A couple of days after I had woken up and spoken with my dad, Haru, Midoriya and Shoto, I learned about Tenko's and Touya's condition. I was able to talk to Tenko; it was a special request granted to me thanks to my dad's influences.

Tenko and I spoke for a while and came to terms that if only things had been different, if only had we met during other times we would've worked out. He was sad to hear me say so but he wished me the best.

He wanted my happiness even if it meant not being together; the same thing I want for him. We decided to stay friends and always support each other no matter what. We promised to write letters and if I was allowed to do so, I would visit him.

That being said, I was left to talk to Touya. Though, that was harder to do than I thought. I spent about three days waiting to see Touya but I was given some shocking news.

Shoto had come in today to talk with me. "Touya's going to get surgery." Shoto explained, next to him was his dad Endeavor.

"Surgery? Was he badly injured?" I asked frantically.

Endeavor shook his head, "Not quite but his burns are going to be treated. His nervous system needs to be taken care of as well given he's lost sensibility in most of his body. It's going to be a difficult and painful procedure. We don't know if he'll—"

Hearing him say so my heart clenched. "Huh?" I interrupted him, "What are you trying to say??! That he won't make it??" I panicked.

"Calm down, [Y/N]." Shoto tried to soothe my uneasiness.

"I can't." I confessed, "Sho... I know Touya feels self-conscious of his burn marks but... is his surgery necessary? I don't want him to go through that risk."

"It's something Touya decided on." Endeavor answered me. He too looked worried. "He's currently hospitalized in this very hospital. He'll be getting surgery tomorrow morning and once he recovers he'll start his reformation treatment. Approximately seven years in the psychiatric ward, then it's house arrest for a couple of more years."

I let out a sad sigh.

"He wants to see you." Shoto told me making me perk up in surprise.

"He... he does? I can finally see him now?"

They both nodded. "Touya requested to see you."

I smiled.

Later in the afternoon, I was escorted into Touya's room. His hospital room was only three floors above me.

"Alright, here you are." I was told as the police guard opened the door for me.

"Thank you."

I took a step inside and the door closed behind me. I looked around the room and saw Touya looking out the window. He was dressed in hospital scrubs, and even then he looked handsome to me.

Turning around, Touya's expression softened. He hurried on over to me and wrapped his arms around me.

"You came to see me." he whispered to me as we embraced each other.

"Touya." I sniffled, "I..."

"It's okay." He reassured me, "You don't need to say anything. Just let me hold you."

And hold me he did. We spent about a few minutes in each other's arms. I felt so safe in his arms it made me want to cry.

"Why Touya? I heard your surgery is dangerous."
