The weeks go by, at least once or twice a week we do an overnight patrol, which I'm loving. Early October comes and we switch into our winter uniforms, other than me. And the majority of the class still don't know about 'Toshi, Kami, and I being a throuple.

"Hey, classes are canceled." Kami says as I wake up.

"Deadass?" I yawn.

"mhm, Aizawa sent the text."

I lean over a shirtless 'Toshi to check my phone, seeing the notification. If I wasn't sore, I would call Dad to see if I could come in early. But I'm dating two guys with good size-

"Go back to sleep then." 'Toshi tells me, putting his hand on my lower back.

"Give me a sec." I just got a black noti. From Dabi. That might explain why classes are canceled.

I lay back down between my boyfriends. "We should get some clothes on real quick." Kami suggests, "In case anyone starts looking for us."

"Just pass me my pants." 'Toshi rolls over onto his side and wraps his arms around me.

Kami scoots off the bed, tossing me a shirt and sweats and Hitoshi just some sweats before putting on his own clothes and returning to bed. I manage to get mine on without leaving the bed.

"Are you alright after last night?" 'Toshi asks me, recuddling after getting his pants on.

"Yeah, we weren't too rough, were we?" Kami adds.

"Just a little sore." I answer, "Like I worked out all day yesterday."

Knock knock "Shinso-kun! Are you awake?" Hagakure knocks.

"Fuck." he groans.

"Only if you got a strap I can use on ya." I remark softly, earning a snort from Kami as our boyfriend gets up.

"Hush." Hitoshi hisses at us before opening the door enough to be the only one seen, "What's up Hagakure?" he asks.

"Have you seen Todoroki-san or Kaminari? Neither of them came downstairs."

"They're probably still sleeping." Hitoshi reasons "I don;t know about Kaminari, but I know Azula tends to be a deep sleeper so even if you knock, she won't wake up easily."

"I didn't think about that! Ooo! I wonder if they're cuddling! Thanks Shinso!"

"Nice cover." I tell him as he wraps his arms around me and Kami grabs one of Hitoshi's hands.

"Thanks." 'Toshi rests his head against mine, "Now let's go back to sleep."

"I have to make sure to be up in time for my work study." I yawn.

– –

"Knock knock." Toya's knocking wakes me up. I groan, rolling away from the door. Another knock on the door causes Hitoshi to stir.

"For fuck sake." he groans, getting up, I hear the door open "What do you want?"

"You three need to get up and eat. I know 'Zu got her work study to get ready for."

"Yeah, I'll wake them up. But did you have to pound on the door?"

"Did you have to answer the door without a shirt?"

"At least I got pants on."

"That's not where the hickies are."

"Fuck off."

"Make sure 'Zu gets up." footsteps go and the door closes. The bed dips behind me "Kam, 'Zula. Wake up, it's almost two. We need to eat."

"I can sleep for ten more minutes." I tell 'Toshi.

"I'm sure your brother will personally drag you out of here." Hitoshi remarks before gently shaking Kami asking our boyfriend to wake up.

"Do I have to?" Kami asks with a yawn.

"If I have to, you have to." I start to sit up. Yeah, I need to eat, my head really hurts now.

"You two got concealer for the hickies?" I ask them "I got some for me, but I don't think we're the same skin tone."

"Come on, I don't have that many hickies on me." Kami sits up.

"Don't have that many hickies." Hitoshi repeats.

"Oh yeah, definitely not that much." I add.

"Shit." Kami jumps out of the bed and to Hitoshi's bathroom, "Jesus Christ you two."

"I think it's a good look on ya." Hitoshi remarks as I raid his closet for a hoodie to cover the hickies and bite marks I know I got on my neck at least.

"I'm going downstairs." I say, peeking out the door. All clear.

"Wait up!" Kami calls, pulling on one of Hitoshi's hoodies as well.

"Seriously? My hoodies." our boyfriend asks in the formerly empty elevator. He got some marks, but most of them are covered by his T-Shirt.

"Our hoodies." I corrected him.

"Besides, they're comfy." Kami adds. The door opens on the third floor for Ojiro.

"Hi, finally waking up?" he asks.

"Yeah, might as well take advantage of no classes." I shrug.

I eat before getting in my school uniform and grabbing my case. "See you guys later." I wave to the class. Don't worry, I got plenty of concealer everywhere that those two marked me. At least the ones that I can see.

