Strawberries and Cigarettes

Buttercup

(Pov Denki Kaminari)

When I woke up I was extremely tired and had a headache. I looked at the ceiling for a while trying to figure out where I was. When I sat up and looked around the room I noticed two figures in the corner of the room looking at me. After a couple of minutes of looking at each other there was a soft knock at the door one of the people in the corner of the room said that the door was unlocked and that they could come in. The door opened to Bakubro and Kiri when they saw that I was awake. Their faces changed from worry to a concerned look.

We stood in silence for what seemed like an eternity. They looked at me and I awkwardly smiled at them. They looked at each other and both nodded their heads. Bakubro was the first to speak up, " You're not going back, I hope you know that." He was stern when speaking and I knew he meant business. I slightly nod my head to tell them I was listening.

Kiri looked at me, "We have some friends you will be staying with." he tuned to the people standing in the corner.

Out of the dark emerged a man around my age with green hair. Behind him stood a tall man with red and white hair. They where intimidating to say the lease. The shorter of the two was ripped with scars lacing up and down his arms.I thought Bakubro was ripped but he was nothing compared to this man. The tall red and white haired male was a lot slimmer but still had a lot of mussels. He had a scar on his face that did not look like it was there by accident.

They introduced themselves, "I'm Izuku Midoriya," The short green haired male said his voice didn't match his appearance at all. "And this is my boyfriend Shoto Todoroki, we are a part of the mafia group known as the Purple Phoenix."
Shock hit me like a truck. I started to feel anxious, and all my thoughts started to race around in my head. My breathing picked up and my vision started to go black. I felt someone grab me and hold me close. It was a warm hug and whoever it was smelled like peppermint.

After I told Denki that we were part of the mafia he started to panic. I looked over at Kacchan. He looked extremely mad and sad at the same time. Before I could say anything, Todoroki was already hugging Denki. Denki snuggled into Todo. He looked calmer than before, but soon passed out.

Kacchan walked over to Todo slowly. He slowly lifted Denki off him and laid him back on the bed. Todo just sat there looking at Denki. The quiet in the room was unbearable. Kiri was the first to break the silence "Why" was all he said.
I looked at him questioningly "What do you mean why?"
"Just look at him, even passed out, he is still worried. He has nothing left. He hangs on by a thread, but that thread is slowly starting to break." a tear rolled down his cheek, he let it fall.
