Touya Todoroki- the runaway kid

Chapter 17 - Painting

The very next day an anomaly occurred.... Aizawa Shota the Erasing hero got up in the morning as in not past 8:00 am. Anyways getting that phenomenon the girl was current curled up fast asleep in the comforts of her bed when Aizawa left. He couldn't put of what had happened and always wanting a light on was maybe something Touya needed to get past. She had managed to live on the streets for what 3 years maybe 4 maybe 2 he didn't know for sure but she was deadly afraid of waking up in the dark.

It just doesn't make sense.

He shrugged and ambled of to a store and no for once not a coffee shop. He had called Hizashi to meet there due to him not being asked to carry the equipment home. The bird and cat eventually made it home and it was weirdly silent. Touya had been with them for what a week and she had seemed to be able to get a talk out of anything. She had the weird ability to brighten the mood without trying very hard. Eventually Mic curiously broke the silence.

"So why did we need all of this?" He asked

"I found out what Dabi's fear was ish?"

"Which was?"

"It was more like ptsd as if you see it on a man whose served..."

"Which was?"

"She's scared of the dark." Hizashi snorted...

"Your not joking are you." Aizawa shook his head. "What happened."

"In short. She freaked out and began screaming and then passed."

"... that's not...."

"She was begging for people not to hurt her and she lit herself on fire and the moment she saw me told me to get back and she couldn't control it. She looked so scared and paled and fragile and it just reminded me she really was a kid."

The settled back into the silence. Aizawa opened the door to the apartment to see a hell of a lot of pancakes. Like 100 maybe a bit more stacked up.

"Dabi?"

Her head peaked around from the massive stack and she shrugged and laughed nervously. "Uh I messed up making to much and then..."

Aizawa totally tuned out after hearing the first of many excuses she had prepared up. She had flour and milk all over herself at least bit wasn't on any surfaces. Wait why was she up?!

"Why are you up anyways?"

"Well I was on my phone when a few videos came up like 5 minutes crafts... those are dodgy as and then food recipes and I thought why not. Then I heard the door leave and got up."

"Why not get up before... what did you get no sleep?"

"Sleep is for the weak."

"Agreed."

"Hizashi go run her a bath then you get all of the pancakes if you do that." Shouta said

Hizashi complied not arguing at all at this like usual but he left with a smirk. He was definitely planning something.

"Hey Dabi I got some paints and glowing stickers so you don't need a nightlight."

"Is this mocking me? Cause if it is I'm in I wanna paint my room."

She laughed.

"Okay I've done the bath." Hizashi smirked

Touya walked past the blonde cockatoo.

"I'm so smart."

"That's debatable."

"Oh wait to see the ice bucket prank I did on her."
