His Twin

Fifteen

"Hey, want to get some Cold Soba with me later today?" I ask my brother "I know a great place." 

"Alright, but it better be good." he says walking beside me. "Trust me, it's worth it." I say. 

Time skip

We walk toward the small neighborhood that I grew up in. Shoto was with me since I promised him Cold Soba. "Where are we?" he asks, "Nearing the shop." I smile, taking the beanie off. We walk over to a shop, Azi's, I lead Shoto inside where we were greeted by a standing ovation from the people inside. My right side ignites as I begin to blush furiously. Thankfully I was the only to be in flames. I extinguish the flames, "Geez, a bit of a warning next time please." I say. "You should've been expecting something from us Little Azula." old man Udon points out. Yuki comes over to me and gives me a hug "Don't mind him. He's just mad that he lost a few bets." She glance behind me "You must be her twin." she says, letting me go. Shoto nod "I am Ma'am." But Yuki waves off the formality "There isn't the need for that, just call me Yuki. Azula already told me about all the trouble you two caused your dear mother." 

"I have not yet!" I argue as Muraku walks in behind Shoto. "Come one, I'll show you to our table." I say, grabbing him by the wrist. I lead him over to the back to my table. "Everyone seems to like you." Shoto notes as I release his wrist. "Yeah, you could say I am their best customer. Yuki is the owner here and would help take care of me when my previous care taker was away." I say, I'm not sure if Dabi wants Shoto to know about him yet. "That's sound nice." he says "Are we going to get a menu?" I shake my head "Nope, she knows what to bring for us." I rest my head on my hand, just as Muraku makes his way over to the table. "Why Azula, I can't believe I did not see such a beautiful thing when I arrive." he says, ignoring the fact that my twin is here. "Good-bye Muraku." I groan as he gives me a flirtatious smile "But I have not seen your beauty since you started at UA. I hope they know that the uniform can't hide how gorgeous you are." he better be glad I really want my soba. I casually pick up one of the butter knives and I twirl it in my hand. He gets the message "I better go and help mother in the kitchen, congratulations on getting second place." he says before leaving us. "Wow, I was about ready to ice him." Shoto says, "Already tried that little brother, he claims that he can thaw 'my cold heart with his love.' I kinda want Bakugo to blow him up for me." Muraku is a year older than me and is a lady's man. His main goal is to get me to go out with him since I am the only one that hasn't fallen under his charm. "Here's your Soba dears, it's on the house." Yuki says, bringing the food. "Let me guess, my son was just over here?" I still had the knife in my hand. "Yeah." I say, letting her sit next to me on the bench. "I keep telling him to leave you alone." she sighs. "What's up between you two?" Shoto asks.
"Let's just say his goal in life is for me to fall for him. As you can tell, I am not going to." I say, slurping the noodles "It's very annoying." 

"Can't be worst than Mineta." he points out "Pfh at least a knife to the throat keeps him at bay. Muraku on the other hand, oh trust me, he use the same trick over and over again. Mineta keeps things interesting." I shrug. "You can blame his good-for-nothing father for that." Yuki says "I left that man because all he does is flirt with women as a living. I am about ready to send that boy to his grandmother's to teach him how to treat women." 

She then excuses herself so that Shoto and I can talk among ourselves. "Have you seen Mom recently?" he asks, I nod "Yeah, since school started I have been going about every weekend."
"Do you think you can take me tomorrow?" why does he look like he is on edge "Gladly." I smile, finishing the last of my soba. "Thanks." he smiles softly for a second before going back to his kinda deadpan "So what happened all those years ago?" I know what he means. I knew this was going to come up, but I am still not ready. "It's hard for me to talk about it." I say, placing my hands on my lap, "If you don't want to, you don't have to Sis." he says. "But you deserve to know." I get a text, Dabi saying that he'll be out of town for a few weeks. I quickly text him back, asking if he's at home. He says no. "Come on." I get up and put a few yen on the table, we walk out of the shop. I waving at the regulars, before leading my brother to my home.

"We can talk here." I say, unlocking the door. "This is where you live prior to going to UA?" he asks, I nod "Yeah. Make yourself comfy, I'm going to change real quick." Since we were still in our school attire. "Do you have anything I can borrow?" he asks. "Follow me then." I smile before leading him to my bedroom.
