Second Chances, a Shouto and Touya fix-it one-shot ~

tags: healing todofam, todosibs, Shouto and Touya focused, some dabihawks and bktd in the time jump part

note: this ended up a lot longer than planned, and I even added a time jump for some dabihawks and tdbk in there hehe! And as usual I'm playing a little fast and loose with the ages of the Todoroki kids for plot purposes, so let's just go with it and have fun, yeah?

~ ao3 link ~

He got life as a gift for a second time.

That's what the doctors and nurses keeps telling him, at least.

But right now, Touya's not sure he agrees with them.

The sterile air in the hospital room makes his nose and mouth feel dry, his eyes feels tired of all the white; the white walls, floors, sheets, his white bandages.

But honestly, while his body is covered in bandages and skin grafts and the intense pain that flares through his very bones every time he takes a breath, he still thinks the worst part is the embarrassment.

Turns out nobody tells you how embarrassing it is to almost die.

The nurses treat him like he's some little baby, which he isn't, he's 13 and a half, and the doctors talk all over him.

Meanwhile his family is all being totally awkward and weird, even more so than before, which quite frankly is saying something.

All Touya wanted had been for his dad to see him, to listen and to give him a little attention; how stupid and unknowing he had been.

Now his father refuses to leave his side, always just sitting there, teary eyed and sad looking, which is ridiculous when Touya's not used to see him show any emotion besides anger.

At first he has tried to hold Touya's hand all the time, but Touya managed to put a stop to that sooner rather than later.

His mom is quiet, and she's usually smiling and telling him about her day and how the wildlife in their garden is doing, but Touya sees the sadness in her eyes, too.

No matter how much she tries to hide it.

Fuyumi and Natsuo clearly thinks the hospital is scary, and Fuyumi keeps berating him for hurting himself, but she also loves to whisper to him about how dad is different now, that he barley goes to work, and Natsuo said that he even tried to watch SpongeBob with them recently.

Touya would love to have witnessed that, but all he gets is weepy dad.

No fair.

The only one he hasn't seen yet is Shouto, and he understands why.

Touya is way too scary looking for a little kid like Shouto.

One of the changes Fuyumi and Natsuo mentioned is that dad is no longer super focused on training Shouto, and Touya thinks Shouto should be able to enjoy that without being traumatized by seeing his brother looking like a freaky mix of a mummy and Frankenstein's monster.

So no, Shouto had not come to visit, yet.

But apparently he's been asking about "Nii-San" all the time, and their mom is insisting that Shouto is ready, but Touya isn't so sure.

The next time his mom comes through the door to the room to his hospital room, she looks weirdly nervous, but she's also smiling.

Like she has a secret.

Touya's not a fan of secrets.

She sits down next to him carefully, and when he finally looks at her properly, she puts her hand on his.

"Someone's here to see you, today," she says softly, and Touya sighs.

"Is it dad?" he asks in his new, creaky voice.

"Is he crying?"

Touya swears his mom hides a smile behind her hand.

"No dear, your father is home with your brother and sister," she informs him, and Touya nods.

"Good."

Rei tilts her head.

"Your little brother really worries for you, Touya," she says softly, and Touya has a feeling she's not talking about Natsuo.

"Probably because you guys are making such a fuss," Touya mumbles grumpily, before he adds.

"And dad crying all the time."

Rei actually fully smiles this time.

"That might be, but he refused to let me leave without him today, so he's sitting outside in the waiting room as we speak," she tells him, and Touya's heart starts speeding up.

"You let him come?!" he asks, and Rei sighs.

"Like I told you, he refused to let me leave," she says.

"I think that was the first temper tantrum he's thrown in his whole little life, actually."

Touya's eyes widens.

"He did?" he asks, only half believing her.

"He did," Rei confirms, before she continues.

"He's also refusing to see you with me in the room, so I'm gonna go outside and send him in now."

Touya doesn't protest, but he can't meet her eyes.

"It's time, baby," Rei says softly as she strokes his cheek, before she gently tilts his face so he has to face her.

"And be kind to your brother."

Touya nods.

He doesn't have enough energy to put up a fight.

His mom gets up to leave, and Touya keeps looking out the window, trying to show how disinterested he is.

The door closes, and he hears two quiet voices outside for a bit, before a tentative knock hits his door.

Touya sighs heavily.

"Come in, Shouto," he calls out as loud as his fried vocal cords will let him.

The door creaks open, and the sound of little footsteps comes closer towards his bed.

Touya really doesn't want to turn around and face his little brother.

What if he scares him?

With his burned face and bandaged body, with his new voice and his pale face, those parts that aren't burned at least.

Turns out Touya doesn't have to turn around, because Shouto's already made that choice for him by walking all the way around the bed.

Suddenly Shouto is standing right in front of him, his mis-matched eyes staring straight into Touya's, and for a few seconds his expression is unreadable.

Touya's heart is beating so fast and hard he worries it'll alert the nurses.

Then, as if someone pulled away curtains on a sunny day, Shouto's face lights up with pure joy and relief.

"Nii-San!" he squeals, and clumsily tries to climb up into Touya's bed.

Touya just stares, trying to figure out if this is real.

Shouto finally clambers up into the bed, and he gently reaches out to put his hand on Touya's cheek.

Exactly like their mom.

"Nii-San, does it hurt?" he asks quietly, and Touya blinks down at him.

Then he nods.

"Yes, it does," he says carefully, and if Shouto is scared of his voice, he doesn't show it.

Shouto's face falls a little, so Touya hurries to continue.

"But they give me great pain medication, and the doctors says my skin gr-"

Touya cuts himself off mid-sentence to not traumatize his almost-seven year old brother more than necessary.

"Uhm, my brand new skin is growing quick and it's strong!"

Shouto's eyes are huge, but not from fear, rather... awe?

"You're so strong, Touya-nii!" he exclaims eagerly, and Touya feels a blush creep up on his cheeks.

"I'm not..." he starts, but once again cuts himself off.

No need to take his own self hatred out by airing it out to his baby brother.

"Well, thank, Shou," Touya says quietly as he gently ruffles the kid's two toned hair.

Shouto beams.

"When I grow up I wanna be like you," Shouto declares, and Touya's heart squeezes.

Had he always been this goddamn cute?!

Touya gives him a wry smile.

"Maybe a little less fried, tho, right?" he asks in a teasing tone, and Shouto giggles, before his face gets serious again.

"You were very hurt, Nii-san," he says in his serious little voice.

"Dad cried."

Touya sighs and rolls his eyes.

"Well, dad cries every time he's here now, so you don't get to complain!" Touya says, trying to lighten the mood.

Shouto doesn't smile.

"I was really scared, Touya-Nii," he whispers.

Touya averts his eyes.

"I'm sorry about that, Shou," he says quietly, and suddenly a small hand grabs Touya's.

"Just don't get hurt like that again, okay?" Shouto asks, and Touya looks back at him.

"I'll try my best," he says with a small smile.

Shouto shakes his head.

"Promise!" he insists.

Touya chuckles.

"Fine, I promise," he says and he ruffles Shouto's hair again.

"Promise."

At this point, a trip to the hospital is like a trip to the grocery store for Touya.

Even his family doesn't kick up much of a fuss for these smaller procedures anymore, which is quite nice honestly.

Especially now that he has a boyfriend that takes care of all that worrying for him.

This was the first time since he and Keigo got serious he had to go under anesthesia for a small procedure, and Keigo had not been coping too well.

He was pretty good at pretending to keep it cool, but Touya knew better, and it was obvious he'd been a nervous wreck.

Which is why he's rather surprised when the first person through his doors when he's come to after surgery isn't Keigo.

Touya should have known.

"Nii-San!" he exclaims as he hurries over to Touya's bedside.

Touya can't help but smile.

"Hi, Shou," he says tiredly, and Shouto sits down on his bedside.

Even now, 18 years old, interning as a Pro-Hero and with a steady boyfriend, Shouto still gets that look in his eyes sometimes.

The one he had when he told Touya that he wanted to be just like him when he grew up.

To be fair he wasn't doing half bad on the matter.

Shouto was interning at the same agency that Touya (and Keigo) currently worked at, and he was already taking an extra interest in rescue and first aid work.

Touya couldn't be prouder.

"So, why is your face the first I see, and not my doting boyfriend?" Touya asks dryly, and Shouto shrugs.

"Because I told him to wait outside," Shouto said simply.

Touya felt a headache coming on.

"Why?" he asks, and Shouto tilts his head.

"Because I'm the first one who sees you," Shouto says simply, and Touya rolls his eyes.

This kid.

"I hope you were nice to Keigo at least?" he asks, and Shouto nods.

"I'm always nice to Keigo, I like him a lot."

Touya feels a small smile tug on his lips.

"I'm not so sure about Kats, tho," Shouto adds thoughtfully.

Touya's smile drops.

"...please tell me you did not leave Keigo alone with Bakugo?" Touya asks, and Shouto blinks.

"Why would I tell you that?" Shouto asks genuinely.

Touya sighs heavily.

"Nevermind Shou, could you just tell Keigo that he can come in now?" he asks, and Shouto nods.

"Oh, sure," he agrees and gets up off the bedside.

Before he goes to save Touya's boyfriend and keep his own in check, he stops and gives Touya a genuine look.

"I'm glad you're okay, Nii-San," he says quietly, and Touya smiles.

"Well, I'm glad you cam to check on me, Shou," Touya says back, and Shouto beams.

"I'm planning on keeping it that way," Shouto informs him.

Touya chuckles.

"I'll tell Keigo," he says dryly, but Shouto nods serious.

