𝔼𝕣𝕒𝕤𝕖 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥? [ON HOLD]

33

Soon Wednesday came around the corner and our internships were to start, "I want everyone to know that you are not allowed to use your quirks unless told by your interned manager. Failure to do so will result in consequences beyond your imagination."

I see multiple classmates shiver at his speech, I just put my head down on my desk.

"Grab you costume, and get ready to go." I lift my head and stand to find my number 10 and then Eijiro.

We were going on the same train to Fourth Kind, and I was honestly quite excited. Though you wouldn't be able to tell with my slouching and bored-looking expression.

"I see the resemblance now," I hear my "brother" say before laughing. "It's uncanny!" I pouted and crossed my arms.

I had gotten my hair cut after school yesterday like I said I would, now it was only to my waist which made it ten times easier to care for.

Not even exaggerating. I did the math.

My head was also lighter which was a plus. You really don't know how much your hair weighs until you cut it. Seriously.

At least I got to keep most of my long hair, that was the first time I think I've ever gotten a real hair cut, so it was interesting.

You're being mean! We don't look that alike!

He just laughed harder, "You're right, you're twins!" I went to punch him in the chest knowing he couldn't use his quirk because of his uniform.

Before I got the chance somebody grabs mr wrist, it was a familiar tone so knew not to look his way.

"Damn dumbass don't hit shitty hair.." He chided before letting my wrist go. I hesitated before landing a hit on my "brother."

Proving that I could do whatever the hell I wanted and didn't have to listen to him. I then turned to him and stuck my tongue out while giving him the bird.

"You really wanna play that way huh? Fine, I wanted to talk to you but I have a train to catch. You better not die on me." His soft nature was showing, the one he only showed with me.

Maybe he really did calm down.. what if I just screwed up?

He begins walking to his train, and I don't do a thing to stop him. I was in too much shock, to fully register that Eijiro was calling my name, trying to get my attention.

What did it all mean? One second he was trying to control me, the next he acts like nothing ever happened. What was his problem?

What wasn't I seeing?

"He's got it bad.." I look to Eijiro to find him looking the same way that I had been. Looking after Bakugou.

What? Is he sick?

"So now you decided to listen? Nothing.. he's not sick, it's just.. do you remember the USJ incident?"

Memories flashed across my mind.

~~~~~
I wanted to shrink as my eyes went farther up, it's face was that of a birds, eyes to the side crazy and deranged looking. Finally it's brain was just hanging out, red veins running across the soft flesh.
~~~~~
The bird creature took his time wrapping his hand around my face and lifting me up, sounds and voices getting fainter by the second.

Within that next second it slammed my head down into the concrete, my vision blacks out for a minute but the darkness didn't block out the sounds.

"Lily!" A hopeless scream of terror came from my father, as my eyes settled on him his face contorted in pain.
~~~~~
"Or what?" The hand man walks to me tracing four of his fingers over my face gently. "You'll put me in jail?" He wraps all his fingers around my neck, disintegrating my skin revealing the muscles underneath.

I scream until I can't anymore, my voice giving out completely. I was being tortured if you wanted to put it simply.
~~~~~

Yes.

I shiver as the sound of my father screaming filled my ears, consuming my thoughts. Along with the cold presence of the Nomu as it slammed my head into the concrete.

Tears pricked my eyes as I continued scribbling.

What about it?

"Well when we were first teleported Bakugou in no way would calm down. He kept muttering about how he had you, and how he needed to see you okay. To be honest I've never seen him more distraught.."

I think back to when he had yelled at the misty guy when he caught him, he was yelling for me.

"When we finally found you and you were so.."

He looked to me, not sure what to say, I just gave the go ahead to keep going as we continued to walk to our train.

"Destroyed.. he at least had an objective.. we both agreed to do our fucking best to protect you. Even after you were hauled into the ambulance he paced.."

Hearing how my injuries had affected him, how my state, how that trama that I went through conencidekd with his own. I understood why he was mad when I said I had helped someone find a friend.

He simply wanted to protect me.

I put my hand up, not needing to hear much more, if I could just make it in time.. his train left in 5 minutes.

I looked to Eijiro and held out my hero costume for him to take. He looked at me, simply knowing what I had to do.

Once it left my hands I ran in the way Bakugou's train was. Searching the sidelines for his ashy blond hair.

Train 667.. 798.. 947.. 223! There it was!

I searched for the spikey Pomeranian, and when he finally came into view he locked eyes with me.

I ran at him at a high speed, "Oi, what're you doi-," I cut him off when I wrapped my arms around his torso and snuggled into his chest. The few tears I had, escaping and drying into his shirt.

He grunted, but returned my hug with one of his own arms. I pulled my chin up to look him in the eyes. He looked angry, and confused. I strained my chords once again, trying to give him my message.

"Sor.... ry....." I watched as his eyes softened, before I started coughing, my throat not used to the strain.

"Don't strain them dumbass.." He smirked as I covered my mouth. I furrow my eyebrows and stick my head back into his chest.

He smelled of caramel and lavender mixed together, it was as if no one else was there.

It was just me and him.

"Oi," I looked back up into his eyes, "I won't harp on you again for helping somebody out, but just keep your guard up next time. I wasn't meaning to treat you like an object, your fault for looking at it that way."

I smiled at him before untangling myself, I felt strangely safe in his arms, which recessed once I pulled away, leaving me feeling exposed.

I started on my way backwards, I kept eye contact with him before giving him my middle finger again.

"Yeah yeah, fuck you too," His smirk widened, and boarded his train, I looked away, grinned to myself, and then began my run back to my own train.

Reaching it on time I see Eijiro just boarding, he hands me back my costume and let's me sit next to him. He had a calm look on his face along with a small smile.

"You smell like Bakugou, sweaty and gross, fix everything?" He asks a little wary. I nodded once, strongly.

Because now I knew the reason he was so upset, he wasn't upset because I talked to a stranger and helped them, it was because they could have potentially been dangerous. And he wasn't there to help me if they were.

He just wanted to protect me. Nothing more. Nothing less.
