#kafka my fucking beloved. oh my god. what a woman

[ghastigiggles]

Uhhh maybe for a prompt we could have ler!kafka with someone from the Astral Express? I'm sure she'd love lazily tormenting a hapless trailblazer that got caught in her webs

Since anon didn't provide a quote, I chose the one I was most excited for but nobody sen't in </3 "Now, don't laugh." Mischievious Prompts [Still Open]

“What are we looking at?”

Stelle jolted with a soft hiss, startled by the familiar voice at her ear and warm pressure against her back. She glanced over her shoulder just briefly to take in Kafka, who tilted her head in a mockery of curiosity. The Trailblazer huffed, keeping her voice to a whisper.

“... What are you doing here?”

“I wasn’t needed elsewhere, so I thought I’d check in on my favourite Nameless. Espionage, now, is it?”

Stelle rolled her eyes, leaning against the wall and peering around the corner. The man she’d been tasked with following was occupying himself with a gaggle of Pepeshi, haggling off some allegedly-illegal stock.

“... Just doing a favour. Trying to track this guy for someone.”

“What a selfless hero.”

There was a blissful, brief period of peace where the two simply watched the proceedings – and then Kafka chuckled, and something about her tone made a shiver of dread run up Stelle’s spine – though that was immediately followed by the Stellaron Hunter’s fingers trailing a soft, teasing line up her back. Stelle hiccuped, turning halfly to swat at her.

“Stop – what are you doing?!”

“Shh. I’m just making this more interesting, but if you get too noisy, you’ll be busted.”

Stelle barely swallowed a whine, her brow furrowing in frustration at the nervous buzzing beneath her skin. She turned back again to watch her target, trying to ignore the persistent tracing that dipped down across her ribs, sliding over her sides and back towards her spine – before a more sudden spidering made her splutter and duck back behind the wall entirely, clamping her arms down.

“Kafka…!”

“Hush, now. Don’t laugh.”

Following the target was the furthest thing from Stelle’s mind at this point, far too preoccupied with actually trying to stay hidden; both hands clasped over her mouth to muffle a snort that Kafka’s squeezing earned, though she still managed to kick the older woman’s shin in defiance. Not that it stopped her, but at least it was cathartic.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the Stellaron Hunter sounded a soft ‘oh…?’ and let up, allowing Stelle to sink down the wall with a chuckle.

“My bad… Looks like your perp got away.”

“Haah, gh… Are you serious right now…?”

Stelle groaned, finally letting her hands fall as she glared at Kafka, still breathless and flushed. The woman merely laughed, unapologetic as she shrugged.

“Well, you’re resourceful; I’m sure you’ll find some other way to track him down. This was fun.”

With a borderline condescending (but no less genuinely affectionate) pat on the head, Kafka stepped past her, blending into the crowd of Dreamland’s streets before disappearing entirely. Stelle merely gave a hapless sigh, remaining on the ground to stew in a mixture of annoyance and longing.

… She’d revisit the person who enlisted her help later. Right now, she needed to pick a certain kind of fight with March to get the remaining energy out of her system.

On Love

So as you know I made this uquiz with an open-ended question at the end, tell me something about love, and I’ve gotten the most wonderful responses! They range from descriptions of wonderful partners: 

Lauren: oh, how long I went without being myself until I met him and he showed me who I truly was and that my worth was higher than I ever thought was possible

Levi: I love who we are with each other. I love who I am with you. In your company I am me. In your company I am the best of me. The best with the best, I've told you. I wouldn't give you up for anything

Daniel: i fell in love for the first time when i was 17... at the time, i didn’t realize it was the first time, i thought i’d been in love before, a couple times actually, but falling in love at 17 was such a fulfilling experience, it felt so forceful yet so right. it’s when i first truly understood what love was. never before had i felt so understood and so cared for as i did when i was in love with her, and she was in love with me. it’s been nearly 4 years since then, and nearly 3 years since we broke up and stopped talking, and still, i think about her almost every day. i’ve never known anyone like her; to me, she was love itself.

El: oh i’m in love with everyone that i know op!!! especially my girlfriend, of course ,but also my friends and my family and random people on the street and uh

Grace: i’ve met my soulmate and we plan on getting an apartment and marrying after college

A: I’m going to ask the woman I love to marry me and I just wanted to tell someone because I am so excited

Jeremy: you ever have that feeling where basically after years of denying that someone couldnt understand you in a way or love you and then the next thing you know you happen to find that person and its just great from then on out? idk how to explain it anyways I love my boyfriend so much he means the world to me

Lucy: i am so happy i have found the one i love

to descriptions of best friends and favorite people:

Nightbyrd: Love is a hug from an alzheimer's patient who hasn't the foggiest idea who you are, but they know you're worth hugging.

H: I have been doing so much yoga with my roommate recently!! It's a great way to center my mind for an hour

Riv: [platonic] i’ve literally never met anyone who understands me in the way that my best friends do. they’re literally the best people in the whole world and i genuinely don’t know what i’d do without them. i love them with my whole heart

Cillian: when i talk about how much i love my best friend i get so teary eyed because i cant believe that such a genuinely wonderful person wants to speak to me every day - i care for her more than anyone else on this planet

O: my two besties are my sources of happiness and they’re so pretty i would die for them :D

to beautiful quotes:

Kai: "you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on." DARCYYYY PLS MY HEART CANT HANDLW THIS PAIN

Dorian: When the plane went down in San Francisco, I thought of my friend M. He’s obsessed with plane crashes. He memorizes the wrecked metal details, ____the clear cool skies cut by black scars of smoke. Once, while driving, he told me about all the crashes: The one in blue Kentucky, in yellow Iowa. How people go on, and how people don’t. It was almost a year before I learned that his brother was a pilot. I can’t help it, I love the way men love. (accident report in the tall, tall weeds- ada limon, bright dead things)

Adam: every day I think about lemony snicket I will love you if I never see you again I will love you if I see you every Tuesday or however it goes. and it KILLS ME. love only fits in small things

Hero: “Your heart beats in my ribs and mine in yours, and both in God’s… The divine magnet is in you, and my magnet responds.” - Herman Melville to Nathaniel Hawthorne

Mary: "Love is watching someone die."

