Chapter 11: Identity

☆Y/n's pov☆

It's been a few days since i was brought to this.. place, I've been bed bound since my wrists are still tied. My stalker.. he has been odd.. he's been keeping a distance and though i'm relieved i'm also.. anxious.. It's like the quiet before the loud and i don't know how long it'll remain like this..

Sure he doesn't touch me.. or comes near me but that makes it far more scary in my opinion. During the day he would come in the room place food next to me and then leave.. nothing more..

One night i couldn't sleep.. not that i could the prior days but today was worse.. My gut was screaming at me to stay awake no matter what.. So i lay there in that bed.. eyes closed and the blanket covers up to my nose, That's when i hear the door open.. low and behold.. my stalker.. who else could it be? if not him. I hear him walk closer and slowly come to a halt at the foot of the bed.. I can feel his gaze on me.

For what felts like ages he stood there.. silent.. unmoving and just staring. He when finally breaks the silence. His voice was low and surprisingly very gentle... how? why? i don't know.. but it was still scary nun the less..

"i know you're awake, little mouse. Though Don't fret.. i won't do anything"

Those words.. as reassuring as they can sound.. i couldn't help but think.. what if he's just reeling me into a false sense of security? Nun the less I open my eyes slowly and look at him.. My eyes meet his. I search his eyes and .. get met with the softness in his gaze, It's almost as if this was a totally different person from a few days ago.. It felt weird, hell it felt even more unsettling.. I remove the blanket half way and sit up just a bit..

"W-who are.. you?" 

I couldn't stop my voice from cracking but i needed to know.. i desperately wanted to know.. 

"why... why did you bring me here? what could you possibly want from me?"

He stares at me.. unmoving, His gaze still on me.. i know he heard me, I know he did.. My voice may have cracked but i'm damn sure he understood.. so why won't he answer?? why?? 

☆Dabi's pov☆

I hear she questions, As much as i want to tell her.. i know she'll hate me... no she'll hate him.. the one she knew before i turned into this... I don't think i could handle it.. She deserves to know.. I know but i can't bring myself to speak.. to tell her who i am.. 

Her gaze stays on me just as mine stays on her, Her eyes.. they look expectant.. searching, no... wanting an answer to her questions.. i finally open my mouth and speak..

"Someone.. you knew a long time.. ago"

The look on her face is almost as if shes displeased with my answer, Of course she is.. i didn't exactly give a good one now did i.. No matter what i do i can't bring myself to say that name.. I hate it.. because it ties me to the one person i hate most.. But that same name also ties me to her as well.. to her past.. our past

Though I think she already knows.. she just doesn't want to accept it, How could she.. why would she. 

"who?" 

She interrupts my thoughts asking again, This time her voice doesn't crack and i can tell she's getting desperate.. I want to tell her but i can't... i just can't..

"You know, You already know. Little mouse" 

I say the pet name just a bit louder then the rest of the words.. trying to get the word across.. she knows... i know the thought had crossed her mind but she shut it down.. The thought of me being alive.. the thought of touya.. being alive.

☆Y/n's pov☆ 

He keeps calling me that, I hate it coming from him.. not only because someone i loved gave me that nickname but also because there gone.. the way he says it... brings that thought back.. the one i have whenever he calls me that..What if.. he.. is him? what if.. but it's not possible is it?.. it can't be no matter what i think, It's hopeless it can't be.

"I don't know" 

I reply to him, my gaze dropping from his.. I can feel his still on me. This time he responds almost instantly.. As if he himself is as desperate as i was..

"No.. you DO know, Your just refusing to believe it. Look at me.. in my eyes, don't. look. away." 

His words.. sends me into disbelief.. Is he really? can he be.. him? i can't look up.. i can't look at him.. not when i'm considering that thought.. if i'm right and if it is him.. Then i have a lot of questions... emotions.. 

I hear him move, He walks from the foot of the bed to the side.. My side and right now i can't be bothered to care.. He kneels and as he does he gently touches my face lifting it up ever so slightly to get my gaze to lock with his..

"look at me.." 

I can hear the desperation in his voice.. it snaps me out of my thoughts for meer seconds and i comply.. lifting my gaze to look into his.

For the first time i consider it and when i do, I notice all the similarities that i had missed... or purposefully had ignored just because i couldn't bring myself to accept.. His eyes.. they were the same, The same blue.. the same spark and his touch.. a bit rough now but it too is the same..

"T-Touya..?"
