You didn't hesitated to bolt towards Akashi and Aoi who are stuck in an old monkey bar that was about to collapse.
Your head was all blank and it was only your body that was moving. You might call it a mother's instincts, and adrenaline was kicking in. You never felt so scared of losing Aoi and Akashi.
Katsuki immediately shoved Shoto's hands off him and started to run towards the twins too. He is the father of those kids, and he can't bare to let them get injured nor lose them. A cold sweat ran down Katsuki's temples, an indication that he was scared.
"M-mommy." Aoi's lips trembled in fear as he tried not to move from his spot. He and Akashi were at the top of the monkey bar and apparently, the pillar of the monkey bar is rusty and is about to break. None of the boys knew that it wasn't supposed to be used yet since it's under construction.
Your hands were trembling, "A-aoi, Akashi... mommy is here. Mommy's gonna get you out of there... o-okay?" you tried to calm yourself down as you talked to the boys. You started to climb up the monkey bar, and you made sure that you are stepping on the strong part of the bar.
"A-aocchan, t-t-take mommy's hand." your voice were trembling as you extended your arms, reaching for the closest kid to you.
Aoi hesitated but he immediately took your hands and slowly walked to you. As soon as you had Aoi in your arms, you turned to see Akashi, who was farther away than Aoi's position earlier, "A-akacchin, I need you to come closer so t-that I can hold y-you."
"Mommy, I'm scared..." Akashi is already weeping, and you can't seem to swallow the lump on your throat, "Akacchin, mommy's got you, okay? Trust mommy."
"O-okay..." the monkey bar was really tall and you feared that if one of them fall, they might seriously injure themselves, knowing that they still have a small and fragile body and it can definitely break their bones if they fall from the tall height.
Akashi began to slowly crawl over the bars, and he would stop when the pillars would shake. The monkey bar seemed like it would break any minute, and you feared the fact that it could collapse while Akashi is still there.
The monkey bar was barely intact to the ground!
You immediately grab Akashi as soon as he was within your reach. But it was too early to celebrate, the steel which you used to stand on collapsed, making you fall.
Your hands instinctively covered Akashi and Aoi's head so that incase they would hit their heads on the ground. You closed your eyes - and you're way too surprised to even scream.
You waited for an impact but there wasn't any. You immediately shot your eyes wide open and to see Katsuki holding you up in a bridal position while you were carrying both of the boys in your arms.
Katsuki was glad that he made it in time to catch you from falling. And thanks to his daily training, he was able to carry the three of you in his arms to safety, "Thank God I made it." Katsuki was relieved. He felt all the anxiety that was hitting him earlier was gone.
But that didn't stop the metal bar from falling apart.
Metals began to fall towards your direction and Katsuki wasn't able to use his quirk because he was holding you and he wasn't able to react fast, "Fuck!"
The falling metals weren't able to land at you when Shoto activated his Ice quirk to make an iceberg just by stepping on the ground. Luckily, Shoto was able to think and react fast, or else the four of you would be barbecue right now.
Shoto ran towards your direction, "Are you guys alright?" he asked in calm, yet nervous tone. You nodded in response that made Shoto feel relieved, too.
A part of him was blaming himself for what happen and he can't help it but to feel upset. "(y/n)... I'm really sorry. It's all my fault... If it wasn't for me, y-you wouldn't have--" Shoto was interrupted when you smiled at him.
"It was nobody's fault, Shoto. You saved us, we are more than grateful." you said in a mellow tone.
"Mommy, w-were sowy." Akashi began to bawl while Katsuki slowly placed you down. Aoi did the same as Akashi, they probably felt bad for doing things that was considered bad. "We're j-just about to go the s-swing when I told A-aoi that I want to climb on the monkey b-bar..."
You glanced at Katsuki, and he nodded his head at you. You bent down to level yourself with the twins, you placed your hands at the top of their head, "It's okay... You're safe now, and that is all what matters..."
Aoi and Akashi ran up into your arms and you gladly welcomed them up with a hug. You are glad that they are safe and that is all that matters.
"I'm gonna fucking kill those dipshits who are reconstructing that piece of garbage! They didn't even put up a fucking sign!?! What are they? some sort of gradeschoolers?!!" Katsuki gritted his teeth as he began to rant. This is the second time that he could've lost the twins and what pisses him off is that he always barely made it!
"How can I even call myself a Hero, dammit!"
"Katsuki..." Shoto called him, making the angry blond male turn to him but his annoyed and furious expression is still plastered in his face. Katsuki scrunched his face as he turned to Shoto, "What ya want, Half n' half? I'm not in the mood on picking a fight with you, dumbass."
Shoto just rolled his eyes, but he still reached for Katsuki's shoulder and tapped it, "You take care of them, alright? I'll freeze you to death if I hear a single word from (y/n) that you're hurting her." Shoto turned his back and started to walk away.
Katsuki's lips immediately thinned into a smirk, "Hah! What do you take me for, dipshit? I ain't no pussy, ya hear me?!"
Shoto turned around once more, and this time your heart jumped for joy. Shoto couldn't bare to see someone could hurt you but he doesn't want to see you sad, too. So this time he'll take the bet.
"I'll trust you, Katsuki." he muttered as he began to walk away.
Katsuki scoffed before his lips bursted into a wide grin.
"Yeah. You should."

"Miss Himiko Toga?" a young girl, probably in her early 20's approached Toga who was sitting on a park bench with Twice. Toga immediately turned her head towards the unfamiliar person and greeted her with a smile.
Toga stood up from her seat and stuck her hands outwards, initiating a handshake which was gladly accepted by the girl, "I'm Youma Takasaki, Im the one who called you earlier."
"Hello, Youma. I'm really glad to hear that you can help me save a friend." Toga immediately cringed at her own words. You don't even know that she's taking action and now she got the audacity to call herself as your friend.
"Yes, I'd be more willing to help you. My grandma insisted to help you after reading your blog. She says that she was the one responsible for your friend's memory to disappear." Youma seemed to be nervous, she is still skeptical since she knew that the woman who is standing in front of her was a former villain.
Toga held her shoulders, making her flinch, "Thank you so much!" Toga thanked her sincerely. Toga was really genuine this time. She can't believe that she's going to finally give you the most precious thing that you lost because of her, your memories.
And by that, she was hoping that you could forgive her. Even if you don't, she would still be happy if you got your memories back. That was the thing you needed most, and you deserve to get it back.
Youma smiled at Toga's action, thinking that maybe she did change after all. It's been years since they turned themselves over to the heroes, after all.
"It's okay, really. My grandma is over there. Let's go." Youma pointed at the old woman who is sitting on a wheel chair not to far from them.
Toga turned to Twice, "Hey, nutsack. I'll be right back. Don't do anything stupid." she warned the blond man which made him scratch his head.
"I'm not a kid, peabrain!" Twice replied, making Toga stuck her tongue out to him before following Youma towards the old woman.
"Grandma, here's the person who I contacted earlier. She's friends with the Raijin Hero that you always talk about." the woman turned to Toga with a hopeful look on her face.
"Hello, I'm Himiko Toga. Please, can you tell me how to bring back my friend's memories?" Toga bended down to level the old woman.
The woman smiled weakly at Toga before answering, but her smile went away in a matyer of seconds after showing it to her. Making Toga really nervous about the things that she is about to hear.
"I'm Yuri Takasaki, and my quirk is Amnesia."
