Tamaki's pov

I looked over one of the sheets of paper that I had which had a picture of a butterfly. I stuck my hand in my rucksack, pulling out the felt-tip pens Shoto had bought me last I was in hospital. I unwrapped the bandage across my left arm, looking down at the heavily scared skin. My fore arms were covered in scars from both the cutting and the scratching, older scars having faded to white but you could still see them. Above my elbow was only scars from the cutting, all of them old but not all of them faded. I ran my fingers across them, the feeling different every time my finger went from unscarred skin to scarred skin. I picked up a light blue coloured pen, using my teeth to pull off the lid of the pen. I looked over at the photo for a second before slowly drawing a wing on my wrist. I had drawn two wings when the door to my room was pushed open. Before I had a chance to register what had happened. Someone small had ran over and was doing their best to climb up onto the bed. When the got on, they hugged onto my waist, face buried in the hospital gown.
"I'm sorry that I made you run away" a small voice sniffled. I recognized the long white hair.
"I.....I......." I didn't know how to respond to that. I looked up. Amajiki and a blond guy were there. I started shaking, mouth opening and closing with nothing to say.
"S-sorry Tamaki. Eri and Mirio w-wanted to come along" Tamaki apologized, shuffling on his feet and stretching the sleeve of his cardigan.
"Hello. I'm Mirio Togata, I was one of the people who fought most of your class. I don't think I remember fighting you though" the blond stated, placing a hand on his chin.
"I didn't take part in the fighting. I was under strict orders to stay out of any physical activities including talking" I mumbled, mind straying back to the whole suicide attempt that I'd failed at. He smiled at me with this bright smile.
"Eri was so upset for a real long time. Thought you'd ran off because of her even though we kept telling her that it wasn't her fault" he explained. I looked down at Eri who had placed her head in my lap, hands tucked under her chin and the side of her head pressed against my stomach.
"Mr Aizawa said that when she found out you were back, she kept crying and begging to see you and apologize" Tamaki mumbled, looking down at the floor. I looked down at Eri who was now looking up at me with tear filled eyes. I gently wiped them away.
"You're alright. You did nothing wrong" I whispered to her, bending down so she could hear me. She sniffled, wiping her nose on her arm. I smiled slightly to which she responded with a smile of her own, eyes sparkling.
"Wow. You cheered her up pretty quickly. I'm impressed" Togata chuckled. I blinked at him, tilting my head.
"Oh right. Here I got you a cupcake. Thought it would help cheer you up" he added, handing over a brown paper bag.
"I can't eat this. I'm not allowed to eat sugary foods right now" I mumble, staring down.
"One cupcake won't hurt, just give it a try" He encouraged. I sighed, opening the bag and pulling out a blue frosted cupcake with an edible red butterfly on it. I looked up at the two teens.
"It was specially made for you. Had it coloured like your boyfriend's powers, Fire and ice. Nice right?" Togata smiled. I pulled away the cupcake wrapper and took a small bite.
"This is really nice. Its been forever since I had something this sweet" I spoke in awe, taking another bite.
"What? That's a crime" he joked while Tamaki shook his head with a small smile spread across it. I smiled slightly. This guy was funny. It definitely helped lift my mood, even if it was only a little.
