Boom

Pov. Dabi

"Hey! Twice keep it down in your room!"

It seems like the idot dropped something again. This time it was probably out of glass. He better clean that up later.

I turn to Fluffy, just for safety measures.

?! Where is he?! Alarmed I spin around and ask

"Izuku?"

I panic a bit more until I hear a sniffle that stops me in my tracks. It's coming from under the bar. Bowing down, while resting my hand on the wooden material, I look to see and there is Izuku... Terrified.

I try and reach out to touch him and tell him everything's OK but...

He flinches and yells

"NO PLEASE I'M S-SORRY. I-I...

don't hurt m-me p-please..."

I hug him and rub his back as an attempt to reassure him his safety.

"Shh it's ok, you didn't do anything wrong. There's no need to apologize..."

For the next few minutes the room is filled with Izuku's crying and my soothing words. A heavy atmosphere surrounds everyone. Each of us can relate in some way or another, whether it be as witness or victim.

After a while the sobs fade into smaller sniffles and finally disperse into the quiet sleeping sound of Izuku who fainted onto me.

I look down, a bit relieved that he seems to have calmed down.

...

Since he fell asleep. I picked him up bridal style and carried him to my room. Before I leave Shigaraki turns to me.

"You better explain later got it."

".... If he says it's ok, I will."

Without another word I leave to carry him into my room. All the way up there every step on the stairs feels like a reminder...

I stand before my room and push the door open that hadn't been closed nor locked. Entering the room I make sure to back away closing the door with my back. I walk over to the bed and lay Izuku on the covers... It's not cold enough to put him under the covers with his clothes on.

Finding myself staring at him with a worried expression I turn to leave for downstairs... Though the troubled and pained expression on his face stops me.

It feels like knives being plunged into my chest seeing the one I am rather fond of being tortured, even in his sleep, no wonder he is always on guard... I walk over and place my hand on his forehead...

No fever...

At least something positive. I soothingly caress his cheek and hand until his expression softens into a calmer one. Once I decide that there was enough comfort present in the boy's mind I leave the room quietly.

I lean on the closed door with my back and drown in my thoughts...

I wish I could do something but I know better than anyone that some scars are invisible and hidden in memories and behavioral patterns...

Invisible wounds hurt even more because no one knows they're there. And people only care once your pain turns physical. They don't see your wound and just continue to damage it, sprinkling seemingly harmless words of salt into your gaping cuts while one keeps quiet.

I quietly head to the stairs and take a deep breath before heading down. I arrive downstairs and see Toga, Kurogiri, Shigaraki and Twice gathered, waiting for me to explain.

Toga looks at me expectantly

"So?! What aren't you telling us about Izu?"

I reply a bit aggrivated,

"What do you mean! It isn't my place to tell you guys! It's not like I'm the one fuc*ing responsible for his... His... Trauma !"

Now Shigaraki looks up,

"Trauma?"

"Look the point is, when he's ready he'll tell you guys about it and I'll be next to him, so just wait out...Oh and did you forget he basically just woke up from being at an all hero school to in a house full of villains?! He doesn't have an obligation to trust any of us nor to tell us his personal sh*t! And you out of all people should--should have fuc*Ing known better! -

... I'm heading out now."

Toga and Twice look as if they want to protest but I think those two idiots understand not to push it. They should understand what I mean very clearly. I mean I think, maybe I was a bit harsh... But. No! I have to be harsh with them since Izuku will probably never stand up for himself...

I slam the door to the entrance and head outside. I stop while taking a deep breath of fresh air letting the refreshing, cool, midly humid and smelling of rain air circulate in my lungs in order to clear my head.

I should get a move on... But where do I even wanna go dammit? Should have thought about that before I announced I was going out like a jerk. Whatever, checking out the situation at UA wouldn't be stupid I guess.

Pov: 3rd person

Dabi, who just arrived at UA was sneaking on campus to try and gather some information. On what, he didn't exactly know yet. Though he did know it had better to do something with Izuku. Otherwise what was the point.

He walked all around campus in his upper classmen disguise. Checking the classrooms, break rooms, dorms, cafeteria and even toilets to no avail. Of yours it is always harder to find something of which you don't know what it is. These kinds of things you just... Stumble upon. At least that is what Dabi believed.

He was resting a bit outside the dorms thinking of any other possible place he could check for information. By now he was sure that knowing the next plan of action concerning the probable rescue mission of Izuku would be quite useful.

His thoughts were disrupted by a few students chattering who were leaving the dorms as it was in the afternoon and classes were over...

"Did you hear?"

"Hear what?"

"What you don't know?!"

"What is it? Just tell me..."

"Well rumor says that a bunch of pro heroes are currently meeting up to discuss their next course of action! Y'know about the class A kid that got kidnapped by the league of villains? I heared it's gonna be full of tea! ~"

Dabi perked up at that comment and just like that his next course of action had already been decided.
