alt title : when it's all said and done
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"YOU KNOW, YOU DIDNT have to make it this freaking cold." [y/n] adds with a huff rubbing her arms to keep herself warm, breath visible in the air.

meanwhile, todoroki pays no mind to her complaining his back turned to her. "are you afraid of a little cold, sorceress?"

"yeah, when i don't have a jacket."

about 45 minutes have passed since they arrived in the landslide area of the USJ. for the their next course of action was to escape their location and to see if they could find the rest of their class.

as such, todoroki was keen on interrogating with the villains sent after them. freezing them in place as a warning, further ignorance to their questions and fushiguro would be the one to take over.

it wasn't long before they got the answers they needed.

"so they wanted to scatter us and kill us." [y/n] raised an eyebrow, hands to her hips. "but it's clear that you're a bunch of idiots that don't know what they're doing."

"thugs who don't know their quirks from their asses." todoroki adds, his expression painted with a scowl. frost biting at his fingertips but he barely felt it.

inching closer to him, the dark haired girl leans in close to the dual haired boy. causing him to tense up at feeling of their shoulders brushing against each other.

"at first glance, it seems that main villain gathered up an elite force to overwhelm us with numbers." [y/n] assumes her voice quiet, arms crossing as her expression is thoughtful.

"they must of thought they could use us as pawns to their liking." todoroki adds, his voice just as quiet. "by estimation, those who pose a real threat are maybe 4 to 5."

"i say it would be at least 6."

"and if you're wrong?"

"why would it matter?"

he shrugs his shoulders absentmindedly. "you seem like
the type not wanting to be wrong about things."

"hah?" [y/n] blinks, her face scrunched up in annoyance. her initial reaction making the boy back away. "i could say the same thing about you."

in response, todoroki rolls his eyes going back to the task at hand. the air around him becomes increasingly cold again. then, his icey eyes glare down the villains he's managed to capture within his ice.

[y/n] almost wants to step back, almost. but she was mostly amused on how dangerous of aura he's putting on. despite how she views the dual haired boy.

"at this rate," he rasps, his own breath visible. "you all will slowly succumb to necrosis."

the girl behind him walks up right next to him with an uncharacteristically wicked smirk on her pretty face. "but since we're aiming to be heroes we're trying to avoid all that horrific shit."

"so tell us." todoroki breathes out, his anger slipping.

the villain's feel the air shift drastically as they were now in the presence of something more terrifying. the mixture of the unforgiving ice and the darkness that knew no bounds brought out their innate fear.

'run' yelled their minds. but how could they as they were already trapped in their grasp. they could only struggle.

with the slight tilt of her head, fushiguro demands. "tell us how you plan to kill all might?" her voice dripping with poison.

"that's the only way any of you will survive."

INTERROGATION PROVED TO BE useful for the two u.a students as they've become aware of what they're fighting against.

so without much options, the two teens make a run for it. hoping to see if they could reconvene with any of their classmates or pass along the information they have gathered.

but what [y/n] was most worried about, 'izuku has to be okay! he's smart enough to know when to run!' but taken into account of his own recklessness, it doesn't ease anything the way she wishes it would.

god, she wishes it did.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

only midoriya knew what all might was risking at that moment.

it probably crossed his mind too, walking in the USJ in that tall form of his. knowing he exhausted himself this morning, using up all the hours he could stay in that form.

while everyone else was feeling so hopeful that he was here. midoriya could only feel a fear in his bones, tingling his muscles to move.

his mentor, the person he's looked up to all his life. the man who gave this chance to stand where he stood. to run along the path of a hero he's dreamed of since he was a child.

midoriya couldn't let him do that. he couldn't bear the thought of it.

"asui-san, please take aizawa-sensei off of my shoulders." his voice was shaking as she promptly agreed.

as he passed the safety of their homeroom teacher to her, midoriya takes off running. a certain type of determination and courage coursing through his veins.

"ALL MIGHT!"

he calls to his teacher, bring alarm and attention to his presence. worry and his own fear erupting as that shadowy figure takes on a new target.

and before midoriya knew it, that figure appears before him with the intention stopping his tracks. eyes wide with uncertainty but that wouldn't stop him.

but before even an inch of his body could touch the abyss, a loud explosion and voice rings in front of him.

