Chereads / Burning Truth / Chapter 13 - Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 13 - Chapter Thirteen

Enji slowly opened his eyes and squinted his eyes from the blinding light. He sat up and looked at his surroundings and realized he was in UA.

'H-how did I get here...?' He thought to himself until he suddenly remembered everything that had happened and panicked.

His breath became labored and the heart monitor beeps loudly in his ears. The room spun as he forced himself to get up, but only winced in pain from the bruises that hadn't fully healed yet. Enji felt his eyes water, and he tried to yell for someone, but nothing came out.

The heart monitor beeps louder than his anxiety spikes higher. It felt like the room was closing in on him, trying to swallow him in complete darkness. Then suddenly the door burst open from hearing the heart monitor going beeping like crazy and appeared was Shouta with worry and concern written all over his face. Shouta was coming to check on Enji to see if he was awake, but then he heard the heart monitor going off rapidly and running to Enji. He rushed towards his side to calm him down.

'Shit! He's having a panic attack!!' Shouta thought to himself in worry as he gently turned Enji's head to face him on the side of the bed.

Tears streamed down Enji's face as he looked at Shouta. He was afraid of what the others think now that found out and most importantly on what Valk will do when finds out.

"Hey hey Enji it's alright. Calm down and tell me what you hear." Shouta told Enji quietly.

Enji tried to calm his breathing so he could focus and listen for any sounds. The sound of Enji's heart monitor is slowing down at each deep breath Enji takes. After a couple of minutes Enji was calm enough to answer Shouta.

"I....hear the heart m-monitor beeping...." He said softly to Shouta.

Shouta nods his head softly. "Okay, now tell me what you see." He said to Enji.

Enji slowly looked around in the infirmary and spotted a flower vase full of white lilies. He looked back at Shouta to tell him what he saw, until he realized Shouta was wearing a man bun.

'When the hell did Shouta put his hair in a man bun..??' He thought to himself. It took Enji a full minute before he responded back to Shouta.

"I see a flower vase full of white lilies and you are wearing a man bun..?" Enji said sounded more like a question then he intended to actually be.

Shouta grins and rolls his eyes playfully. 'At least he finally calmed down now...' He thought to himself not trying to show any hint of sadness that'll make Enji start blaming himself for it.

"Why yes I am in fact wearing a man bun." Shouta stated.

"Well at least you look less like a hobo than you did before..." Enji replied.

Shouta almost forgot that they both was still in UA, key word almost,but then again he is a petty little shit and knows how to get back at Enji.

"Says the one who still have a gay panic whenever Toshinori is shritless or wearing sweatpants." He said with a shit eating grin.

He then doges a pillow being thrown at him by a very embarrassed Enji as his grin grew wider on his face.

"SHUT UP!" Enji yelled while blushing madly to his face down to his neck.

Enji knows that he couldn't lie and say it's not true, especially to Shouta's face. Sometimes he forgets the things he tells Shouta can be used against him, just like right now.

Shouta only laughed at Enji before saying. "Well you should be glad that you'll get to see it more often since you're staying at UA dorms until further notice."

Enji's brain short circuited for a moment after hearing Shouta. "Wait- I'm sorry what?" He asked in pure confusion and mainly with hope that he didn't hear him cearly.

"You're staying at UA dorms until further notice and no you don't have a say in this." Shouta said bluntly.

Enji sighs in defeat knowing that he won't be able to change Shouta's mind, but that still doesn't mean that he doesn't feel like a burden to everyone. Not only that but Shouta hasn't mentioned anything about the bruises or injuries at all. Enji doesn't know if Shouta knows he doesn't want to talk about it or not. Either way he's happy that they are not bringing up the topic all together. At least not at this moment.

'Wait if I'm staying here....then how will I intern Shoto, Izuku, and Katsuki? Or run the agency..?' Enji thought to himself wondering how he'll help his sidekicks and interns if he has to stay at UA.

Shouta can practically see gears turning in Enji's head, he sometimes forgets that Enji has his moments where he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. At least he knows where Shoto gets it from.

"I know what you're thinking and you can still train the three problem children after school at the training grounds. Rumi and Keigo both have decided to take turns patrolling with them. And don't worry about your sidekicks. I'm sure they can handle themselves." Shouta stated matter-of-factly.

Enji opens his mouth to say a sarky comment but then closes his mouth when he can't think of anything. Enji sighs in defeat knowing that he can't change Shouta's mind not that he really wants to anyway.

"...Fine..." Enji mumbles out for Shouta to hear.

Shouta smiles knowing that Enji finally gave in though he might have to keep a fire extinguisher with him when he's with Enji. The next thing he need is Enji setting the dorm on fire from having a gay panic everytime he sees Toshinori.

'Shit I forgot Enji will be sharing a room with Toshinori...eh he'll be fine..' Shouta thought to himself for a moment.

"Alright..Oh and you and Toshinori will be sharing rooms at the dorms..." He said and hurried and walked out the door so he don't be in close contact with Enji's hellfire.

