(A/N: Hi hi! This is my latest chapter yet, and I'm really sorry! I spent the weekend with my friends at a sleepover, and totally lost track of time! I got home and crashed, but woke up at like 5 in the morning and vomited. So even though I stayed home, I mostly slept and felt super lightheaded/hungry! I also got into Danganronpa... and for those of you who know it, it takes a long time to finish... I finished the first one today, only starting about 3 days ago. But yeah! Enjoy this!!)

-----------------------------------------------------

-(End of the day)-

Shinsou's POV

"Great work, classes A and B! It was a close call for a few of you, so I suggest working on both your teamwork and development of your own quirk up until next class! But as of today, you're all dismissed and allowed to hang out with your siblings for the day!!" Dad shouts out across the crowd of students and walks out of the gym along with Vlad King. Rather than the rest of us leaving, we stayed behind to greet both ours and each other's siblings. Looking over I see the smug glance of Kiotsu looking at me, his mouth curling up into a cat-like smirk. Megazo looked at him worryingly with a small smile and Tezamen kept her permanent smiled plastered on her face as she looked between the two of us with shiny and glazed eyes.

That's cool and all... but.. where's Merez-

ShRI EK

I felt someone grab both of my ticklish sides on my body, and I jumped high in the air, turning around, only to see Mereza with a malicious smile on his face and a deep-voiced chuckle escaping from his throat.

"Mereza!!! I told you to stop doing that!!" I punch him in the shoulder but he just chuckles more. I feel a few pairs of eyes on me and look around to see Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugou staring at me, in slight shock.

"Shinsou... are you?-"

"NO!!!"

"Oh my god... you totally fucking are..."

"SHUT!! UP!!"

"You're ticklish!!!" Midoriya shouts and my face tints into a soft pink.

"Mereza, you know it's my job to torture Shinsou." I hear an all-too-familiar voice, but before I can turn to stop him, Kiotsu pokes me hard in the side. I nearly fucking collapse on the floor right then and there.

Mereza reaches out to poke me again, but I yell out "DON'T TOUCH ME, TALL ASS!!" To his 6'5" self and scurry away before he has the chance to get close. Him and Kiotsu are basically rolling on the floor laughing now.

"C'mon guys... you shouldn't pick on Shinsou so much..." Megazo sighs out and helps me stand up, Tezamen giggles maliciously. Just because she doesn't pick on me, doesn't mean she tries to stop the other two..

"I don't know, it's kinda funny."

"Tezamen!"

"Sorry, sis." She sticks out her tongue. I shake my head in shame. Thankfully, like the angel he is, Mashi walks up, his two brothers behind him. Jeez, they're like bodyguards. But, while I look nervously as the three of them walk up, Mashi leans in and whispers to me, voice shaking just slightly.

"It might be better if we tell all 6 of them at the same time.. I already told my brothers I had something to tell them." He pulls away after and I gulp down whatever nervousness I still felt, my blood running cold. Then, Mashi straightened up and stood next to me, a small group of both of our siblings standing together. All my siblings took the hint and stood silently, looking at the two of us both expectantly and confused. Raiju looked smug and knowing, Ten.. Tenkin was completely stoic.

The both of us let out a sigh, take a final glance at eachother, and look back to the rest of them.

"Raiju... Tenkin... The thing that I... we.. wanted to tell you is.." Mashi breathes out, trying to contain the little confidence he kept.

"..the two of us.." our hands slide into each other's.

"Are dating."

The reactions were mixed. Megazo was completely shocked, Tezamen looked the same, Kiotsu looked both surprised and slightly annoyed, Mereza tapped his shoulder and held out his hand, a sinister grin on his face. Kiotsu sighed and placed money in his hand... did they really bet on me?!

Ugh, either way, Raiju looked like he already knew... and Tonks- Tenkin...

Was pissed.

Well, not really pissed, just... really, really protective.

"Fuckin' knew it."

"Hitoshi.. why didn't you tell us sooner??"

"M A S H I R A O !"

"Aaaaashit-"

Tenkin glared at Mashi, and then at me... except 100x worse... if looks could kill, Tenkin would have gone back in time and kill my fuckin ancestors to make sure I didn't even exist.

