Todoroki's POV

With a still soaked, I pull away from my once-thought-to-be-dead brother. I continue to wipe at my stinging eyes while still looking up at his warm expression. The villain that was once there was long gone, now it's just Touya... my amazing brother Touya. The sinister expression of a man who looked down upon me at the training camp while holding my friend's life in his hand was no more, he looked down at me with kindness and empathy, but at the same time sorrow at what he had become. He was basically drugged into this life, I can't blame him.. I really can't.

Wait until Natsuo and Fuyumi hear about this! Mom too!

Endeav-whore can die in a fire for ironic purposes.

"This reunion is heartwarming and all, but Dabi-"

"Please, call me Touya."

"Alright, Touya, I need to ask you a few questions." Aizawa looks eye to eye with my brother, stoic expression unwavering. My brother nods curtly, and we're all lead over to sit at the couches in the middle of the room. Once we sit down, Aizawa-Sensei looks at Kuroiro, Shinsou and I. Kuroiro was still consoling Shinsou, who couldn't even bare to look Aizawa in the eye from nervousness and shame. Aizawa looked briefly hurt.

"If you three want to, you can go back to bed. Kuroiro, you could stay here or go back to your own building." He offers.

"That's nice of you, Sensei, but I'd rather stay here and listen to what Da- er, Touya has to say." Kuroiro answers and Shinsou nods in agreement, glancing up at Touya with the slightest bit of disdain in his eyes, mostly clouded by his hurt, guilt, and tears. Touya looks nervously and guiltily away from Shinsou, having no recollection of the damage he caused.

"I would also like to stay and hear what my brother has to say." I speak up from next to him. Aizawa nods in understanding and proceeds to look at Touya.

"So, Touya, do you know if any other league members were injected with the same serum?"

"...yes. All of us were. It had less effect on some of us, so they kept some memory, but members like me remember nothing."

"All of you were? Does that include your leader, Shigaraki Tomura?" Aizawa pries further and Touya grunts in confirmation.

"Yes, to be honest, Tenk- uh, Shigaraki still had some evil in him to begin with because of his... past, but I bet if he wasn't taken in by All For One, he would have been... an actually good person. He just needs... rehabilitation. We all do. We're all like family, so we opened up about our reasons for villainy. If we all just got some help back then.. we would be fine now." He laughed sadly. Aizawa looked at him with sympathy.

"I'm very sorry to hear that... so all of your main acts of villainy are because of this serum?" Touya shrugs.

"Sort of. We were all sadists and criminals from the start, just not to the extent of now... simple thefts, stalking, death threats, etc. were what we all did before our injections... only after did it lead up to murder and torture. On humans, at least."

"Alright.. final questions. Do you think they're too long gone to be saved, and when were their last injections?"

"Hah, Aizawa, look at me. I was one of their most ruthless members, probably about third, and now look at me. If I could heal like this, I'm sure they can. Even the ones further gone than me. Like I said... all we really need is a little help, sir. As for how long ago we go our shots, it takes about 3 months until we have to get them again, and I didn't get them the last time because I was sick with a fever and they were scared I would die by overdose if I took my shots along with all the cold medicine I took. I was actually supposed to get them tomorrow, but this happened. It's been about 2 and a half months, maybe more, since they were the last ones to get their shots. They should be wearing off soon." Touya finishes and Aizawa takes mental notes of everything he says.

"Alright- Wait, what time is it?" Aizawa says as he sees the sun start to come up through the window. Kuroiro pulls out his phone.

"6: 09."

"Nice." Everyone But Aizawa says together.

"My classmates should be waking up in about thirty minutes." I say and Kuroiro tags along with a "same."

"Ah, well, Touya, would you like your existence to be kept private from the students, or no?"

"I'd rather not be kept a secret, thanks. That would just make everything look more suspicious. But I suggest the only people that know about me being here are the A and B classes since some of their peers already know I'm here. I wouldn't want them to keep that secret for me." Touya smiles and Aizawa nods again, now standing to take his leave.

"Well, with that all settled, you can stay here in the dorms with class A. We'll have an extra room added for you on Todoroki's floor, and you can meet the students here once they wake up, does that sound alright?" He asks and we all nod.

"I'll leave you to it, then. And, Shinsou," Shinsou winces slightly at the mention of his name. ", please talk with me after class this morning." Aizawa says and finally leaves. Leaving the rest of us to sit in silence.