Alex: "meet me at blue diner, i'll take coffee and talk about nothing baby"

Sparrow: "How dare you love me like you've never known fear?" and "For you, the world," and "Darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades," and "Will you start where I end?"

V: " You want to die for love. You always have. " and "someone will remember us, I say, even in another time" are living rent free in my mind 24/7 and I'm shaking. When will I finally be not the only one falling ?

Sahar K: To love another person is to see the face of god!!!

Miriam: all the love in the world is useless when there is total lack of understanding- kafka

Juls: Don’t you think they are maybe the same? Love and attention

to practices of love:

Leo; i love feeling happy bc somebody that i love is happy and comfortable....like its not about me i just love seeing you smile. we are safe together...idk i just feel it bro

A: I like to think love is leaning on each other during the light or dark days. Its a personal mission of mine to find out who I am and what I want. Yet I never seem to find my place in this world and as I look and look , I realise the only place I can be myself even with or without the efforts to find myself was done on that day or not, I am always tired so shall I lean on you? And you can lean on me as well. I shall be your fig tree and you shall be my favourite willow tree.

L: It's too late at night to be soul searching, but it's a journey we all seem to find ourselves on these days.

Anthi: feeling safe and at home, I guess (also I love frogs)

Julia: ive found that loving someone is like becoming your own thesaurus. you have to find or come up with infinite ways to say, you’re beautiful, or, i love you. it’s a gift

Galexies: ive been writing letters to the person i'd love one day since i was 14. i write them in a little journal usually, but i've been digitizing them into emails and sending them to one account that i'll give to them someday. i'd like to put pictures, but i haven't been outside much recently so theres that. i wonder if they'd like the sunsets i have on file, or if they'd find my cat cute in a bowtie.

Caeles: Love is sharing fruit slices and making someone tea at random

Dundy: Love is sending your friends cursed shit and watching them react in horror

to crushes and potential loves: 

Jess: I have a crush on my roommate. It sucks, but it's also wonderful. I get to be around him all the time when we're at school. we share a life together; it's rather domestic. I think a lot about marrying him and being domestic with him forever. It won't happen, and I'll move on eventually, but I'll be happy with him for as long as I can. I hope you feel loved tonight, because you are. Sleep well.

Aki: I so desperately want to believe that love is fake because I’ve seen what happens when loved ones leave but whenever I start to convince myself that I’ll never love anyone my best friend messages me telling me she loves me. She’s the only person I’ve ever pictured having a future with but love scares me and I don’t really know what to do but I think as long as she’s with me in some way, I’ll be fine

Hi: her her i keep thinking abt her.... gonna see her in 8 days or so i really miss her. its ok if shes never gonna love me like i want her to really being her friend spending time with her makes me the happiest girl on earth.... outsold antidepressants

Kit: this guy i have a crush on has hypnotically dark brown eyes and he's wonderful and shows me kindness like no one else

Juno: my crush has all the stars in his eyes

Mads: When I have the courage to meet my eyes with hers, the world stands still

Be Nice To Me: Look bro I never do these but I am yearning to hold them SO badly right now and someone needs to know it besides me

to the trials of love: 

Pppppp: I just wanna love like from the movies and what I read about.. but everyone tells me that that’s fictional and rare to find in the real world and it sucks bc it seems like all the guys I’ve met are terrible and the norms of society are all about not respecting women and uthdjdjdk

Manny: I have been in love before and I will be again but I’m not now and I miss it

Ok: I don't think I've ever been in love, though I love many people. I am waiting for the day I look at someone and can say, YES. IT'S YOU.

Chloe: idk rn i'm like okay with my love and i'm happy so we'll see i'm just a little cautious rn bc my last partner told me i didn't know how to love

L: love is so fucking complicated I don't even know where to start

Corrin: He’s not real and it worried me that I will never allow myself to live or be loved because I will always be waiting for him

Sean: Good luck it dont exist

Serena: i want 2 b in love :(( </3

13: I don’t know anymore

M: I just really don’t like dealing with it lol

to beloved characters: 

Janaya: I’m madly in love with my comfort and kin character and I hope maybe in the afterlife I can relive a life with him in some sort of dimension

Jhgjdf: when i was a kid i had a crush on ash ketchum from pokemon and id always daydream about being a female pkmn trainer and meeting him and we fall in love

to advice and prose: 

Mikolai: Love is earth, gentle and soft at first flight but upon being broken, drowns you in the dry choking wastes of its consequences...

Thex: Your hands will not go cold without someone to hold them. I am here. I will be here.

Kat: it is the nearest proof to god that i find myself surrounded by people who love in a way that complements so wonderfully the way i love

H: believe in love out of spite believe in love to prove everyone wrong believe in love because you were told not to and we will not do what we’re told anymore believe in love because it’s the strongest act of teenage rebellion we have left believe in love because it’s easier not to and when is easy worth doing? believe in love because everything says otherwise but you are untouchable, you are your own, you are not made by their design believe in love because, perhaps, you are love

Ali: I used to want a kind of love that feels like coming home and now I want nothing more than to be away from home on many different adventures

Em: you dont need to love yourself to accept it from others

to the small, the simple, and the sweet:

Ireal: Poems

O: Flowers

Fay: ah im sorry that i’m feeling unmotivated but you are very kind.

Ad: we love LOVE

A: <3

Isak: small things

H: intense

Hey: Listening to a clock ticking away

Your words are a source of light to me, truly.

Chapter 33/??

