Eri and I walked back to the apartment hand in hand. It had started raining and the moon was slowly rising. Eri let go of my hand to splash in the puddles that were slowly forming. I watched her as a feeling of numbness started to take over. Slowly, as a calm breeze ruffled my hair, all the emotions slipped away. I felt like a stray ghost. I was dead but alive. I wasn't where I was supposed to be. My purposed had been stripped away when I agreed to Nezu's deal. I was supposed to help everybody around me without restrictions. I was supposed to be carefree, no strings attached. I was supposed to be able to leave this world behind whenever I wanted.
I was supposed to be free.
I guess not everything goes your way. Even if your way is the best for everyone around you. Even if your way is the easiest. Even if your way had the prettiest view in the end. I thought back to my mother and father. I thought back to when Kachan and I were friends. I thought back to when I liked All Might, and Hawks, and all the other heroes. I thought back to my moms homemade meals. I thought back to her lullabies right before bed. I thought back to the warm milk she would give me when I had nightmares. How she would never tell me the recipe to make it.
I thought back to before the fire.
The cursed fire that destroyed my life. Just because one careless person threw their lit cigarette into the apartment building's front yard.
One spark.
One gust of wind.
One small flame.
One big fire.
One truck.
One person left behind.
One life, my life destroyed in one blessed second.
A tear rolled down my face and I quickly rubbed it away coming back to the reality I was stuck in. I watched Eri as she jumped around under the rain. Suddenly, Eri fell, tripped, and was crying. I ran to her and pulled her into my arms. I started fast walking towards the apartment building.
"Hey, You ok? Where does it hurt?" I asked her noticing the rips in her clothes. She cried into my shoulder as I comforted her. I ran up the stairs and busted the door open. I sat her down on the couch and grabbed the First Aid kit from the bathroom. As I fixed her up and made her laugh I slowly forgot about the numbness. Eri ran out of the room to change into PJs. I waited for a bit on the couch for her to return her ripped clothes to me but after 10 minutes i went to check on her. She was asleep on the bed with the ripped clothes laid out next to her. She was in her favorite PJs. I smiled and went back to the living room to try and repair the clothes.
I grabbed a small sewing kit and set to work. I had finished patching up the first few rips and was about to start on the last one as the numbness set in again. I tried to ignore it as I continued sewing. Then as I started to get lost in the emotionless void that was slowly suffocating me, I pricked my finger. I yelp, startle. Instead of pain I felt relieved. I didn't question it, I just kept sewing but not even a minute later I pricked myself again. The pain seemed to drag me out from the void. I pricked myself again, finally feeling something since this afternoon. I got up and went to bed after I had finished fixing Eri's clothes.
A/N: Um low key kinda awkward but whatevs! Love ya my little stars <3