"OUTTA THE FUCKING WAY, DEKU!"

there was sense of relief seeing his childhood friend blow the villain up and down to the ground.

but he wasn't alone.

suddenly, nearby ice grows on the floor, covering the large villain holding the #1 pro down. "we heard about you bastards' plan." todoroki muses, a glare on his face. "about each of your roles to kill all might."

meanwhile, kirishima goes to attack the villain with the hands on his face but misses completely. but someone else covers for him.

like a shadow waiting in the dark, [y/n] slips past the red-head.

she sweeps her feet under the villain's but he dodges. but [y/n] follows that move with high spin kick. using both her legs in quick succession, hitting him.

then, to immobilize him. nue comes flying in and pins the villain down using its claws causing him to yelp. standing straighter, [y/n] breathes heavily wiping the sweat of her forehead.

her dark jade green eyes look down at the scrawny man below her. it was amusing to watch him struggle under nue, like he was truly afraid of her shikigami.

suddenly, he manages to free one of his hands and confidently smack his hand against nue's feathered body.

but nothing happens.

and he seemed to realize that as his breathing becomes erratic as he smacks his hand against nue's body, almost desperate. at first the sight confused [y/n], but she gets the gist of it quickly.

so fast, that she dares herself to move a tad closer, peering down at him. to the point their eyes meet, colors red and green clashing against each other.

"just so you know," she starts, helping herself to the villain's horrified eyes when she gives him that smirk of hers. "petty things like quirks are no match for my shikigami."

as silence takes over as an assumed response. 'petty things...' he thinks, watching the girl walk away. left with the questions on what she meant by that.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

fushiguro runs over to midoriya, quickly popping around his figure for anything that be might wrong. the boy tries to keep up with her fast movements, feeling his freckled cheeks turning warm.

but when her jade green eyes land on his dominant hand. her heart is ridden with guilt, knowing he had to use that power of his.

midoriya could see it, it was written all over her face. but the only thing he could offer in return was simple reassuring smile.

that's all he could muster with his courage.

but their atmosphere turns serious, facing the villains they managed to capture. [y/n]'s eyes wander to all might as he able to escape that giant humanoid villain, with the help of todoroki's ice. but not without its damages as she could see the hero's side bleeding through his shirt.

meanwhile, bakugo held down the warp villain using his explosions, "just as i thought! this prick was never all that sharp!"

the wild grin on bakugo's face couldn't be contained. "you gonna tell me you don't use that warp-gate to hide your true body?! huh?! that metal piece on your body that you use to get all warpy just got sealed, motherfucker!"

he had nailed it in the coffin. thinking back to when he first initially attacked the villain. "if that mist were your true from you wouldn't have dodged our attacks!" this even surprised the villain himself. yellow eyes squinting ludicrously at the ash blonde boy.

in trying to move bakugo caught him, "don't move!" placing more explosion against his body. "if you so much move as twitch, i'll blast you into pieces!"

"that's not very hero like!"

meanwhile the scrawny man's hands twitch. "we've been cornered and what's more, you all came out unscathed. you kids will make the league of villains look bad."

his words only make nue react violently, flapping its wings to generate electricity. his hands trying to activate his quirk to kill it but it still doesn't work.

"oh, i wouldn't do that!" [y/n] muses, a hand to her hip making the man stop and her head tilts mockingly. her jade green eyes shining with smugness. "my shikigami don't like it when they're threatened. they might act before i give an order."

out of options, the scrawny man looks towards his comrade, calling his name. "nomu," he orders making him twitch. "grab that animal girl and explosion boy."

what that nomu thing does next could only send shivers down everyone's spine.

nomu pulls himself out the warp, breaking the ice around one side of his body basically leaving him armless and legless. but he was still moving.

todoroki himself was shocked, considering it was his ice to begin with. but to think that thing could so move freely after its limbs were freezed off.

"i don't get it?! he shouldn't be moving!" midoriya adds jut as horrified as the rest of his classmates.

"stand back! all of you!" all might warns the students, waving at them to move away from the fight.

that's when nomu starts to regain the lost limbs he lost. muscles growing and it's dark blue skin covering. as if nothing had happened to him in the first place.

all might was feels himself bead sweat. "i thought you said his quirk was shock absorption?!"

the scrawny man can't help but cackle a bit. "i never said that was his only quirk. as you can see he also has the ability to regenerate."

soon enough, the being who had no arm or leg had grown it back. "nomu was built on the idea to take you on even at 100%."

and before anyone could comprehend what happened next, nomu's eyes land on his target, bakugo and fushiguro. simply taking a step forward to make his next move.

the kids barely had time to react, feeling their heart beat in their ears and holding their breath.

