Touya had returned to the LOV hideout like nothing happened. The obvious stench of Beta and Alpha it's like they didn't shower. He couldn't calm himself down. The experience definitely changed him but he couldn't go to the league and he like... hey I hung at with two pro heroes and I'm a Todoroki. He once again felt trapped.

The boy cried to himself to sleep. Toga had come to hug him in the morning, the girl slept like a brick at night. Poor Touya suffered from a plague of nightmares. And upon waking up he was in a state of panic. He walked to the bathroom sighing. Why? Why now? Why can't I push this down anymore? He opened his phone and began to text befor deleting it. Then suddenly a gazillions text came through. He sighed

Touya washed of the make up off he was going to visit his mum today. He left a scribbled piece of paper on his bed before jumping out of his window. He covered his face with the hoodie and made his way to a familiar building. Je entered to what he called the insane asylum. He went to the front desk slowly signing in.

"Oh you are here to see Mrs Todoroki. This way..." a brunette smiled and pointed the way.

The eldest Todoroki looked at the doors he pasted it reminded him of prison. The doors were white along with the floor and ceiling it was all symmetrical. The lady led her down her a narrow coming a to a large sliding door. He swallowed he hadn't seen his family for 10 years. He shuddered at there reaction. He had intended to come after the first year but that became two years then three years and it began to feel awkward. Even after every year he wanted to see his mother but stopped himself. Telling himself that Touya was dead so that he wouldn't have to deal with his family but the reality is that he was scared. He stopped behind the door.

"Here it is through those doors."

The black head nodded and the lady gave a smile also giving of the young killer vibe (kinda like Toga). She turned on her heels and he watched her walk down the hall. Is it really smart to go through the doors? I mean I have been dead for 10 years. He scratched the back of his head pacing up and down near the entrance. He had come so far. Well he had done that with texts and calls. He would write letter after letter to send to his family telling them he was okay or type in the number call then end the call before anyone could pick up. At this point Dabi was finding excuses not to go in.

I need to go through those door.
I need to see her at least once
I need to see how she is doing
I don't need to stay for longer

The anxiety bubbled up in his stomach. He inhaled and exhaled then finally slid open the doors closing it behind him. He was wearing a hoodie covering a bit of his face. He wanted to look up but felt ashamed. How could he do this? When he finally did he saw his mother crying. Her pale skin was stained with water marks. She got up.

"Mum." Touya choked. He could feel his own tears falling from his eyes. She raced to him and hugged him. She pulled down his hoodie realising his face as the both collapsed into each other onto the floor. The elder held her sons head into her chest as there clothes began to get soaked. They just sat there crying together. He missed this... so did she.

Here's the truth. Rei never believed in Touya's death. She could never. Even if it was true she won't... it would break her. She always of hoping for his return. He was her first born. That's something special. A son and mother's bond is something special. She wasn't going to let go of her son. She weaved her hand through his hair as the cuddled on the ground.

Eventually they calmed down and pulled out of the hug. Rei pulled him beside her and held her hand to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. She put her hand to his face pushing away his tears. His lips were still quivering. She smiled.

"Touya..."

He looked up in his bluest blue eyes there was water still there. It looked like it was a mix of shame, guilt and sorrow.
