"You already failed since birth, Touya."

Seven years ago the tale of Endeavor's eldest son buzzed within the country, the burning mountain and the disappearance of the said child lead to a handful of rumors surrounding the family.

You've heard of it, but you never dug too deep. But the only reason it caught your attention is the striking familiarity of his name:

Touya Todoroki.

It made headlines for a few weeks before it finally died down and he was presumed dead and the case was completely forgotten. But the words that circled were most likely to be true, some say it was suicide, murder or whatnot.

You believe it was both at some point; your opinion gradually changed as you grew older.

Sekoto peak was where it all happened, it's a bit damaged, but its still there.

That happened a few days before you met Touya, but you couldn't believe it-that it must have been another boy named Touya. It couldn't be that same boy who you found in the alleyway with a burnt arm, but it made sense. And you realised how naive you are, because he was always standing infront of you.

During the times when teenhood was still passing by, you always had a resentment for that stranger, for this stranger who never came back home. You appreciated his presence, it would be nice to have some company around.

Soon enough you forgot about him and accepted that he disappeared for good. And that it was just a coincidence that they had the same name.

You realised you are wrong, because he did come back, and he was right there this whole time.

Dabi was still not moving, or should I say- Touya. You could tell that his whole being was enveloped in a somewhat mix between fear and disgust at the mention of his real name. Memories of his past continously ran back and forth in his mind and it left a bitter taste in his mouth, his eyes holding a burning passion of hate at the thought of being his son.

Whatever you wanted to say didn't fall out of your tongue, instead it felt dry and nothing came out. Once again Shigaraki chuckles at the scene and loosens his grip on you a little, shoving you to the ground harshly-you didn't even realise that he did until you tasted the cement of the floor because you were too busy staring at Touya in utter disbelief.

Whilst your eyes burnt holes into his head, he looked everywhere but you out of shame. He was aware that you knew.

All of that resentment you felt, it quickly came back in a flash-but you weren't happy to see him but instead you felt.. a little upset that he kept it a secret and never told you his real name, you always wondered where he came from and what his purpose was. You couldn't help but feel lied to again.

But those things didn't matter, because now you know he was right here all along. You started seeing things, imagining a life with him once you both get out of this hellhole. You wanted to fight for the life you wanted to live.

"Wake up." You silently mouthed.

And then you blinked, once you opened your eyes it was all hell on loose. Blue flames consumed the entire alleyway and your neck never felt so free, you wince when you feel that something is extremely wrong despite being free.

Your skin is burning.

"Fuck!" You heard faint voices between the smoke and you hissed realizing the skin of your arm up to your neck was burnt, and you knew it was bound to leave a nasty scar. Adrenaline coursed through your veins like no other.