"Yeah, you probably should."

Touya waits to roll his eyes until Shouto's turned around.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, Touya-Nii."

Touya huffs.

"Just get my boyfriend, you menace."

Shouto turns back to give him a final smile before he goes out the door, and as soon as the door opens the sound of Bakugo's voice hits them both, and Shouto suddenly seems in a bit more of a hurry.

"Yeah, hurry up you little weirdo," Touya mumbles as Shouto scatters off.

He's rather grateful he still has his biggest fan, after all.

I already know that heaven is a place

Summary: You are Johnny's girlfriend and he goes missing..

Warnings: death, mentions of murder, dying, not happy, im so sorry, please forgive, mentions of maybe getting over grief, also maybe cringy idk stop

Author's Note: heyy yalll, so sorry about this one, this one might burn a little. but it also might be really bad idk im so geeked please help. This fic is inspired by "Red, White and Blue" by Remy bond, tmrw will be "how to disappear" by Lana Del Rey for darrryryry

Everything around you felt like a spark of him. Something that tugged on the back of your brain and captured your breath greedily. The overwhelming sense of how much he left behind, and how unsatisfied you were. You stared at the little dip in the corner of your bed, a last reminisce of his being after he stayed at your house the night before he went missing. You slept on the floor, not willing to disrupt the mattress's condition. It felt like you were going crazy.

When day broke, the morning of the night he left, you adventured outside your house to find the lot taped up in yellow with cops crawling all over. You shivered, a sense of discomfort gripping your heart. Your feet quickened and you hurriedly walked to Johnny’s house. He told you he would meet you outside around this time so you sat by his curb.

Time passed and leaves rustled around you. Your heart sank further and further, and soon enough you got up to leave. Your head filled with promises that he was alright, but your mind clouded with worse-case-scenarios. Taking a different route than the one by the lot, you rushed to Dally’s place of the week.

You knocked hastily, fingers quivering in nervousness. A slightly hungover and dazed Dallas opened.

“Whaddya want?” He said, rough New York accent poking through.

“Where’s Johnny? Is he with you?” You asked, looking behind him into the empty room.

Dallas sighed, “I don’t know where he is.”

You bit your lip, “D-do you think something could’ve happened to him? When I was walking I saw a bunch of police around the lot, did he go to the lot?” You asked, eyes welling with tears. You watched as Dallas’s hand tightened on the doorknob when you mentioned the lot.

“It’s true! Oh, please don’t tell me he’s-” You cried but Dallas stopped you.

“Look, crazy. He ain’t dead.”

“W-what?” You asked, wiping your tears quickly.

“I can obviously tell you care about the kid, I’ll tell you what’s happening. Johnny and Pony got into a bad fight with a soc, they killed ‘em at the lot. Self defense, of course. So I loaded them up with a fat stack of cash, some supplies and sent ‘em somewhere they can hide out,” He shrugged, as if it was no big deal, but you could tell by his clenched jaw that he was nervous.

“Where?” You asked, slightly dumbfounded at how much could happen in one night.

“Won’t tell ya. But I will tell you, I’m going there soon. If you want, I can take a message,” He said, patting your shoulder. You opened your mouth to say something, but he cut you off.

“But not right now, I got some business to take care of. See ya, kid.” He said, sending you away.

Time passed and you saw life grow dull. There was just something amiss but always there. Like a scent that you loved but can’t quite name, or those fleeting memories that feel like seconds. You pressed forward, waiting for his return, hoping for it.

It came in the worst way possible. Johnny always had to be a hero. A quality you found yourself swooning and crying over. You grasped his damaged hand lightly, on your knees beside his hospital bed, ready to burst with tears.

“Oh, Johnny, why’d you do it,” You pressed your forehead to his arm, cheeks stained with tears.

Once you told Johnny that if he ever needed help, to just call you. He turned to you and said, “and what if it’s a soc, would’ya fight ‘em?” You smiled and told him, “yes, and if I had to, I would die for you.” You promised yourself and you promised him. So why weren’t you able to help him? Protect him?

“Please, Johnny..please, stay forever,” You cried.

The months that passed were a blur. Of colors that Johnny would wear, things that he called beautiful, his favorite activity to do with you. He was in the corner of everything, buried in deep parts of your world. He was there when you tied your shoes, and when you went to bed at night.

And people tell you, sometimes, when they think nobody can hear them, that Johnny flew too close to the sun. A small hint of a smile grows, a sad fond smile.

“But at least he flew.”

Anyways REI TODOROKI: one of the best written female characters I've seen in a long time and very VERY refreshing take from how shounen usually tackles women. It either kills the mother figure or leaves her existence a mystery. Or just one inspirational quote for the protagonist's power up but no. But here we have Rei guys, she's over 40, freaking gorgeous, mother to a hero and a villain. Doesn't need to be brash or violent to show she's powerful. Went through extremely harsh abuse the worst kind imaginable but came out stronger. Tiny but resilient. Spent 11 years of her life at a mental hospital, sees her son reveal to the public that he's a mass murderer and instead of breaking down she goes to confront her abusive husband about it (again he was so triggering for her) Rei who's words made Shoto want to be a hero despite the negative outlook Enji gave him about heroes. Sees dabi's inferno which is so hot people are told not to even look that way but she rides a robot towards it and runs into it even when she has zero resistance to flames. Rei who's still guilty about Touya blaming her back when he was 13. Endeavour not being able to do anything about it but Rei's quick actions delay the explosion until Shoto arrives. Thank you Horikoshi for giving her character closure. Rei todoroki the most woman ever.

#shes so underrated sorry all the male characters always dominate the narrative #but this woman makes her presence known #portrays a mother's emotions so well #bnha #rei todoroki #keeping up with the todorokis #I'm curious horikoshi: do you have a uterus #dabi #touya todoroki #shoto torodoki #bnha manga #bnha manga spoilers

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 26 - Amnesia Fics

March 11-17 is International Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Week - you can read more about that HERE. So to mark it and use this platform for some education, as as well as entertainment - please follow links for each of the following countries to resources about symptoms of head injury and how to care for those with one (or to donate in some cases) - USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, Finland, Austria, Taiwan.

Below stories, with a couple of exceptions, deal with effects of falls, and associated Amnesia, and how our favorite duo handle them. Thank you @riverlethe , @sinjazz, @nightofgales and @iwrestledavongonce for helping me find/double check resources and to @goddessalthena for making this GIF for me ❤️

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

The Answer - @ladyloveandjustice

Since this story most closely ties into the gif, I thought I would start with it. Mamoru wakes up alone in a hospital room with no recollection of how he got there and starts to panic, because it reminded him too much of his childhood. That is until Usagi bursts in and makes sure he is ok.

Don't Forget Me - Serenity-hime

Mamoru slips on some black ice while watching Usagi spin around in the freshly falling snow and hits his head, forgetting who he is. With Usagi feeling responsible for him, she tries to help out the best she can, noticing the effect he has on her when he is not hurling insults her way, and hoping that it won't change once he remembers.

Snowy Memories - Le_Serenity

Usagi remembers their past lives and their connection, but has to silently watch while Mamoru goes through his life without her in it and hope for the best.

Forget-me-not - @idesofnovember

This is the most light-hearted story in today's post. After finishing purifying a spirit, Sailor Moon gets hit with its dying curse that promises to take something precious from her.

Nocturne For A Queen / Mercy - @floraone

This is probably one of the best written yet saddest story-sets Flora has. When senshi had to awaken because of a threat, they avoided getting Usagi involved once again because she made a wish to be a normal girl. Even once she was fighting as part of the team, her memories of Mamoru and Endymion were locked away. Except that Mamoru loved her all this time and did his best to shield her from himself, at the cost of his own happiness.

Say You'll Remember Me - @wishwars

This is technically a start of a story that might one day get written in full, but also works as a one-shot. While waiting for Mamoru to show up to their impromptu picnic date, Usagi gets into an accident, causing her to forget whole years of her life.

Just Say Bubbles - @ninjettetwitch

While arguing with Rei, Usagi decides to test the Luna pen to turn herself into the Moon Princess. And then proceeds to break it by accident, getting stuck in her new look. Read on what happens when she tries to protect others from a Youma and gets hurt in the process, losing her memories of who she is while still in disguise.

UsaxMamo Writing Diet: Chapter 7: Hugs - @billyjbradshaw

After one of their worst arguments to date, Motoki makes Usagi go apologize to Mamoru for her insults regarding his upbringing.

Moonshine: Chapter 2: Memories on a Page - @queenrisa14

Mamoru runs into Usagi, who is clearly feeling down, and eventually convinces her to show him the rest of her drawings during the Doom Tree arc, with an expected effect.

When Eichi woke up all he could feel was soreness all over his body, being sweaty and probably an incoming headache. He remembers being in a practice room rented for the night, Fine had a upcoming live and Eichi was burdened with more work than he liked and practicing at night when everyone was already at sleep was the only way he could make up for not showing up on the usual practice routine of the other unit members, and after that he thinks me might have passed out or maybe was just too tired to have a memory of where he went after being done. He tried to get up to see where exactly his body had taken him only to be met with something keeping him in place, Eichi tried once more to get up and this time was met with a huff and for someone to pull him even closer.

"Keep quiet it's still early you can sleep a little more" The person keeping him trapped shot at him.

Eichi recognized the voice even with his morning drowsiness.

"Sakuma-kun might I get an answer as to why exactly I'm in your bed? Also let me up you are smothering me in your chest" Eichi said while squirming to get away from where Rei had trapped him in his chest.

