"Your name."

You gripped your fist, looking at him, emotions getting better of you, your heart beating so fast, your chest hurting, thinking you are losing air, trying to sound like it doesn't affect you, that his voice has no effect on you.

"This was a set up wasn't it?"

You've mumbled, giving a glare to Jiro, Uraraka's hand on your shoulder, you trying to calm down for a good second, feeling dizzy from emotions that hit you, you didn't need this right now.. how the hell... this was a dream right? He is not standing at the damn door saying your name.

"Your name we had no clue that you would be.."

Uraraka tried to calm you down but you pushed her away.

"Damn right you didn't!"

"Calm dow--"

Jiro tried to say that but you cut her off.

"You think this is going to bring us back huh?! One happy meeting? That everyone is going to laugh and be happy as if nothing happened huh?"

Your voice cracked here and there, holding up your anger.

"Let us at least explain what exactly we--"

You walked ahead ready to even move damn Shoto from the door.

It hurts... hurts so much.. why did he had to even walk here.. he is never here... he was out too other countries.. what in the right mind is he doing here.. .case case.. .that's it

You were standing in front of the man. Seemed like he didn't want to move to let you pass, seemed like he isn't done with you. For a good minute you stared at that face, at those years showing a bit now, long lashes he always had and that scar never losing it's tool on him, never fading just being there.

"You better move."

His eyes followed your small figure cursing himself for thinking how beautiful you are, giving you a poker face, he didn't expect a meeting like this, nor you getting so upset.. he was supposed to be the one that is upset.. after all you left him.. after all you broke up with him, you didn't give him explanation.. you left... you walked away from your dream.. from being a hero...this is his chance to ask.. this is his chance to close this chapter. . . but not right time darn it.. should he pursue it? Should he ask you here and now?

But if he starts making a big fuss his prey will run away.. broker will move meeting and he couldn't risk it... he needs to know where that criminal was... 

He didn't even object to your voice... cold cold voice... after everything you two went through... for fucks sake be a man... and ask her...

He saw your body moving, you passing right near him, feeling like time stopped between both of you, the familiar scent you always had, the perfume he bought you.. the same smell... it stayed with you... 

...you still continued to buy the same little bottle of it? ever since he gave it to you?

The scent brought him back to a past.. to your warm hugs and objections... to confessions and teasing you two did... both of you were so close so how come it ended like this?

"I am glad that you are okay..."

Your voice echoed in his ears. He wasn't expecting this coming from you. Again that warm voice you only had for him... seems your control slipped away a bit.. seemed that you wanted to say it so damn much that you lost it and regret it... regret a single bit because you made yourself a fool... you just had to... stop... no hope... be cold...

He breathed out, letting out a sigh, small smile was on his face as he relaxed a bit, but he felt the door opening and closing, standing in place as he knew he couldn't rush to get you, to talk... to ask all the questions.

"Shoto is everything all right?"

Shoto moved ahead like it didn't affect him, mumbling to Alex ' get everyone in position and ready'.

Uraraka's eyes met his, she saw emotions on him, since they were classmates and she had a feeling that he is in such a pain right now that it almost made her cry.

"She still cares for you dearly..."

Uraraka's words left her lips, moving slowly.. as if the time stopped but Shoto just walked next to her giving a short tap on the head 'we need to focus on the given task' he muttered as if he was talking to himself and getting ready to meet up with this broker.

"Fuck..."

You cleaned up your eyes, small tears falling down your cheeks as you felt the emptiness greet you in such a familiar way all these years. But now it was way stronger.... such a pain you knew you've deserved it.

"Hurts... a lot..."

You've mumbled.

He is so beautiful... such a man he became...

"Are you alright?"

Gentle voice greeted you this time, standing next to you, with slight tap on your shoulder making you look at the person's face.

It was Shojiro.

"We don't have to do this you know...?"

His voice trailed a bit, seeing you in such state, but right away you brushed it off and had a smile, giving him a confident look even though you didn't feel confident at all.

"It's our job to find the criminal isn't it?"

You gave him a big smile.

"So, let's do it."

You said it and touched the door, a bit of fear showing on your features knowing that he is there too, that he is there maybe with someone.. a certain woman? Why is he there though? Specific reason? Or is he...

What crossed your mind was that maybe he was searching for Black Rose too...

...that broker...

You've pushed the door without thinking and waltzed in, Shojiro getting surprised and following you inside, you, rushing ahead to see where is that person only to be too late.

There was no one there... the person that you were supposed to meet up with didn't came... huh why? Did Shoto's group fuckted it up?

You've searched Mineri and saw her still sitting with Jiro, that was struggling with certain things or words, that her face was full of second thoughts and when she saw you... she turned her head away.

Mineri's eyes met yours, looking like a child caught doing something bad, she looked away.

"What?"

Your mind said...

Looking around you could see that mission failed.

"FUCK."

Your mind screamed... broker isn't here? They decided not to show up?

Its his fault.. that damn Shoto... damn his hero group... DAMN IT ALL!

Your mind screamed.

Your anger was there, your eyes were searching for the man, only to see him on the other side of the pub, taking paper and then burning it with his hand.

"That damn..."

You mumbled biting your lip.

"I am going to find that bitch. I swear.."

You mumbled, Shojiro standing next to you, and then you pushed the man away going outside.

"Capt should I bring others?"

You were holding the door.

"No, let them stay."

With that you walked away, trying to think were did you made mistake, why the broker didn't show up, and why all of the sudden Todoroki Shoto decided to be here at this time?
