(A.N. again sorry I don't want anyone to be surprised if this gets really dark and what not I'm writing these authors notes before I copy the text from docs to here so I don't really know how far in I'll go before I switch chapters I just want anyone to be prepared if my dark side does come out so sorry if these are annoying but I'd better be safe than sorry)

Emiko [POV]

I knew that position, the only time that he actually relaxed somewhat in a hospital was that position looking out the window.  Images of him in that hospital room came back to me.  His frail figure his eyes were dead but still somehow represented all the fear he bottled up inside himself.  His nails were cut down so that he wouldn't hurt himself.  He constantly trembled screaming every night.  That scared me I didn't want that to happen again and with all the stress of starting a new school it was completely possible.  I walked around to the other side of the bed where he was facing.  He was shaking but didn't react to me

"Ichi?" I asked his dark navy blue eyes were dilated.  He glanced down at me noticing I was there for the first time

"Emi?" he asked his voice blank and quiet

"What's wrong Ichi?" I asked taking his hand gently

"Mom's going to yell at me again" he mumbled

"Why would she yell at you?  You didn't do anything wrong" I asked raising one eyebrow

"I can't sleep I couldn't sleep last night she's going to yell at me again" he cried out

"Mom isn't here Ichi Mom's at work she isn't going to yell at you she can't yell at you she didn't even go into your room last night I stayed up listening until she came home" I explained to him gently

"Yes she did she opened my door I heard her open my door.  I was trying to get to sleep I really was but I couldn't.  She came into my room and she kicked over my pile of books and got mad didn't you hear her?" he asked starting to raise her voice

"No she didn't Ichi I was listening I promise she just went straight to her room" I explained, how long has he been really having a panic attack?  When did this start?  How long did it go without me noticing?  Maybe since last night but that wouldn't make sense.  He must have been hallucinating last night.  At least I hoped that he was and I wasn't

"She's going to yell at me tonight I know it when she gets home she's coming home early tonight" he was close to tears at this point

"Ichi I won't let her yell at you I won't let her hurt you" I promised

"She will, she always does whenever I do something wrong" He insisted pulling both knees to his chest

"Ichi I will protect you no matter what I swear on my life I won't let her hurt you again" I wrapped both my arms around his trembling shoulders.  As I did his shaking stopped

"I love you" He mumbled wrapping both his arms around me as well tensing up turning into a statue.  Though unlike all other statues he had a living warmth that would never go away.

"I love you too" I told him back firmly.  I smiled he had a habit of doing this whenever he was scared.  Hugging someone and then turning to stone like he was afraid of losing us

"You two must be very close" Recovery Girl gushed

"He is my brother after all" I Explained still stuck in his grip

"A younger brother I presume?" she asked

"No he's the oldest" I laughed

"Are you two going to come back to class or do you want to stay here a bit longer?" Aizawa asked

"I can't really move an I know Ichi can hear me so it's all up to him if he's up to go back to class" I felt Ichi shift and relax a bit but he didn't let go of me even though he was still a statue.

"Ichiro?" Recovery Girl started.  Ichi relaxed the rest of the way but it was a long time before he spoke finally letting go of me.

"I can go back to class" he mumbled looking down at the floor his bangs hiding his expression I smiled to myself.  He was back to his normal shy, timid self.  Still more anxious but normal

"Okay then come on" Aizawa insisted starting towards the door.  I stood up taking Ichi's hand

(A.N. Oof that's all I can manage for one day I think twelve chapters in one day is pretty decent I should enjoy this though once I get to the end of what I had wrote beforehand I wont be able to update as rapidly and will probably struggle a lot with my updating but whatever might as well get as much done as I can at once before my procrastination hits again though I'm pretty disappointed in myself for this chapter only like 770 words but this was the perfect time to stop though sorry for such a short chapter)