"KACCHAN! [N/N]!"

"FUSHIGURO!"

then, blasts of wind came from all directions. driving the kids away, distancing themselves from the villains.

when the dust began to settle, midoriya whips his head around. eyes landing on his right, finding his childhood friends both safe and sound.

bakugo had landed on top of fushiguro, laying across her stomach. "get off, you loaf!" prompting her to shove him off, the two sitting up.

her jade green eyes frantically look around, glaring as she notices that the hold nue had on the light blue haired villain was gone.

the shikigami blown away by the unexpected force and now heading back to her side. 'damnit!' she grits her teeth, glaring. 'i had him in one place!' nue going back into the depths of her shadow.

"you two dodged him?!" midoriya exclaims, praising them like always. but that was far from what happened.

"no, you fucking nerd." bakugo snaps back but even then, he goes quiet.

the two teens had a mixture of shock and confusion. they didn't dodge. they didn't even realize that nomu was even moving.

fushiguro's eyes could barely keep up with it. the only person she knows who could do something like that is her uncle toru.

and now, the number 1 pro hero.

while she is a big fan of all might, she thought she was being realistic. but now, it was barely registering that this man could actually go toe to toe with her uncle.

and now, he has taken the hit that was meant for them. his arms muscles throbbing as he breaths deeply, "...do you not know mercy?"

even the scrawny light blue haired man was puzzled, not believing the pro hero took the hit straight on. but he wasn't number 1 pro for nothing.

so he makes up excuses.

"we had no choice, we had to save our ally didn't we!" he starts, referring to the smoky figure. "and not so long ago, one of your kids..."

eyes scanned the nearby students standing together, landing the vaguely familiar lean figure and fluffy green hair. a smirk forms hidden away under the hand on his face.

"the plain looking one." he points out midoriya directly, making him flinch. as he remembers what he did to the villain earlier. "he tried to kill me with a maxed out punch. what kind of hero does something like that?"

both fushiguro and bakugo glance at the dark green haired boy, wondering if that's the reason for his wrapped up hand. proving once again, his body can not handle his quirk yet.

then, the man went on some tangent. preaching about how violence is same no matter whose doing it, only breeding more violence. all of it it just sounded like a whole bunch of nonsense.

"you're mad!" all might contests, his teeth gritting against each other. "you outta keep your anti-social views to yourself. besides, villains like you only do this for kicks."

all might wasn't wrong about that one.

now, that the pro hero was here, the children felt mode confident than before. "it's 3 vs 6, we'll be able to take them on." todoroki brings up, his right hand clenched as a mist of ice.

midoriya agrees with a hum, putting his fists up. "and kacchan figured out the mist guy's weakness!"

"these guys are crazy, but if we give all might some support!" kirishima's arms turning solid. "then we'll send these guys flying."

while fushiguro isn't opposed to helping all might— which would probably be a dream come true but. this isn't exactly the place to do such a thing.

and all might proved her point exactly. "no! you five have to leave now."

the kids looked shocked, with the exception of [y/n] as todoroki countered the argument. "if it wasn't for me, you'd still be stuck."

midoriya mumbled something about time limit but he also wanted to help the pro as much as he could. but once again, all might waved defensively and gave the children a thumbs up.

"right you are, young todoroki! thank you for that!" he acknowledges, a flustered feeling in the boy's chest. hearing genuine praise from his favorite hero. of course, he doesn't let it show. "but now, i'll be okay!! all you children need to do is watch a pro show how it's done!"

anticipation was rising in their chests. who would make the first move? and who would be the victor?

but to all might, he had this unfound confidence or was it courage? but to him, it didn't matter to him. he had to end this— why?

cause he was the symbol of peace.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

suddenly the light haired villain, charged towards the students with the intent to harm them. while they prepared to take him on, blasts of air got in the way.

all caused by the number 1 pro.

both the nomu and all might punch each other, their knuckles colliding causing shockwaves or air. before long, it was so powerful that everyone in the vicinity could barely hold their ground.

"get down!" [y/n] instructs her classmates shouting over the wind, as they practically skid across the pavement trying not to fly away.

"is he really gonna fight that thing head on?!"

