"SO... F/N," Kuroo started, "We never really got to talk about what you said earlier."

"Yeah! You said that you're a hero!" Bokuto said with his mouth full of food, which led to him getting scolded by Akaashi.

"In training," she added.

Kuroo raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, that," he said.

"I'm a hero in training. What about it?" she asked.

Kuroo and Bokuto exchanged glances while F/n just tilted her head in questioning.

"What they're trying to say is, aren't heroes fictional?" Akaashi spoke for them.

F/n looked at him and gave him a what-did-you-just-say-to-me stare and scrunched her eyebrows.

"They're not fictional," she claimed, "I'm a hero and I'm not fictional."

"What powers do you have, then?" Bokuto exaggeratingly asked.

"Explosion," she said.

"What?" Kenma asked, finally looking up from his gaming console.

"Are you actually serious?" Kuroo asked.

She hissed, raising her palm and placing it on the table between them. She activated her quirk and a small explosion appeared.

The other boys flinched at the sudden noise and turned towards their table. The smoke cleared and F/n was finally allowed to see their reactions.

Kenma had his under-eye twitch in surprise, hand now empty as his console fell on the table. Kuroo and Bokuto both had their eyes wide and mouths agape, staring at her palm. Akaashi had his eyes stuck on her hand, unable to take them off of it.

"Oi! F/n! What was that?" Ukai stormed towards the five.

She innocently looked at him and he stared right back at her, knowing what had happened due to the light smoke visible in his vision.

"You used your power, didn't you?" Ukai asked.

"Quirk," she cheekily corrected.

Ukai let out a tired sigh. "You know you can't use your quirk or whatever in here," he scolded.

"But they didn't believe me," she retorted.

Ukai groaned, frustrated at the girl's reply "Whatever," he muttered, walking away, "Don't do it again."

"Yes, sir!"

Aizawa cleared his throat. "Alright, listen," he said, "As some of you might already know, F/n was found missing since the fight between All Might and the villain."

Some students clenched their hands while others looked away to hide the tears that were threatening to fall. Guilt washed over them as some might not have treated her the best.

Ochaco and Mina, on the other hand, were already sobbing silently whilst listening to their teacher. Kirishima and Midoriya had tears welling in their eyes to find that their best friend was not going to come to school any time soon.

Aizawa sighed, noticing the sorrowful reactions from his students. "I was planning to keep it to myself until I found out some people already knew."

He scanned the students' faces, that being Bakugou, Yaotorozu, Midoriya, Kirishima and Todoroki.

"We'll find her," he assured them, though it didn't do any better. Bakugou had been staring out the window and despite his short nails, he was drawing blood on his hand. His breathing was unstable and his mind was foggy.

"Don't worry too much," he continued, "If she was here, you don't think she would like it too much now, would you?"

That was another stab in the heart for the Class1-A students, even the students that weren't too close to the young girl.

It was like she was behind a door with many locks. Every insult thrown to her adds up another lock. Another lock with different sizes, shapes and colours. A different lock that describes who she is the next day or the day after that.

It was like they had to unlock those locks to gain her trust and understand how she actually feels. Like she had a certain trust issue when it comes to humans.

And there goes another bang. Scents of caramel filled the ambience as he panted frustratingly.

"Stupid!" he screamed at the top of his lungs before letting out another explosion in his room.

His previous clean and tidy room was not all messy and destroyed. His hands clenched shut and his jawline was very visible.

After hearing what Aizawa had said, he couldn't help but feel that it was his fault. It was his fault.

He was the one that had been rude to her. He was the one who didn't care about her. He was the one that had the chance to save her.

Bakugou had been thrashing around the house and his parents had been worrying. No, not only for F/n but also for Bakugou himself.

And another loud bang, the loudest one yet.

"Katsuki! Stop it!" his mother, Mitsuki, entered the room.

"Katsuki, your sister will come back," his father, Masaru, said.

The boy breathed in and out heavily, swiftly turning his head to look at his parents. A tear slid down his cheek, surprising his parents and Bakugou himself. He had been so busy blaming himself that he didn't realize he was crying.

"Katsuki..." Mitsuki walked toward him and engulfed him in a hug.

Bakugou was never a hugger in the family, being famous for his dodging skills from being touched that way by any of his family members.

But today was an exception.

Bakugou laid his head on his mother's shoulder and knelt down with her, crying his eyes out on the ground.

Not so far away, or very far away, was what happened exactly to her.

Bangs and booms filled the night atmosphere along with scents of caramel and tired pants from the girl.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" she screamed repeatedly. Tears streamed down her eyes and her face flushed red.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault. My fault. My fault..." her voice drifted away, exhaustion replacing the anger within her.

'I shouldn't have been so annoying to him. I shouldn't have been so clingy to him. I should've been a better sister... If only I knew... I would've been saved.'

While in the other dimension was the boy thinking a similar thought.

'I shouldn't have been too hard on her. I shouldn't have been so angry all the time. I should've been a better brother... If only she was here... I would've saved her.'

After all of the different ways they talk, write, eat and every other small detail that not a single person takes note of.

'Tell me Katsuki,'

But in the end...

'Tell me F/n,'

Both had the same wish after all.

'Where are you when I need you the most?'
