs.
That is Hanagi.
He's out of prison and I led him straight to me.
And worse, my family.
You get up and run downstairs where Kirishima is talking to "Yaoi".
You quickly go into the kitchen. And bring out a knife.
All the attention drifts to you.
But mostly to the ten inches of sharp steel you hold in your hand.
"(Y/n)! What are you doing?! Put that down before you get hurt!" Kirishima yells.
He gets up and tried to move close to you to grab the knife, but Bakugo stops him.
Curiosity is overtaking Bakugo as he watches the scene in front of him.
Your attention turns back to the black haired boy in the room.
"Yaoi, prove yourself; that your actually you," you demand, pointing your knife towards him.
He gives a nervous chuckle.
"What do you mean? I am the real me..." He trails.
Red flag number one: Yaoi seems nervous. He's never nervous around me. We've been in situations like this before and he always went to calm me down and take the knife before giving me a hug. When Hanagi was pretending to be Yaoi he would get upset or angry. This is different.
"Tell me something only we would know," you spew.
Yaoi thinks. You notices his hands start to shake and he seems sweaty.
"When we were little, and dad would get mad, I would hide you in the closet."
You scoff.
"When I went missing, I didn't try to come back."
You stop.
Bingo.
Yaoi came back.
He snuck through your window at night. He walked in and held you.
"I have to go. I'll be back for you soon. Listen to mom and take care of Kai. Okay?"
He gave you a quick kiss before jumping out and running away.
"You aren't Yaoi-"
"Yaoi" smirks as he melts away revealing a tall, muscle-built man.
Your father.
"Well, it was working."
Before you could think, you drop the knife and duck down in a corner.
Bakugo runs after Hanagi while Kirishima runs to you.
Kirishima holds you tight with his back turned to Hanagi.
Your breathing picks up as you listen to the splintering sound of the wood table breaking.