Relationship: Todoroki Shouto x Reader (Your/Name), (Full/Name)

Summit: It all begin at the Sports Festival when Shouto’s other half met Endevour by mistake. The student never thought to see his partner fight against his father just to show him that he is wrong. It started from that instant, Shouto’s new path started exactly from that moment thanks to his friends and his beloved one.

---

"Crap, they found it out already? " thinks Joel, "Oh yeah, the waves things... Maybe they saw a change in them and they understood it... Shit."

<<You can't decline it.>> the man stopped (Y/N) before she could speak, <<It's a high priestess's order.>>

<<She wasn't very sick?>> retorts Lenka, <<You didn't come last time to force (Y/N) to take the lead of the family? Now, she's fine?>>

<<She is not, but she is recovering.>> replies the other man, <<She ordered that the third coming of Kafka and her servants must return to the estate.>> they turn their heels and exit, then stop in front of Miraje and Hakkai, <<The third Kafka's heir has two new servants, your violation was helpful, so we will not punish you.>>

<<Her name is (Y/N), try your best to remember it, guys.>> Kirishima can't stand those people at all, <<I don't know who the hell do think you are, but you better treat (Y/N) well from now on.>>

<<Do you know who you are facing?>> the woman moves the hand from her mouth to Eijiro's forehead, even with that veil, it's clear that she is looking at the student with an angry gaze, <<Know your place->>

<<(Y/N)!! Hey, hang in there! Call someone!>>

The chiefs open the door again to check what happened and find the girl vomiting blood, bleeding from her nose and eyes. While her childhood friends explain what happened before, the chiefs notice her crystal earring cracking.

<<!! The beasts are going in berserk! (Y/N) control them!>> they're using some strange techniques to help the girl to repress the beasts that are trying to get out somehow.

<<I-I'm t-trying....>> the girl continues to vomit blood and crouch into herself to enduring the pain all over her body, <<T-they won't t-to l-listen to m-me...>>

A strange aura born around her, and the chiefs are ready to suppress her immediately, but Shuu and Joel punch them hardly enough to send them out of the room. Miraje and Hakkai stare at those men laid at the ground shocked.

<<If you want to kill (Y/N), I dare you fucking bastards to do it, but over my fucking corpse!>> both are so upset that it's new even for your grandparents, they’re always so calm, now it seems like they are consumed by their own rage, <<Move a step and this hospital will be your fucking grave!>>

<<Hey sugar cube, we're here, can we do something to help you?>> says Lenka scared of what’s happening, this is all new for all of them, (Y/N) never had symptoms like those.

<<I’m the one... who holds the reins....>> slowly, the aura goes back, <<Obey me... Go to your place...>> a few minutes later, everything is settled, and the girl recovers fast from the crisis. Tenka calls a nurse to change the sheets, while Shouto and Izuku helps you to clean yourself.

<<Come tomorrow to the estate Kafka's child.>> says the woman, <<This is worse than we thought. The high priestess must know this.>> she exits with a fast pace and talks to Miraje, <<Come with me, this is a huge emergency.>>

<<Yes ma'am.>> your grandma quickly follows the leader.

---

The next morning, (Y/N) and her friends, Todoroki and Izuku leave to reach the Ryuhi's mansion. The students are disorientated when they see a boat and a man with similar clothes to the chiefs on board, but without asking anything, they get in and the boat weighs anchor. While you and Shouto rest a bit, Izuku asks politely why they took a boat and Tenka replies to him while plays with a PSP.

<<The Ryhui family is nonexistent for the world, they live and work around the globe, but the high spheres of the family live in a phantom island not reported on maps. That place is used as a training camp for each member of the family to help them to achieve their dreams, or at least, that's what they say.>>

<<They have a fixation for traditions and all those stupid things... Someone in the past died because had broken the rules.>> comments Lenka listening to music, <<Everyone is kind there though, the high spheres are the asshole ones, so until we meet them, you can do whatever you want.>>

"E-eh? They kill people if they break the rules?! Where are we, in the medieval era?" thinks Izuku feeling a huge pressure on his shoulders, <<H-how we should behave then?>>

<<Treat the high spheres like shit.>> says Shuu enjoying the view of the sea, <<Let (Y/N) speak for you and try your best to not do something bad, or she will be in trouble.>>

<<I will never do that, Shuu-san.>>

<<Wait until they meet us to say that.>> the man shakes you gently, you are arrived, <<You're gonna eat those words up.>>

The boat anchors and stops right in front of a wooden bridge. Since Todoroki slept during the journey, Joel summits all the advices that he must respect on these lands, and the student memorized them in once, if they make problems for (Y/N), he will respect those rules better than a soldier.

The view that shows to them is wonderful, everything is painted in green, big cherry blossom trees form a way towards a huge staircase which leads to an enormous oriental castle....? What the hell is that?! Is so big, too big, what the fu-

The tiles are white as the snow, little houses here and there and that's only a side of that place... Their attention is stolen by the same man that was with you during the internship.

<<Young Master, what happened to your hair?>> he says offering his hand to help you to get off the bridge.

<<I wanted to imitate my boyfriend, so I dyed my hair.>>

<<Really?>> the man looks at you confused.

<<Of course not, silly.>> you lightly hit him on the arm and smile, <<I guess I used too much power when my body wasn't in good conditions.>> "No matter how many times I come here... I still hate this place with all my might..."

<<Oh, how careless I am, I didn't introduce myself.>> he bows in front of the students, <<My name is Ran and I am (Y/N)'s guardian. We already met during the Hosu accident, but pleased to meet you again, heroes Deku and Shouto.>>

<<Are you the hero, Ray...?>> asks shyly Izuku.

<<I am.>> Ran and (Y/N) see that a lot of people are forming a way from there until the castle, and the girl sighs already tired, <<Young Master, please bear with it. We can't break the rules.>>

<<We can't fucking do anything here, I see no differences.>> she whispers back.