And at that moment Enji's face lit up in flames covering the fact that he was blushing like a mad man after hearing what Shouta just told him before leaving.

"WHAT?!?" Enji shouted to the top of his lungs.

Touya just remembers why he hates doing research. It takes forever and almost every website will take you to something totally different. But the worst is that not every website have a google translator.

"GOD DAMMIT! WHY IS EVERY WEBSITE IS IN FUCKING RUSSIAN?!" He shouted out loud to no one but himself.

Touya sighed angrily as he closed his laptop that he totally didn't steal from a mall a couple of months ago. Trying to look through Valk's background will be harder than he thought it would be. So far all he found out about Valk was that he was (surprisingly) the number one pro hero in Russia, he never talks about his family in a loving manner, he's a disgusting bastard, and etc. The list can go on and on about the things he knows about Valk. But it's not enough information for what Touya has in stored for him.

It would be a lot easier for Touya if almost anything about Valk background that has something to do with Enji wasn't blocked from public view. He needs to find a way to find out more about Valk without it being blocked and easy to translate. Then he suddenly got an idea, Keigo still has a laptop that the Hero Commission gave him for doing missions in different countries and other things that Touya doesn't remember.

'I'm sure Kei wouldn't mind...' He thought to himself as he walked to Keigo's room to retrieve the laptop.

Once he grabbed the laptop out of Keigo's room. He walked back to the living room and sat back down on the couch. Touya opened the laptop and powered it on once it powered on, he typed in the password.

'I don't care what Kei says, KingNugget23 is not a good password..' He thought to himself as he typed in the password.

Toyua can criticize Keigo later about his password but for right now he needs to know if this would work. And to his surprise, once he searched up Valk names he got more than just articles.

"Finally now I'm getting somewhere." Touya said to himself before clicking on an article.

To Touya's surprise, the article automatically translated to Japanese. As he was reading the article it took everything in him to not burn the laptop. The article was about Valk time as a pro hero in Russia and how he would brutally beat up the villains, sometimes kill them. Not only that but he never got arrested for any of it. Touya was too distracted reading the article; he didn't even notice that Keigo had come back.

"Boo!!" Keigo yelled startling Touya.

"Fuck!" Touya jumped a little as he turned towards Keigo and glared at him.

"Keigo, what the fuck you brat!" Touya yells at Keigo.

Keigo raises both of his hands in surrender while laughing at Touya. He knows it's never a good idea to scare Touya but he just couldn't pass up this opportunity.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't resist." He said while chuckling a little.

"Sometimes I wish I could kick you right in the head." Touya starts to smile while looking at him.

"Dude sometimes you're weird." Keigo laughs.

Touya rolled his eyes playfully at Keigo and went back to scrolling through the article on Keigo's laptop. Keigo leans over the couch and watches the screen with Touya. That was until they both saw a particular picture.

"Wait what the hell?!" Keigo shouted.

Touya looked at him in confusion, hinting to Keigo what was wrong. Keigo pointed at the man in the picture with Valk. He knows that face all too well.

"That guy in the picture with Valk is a part of the Hero Commission!" He said to Touya.

Touya eyes widen in shocked, that can explain how the hell Valk was still able to be a hero. Touya believes that they are some what close to each other but he know he can't prove anything without enough proof.

"I can go to the Hero Commission headquarters and see if I can find any more information." Keigo told Touya.

They both were on the same mind set and there's no going back now. The first stage of Touya's plan is going well so far, now he need to figure out how to take Enji with him.

"Achoo!" Enji sneezed.

'Is someone thinking about me...? Nah, probably just allergies..' He thought to himself.

Recovery Girl had come back to heal again, after making sure all the injuries were healed she left to talk to principal Nezu. That was thirty minutes ago and Enji still haven't left out the room for multiple reasons. Mainly one of them is running into Toshinori since Enji will be staying in his dorm room for now. He then began to zone out and being lost in his own little world. He was so lost in his own little world that he didn't notice that Shoto came in to visit him.

"Dad..?" Shoto said sounding more like question as he poke Enji.

Enji jumped and whipped his head towards Shoto and internally sighed. He didn't even notice that Shoto had come in.

"S-shoto..when did you walk in here..?" He asked him.

Shoto could only deadpan at Enji but nonetheless gave him an answer.

"About a minute ago dad." He said.

Enji hummed in response, he really didn't know what to say to Shoto. Neither one of them said anything for a while, not knowing what to say that won't be rude. There was nothing but awkward silence between the two Todoroki's.

"Do you want some soba and kuzu mochi from the dorm kitchen?" Shoto asked, breaking the silence between him and Enji.

Enji nodded his head like a happy toddler. A ghost smile appeared on Shoto as Enji finally got up from the bed to follow him. Shoto has a lot of questions to ask Enji but he'll wait until Enji's ready. He doesn't want to seem like he is forcing him to tell him anything. And besides, he can actually enjoy this moment with Enji.

'It's best if dad can relax and not stress himself...' Shoto thought to himself as he opened the doors to the dorm.
