Pain of the Past

Aftermath

Aizawa sighed. “Now that everyone is safe do one of you care to tell us what happened?”

“Well, Tamaki went to leave almost instantly after you left and we tried to stop him but we couldn’t. We followed him here where he was talking to Thirteen, well, he wasn’t really talking to Thirteen, more Thirteen worriedly asking where we were and Tamaki ignoring him.” Uraraka stated shyly as Kirishima took over.

“Yeah! Then he said something really weird! He said ‘Be quiet. They are here.’ Then this purple mist thing appeared and the villains came out.” He screamed loudly.

“Tamaki started to tease the villain he called ‘Tomura’ he went on about how Tomura couldn’t remember and how Tamaki’s dad didn’t give Tomura a quirk and how Tomura’s master didn’t care.” Todoroki informed calmly.

“He also said, ‘he’s not here. He was never going to be here,’ or something like that just as the villains arrived.” Uraraka announced as Kirishima nodded.

“Ribbit. Then Tamaki started to fight the villains and easily beat them. He had pinned down Tomura when another villain came out, I think Tamaki called him All For One.” Tsu told them as All Might’s face grew even more serious.

“Yeah and he had like a hundred of other villains which attacked as Tamaki dodged and was losing so he realised this mist. It had just got to us when Bakugo started screaming at nothing.” Kirishima explained as Bakugo growled.

“There was something! It must have been that sh*ty b*stard’s quirk!” Bakugo exclaimed loudly.

“Ribbit. Anyway, Bakugo was letting our explosions when Tamaki used some kind of shock wave to push us out of the USJ just before the place exploded.” Tsu finished explaining as Aizawa looked over the group.

“Did Tamaki say how he knew this would happened?” He asked as the group shock their heads.

“A part from the remember part there is nothing. It was clear that Tomura didn’t know who he was though.” Thirteen explained as Aizawa looked at the unconscious boy.

‘Who are you, Tenko Tamaki?’

~Time skip~

Tamaki had been put inside Recovery girl’s office as the teachers tried to contact his family.

“N-no… stop… leave them alone…”

All Might stopped as he looked into the infirmary. He was wearing his yellow suit and was in his ‘Small Might’ form.

Inside the room Tamaki tossed and turned clearly having a nightmare. “No… stop… Don’t do it… stop… Shoto!” Tamaki shot up as he tried to calm himself down.

All Might felt conflicted, should he help his student? Even if he was in this form. What was Tamaki’s nightmare even about? Why did he scream that name? Who was Shoto?

Tamaki had calmed down as he went to his bag. He grabbed something out of it as he crashed onto the bed. “I don’t think I can do this.” Tamaki stated snapping All Might out of his trance. “Red, what do I do? He knows. He could destroy everything. Red, what do I do?” Tamaki tried to stop the tears going down his face but was failing.

All Might sighed as he slid open the door. “Tamaki?”

Tamaki jumped up hiding whatever he had got from his bag.

“Do you want to talk?” All Might asked softly as he sat on the bed.

Tamaki watched him cautiously but slowly sat back down.

“What was your nightmare about?” All Might asked as Tamaki scoffed.

“Normally wouldn’t you introduce yourself, Toshinori?” Tamaki asked with a laugh as All Might’s eyes widened.

“How did you know my name?” All Might asked quietly.

“I know a lot of things. I like knowing it makes people predictable.” Tamaki stated fondly.

“Why do people need to be predictable?” All Might asked as Tamaki sighed.

“If people are unpredictable then I can’t protect E.” Tamaki stated as All Might’s face grew confused. “She is my little sister. We don’t live in a nice neighbourhood so knowing how to get into people’s head helps to keep us safe when we can’t use our quirks.”

All Might watched Tamaki with a sad expression. “What about your parents? Aren’t they keeping you safe?”

Tamaki let out a low sarcastic laugh. “Yeah, sure. In their minds at least.”

All Might knew he would regret it but he asked anyway. “What do you mean?”

Tamaki looked at All Might directly in the eyes before answering. “Our dads were psychopaths who experimented on us. Mine tried to turn me insane.”

“What about your mum?” All Might asked quickly hoping to hear better news.

Tamaki let out a sad sigh. “I don’t know. I haven’t talked to her for over ten years now.”

“What happened?” All Might asked softly as Tamaki sighed again closing his eyes.

“I don’t know, one day we got into a fight. I wanted to be a hero but she didn’t want that. I got upset and ran away. After I calmed down a few hours later, I went back home. She wasn’t there. My friends looked after me after that.” Tamaki finished sadly as he leaned back.

“Do you still live with your friends?” All Might asked as Tamaki shock his head.

“No they… moved.” Tamaki let out a yawn as he stretched.

“You should get back to sleep.” All Might announced as Tamaki collapsed. “Tamaki, what was your nightmare about?”

Tamaki smiled sadly at the hero. “What’s gonna happen if the world doesn’t change.”

All Might wanted to question the stated but Tamaki had already fallen asleep so he left the boy to sleep.

Surprisingly, for Tamaki at least, he didn’t have another nightmare and waking up was boring.

He didn’t really do anything for a few hours as he waited for Recovery girl to check over him.

“You are good to go.” She announced as Tamaki stood up. “Unless there is anything else go to class.”

Tamaki nodded as he headed to class. Why did he feel like he forgot something?

Tamaki opened the door to his classroom. He could see the class and Aizawa sitting in their spaces. Tsu was talking about her siblings pulling a prank earlier that day when Tamaki's eyes widened.

“Oh cr*p E!” He shouted before running out of class and towards his home.
