Falling like the snow :: [Todoroki's Twin brother]

Chapter 3

[••• I forgot to post this yesterday.. oops-]

**Shimo POV**

^Warm..

Is Touya hugging me..?

I must have fallen asleep in his room again..^

I curled up on my side, my small wings curling over the top of my arm.

???: "I think the kid is awake!"

???2: "Shut up, Nemuri!"

Nemuri: "Oops!"

I opened my eyes, pushing myself up right. I was in a strange room, laying on a sofa in the living area. Two people were standing over me, one with long back hair, the other with grey hair tied back in a bun.

^No, no, no, no, no! People know about me! I- I need to get home before Father finds out! H- he won't be happy with me!^

I tried to move away from them, bumping into the arm of the sofa.

Nemuri: "I think he is scared."

???3: "No sh[]t sherlock."

Nemuri: "Shouta! Don't use that foul language around the child!"

Shouta: "All right, mum."

A man with black hair came up to the sofa now, both ladies moving to the side as he crouched down in front of me. I stared at him intently, wondering how he was here as well.

Shouta: "Do you remember me?"

I nodded slowly.

Shouta: "Can you tell me why you were in that alley by yourself..?"

I blinked, then shook my head, disappointed in myself for not being able to tell him.

Shouta: "You don't have to be scared to tell me.. I won't hurt you kiddo. Could you at least tell me your name?"

I shook my head again, looking down at the sofa, playing with a feather in my hands.

Shouta: "Come on kid. I need to know so I can help you."

^I don't know how to tell him.. I can't speak..^

I opened my mouth, trying to form words. Nothing happened.. same as normal.

I tried again, opening and closing my mouth, trying to say Shimo, even a small noise would be something..

???2: "Oh dear.. can you not talk deary?"

I looked at the old lady, raising my eyebrows. I nodded, hoping she would understand.

Shouta: "Oh sh[]t.. you poor kid."

Nemuri hit him round the back of the head and I recoiled, pulling my knees up to my chest.

The adults stilled.

I think I scared them.

???4: "Quit swearing will you- I am trying to sleep."

Old lady: "Hush Yamada. The child just woke up."

Yamada: "Oh.. ohhh! Hey there kiddo!"

He waved at me.

^Strange man.. loud- why his hair yellow?^

I tilted my head a bit, letting my knees fall so my feet were hanging off the sofa.

Yamada: "Why is he staring at me?? Am I scaring him?? Oh god! I'm sorry!"

Shouta: "Hizashi come sit. Recovery Girl will tell you everything."

Yamada came and sat down next to Shouta, looking over at Recovery Girl.
