"Touya..?"

Chapter one

"Weak! Again!"
...
"How pathetic!"
...
"You're already six years old!"
I wake up in a cold sweat, then curse myself out. He's not going to find me again. Those two idiots will make sure of that.get it together Touya. You've got a better life now.

I sigh and get out of bed. Put on some sweatpants. Check is any of my staples come out. See if I'm bleeding anywhere. Check my roots, then-

"Daaaaaaabiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

I mutter "oh god," as Toga walks into the bathroom.

She's still in her pajamas. Thank goodness. She smiles foothill at me and speaks "Dabi? What were you doing looking at your hair?"

"That, Himiko, is nothing you need to know."

"I told you to call me by my given name!"

"Well what if I don't want to?"

"Why wouldn't you want to?"

"I find it disrespectful."

She sighs and walks away, knowing she's lost the fight once again. I finish my checkups and go down to the main room.

"Beer?" Misty asks me, though it shouldn't be a question. I take the beer and start to drink it.

"Dabi!" The blonde idiot squeals behind me. I turn around and give her an aggravated look.

"Did you forget what today is?"

"Do I want to remember?" I say, downing the rest of my beer bottle and throwing it away.

Toga smiles "it's grocery shopping day! And you are the one that goes shopping! And you promised you would take me! And-"

"I GET THE POINT," I say, walking back to my room to put on some decent clothes. Twice and shiguraki absolutely love it whenever I wear jeans, though I don't know why. I sigh and put on my T-shirt, jeans, face mask, jacket, and hat. And of course, my favorite boots. I walk back down and make sure Toga Dodd's the have any knives on her. As well as appropriate clothes. It all checks out surprisingly. I then sigh and leave with her without another word.

"You're sighing a lot, Dabi."

"And?"

"Why?"

"Doesn't matter."

"Yes it does."

"Nope."

"Yep."

"Nope."

"Yup."

"Nope."

"Dream?"

"........yeah......"

"It's gonna be ok Dabi. I don't know why you have bad dreams, and I doubt I ever will, but"

"But nothin. Shut the hell up."

She looks down. We walk in silence, but she holds my hand still. I never learned why she did. We reach the grocery store and walk inside and are immediately met with a woman who was, supposedly, walking out with the groceries she just bought. She smiles at us and says "aww, such a cute couple you two make."

I give her the death stare and say "three things. Don't assume two people are dating when they holding hands. Two, this is my sister. Three, I'm gay. So keep your standards to yourself and don't assume things." I smile though she can't see it. "Have a nice day ma'am," I say, walking off with Toga.

Cold.

That's all I feel walking past a white haired woman in the aisle. I shiver. Toga looks at me confused, then starts talking loudly, "Dabi did you just shiver?! You never get cold! You're like a human heater! How did"

I cover her mouth, "shut the f**k up."

She nods and a lower my hand from her mouth. I then say "you can get one package of cookies." She then dashes off to go get cookies. I smile and continue shopping, thoughts filling my head, when the same white haired women is at my left, making me cold again. I look at the woman. Then freeze. Not because of her quirk. That woman...is my mother....
