Nighttime
Outside the room...

Midoriya's POV

Why did Shigaraki wanna see me?

"Hey,Himiko-chan." I called her out,wanting to ask about Shigaraki. "Yessu~" Himiko-chan replied in playful tone while giggling at me.

"Why did...Shigaraki wanna see me?" I asked her carefully. Himiko-chan suddenly giggled maniacally. "I don't know but he looked really pissed off that his glares can kill you~" She told me while smiling excitedly or I should say, sadistically. I gulped in fear when I heard she said that.

Did I do something wrong?

Himiko-chan kept pulling my hand until we reached downstairs. I saw Shigaraki,frowning his eyebrows and tapping the table beside him repeatedly. His face was grumpy and he looked very irritated.

"Midoriya." Shigaraki said my name huskily. Dabi suddenly embraced my shoulders,pulling me away from Himiko-chan. She huffed in annoyance when Dabi did that.

He finally put his clothes on.

Dabi got closer to my ears."Don't worry,Izuku. I'll protect you from Handyman." Dabi whispered into my right ear softly.

Dabi...
Why he was so kind to me?
Please..I didn't want to feel like that ever again...

I nodded slightly at Dabi,signing him that I got his message. I stepped forward and stood still in front of Shigaraki. All villains' eyes were on me.

"You know why I called you here?" Shigaraki asked me in hoarse voice while glaring at me deadly. My fists and legs trembled in fear.

He was so intimidating....

I shook my head and just stayed quiet. My heart was beating rapidly due to nervousness.
Shigaraki got up and looked down on me. "Did you enter that room?" Shigaraki pointed to the metal door that was opened widely.

Oh no! Oh no! What should I say?!

"I-I-I-I..." I couldn't say anything back. Beads of sweats dripped out,soaking wet my clothes. Shigaraki's glares became deadlier. He got closer to me and touched my shoulders with all of his five fingers. My clothes started to crumble.

I froze there in fear. "You entered it,don't you?" He whispered into my ears with deep,husky voice. "S-Shigaraki,please...I'm sorry.I-I-I---"

A strong arm suddenly yanked my clothes to pull me away from Shigaraki. My face was buried in a man's broad chest. I saw purple skins.

Dabi...?

I looked up and saw Dabi looking very furious and irritated. "Handsman..." Dabi glared at Shigaraki. Dabi hugged me tighter and shoved my head into the hug.

"Why are you interrupting us?!" Shigaraki hollered in madness. I shut my eyes tight in fear and hugged Dabi back. "This isn't Izuku fault. That damn lizard didn't lock the door so Izuku went there to lock the door. But then..." Dabi suddenly let me go and stared at me,giving me sign to continue.

"T-The door suddenly s-shut by itself and I was t-trapped in there..." I murmured, felt a bit intimidated and scared.

I broke the hug and stared at Shigaraki. He suddenly turned to look at Spinner with death in his crimson eyes. "You're dead,Spinner..." Shigaraki said and he suddenly charged towards Spinner at crazy speed. He yanked Spinner's scarf and dragged him forcefully into that bloody room. Spinner struggled in his strong grips. "Wai-Shigaraki!"

Shigaraki slam closed the door roughly,causing a loud boom to be heard in the room. I gulped in fear when I saw Shigaraki doing that. Kurogiri sighed in irritation at Shigaraki's short-temper nature.

He had never been this mad...

Dabi suddenly patted my shoulder."I told you I'll always protect you..." Dabi whispered into my ears.

All of sudden, a scream was heard from inside that mysterious room. The scream continued and I couldn't bear to hear it anymore.

Dabi suddenly gripped my wrist and pulled my hand. "D-Dabi, where are we---" Dabi and I left the base...

.....

Outside the base,
At a quiet street...

Dabi's POV

"Dabi,where are we going?" Izuku asked for the tenth time and I started to feel annoyed by her question.

I continued to drag her until we arrived at an abandoned house. I stopped here. "Abandoned...house...?" Izuku spoke up. She looked around the house.

"Why...are we here?" Izuku turned to look at me wuth demanding look. I stayed quiet as my face clouded in gloom.

I tightened the grips on Izuku's wrist. Those bitter memories and painful moments in my life flashed in my mind. "Dabi..." Izuku called me out gently.

Why were you so gentle,Izuku? Just like her...
Why did you remind me so much of her...?
You made me felt lonely and sad,Izuku...
You made me wanted to protect you at all cost...
You made me felt complete again Izuku...
You filled the emptiness in my heart..
Because of your gentleness,softness and your personality...really resembled her...

I stared at Izuku. I intertwined my fingers with her slender fingers while gazing into her shining emerald eyes deeply.

"This is...where I grew up." I spoke up. Izuku's eyes widened in disbelief and shock. "No way..." Izuku gasped in shock and looked at me in pity.

"I lived here ever since I was kid. I had no home...no parents...no family and friends..." I said while looking around this run-down house,feeling nostalgic.

"I'm a sinner,Izuku... I became a villain at such young age..." I smiled bitterly.

I never chose this path but I had no choice...

"I never wanted to be a villain and kill people...but in order to survive..." I paused and looked at Izuku,letting her understood it by herself. Izuku gasped in disbelief.

"D-Dabi,I'm sorry...I never knew..." Izuku said in apologetic tone. She looked down in guilty but I quickly pulled her chins and made her eyes met mine.

"I felt so empty and lonely,Izuku..."

Why was I telling her my past actually...?
I had never trusted anyone before...
But she...was different...

"But you...changed me,Izuku.." I whispered into her ears...

Midoriya's POV

No way...
No way...!

D-Dabi was confessing to me?!

My eyes went wide after I heard he said that. I quickly shoved hin away from me. "Izuku,why-"

"NO! STOP!"

I screamed in frustration and regret. Todoroki-kun's cold expression suddenly appeared in my mind,the expression that had been haunted me ever since the beginning I was kidnapped.

"Izuku,wha-"

"Please Dabi,please...no..." I dropped on my knees and tears streamed down from my eyes. "But why...?" Dabi asked. He looked so hurt.

"Izuku,I love you. I promise I will be a much better lover than that Todoro-"

"DON'T SAY HIS NAME!!!!" I hollered at him in anger.

"Better or not, you will just ended up leaving me alone once you're bored of me!" I denied him.

I just couldn't accept any guy anymore...
I was very traumatized...

"I won't trust...anyone..." I hugged myself and my body trembled in fear,fear of losing and being hurt by my love one again. "I won't fall in love...with anyone anymore!" I yelled and punched the ground in frustration.

"You will just end up lying to me! Cheating on me! Leaving me! Breaking me!" I yelled,spitting out my hateful thoughts that I had kept in for so long.

Dabi was frozen by my words. I kept crying and sobbing. "So please...don't love me,Dabi...Stop it..." I begged in desperation.

I couldn't trust love anymore...
Love only hurt me,
Torment me,
Put me in misery,
Disappoint me...

"Midoriya?"

My eyes went wide and I quickly stopped crying. I raised my head and turned to look at the voice's owner. Dabi and I both stared at the boy in front of us.

I stared at the boy in front of me in disbelief.

"Todoroki...kun...?