Suddenly, everyone starts to sing with powerful voices and the group moves forward. Children, adolescents, adults and even old persons, male, female... there's so many people, what is this? Since the two young heroes are confused, Lenka explains what's happening.

<<Every time a Kafka's heir arrives, a hymn called: "Riot of a Hundred Flames" must be played as sign of respect and worship, since the ones like (Y/N) are considered as a god here.>>

<<How stupid...>> whispers Todoroki, looking at all those people lowering their heads while singing.

<<As the world recognizes you as Endevour's son and not for being Shouto, here is the same thing.>> whispers back Tenka walking behind (Y/N).

When they reach the top of the staircase, a huge wide space is waiting them. As the hymn reaches its end, the servants of the house, sit on their knees in a very polite pose, immobile as a statue. (Y/N) stays at the top of the group, staring at the side of the castle where there are a few seats and three servants are attending the arrive of the chiefs.

Shuu remembers to Shouto and Izuku to be mute and let (Y/N) speak, even if they’re the bearers of the beasts, she has more power inside the hierarchy, leave everything to her is the best choice right now. The silence falls upon them, everything is so quiet that Midoriya can hear the sound of the river, the sound of the leaves... A whisper rises from the servants group, starting a conversation.

<<I heard that she fought Seatiel...>> , <<We must reveal ourselves? What she was thinking?>> , <<I don't know, (Y/N)-sama was really irresponsible about the family.>> , <<She is planning to reject the right to lead the family, what a disgraceful child.>> , <<What you were aspecting from her? She is the Black Sun.>>

<<Seems that you did a big mistake this time, right, third coming of Kafka?>> one of the servant who’s waiting near the empty seats, speaks aloud, <<This happened because you didn't obey to our orders.>>

<<Shut up useless bitch, I'm not here to talk with you.>>

<<Mph, talks the unwanted child you are, who is the most useless one here?>>

<<Todoroki-kun for the love of god, restrain yourself!>> whispers Midoriya clinging to Shouto's arm because he was unlocking his quirk, <<We must bear with it, or else, (Y/N)-chan will pay for us.>> "God, Shuu-san was right... It's very hard to not say something back. Why these people are so mean with her? Is this the way to treat someone that you consider like a god?"

<<Talks the woman that couldn't become anything in her life, so she decided to become a slutty dog for a miserable master.>> Joel notices that the tip of her hair is turning black, she is losing her composure, this is bad...

<<You->> a door slides open and the three chiefs walk to their seats. Everyone lows their head a little, but not (Y/N) and her friends, they mustn't do that since they are in a higher position inside the family, and they want to treat those bastards like shit too. Two birds with a stone.

<<Welcome, Kafka's heir and her servants.>> speaks the man, <<Explain what happened in the Hosu prefecture.>>

<<I want to talk with the high priestess about this.>> responds the girl, <<You are not wise enough.>>

<<Your new servants have tamed the power of the beast?>>

<<I want to meet the high priestess.>> your friends understand right away that you’re at your limit, your voice is becoming harsher, <<If you reject my request, I'll do it by myself.>>

<<She is sick today, you must talk with us.>>

<<I've warned you.>> the girl walks a few steps followed by her group, but the woman who was arguing with before and the other servants block her, <<C'mon, do you think that these good-for-nothing can beat me? It's against my vow to hurt someone, I let you step aside voluntarily.>>

<<Dogs don't talk; when your master says come, you come!>> the other man shouts angrily.

<<You might not know this, but I'm a crazy bastard that'll bite her master.>> you smile evilly, <<This is your last chance, let me meet the high priestess.>>

<<Are you deaf-GHA!!!>> (Y/N) grabbed the woman's hand, twisted it and kneed her elbow, breaking her arm. Izuku jumps when he hears what sound makes the other servants that are crushed on the ground so easily and with so much power. They’re groaning in pain in front of the girl, who doesn't even look at them.

<<These bitches aren't suitable even for a warming up. Ran is much stronger than them->>

<<What is all this mess?>>

An authoritarianvoice stops everything.

Chapter 32/??

Relationship: Todoroki Shouto x Reader (Your/Name), (Full/Name)

Summit: It all begin at the Sports Festival when Shouto’s other half met Endevour by mistake. The student never thought to see his partner fight against his father just to show him that he is wrong. It started from that instant, Shouto’s new path started exactly from that moment thanks to his friends and his beloved one.

---

♩ Can you remember the light that plunged into darkness? Just like values and strong prejudices, I'll break them, throw them away, and change them.

Look, can't you see the things that weren't visible before?" Without limits, just be yourself, there's nothing to be afraid of, there will be blue sky after the rain has fallen. ♩

The more they approach the destination, the more the voice becomes clear and recognizable, it's her, for sure, there are no doubts about it. They exit from the building and start to run around it to reach the garden faster and stealthier, they saw only (Y/N) and a lot of people around her, what happen if someone of the Ryuhi family see them? They'd rather wait a little longer than cause troubles for everyone and for (Y/N). They stop behind the corner and see what's happening; that's why all patients and doctors were mysteriously gone, they are all in the garden to listen to that girl singing. Children sat on the grass, doctors and nurses, parents and visitors, there's everyone! (Y/N) is sit on a bench under the tree and she has the same appeal she had in the fight against Seatiel... The police didn't find the earring yet? Oh, hold on, there's Keiji there too!

<<♩If your heart is full of envy and hatred, I will rescue you.♩>> (Y/N) sings keeping a little child sit on her lap, he holds her fingers and smiles amused like everyone else, <<♩ I'll sing as long as there's life, until it reaches you. Follow the direction of the ringing in your ears and catch a glimpse of the landscape, since music has the power to change all, like that rainbow stretching out...♩>> the girl stops singing as the Hosu's police chief approaches her slowly.