"what other choice does he have?!"

soon, those punches turned into in all out brawl. with all might pushing nomu back. then the hero begins to throw the humanoid around, figures flying to the trees, destroying everything in their paths.

soon, all might hooks his arm spinning the nomu around before launching him to concrete, creating debris and cracks.

the students can't help but watch in awe, their minds trying to catch it all before them. their eyes filled with wonder and excitement. as if they were children once more watching their favorite hero on television again.

[y/n]'s jade green eyes shine like stars. her ebony hair waving around in the gusts of wind, gently. utterly in trance as she truly remembers why she fought so hard for the spot she is in today.

a reminder why she admired this hero so much.

before anyone knew it, all might with one last punch blows the nomu to the air. its body flying across the USJ and shooting through the ceiling, causing explosions in the light fixtures.

its explosions cause shockwaves to the ground, shaking the establishment in its entirety. then as soon as it started, it ended all the same. leaving behind clouds of dust.

"just— just what was that?!" kirishima exclaims, a sweat rolling down his face, utterly in disbelief. "it was like scene straight from a comic book!"

kirishima was probably the only one who could speak at all, while the other four were completely speechless. in awe of what they've witnessed, this is what they've wanted to achieve.

this is what they dreamed for.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

fushiguro should have known something was up.

midoriya had gotten too quiet for her liking. normally the boy would all over the moon about seeing all might fight in person.

but when she gazes upon his expression, [y/n] raises an eyebrow. he was muttering to himself again, something she could barely catch.

"izu?" she calls, brows furrowed. a nagging feeling tugging at her. a delicate hand reaches out to him but he was gone in a flash.

'—what?'

once again her jade green eyes could barely keep up and when it did, midoriya had charged forward to protect all might. which could only cause more questions but that was the least of her problems.

"IZUKU!" [y/n] shouts, a slight crack in her voice running after him, and there were yells behind her trying to stop her. but her desperation grows when she sees a grimy hand reach out for him.

she panics, knowing what the consequences could be. she pushes her arm forward hoping to grab him. before it was too late—

—BANG!

a gunshot rings out, the bullet going through the hand of the light haired villain. everyone in the area ducks, including [y/n].

she covers her ears, trying to block out the noise. flinching when more shots are fired. she could feel her heart racing, jumping from any semblance of anything loud.

but, it calms down once her jade green eyes spot the group of people on top of the stairs. 'it's the teachers!' slowly pulling herself up, hands still covering her ears.

the heroes of u.a high stood tall, iida standing by them. which could only bring the assumption that he was tasked to leave and bring the staff here.

soon enough, the teachers begin charging forward to protect the students and fighting off any remaining low threatening villains.

meanwhile, the hand villain and his partner try to escape. but are almost stopped by the help of 13 who began suck them both in with her quirk.

it was to no avail as they both were able to escape. but not without some parting words to japan's #1 hero.

"we'll get you next time! symbol of peace, all might!"

then, they left without a trace and all was quiet.

⨳ 𓏲˖ 🐺 ˖ ࣪ 🐾 ָ࣪ 𓏲⋆.

RECOVERY AND EVACUATION was in action quickly, the teachers gathering the students to safety.

fushiguro had almost manhandled one of the teachers, midnight, who didn't let her join midoriya's side. saying the teachers would tend to his wounds and assure his safety.

letting logic run though her head, she took a breather and let the staff do what's needed. although it pained her to let it go so easily.

now, [y/n] and her classmates crowded outside the USJ. with police and medical professionals there to assist any injuries they may have.

"16... 17... 18..." a detective counts heads, accounting for every one of the students. his eyes fall downwards, skimming over the numbers. "everyone seems to be here and unharmed, except for that boy who broke his legs."

there was a sigh of relief that fell upon the children. knowing that each one of them were all okay in the end.

"ojirou," hagakure calls her friend. a gloved hand laying on his shoulder for his attention. "i heard you were a really good fighter! i had no idea you were that strong!"

the boy sweats at her sweet words. "i didn't know i was the only one on my own." he sighs, "i survived using hit and run tactics."

his eyes turn and grasp on where hagakure's would be. "so where did you end up fighting, hagakure?"

if ojirou could see her face, it would probably be lit up with excitement. it was adorable to imagine it if he were being honest.

"the landslide zone!" she exclaims, her fingers point at two of their classmates; todoroki and fushiguro.

ojirou's eyes following where they pointed. the two silent teens basically floated around each other, tolerating the company.

