Little Stars

Chapter 25

Days passed surprisingly well for both Touya and Keigo since the age-ing back – they weren't good per se, but what made them better than other days was being with the students, teachers and more importantly Aizawa (who was always there for them and listened to them even when Touya and Keigo thought what they were going to say will be ridiculous.) and of course, Keigo and Touya have each other.

So, Touya and Keigo were getting better and they wished that everything would get better even when they reach their real age, Touya wouldn't be Dabi and Keigo would be free from the commission's hold. But their road to recovery was still long, they still needed a lot of time to heal, and they needed to mend their broken heart and soul. 

"Both of you can rise up from anything. You can completely recreate yourselves. Nothing is permanent and I know it may not be easy and it might take a lot of effort, but you can make it happen and I will gladly help you throughout everything."

These were the first words their therapist said to them. They were afraid to meet a new person – a person who would know everything about them, would know every secret they tried to hide and know the two broken boys who were hiding behind the masks of Dabi and Hawks. But Nedzu assured them that she is a trusted person because she was a friend of his and swore to secrecy to not reveal what is going to happen in the sessions. And on top of that she didn't differentiate between villains or heroes – if anyone needed her help, she would gladly help them. It was decided that there will be a joint therapy session with Touya and Keigo as both of them were faced with the same kidnapping and also this will encourage them to have their sessions alone without the presence of the other and be relaxed more around the therapist.

And with every year they will age back to, Emi would help them go through what happened and listen to everything they wanted to talk about.

So, everything was going well for both boys until someone visited U.A. – an uninvited guest came to visit the school or rather to take someone with him.

Endeavor wasn't having good days in the past weeks since Hawks had disappeared. It was as if the number two hero vanished from the face of  Earth. The disappearance made Endeavor angry at the younger hero because how could he after gaining the number two hero spot, he left it without any care as if it was nothing and with his disappearance, the hero work fell on Endeavor's shoulder and people wanted him to be in different places at the same time. It was a good thing for Endeavor to raise his popularity if you asked him as the hero wasn't known for his loving personality – Endeavor was cold and harsh towards people and he didn't like socializing even when he was forced to. But he was angry because he always knew that Hawks was a devoted hero, he always tried to save everyone at the risk of his own life (sometimes by using reckless movements.) Endeavor was aware that Hawks wanted to be like him, he wanted to be a hero like him and even though Hawks annoyed him on many levels and whenever he met him, Endeavor admired his determination to do the best and Hawks was really one of the best heroes.

So, It was when he finished apprehending a pathetic, weak criminal, that he was not even ranked as a villain, which should be done by the police, not the pro hero number one, his phone rang. Endeavor didn't answer and left his phone to ring for three times, but on the fourth time, he answered with a 'what' or rather snapped at the person on the other side of the phone and what made him angrier was the urgent meeting with the commission president.

And Endeavor learned a lot of things in this short meeting, but the most important thing was that his older son was still alive and was going by the name of Dabi; the villain Dabi and the de-ageing incident. Endeavor didn't know what to think about knowing that his oldest son was still alive and on top of that he was one of the league members – a notorious villain. He tried to deny it, saying that Touya was dead for ten years, that he died in his own fire but the president was sure of what she was saying and she told him that they tried to have Hawks and return Touya back to him but Eraserhead and U.A. stood in their way and apparently Endeavor was their last option.