"Hmmmm~ No can do you will probably try and go back to work and you look as if any small breeze would take you out"

Again Rei trapped him even further into his arms but this time let Eichi pop his head out of the other's chest.

"Rei I need to get up I have a lot of work to do and Fine has a big live in some days. I don't have the time to be idle or stay in" He said lifting his head to look directly into the supposed vampire's eye's only to be met with puffy eyes.

"Wha- why were you crying? Did something happen?"

Eichi lifted his hands to Rei's face and began tracing patterns on it with a concerned expression, the black haired male then nuzzled his hand and pressed a kiss to it.

"Do you know how scared I was yesterday? You showing up late at the dorms is normal to some extent, but you just didn't enter the door at all. I tried messaging you but you never answered me, then I went to where you usually work when you don't want to bother us in the dorm with your laptop but you weren't there-"

Rei got interrupted by Eichi suddenly hugging him and going back to where he was when he first woke up.

"Im sorry I didn't mean to worry you, but I really need to-"

This time Rei was the one to interrupt.

"Eichi you need to take a break that's what you need, what would have happened if you hadn't told Shiratori-kun that you were going to practice late at night, you didn't even message your unit about it, what if you were still passed out on that room floor to this hour? Your health is not something you can just play with, I know you usually want everything to go perfect even going as far as to put your health at risk for it, but you have to understand that seeing you pale and on the verge of passing out or passed out for that matter is not something I or anyone close to you likes to see."

Rei could probably continue his lecture even more if it wasn't for the fact he again was starting to cry, leave it to Eichi to make him cry first thing in the morning, so he decided only to stop and try to recompose himself. At least his lecture seems to have had an effect on Eichi, if him being so quiet was anything to go by, Rei started playing with the blond strands of his boyfriend's hair, humming some songs and trying to gather his thoughts.

"I just want you to take better care of yourself, everytime I get a message saying you got admitted to the hospital my mind always goes to the worst reason possible, seeing you with all those machines hooked up and beeping noises it scares me everytime"

The black haired man finished and looked down only to see the mess of blond hair looking back at him with a small smile.

"I usually didn't have people actually care about me, actually care, everyone around me always cared only on a surface level, specially my parents they didn't really care what happened to me as long as I could continue with the family bussiness or didn't dirty the family name, it's weird having other's care about me. I was always told not to show my weak side since it could be used against me." Eichi paused to hug Rei again.

"But it's nice having you care so much about me even after all I've done to you and those you hold dear. It's a good feeling having someone I hold so dear to me care about me"

Rei didn't know what to say, Eichi never opened up about his feelings without jokes along it or just opening up in general he always kept his emotions behind a mask. The black haired male could only hug the blond and press little kisses to the top of his head, the blond was finally showing him his 'weak' side that was usually hidden.

"I will never stop caring about you, even when you pull little stunts like last night." Rei put him hand under Eichi's chin and angled the other's head up so they were on looking at eachother again.

"I love you Eichi, don't forget that you are someone I hold dear to me and hate seeing you put your health on such a low priority"

Rei could see the moment the blond understood what was said, he started becoming red and hid his head on the vampire's chest and clutched his shirt. Rei could only give a small laugh at his reaction and started running his fingers thought the other's hair again, Eichi didn't need to say it back now, opening up as much as he did on such a small amount of time was probably hard enough for just a day.

They stayed like that for a while Rei playing with the soft blond hair, kissing it sometimes, he thought Eichi might have went back to sleep the blond hadn't said anything or done any big movement for a while his breathing also was quiet, but out of nowhere Rei could make out a murmur on his chest.

"Sorry I can't exactly hear your murmuring dear you have to speak up" The older tried to tease the other.

Eichi then lifted his head up again, still quite flushed from Rei's earlier confession, and spoke up.

"I said I love you too"

canon divergencies

connor murphy - connor survives his suicide attempt. he is hospitalized for a week, and once he’s discharged and back in school, he learns about what happened with evan. he refuses to speak to either evan or jared unless he has to and considers what they did one of the worst things a person could do. he begins therapy at cynthia’s insistence and reluctantly begins to repair his relationships with zoe, cynthia, larry, and miguel.

dallas “dally” winston - dally survives being shot. he spends two days in the hospital recovering, and then he sneaks out in the middle of the night, packs up his things, and leaves oklahoma.

dean winchester - dean is canon compliant up to season five. i do not acknowledge any other seasons in my portrayal of dean. dean doesn’t settle down like sam asked him to. he continues to hunt and help people as much as he can.

dolores hargreeves - dolores is human. she and five met in the apocalypse and fell in love. she has no superpowers. she worked with five during their time at the commission. she doesn’t like the hargreeves siblings, as she thinks they’re incompetent and annoying. she would much rather be enjoying retirement than saving the world, but she knows how much five’s family means to him, so she helps him even if she doesn’t like his siblings.

finnick odair - he survives and goes on to help katniss overthrow the capitol. as the rebellion dies down, he returns to district four to raise his child with annie.

five hargreeves - the umbrella academy jumps from the 60s to 2019. they arrive eight days before the end of the world and must work together to once again prevent the apocalypse. this time around, they’re successful. now their biggest challenge is learning how to get along.

Sure, I'll play:

It's Rei's worst nightmare--Shouto cries and cries and cries, and can only be soothed by Touya. Touya, who wants nothing to do with his baby brother.

Enji refuses to tell the pediatrician that Shouto will calm for Touya. As if just refusing to acknowledge it will change anything, will change what has happened. But they don't tell anyone, Enji keeps Shouto separated from his siblings, and they all pretend what they know to be true isn't so.

Rei wishes she were surprised when she finds a five-year-old Shouto has climbed into his big brother's futon in the middle of the night. In sleep, with his guard down, Touya curls around Shouto with ease. Rei isn't sure she's seen either of them look so at peace.

It's a lie, however, and she wakes Shouto as she tugs him away from his brother. He cries as he wakes up without his brother there. Her heart breaks for them.

Not long after that, Shouto stops crying, but he doesn't stop wanting Touya. He frames it as if he just wants all of his siblings. Rei is not fooled.

Neither is Enji.

She lies and tells herself over and over and over that it's normal for siblings to be attached to one another.

Not like this.

Enji gets more brutal in his training, less forgiving than ever before. He yells and he fights with the children, and he hits them all when he's angry.

By the time Shouto is eight, she can't stand to look at him without seeing his father. When he is eight, she burns him. Not on purpose--she's immediately horrified-- but the damage is done. She and Shouto are both rushed to the hospital, and Shouto sobs for Touya.

And there, for the first time, they get the diagnosis from a nurse who sees Shouto begging for his brother.

"Why are you keeping him from his mate when he's so distressed?" she asks, obviously upset on Shouto's behalf.

Enji insists Shouto has no mate. Eight-year-olds don't have mates.

The nurse goes quiet as she understands.

"I see," she says softly. "I'll let the doctor know it's littermate syndrome."

Hearing the words spoken for the first time, put out into the world, her deepest, darkest fear.

Her most terribly held secret.

Something inside shatters.

💙❤️‍🩹 : dabisho.

Shouto imprinting on Touya as a pup and being more physically attached to him for a while after the accident behind his scar. The effect/s Touya’s “death” had on him after.

More Touya content

Ask and ye shall receive. I have decided to dub this the “Keeping up with the Todoroki’s” timeline as this train of thought took off of its own accord and inspired an entire Touya x OC fic that’s currently holding my attention. So a little lovely wanted to know what happens after Touya gets home but first we’ll take a quick peek at what Rei was up to bts during the hospitalization.

After getting Touya to the hospital Rei does not go home until he’s stable. He codes twice in the night. The next evening seems more promising and doctors assure her she’ll be the first to know should there be any change.

She requests to be put in an outpatient program for her mental health fully recognizing what she did to Shouto and that she needs help but not wanting to leave her children with the help and at their father’s mercy

She goes back home. She tries to keep things as normal for the other kids as possible. Bringing them to visit their brother as soon as visitors are allowed.

The night after going off at Enji, Rei returns home with the other kids. They play in the courtyard while she prepares dinner. She feels a presence behind her and whirls around to find Enji looming in the doorway. “This is your fault. If you hadn’t been so weak, hadn’t destroyed my masterpiece….” He’s obviously drunk. He steps towards her and she meets him halfway brandishing the knife that been previously cutting vegetables. Last time she checked this was her house. She aims the point at his carotid. “Get the fuck out of my house.” He doesn’t move until she swipes at him slashing his cheek. Rei chases him from the house hurling various kitchen utensils. She decides that night over dinner that she was moving.

She drains half the money from the joint bank account and have Mitsuki and Inko help her house hunt. By the time Enji receives the divorce papers she and then kids are moving into a cozy eight bedroom.

Enji gets served the divorce papers in a board meeting at his angency. The world goes absolutely bonkers for the story. Touya’s accident, the divorce, the abuse allegations are all cause for speculation and fill every headline for weeks. Paparazzi lurk outside the hospital hungry for a pic of the family coming or going from seeing the wounded Todoroki boy. It’s all chaos.

When Touya gets out he’s happy not to have to return to scene of some his worst trauma. And he isn’t quiet about a goddamn thing.

Rei gets all the kids into therapy as soon as she’s able. The other kids take their time opening up the the child therapist not Touya. He spills everything.

When it comes to the paps Touya’s go to line is “I’m not legally allowed to comment on that piece of shit.”

When he comes back to school it is a special kind of hell. Too many nosy motherfuckers with too many questions. After while the novelty of embarrassing his father wears off and he just gets annoyed by the amount of other kids in his damn business.