We all look at eachother awkwardly for a minute or so, until it's broken by Touya.

"Uhm... Shinsou, right? Would you mind telling me.. what I did, Or said to you before I snapped out of the, uh, trance..?" Touya looked over at Shinsou, voice kind of shaky. I remember that before he left, he would always feel so bad if he accidentally hurt any of my sibling's feelings. Once he called Natsuo dumb while they were having a heated argument over Mario Kart, Natsuo started crying and Touya started crying too. He ended up making dinner for us that night. It was Natsuo's favorite: dinosaur nugs, French fries and strawberry milk. He also went out and got him ice cream. He seemed aloof a lot of the time, but he was still sensitive, and he cared.. maybe a bit too much.

"You..." Shinsou sniffled. "Brought up.. something..About me that no one else was supposed to kn..ow." He struggled to get out, not having the strength in him to make his clear what he's talking about. I glanced to Touya and saw he looked both sorry and disappointed with himself.

"Can I tell him, Shinsou?" I look back and he nods, then leaning over to whisper into Touya's ear.

"You brought up his.. suicide attempt." I whispered and heard him take in a sharp gasp. I looked and saw his eyes get glassy.

"I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to- I didn't even know I did- Uh,,, how can I make it up to you?? What's your favorite breakfast food??? I can make your whole class breakfast! And give you, like, my soul, or something!" He says quickly and Shinsou looks at him in surprise, not even considering he would react like that.

"Uh... yeah, you could make us breakfast. French toast sounds nice about now... and... take care of my cat while I'm at school maybe..?"

"Yeah, I'll do that. Sounds easy enough! Making French toast is actually pretty easy and fun..." he rambles on like Izuku as he stands and walks into the mini-kitchen, looking through the cabinets for supplies, poking his head back out of the doorway shortly after.

"Oh, wait! Your name was Kuroiro, yeah? Would you like me to make extra for your class to?? Wait- does anyone in either of your classes have a food allergy I should know about???" He starts and Kuroiro is about to answer with an awestruck expression, but Touya cuts him off again in his ramblings. "Actually- you know what- just invite your class over, I can make enough with all of this!" He says and I hear some quiet clangs of a metal bowl against the counters until he pokes his head out a final time.

"Wait, does anyone not like French toast???"

"...no, everyone likes French toast, and my friend Shishida has a nut allergy-"

"Alright! No nuts!" He pulls his head back in. The three of us laugh quietly at him.

"I'm sure the lesbians will appreciate it." Shinsou says and the three of us just burst out laughing. I check the time and see it's 6:25.

"I'll text our classes and tell them about breakfast."

"Ok but.. won't they be kind of concerned that someone that tried to kill them a few months ago made it?"

"Oh yeah... eh, they'll be fine."

...

"Class g(A)y and Les(B)ian"

Icy T H O T: Breakfast is being made by a special guest, it'll be ready in a bit, so get down here Class A when you're dressed and class B get over here when you're ready too. And let me say the mysterious guest is completely trustworthy, no matter what you think.

:3c: Sounds fake but ok

Fucknugget: Why are you awake?

:3c: Why are you awake?

Fucknugget: Fair enough, have a nice day.

...

"I hope to god they won't kill him." I slide my phone back in my pocket.

"They probably will, and we should probably get dressed."

"Yeah, you're right. I'll see you guys in a bit, gotta get changed back at my dorm. See ya." Kuroiro stands and waves bye as he walks out.

"Yeah let's go." Shinsou stands and I stand up with him, the two of us walking to the staircase, but I lag behind to shout quickly at Touya.

"We're heading up to get changed, Touya!"

"Ok!" He answers quickly and we walk up the stairs to each of our respective floors. Shinsou waves bye to me as he gets off on the 2nd floor, and I make my way up to the 5th.

Once I get to my floor, I go to my dorm and walk in, looking over to see an adorable Izuku sitting up in my bed, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Oh, goodmorning-" he yawns. "-Sho."

"Goodmorning, Izuku." I smile softly at him and kiss him gently on the forehead. He smiles up at me, throwing his legs over the side of my bed and standing to stretch.

"Breakfast is being made downstairs, so you might want to head back to your dorm to get dressed." I chuckle quietly at his exhausted demeanor and messy bush of hair. He just shoots me a thumbs up and a finger gun with half-lidded eyes, walking slowly out of the room with a quick "k. Love you."

