Kirishima POV:

"Bakugo please."

"Answer our questions and then you can see him."

"Bakugo please." I repeat, keeping my eyes glued to the ground.

"Did you willingly attack those kingdoms?" They asked for the seventh time today.

"Yes. Bakugo please." I answer, only wanting Bakugo.

"Why did you do it?"

"Tell help. Bakugo please." All I've asked for is Bakugo, and they couldn't give me one thing.

"Who told you?"

"Friend." I answer again, "Bakugo please."

"Was that friend the other dragons you were held captive by?"

"No hold. Friend.. Bakugo please."

"Do you know how many kingdoms you destroyed?" They asked again, ignoring my request once more.

"Bakugo please." I say, ignoring their question. If they were going to ignore me, I would ignore them.

"Do you know how many kingdoms you destroyed?" The man repeated, seeming to get agitated again.

"Bakugo. Please."

"Okay, we're done for the day." The guard interrupted, pushing away the man with the questions.

"At least we got a few more answers.." I hear the man murmur under his breath.

"Bakugo please!" I beg again, tugging at the chains restraining me back.

But once again, they ignore me. I've been down here for three days now, and not once have they answered to my plea.

All I wanted was to see Bakugo, was that so hard? Nobody even came down to see me besides the question man and the rounds of guards.

Not Sero, not Mina, not Kaminari, not Shinso, and not Iida. Did they not like me anymore? Did I do something wrong?

I missed Toyo, I should've listened to him. He was right, these people didn't care..

Hearing clicking down the hallway, they were very familiar footsteps. They slapped against the concrete just like his did. But it couldn't be him.. right? Right?

As the tapping got closer, my breathing became faster. It wasn't him, it wasn't him, it wasn't him.

Please don't let it be him. I killed him! I remember him being dead! I killed him like the monster he told me I was!

Backing into a corner, I put my locked away hands over my head as I slide down to the floor. It couldn't be him, I don't want it to be him.

Curling up into a ball, I try to make myself as small as possible. If I'm quiet, he won't hurt me as much. That's how it always went..

"Hello?"

He was here, I don't want him to be here. I don't want to be hurt.

"Red? He's freaking out. Let me in."

"At once Your Majesty.."

I could hear the cell being opened. And I prayed he didn't have the rock whip, I don't want bruises.. I don't want to be hurt.

"What did you guys tell him?!"

The whip would sting anytime now. I know it, I know it's coming. I don't want to be hurt.

"Nothing, Your Majesty. I didn't even see him crumble."

Why wasn't he hurting me yet? I knew he was right there, probably just waiting for me to look up. I don't want to be hurt.

"Red? It's just me bud."

It was a trick. It was definitely a trick, I know it is. I don't want to be hurt.

"Hey! Come back to me, you're safe."

It was a trick. It was a trick. It was a trick, I don't want to be hurt.

"Red, snap out of it. You are safe."

A hand softly grabs my arm and puts down my hands into my lap. Two arms then wrap around my back and pull me forwards. Master wouldn't do this.. Master is dead.

"W-who?" I stutter, just now noticing my wet cheeks.

"It's me, Aizawa. Remember?"

"A-Aizawa?" I whisper, relieved.

"Yes, it's me. See? You're okay."

"I sorry, sorry." I cry, apologetic.

"Can I ask you a few questions?" He asks softly, releasing me.

"Yes." I nod, looking to the side.

"We're you brainwashed?" He questioned, sitting across from me.

"No."

"Okay, why did you do it then?"

"Friend tell revenge, make happy. I believe, but lie." I admit, I mean it was fun at the start, but as soon as I flew away from Bakugo, I regretted it.

"Would you do it again?"

"No, no hurt." I shake my head, rattling the chains connected to the box around my hands. "Sorry, sorry for hurt. No mean.."

"Guards? Give me the key." He ordered, holding out his hand. "Toss it."

The key landed perfectly in his outstretched hand, and he scooted forwards.

"Here, give me your hands." He says, and I comply.

With a soft click, the box splits open and my hands were free. Examining them, I look back up to Aizawa.

"Thank." I smile, hugging him tightly.

"Mhm." He patted my head. "Follow me."

I walk behind Aizawa as he led me out of the dreadful cell. Thankful that I was finally out of there.

"I can't believe that I was in there for two minutes and got all the answers needed. While the guards were asking for three days and were gonna keep going. Unbelievable." I heard the King mumble.

Making it to the real parts of the castle, I could finally recognize the halls. I did miss them..

Following closely behind Aizawa, he continues down the hallway, I think we were going to the library..

My assumption was correct as Aizawa pushed open the large double doors. The King stood in front, blocking anyone inside from seeing me.

There was a brief moment of silence, and then he nodded his head. The screeching of chairs and several pairs of feet stomped echoed from the room and Aizawa stepped aside.

And I saw Kaminari, Shinso, Eri, and Bakugo, all running to me. I didn't mind that the others were missing.

"Red!!" Kaminari yells, latching on to me and laughing.

He picks me up and swings me around, still giggling.

"We missed you!" Eri said as Kaminari set me down.

"Yeah.. we all did. Glad you're back, Red." Shinso smiled, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I look at Bakugo, and he was smiling brightly with his arms crossed.

"You-" He started, but I cut him off with a hug, and knocking him to his butt.

"Bakugo, I sorry. Did wrong, fix. Sorry, sorry." I apologize, holding him tight.

"What? What are you apologizing for? I'm the one who hurt you!" Bakugo said, hugging me back.

"No, I leave. Hurt. Sorry, sorry." I apologize again, feeling him pat my back.

"No, I'm sorry, Red. I should never have left you without considering how you felt about it." He admitted, I smiled as I pulled my head back to look at him in the eyes.

"It okay."