"Uhhhm.... s-sorry..?" I stutter out. Tenkin looked me up and down, the pointedly burning-hot discerning and perspicacious glare he gave me ever so present. He examined me for what felt like multiple tense eternities... leaving me feeling like a hot fire poker had dragged it's way across my skin.

Until... he just stopped. His expression went back to being completely stoic. The scorching feeling of nervousness left me feeling.. a bit more empty. He looked at me directly, but not dangerously, and held out his hand. I took it nervously, but firmly.

"I...trust Mashirao's judgement. Even if he is still just a baby..."

"Oi Shut your hush hole."

For the first time, I saw Tenkin crack a smile.

"I respect you, and Mashirao's decision." He starts out friendly enough, until he yanks me to the point where his mouth was right next to my ear, which he then whispered into.

"Hurt my baby brother, and let's see how well your bones broil." He threatens and let's go soon enough. A shiver went throughout my body. Regardless, I bent down stiffly into a thankful bow.

"Y-Yes sir.. thank you for your blessing."

"I'm not his dad, y'know."

"Yeah, you're his mom." Raiju speaks up and Tenkin swats him upside the head. Raiju barely flinches, laughing in return.

Gotta say... when I imagined Mashirao's family dynamic... this is not what I expected. Like, at all.

Barely a minute after the whole thing took place, all 6 of our siblings were conversing and getting to know eachother better since they were basically going to be siblings themselves. Everyone seemed to get along just fine. Although, Kiotsu, Raiju and Tezamen got along a little too well.

Breaking me out of my focus on them, Mashirao hugs me and I feel his shoulders fall, the tension leaving his body.

"I'm honestly really surprised he didn't just kill you... he must actually like you!" He said excitedly and pulled away, pecking me gently on the forehead.

"I sure hope so.. at least, I hope he likes me enough to not broil my bones."

"Ah, he pulled that card did he?"

"hE'S DONE THAT BEFORE???" Mashirao laughs at me.

"He says some of the most cursed shit.. you would not believe it..." He chuckles again, and spots something from the corner of his eye. Following his gaze, I look over to see an unexpected duo of Sero and Rin. The both of them looked tired and annoyed. In less of a "I need to sleep" way and more of a "I swear to Kaibara I'm going to kill god" way.

"Hey... guys.. what's wrong? You looked pissed." I asked the both of them, concerned. Rin sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, answering us.

"What's wrong is our brothers are hella fucking gay."

"Woah. Rin said hella. Now you know it's serious."

"That explains a bit.. but why did you come to us??" Mashirao asks and Sero is the one to speak up this time, his tone of voice about as tired and done as his entire discomposure.

"We came to you because our brothers are hella fucking gay for your brothers but won't do anything about it."

"Ah... which brother?"

"For you Ojirou, it's Tenkin. For you Shinsou, Mereza."

"What sort of loser would have a crush on my shitlord brother?"

"Mine." Rin crossed his arms.

"Wait.. so Sutepu has a crush on Tenkin???" Mashirao asks Sero, who nods simply in return.

"Yep. So round them up and force them to talk to our brothers, because we're tired of hearing them rant."

"Ok, ok... geez. Give us a second." I answer and both me and Mashirao walk back to our group of 6. I call out to Mereza, saying someone wanted to meet him. He looked like he was in disbelief, but followed along anyways and walked over to me. Poor babey has insecurities over this kind of thing, no one ever really wanted to talk to him... mostly because of his eyes and his quirk. He doesn't trust it whenever people want to meet him, thinking it's a prank, so he's a huge skeptic. It's also another reason why he's selectively mute. But Tenkin just followed without hesitation, immediately curious.

We walked back over to Sero and Rin, who led us over to their siblings. I looked back and saw Tenkin looked at blank as ever, but Mereza was a bit more worried, playing with the sleeves of his sweater that were up to his elbows. But, once he caught sight of Sutepu and Ronhuo, his discomposure was put at ease, seeing people actually did want to see him.

Once Sutepu and Ronhuo caught sight of the two, their faces flushed. Sutepu's was less visible, being a very cool and collected individual, but Ronhuo was almost a whole mess within 2.3 seconds of seeing Mereza.

