Touya POV

I reach Twice's apartment complex at 12:30 AM. I walk up to the fourth floor, and head to room 20.

I knock on the door 3 times, adjusting the strap on my bag. A couple seconds later, the door opened.

"What the-"

Twice had answered the door wearing a sombrero and weird sunglasses singing 'Coconut Sharks'.

"Heya Touya!" He says, ushering me in.

"Uh Twice?" I begin. "Please Don't call me that."

"Uh, ok. Then what do you want me to call you?" He asks.

"Dabi."

"That's a weird name, my friend," He says laughing. "Anyway, come in."

I step into the apartment, which was pretty big.

"By the way," Twice begins. "You look like shit. Like damn End*vor really fucked up." I roll my eyes. "Anyway, guest bedroom is to your right. Plop your stuff there and then we can watch nature documentaries and eat pop tarts!"

"Mkay. Anyway, can I fix my skin and dye my hair here?"

"Go ahead. I have no regards for my bathrooms safety."

I snort. I walk over to the guest bedroom and unpack. It was pretty easy, considering I've had little to pack in the first place. After I finish unpacking, I grab my staple gun, staples, gloves, and hairdye.

"This is gonna hurt like hell..." I mumbled and pulled out the staple gun.

I had to STAPLE MY SKIN back together.

That's how bad the burns where.

And boy was I right when I said it hurt.

The metal dug into my burnt skin and just stayed there. It was like a thousand needles where puncturing my flesh, and twisting to do maximum damage.

I could barely hold in a scream as over 20 staples embedded themselves in my skin.

(A/N I have no idea how to dye hair, so just bare with me)

I cleaned up the blood, and pulled on the gloves to dye my red hair. Dying the tips was fairly easy, but as I got closer to the scalp it got harder.

"TWICE! CAN YOU HELP ME DYE THE ROOTS?!" I yell.

"Go back to sleep, and starve."

"WHAT DOES THAT EVEN M E A N?" I reply. A couple minutes later, Twice enters the bathroom.

"Sorry dude, I did it for the meme." I roll my eyes. "Oof- did those hurt?" He asked, pointing at the staples.

"Hurt like a buttcheek on a stick."

"I see you are a dank memer like I," Twice says, laughing. "Anyway, I'll help you dye the roots. My mom used to be a hairdresser, so she taught me how to dye hair."

I hand the hair dye over to him, and pass him some extra gloves. Twice slips them on and climbs on top of the sink.

"My bro, what are you doing?" I ask.

"Well... there isn't a fridge I can climb up on..."

"W H A T."

"But that's not the point! I'm up here because your waaaay taller than me. I can't reach the top of your head." I laugh and flick his ankle.

"Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this," Twice muttered, and begins dying the roots.

"Thanks, bro."

"No problem dude," Twice reassured. "Hey, wanna come with me to a friend's house?"

"Why?"

"'Cause I don't wanna go alone," He replied as his fingers massaged my hair. "Plus, you need friends."

"I don't need friends, they disappoint me."

Twice gasps, and puts a hand over his heart. "What am I? Chopped liver?"

"You could say that," I mumble. Twice whacks my head. "Adam!"

"Wow, you look like a completely new person," Twice says, throwing out the empty hair dye container and gloves. He does finger guns and smirks, running out of the bathroom. "Anyway, we leave in an hour."

"I didn't even agree!"

"Words can't stop me!" He yells. "I am immortal-SHIT!!!"

I hear some crashing followed by a 'Bitch Lasagna'. I step out of the bathroom to see what happened. Twice apparently fell down the stairs, and was stuck in a laundry basket with a pan on his head.

"This wouldn't have happened if he went to Shiratorizawa," I muttered.

"Dude, you watch that too!?" Twice asks. I nod, and was debating whether I should pull a Rapunzel with the pan. "Cool! Anyway, let's watch some anime!"

"Fine by me," I said, going into the kitchen to grab pop tarts and candy.

Twice jumps out of the laundry basket and Naruto runs to the living room. He plops down on the couch and pulls up Crunchyroll. I sit down next to him and open a pack of poprocks, pouring some in my mouth.

"Man, god really be picking favorites right now," Twice mumbled.

"Yeah," I reply. "I mean, have you SEEN Oikawa?"

"Totally unfair," He agreed. "Holy shi- we need to skeet skeet over to my friends place! We're gonna be late!"

"Eh," I say. "Let's go to the store to get some snacks first."

"Sure. Hold up- lemme see how much cash I got," Twice says, pulling out his wallet. I look over his shoulder.

He had $60 and a coupon for 'two free tacos'.

"Noice. Let's head out!"

"To defeat the huns!" Twice says, pulling on his shoes.

I tug on a hoodie and lace up my sneakers, and then we head out. We walk a couple blocks to the store, the sun warming our faces. When we got to the store, we made a b-line for the snack section.

We each grabbed our desired food, and made our way to the check-out counter. After checking out, we head for Twice's friends house.

"So what's your friends name?" I ask.

"Her name's Toga," Twice replies. "She likes knives."

"To be honest, who doesn't?" I retort, and Twice laughs.

"To-Dabi, I knew things where bad... but this is just complete crap."

Besides my siblings, Twice is the only one who knows about my... condition. He was always there to help me, especially when things got bad. Believe it or not, but his friendship means a lot.

Twice also outright supported me when I came out as gay, which strengthened our bond significantly. Since then I've told him everything, and he does the same for me.

So naturally, when he asked where the staples, new name, and hair dye came from, I answered. Twice look shocked, and then looked angry. Kind of like Natsuo.

Man, I miss Natsuo already.

"How is your 'dad' even a hero after all of this?" He muttered, shaking his head.

"Honestly? I have no idea."