He doesn’t know what he hates more the open staring at his still healing scars or the looks of pity. You (or in this case my OC) tell any and everyone off that makes him uncomfortable.

You two didn’t together right way both of you chalking the kiss up to heightened emotion and not genuine affection. (Much to Natsuo and Fuyumi’s dismay as it is so glaringly obvious how into each other you two are and it’s painful to watch you dance around each other)

One day junior year you over hear a group of girls daring their friend to ask Touya out as a joke all of them very openly talking shit about his scars. You see red but they disappear into a hall flooded with before you can crack open a can of whoop ass.

Touya comes up to you all smiles telling how he has a date that weekend expecting you to be happy for him. Instead you try to warn him it’s a set up. He accuses you of being jealous and claims that you don’t think he can pull a pretty girl cuz how fucked up the accident left him. You deny it (you actually think the scars make him hotter than sin but you’d never say that to his face). You fight until you get sick of each other and storm home separately.

Saturday comes and goes you don’t hear from him. Before you head to bed you text him: << Hey I’m sorry. I’m just trying to look out for you, not make you feel bad. << I hope your date went ok. Love you ❤️

Rei calls your mother the next morning and she hands you the phone while you’re still half sleep. “Hey honey, sorry to wake you. Touya got stood up last night, do you wanna come over maybe? I know you two fought but I know seeing you would help him feel better. Bring a bag I’ll talk your mom into letting you stay. Enji is sending a driver.” (Rei has no problem using Endeavor’s guilt to extort him)

You do as your told and hop in the bathroom for a quick shower dressing in cozy joggers and a crop tee, an extra uniform in your bag. You race down to the car only half listening to your mother’s “don’t bring home no babies” lecture. You tell the driver to stop at the nearest Daiso on the way. The clerk tried not to let any surprise on to his face as you buy a pair of tube socks and as many cheap bars of soap as you can afford.

Rei ushers you inside and up the stairs, taking your bag as you leave your shoes abandoned at the front door. She goes back to making comfort food. She knows this is a dangerous line she’s toeing and she can wholeheartedly say she doesn’t have any desire to be a grandmother yet but damnit something must be done. Especially if these shallow little broads are gonna hurt her boy intentionally.

You tip-toe into his room and find it dark except for the blue led lights around his desk and the soft glow of the galaxy mural you and his siblings painted for him a year prior. A soft folk song played quietly the chords wrapping the room in a sort of comfortable melancholy like an old worn cardigan. “Bestie?” You whisper not wanting to disturb him. “You were right.” Touya mumbles miserably his voice muffled by the pillows. You cross the room and clamber into the covers next to him. You’re immediately struck by the most delicious aroma of patchouli and mint as he shifted, downy white hair parting revealing a single puffy turquoise eye peeking at you. “I’m sorry I got pissy and yelled at you. I know you were just being protective.” He mumbled. “We both said some shit we didn’t mean it’s ok.” You held your arms out in acceptance. He took the offer readily melting in your grasp. You fight the heat rising in your face as he cuddles into you, your fingers slip into his hair massaging his scalp. He sighs at the contact. “I feel so stupid.” His voice wavers at the end and your heart breaks. “You’re not stupid, Makiko’s stupid.” You assure him giving him a squeeze. “And a bitch.” You stay tangled in each other chatting quietly about space and the deep sea and other random shit until Rei calls you for dinner.

Afterwards you attempt to help Tei clean up like you normally do but she shops you away with the other kids. You all decide to watch a movie in the home theater in the basement. (Another Enji guilt gift) After much debate you all settle on Zombieland. You try to convince Shouto to watch something else in a different room to no avail. “I’m not a baby, Y/N.” He insists. “If the twerp wants to traumatize himself let him, we’ve all done it at least once. Besides it’s a comedy hardly scary.”

You all laugh and jump through the entire thing. Talking shit left and right. Shouto dozed off as the credits rolled. Natsuo nudges Fuyumi who isn’t too far behind and scoops up the tween to carry him to bed. You settle in the guest room between Natsuo and Touya’s bedrooms. Touya inevitably sneaks in to chatter away until you both doze off curled up together.

The next morning your sitting on the couch loading bar after bar of soap into a single tube sock as Touya comes down fiddling with his tie. “The hell are you doing?” He asks perplexed. “The less yo know the better.”

You and Touya part at the lockers with a hug being in different classes. You see him off smiling until he disappears from your sight. As soon as he rounds the corner you drop your bag face determined heart filled with vengeance. You put your earrings in your jacket pocket,dump it with your bag, tie your hair up, and retrieve your soap sock. You march over to where you can here the little bitches tittering to each other. “Oi, Makiko.” Is the only warning you give before you go to work. It’s five in one but somehow you come out bloodied but triumphant. You seize Makiko by the hair and pull her to her feet just to slam her once again into a metal locker. “You will apologize to Touya. You will do it today. And if I find out you didn’t oh bitch, you’d better pray, cuz I don’t care if I’m suspended. I don’t care if I’m expelled. I will be back up here and I will fuck you up again. Do I make myself clear?” Makiko nodded against the painful grip in her hair. You ricochet her head off the locker and stomp her friend in the ribs one more time for good measure, mean mugging the few kids that lingered to watch as you head to class.

As you pass Touya’s classroom later you you peek into the partially open door and catches Makiko’s eye. She jumps in fear and quickly rounds the table in front of her to where Touya is sat dropping into a deep bow, the deepest she can muster short of dropping to the floor. You can’t hear what she says but her body language says everything.

When administration eventually finds out what happens they give all parties involved extra cleaning duties. You don’t mind, it beats suspension and Touya is kind of to stay behind and wait on you to finish. If there’s no adult supervision he’ll even lend you a hand so you can be done faster and you are eternally grateful. He always follows you home after making sure you get there safe and also getting as much time with you as he can seeing as you were grounded for a month after you mom found out.

Luckily for you though you are freed from bondage just in time for the biggest end of the year party this side of Musutafu, hosted by none other than the star player of your school’s baseball team Takahiro. And that is the fateful things change with you and Touya forever.

Alright lovelies here we go. A special shout-out to @darlingely hope this scratches that itch. And yes I did end with a cliffhanger to leave you wanting, I am cruel I know. Lol. 😜

You know the drill like, reblog, comment if you want more.

Reylo A/B/O Fanfics

Image by @m1ssjess

So this took a while 🤪

This is hardly a comprehensive list, but these are fics I have read and enjoyed and wanted to share with you!

Let's get this out if the way first: What is a/b/o?

A/b/o dynamics lend themselves to darker themes, so please read responsibly! Check out tags and warnings! If something squicks you out: don't read it!

As always, I tried to tag as many tumblrs as I could- if I missed any please let me know!

Classics

The fics that appear on every rec list- and with good reason!

Modern AU's

Fanfics set in a world we are pretty familiar with

Patient Zero by ProtonBeam | Mature | 69k | complete | Modern AU | A/B/O | Alpha x Omega | House MD vibes | Venom vibes | Doctors and patients | "mysterious" symptoms | Alaska | wolf bites | mating habits of wolves | side gingerose | side stormpilot | doctor!Ben Solo | wildlife researcher!Rey | Falling in love | banter | Ben POV | "Dr. Benjamin Solo, Head of Diagnostic Medicine at Coruscant Memorial Teaching Hospital has his fancy tickled by a case. Rey Niima, female, 26, a month's worth of woefully underwhelming hospital charts. A series of inexplicably linked symptoms and no diagnosis in sight. That’s why her file arrives on his desk. He’s the most sought after diagnostician in the country. Prick extraordinaire. Mr. Dry-humour but only at the expense of others. He likes solving complex cases for the sheer thrill of unravelling what others can’t. And he’s finally met his match. If only she could stop saying “Alpha?” Clinical Note: How did the omegaverse start? Or shall we call it the alphaverse? Where did designations come from? It all started with one Patient Zero." | 💖 I want to nominate this fic for the "classics " category because it's brilliant and is a great introduction to the omegaverse

The Knotting Shop by crossingwinter | @shmisolo | Explicit | 15k | Complete | Modern AU | A/B/O | Alpha x Omega | Strangers-to-lovers | Knitting | Ben has anxiety and knitting helps | Multi POV | "Ben realizes upon entering the shop that he had gotten the complete wrong impression from the name of it. What the fuck sort of shop calls itself The Knotting Shop if it’s not about, well, knotting? The answer, apparently, is a knitter with a sense of humor. An Omega, by the scent that seems to have landed in every colorful ball of yarn in the shop and which hits him right in the groin."

Hunting Dragons in Brisbane by bluetoast | @blue-toast17 | Explicit | 64k | Complete | Modern AU | A/B/O | Alpha x Alpha | Strangers to lovers | Single-dad!Ben Solo | Australia | Skywalker Family Dynamic | Multi POV | "Rey Johnson has lived in Australia for over a year and still isn't used to the reversed seasons, the weather, and the last thing she's looking for is a mate, she just wants a place to wait out another stormy afternoon. Ben Solo came to Brisbane six years ago to help his grandparents with the family shop - he's not looking to complicate his life any further than it currently is. It doesn't help that his gran and grandpa are always on the lookout to find their only grandchild a mate."