Once we got up to the two, Rin introduced them.

"Ronhuo, Sutepu, this is Mereza and Tenkin. Mereza, Tenkin, these are Ronhuo and Sutepu." I looked between the four of them. Ronhuo waved stiffly to Mereza, who smiled warmly and waved back. Sutepu threw finger guns at Tenkin to cover up his awkwardness, which actually worked. Mereza seemed to be captivated by Ronhuo's eyes. As someone who was insecure over their own, it was refreshing to see someone with such atypical eyes flaunt them so freely, and he loved them. I could tell by how his cheeks began to turn the lightest shade of red. The more Tenkin examined Sutepu (like how he did with me, but much more discreet and, well, friendlier) the less tense I saw him become. His shoulders began to slouch, and his eyes eased into a softer expression. He seemed to be surprised, maybe even scared, at how easily Sutepu was just able to calm him down and make him feel so... at ease. Not tense.

"Well, now that introductions are over, we'll leave you guys- oh, sorry-gays to it." Sero smirks triumphantly at them and walks off with the remaining three of us.

We all walked aimlessly off in one direction, until Rin stopped abruptly.

"Waitwaitwait- so.. does this mean... Shinsou and I could become brothers????" He stares in shock. Mashirao's eyes open along with the rest of ours as he spoke.

"And Sero and I could become brothers, too!"

"Holy shit."

"...whelp, this is uncomfortable. Now we could all have all sorts of tea on eachother."

"Ohhhh yes." Sero starts.

"Anyways, I'm going over to meet Denki's little sister, Raitobagu, anyone want to come with?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Sounds nice."

"Sorry, I gotta get back to Yousetsu. But I'll see you guys later in the dorms." Rin waves us goodbye and rushed to meet up with Awase, while we walked off in he opposite direction to Kaminari, who was talking gently to his little sister, as well as Kirishima, his little sister, and Sero's little brother and older sister. Kaminari seemed like a completely different person, talking so quietly and with such cautiousness that it was almost unbelievable.

"Yo, Denki!" Sero calls out to his boyfriend and I see Kaminari jump in slight shock, his sister also jumping and sinking back into herself, hiding behind her hair. Kirishima's sister, I think her name was Iowa... Nono, Iwaroi, was patting her comfortingly on the back. And Sero's little brother, Hasa..mi- Hasami, looked at her, both nervous and confused for why she was acting so scared. Anaakey- I mean, Anaake looked more understanding Kaminari motioned us over quietly, and we followed suit. Sero tightened his lips together, feeling guilty about startling Raiden... no, Raito. Raitobagu.

"Sorry about that, Denki.."

"It's okay, Hanta.. Raito, this is Hanta Sero, my boyfriend." He smiles softly down at her and she nods simply, looking up at Sero and his apologetic smile as he waved to her.

"I'm sorry about startling you, I really didn't mean to."

"I..I know... but th-thank you." She said. This doesn't seem like regular shyness... Kaminari grew up in the life of a villain, right? Which means she also must have.. maybe it's trauma..

"Well uh.. it's super nice to meet you! You too, Iwaroi!" Sero smiles brightly at the two. Raito looks up experimentally, but was put at ease by his calming smile. Iwaroi waved, an eyebrow raised and a side-grin giving her an air of cockiness. Kirishima described her as being really rowdy, but she seems fine so far... unless it's only because she knows to be careful around Raito, which seems more likely.

"Hello Raito, Iwaroi, Hasami, Anaake. I'm Ojirou, and this is Shinsou." Mashirao introduces us and I wave simply, smiling tiredly to hopefully also make Raito feel more at ease.

"It's wonderful to meet you all.. D-Denki talks about you all the time..!" She tries to open up a bit more, being pretty articulate for her age.

"Eijirou talks about you guys a lot, too! But mostly that Bakugou guy.."

"Iwa, there's no need to expose me like that..." Kirishima laughs next to her.

"Sure there is!!"

"Well, it sure looks like you've made a couple of friends Hasami, how surprising." Anaake and Sero tease at the same time, making Hasami blush.

"What's that supposed to mean???" He whisper yells, not wanting to startle Raito once more. Sero and Anaake both just laugh at him, Sero starting to ruffle his already shaggy and messy hair.