"you wouldn't believe how strong fushiguro and todoroki are! they're amazing!"

"you don't say! well, i'm just glad you didn't get hurt."

meanwhile the two prodigies glance at each other with the same thought. 'we didn't even know she was with us?!'

in that same instance, kirishima of all people— had walked up to [y/n] with a nervous smile.

"hey fushiguro," he calls, a hand rubbing his neck. indicating he was a bit jittery. "i wanted to make sure you were doing alright."

[y/n] raised a brow, confused. "uh, i'm fine?" she states with a shrug. "not much cause for concern."

todoroki didn't take part in the conversation, turning away slightly but he didn't leave the girl alone.

'why is he talking to me?' the dark haired girl asks herself. tuning out kirishima's voice with an annoyed look. 'i'm already pissed off they wouldn't let me stay with izuku. last thing i need is—'

"—so i wanted to ask, how did you and todoroki get mud all over yourselves?"

the pretty girl blinks, that peculiar sentence caught her and todoroki completely off guard. their eyes glance at each other as the memory of the two clinging to one another falling into a lake of mud resurfaced.

their faces burn with embarrassment, looking away immediately as they both say, "it's none of your business."

the quickness of their response surprised kirishima and it stirred something in him. but he let it go, hesitant.

fushiguro watches the boy walk away, still confused on what he got out of talking with her. but she pushes the thought away as the detective rounds up the children once more.

worried about their teacher, asui asks the detective about his condition. and he complies with the request, "his arms are riddled with comminuted fractures, and he's suffering from facial fractures. but luckily he doesn't have an brain damage."

there was a wave of sadness the befalls on the class. knowing that their teacher's injuries was all in the means to protect them.

"as for 13," he continues, grabbing the children's attention again. "i fear her back and upper arms have sustained serious lacerations. that being said, vitals are stable."

now with a bated breath, he follows with the next teacher. "all might is the same. he's not in critical condition and should make a good recovery in the infirmary."

iida and uraraka feel as though they were twiddling their thumbs. before the short girl could even ask the question that both weigh on their minds, someone else steps up.

[y/n]. everything about her was overtaken by worry and frustration. "izuku." she rasps, her voice soft. knowing the damage she saw when they took him. "what about izuku?"

the class watched the clam and polite girl they've come to know. those steel iron layers of hers slightly peeled back to something they were not privy too.

the detective blinks, her presence startling him a bit. he was confused but only for a moment. but then, he gives the girl a reassuring smile. "izuku midoriya was fit to be in infirmary, as well. it's nothing serious."

relief washes over [y/n], sighing. 'he's okay. he's okay.' her hand grasping at her shirt to calm her beating heart. 'he's okay.'

words continued to float around her, but it goes in one ear and out the other. her mind elsewhere. soon enough, the detectives let the children all pile back inside the bus to go back to u.a.

[y/n] situates herself in the very back. having no energy to be around the others. slumping back and arms crossed, her eyes observing.

even if she did, she still wouldn't sit with them. she would probably just feel like the odd one out. like she always did, but it was for the better.

"what are you looking at?"

the sudden sound of todoroki's calm voice makes her tense up and puzzled. even more so when the boy sits down next to her, willingly.

her silence doesn't give todoroki the answer he's looking for. so he looks to where she was staring at. it so happened to be kirishima.

"were you staring at him?"

"eh-what?! no!"

the dark haired girl defends herself. "why would i even do that in the first place?"

he shrugs his shoulders eyes looking back to the redhead, "he seemed to be quite interested in you earlier." he mentions, recounting back inside the USJ. "he yelled after you when you were in danger."

[y/n] could not contain the confused expression that lies on her face. it was almost comical to todoroki, his lips barely ghosting of what could be a smile.

"the ice must of rotted that brain of yours ice prince." [y/n] adds sarcasticly. "there's no reason for him to concerned, i can take care of myself just fine."

the boy doesn't say anything in return, knowing she was right. but he then wonders, why did she hold on to him so tightly when they were falling from the air?

it like she was, scared.

but such questions would be left unanswered as the bus' engines start up. the vehicle moving to its last destination for the day.

todoroki and [y/n] stay quiet, their tolerance at play. they don't ask why they chose to stay close. no jabbing attitudes at each other or insults.

just tolerant silence.

it was better that way.

⨳ 𓏲˖ 🐺 ˖ ࣪ 🐾 ָ࣪ 𓏲⋆.