You'll Hear Me Howling (Outside Your Door) by HarpiaHarpyja | @thisgarbagepicker | Explicit | 71k | Complete | Modern AU | A/B/O | alpha x omega | Priest!Ben Solo | Forbidden Relationship | Roman Catholicism | Slowburn | Temptation | Canada | Angst with a HEA | Alternating POV | "Father Ben Solo has been a priest at St. Ailbe's parish for the last year. It's a position that provides the structure and control he lacked in his youth, and maybe best of all, a way to wrangle his more unsavory urges as an Alpha. Rey Stafford has just moved to Ontario, hoping to advance at work and adjust to a new life across the Atlantic as an Omega living alone. When an unusual encounter in the confessional leaves them spiraling into a constant routine of advance and retreat, they both begin to struggle against their own baser urges and the ticking time bomb of years of repression." | 💖

Alternate Modern AU

Usually a modern setting but, Designation plays a much larger role in society's structure and/or history

Historical AU's

Fics set in a time period other than modern day

Come Again? By slipgoingunder (need an ao3 account to read) | Explicit | 8k | complete | 1950s AU | A/B/O | alpha x omega | phone sex | guided masturbation | eavesdropping | Rey POV | "1959. Serious single gal Rey Johnson is stuck sharing a three-way telephone line that’s constantly tied up by Beta playboy Poe Dameron. Her curiosity is piqued when she “accidentally” overhears Mr. Dameron’s explicit conversations with his many paramours. But her breathless eavesdropping doesn’t go unnoticed by the third member of their party line: mysterious, deep-voiced Alpha, Mr. Solo."

an unexpected alliance by antematter (need an ao3 account to read) | Explicit | 19k | complete | Regency AU | A/B/O | alpha x omega | Accidental Mating | Misunderstandings/miscommunications | Rey POV | Miss Niima and Captain Ren have an illicit dalliance at a ball which results in an accidental mating -- Captain Ren does the respectable thing and proposes marriage. Miss Niima is plagued with guilt at forcing his hand. They both are idiots and regency sex education is severely lacking! | 💖 now THIS is regency a/b/o in all its glorious smutty goodness! 🤤

Delayed Metamorphosis by LyricalRiot | Explicit | 31k | Complete | Victorian AU | A/B/O | Beta x Omega | Alpha x Omega | Strangers to lovers | Doctor/Patient dynamic | Hysteria | Late presentation | Ben POV | "Doctor Benjamin Solo is the junior partner in an omega health practice, where they specialize in the treatment of omega hysteria. Ever the professional, as well as a confirmed Beta, Ben is rigidly immune to the nature of his work and the condition of his patients — until one day, when a young omega girl walks through the door. Treating her will change everything about Doctor Solo, including who he thought he was."

Works In Progress

For You, My Ruin by LyricalRiot | Explicit | 75k | WIP- last updated 2021-05-09 | Regency AU | Bridgerton AU | A/B/O | Alpha x Omega | Fake Relationship | Multi POV | "Two rumors have spread through the high society of the city of Theed. The first: Lord Chester Bacca has brought home a mysterious young woman by the last name of Kenobi to sponsor her debut into society. And the second: Bennet Skywalker-Solo, Marquess of Organa, has at last come home. With the gossipy writings of an unknown author fanning the flames of these rumors, the ambitious parents of the town are eager to know how these two arrivals will affect the prospects of their eligible children for this year's Mating Season."

Alpha & Omega: New Mating and Coupling Dynamics by ProtonBeam | Explicit | 87k | WIP- last update: 2021-03-21 | Modern AU | A/B/O | Alpha x Omega | House MD vibes | Venom vibes | Doctors and patients | Alaska | Budding Relationship | doctor!Ben Solo | wildlife researcher!Rey | Ben POV | The Sequel to Patient Zero, "What happens when you wake up and find yourself mated? Dr. Ben Solo's new mate is everything he never knew he needed. She's fierce, stubborn, and witty. Her file was dropped off on his desk merely a week ago. Now that he's unravelled the mystery of her condition and found himself a newly presented Alpha ... she's going into her first heat. Come along on Dr. Solo's first heat/rut adventure to Anchorage. Watch him fumble. Watch him knot. Watch him make an adorkable ass of himself." | 💖 it's like 60k of heat smut 🤤

Mating Systems, Reproductive Success, and Sexual Selection in Secretive Species: A Case Study of the Wild Ahch-To Omega by NewerConstellations | @newer-fear | Explicit | 45k | WIP - Last update: 2020-02-22 | Modern AU | A/B/O | Beta x Omega | Alpha x Omega | Beta!Ben Solo | Scientist!Ben Solo | Feral Omega!Rey | Scientific Research | Multi POV | "For generations, Omegas have adapted to civilized environments, permanently impacting the expression of their DNA and pheromones. When a group of lost fisherman discovered an isolated population of feral Omegas on the remote island of Ahch-To, it offered a unique and precious opportunity to document their behavior in the wild. Research biologist Dr. Benjamin Solo spent a year living amongst the herd of Ahch-To Omegas and recorded his experiences, particularly his interactions with the Omega subject known as “Rey.” These are his findings." | 💖 I fucking love this fic. Steamy AF 🥵🤤😘👌

Some Kind of Trouble by HopelesslyReylo | Explicit | 23k | WIP- Last updated 2020-06-15 | Modern AU | A/B/O | Alpha x Omega | Enemies(?) to lovers | Rey POV | "Ben Solo was the kind of trouble that could break your heart. Rey was sure of it. Not that she had any experience with Ben Solos personal brand of trouble —but damn, how she wanted that experience— No, Rey had been lusting after him for months, and he kept her at a safe distance. She had wanted him the first time they met; and that was before she even got a whiff of his scent. So really this whole situation shouldn’t be that big of a surprise. Or: Going into heat, in the middle of the grocery store wasn’t Reys idea of a good time. Things get even more complicated when Ben offers to see her through her heat."

On the darker side...

Fics that may contain triggering content. READ THE TAGS!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Alpha's Conquest by Immortalpen | Explicit | 80k | Complete | Apocalyptic AU | Canonverse-ish (think star wars without lightsabers) | A/B/O | Alpha x Omega | Enemies to lovers | terrorist!Kylo Ren | War | Angst | Action/Drama | Tragic backstory | Bendemption | HEA | Rey POV | Rape/sexual assault (multiple), Death: terrorism/war casualties, executions | "In a dystopian world, far far away, a war between designations has left alpha's medicated and conditioned out of their instincts, and omegas fading out of existence. An escaped convict discovers a rare omega, hidden in plain sight, and he will not rest, until she is his." | 💖 This fic is fucking brilliant! It's been a while since I've read a fic that has been this engrossing! I couldnt stop reading and had to force myself to get some sleep. The author took an original premise, weaved in canon, and then gave it an ending that was satisfying to both canon and the unique world they created! (Way better than that TROS garbage). With fantastic characterization (especially Rey!) And dynamic, engaging prose and storytelling! Brilliant worldbuilding and setting.

Happy Reading!

White Hair, Scarred Heart

Something exceedingly fascinating to me from recent MHA chapters is Dabi’s physical development- specifically his hair.

At the start of his appearance, he was dark haired, dyed as we now know. It was from that and his physical resemblance we got the very first theories that he was related to Shouto and the Todorokis even if it wasn’t truly hinted at for some time.

With his dark hair and countenance, Touya undoubtedly molded his Dabi persona off of his long training sessions with Endeavor- essentially, molding himself into what could be called a Villain Endeavor. He maintains many of the same characteristics as his father, that he experienced first hand through his abuse as a child.

Single handed determination, uncaring of anyone else’s perspective but his own. Even his flames, as shown in the anime, match the colour of Enji’s when he goes to his strongest at Hosu to eliminate a Nomu. They do not take prisoners and they do not show mercy- Enji and Touya, at the end of the day, show complete and utter mercy.

And, to be honest, dying his hair dark like his father’s very much shows a complicated side of Touya’s character. One he most definitely doesn’t want to acknowledge.

That he still wants his father’s attention, even a little.

This was Dabi’s true beginning. Before the abuse got to its worst, before Touya burned himself and before everything went to hell. This is where it started.

The dark hair of the Todoroki family symbolizes Endeavour’s hold on them- and the white Rei’s influence. As long as Touya had his father’s dark hair and his flames, he was taught- trained to surpass his father. In a way, he was the spitting image of his father’s resolve to surpass All Might in a more healthy fashion.

But as Touya reached his limit, over and over, and succumbed over and over to the strain of living up to his father’s expectations...

His hair turned white from his own Quirk. Something that he had no control over, but which undoubtedly caused Rei’s infleunce to exert itself over his Quirk’s control. And once that happened...

Touya couldn’t pretend or fool himself that he was his father’s golden child anymore. His hair turning white to reflect his mother- the woman who was abused by Enji verbally and physically as we see in Shouto’s flashbacks- symbolizes the end of Touya’s dream of living up to Enji’s expectations... and crumbling under the weight.

Look at this.

This is a child. Bags under his eyes, crying for his father to show him unconditional support for once in his life... tearing at his hair as if to say “this is me! It doesn’t change anything!” But it did to Enji, who decided Touya was just dead weight and could no longer be the trophy piece the man wanted.

Touya, up to 290, had his hair dark as a reminder of his goal- to completely destroy the man who had caused him so much trauma and abused him. He hid his natural white hair because it stands as a stark reminder that his father did not want him anymore once it changed completely. He is a criminal, that has to be accepted and must pay for the horrible things he has done- but Touya has to be sympathized with, if only for this.

It’s important to note, then, that after 290 when he washes away ‘Endeavour’ from his hair, that he keeps his natural white hair despite having time to dye it back.

Touya has nothing to hide anymore. No reason to hide who he is. Not when he’s torn down his father’s reputation, when he’s getting what he’s been working toward for years. He has no reason to hide himself when it’s far more advantageous that he exposes every single thing here and now, going forward.

