"Hi, I'm L/n, you must be the Bakugou's," I greeted as politely as I could.

"Hello! You must be that teacher that protected Katsuki while he was kidnapped! Come in, come in. Take a seat you three," a woman who I'm assuming is Bakugou's mother answered, inviting me, Aizawa, and All Might into her house. 

I looked around and saw Bakugou on the couch with the man I assume is his father. I sat down across from them with Aizawa and All Might. We explained the dorm situation and Mitsuki said, "Hell yeah put this kid in a dorm!"

I was so lost in the conversation at the fact that this woman acted so much like Bakugou that I didn't even end up paying attention, at least until she looked at me and said, "I also wanted to say thank you. Katsuki told us about how you protected him while the two of you were kidnapped. We will forever be grateful." 

I blushed from embarrassment and simply nodded. 

Time skip

God dammit. After All Might went in to talk to Midoriya's mom, we only had one destination left. The Todoroki household.

We drove up and I looked at the familiar mansion of a house. I took a deep breath and got out of the car. I stood behind Aizawa as he knocked on the door. A few minutes later, Fuyumi opened it. "Hello?" she asked.

"Hello. We're Shoto Todoroki's teachers and we're here to discuss the letter we sent home." Aizawa said.

Fuyumi nodded and looked at me. "Y/n?" she asked.

I froze and nodded slightly. Fuyumi ran out and hugged me tightly. "I thought I'd never see you again! Come in, come in."

She led me inside and I locked eyes with Aizawa. He looked so confused. I just shrugged my shoulders and went inside. "So, you're Shoto's teacher?" she asked.

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I did a double take when I saw him on the roster."

"Well it must have been nice to see him again, all grown up!" Fuyumi said excitedly.

"Um... we have some important things to talk about and we need Todoroki's legal guardians present. Where are his parents?" Aizawa asked.

"Well, Mom is in the hospital and Dad... he's working. You can talk to me though, I basically raised him." she replied.

"Okay. Um, what's your opinion on having Shoto move to the dorms?" I asked.

"I think it's a great idea! He'll get to be with his friends and he doesn't have to worry about being late to school." Fuyumi said excitedly.

"It's also a way to get him away from Endeavor." I mumbled to myself.

Aizawa glanced at me suspiciously before he asked, "Okay, now that's all addressed, do you mind telling me why you're on a first name basis with my assistant?"

"Oh, Y/n lived with us for like 8 years, they're like a sibling to me." Fuyumi said.

Aizawa's eyes flashed in recognition, probably thinking about when I told him I lived with my best friend for 8 years. "I'm guessing you're the sister of the boy in that video?" Aizawa remarked.

I froze up and quietly said, "Yes... Touya was her older brother."

Suddenly, the front door slammed open to reveal Endeavor. My face paled and I muttered, "Shit!"

He looked at me and his vision narrowed, "What did I say about letting Y/n into the house, Fuyumi!"

"But Dad, Y/n is one of Shoto's teachers! They're here to talk about the new dorms!" Fuyumi pleaded as he stormed over to me.

"I don't care! I said that they were never to step foot in this house ever again!" he shouted as he grabbed my arm and began dragging me outside.

Aizawa grabbed his arm with his capture scarf in a way that forced him to let go. "I'd advise you to take your hands off my assistant now." Aizawa said in a threatening voice.

Endeavor scowled and looked down at me. I flinched and backed away. "Get. Out." Endeavor commanded.

I nodded and ran out the front door. I ran my hands through my hair and took deep breaths, desperately trying to stop an incoming panic attack. A few minutes later, Aizawa came out and said, "Explain."

I nodded and got into the car. When Aizawa was in, I could only look at my hands. "Endeavor kicked me out after Touya died. I... I became aggressive toward him and he said that since I wasn't appreciating his hospitality that he wouldn't waste his time taking care of me and told me to never step foot in his house again."

Aizawa growled and said, "That's no reason to kick out a child... Why were you being aggressive toward him?"

"... That's personal, sir."

Aizawa scoffed and began driving toward my apartment. After a few minutes of silence, Aizawa furrowed his brows and said, "When we were at the summer camp, you said that Touya's father drove him insane. So Endeavor's mentally abusive?" 

I nodded. Aizawa scowled. "Do you have any concrete evidence to prove what he did?"

I shook my head. "Son of a bitch. No wonder he hasn't been arrested yet." Aizawa scowled.

We pulled up at my apartment and Aizawa said, "If you need help moving into the dorms, just call me. I can help if needed."

I nodded and got out of the car and went into my apartment. I set down my bag and sat down on my bed, processing what had happened in the Todoroki household. I felt bile rise in my throat as Endeavor's threatening eyes flashed through my mind. Tears pricked my eyes as the feeling of his hand grabbing mine and pulling me out of the house returned. My breathing became heavy as I grabbed at my head to try and calm myself down, squeezing my eyes shut. I heard faint, muted footsteps nearing me. 

I opened my eyes and saw a blurry figure kneel next to me. I blinked and saw a little white-haired boy kneeling in front of me. I stared into his soft sapphire eyes and pleaded, "Touya please... I- I..."

He widened his eyes for a second before nodding and slowly reaching his burnt, bandaged arms out to me. He gently wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a comforting hug. I listened to his slow, steady heart beat while my tears stained his white shirt. Then he pulled me out of the hug and rested his forehead against mine and started whispering muffled words to me. Though I couldn't perfectly make them out, they sounded like, 'N/n (nick name). Just breathe. I'm right here, nothing is going to hurt you. Not while I'm here. Breathe. It's okay N/n, just breathe.'

I felt my breathing slow and my heartrate go back to a semi-normal pace. My hearing stopped being muffled so then I realized that the whispers were way too deep to be a thirteen year-old boy. I opened my eyes and still saw a blurry Touya, but when I blinked it faded and revealed Dabi kneeling in front of me. I pushed myself away from him and yelled, "What the hell are you doing?!"

"What? You were having a panic attack! You also asked for help! What did you expect me to do?!" he shouted back at me.

I took a deep breath and said, "Sorry. I just came to my senses and the first thing I comprehended was your close proximity."

He chuckled and asked, "Speaking of, are you feeling better?"

I nodded and said, "I just need some time alone for now."

He nodded and walked out of my room. He closed the door and I hugged my knees close to my chest. I took a deep breath and reassured myself that I would be okay and that I was probably just hallucinating before slowly drifting off to sleep.