"Nothing, lil' bro."

"Hmph... yeah, whatever."

"Pfft, you never believe me." Sero chuckles and turns to look back to me and Mashi.

"You guys don't have to stay if you don't want to, besides, it looks like there are even more people that require your attention." He smiles cockily and points to Iida, who was striding up stiffly to the two of us, a barely visible Kamakiri standing behind him.

"Shinsou, Ojirou, I require your assistance! Well- mostly Shinsou!" He says without missing a beat, and turns around to speed back, not even waiting for us to catch up. We look at eachother, completely confused, but following in his footsteps. Walking up, we see both Kamakiri and Iida's siblings glaring at eachother, arms crossed. They're probably fighting over which MCR album is the best or something...

"You imbecile. Danger Days is the best album."

"No, you absolute dolt, Welcome to the Black Parade is."

...ah. So they actually are.

"They've been going at it ever since class ended and it just won't stop..." Iida says hopelessly. Kamakiri was standing off to the corner, looking entirely disappointed in them. Ah, that's right, his favorite album is Three Cheers.

"Ah, there they are." Iida's brother, Tenkasho, Tenkyo, Tenkakyo... Yeah, Tenkakyo says calmly and motions to the two of us. Kamakiri's little brother, Saibuto (his name is somehow really easy to remember), looks at us with the same blank expression Kamakiri always wears, his arms crossed. Despite looking completely unfeeling, he radiated an air of impatience.

"Which album do you think is better, Black Parade or Danger Days???"

"..well, I like both equally to be honest."

"Same here."

"Damn it all. The Supreme Overlord of Ice has no time for this."

"Woah, slow down there Gundham Tanaka, can't you both just agree that both albums are great?" I suggest and the two look at eachother, completely stubborn. But, surprisingly, Saibuto lets out a light breath, and holds out a hand to shake Tenkakyo's.

"While I may not agree that Black Parade is the best, I definitely love it. As I love all of Mcr's other work." He says politely, contrary to his appearance. Tenkakyo's expression of annoyance and arrogance completely melts within those couple seconds, taking Saibuto's hand and shaking it firmly.

"I agree. Everything they come up with is a work of art to be appreciated."

"Then we've come to a standstill? Perhaps a truce?"

"...Yes. A temporary agreement, if you will."

"Perfect, because I have this cute picture of Josh Dun smiling that I wanted to show you but I couldn't have if we were still opposed."

"Oh hell yeah, send that shit on over here." Tenkakyo sticks just behind him and looks over his shoulder as he pulled out his phone. Iida, Kamakiri, Mashi and I look to eachother in complete bewilderment. I was expecting for that to go on at least a bit longer... I've never seen an argument go down so easily before.

"Did big bro Tenka fight someone again??" Two kids appeared out of nowhere behind me, causing me to jump back and almost scream.

"Shoru! Koshi! Shouldn't you be with Tensei??"

"..yeaaaa, but we wanted to be over here with Tenka!!" The boy of the two groans out and Iida sighs.

"Alright, fine... but be sure to listen to Tenkakyo!! And don't just run off!!"

"Yay!! Thank you Ten-Ten!" They both run up to Tenkakyo, who was still looking through Saibuto's phone with him.

"Ah, hello Shoru, Koshi."

"Hi Tenka! Is that your boyfriend???"

"My Wh-"

Iida and Kamakiri look to eachother with suspicious glances, then at both Saibuto and Tenkakyo, who were trying to desperately reason with the two that they were only friends.

Whelp. It seems that many ships have arisen this fine day.

But... the real question is... are there more to come??

Find out on the next episode of Total! Drama! Island!

-----------------------------------------------------

Todoroki's POV

Once everyone had made their way back to the dorm rooms (and we told the adults to hide), I pulled both Natsuo and Fuyumi to the side. They looked at me quizzically as everyone walked past.

"Is something the matter, Shouto?" Fuyumi asks me, Natsuo nodding next to her. I keep my face blank and shake my head simply.

