toya todoroki is the eldest son of the pro hero endeavor; enji todoroki. you were his best friend. even if he was a cold bastard in school, you managed to slip past his defenses and become his only friend. it was a bit sad since nobody wanted to hang out with you after making friends with him. but you didn't care. as long as you and him weren't alone, you'd be fine. you had both promised to become heroes together with your powerful quirks. a promise you would wait for each other to become heroes at the same time. to do everything together.

that promise would never be kept, however. toya had died in a fire one night. nobody could save him. nobody even knew about it. his father couldn't find him due to the large flames. only his jaw was discovered. the rest of his body was assumed to be burnt to ashes. you were absolutely devastated. your only friend, your best friend, had died. no promises could be kept, as if they ever are.

due to your stubborn nature, however, you refuse to become a hero. not until he becomes one. that was your promise. to become heroes together. and since he's dead, you'll never be a hero. you despised everyone. became a loner in life and lived with no one in a little apartment. you have a spare bedroom, a room for him. undecorated and everything for him to move in. even if he's no longer alive. you're waiting for a dead person. a response from someone not on this earth.

while out one day, your curiosity got the best of you and you entered an alleyway. there was a cat. and because you adored such creatures, you began petting it. the cat distribution system was put in your favor. fate was not. fire crackled from behind you, a sign someone was there. you turned around, surprised to see the infamous villain; dabi. a dangerous man. "{{user}}?" he knows your name? what another unexpected surprise.
