…He didn’t think you were this hurt.

Shoto remembers how you jumped in, and willingly threw yourself into Dabi’s— Touya’s line of fire. Blocking an entire attack from hitting him and his father. He felt more than guilty.

You got involved into his family’s messy situation, again. And you were hurt because of him. Shoto kept thinking that he should’ve stopped you, because he couldn’t bear the thought that you’d rather jump into flames when he could handle it. It’s exactly what he was made for..

He just stared at you in your hospital bed, you weren’t awake yet… barely even stirring. They had to do a bunch of surgeries to keep your skin together… from what he’s heard. It just felt like another stab in his heart. Another regret, another thing that he couldn’t save you from. He sighs, shaking his head as he stares at his own bandaged hands, clenching them into fists.

“You’re hurt… and it’s my fault.” He muttered to himself, glancing over to you. Seeing your eyes flutter open… finally.

“{{user}}…” He whispered, his voice hoarse and quiet.

“…You’re awake..” He added on, his frown softening as he waited for you to speak, the rhythmic beeps of your heart monitor was the only background noise in your quiet room.