"No, it's just.. there's something I need to tell and show you.." I looked slightly down to the ground, a small pit of nervousness beginning to grow in my stomach

"Oh! And what would that be..?" Fuyumi asks once more, noticing how I appeared to be getting more and more nervous as the seconds passed by. I felt Natsuo's suspicion hang onto me, even as their was an increasing sound of someone's footprints that approached to the door, even as the sun began to set.

His head snapped up, and he looked dangerously out of the window to the outside of the gymnasium. The special guest's silhouette was seen only barely, even as they opened the door.

And in walked Touya.

His face was hidden just slightly by the shadows of the room casting onto him, but all Natsuo could see was the body of a villain. He readied himself into a fighting stance, ready to activate his ice quirk if the villain took a single step forward.

"I don't know what you want with us here, how you got in, or just how fucking dumb you are to show your face around here, but I suggest you leave unless you look for succession in a death wish." He threatens him as soon as he recognizes the figure, I could just feel Touya's smug smile from over here.

"Now, now. Is that anyway to treat such an old friend, Natsuo?" Touya speaks and I could see Natsuo freeze for a moment, collecting previous memories of who this suspicious figure might be just based on the voice. Fuyumi was also trying her hardest to catch up on whatever she could pick up on.

Touya took a single step forward and his foot was frozen in ice, The jagged shot being unevenly thrown by Natsuo, who's conflictions we're becoming more clear.

"Don't tell me.. you don't remember me?" Touya laughs and looks up, his vibrant blue eyes cutting through the darkness. Natsuo was even more taken back than before.

"For a friend who you've known your entire life, this sure is an uncomely 'Welcome home'." He said and activated his fire without missing a beat, walking out of the now melted puddle of water as if nothing had happened before.

"Or.. should I say..." Touya was now approaching to be right in front of Natsuo, the shadows malting from his face, revealing his features clearly.

"For a brother?" He smiles at Natsuo. His eyes begin to well up with tears as he realizes who it is, and he turns to look at me. His eyes pleaded 'is this real?', 'please tell me it's real'.

I simply gave him a grin, and he turned back to tackle Touya in a hug. Fuyumi jumps up and rushes as fast as she could over, tackling him from behind and absolutely smushing him between her arms.

"YOU BASTARD- WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?? YOU WERE ALIVE THIS WHOLE TIME???" Natsuo sobs into Touya's shirt.

"I-I told you not to leave... but you did anyway... I thought you would never come back!! But here you are, Touya!!" Fuyumi tried to hold back her tears as she only continued to squeeze and squeeze. I could've sworn I saw tears flood and glaze Touya's eyes, but they never fell.

"..yes... I'm alive... and I'm back.." He didn't hug back, simply fell limp and loose into their embraces, his hardened exterior stripping away at it's seams, revealing his softened side, the side that always cared for us. The side that always will care for us.

"I-I'm so fucking mad at you for leaving... but I can't hit you... I can't... I'm just.. so happy...." Natsuo laughs sadly into Touya's chest. Touya doesn't respond. He slowly lifts his hands and Fuyumi switches her position to his side; right next to Natsuo.

He takes his hands, and places them gently onto both Natsuo and Fuyumi. He feels them, the feeling of having them back overwhelming him as he continuously glided his hands over their backs.

Until, it all came to an abrupt halt.

He gripped onto their shirts, balling his fists completely into their clothes, so hard even that his staples nearly pop out of his skin.

He gripped, and sobbed.

Sobbed directly into both of their shoulders.

He let out everything he had contained during his 'time' with Endeavor, what he had held in once he had joined the league, the mortification of realizing he'd lost his memory, how he'd almost lost any recollection of his family. The despair of having to live on the streets and in hiding for god knows how long, the pain and agony of his own skin torrefying from the quirk he was unconsentually passed, the heartbreak he felt at thinking his league, the only other family he had ever had in his life, thought he could ever betray them so simply. He let out everything. Not loudly, but messily. He completely shut down, not caring how the salt urticated his blackened skin and tortured him, he let out everything he really needed to, and denied himself for so long. For too long.

The subconscious feeling of relief from finally allowing yourself to grieve.. to know that all your past mistakes, all your trauma and tribulations were finally baked to be stomached by this final moment of forgiveness and safety that he's finally gotten. Even after all this time.

He was okay.

"I'm sorry..."
