Reflections and Confessions

Todoroki POV //

Pain. I thought I knew what it was but this was different. I felt on fire. I felt like a hot hair balloon doomed to die floating but yet burning. I couldn't move or do anything. I was stuck in the eternal abyss of darkness. I have always welcomed it but this time I wanted anything other than to be alone. I tried to do something but the darkness was all there was. I could feel walls surrounding me yet I couldn't feel them. A door opened the bright light shone in my eyes making me adjust to it. There was a boy. A small white haired boy there.

"Shoto~" He was taunting me.

"Don't you want to get out of here? Hmm? If you stay with them bad things will happen." I couldn't respond but some how I think he knows what I am thinking. No. I don't want to go with you Touya. I have friends and a crush.

"HE DOESN"T LOVE YOU SHOTO!! But I do. Don't forget see you at midnight behind the cabin that you were at" With that he disappeared leaving me painfully in the darkness. I felt like I could speak again.

"hello?" It came out as a small rasped whisper. The dark walls were closing in on me. I hate close spaces. This time I could feel the walls. They felt like concrete.

"Nooooo please no I don't want to die!!"

Shoto?

"Please help!" They were getting closer to the point of where my arms couldn't straighten out fully.

wake up

I saw a light and then realized I was on a bed in the cabin. Bakugou was towering over me wearing bandages here and there.

"You were muttering." He sat on the edge of the bed. With his hand now on the nape of his neck. HE turned his head. I tried to sit up only to have him gently push me down.
"You need to rest those fucker really messed you up." I looked at him noticing many what looked like bruises and scratch marks.

"You looked pretty fucked up as well." I rasped. He reached the table beside me and grabbed a glass full of water. He held it up to my mouth and I drank it down quickly.

"Slow down Icy-hot. I don't want you to waterboard yourself." He pulled the cup away and set it on the table. He looked back down at his hands. The awkward silence overtook us.

"... Sho-......Todoroki can you uh- can you please tell me what happened with Dabi?" The nightmare I had was replaying in my head.

He doesn't love you

"I....don't know where to start"

Bakugou POV //

"I....don't know where to start" It came out as barely above a whisper.

"I have some time on my hands" I placed my hand cautiously on top of his- freezing cold hand? I looked up into his for the first time since I walked in.

"Did he say something to you?" I think he did.

"like what?" He was avoiding my eye contact completely.

"Todoroki please I know we rarely ever get along but I need you to trust me when I say that I care for you and everyone does too. You are the only one that knows something." He pulled his hand away from mine and cradled it with his other hand as if it was made of porcelain.

"Endeavor....he gets angry sometimes....but it is nothing I can't handle." I cupped my hands gingerly around his tiny hands. This was something that I was already suspicious about. I mean that son of a bitch looks like he hits kids for fun. Our faces were pretty close at this point but when he slowly lifted his head we were so I could feel his breath. A light pink dusted his cheeks. I tried giving him an encouraging smile though it probably looked scary coming from me.

"....well I also had an older brother that always protected me when I was younger but after it got worse he ran away..." He was saying it so softly that if I wasn't this close I don't think I would have even heard his voice.

"Is your brother Dabi?" He only pulled his eyes away from my gaze. I'll take that as a yes. I pulled my hands away and let his freezing cold hands dropped on his chest. His brother is Dabi and they kidnapped us? They basically let us go in fact they did. But why? That fucking green broccoli hair asshole saved us but he is also the one that got us kidnapped in the first place. He has to know more and he was the only one that was conscious the entire time.

"are you ok Kat-Bakugou?" I whipped my head back around looking at a tearful Shoto. I immediately forgot about everything except for him. I laid down next to him on the small bed and held him close to my chest. He began to cling to me like I was his lifeline. His tears soaking my shirt.

"I'm sorry" He said into my shirt. I only held him closer. Though I didn't know what he was thinking or what he was going through he made me feel comfort. I felt tears fill my eyes as well.

After a while his sobbing stopped and I pulled away for a second to see him sleeping. I only leaned down to kiss the crown of his head.

"thank you shoto for making me feel comfort. I love you" with that I let myself drift off.

"I love you too"