Since the show is over, the doctors bring everyone inside again, the children greet and hug (Y/N) happily and waves at her, hoping to listen to her songs again. The child who is on her lap, raises his head but keeps closed his eyes... Is he blind? Belial and Keiji talk for a second, and the policeman makes a few steps backwards to permit the student to stand up and go to the doctor with the child on her arms. She caresses his little cheeks and says bye to him, then she returns to her seat, inviting the dog-man to do the same.

<<She looks worried... What are they talking about?>> whispers Lenka, while the brother is insulting the dog telling him to go away, he wants to hug (Y/N) and he is in the way.

<<Ah, I forgot to tell you...>> says Hakkai caressing his neck with a troubled smile, <<Actually, we didn't say to her that you’re all safe. From when she is awake, she was thinking about you, and we decided to avoid the topic... She could escape for here just to know if you are ok, so...>>

<<....If she knows that we are fine, she could escape to see us. She already did something like that, but don't you think that you could give her some hints?>> says Joel, <<She must have thought at your behavior as a bad thing...>>

<<They found the earring then!>> Shuu is the calmest one as always, <<Thank you very much but go away. It's our turn now.>> that was unexpected, Shuu that is jealous and impatient, that's new.

Keiji stands up and helps the student to get on her feet, he bows and after a few seconds he leaves while the girl stays with her head low to show the gratitude and respect for that man. Once she wears the earring again, all the flames are suck in inside it and she makes a sigh of relief. Now that her aspect is like before, the others can see how much she changed. All her left arm is covered with bandages, her hair has a big white strip on...

<<(Y/N)!!!>> it was stronger than them, Lenka and Tenka ran as fast as they could towards the girl and hugged her so tight that she was suffocating.

Both kiss her cheeks at the same time and ruffle her hair so hard that now she looks like Bakugou, but the girl doesn't mind it at all, she’s laughing and smiling almost to break her mandible, she's so happy to see that her childhood friends are all safe and healed from their injuries. Joel kneels near them and hugs the girl holding his tears back, and Shuu hugs everyone and kisses her forehead crying happily.

<<(Y/N)-chan!!>> when the group get away from her, Midoriya, Kirishima and Uraraka jump on you and hug you fighting their tears back, Tenya and the others just give you a quick hug and a smile, there's someone who waited for this moment more than anyone.

<<Shouto... I did it... I saved you...>> this time, you are the first one who run towards him crying, <<I saved my light this time! I did it!>> you jump on him throwing him down to the ground.

"Thank you God, for have listen to my prayers! Thank you, thank you, thank you so so much!" he runs his fingers inside your hair and pushes the other hand on your back to keep you as close as possible to him.

His hug is the tightest and strongest he ever done, his breath is the fastest you ever felt, his tears are watering his lips, that smashed on yours, is something that you missed so much... His warmth, his voice, his eyes, his hair, you missed every single thing about him, the only thoughts to have failed to protect your light again, was tearing you apart.

<<....Don't ever disappear (Y/N).>> whispers Shouto to suppress his hiccupping, <<I want you here, always...>>

<<I am here.>> the girl rests her forehead on his and kiss his eyes to wipe away his tears, <<Even when you wake up tomorrow morning, I will be by your side.>>

"The happiness of this moment, I want to always feel it, from here onwards into tomorrow... Always..." he nods because his voice is shaky and it would be uncomfortable to show it to his classmates too.

<<Oi, that's not fair.>> says disappointed Tenka, <<She didn't hug us for so long. Lucky kid.>>

<<Cut it out, Shouto is more precious, let her alone.>> comments Joel, <<And you shouldn't call someone kid, when you behave like a brat.>>

The couple stand up and the girl turns towards the last person that didn't greet her. She regretted her actions a bit, so now that she has a new chance to live, it's better to fix what was wrong.

<<Can I give you a hug, Kacchan?>> you open your arms ready to welcome him.

<<Fuck no! Go away stupid woman!>> he puts his hands on the pockets of his pants and looks away.

<<Eh? Then why are you here?>>

<<If you think that would make me jealous or angry, you are wrong.>> Todoroki stops next to you and speaks with his usual calm voice, <<Come on, it's just a hug.>>

<<Yeah, yeah, he is right!>> say Mina and Ochako, <<(Y/N) is happy to see everyone, so hug her!>>

<<A handshake is better?>> you offer your hand to find a compromise, but the class is making a mess because Katsuki doesn't want to touch you. You try to defend him, but your classmates are determinate to force him at least to do something.

<<Fucking fine!>> he shouts and pulls out a hand from his pocket, <<Are you fucking happy now, nerds?>>

<<Thank you, Kacchan.>> you slowly move your hand to meet his.

<<Don't fucking call me like that!>>

<<Then, Katsuki-kun.>>

<<Screw you!>>

<<How about speaking bomb?>>

<<You little sh->> the moment both hands touch, a strong and hot golden fire explode from the two students, throwing them on the ground, <<What the fuck did you do, dumbass fire woman!? I'll fucking kill you!>>

<<I d-don't know what happened...>> Shouto helps you to stand up, <<I'm sorr->> your body loses his energy and the boy supports you just in time, <<Eh?>>

<<(Y/N), you ok?>> Shuu and the others check if there's something wrong, <<How you feel?>>

<<I can't move anymore... empty...>> you struggle to keep opened your eyes.

<<This is bad. Take her in her room.>> Shouto picks you up and runs towards your room.

