Shota stays in his seat. Dozing off every so often only to jerk himself awake when a nightmare starts up.

After a few hours Toshinori woke up while he looks around the room remembering where he was. He sat up and looks out a window seeing it was still dark. He sighs before getting off the bed and walks out of the room.

Shota was awake and looking down at his hands. Seeing to be lost in deep thought.

Toshinori sighs softly as he looks at Shota "....I'm guessing you can't fall asleep without having another nightmare?..." he asked as he walks towards Shota.

Shota looks up at the other male and then nods "Yeah. Hasn't been this bad in years." He sighs. "Midnight used to help me get into a.....a mindset I need to be calm when I got like this but she hasn't been speaking to me since Hizashi started his little game."

"He told other teachers?...he was your best friend and he just does this to you...I still can't believe that..." Toshi sighs.

Shota looks at the ground and nods "y-yeah." His voice cracks a bit and he closes his eyes.

Toshi tensed up "I-I'm sorry...I shouldn't of said that, that's a sensitive topic...I'm sorry..."

Shota shakes his head and swallows hard. Once again bottling up the emotions that wanted out so badly. He then opens his eyes "it's fine. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?...please be honest. I'm really sorry..." Toshi now has a concerned look.

Shota nods and looks down at the floor "I'm fine." He then get up and starts to make tea. "You should go back to bed...."

Toshi watches him as he sighs "I am no longer tired..."

Shota frowns "that's a lie."

Toshinori shakes his head "It's true, I'm just no longer tired.."

Shota looks over at him while pouring the tea. "Why is that? You slept for less then three hours."

Toshi tilts his head to the side a bit "Well, I took a nap earlier today after I left UA and when I went on hero patrol, I didn't really do anything. Besides saying hello to some fans...but all I really needed was a nap..."

Shota hums and picks up the tea. It was some weird herbal blend. "I see."

Toshi nods "....But I still think I can get back to my apartment. It's very late so no one should be out...I'll be careful"

Shota scowls "you don't listen do you?! The streets have eyes! They will see you and you will get hurt!"

"Shota, I'm sure I'll be fine..." Toshi said as he tensed up.

"When you get hurt don't come crying to Me." Shota shrugs him off. Shoving the concern away just like his pain.

"Hey..please don't get mad at me..." Toshi frowns.

Shota shrugs again "I'm not mad. I'm stating a fact. I warned you." He then sets his mug down. Seeming to suddenly not want it as he moves off towards his room "see you at school then. If you make it back in one one piece."

Toshi tensed up more "Please don't say that..."

Shota stops mid step and looks over his shoulder "Sorry. Truth too much to handle?" He snorts "figures. I think you can see yourself out."

Toshi swallowed hard before he walks to the door "I-Im just going to go now..." he said before he walks out the door and down the stairs. He walks out the front door and into the alley way. He grabs his cape and wraps it around him trying to hide his hero suit as he starts walking to his apartment in the shadows while looking around.

Shota slams his bedroom door shut and then slides down it. His face in his hands.

Shota hadn't been lying about the streets having eyes. The homeless, the drug addicts, and the prostitutes hung around Shota's complex. Watching for easy prey.

One such hooker, a rather trashy obviously crack addicted bottle Blond, attaches herself to one of his thin bony arms. "Where you off to all alone handsome?"

Toshi got startled as he looks down at the blonde "Nowhere you need to know..." he said as he gets his arm free and continues walking to his apartment building but a bit more faster.

She's suddenly in front of him. "Aw come on. A tall handsome thing like you walking all alone? That's no fun huh?" Her quirk was obvious some sort of teleportation.

Toshi stops as he saw her appear in front of him. He shakes his head "Please leave me alone, Miss..." he said as he walks past her.

She tilts her head slowly "Wait a second.....I know that costume. Ain't that All Mights Silver age costume?!"

Toshi stops as he thinks of an excuse "....I made it...I went to a cosplay party and dressed up as him...now can you please leave me alone..." he said as he continues walking.

She tilts her head and watches him go. "....cosplay huh?" She then disappears into the shadows.

Toshi sighs in relief as he continues walking. He keeps looking around trying to be careful, knowing he was almost there at the apartment building he walked a bit faster.

A group of about five men walk out of the alley near by. Each holding some sort of weapon. Baseball bat, crowbar, a hammer, a brick, and what appeared to be a taser.

As Toshinori was looking around he noticed the group. He tensed up a bit as he starts jogging to the apartment building.

The group sped up as well. One catching up and grabbing him by the back of the shirt. "So Nerd. You think you can touch on my girl and think you don't have to pay?!"

Toshi looks at the man "What? Sir, you got this all wrong! I did not touch her! I didn't do anything to her!"

He snorts "that's what they all say. Now. Either pay up or get beat up!"

Toshi tries getting out of his grip "Sir! I'm not lying! I didn't do anything to her!"

"Get his knees." He snorts as the other men close in. Raising their weapons.

That is until a flash of grey wraps around each one of their wrists. Then jerks them back. Causing the man to let go of Toshinori's shirt.

Shota then leaps down from the roof. "This is why you never go out at night like this."

Toshi watch the men get jerked back before looking at Shota "T-Thank you..."

Shota then sends a sharp kick into the lead man's stomach. "I warned you Su-lie, next time you attack, I will turn you in. Have fun dealing with the cops." He then pulls a can of something off his belt and sprays each man in the face. Sending them to the ground in a unconscious heap. "Idiots."

Toshi sighs as he scratches the back of his neck "I'm an idiot too...I should of listened to you...I'm really sorry..."

Shota glances at him then shrugs "I'm used to people ignoring what I say." He turns on his heel. "It's the reason I stay quiet about most things." He starts to walk off "go inside and stay out of sight in the costume unless you change forms. Your going to get yourself killed if you don't. I'd rather not have to scrub hero brains off the side of the building."

"I-..." he stoped himself before sighing softly "I'm sorry...thank you.."

"Don't apologize and don't thank me if you don't mean it." Shota didn't bother to even look back now.

"I do mean it.." Toshinori mumbles

Shota didn't hear that last bit as he disappeared back into the shadows.

The sun was just barely peeking over the horizon now.

Toshinori sighed as he walks into the apartment building. He quickly goes up the stairs and into his apartment. He goes into his room and lays down on his bed while looking out the window. He sighs softly before putting his hand over his face.