It’s deliberate that Touya’s hair staying white coincides with Rei confronting Enji in his hospital room. She wants to talk about her son, about Touya, and to hold Enji accountable for what he has done.

Touya, in the end, is still that child tearing at his own hair in self-loathing for his father not affording him the basic right of loving him as his son. He is still the child that looked up to his father and wanted to be just like him.

Touya’s hair is white... because he has not changed from that day when his world came apart. And it’s so very important it stays white, because it shows that under the persona of Dabi- the arsonist, terrorist, criminal, murderer- that Touya still lives.

And because he lives... he can be saved from himself.

Victor Creel Theories

(also includes ST movie DNA series: Star Wars)

Victor Creel is described as "a disturbed and intimidating man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder in the 1950s." We know he will be institutionalized at Penthurst mental hospital, where Peter Ballard works, based on leaked on set pics.

There a few possibilities regarding his character:

He could be a former test subject with some kind of powers and a connection to the upside down (which would also follow the even/odd season pattern of a main character being directly involved with the upside down creatures) I think it's highly likely that Victor Creel will be involved with the mystery/danger in Hawkins in some way, and have a connection to the upside down. He could also be disturbed on top of this, and he could be involved in Eleven's storyline this season.

That he is not a test subject and is ONLY mentally disturbed.

He may be related to one of the already established characters. Most likely Joyce, and maybe Terry but it's a stretch.

Before I go any further into that last possibility, I just want to preface that this idea of an "evil father/grandfather with powers" could be a purposeful Star Wars parallel. The Duffer brothers have already paralleled and used Star Wars references a few times in the show:

In Star Wars, Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father, and Palpatine is Rey's grandfather (aka the literal worst guy in the universe). A common theme in ST is abusive/bad fathers - that post here. Interesting...

Palpatine is also Anakin Skywalker's father, so Luke and Leia are both the grandkids of Palpatine as well as Rey is, but it's unclear if they are just force midichlorian related or actually dna related as well but I won't get into that here!

Luke and Rey are both force sensitive (have powers), so are Darth Vader and Palpatine; their descendants (kid/grandkid) have powers, and so do they (father/grandfather) The descendants use their powers for good, while the ancestors use their power for evil. Who has powers in ST? Eleven and Will - and they both already have this idea of abusive/bad/evil fathers: Will has an abusive father Lonnie, and Eleven has an abusive father figure Dr. Brenner "Papa".

So... Victor Creel being the evil/bad grandfather to either Eleven or Will and the evil/bad father to Joyce or Terry, would make a FULL Star Wars parallel to people who are morally good and have powers (Will and El - Luke and Rey), discovering they are the descendant of an evil male figure who also has powers (Victor Creel - Darth Vader and Palpatine)

If Victor Creel turns out to be the father of anyone in the show my bets are it's either Joyce Byers or maybeee Terry Ives.

If he was a test subject, its likely he went "crazy" with some of his powers and the government couldn't cover it up so they declare him mentally insane to get him committed, and he probably goes insane being locked away as well. Personally, I think he may be 001 or an early test subject, when they were still working out the kinks of the program, and I think he does have a big connection to the upside down.

The Duffer Brother's on s4: "In Hawkins a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything"....

Now let's get into the possibilities for Creel's storyline/who he could be related to (split into 3 parts).

Part 1: Creel could be Joyce's father

Based on Victor Creel's description as "disturbed" and that he is "in a psychiatric hospital", it could connect him to Joyce's bloodline.

There are several comments in the show hinting to this idea of mental instability in Joyce's family:

s1 ep.5: When Lonnie comes to visit in s1 after Will goes missing, Joyce says to Lonnie "No, don't look at me like that, like how everyone is looking at me, like I'm out of my damn mind" He responds saying "I think you need to consider the possibility that this is all in your head. Remember your Aunt Darlene?" Joyce quickly replies, "No, this is not that."

That conversation, although quick, is very telling. Lonnie is implying that Joyce had an aunt who was mentally unstable - and Joyce clearly knows about her aunt being unstable because she responds to his comment by saying what's she's experiencing is not that (the mental instability of her aunt)

s2 ep.2: Joyce says to Bob, "this is not a normal family", when he suggest moving out of Hawkins.

I used to think Joyce was always was referring to the whole 'my son got stuck in an alternate dimension with supernatural monsters and is now traumatized, and we were sworn to secrecy by the government' thing but maybe she is also referring to her biological family.

s1 ep.2: When they are searching for Will, one of the other police officers, says "Joyce is one step from the edge" and the other officer responds "She has been several steps for quite a while now".

If Joyce is related to Victor Creel biologically, and he did also happen to be a test subject, has powers, or has some other relation to the upside down, this could possibly have contributed to whatever kind of abilities Will has, because he would be a descendant of Creel. But Joyce does not seem to have any powers and neither does Jonathan. If they were related to Creel, it's odd that they both didn't get powers, but Will did. I've always thought Will was born with his powers, like El.

We know almost nothing about Joyce's past, it's never discussed in the slightest in the show, which I feel like is purposeful. We don't know Joyce's maiden name; she doesn't change it back after she and Lonnie divorce. Maybe the Duffers are saving Joyce's backstory for s4 (and possibly s5), like I think they are doing with Will and El's connection. Will, El, Hopper, and Joyce were pictured in a series of 4 tweets posted by the stranger writers, hinting to the main 4 storylines for season 4. My analyzation of this tweet here.

I think it's possible that Joyce's storyline this season could also have to do with her past- not just her searching for Hopper- but also more personal information about her. Perhaps we will see flashbacks of younger Joyce and maybe learn about her biological relatives.

Noah also said this would be the darkest season for Will, so this idea of being the grandkid of someone evil or disturbed could fit into that.

Part 2: Creel could be Terry's father/Eleven's grandfather

The only other person I could see potentially having a biological; relation to Victor Creel could be Terry Ives and Eleven, (because it would complete the Star Wars parallel mentioned earlier) but it's a stretch for several reasons, the main one being that Terry and Becky's father Bill Ives, died in a car crash (year unknown).

So for Victor Creel to be Terry's father that either has to be:

Her adoptive father OR

Her mother cheated and led Mr. Ives to believe Terry was his kid but her father is really Victor Creel, and Becky is actually Bill Ives son (which would explain why Becky has no powers)

Right of the bat it's interesting Terry's father's name is Bill. Bill is a nickname for William (Will Byers full name is William), and Billy's a nickname also for William... Hmmm....

Immediately after El is born, Terry is adamant that Brenner stole her child to use as a weapon to fight the commies BECAUSE SHE HAD SPECIAL ABILITIES - and she's completely right about everything. How does Terry know El had powers immediately after she was born? Because she knows she has developed some kind of special abilities from the experiments as well. When El goes to visit her mother in s2, THE LIGHTS FLICKER, just like they do when the upside down is near, but it's not Eleven controlling it. Her Aunt Becky says it's just the wiring, and Eleven responds: "IT'S MAMA. She wants to talk." And then we see Terry's NOSE BLEED, just like El's does when she uses her powers.

Quick side note about El's biological father is Andrew Rich: (It's revealed in the canon novel Suspicious Minds that Andrew Rich is El's father) He was a college student who got expelled from school due to protesting the Nixon address, making him eligible to be drafted in the Vietnam war, and he died in battle. Terry was involved in the Project MKUltra experiments at Hawkins National Laboratory in College, under the direction of Dr. Martin Brenner, but didn't know she was pregnant at the time. Andrew never even knew Terry was pregnant, meaning she was extremely early on in her pregancy at the time he was sent away, not even Terry was aware yet. It's also stated in this book that BRENNER HAD A HAND IN GETTING ANDREW EXPELLED SO HE COULD SEND ANDREW AWAY. The novel states that Brenner has Andrew drafted because he wants to SCARE Terry, to show her how much power he has over her life. There's definitely some history between Terry and Brenner that we don't know about yet.

If Victor Creel is in fact Joyce's father it's interesting that the powers seem to have skipped a generation with Joyce, and also one kid with the Byers, but if Victor Creel is Terry's father, no generations were skipped in passing down powers. ANYWAYS, this is all just theories and speculation since we have no actual concrete reasons to believe he will be related to Joyce or Terry.

Part 3: The possibility that Creel could be involved in Eleven's storyline this season does not rely on them being biologically related.

**One of the filming locations for this season is the Claremont House, which is RUMORED to be Creel's house and also "Vecna's lair" the new monster for s4 (unconfirmed) This is the house the Hawkins group goes into in the ST4 sneak peek, where they see the grandfather clock striking midnight. If that's true, there's a connection between Creel and the upside down and having powers, which could connect Creel to Eleven. The Duffers: "In Hawkins a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything". This thing "that connects everything", could be Creel's storyline (his possible connection to the lab/upside down/person in the show), because Creel's storyline also spans all the way back to the 1950's and before that, so there's our "long buried" part most likely.

Robert Englund recently revealed in *an interview* that his character Victor Creel gouges his eyes out, making him unable to see. Englund also mentions what it's like working with Millie Bobby Brown and talks about the first time her met her, he doesn't mention any other cast members in detail like he does Millie.

He's clearly working closely with Millie's character Eleven.

But why? I think Creel could be involved with Eleven getting her powers back, and her reliving her past. Once the government baddies realize El has no powers, they're gonna want them back. If Creel was in fact a test subject, maybe there is some kind of connection between them, Such as Eleven revisiting what happened to her in her past and how that could relate to her getting her powers back.