Shuu calls Hakkai and forces him to follow the group. Before the student could reach the destination, she starts to scream painfully, she cries trying to endure the pain, she breathes quickly and roughly, grabbing Todoroki's uniform and sinks her face in his chest trying to distract herself with his heartbeat. Once inside, Tenka explains that those stabbing pains are Astraroth's price, not even drugs can reduce the pain, she must stick up with it. Shouto stays by your side holding your hand and uses his ice side to cool you down, hoping that it's working. He's shocked about how strong you are, you’re crushing his bones, but he ignores it and focuses his senses on you. Lenka adds that those attacks last for 15 minutes at least, so a few classmates offer to help Todoroki and Joel with their icy quirks, while the others sit on the floor and wait patiently.

When the pain goes away, you rest your head on the pillow sweating and tired more than before. Izuku brings you some water, while Uraraka wipes the sweat with a little towel. You grab the glass with shaky hands and thank them with a tired smile.

<<I'm sorry Bakugou for before...>> your voice is hoarse, well, after all those screams, fortunately, you’ve this huge hospital room only for yourself, <<It's the first time that happened something like that...>>

<<Shut the hell up and rest, stupid woman.>>

<<Golden...>> Tenka is sure that the flames are seven, what are those gold now? A fusion? A new mode? <<Is it because you fought a Kafka's heir?>>

<<Everyone, get out of the room for a bit.>> wait, those voices... <<Midoriya Izuku, Todoroki Shouto must stay, as the bearer of the beasts.>>

The three chiefs, great. The class obeys at the order and waits outside while Hakkai and Miraje are trying to overhear the conversation.

<<The meeting is settled. In two days come at the estate and bring along your new servants.>> is the woman who speaks first this time, the other two stay silent and composed.

Hero

Chapter 30/??

Relationship: Todoroki Shouto x Reader (Your/Name), (Full/Name)

Summit: It all begin at the Sports Festival when Shouto’s other half met Endevour by mistake. The student never thought to see his partner fight against his father just to show him that he is wrong. It started from that instant, Shouto’s new path started exactly from that moment thanks to his friends and his beloved one.

---

One day later.

Tenka, Lenka, Shuu and Joel go to visit Midoriya and Shouto. The group knocks on the door and walks in with presents for them, but they didn't know that there was another student. They politely greet him and introduce themselves, then share with him the food they brought.

<<How are you, little heroes?>> says Shuu sitting next to Shouto, since Tenka and Lenka wanted to be with Izuku and Joel is near Iida because he seemed to be a peaceful guy.

<<We are fine... How is (Y/N)-chan?>> asks Midoriya, and Todoroki remarks the question once again.

<<We don't know either...>> answers shameful Joel, <<As soon Miraje-san called the chiefs of the Ryuhi family, they moved immediately. They took (Y/N) and don't let anyone know where she is until she will be awake.>>

<<Hakkai-san texts us saying that (Y/N) has damages on an arm, the surgeons managed to reduce them to the minimum, but they said that some repercussions will show very soon.>> explains Lenka, <<Clinically, she’s safe, but we all are waiting for the prices....>>

<<Prices?>> talks Iida confused, <<You can't provide the costs? If that's the case, we can help->>

<<Oh right, you don't know it...>> Shuu thanks the student for his kindness but it's something else, <<We don't know if she’ll survive or not....>> those words stab Midoriya and Shouto deep inside that for an instant they stopped breathing, <<She used all her beasts at the same time... Miraje-san didn't write it, maybe because she didn't want to think about it, but probabily, (Y/N) is paying the prices even now.>>

<<.....>> Todoroki grabs his sheets and bites his lips to suppress his own rage and desperation. He can't go to see her and stay by her side, he doesn't know if he will see her again. It's because he arrived too late? Because he panicked and didn't know how to reach her sooner?

<<(Y/N)-chan saved the city, she can't die->> Midoriya's whisper is interrupted by Tenka's observation.

<<Wait, you two didn't notice it?>> he says blinking a few times, <<You showed the beast... You too Izuku!>>

<<W-what? Wait a moment Tenka-san, I'm not the chosen one.>>

<<Oi, oi... You used Astraroth's power to repel Verg Avesta.>> he explains, <<And Shouto controlled Ash Crow as he was his mate for a long time... You two did something incredible! You two have saved Hosu!>>

<<Did I? I was focused only to protect (Y/N).>> , <<Yes, me too.>> the students look at each other confused.

<<Midoriya, try to call it.>> says Lenka next to his bed, "He used one of the strongest beasts and didn't even feel it?" <<If you do it, you have the proof that you have been chosen from the Gluttony beast.>>

<<You said call it, but how should I do that?>> the blonde twin says that each beast follows the owner's heart, so everything is fine as long as he will be honest with himself, <<H-hello, Astraroth-san...>>

<<Did you just put the "-san" to a quirk?>> Tenka laughs so hard that he is crying, <<Jesus, I love this kid!>>

<<It seemed rude to call him without respect-Ugh...>> his body temperature increases suddenly, he sweats, his throat feels like the desert, he crunches on himself, making his friends worried.

                  ------What can I do for you, Midoriya Izuku?------

A powerful internal voice shakes his organs like if there was really someone inside his body. So that's how (Y/N) feels when she talks with Astraroth...? That's pretty awful, well, for Izuku at least it is.

<<I a-apologize to b-bothered you, b-but c-could you....>> he breaths heavily through his mouth because he feels on fire, <<P-please go b-back...?>>

      ------As you command. I will give you an advice, if you want to talk with me, stay in a cool place and be healthy. Take care of yourself. Then...------

As soon the voice stops, Izuku recovers from that awful feeling. Joel uses his beast to cool him down a bit while he scolds the brothers.

<<Thank you Joel-san.>> Midoriya sighs relived that he is feeling much better than before.

<<No problem.>> says, and then hits the twins, <<He’s injured and you say to him, "call it"?! Are you stupid, god.... fucking damn it!>>

<<Oh, he said that! He cursed in front of a kid!>> Lenka and Tenka don't understand in what trouble they’re now, <<Joel, the cold and composed guy, broke his vow to->>

<<Have you the nuts to joke with an angry wolf?>> the twins look at him and see his glacial eyes shining with a strong white light, his hair is softly lifted by his aura, and when he smiles, his teeth are practically jaws.

