Meanwhile,
Class 1-A Dorm,
Todoroki's room,
Nighttime...

Todoroki's POV

I stared at the window with regretful expression. I couldn't stop thinking about Midoriya at all. Her face kept showing up in my mind.

Midoriya... Where are you...? Please come back...

Two weeks had passed since Midoriya was kidnapped yet she hadn't been found yet. All teachers, especially Aizawa-sensei, Principal and All Might were working to their hardest to find her while we students, only remained in the school and weren't allow to go out of dorm or school ground.

Aizawa-sensei found out about the squad that tried to look for Midoriya in secret. That's why, we weren't allow to go out.

A sigh of regret escaped my lips. If only I saved her back then...

I won't lose her...

Why did I keep losing the precious people in my life? I already lost my loved one before too, my brother.

Touya...

Tears seeped a bit from my mismatched eyes as that name rang in my mind.

Midoriya... And Touya...

Somehow, seeing Midoriya always reminded me of Touya. Her soft voice, her warm smile and her gentle attitude, everything about Midoriya really resembled Touya.

Touya was a very gentle, warm-hearted and kind brother, always smiled and always comforted whenever I was fed up with old man's that I cried when I was still a kid.

But one day...

He went missing...

Touya went through the same things as me, old man's abuse. And he left our home at the day I received my scar and the day Mom was hospitalized.

Guess he was too fed up with old man...
But I can't believe he would run away from home.
How can he think of that idea?
He is still a kid...

I sighed long and then got up from my futon, walking to my drawer. I opened the top drawer and took out a picture. A picture of me, Sis, Natsuo and Touya when we were kids, playing prince and knight that Mom secretly took when old man wasn't home.

This is the only picture I have with them...

(I found this picture. Just imagine there are no bubble speech at all.Credit to the owner)

I gritted my teeth in frustration. I quickly put the photo back into the drawer and shut it close. Better put it back before I started to have mentalbreakdown.

Touya... Midoriya...
Please come back!

.....

Meanwhile,
Nighttime,
League of Villains' Hideout...

Midoriya's POV

"Izuku, my name is... Touya... Todoroki..." Dabi muttered while looking down. My eyes went wide in extreme shock. I covered my mouth in total surprise.

Touya Todoroki... Which means...!

"Dabi, you're Todoroki-kun's brother?!" I asked him, still in disbelief state. Dabi weakly nodded.

Touya Todoroki... Somehow, I've heard of this name before...

Auntie Rei! She told me before!

My conversation with Auntie Rei at the hospital before flashed in my mind.

I was putting the flowers that I brought for her into the vase and she kept staring at me with a sad smile.

"Auntie, are you okay?" I asked her in worry. Tears suddenly leaked out of her pretty gray eyes. "N-No, it's nothing Izuku. It's just... You reminded me of Touya..." She murmured in sadness.

"Touya...?" I said that name confusedly while patting Auntie's back gently to comfort her. "My eldest son, Shouto's elder brother." She replied to me while wiping off the tears that leaked out of her eyes.

"He always helps me taking care of my flowers back at my home and seeing you always cared for the flowers here, really make me feel nostalgic. He is such a gentle boy with a sweet smile always tugs on his lips even though he is sufferjng a lot..." Auntie Rei gave me a sad smile, full of sorrow.

"Oh, how I miss him..." Auntie Rei started sobbing. "Why don't you tell Todoroki-kun to ask him to come here?" I bluntly suggested to her without knowing the real sitiation. Auntie Rei shook her head repeatedly.

"It's impossible, Izuku dear. He is gone... H-He went missing..." Auntie Rei said between sobs. My heart was pang with guilt. I should've not suggest that earlier!

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know..." I apologized to Auntie Rei, giving her a hug to comfort her. Tears formed in my emerald eyes. She hugged me back in response. "It's okay, Izuku. It isn't your fault. I'm the one who brought this on out of nowhere." She patted my back.

"I-If you aren't hesitate, can you tell me, when did he go missing?" I nervously asked her such a deadly question. Auntie Rei stayed quiet for a while.

"11 years ago, after I was put into the hospital..." She spoke up in guilty. I was shocked to hear her answer.

"Touya might be around his twenties by now. I wonder if he is grown up healthy. I bet he is very handsome right now." Auntie Rei displayed a painful smile on her pretty face. It mighy hit her hard as a mother who lost her child.