Another thought I had was that perhaps the gruesome murder he committed is somehow related to something that ends up impacting in Eleven's life.

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

Whatever Victor Creel's storyline is, it will be an important one, and it will carry somewhat into s5, since he will be a returning character. He is not signed as a series regular, but as a recurring character, which means we don't really know to what capacity he will be in s5. It could be flashbacks mostly, or he could have just as big or small of a role.

Source: indie wire

That detail about eyes being gouged out reminds me of fear street 1666 when the townsmen who was sacrificed to the devil becomes possessed and gouges the kids eyes out. Leigh Janick, director of fear street, is married to Ross Duffer. They both direct and make horror/sci-fi themed series about kids in a small town set in the 80's, who fight supernatural evil with a heavy undertone of queer themes, that are even filmed in a lot of the same locations (the mall, the town streets, etc.) I'm not saying it's the same thing, it definitely won't be. But there's so many similarities between ST and Fear Street, I thought I would mention this as another.

"Why did you leave mommy?" He cries out once more, stomping his feet before taking a step back as he sends a glare towards the man kneeling before him through his tears. "Why didn't you want Hiro and me? Was it because I was a bad baby?"

Leaving the twins with your mother, the five of you (you, Asuma, Bokuto, Reiji and Shizuma), left the room to have a conversation about what had come to light.

The encounter the twins had with their father without anyone realizing it. Not even Shizuma who had been present at every other training session, where Atsumu was in attendance as well, aside from the recent one where Hiro had collapsed. He had the knowledge of their father's name being Atsumu, but he just shrugged it off, thinking it was a mere coincidence and the man that the twins, Hiro, especially, had grown close to, was just simply Bokuto's teammate, and not their actual father. He, of course, felt somewhat, responsible, because he hadn't realized it sooner. Especially since he had met their father's brother at least twice before the twins had pointed out the obvious similar features of their friend to the man you had reached out to.

"Are we seriously going to ignore the fact that they met their father?"

Reiji smacks Asuma on the head with a frown, "Calm down, idiot. We get it, you didn't have to have such an outburst like that."

"I'm disappointed in you, Asuma." Shizuma sighs sadly with a shake of his head, "And in front of the children, you better pray that Hiko doesn't start using such foul language."

Asuma waves his hand dismissively before rubbing the sore spot on the back of his head with his palm to soothe the ache, "I get smacked twice."

"Wait, so let me get this right," Bokuto starts, still confused with what has gone down, "Atsumu is their father? And they don't know about it?"

"Yeah," Osamu answers for you, "nor does Atsumu, so you better keep this a secret Bo. Don't go around telling this to the others."

Bokuto raises his hands in defence, "I won't. This is a serious matter, it's not my place."

"Thank you, Bo…" you mumble, giving him a sad smile, "I'm sorry you've been dragged into this."

"So," Reiji starts, "What are you going to do now? Since none of us, not even Osamu is a match—"

You cut your friend off, "I know, Rei. I know what needs to be done."

Panic.

That was the emotion coursing through your veins as you fidgeted in your seat. You didn't want to imagine the worst case scenario, but putting the puzzle pieces together, it made sense that the outcome you were imagining will soon become a reality.

You hadn't wanted to agree to Atsuhiko's demands of spending the day with Bokuto all of a sudden, since it was peculiar to you that he wanted to spend his day away from his brother but you also wanted to have him by your side during the day as he usually would stay with Reiji during the night since he wasn't able to stay in the hospital to look after his brother with you and your mother. But your mother had persuaded you that it was best that Atsuhiko left the suffocating white walls of the hospital to at least live his childhood. She was right, the hospital was no place for a kid. And she even pointed out that probably seeing his brother was only upsetting him more.

So you gave in, allowing Bokuto to take Atsuhiko wherever he wanted for the day to help cheer up the little boy whose mood you had noticed drastically dropped before he demanded to leave the hospital with his Uncle Bo. You were clueless, to say the least. Until you received a text from the volleyball player.

You felt uneasy when Atsuhiko left, and you really didn't know why there was this nagging sensation growing in the back of your head. It wasn't as if you didn't trust Bokuto, but something was bothering you. It wasn't until you started questioning everyone in the room as to why Bokuto would even bring Atsuhiko to the sports complex after you had received the text. A part of you wanted to think positive, not wanting to doubt Bokuto's actions. He wasn't going to tell Atsumu was he? Nor did Atsuhiko actually know. Well, that is, until Atsuhiro shared vital information that his brother left the room earlier when the rest of you decided to talk.

It could only mean one thing.

Atsuhiko decided it was the best time to use his new irritating habit, eavesdropping. You were furious, to say the least. At your mother, who you had asked to watch over the two while the other adults went out to talk. Yet, she didn't deny her actions and it made you even furious. Somehow, you knew this was her form of meddling.

You knew your mother wanted it to happen. For Atsuhiko to eavesdrop, to know everything that he shouldn't at the time. You more so, wanted to strangle her. For such a mischievous act, and for allowing a six year old to leave the room to venture out in the large hospital where he could have easily gotten lost.

Now there you were, fidgeting nervously in the front seat of Reiji's car. A mixture of emotions coursing through your veins and a part of you realizes, you had never been so stressed like this before.

"Hey," you hear Osamu mumble behind you from the passenger seat, placing a hand on your shoulder to give it a gentle squeeze, "calm down, I'm sure it's not what you're thinking."

You shake your head at him, keeping your gaze locked ahead at the sight of the sports complex coming into view, "You don't know my son. He may be six years old, but—"

"Let's say he does know Atsumu is his father," Reiji cuts you off, keeping his gaze on the road as he maneuvers the vehicle into the complex's parking space, easily finding an empty parking slot near the complex's entrance, "Would it be so bad?"

"Yes—No. I don't know," you let out a sigh as you unbuckle your seatbelt, "I just didn't want him to find out that way. He must be so upset." The three of you climbed out of the vehicle and approached the large building, your heart beating rapidly in your chest the closer you got to their whereabouts. This isn't how you imagine meeting Atsumu again after six years. "I just hope Atsuhiko doesn't do anything that might—"

"Why didn't you want us?"

The voice of your son snaps your attention, eyes widening and heart clenching at the pain evident in his voice as he spoke those words you'd never would have thought would escape from your own son's lips. You couldn't seem to bring your legs to move, your eyes landing on your little boy and Atsumu in the middle of the court. No. This wasn't happening.

"What?" Atsumu asks, completely bewildered at the little boy's sudden outburst. "What are you talking about bu—"

Atsumu frowns as he listens, not really understanding what the little boy rambled about. "I don't know what you mean, buddy. I don't have kids."

"You do!" He cries, the atmosphere growing thick as the occupants of the complex could only watch with curiosity and worry. "You le—left mommy! You didn't want us! You don't want us! Why?" His sobs growing louder, his words becoming incoherent due to his distress. He croaks between sobs and sniffles, "'m good! Good baby…" he grumbles.

Atsumu was speechless, he didn't know what was happening. Why did Atsuhiko think he was his father? Sure, Atsumu had his fair share of women but he was always careful, especially due to his career. He couldn't possibly afford to give it up for a family. At least not right now.

He's left there, guilt and sadness radiating off of him, only being able to watch the little boy break down in tears as his speech becomes incoherent due to the emotional distress. He lets his orbs scan the little boy's features, sure—he's spent a lot of time with the little boy and he was quite fond of him, especially his twin brother, Atsuhiro, but he never really took the time to study their features, since it never really mattered to him. Well, that is, until now.

Could he have fathered a child without realizing it? Or in this case, twins? That couldn't be possible, he had always been careful. If that were true, wouldn't their mother have come barging back in his life demanding financial support from his side since the women he had been with only wanted him for popularity and even the wealth he had received since he had gotten a stable income since joining a professional team?

However, until today, when Atsuhiko claimed him as his father, spouting information he didn't know whether to believe or not, staring at the crying child before him, sure—there were similarities here and there, but that still couldn't be true. This was a kid! How could a six year—

Six years old.

"Wait," the voice in his head screams as realization crashes down on him like a tsunami wave in the raging seas during a heavy storm. "No, it can't—"

"Atsuhiko."

The little boy stiffens from hearing your voice while Atsumu furrows his brows in confusion, somehow recognizing your voice. You stay rooted to your spot as you await for Atsumu to turn his attention over to you. It took him a while, but he meets your gaze eventually.

He examines your features thoroughly, blinking ever so often to check if what he was seeing was reality. He wasn't seeing a ghost, was he? A second later his eyes widen and he feels a surge of emotions wash over him. Anger. Love. Pain. Remorse. What made it worse is that he notices his twin brother standing behind you and his anger amplifies and he feels betrayed. What the fuck is going on?

You avert your gaze, your orbs landing on your son's mop of hair but you were afraid. Afraid to approach and be at such a close distance to the man that was practically radiating anger towards your direction. So once more, you try to capture your son's attention.

"Atsuhiko," you call out, your voice croaking from the raw emotions, "Come here, baby. Let's go home."

The little boy lets out an angry cry, his glare still on the man before him as he speaks between sobs. Ignoring his mother, he meets Atsumu's gaze with his pleading ones, tears still running freely down his now tear-soaked cheeks as he cries out once more, his tone frustrated from the lack of explanation, "Why!"

Atsumu retracts the glare he was sending your way, returning his gaze back to the little boy before him. Before he could reach out, you had suddenly found your way behind Atsuhiko to pull him away from Atsumu, keeping your gaze on only your son, wanting to avoid the man you've been dreading to see again. "Hiko, it's time to go."