<<You said a wolf, not Satan!>> Lenka and Tenka hug each other terrified, <<Hey Shuu, you're the oldest, save us, plea->> they turn to see him, but the man is scaring them just because he’s looking at them very badly. Shuu is sit with his arms crossed and his legs overlapped, and that gaze....

<<Be prepared for a punishment when we are back.>> his voice doesn't help at all! <<First of all, we are in a hospital, behave yourself. Second of all, Izuku and Iida-kun are injured and need rest, you can't do your stupid shit here.>> since Shuu is lecturing them, Joel goes back to his seat and apologized with Tenya for the mess, <<We came to inform Shouto about (Y/N) and the risk that he can have from now on, I couldn't continue my freaking discourse because of you. I want you two to be as mute as a dead, am I clear enough?>>

<<Y-yes sir....>>

<<What are you talking about, Shuu-san?>> asks Shouto, <<What risk?>>

<<(Y/N)'s movement from a hospital to another was ordered by the high priestess of the Ryuhi family. She’s a figure much higher than the three men that came last time, so this means that the family is gonna call us too, no matter what (Y/N) will say. We'll do our best to hide the fact that you two are a mate of a beast, so they will leave you alone.>>

<<The last time that that woman ordered something, was when Yamato died.>> comments Joel, <<When the family is facing a huge crisis like this, all the members are convocated to a meeting and decide what to do. This family is pretty big, so before the meeting is settled, a few days pass since the members lives all around the globe. Kafka's heir and their mates must be in front of the whole family and lead the meeting with the old chiefs. If the high priestess moves, it means that the situation is worse than we thought.>>

<<Argh, going to that stupid enormous estate and doing all the stuffs again?>> groans Tenka hanging on his chair, <<What a pain in the ass.>>

<<What that woman did when she intervened four years ago?>> says Midoriya, "Everyone is so uncomfortable; the mood is destroyed for this topic! I shouldn't ask that, my mouth moved by itself! "

<<Unfortunately, when she calls someone, you can't refuse, not even (Y/N). And when our little girl goes, we must follow her as the chosen ones. That period, (Y/N) wasn't feeling well because of her training to master a new form for Astraroth, so my brother accepted the request.>> says Shuu playing with his hair, <<He was late and we stayed by (Y/N)'s side to be sure that she didn't suffer too much, but an order came. We immediately left and the tragedy happened.>>

<<Someone sent Ash Crow in berserk, and Yamato became a walking danger... We barely recognized him due to the changes that the beast did to him... We refused to fight him, (Y/N) only kept him in place so he couldn't destroy nothing else. Yamato managed to find his will again and talked to (Y/N).>> Lenka looks at the white roof as to reassemble what he did that moment, closing his eyes, he continues, <<He said his last words, said goodbye to us and (Y/N) killed him as he wished.>>

<<w-what?! (Y/N)-kun killed a person?>> exclaims Iida, <<I hope you are joking, Lenka-san.>>

<<Me too buddy, me too...>> he sighs and the brother takes the lead, <<We all have this scenario inside our mind and doesn't disappear, we can understand how (Y/N) feels when we’re involved in something. She went through a really tough time, she lost her mind for months, she wanted to kill herself, she was often possessed by her beasts... Man, she was literally destroying herself to atone for what she did. It wasn't her fault, Yamato asked to end his suffering. We don't think about it, but for her it's a fixation. She became a little colder to protect us from the Ryuhi family, she hides everything, afraid to lose what she cares. Same for you guys, especially you, Todoroki Shouto.>>

<<I am aware of it. We already talked about it...>>

<<Anyway, when this issue is over, Shouto, ask (Y/N) to teach you how to use Ash Crow.>> says Shuu cutting the conversation, <<You must tame that power or you are gonna be in danger.>>

<<Yes.>> he bows a little and falls in silence, thinking about you, if you are ok, if you are suffering or you feel lonely, he needs to know that you are fine.

<<What about me, Shuu-san?>> comments shyly Izuku, <<Do I need a training too?>>

<<Learn to control your own quirk first.>> replies Joel, <<I don't know what saved you, but you were lucky. You're a dangerous brat with a powerful ability, if you use Astraroth and your quirk together like yesterday, you could die.>>

<<You too?!>> the freckled boy says disappointed, <<Why am I dangerous, I don't understand! (Y/N) said that too!>>

<<Did you see yourself in the festival?>> comments Tenka, <<You’re dangerous because of your way to deal with something. Someone needs a lot of determination to throw themselves in such an insane pain like broken limbs; and you did it without blinking. You're a kid, man, it's scary. And do you understand how smart you are? If (Y/N) considers you her rival in strategies, you’re a monster. Think rationally in every situation, create so many scenarios inside your head, and you're only 15 years old. If you were on the evil side, none could beat you, you would be the most stronger villain of all the time. That's why; your mind is a danger, as your behavior or your observations skills. Get rid of that image that someone stuck on you; you're not weak; you're a man that someone strong and capable as Bakugou, Todoroki and (Y/N) consider a rival.>>

<<Don't scare him.>> adds Lenka, <<We will call you if->>

<<Oh, you wounded kids are awake?>> Gran Torino and Manual walk in with serious faces, <<Kid, I got a lot of complaints for you.>> the hero walks near the apologizing Midoriya, <<But before that, you've got another visitor.>>

Everyone stares at the man that just got inside the room. Tall, a dog face... That's Hosu's chief police, Kenji Tsuragamae! Shuu, Lenka, Tenka and Joel stand up immediately and Shouto and Iida do the same, only Izuku has the permission to stay in bed. (Y/N)'s childhood friends bow and excuse themselves, but Gran Torino make them stay anyway.

