Chains of Insanity

Chapter 5

"Those fucking gay shits!"

"T-Todoroki, how could he?" Kaminari said, his voice wavering.

"Not one, but two... We- We trusted them." Ilda said, falling to his knees.

"Why didn't they tell us?" Uraraka asked.

Brushing aside their questions, they rushed over to the teachers who were sprawled out around in the rubble. They lifted the rocks from on top of them and set them aside. The teachers slowly lifted themselves off the ground, despite their trembling. After brushing the dirt off their costumes, they turned to face UA, or what was left of it, that is. It would either take weeks, months or even years to rebuild on top of the destruction from days before.

They stumbled over the rocks and glass that lay dormant on the ground. All Might looked at UA, the place where Todoroki and Izuku had met, the place where they had formed relationships with the different classes, the place where they fought to become heroes. They had gotten so close. The building had been smashed to smithereens. Broken... Along with their dreams to become heroes, and along with the trust of the citizens and their pride.

The stone pavement that was now covered in ash and stone was split in half, starting from where Midoriya was standing.

Citizens began gathering and surprised murmurs and gasps littered the air. Some of the heroes kept them from getting any closer. This was certainly something that would not be kept from the public.

Midoriya put Todoroki on the bed and rummaged through the cabinets. He threw medicine and pills to the ground as he frantically searched. Once he had the bandages in his hand he rushed over to Todoroki and removed his shirt. He wrapped his torso in the bandages and placed a wet rag on top of his forehead. He sighed. A sharp sting in his heart sent him to the floor. He stumbled as he got up again and he ran to the garbage and hurled. He wiped his mouth and quickly ran back over to the cabinet.

He moved pills around and when he didn't find any, he dropped to the floor and looked through the bottles he had thrown. He punched the wall and dust and paint fell to the floor and into his hair. "Where the fuck are they?!?" He yelled.

Kira opened the door. "Brother, what happened?" She rushed over to him on the floor and shifted her gaze over to the bed where Todoroki was. She heard Izuku collapse to the side of her with a large thud.

She set him next to Todoroki and placed another wet rag onto Izuku's forehead. He was breathing heavily, his chest falling and rising quickly. From under the bed, she saw a bottle of medicine. It was most likely the one he was looking for earlier. She wasn't quite sure, but she was willing to take a risk. She popped a pill into Izuku's mouth. His breathing eased but it was still harsh and forced. Todoroki's eyes fluttered open and stared at the ceiling, taking in his surroundings. Once he realized he was back at the hideout he turned to meet face to face with Izuku. His eyes widened. He snapped into a sitting position and winced in pain at the sudden jerk. The wet rag fell to his lap.

"What happened? Is he okay?"

Kira nodded.

"I'm not sure. I think he's having a nightmare or something. He just collapsed after complaining about not being able to find his pills. Sho-Chan, I'm scared." Her eyes filled with tears.
Todoroki grabbed her hand and brought her close to him. He kissed her forehead and smiled. "I'm sure he'll be fine, Kira. We know him. He's worked through these kinds of things. I know he can get through this too." Kira stared at the ground and Todoroki shook her and turned her head to look him in the eyes. "Kira, He'll be fine. I promise." Kira nodded and Todoroki let go of her.