THE DARK EVENING falls upon the day. each of the students of class 1-a returned to their families safely as an announcement that classes were suspended for a week.

[y/n] and midoriya were escorted home by bodyguards ordered by mei, as she got a call from the school about what happened.

so now, [y/n] was back home. well it's just her and her demon dogs, trailing behind her as she speaks to her mother on the phone.

"māma, don't worry," the dark haired girl reassures, walking in the estate to the kitchen. out of her uniform and now in a simple large grey t-shirt and shorts. her ebony hair damp from the shower she took. "if you have to stay overnight it's okay."

[y/n] could hear mei sigh, "are you sure?" holding her phone between her cheek and shoulder, opening the fridge. "i can cancel everything and be there with you! you know how your bàba gets."

the girl rolls her jade green eyes as demon dogs wag their tails as they wait for food. "māma," she emphasizes, bringing out leftovers for her to eat. "seriously. it's okay. and i understand how bàba gets, but i am fine."

handling the phone back to her hand, she leaves the fridge after setting the containers on the counter. "is bàba on a mission?" and then resting against it.

"he is, he won't be home until tomorrow morning."

"then. i'll be fine. i'll eat and stay in my room."

hearing her mother sigh again  [y/n] knows she finally caves in but not without its worries, "if anything happens baby, you call me or satoru, understand?"

"yes, yes, yes, māma. i understand." she laughs softly, saying her goodbyes before ultimately ending the call.

silence takes over as [y/n] as she watches her phone screen dim out. leaving her in the dark of the kitchen, the fridge as her only light.

there was a feeling tugging at her heart. when was the last time she was left alone like this? with nobody but her demon dogs giving her comfort.

was she forgetting something? 'eh,' she thinks with a careless expression. 'it'll come to me later.'

she takes advantage of her loneliness and sits comfortably on the kitchen counter. her feet dangle and the surface feeling cold under her thighs. she proceeds to open up the leftovers and putting them in the microwave that was right by her head.

as the whirling sound of the machine cooks her food, [y/n] lays her head back against cabinets sighing. taking in the quietness of her home and somehow, her mind goes back to todoroki.

the memory of today's events weighed on her. fushiguro calls herself lucky she wasn't stranded. even if the boy's presence wasn't as welcoming as she imagined it would be.

by then, [y/n]'s food had finished heating up, grabbing the containers and opening them from the microwave. she begins eating as she continued to stay on the countertop.

the smell of the food got her dogs excited, a laugh escapes her as they beg for it. so, she tosses the two a few pieces of chicken which they were happily satisfied with.

'he isn't as bad as i thought he would be.' she admits
biting into rice and chicken. 'when you know, melt that stupid heart of ice of his.'

her chopsticks linger against lips as she thinks, looking back on that silent bus ride. 'he's not annoying to be around...'

fushiguro stops herself, a sad sigh escaping her. she knows she can't get any closer. not like she knew how.

but there's this, underlying fear that always stays in the back of her mind. constantly reminding her she can't get close. 'it's better this way...'

especially not now, not when she must accomplish something first.

her phone buzzes against the counter, bringing her out of her thoughts. her jade green eyes note of the notification popping up.

laying her chopsticks and container down, [y/n]'s free hand takes hold of her phone. the screen lighting up her face and the charm attached to it swaying a slight bit.

for a moment, [y/n] doesn't really register the notification. it was only a reminder from her calendar. but when she does, her heart drops and her shoulders slump.

she had forgotten about it, truly.

suddenly, the cold air from the fridge feels lukewarm at best. she could feel sheen a sweat begin form on the back of her neck.

it was spring night but it felt like she was standing in the summer sun.

[y/n] looses her appetite, her stomach in knots. she feels as if though she was trapped again. alone and in the dark with no one but herself to take care of.

she raises one of her legs to the counter top, heel barely on the edge. she hug her leg as if to find comfort but yet, her hand finds it's way to her shin.

her fingers runs over the scars that are etched into her [s/c] skin. a ghostly sting throbs in both of them, sharing the same damage.

her demon dogs begin to notice her discomfort and worry, sensitive to the change in atmosphere. tears burned her eyes as she tried holding them back, that feeling that was nagging at her.

she finally knew what it was.

while spring brought new beginnings and fushiguro steps onto a new path. there's a day in spring that could only bring undeniably scare to her heart, every year.