"Oh god damn, what did we do now?" they think swallowing to break the pressure. "And he just said, woof?"

<<You must be the U.A students who brought down the hero killer, right?>> the policeman speaks looking at everyone, <<Regarding the hero killer was arrested, he had fairly injuries, with burns and broken bones, and is receiving treatment under strict guard, woof.>>

<<......>> the three heroes listen carefully to his words, while Shuu and the others are asking why they must be there if there's nothing to do with them.

<<As U.A. students, I'm sure you already know, when superpowers were still becoming the norm, the police attached high importance to leadership and standards, and made sure that quirks were not used as weapons. And then, the profession of "hero" emerged to fill that gap, woof.>>

"Do we really need to be in this conversation? We’re civils, why Gran Torino made us stay here..." thinks Joel staying silent as his friends, "And why the chief came here personally?"

<<For an individual's use of force and power that can easily kill others, or actions that normally would be appropriate to denounce, to be officially accepted, is thanks to early heroes who followed the ethics and rules of the profession, woof.>> he doesn't lose his cool even when Shouto and Lenka twitched their eyes to his words, <<Even up against the hero killer, for uncertified individuals to cause injury with their quirks, without specific instruction from their guardians or supervisors, is a clear violation of the rules.>>

"What is he saying? These kids saved a lot of people, don't screw around man!" Tenka bites his lip and the brother grabs his pants to make him stay, "....Wait, don't tell me that even (Y/N) is involved in this bullshit!"

<<The three of you, and the pro heroes Endevour, Manual and Gran Torino must receive strict punishments.>>

<<Wait a minute.>> Shouto raises his voice, <<If Iida hasn't done anything, Native would've been killed! If Izuku hadn't come, the two of them would've been killed! No one realized that Stain had appeared. Are you saying that we should've followed the rules and watched people get killed?>> he moves a step forward and Midoriya raises his hand to make him stop with his panicked voice.

<<Are you saying that as long as it turns out all right, it's ok to bend the rules?>> once again, the policeman stays calm and faces the anger of the student.

<<Isn't a hero's job saving people?!>> he's losing his composure since inside his mind rises the image of (Y/N), she's fighting to survive and she saved an entire city, what about that? <<We put our lives on the line for people!>>

<<That's why you are not a full-fledged hero yet.>> comments Kenji sighing, <<Goodness, what are you being taught by U.A. and Endevour, woof?>>

<<You fucking dog!>> the student walks with heavy steps and grins his teeth.

<<Stop it!>> says Tenya looking shocked at his friend going against an important figure of the police, <<He is absolutely right, Todoroki-kun!>>

<<Hey, hey Shouto.>> Shuu gets in his way and stops him, <<Calm down, ok?>>

<<Listen to the giant and hang on a minute.>> remarks Gran Torino, he saw that even Tenka and Lenka had furious gazes, Joel and Shuu were the calmest ones, <<Hear him until the end.>>

<<That was the official opinion of the police. The punishment and such would only happen if this were all made public, woof.>> continues Tsuragamae touching his nose, <<If this were made public, you would probably be applauded by the public, but you wouldn't be able to escape from punishment. On the other hand, this is a bit underhanded, but if is not made public, the burn scars would support Endevour being the hero who saved the day, and it would end there, woof.>>

Shuu puts a hand on Shouto's shoulder and shakes it lightly to show his support. Lenka is keeping his brother in place, so they don't risk going in jail due to Tenka.

<<Thankfully, there were a very few witnesses. This violation would be crushed here, woof... But this also mean no one would know about your good judgement and achievements. Which do you prefer?>>

Manual cracks a joke about the responsibilities they are gonna take for being too negligent with their duties, and Iida bows in front of him and apologizes. Izuku mimics the friend, and with a few pats on the back, Shuu encourages Shouto to do the same. When the pressure gets down a little, the policeman speaks again.

<<For the unfairness of adults, you will not be able to receive the praises you could have, but at least...>> he bows deeply and continues, <<As someone who also protects the peace, I say thank you to all of you.>>

<<Excuse me, chief.>> Joel raises a little his hand and talks, <<Why we are here too?>>

<<The reason why I would that you remain is because you helped and saved a lot of people that heroes couldn't reach in time. I thank you too for what you did for this city, and I'm here to talk about Belial.>> the dog feels as he’s being looked by beasts and not humans, <<Ray and his friend fixed all the damages she did on her fight, I wanted to report this decision to her too, but her family said that she isn't awake yet, and the hero Ray sent me to you. Since Belial acted based on her own will and not under her superior's order, she's on the same boat if not worse for the damages she did to the city. So now I'm asking you, what do you want for her, woof?>>

<<Hosu is safe thanks to her, we don't know if she will survive, and you want to punish her?! Are you fucking with me right now?!>> roars Tenka, but Shuu hits him on the head and looks at him angrily, <<Oi what the->>

<<Be quiet.>> the twin grins his teeth and obeys, <<Please give all the praises to Endevour. Belial did it because people were in danger, not because she wanted fame or something back. She wouldn't mind being unnamed for this event. We thank you for your hard work, heroes too, of course. And I'm sorry for the rudeness of my brother, he is just stressed, please forgive him.>>

<<Please raise you head and don't apologize, I understand him.>> comments the dog, <<Very well then. I must beg you all to keep this thing hidden, and we will report only that the heroine Belial got injured. You are the closest to her so I need to ask you, when she wakes up, please call me. I need to know more about the enemy she fought, woof.>>

<<Yes, of course, thank you very much. And->> Shuu phones buzzes and he excuses himself for a few minutes to answer, each call can be good news or not, <<May I ask you a favor, chief Tsuragamae?>>

<<Absolutely.>>

<<Could you please look for this earring?>> the man shows a picture of it through his phone, <<It's linked with Belial's life. It's very important... If you find it, please tell us right away.>>
