Chapter One : Flashbacks

[A/N] : Hey! Thanks for reading! I just need to say a few things first. I am not confirming or stating that anything has been confirmed about Dabi being a Todoroki. I'm just going by the fandom and conspiracy. I also haven't read the Manga so i'm just going off of the show. So with that being said, if im leaving out or have mistaken any information please feel free to kindly correct me. Also, if you think you have some good idea for the story, please message me! OH and if you're unsure on how to pronounce Hatsue Akamae,  i  pronounce it [HOT-SUE-WEE] [AWK-UH-MAY]

*Flashback Dream*

"Hatsue, I have to leave."

Those words have rung in my head for the past 4 years. I can still remember what he wore and what he looked like that day when we were only 13 years old. We had hung out that entire day prior and he walked me home. I still remember the look on his face when he promised to come back, but he has yet to return. Most of everything in the past few years have been a blur, but i can still remember exactly what i said back at him once we stopped at my front door. "leave? What are you talking about?" i questioned, tilting my head in confusion. "Im leaving town... for a while. And i'm leaving tonight." he said to me. "Touya, tonight? no. why?" i spoke, trying not to tear up.

He looks at me with a fear in his eyes, "Look, i cant do this anymore. I hate to be this selfish and leave without Shoto and Fuyumi, But Enji is a monster! I need to get out of this house." He grabbed ahold of my hand and gently squeezed it. I was caught off guard when he called his father by his first name, "you mean your father?" i asked, letting him squeeze my hand. I could see a tear run down his cheek. I pulled my long sleeve shirt over my hand to wipe it off. He grabbed my hand in his, letting it rest on his face. "That man is no father to me." his words struggled almost as if he were to start balling but he held it in. "You can just stay at my house." i spoke with words that were so soft, they struggled to come out. "No, i cant. Your house would be the first place he'll look." he shook his head quick but short.  "well-" i paused, starting to think if this was the last time seeing my best friend or not. With him still holding my hand, i spoke again, "will you come back? ... Or will i ever see you again?". He froze at my words and moved his hands to my shoulders pulling me into his embrace. His smell was indescribable but i loved it. His smell was always so comforting and welcoming.  

"Of course you'll see me again. I can't promise you that i'll come back here, but i can promise that i'll come back for you, Hatsue. And you will see me again". His words were so gentle and almost made me melt. "I pinky promise". 

"i don't know what to do without you, Touya.", i said still in his warm hug. I moved my head into his shoulder as my eyes started to water. I didn't want him to leave. We've been friends since diapers, and our moms were also super close friends. I start to feel him move to reach into his pocket leading me to move myself from his embrace. He pulled out a necklace and reached to put it around my neck. "Here... i made this for you. The charm is a blue gem because it's my favorite color and also the color of my flames. So, you always have a piece of me even when i'm gone." I started to feel slightly guilty about taking this necklace with nothing in return. "Oh, Touya. I didn't get you anything... now i feel bad", i said touching the necklace. "Don't worry", he pulled up his arm and rolled up his sleeve revealing the scar on the side of his arm from overpowering his ability. He pointed at the bracelet on his wrist which resembled my necklace. "I also made a matching bracelet for me so knowing you have the matching necklace, every time i look at it, i'll think of you" he smiled. "Also they say that if we touch the gem at the same time, it'll glow; but im pretty sure thats bullshit." he continued. "Touya, language", I took a hand and shook it through his red hair almost laughing at his remark. "Now, you should really get inside. it's late", he spoke soft to me. He moved his body towards me and leaned in closer.  Before i could even catch a breath, his lips were gently touched on mine. Wow, this was my first kiss and it was with Touya! My heart flustered with so many feelings and i didn't know how to control it. The kiss didn't last long. It was quick and amateur granted it was both our first time. Touya moved so now he was looking at me, deep and sincere, "I love you, Hatsue".

