Deku stood next to his desk, the next day, half asleep. Todoroki walked up to him, gently shaking him awake.

 "Hey, you need to go to sleep. Aizawa will understand." Deku shook his head " I'm fine, not even tired. " he said, yawning widely, his eye lids drooping.

Aizawa walked in and Deku tried to stand up straight but collapsed on Todoroki. Todoroki gently picked up the unconscious boy and carried him from the room, with a small nod from Aizawa.

He took him back to the dorms and gently lowered him onto his bed and began to leave. Deku, half awake, reached out and grabbed Todoroki's hand, pulling him back towards him.

Todoroki sighed and settled in next to Deku, who wrapped his arms around him, burying his face in his shirt. Todoroki gently ran his hands through Deku's hair, combing the curls into a ball of fluff.

Deku looked up at him. "We need to find who did that to her."

 Todoroki nodded, feeling his heart constricting. "We will. We won't stop until we do, but you need to sleep." He pushed some of Deku's hair away from his green eyes, glittering with tears "Not sleeping won't help at all."

Deku gave a slight nod before hiding his face in Todoroki's shoulder. Todoroki heard gentle sobs and continued to stroke Deku's hair until he fell into an uneasy sleep.

Todoroki slowly disentangled himself from Deku and walked across the room to Deku's desk. He pulled out one of the notebooks and flicked through the pages, smiling to himself. Deku wasn't close, he hadn't picked up on the League Of Villains being involved or even that it was a student, though he had it down as a possibility.

Deku stirred slightly, probably a bad dream. He had had them a lot recently, whenever he slept, mostly showing Asui sat in a pool of blood. "You didn't save me. What sort of hero are you?" She had always said, or something like that.

Todoroki lay down next to him again, stroking his hair and whispering that it was alright, it wasn't real. He calmed down a bit, lying still again but he still looked troubled.

Todoroki sighed, closing his eyes as well as slowly falling asleep.

~~~~~~~~

The pair was woken up by a gentle knocking.

Todoroki had a dream, similar to Deku's, showing Asui in a pool of blood. However to him,this was an amazing dream. He got to see her face again, that look of betrayal that made his heart race. How fun it would be to see it on everyone else's face as he cut them down like weeds.

Deku got up and opened the door. Iida stood on the door step.

 "Get ready for the night time training. We have half an hour before we need to meet Aizawa."

 Deku nodded wearily.

The night time training, how could they forget. Aizawa had decided that they needed to train more at night, to prepare themselves for night rescues or fights. It would be fun by Aizawa and Midnight. All other teachers would be far away, back in the teachers dorms.

Perfect.
