Tensei snickered, staring at Toki as she sat up in a hospital bed.

"So...." He trailed off. "How's it hanging roommate?"

"Fuck you, Tensei. I didn't expect her to slash me!" Toki retorted.

Tenya was sitting in the corner of the room, trying and failing to hide his amusement with the situation.

"To be fair, it was an accident." Tenya tried to defend.

After all the stuff in Hosu, it was later revealed that Bouran was the source of Tenya's misplaced rage. That doesn't mean he wasn't scolded for listening to her though.... Besides that, Stain was captured, the man now rotting in Tartarus.

"How bad is it anyways?" Tensei questioned.

Toki sighed, feeling the bandages wrapped around her chest. Thanks to Recovery Girl, the injuries were healed, but.... It would scar.

"Oh don't start sulking, things can only get better from here!" Tensei encouraged.

"Yes.... Well, once Shinano finally comes and visits her. Or even talks to her." Tenya commented.

And that was the other thing: Bouran hadn't called or texted her in three days. So, she turned to the group chat for help.

Toki sighed. She was going to have her work cut out for her, she could just feel it.

*A few days later....*

Going to class the next Monday, everyone in class grimaced and became visibly saddened by Bouran's appearance. She had hideous bags under her eyes, and she looked paler, as well as the added fact that her hair was messy and hadn't been taken care of.

Toki winced, walking up to her.

"Bouran Shinano...."

Bouran froze, looking up from her desk.

".... How many people does it take to make a hero?"

Bouran looked confused, saying "I.... What?"

"Three. Two to die, and one to never get over it!"

Toki poorly did finger guns at the girl, cringing at the dark humor joke. And you know what? Bouran laughed. It was a sound that Toki had missed greatly, and she found herself smiling at the action. Bouran smiled, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I.... Fuck, Toki I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry.... I was so caught up in trying to get some petty revenge-"

"Bouran."

"And I messed u p really bad and I hurt you-"

"Bouran!"

"And I can understand if you never want to talk to me again and want to break up with me-"

"BOURAN!"

Bouran left her spiral, facing the other girl.

"My place. After school. No complaints." Toki said flatly.

Bouran simply nodded.

".... How's your chest?" Bouran hesitantly asked.

Toki, in all her tiredness and impatience, unbuttoned her shirt, pulling it open for Bouran to see. It was a miracle class hadn't started yet. On Toki's chest, three faded lines danced across her skin. Bouran stared, feeling her face turn red, as she came to another realization at that moment.

She pulled Toki's shirt closed, hissing out "Why the fuck aren't you wearing a bra?!"

Toki glanced at her, saying "Because I wanted you to see my boobs? Kiss my perfect boobs goodbye, but hey. As Midnight so proudly has said in the mornings: my anxiety is chronic but these titties are iconic."

Bouran stared at her. Toki was in a bitchy mood, because she never says "titties", or uses such.... Improper language!

.

Aizawa sighed. The man needed so much alcohol for the next few days....

"You look like hell."

His gaze snapped up, landing directly onto Hoka. She held up a cigarette, and he almost immediately declined.

"No."

"Relax. It's.... Ugh, it's one of my candy cigarettes." The girl mumbled.

Aizawa reluctantly took it, looking down at it. He needed the sugar in his bloodstream right now.

".... Have you been going to your therapy?" Aizawa questioned.

Hoka flinched at the mention of it, laughing nervously.

"Hoka!" He scolded.

"I- I can't just go! My pride won't allow it!" Hoka said.

".... You, Bouran, and Hibana are all going to therapy."

"Bouran I can understand, but why Hibana?"

".... During his work study, a villain used their quirk to muzzle him." Aizawa confessed.

Hoka froze, before scowling.

".... How bad?"

"Hizashi had to step in this time. You should've heard the panic in Nemuri's voice when she called a couple days ago...."

*Flashback....*

Midnight woke up in the middle of the night, hearing choked gasping coming from Hibana's room. She raced towards there, opening the door to see Hibana huddled in the corner of his room, balled up and curled in on himself. This scene was so familiar to her, the woman remembering day she first took him in.

"Hibana, hey! Look at me!"

He didn't listen, the woman crouching down next to him. She immediately fumbled with getting her phone put, calling Shouta and Hizashi. The moment she answered, the floodgates opened.

"Hizashi! Shouta! Help! He's panicking! He's not breathing! I don't know what to do!" She sobbed.

"Let me talk to him!" Hizashi all but screamed. The phone was placed next to Hibana, out onto speaker, Hizashi saying "Hibana! Listener, breathe!"

Hibana seemed to finally be able to focus, Nemuri nearly bursting into tears again.

"Come on um.... Oh! Come on, sing with me! We both know you can belt this shit out!" Hizashi cleared his throat, before the music from "I Hope You Die In A Fire" started playing.

"I hope you die in a fire!" Hizashi all but screeched through from the other end.

Hibana couldn't help but respond shaking singing "H- hope you get stabbed in the heart, hope you get shot and expire...."

Aizawa switched the music, singing "Another cog in the murder machine! They said all-"

Hibana took a deep breath.

"TEENAGERS SCARE, THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME!"

*Present....*

"Oh man.... You had to pull out the angst songs." Hoka commented.

"Yeah.... It was bad. Nemuri downed an entire bottle of wine that night. And when we finally drove over, Hibana looked horrified. He never talks about what happened in that orphanage, but it still haunts him.... I think you three would do well from some therapy."

Hoka scoffed, knowing that he's right. Some scars just don't fade easily....
