Why you? (hotwangs ship)

12 Years

Shouto's P.O.V

It was 12 years ago today that Touya went missing. Although Endeavor rarely let me see my siblings, on the few rare occasions he did it was always Touya who could put a smile on my face. It seemed that no matter how hard it got that he would always be able to make anyone smile. I remember one particularly rough day after Endeavor made me go through a more extreme training session. After a while I couldn't take it and he gave up on me for the day. As soon as he left I ran to my siblings, Fuyumi and Nastuo were outside but I wasn't aloud to go out there. However Touya was still inside I didn't think about why that was I just ran into his arms and cried. We sat on his bed with me in his lap while he just comforted me a while. He made me gently look up at him and said, "Listen Shouto, no matter what happens I will always be there for you even if you can't see me just know that I'm there. Ok?" I just nodded because if I tried speaking I would just start crying again. He had no idea how much those words meant to me. After all I was a 4 year old boy who's own mother couldn't look at him sometimes. To be far though Touya looked almost exactly like Endeavor meaning mom never so much as looked at Touya without getting upset. Later that night we presumed as we would any other normal night. We ate dinner and afterwards Endeavor took me to go train more. But halfway into the session Touya came in the room. "What are you doing in here boy get out now." Endeavor said in his usual tone and Touya replied with so much confidence I couldn't believe it, "No I'm done with you hurting everyone." I'm guessing that Fuyumi could feel something bad about to happen and she dragged me out of the room leaving Touya alone with him. After a while of them fighting Touya got too burnt to continue. Mom actually helped treat him, it was the first time in ages they hung out together peacefully. Endeavor went on a night patrol mainly to get out of the house I'm guessing. Later that night I couldn't sleep due to bad dreams so I slipped into touya's room like I usually did when I couldn't sleep. However this night was different, not only did he have his arms and legs wrapped, but parts of his face too and he also had a small backpack. "Touya? Where are you going?" I asked very worried. "Hey bud don't worry" he ruffles my hair before continuing, "I'm just going to spend the night at a friend from schools house" I didn't want him to go because then I wouldn't be able to sleep so I asked "Can you stay until I fall asleep?" He nodded and then we laid in his bed together a while until I fell asleep. It was that night that I saw him for the last time ever. After a week of not finding him anyways Endeavor just said he's probably dead, and I truly believe that was the breaking point for mom. Everyone except for Endeavor was heartbroken over Touya's loss. And we all blamed it on Endeavor which he didn't even try to deny. After that mom started spending a lot more time in Touya's old room so that she could still feel like he was there, she cried everyday and she hated Endeavor more and more every second for killing her first born child, her eldest son the kid she wanted to spend more time with the most. A week of this passed and Endeavor locked up Touya's room saying it was best for him to be left as a memory only and nothing else. That's what finally pushed mom overboard, and she poured boiling hot water onto my face to try and erase that damned old mans face.

Rei's P.O.V

12 years ago today I lost my son to Endeavor. The grief always overwhelmes me on this day. I cant help but feel partialy guilty for not being able to save my sons life. I blame myself for him having to die with barely spending any time with me, with me hating him so much just becuase of his looks even though he was going through worse then me. I blane myself for losing it and burning Shouto, but the hospital has been good for me. Its really helped me to start the slow road of mental recovery from him. I just wish that I could go back to a time where Touya was still alive and hug him as tight as I can and kiss him all over his face and tell him how much I love him and how amazing and handsome he was. He used to love when we played guitar or piano together. What I wouldnt give to have one more moment like that with him.

(Damn this got emotional, oh well. It'll get better?)
