Behind a smile

Part 4~ New homes, old feelings (Yuta, Hazama and Jei)

Waking up was different than any time before; I wasn't harshly shoved off my bed or desk, I wasn't having a dramatic temperature change welcoming me, it was just peaceful.

I tried to roll over into a more comfortable position when I felt restraints on my limbs.

Panic quickly engulfed me as I tried to escape my bindings.

•Izuku calm down it's alright, we're safe.• Mei told me quickly.

I calmed down at my sister's voice, taking deep breathes I calmed myself down.

Where was I?

“Hello, Mr Midoriya do you remember what happened?” A new voice asked me. I turned to see a man with short blond hair and green eyes.

I shook my head as the man let off a sad sigh. “That’s probably for the best. I’ll go get the doctor to come check you over.” He told me as I titled my head. What happened?

Knowing the Koi would remember I asked him. •Koi what happened?•

•Do you really want to know?• Koi asked me as I nodded.

•Yes, please Koi what is going on?• I asked him as he sighed.

•Father tried to kill us.• koi told me as all the memories came back to me; Yawara and Ryuko, father Eraserhead. I remembered a let out a shaky breath as I calmed myself down.

•Thank you, for telling me, Koi.• I thanked as I tried to close my eyes.

“Are you tired?” A female voice asked me as I looked up. I saw a girl with short black hair and purple eyes looking over me.

“A little.” A responded quietly as I tried to move away from her.

“Don’t be afraid little one. I’m not going to hurt you.” She told me as I watched her cautiously.

“Outa tells me that you didn’t like your restraints and tried to fight against them. Would you like me to remove them?” She asked me as I nodded shyly.

She moved closer to me and removed the straps on my arms. I sat up slowly as I rubbed my wrists clear bruises covering them.

“I’m going to just do a quick test to see how you are doing so stay still.” She ordered me as I started to shake. “What’s wrong?” She asked me softly as I shook my head.

“N…nothing I… I’m fine…” I stuttered quietly. I’m not meant to fight back. I’m not meant to stutter I was going to be punished.

“Please, there clearly is something wrong. How about we just sit and talk for a while rather than doing anything.” She suggested.

“No… it… it is okay…” I stuttered, I was wasting her time. Her boss would get mad.

“Midoriya, do you realise that you mutter your thoughts?” she asked me as I gave her a confused look.

“What do… what do you mean?” I asked her as she smiled sadly.

“You said that you were wasting my time and that my boss would get mad. Earlier you said that you weren’t meant to fight back or stutter and that you were going to be punished. Mr Midoriya did your father tell you that?” She asked me after her explanation.
