"Fuyumi-kun! I thought we called the other day?" Y/n beamed as she placed her phone in between her ear and her shoulder while she took out the trash.
"Hi y/n....did you have a good day at school?" Fuyumi asked quietly.
"Eh, it was alright. How's Shoto and Natsuo? And Touya? Is Touya okay?"
There was nothing but silence on the other line. "Fuyumi-kun?"
"...Y/n....It's about Touya...he...
died in a fire."
Y/n's heart sunk. She dropped to her knees, them digging into the cold dirt outside. Her phone slipped out of her hand, it falling face up on the grass. The only thing Fuyumi could hear on the other line was y/n's painful screams and sobs.
So painful that Fuyumi hung up the phone and cried too.
Y/n didn't call the Todoroki family again for a few years. It was too much to bare. Y/n never realized how much she loved Touya...
until she couldn't see him anymore.

Y/n woke up to a cold room, goosebumps forming on her arms. She looked out the window, the night sky visible. She turned in the bed to see Dabi sitting in the chair, his head thrown back, sleeping.
He really is staying?
Y/n sighed, reaching over to the nightstand. She grabbed the fork and dinner plate, leaning against the headboard of the bed. "You damn bastard, Dabi." She whispered.

Dabi opened his eyes, bringing his head forward. He let out a small yawn. "Morning sleepy head." Y/n muttered. He looked up to see y/n eating her dinner. "....Happy?"
Dabi gave a small smirk. "Very."
Y/n felt butterflies fill her stomach. "I don't understand you, Dabi....You're really hard to read."
Dabi gazed out the window quietly. Y/n stared at him, waiting for a reply. She sighed, continuing to eat her food. Dabi stood up, sitting on the edge of her bed. He placed his elbows on his thighs, thinking.
"....I care about you....A lot." He whispered. "These words might just fly over your head...but they mean something. And one day, you'll understand them."
Y/n listened carefully to him, confusion filling her mind. There was something about him that drew her to him, not just because he was secretive and kept to himself, but something else. A trait that reminded her of someone she knew.
She just....couldn't remember.
"...Dabi?"
He turned to her, his bright blue eyes gleaming in the moonlight. He noticed her eyes showed sadness. Not a sorrowful type of sadness, but guilty sadness. In this case, y/n felt guilty for not understand his words. She felt there was something she was missing, something that had to be obvious.
Dabi leaned forward, placing his scarred hand on her face, caressing her cheek with his thumb. He wanted to hold her so bad. Kiss her. Give her the world. He missed her so, so much. But he held back, as he wanted y/n to remember her best friend for herself.
"Thank you."
"F-For what?" Y/n gazed up at him, her eyes soft.
"For eating your dinner." He gave a small grin. She scoffed. "I really wasn't hungry earlier, you know."
"Doesn't matter." He pushed off the bed, walking towards the door. "...Get some rest."