"Love you too." I mutter mainly to myself at this point, smiling to myself and rummaging through my drawers for my uniform. I find it quickly and dress myself just as fast, fixing my slightly ruffled hair and wiping my wet face off with a handkerchief. I set down everything and rush out of my room with my school bag, determined to make it down there before anyone else so Touya doesn't fucking die...

But, too late, once I get down to the ground floor, I see Touya is cornered at the stove by Tokoyami and Dark Shadow.

"What are you doing here?! What do you want from us?!" Tokoyami shouts and Dark Shadow threatening bares claws at Touya, a strong glare in his eyes. Touya just looks at them with a tired and bored expression, slowly moving the pan off of the stovetop.

"Chill, you're gonna make me burn the French toast."

"I don't care what you have to say, after the da-"

"Tokoyami! Stop!" I shout at him and he turns around, visible confusion on his face.

"Todoroki? What's wrong?"

"He's innocent, he's not a villain." I run ahead of him and block Dark Shadow from getting closer to Touya.

"But- Wait, did you brainwash Todoroki?!" Tokoyami glares at Touya. Touya wasn't even paying attention anymore, he was too busy sliding his current piece of toast around the pan.

"No, he didn't Tokoyami. He was actually brainwashed by the league, and that's why he did all of those... awful things. He's ok, he's actually... my long lost brother." I explain, and my the final sentence, Tokoyami is star struck.

"I-I see. My deepest apologies. To both of you." He bows down and Dark Shadow does the same, a little tear at the corner of his eye.

"It's cool." Touya waves it off.

"..yes, what he said."

"I'm sorry I almost stabbed you with my claws.." Dark Shadow says and hugs Touya from behind. Touya laughs and pats him on the head.

"It's all good. You didn't and that's what matters." He says and Dark Shadow lights up.

"So... your brother, huh?" Tokoyami looks back at me, arms crossing.

"Yes. His name is Touya."

"I see. Well, let's hope that anyone, or, god forbid, Bakugou has the same reaction I did."

"Yeah... Touya would be in pieces by now if it was Bakugou."

"Me? In pieces? Sounds like a free trial of death, I'll take it."

"...I like your brother."

"I was scared this would happen with you edgelords." The four of us laugh together. And, soon enough, the rest of our class came down, as well as class B. The reactions from everyone varying at my brother's appearance. Some people were pissed, some almost killed him *cOUGHCOUGH BAKUHOE AND KAMAKIRI CoUGH*, others were skeptical and untrusting, but overall, he was accepted for now.

"Alright! Everyone's food is done and on the counter! Come and eat!" Touya calls and stands at the side of the doorway. People got up slowly and walked past him cautiously, eyeing him to see if he would make any movement. But, as soon as Shishida walked near him, Touya called out, and everyone was on alert.

"Ah! Shishida, Yeah?" He stops him from walking in and everyone stops dead, glaring at Touya as he talks to him. Shishida looks nervously at Touya, but, being the absolute gentleman he is, responds politely.

"Y-Yes, sir. That would be me." He answers and Touya grabs something off the counter. Everyone thought it was a weapon and readied themselves into fighting stances. Touya just looked at them all with an eyebrow raised, the thing he grabbed off the counter turned out to just be a plate of French toast. After he scanned the area of everyone ready to murder him, he looks back at Shishida with a small smile.

"Here. This is the one without nuts. Kuroiro told me you were allergic." He says warmly and Shishida takes the plate with slight surprise.

"O-Oh! Thank you very much!" He says and walks off quickly after grabbing a fork. Everyone look bamboozled, even as they picked up pieces of their cut up toast, they were suspiciously examining it.

"Don't worry, I didn't poison it."

Everyone still looked distrusting.

"I pinkie promise." He adds on.

"Well then that's exactly why I won't eat it. I want to die." Shinsou says sarcastically and Touya laughs.

"Mood." He snaps two finger guns at him and disappears into the kitchen.

Everyone eventually takes a bite of their French toast, everyone's eyes going wide.

"BRO THIS IS DELICIOUS!"

"Incredible!!"

"Todoroki, why didn't you tell us your brother was a great cook!"

"Dude, this rivals Satou's cooking!"

"Just barely, but yeah! Totally!" A few people yell and dig into their French toast, completely happy and forgetting about their previous distrust of Touya.

"The best way to earn trust is with good food." Touya appears suddenly next to me and smiles at my peers and classmates, a familiar look of happiness and fulfillment on his face.

I'm so glad to have him back.