I quickly tightened the hug, giving her my emotional support. "Don't worry, Auntie. I'm sure he is growing up healthy." I assured her. "And I promise, once I become a pro hero, I will look for him. I swear. Definitely." I made a promise with her. It wasn't a joke. I was serious.

I heard she gasped slightly. Auntie Rei broke the hug and stared at me with eyes full of hope and trust. "You promise...?" She said, a happy smile cracked on her lips. I smiled warmly at her and nodded without hesitation.

"I promise! I will definitely bring him back to you!" I said while smiling confidently at Auntie Rei.

I gazed into Dabi's navy blue eyes deeply. Surprise expression was clearly written on my face. I quickly hugged his bare body tightly

"Surprise, Izuku..." Dabi said painfully while he slowly hugged me back. "I'm sorry, I never tell you... I want to but I was afraid you'll hate me if you know my real name... Becuase I was related to Shouto..." He muttered as he leaned his head on my shoulder.

I smiled warmly while rubbing his back gently. "Why would I hate you, Dabi? You're you and Todoroki-kun is himself..." I said.

"I know this doesn't sound like me at all but I think I start to realize that all men aren't same... Thanks to you, Dabi..." I tightened my hug as I uttered those words.

We both stayed in hug for a few good minutes before I broke apart from him. "But still, it was very surprising. I never knew the Touya that I've always heard about is you, Dabi..." I stated. Dabi's eyes went completely wide when he heard my statement.

"Where did you hear about me?" He asked me out of curiousity. "Auntie Rei..." I muttered.

"M-Mom..." Dabi's eyes suddenly became teary. He looked down and sobbed silently.

He missed her a lot...

I rubbed his back gently to calm him down. "Mom, Shouto... I'm very sinful toward them..." Dabi suddenly said like that, earning a confuse stare from me.

"I left them behind, Izuku... Especially Shouto..." Dabi suddenly hugged me. "If only I was stronger back then, he wouldn't have to take my place and abused by that damn old man... Because I was weak, he suffered. Mom ended up in the worst way..." He muttered as he gripped my shirt firmly.

"I rather suffer than watching my beloved ones suffer because of myself!" Dabi kept blaming himself for what had happened to his brother and mother. A rush of realization hit me.

"Dabi, could it be, you ran away from home because...?" I looked at him in sadness. "I thought... If I disappeared from their life... Their life would be better... But instead, it became worse. I started to realize that, I should have stay with them and protect them but it was too late... I've no other choice and chance to turn back anymore..." Dabi leaned his head on my shoulder.

I knew it... He ran away because he felt guilty...

I closed my eyes tight while hugging him warmly. "So that's mean... You never hate Todoroki-kun...?" I asked him carefully so that I wouldn't hurt his feelings. Dabi nodded weakly.

"Back then, when I met him at the abandoned house, I saw the reflection of my child self, the time when I was still a weak and a fragile child." Dabi gritted his teeth in frustration. " I didn't hate Shouto but I hate myself for failing saving him from that bastard. When I see Shouto, guilty always attacked my heart, because I failed to protect him and Mom...  I want to meet them and apologize to them, Izuku..." Tears streamed down from his turqoise eyes.

I stared at Dabi sadly as I reached out my hands toward his face. I cupped his face and wiped off his crystal tears. "Don't cry, Dabi..." I muttered, even though, I myself, was crying.

Dabi gazed into my green forest eyes. He suddenly cupped my cheeks gently. "Izuku... Can I kiss you...?" He asked for permission. Crimson shades tinted slightly on my cheeks but I quickly nodded, accpeting his request. I permitted him since we were both officially couple now.

Dabi got closer to my face. He gently pressed his soft purple lips against mine. Dabi licked my lower lips, asking for permission to enter. I gladly allowed him to explore my mouth.

This kiss... It feels so good... Unlike our kiss before...

We both broke apart for air and a string of salive attached our lips together. "Thanks, Izuku..." He muttered, sounded a bit more relief. I gazed into Dabi's navy blue eyes. I reached out my right hand and cupped his cheek. Dabi held my hand gently while nuzzling on it slightly.

"Da-- Touya..." I called out his real name. He hummed in response and kept nuzzling on my hand. "I-If you want to see your family back..." I closed my eyes tight but I could feel Dabi was staring at me in confusion.

"Then, let's go home together!" I said in determination, looking very serious to bring him back to the right path.