"Hi Dad. What we doin' today?" I ask him once I've changed into my costume and double-checked for any visible marks.

"Some more training with your quirk." Dad informs me, an everyday thing aside from overnight patrols, "Then perhaps a patrol."

"Sounds good." I remark. Over the past few weeks, I've gotten better at using my fire and even been learning some of his moves to have in his arsenal. We go to the training room. I warm up with a few stretches before starting in with prepping, I guess, for Flashfire Fist. At least raising my temps to the max while using my left to keep the rest of my body temp at safe levels.

"You're getting better." Dad says, "What's the hottest you've gotten with your quirk?"

"Orange mainly," I tell him, "I got yellow for a minute before starting to overheat."

"I see." Dad remarks, seemingly in deep thought, "You haven't been using Rei's quirk much."

My right hand goes to my scars as I come up with a response "I mean you don't have an ice quirk, it's been smart to work on your quirk here since Toya can't really show me." I reason, "Plus I can ask Shoto for help too."

In truth, I can barely make ice weapons without panicking. I could do it with that fight against Dad, probably because he was here or melted it, but every other time I feel myself start to go into a panic attack.

Probably my body telling me that I don't deserve to use it.

Dad raises an eyebrow at my response. He knows my cues, or can guess them. He got the Top Spot for a reason.

Dad starts the car once I'm changed back into my uniform. "Are you alright?" Dad asks, "You've been quiet all day."

"I'm fine." I tell him, "I was just focused on training." I know he wants to ask more about why I'm not using Mom's quirk.

hE'lL tHiNk Of YoU aS a FaIlUrE.

Not now, not while I'm with Dad. I lean back into my seat, closing my eyes to try to keep my emotions at bay, keep the wall up. I don't need to have him start worrying about me too, I can handle myself.

"Azula," Dad says, "you got something on your neck."

I open my eyes to check in the mirror, God Dammit you two. One of the many hickies that I had covered up is starting to peak out. "Just some dirt, it'll wash off when I shower." I tell him, feeling my cheeks heat up a bit.

"I see." he says.

—

"Azula! Did you see the news?" Kami greets me.

"The raid on Overhaul?" I've seen it all over my phone, including the League cutting the Plague Doctor's arms off. I'm mildly disappointed in my team for not inviting me. After all, he did murder Magne and took Compress' arm.

"How are you calm about it?" my blonde boyfriend asks me.

"We live in a world of superpowers." I shrug.

"Apparently Midoriya, Tsu, Uraraka and Kirishim were in the middle of it with The Big Three." Shoto says.

"They'll probably want some warm food when they come back." I remark, "I'll start cooking once I'm changed."

"I'll help you." Hitoshi says.

"Thanks, I'll be back down in a sec."

-

"They're baaack!!" Mineta calls "Everyone, they're back!!"

The majority of the class basically rushes the four, but Iida stops them, "Yes yes, they know we were worried about them!! But calm down!!" Iida chides "We all saw the broadcast and extent of what happened. Because it isn't just their bodies, their hearts have also been worn down by everything that's happened, as their classmates, we ought to let them rest their weary spirit."

"Hey Iida," Midoriya speaks up, "Thanks, but I'm fine." he smiles.

"If you're sure." Class rep said before going on about how worried he was.

"I got Zosui [Japanese Rice Soup] in the kitchen. There should be enough for everyone if Toya doesn't eat it all." I tell the class, though earning a flick to the temple from said brother.

"I'll brew some lavender Herbal Tea!" Yaoyorozu says, "It's just the thing to help you relax."

"Whatcha sulking about Kacchan?!" Kami goes over to the couch that Bakugo is sitting on, "You were worried too, so come join us!"

Bakugo immediately gets up saying he's off to bed. "Midoriya, Uraraka, Kirishima, Asui," Shoto comes back from the courtyard, "sorry, but I've got to sleep as well." Before giving me a hug good night.

Real heroes don't try to kill themselves.

My last thought before waking up with a racing heart. God fucking dammit. I check my phone, one in the fucking morning. Luckily, neither of my boyfriends woke up as I got out of bed. I can probably sneak off to one of the gyms to do some training. The only thing that will keep me from repeating-

"Why can't I fucking do it?" I ask myself after almost having another panic attack from trying to use my mother's quirk. I grip my hair, some song playing on my headphones, I don't know anymore. "Why the fuck can't I do it anymore?" I feel the tears roll down my cheeks. I thought seeing Mom would help, I mean it has a little, I can move around and any other basic ass shit that I've been doing since I was a kid. But the fucking minute I do shit like making shapes or the bigger moves that Shoto does, I start going into a fucking panic attack.

