Chapter 8: Was it Really a Dream?

"I can wrap my arm up myself." Todoroki rips his arm away, "No you can't. You can't wrap it up yourself, please just let me help.." he shakes his head, "No. I don't need your help." I feel a pit in my stomach, "I'm sorry if I upset you during the training, but you need medical attention." I gently take his unharmed arm and make him sit on the bed, I grab the a wet rag and gently clean the cuts I had made on his arm, suddenly the pain hits him and he grimaces, "You were running on adrenaline. I'm really sorry for hurting you, I didn't realize it was this deep."

He doesn't say anything, just looks at me coldly. I take sterile gauze and wrap it around the wounds gently applying pressure. "How did you even know those moves?" My eyes widen, "It's not safe for a girl to be out past dark, especially in the Kamino Ward." His eyebrows furrow, "I learnt how to defend myself incase someone..." My voice trails off, he still looks at me, slightly confused. I sigh, "In case someone tried to... To hurt me... *Again...*" His eyes widen for a split second understanding the way I said hurt meant something else. I gently take his hand, "Why did you back me against that wall?" I check his hand for any injuries, "It wasn't on purpose. Did you really have to put your knee between my legs?" I look at him, "I mean it distracted you didn't it?" He looks away, "I thought you were going to kiss me or something." I place my hand under his chin and make him look at me, "Do you want me to kiss you?" His eyes widen before he glares at me, "Of course not." I smirk, "You lose again." He looks down at his arm to see it's wrapped up. "How did you..."

I gently pull his shirt to where he's closer to my face, "The trick is to keep you distracted." He pushes me away, "Do you always flirt with guys?" I look at him, "I wasn't flirting. I was keeping you distracted while I tended to your wounds." I look over at the bed next to this one to see Izuku. "Oh, hey Izuku." He gives me a sad smile, "Hey Hosh-" I cut him off, "Alright, what's wrong?" He looks at me, "It's just- I missed your fight, and I feel really bad Because you had a panic attack.." I smile, "I'm fine Izu, but I'm kinda glad you missed it..-" he looks at me confused, "Remember how I made you push that car so I could practice attacking with knives?" He looks at me, "Didn't you end up pushing it?" I rub the back of my neck sheepishly, "Oh, right... That was before you had muscles." He sweatdrops, "I wasn't that weak was I?" I look at him, "You literally fell flat on your face oh- that reminds me, I have a picture of it!" His eyes widen, "When did you?" I sigh, "After I finished my set of four hundred crunches." Todoroki sighs, "Can you let go of my arm?" I look down to see that the blood has finally stopped, "Yeah, your good now, oh by the way, you could use some help on English."

He glares at me, "No I don't." I sigh, "You got 78% of the answers right. You have two choices, get help from me... Or Present Mic." He sighs, "Fine." I smile, "Alright, 1309 Sakura drive. And Todoroki, once again, I'm really sorry... I feel like I pissed you off." I look over at Izuku, "Izuku, you can leave without me. I need to do something.." I can't tell if the sadness is evident in my voice or not, "What do you- oh, it's about him right, well see ya Hikari-" I flinch, "I guess Hokori rubbed off on you too, huh De- Izuku." I give him a sad smile and head up to the roof.

I stare up at the sky, as I lean on the railing. I hear the roof door open but I don't pay any attention, "Hokori... Ya know, I never told you how much I cared did I? Now you're gone and there's nothing I can do... You were right in front of me... I could have reached you, so why?"

"Hey... Ya know I love you right? You and Izuku were always there for me. I can't believe you left me... Why couldn't you have just told me? I-I won't accept that you're gone... I won't forgive the fact that you're no longer here. GOD PLEASE, GIVE HIM BACK!! GIVE THIS PERSON BACK TO ME!!!" I feel the tears slip down my cheeks... "You're voice... LET ME HEAR YOUR VOICE ONE MORE TIME PLEASE!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE ON?! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME MURA?! WHY! YOU PROMISED!" I break down into sobs, "How could you... Did you not want me anymore... Why... Why?? Why?! I know it's been a year... But they never found you... Please... Don't be gone... I-I don't want you to be gone..." I fall to my knees and end up punching the ground until my knuckles bleed. "Why... mura... Do you not care? I will never forgive the fact that you're no longer here..." My knuckles hurt badly, "Hoshi...?" I turn to see Todoroki, I turn away and stare at my hands, the blood drips down onto the ground. He slowly approaches me.
