6 days to die || Tododeku

Chapter 16: Bound by words

A/N: Ok it's holiday time school is over and just like for the rest of the holidays before this one I'm staying up late and resorting to schedules or else my life will fall to shreds in the few weeks away from school, I'm a stable human being.

Goheru's (Gogo) POV            Saturday       9:42

When I entered the familiar brick building I was always hit with the overwhelming sense of nostalgia, it wasn't a necessarily pleasant feeling considering most of my younger days were spent wasting away in a small white room like the rest of the children with the misfortune of being left here. So nice or bad nostalgia, the answer constantly varied.

Today I felt more uncomfortable and bad nostalgia, the sort of feeling you get when you forget something important, I wasn't sure but the feeling felt incomplete as if there was more to the emotion that I had yet to experience.

When I walked up the stairs I didn't run into any of the other workers which was unusual but very satisfying to not have to deal with them. People like Mary and June (who are the ones who decided on the anime cat photos) are the polite and caring people who truly just want the best for everyone no matter what but then there are people like Jennifer.

I generally don't like or agree with Jennifer but throughout my life she has been a constant shadow, she was always there during the most important parts of my life whether I wanted that or not. I grew up with her being around me, we never really talked but she was always there so when I finally got this job I was annoyed to learn she was there. I don't know why she chose this job all I know is that she part time works as an escort on weekends and she is trying to recover form an alcohol addiction and severely failing.

She definitely isn't mentally stable enough to care for kids who aren't mentally stable.

I arrived at Midoriya's room, knocking gently at the door 3 times to no response. I felt bad for him, he saw his house burned and his mother killed and the person who caused this was his father, I wasn't sure how much he knew about the situation but from what I heard his father was confirmed to be the cause of the fire by witnesses so now the police are trying to find him, with little success.

I was about to knock again when I heard him call out "Just wait a minute I'll only be a second" which was then followed by the sound of squeaks of socks on floorboards and soon enough as he said he opened the door. His hair was messier than usual, he had dark bags under his eyes and he looked distracted but besides that he looked relatively ok, I could only hope his mental state is the same.

"Hi Gogo how are you?" He asked cautiously once i had been seated in his room, I thought over my answer before responding with a safe "Ok, how about you?". He seemed to also think over his answer before responding with ok just as I had, his hesitation made me slightly anxious but only time would tell if that anxious feeling was necessary.

Todoroki's POV       Saturday    9:57

Kizuku is a mostly simple being. Annoying and mysterious, yes, but still easily impressed and satisfied. He is a human therefore he has his own set of flaws and apparently one was not being able to tell left from right and up from down, as soon as we left our street we got lost and managed to end up at a Shopping Center I had never seen before.

Once we got to the shops accidentally he decided he wanted to get ice cream and with him being my only way to get to Midori I had to buy him ice cream, he had whined until I finally caved and took him to a random ice cream place that had a giant bird for a mascot. He ordered chocolate ice cream coated in a layer of chocolate sauce, he grinned in delight at the food when his order had finally come, I personally have never liked chocolate ice cream (I like chocolate just not chocolate ice cream) so I didn't try his or buy anything for myself.