The little boy feels dejected from not hearing any answers from Atsumu, tearing his gaze away to look down at his feet, his shoulders slumping and you feel your heart break. This isn't how you wanted your sons to know about their father, nor the other way around. Is this what hell felt like? The weight that had been resting on your shoulders the past six years only seemed to intensify at this very moment, the air becoming suffocating. You really wanted to leave.

As you were about to leave with your hands resting on Hiro's shoulders in comfort, Atsuhiko squirms himself away from you, returning to his previous position to face the man he's come to know as his father, tears still escaping the corners of his eyes. "W—"

"Hiko, sto—"

Atsumu interrupts the both of you this time, his eyes meeting yours and it sends a shiver down your spine from the intensity of his gaze, "I didn't know." The little boy's lower lip quivers as he finally hears him speak. Atsumu shifts his gaze to the little boy looking at him in confusion, "I didn't know about you or Atsuhiro, your mother never told me."

The air in your lungs gets knocked out from his words and the guilt finally overwhelms you, the muscles in your shoulders growing tense. Before you could react and grab Atsuhiko to retreat, your little boy turns to you. Was it possible for a child to feel such betrayal for his age? The look in his face was enough for you to crack, wanting nothing more than to wrap your arms around him and cry out apologies.

"I hate you!" He cries out before tearing his gaze away from you, rushing out of the complex as your heart shatters completely. Reiji immediately rushing after Atsuhiko and you were about to do the same if it were not for Atsumu's grip around your wrist.

“What the fuck is going on?” you hear his voice, both anger and pain laced in his tone, “Tell me, right now.”

The grip around your wrist tightens slightly and from the corner of your eye, you notice Osamu ready to help you escape the situation but you shoot it down with a shake of your head, something about the other twin’s actions oddly familiar. Prying your hand away from his grip, wincing slightly from the pressure of his fingers. “I’m sorry…” you trail off in a mumble as you avoid looking back to meet his desperate pleading gaze, slowly walking off towards the exit where your son had rushed out moments ago, “but my son is more important than this. Excuse me.”

There was always something captivating about you that often drifted Atsumu's thoughts over to the memories of you that he treasured and at the same time, that haunted him to no end. To him, it was beautiful. Whether it was your smile or how you looked after him, it was comforting.

It was warm.

Those memories seemed to be more frequent the past couple of days since Akari had reached out to him, the ‘biggest gossip that you’ll ever want to hear!’ according to his old high school flame. Or rather, his two days high school flame. She was quick to send a picture of you back home and he didn’t want to believe it at first, but the next photo she had took when she followed you discreetly, was of you standing in front of your old home, looking at his family home sending chills through his spine. He, of course, still didn’t want to believe it due to Akari’s horrendous photography skills. The photo itself wasn’t clear enough for him if it was really you, despite something in the back of his head telling him it really was.

Atsumu didn’t know what to feel, it’s been years but somehow, you still had an impact on him. He was irritated, he hated being this confused. It’s been years since he had seen you, since you had left him without a goodbye. However, despite the mixture of pain in his feelings, he had instantly dropped everything that he was doing that day and rushed back home to Hyōgo, not really caring what he was getting himself into or what the outcome may be when the two of you see each other once again. Was he going to confront you? Demand answers he had been yearning to know of since your disappearance? Or, was it just because he missed you and to apologize for his appalling and ridiculous behaviour?

He knows where he went wrong, knows he was the one at fault without his brother pointing it out to him but he was too much of a prideful bastard to admit it. Prideful? Maybe more like a coward. He was a coward. He remembers the last day he saw you, the last time he saw your face. It was sewed in his memories, haunting him. He wanted to push Akari off of him that day, wanted to apologize for what he did but unfortunately, he didn’t. The sight of your torn broken features screaming at him in his mind for his stupidity. The last smile you gave him, mocked him in not only his dreams but in moments during the day where his mind drifted off to thoughts of you. It was an irritating occurrence that repeated at least twice a day. He did that to you.

Stupidity.

His actions tortured him to no end, this made him want to focus more on his training. Volleyball, whether it were to be fun at times or stressful, it was now the only thing he can call his safe haven. It was the only thing that kept him sane. It wasn't you, though.

However, despite the conflicting feelings, he didn’t need to think twice and rushed back home—only to be disappointed at the fact that no one was home. You were once again, gone. And it frustrated him even more to be left without a single clue or trace of where you could possibly be.

Atsumu realized his love for you, a little too late. He had been preoccupied with his new arm candy that he had not realized your absence until Osamu had pointed it out to him.

It wasn't as if he had ignored you for his new girlfriend, to him, he was simply doing the both of you a favor. The two of you had entered uncharted waters during the start of your second years and he wasn't going to lie, he loved it. To Atsumu, it was bliss. You gave him peace. You were the warmth that he had always yearned for. But the fear of something going wrong nagged him to no end. He hadn't realized it then, but he soon figured out he was the reason that his fears had came true.

During his second year, he found himself struggling. Between his studies and volleyball training, he lost track of the times he often forgot to take care of himself. It was stressful. He often lashed out, at his family and friends—you, especially. He often released his built up anger to you because you tried your hardest to be there for him, to remind him of the reality that he needed to face. He was pushing himself to the brink of exhaustion and if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been able to bounce back every now and then.

He had taken you for granted, he realized. To Atsumu, it wasn't as if he was using you. No, it didn't seem like it to him.

He knows deep down inside, that he genuinely cared for you. He remembers every detail of the times the two of you shared such intimacy. He remembers how your lips would feel against his own or his skin, sometimes, due to his emotions heightened from everything, it was as if he could still feel your lips lingering against his skin. He often wondered if he had become delusional from the moment he realized of your absence. Back then, he thought it was possible since the person who became his rock was no longer there to keep him in check.

He felt stupid, but at the same time, he grew angry at you for leaving him. And as years passed by, your absence only intensified his anger, making him hate you even more. Or at least he thought he did. He did rush back to his hometown thinking he was able to see you again. At first he thought the Gods were against him, that this was his punishment for treating you badly but at the sight of you before him now, he didn’t know what to feel or think.

Was he relieved to see you alive? Angry that you had the audacity to show yourself? And why the fuck were you with his brother? Did Osamu know of your whereabouts this whole time and was just lying to his face? More importantly, why was some kid asking such questions? Could he actually be the father of the twins he had grown fond of?

Was he the father to your kids?

However, his anger had won him over. He was angry for your disappearance, even more so for the questions you left unanswered. He was done feeling like this. Why was he being left out in the dark? Did he not deserve to know if he was actually a father? How was this any fair to him? And even if he was the father, how could you lie to the kids about him?

“...but my son is more important than this. Excuse me.”

No, fuck that. His emotions taking over his actions, he needed those answers now. He followed you almost instantly, pushing his brother off of him who had tried to stop him from following your retreating form. He had even ignored the protests coming from various teammates. No one could stop him, his anger making him desperate.

Before you could exit the complex completely, he stops you in the main lobby, pulling you by the elbow to face him once more, the sight of fear evident in your features was enough for him to retract his grip but he made no indication that he was willing to drop his actions, he made it perfectly clear that he wasn’t going to let you go unless you answered his questions.

“Don’t you think I deserve to have my questions answered?” he demands, his voice loud yet, you could almost hear his voice cracking. No, you definitely weren’t imagining it.

You let out a sigh, taking a step back from his proximity. “It’s not that you don’t deserve answers, Atsumu. It’s just that right now, Atsuhiko’s feelings matter mo–”

“And what about my feelings?” he snaps, the crack in his voice growing more evident and you couldn’t help but let a lump form in the back of your throat, “What about me, huh? Have you ever stopped to think these past six years about my feelings? Had I not mattered to you at all? Was everything we’ve shared meant nothing to you?”

What was he going on about? His feelings? What about yours? You wanted nothing more than to snap back, sensing your own anger growing within you from the hurtful words that left his lips. You wanted to scream at him, tell him how all you ever did back then was think of his feelings. If he wanted answers, did he even stop to consider your yearning for answers yourself?

However, before you could let your emotions get the best of you, you were reminded of your little boy who had been crying his heart out. The memory of Atsuhiko’s painful words, pulling you back into reality.

“Like I said,” Spinning around to face the exit of the complex once more, you repeat your earlier words, “Atsuhiko’s feelings matter more right now. I have to go.”

The anger in Atsumu seemed to intensify at how you brushed him off, making him snap, the words spilling out of his mouth before he could stop them. “Those kids probably aren’t even mine. You should really stop lying to those poor kids about their fa–”

Smack.

Before he could finish his sentence, you had already spun around and sent your hand flying across his cheek, the force sending your palm into a stinging sensation as the impact echoed throughout the walls of the deserted main lobby. The sight of his shock features were not enough to satisfy you for his accusations, you wanted to give him a piece of your mind. How dare he?

“Are you implying I’m some sort of slag?” you croak, feeling your chest tighten. You scoff from his lack of reply, shaking your head at him in disbelief. You fight back the urge to let the tears fall, not wanting to show any vulnerability as you meet his gaze with your own, a mixture of anger and sadness in your orbs. “Let’s get one thing straight, Atsumu.” you start, curling your fingers into fists by your sides, hoping it would give you some sort of control to your emotions that wanted to burst, “You were the only man I’ve ever been with. The only man that I’ve ever wanted. The only man I’ve ever loved. It’s always been you.”

He stares at you, dumbfounded by your words but as he tries to find the words to reply, you didn’t wait for them. You simply spun around and left with him watching your retreating form.

One word repeating in his mind like a broken record.

Loved.
