My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 3

Chapter 10: What Now?

    Since the deadbolt on the door was still locked, I ended up just having to warp into my apartment anyways. Getting the door closed and relocked behind me before I stepped in more, Suraki was still awake, watching something on his phone until he had noticed me. Switching what he was watching off as he smiled faintly. 

    "Good, no new scars."

    "Yeah..." I mumbled a bit before smiling back, taking my coat off. Getting it hung back up and stumbling over towards bed tiredly, letting out a yawn. I was about to plop myself into bed when I noticed Suraki giving me a weird look. Tilting my head a bit. "What's up?"

    "I... Don't know, you sure you're okay? Something feels weird..."

     "What do you mean weird?"

     "You feel weird... or... your energy I guess is a better way of putting it... Your eyes are red again too."

     "I'm... Not sure what to really do about that." I would just shrug, taking my shirt off before laying in bed beside Suraki and smiling again. He still had the weird look on his face for a moment, but eventually brushed it off and laid back down as well. Looking into my eyes.

    "It feels weird being in our own place pretty much... I kinda like it though, having the privacy and all that..."

    "Maybe you could move in?" I chuckled a bit, mainly joking since I knew it wouldn't really work out. Especially since we're both so young still. He would chuckle as well, lifting his hand up to rub my cheek gently.

    "Maybe some day... After all this stuff with Shigaraki is over... Speaking of that, what's your plan?"

    "What do you mean?"

    "Your plan to get out... To get back to being... Well... You. You had a plan that worked last time..."

   "It didn't work though... At least not permanently... I don't know... At this point I.. I think this might just be my life now... Why fight it anymore? Its just gonna be more trouble..." I sighed, rolling onto my back to stare up at the ceiling. Lifting my hand up to look at. "This... These quirks... All For One... As long as I have this, there's no going back... My fate was cemented the very moment Shigaraki eyed me for his plans..."

    "Please don't say that..." I glanced over, seeing Suraki had a frown on his face as he sat up a bit to have a better look at me. "I don't care what he has planned, there has to be a way for you to break free. I'll do whatever it takes to have you bac in my life, in all our lives again."

    "I hate to be a dick, but what is there to do. We're just teens, Suraki. We're weak as hell compared to Shigaraki, We'd be wiped in a matter of seconds..."

    "There's always a way... We just have to find it.... What happened to your enthusiasm? Your hope?"

    "Died, Suraki. Both have died...  After all that's happened. I have none left... I can't keep fighting... Its taking its toll..." I would start to tear up, laying my head back and holding it for a few moments. Trying to calm down. "I-I mean... Even if I did somehow get to go back, I've changed so much... Nothing will ever be the same. There's no point..."

    "I... Guess you're sorta right... But this isn't you, Nosido... Being a villain isn't what you were meant to be..."

    "Maybe it is! Cause so far its really seeming like it. I'm... Enjoying, murder... I... I don't know who I am or what I am anymore and I don't know why I have to keep saying that to you." Suraki would get quiet after I sorta snapped on him, I was sitting up now too since I was trying to get my point across. Though seeing the almost guilty look on my face made me feel pretty bad. Frowning as I scooted over and hugged him tightly. "I-I'm sorry... I just... I don't know anymore... I don't..."