All i can remember is that my heart flustered with an entire new feeling that was warm and comforting almost like his smell. I then realized that I loved him too. I always have, but just now realizing. Tears started to blur my vision but cleared as soon i felt the coolness drip down my cheek, "Touya, I- I love you too.", He then gave me another long hug, "see you soon, punk.", he softly whispered in my ear. Not wanting to let go, i mumbled into his shoulder, "I sure hope so."

He looked at me and cracked one of his infamous smirks that i would die to see again. He eventually turned away and started to walk in the other direction of his house, eventually emerging into the darkness. I dropped to my knees trying not to sob so loud. As i watched him go further my heart sinks into my stomach giving me an almost sickening feeling. "please, Touya", i said in between sobs to myself hence he was too far to hear me, "please come back soon". I was then left in the darkness in my front steps where he just was, and now he's gone without knowing when he'll return.

Present Day

My body shot up to wake my self up. Damnit, I had the dream again; third time this week.  Although, I wouldn't really call this a dream, it's more like a nightmare. Every time i have that dream, it makes me feel sick all day. After 4 years, i have given up on hope that Touya is ever coming back. The thought of him dead crosses my mind a lot, and only makes me feel more sick. i touch my necklace as my eyes started to water, "Oh Touya-", i said to myself in the mirror, "Please- please come back". 

Today i was starting my 3rd year at UA, which was kind of nerve raking. My stomach stirred with anxiety. I looked in the mirror to see my messy long dark blue hair in all the wrong places. I wiped my tears and took my brush and combed out all the tangles, "better" i say to my reflection. I took my time putting on my uniform hence i didn't feel so well. I sat on the edge of my bed and starred at the framed picture of me and Touya on my nightstand. I smiled at how happy we looked. I was shaken out of my daydream to a knock on the door of my dorm room, "Hatsue, are you ready?" i heard my friend, Keiko, from behind the door. "we're gonna be late!" she added. I Quickly shot up and headed to my closet, "yeah, i'll be out in a sec!" i yelled back. I pulled out mu uniform and quickly put it on. I grabbed my back pack and pulled it over my shoulder and walked out the door. I know Touya would have made it into UA; and with a quirk like his, he could have been in the top 3.  Im so close to being in the top 3: good grades, good quirk, and good fighting style.

I met up with Keiko in the common room, "i'm ready!" i explained rushing to her side. I first met Keiko during our first year when we both were put into Hero Course: Class 1-B. I was always so jealous of her. She had the most beautiful long blonde hair, and purple eyes that the guys drooled over. Well, that wasn't necessarily what they drooled about, but she does have pretty eyes. She also had a quirk that made her the ultimate badass; Telekinesis. I know, sounds pretty mainstream, but once you see her on the battle field, you'll wish you'll never have to compete against her. 

Keiko Satomi: 3rd Year Hero Course Student:

Quirk: Telekinesis. She can lift any object with her mind, no matter the size! Although, the bigger the object, the more energy is used. She can also move that object in any direction she wants. Her Quirk can also be used on people, which gives her a huge advantage on the battle field!

Keiko and I started to walk towards the school building. I honestly loved living in dorms on campus. For one, we were a lot closer to the school and also, we have time to sleep in a little longer or have more time to get ready. "Hey Hatsue, Nala and I are going to the mall after school, do you want to come?" Keiko questioned. I looked at her and smiled, "yeah! i would really like that!" i giggled back. Before we knew it, we arrived at the massive school and started headed to our class where we met Nala and a few others. we entered the classroom and found our seats. Moments later, our homeroom teacher, Midnight, walked in. "Good morning class, I hope you guys are aroused for a new school year!" she exclaimed to the class. Oh gosh, why does every thing she says have to sound so sexual. You'd think after 3 years of having her as our homeroom teacher, we'd be used to it, but no, it just makes the boys a little excited. I look around my class and think to myself, this is the last year, we'll have to be sitting in these damn desks and having to sit through midnight teasing all the hormonal teenage boys in the room. I couldn't tell if i was happy or sad that this was our last year. I feel like i still have so much to learn. But i know we still have an entire year of hard work and training. This was not going to be an easy ride.
