Torn

Envy

Y/N POV

I take out my phone and text Tokoyami:

Me: Hey...Tokoyami...What do you want for Christmas?

I put my phone away.

While I wait for a response, I take out my laptop and type Touya an email, sending the file I have on Envy.

I get sent back:

Dabi

Thanks
Stay Safe

Dabi

Okay...now time to check and see my phone...

Tokoyami: You don't have to get me anything

Me: But I want to

Tokoyami: Hmm...

Me: Hmm...

Tokoyami: Just get me a gift card or something...I guess?

Me: Hmm...I have an idea...

Me: Have a great day!

Tokoyami: Okay? You too!

I stand up and put my phone away.

I'm kinda hungry...

I head to the elevator and enter.

I exit the elevator and head to the kitchen.

While walking to the kitchen, I see Asui, Ochako, Ashido, and Hagakure. It looks like they're talking. They don't notice me.

I enter the kitchen.

I can hear their conversation, most of it is unimportant and doesn't really matter to me then...they bring up the time when Asui found a shapeshifter, Envy, and made those pictures of Asui and "Tokoyami" kissing.

I start to make a cup of ramen and listen in.

"I still can't believe you pulled that off, Tsuyu. You managed to fool the one person in the class that seemed to be unable to ever be tricked," Hagakure compliments.

In the kitchen, I finish my ramen and throw away the trash.

I decide to make some stew and start chopping up some veggies to put in it. I also get out a pot and start boiling water. I chop up a carrot and put it in the pot. I continue to chop other vegetables.

"Yeah. That was awesome!" Ashido exclaims, agreeing with Hagakure.

They're...complimenting her? Why...would they be complimenting her...? That doesn't...make sense...

"It's kind of mean that you did it and hurt Y/N and Tokoyami...but you did it with nothing but good intentions. You only wanted Tokoyami to be safe because you believe Y/N is a terrible monster. I'm not really sure why you think that though..." Ochako...no Uraraka says.

Even...Ochako-no...Uraraka...? I guess her and Asui are really good friends...all I really ever did was encourage Uraraka during the sports festival when she went up against Bakugo...

"Still! What you did was kinda heroic!" Hagakure exclaims.

...what? Heroic...? That doesn't make any sense...how is what she did "kind heroic???" I...I don't understand...what...

"Aww...thanks guys, Ribbit," Asui replies, it sounds like she's smiling.

She sounds like she's smiling...she's happy...of course she'd be happy...they're complimenting her...they hold nothing against her...what she did was mean...why are they complimenting her? I get that she had "good intentions" as they claim...but...why?
