•*•*• "THIS is why you shouldn't sleep on the rooftop", kurogiri reprimanded.

chō groaned as she was in bed, her futon, wrapped up in blankets.

kurogiri had said that she caught a cold from that night she spent with shigaraki on the rooftop. yet shigaraki was not sick.

oh, how unfair life was.

"awww I missed you chō!!! staying with overhoe was so overbearing", toga whined to her friend.

"I missed you too! no I didn't. I enjoyed my vacation away from you", twice said, making chō chuckle.

"I missed you both too!! it was so lonely without you guys", chō said.

"liar. you went on that carnival date with crusty and was about to fuck on the couch", dabi said.

"WHAT?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!?!", toga yelled, pouting.

chō shot dabi a glare. she then turned back to toga, who was fake sobbing.

"m-my dear himiko!! I wanted to tell you, but it just never came up in our texts", chō softly said.

toga looked at the sick girl and sighed. "fine, I forgive youuuuuu".

"thanks", chō said.

"but how was he in bed? was his—"

"HIMI! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!", chō screamed, blushing profusely.

"okay okay!! jeez. I was just asking", toga smirked as she skipped away.

dabi left with her, leaving chō alone with twice. twice told chō all about what happened with overhoe and how he accidentally told them his quirk because of that one dude.

"twice", chō started.

"yeah? what do you want?"

"do you...ever wish that your scar was gone?", chō asked.

twice was taken aback. he wondered how she knew about the stitches on his forehead. but then remembered that he took his mask off in front of everyone when shigaraki was going to send him and toga to work under chisaki.

"I...I mean yeah. it'd be ideal but—"

"I can do it", chō said, looking twice dead in the eyes. by now, his mask was already off, so he could see the true passion in her eyes.

"w-would that be okay?", he asked. it would seriously help a lot, not having another voice contradict you every time you had a thought.

"of course!!", chō said, bringing her hand up to twice's face.

twice felt a warm feeling spread from his forehead. the mellow glow formed around chō's hand. in another moment, the stitch was indeed gone.

twice touched his forehead, even looking in a mirror. he didn't believe it. it was gone. the horrid stitch. the vexing voices. it was...all gone!

"thank you—"

chō started coughing aggressively. twice immediately went over to lay her on her back. giving her a glass of water, he watched her chug it down.

"jesus, you're really sick!!", he said.

"haha...yeah, you have no idea", chō said, smiling. "by the way, can you do me a favor?", chō asked.

"of course! anything! what do you need??", twice asked.

chō whispered it to twice. he nodded, understanding what to do.

"oh! and can you bring me some paper and some colorful pens please? I'm in the mood to draw. tomu and kuro won't let me get out of bed and it's been so boring", chō said.

"of course!! I'll get toga and magne to help too!!", twice said as he got chō the things before leaving.

chō started drawing stars on the edge of the paper, creating a starred boarder. she looked proudly at it while shigaraki walked in.

"tomu!! you're back", she greeted.

shigaraki smiled at the sound of her voice. he could get used to being greeted when he came back from work or missions.

he sat next to chō, taking off all the hands off his body. he knew chō liked looking at his face when they were together. he still didn't understand why, but he complied anyways.

"don't get too close, you might get sick too", chō warned.

ignoring her comment, shigaraki snuggled closer to chō. wearing the gloves she gave him, he started playing with her left hand, eventually just holding it.

he watched chō draw more stars on the paper. and at one point, he even fell asleep.

"tomura!! tomura!!", chō called, waking shigaraki up.

shigaraki looked around. the sun had already set and it was a little past dinner time.

"why'd you wake me up?", he asked as he just hugged chō.

chō laughed. "come on. I have somewhere to show you", she said, standing up with the help of shigaraki.

"where are we going?", he asked.

"and since when have I ever told you where we go?", chō retorted as she held shigaraki's hand.

they arrived at the rooftop. it was decorated with fairy lights and a blanket fort was set up in the middle of it all. snacks were placed along with many pillows and more blankets.

emi was laying on one of the pillows, waiting for them.

"h-how did you—"

"twice and the others did it for us. I asked for his help and he happily agreed. but don't tell kuro....he doesn't know that I borrowed his wallet", chō warned.

shigaraki smiled. he walked over to the pillow fort with chō following behind.

laying down, chō mimicked his actions. shigaraki was cuddling chō until she pulled something out.

just like every time, she combed through shigaraki's tousled hair. she took out two yellow star hair clips and placed them beside his head.

"how do you always have so many?", shigaraki asked. he didn't particularly hate having hair clips in his hair, but it just felt weird having his bangs restrained back.

"I bought a pack when I went shopping with himiko", chō replied as she laid down again.

shigaraki nuzzled his face into her shoulder, making chō laugh. her neck was sensitive and he was tickling her with his blue hair.

shigaraki gave out a low chuckle.

"oh look!! a shooting star", chō said. "make a wish!!"

even though shigaraki didn't believe in those silly myths, he still did it anyways. he knew that if he didn't, he wouldn't hear the end of it.

"I wish for you to stay by my side forever", he mumbled out.

chō gently slapped him on the chest. "you're not suppose to say it out loud! or else it won't come true", she pouted.

shigaraki just smiled. he knew it would come true. he just did.

as they looked at each other, they shared a kiss.

"I have something to tell you, tenko", chō said seriously.

shigaraki listened, as he couldn't be any happier in the moment.

"yeah?"

"I'm..."