"Pull it together, Azula." I wipe the tears away, "You're supposed to be a hero, heroes don't cry." I check the time, once I calm down, five-thirty. I should head back to shower and eat.

"Good morning Baby." Kami hugs me from behind and kisses my cheek.

"Morning Kami." I give a smile, plating some eggs I just made. I've already had my coffee. Just biding my time to get ready for school at a more reasonable time.

"Why weren't you in bed with us?" my boyfriend asks.

"Sorry, I woke up early and decided to do some training." I tell him.

"You could've woke us up." Kami yawns.

"Not at 1 am."

"Why did you wake up at 1 am?" Jitoshi asks, walking in, in his school uniform unlike Kami and I.

I give a half shrug, "No fucking clue." I'm sorry Hitoshi, but if I told the truth, I'd have to admit things that I won't even tell my twin if I can help it.

"I see." Hitoshi kiss my cheek.

"Morning Sis." Shoto greets me before greeting my boyfriends.

"Morning Shoto." I give him a wave.

–Time Skip to Hero Training–

"Hey, Azula want to spar?" Hitoshi asks.

"Sure." I answer "Do you want me to not use my quirk or don't care?"

"Whatever will give me a challenge." he replies.

"Can I join? A little three-way action." Kami winks.

"A 2v1 would be smarter for you two." I tell Kami as the three of us walk to our own area of Gym Gamma.

"Are you sure you can handle both of us at once?" Hitoshi asks, once we were away from the rest of the class.

"Probably." I shrug, resisting a PG-13 comment "I mean, it'll give me a bit of a challenge."

"Confident, aren't we?" Kami smirks.

"You were the one wanting to fight both of us." Hitoshi reminds him.

"Azula, how are you so good?" Kami whines, tied up with Hitoshi in the latter's scarf, my second win thus far.

"Just a lot of training, I guess." I shrug, untying them. I mean that's the only thing that I can think of.

"You've been up since 1 AM, and you can still whoop our asses." Hitoshi points out.

"What the fuck were you doing up at 1 AM?" Toya asks, walking over.

"Randomly woke up." I tell him, catching the water bottle he tossed at me.

"Hey, mind if I train with you guys?" Shoto walks over after Toya leaves to make sure everyone else is hydrating.

"Please! She keeps beating us." Kami begs.

"Let's do it, Little Brother." I smirk.

"2v2 or 3v1?" Hitoshi asks.

"3v1! I want to have a chance of winning." Kami says, putting his arms over Hitoshi's shoulder.

"Geez Sis, how badly are you beating them?" Shoto asks me.

"Not that badly." I shrug.

"Not bad my ass!" Kami argues.

"I assure you, I could've been a lot meaner if you like."

"Please don't." Kami begs.

"You can give me a harder time." Hitoshi says.

"Same with me Sis."

"You got it." I smirk, stepping back to let them plan their attack, allowing me to do similarly but without needing discussion.

"Let's do this!" Kami puts his fist in the air as Shoto gives a familiar smirk.

I return the smirk "Ready?"

We start the battle, a bit of a challenge with Shoto providing assistance behind my boyt\friends. Looks like I'll need to focus on him, so first "Sorry loves." I smirk, dodging my twin's ice attack.

I once more use Hitoshi as a springboard to yoink his scarf to tie my boyfriends up again before focusing on my twin. I give an exhale before heading towards him.

"Come at me Azula," Shoto tells me "I know damn well you didn't put in the effort at the sports festival."

"Didn't feel like taking the top spot." I shrug before doing a sneak attack to slam my twin to the ground, hands pinned behind his back causing him to grunt.

"Know what, maybe I'm glad you didn't go all out 'Zu." Shoto admits.

"This wasn't really all out for me, Little Brother." I inform him before helping him up.

"No one is safe from Azula." Kami sighs.

"Lies, I would never fight my mother." I put a hand on my chest in mock offense.

"What about Fuyumi and Natsuo?" 'Toshi asks, accepting my hand up.

"Only if they want to." I shrug.

Class comes to an end and we head back to change back into our school uniform.
