Dave let out an enraged scream, kicking a trash can hard as he was stomping down the sidewalk with his hands tangled into his brown hair. His mind was spinning and everything hurt. He thought that he knew Toshi and yet the other kept such a thing from him! "How could he do this?? Didn't he trust me?? He told all those other people from what he told me and yet he couldn't tell me till now?!" He asked himself out loud while groaning out to the night sky, no longer stomping down the street illuminated by street lamps but his blood was still boiling. Yes he had done crazy things but he never had kept something so big hidden from Toshi like he had done. It turned their once unshakable friendship right on it's head in his eyes. How could he forgive Toshi for keeping this a secret? It made him want to scream and lash out at everything until he no longer had the energy to do so. He had to figure something out though on what he was going to do and what his next course of action would be. Dave just didn't know what to do at the moment and that's what bothered him immensely. What was he going to do? All of his thoughts were stopped when he heard footsteps behind him and he turned to see Toshi running up to him, making him frown deeply and cross his arms. What did Toshi want?
"Dave!!" Toshi called out, chest heaving up and down for air as he came to a stop in front of the brunette, taking a few moments to catch his breath. After internally debating with himself he had grabbed his black jacket and rushed out the door after Dave to chase him down so they could talk. He couldn't just let Dave go roaming about here by himself especially with his retirement still being fresh in everyone's minds. "I thought i told you i didn't want you following me Toshi. Hmph still don't listen to what your told.." Dave says with a obvious look of displeasure and anger. "look i know that i'm the last person you want to see right now and i totally understand why but i.." "Do you really understand why Toshi? What's going through my head right now? Our whole friendship is turned right on its head! How do i know you haven't been keeping other things from me?!" Dave snapped, cutting toshi off from speaking. " because i'm not Dave! I may hide things from people yes but i am NOT a liar!" Toshi shot back and groaned softly. "Look just please come back to my place now so we can talk about this more calmly. It isn't safe out here especially at night." Dave rolls his eyes and responds "I don't need you trying to save me again Toshi. Were not in college anymore i can take care of myself ok? Or is it another thing you're hiding from me and think i'm too weak to fend for myself is that it?!" "Dammit Dave stop putting words in my mouth! You know very well that it isn't true!" Toshi growled lowly, uncrossing his arms and jabbing his finger into Dave's chest. "I don't know what's true anymore Toshi! I just don't know!! You've shattered that unbreakable trust i thought we once had and i honestly don't know what to do right now…"
" You can come back to my home so we can discuss this in a more safe place for one Dave." Toshi says while running his hands through his hair, feeling tense and unsafe outside at night like this. "And i told you i wanted to be alone for a while but i guess neither of us are getting what we want are we Toshi? I don't need a babysitter so just go home already." The brunette pinches the bridge of his nose, slightly annoyed by toshi's persistence. That is also what made toshi well… toshi. His persistence to help anyone in need even if they don't want it. "Come on Dave please let's get off the street and back to my home together it really isn't.." Toshi let out a yelp when he felt something sharp slice his cheek, jumping back to see a stranger with a knife in their hands between him Dave. 'a petty villain..' Toshi thought as he was quick to get into a defensive position while feeling a little blood ooze from the cut down his face. "Now this is a sight to see. The once unbeatable All Might now looking so weak and frail. Why i bet even a low street rat or petty villain like me could kill you now with ease" the stranger turned towards Toshi and was ignoring Dave entirely behind them, not seeing him as an immediate threat. "You really think just because i look different that you can kill me so easily? I'd like to see you try.." Toshi growled in response to the threat, blue eyes staring the villain down as they charged towards him with the knife raised high. "Toshi what the hell are you doing?!" Dave yelled out, confusion, shock and disbelief all rolled together into his facial features as Toshi was fighting the villain. Did he have a death wish?! Why was he still trying to be a hero in his current condition?? He was going to get himself killed!
Toshi grappled with the villain for a while but he must've been weaker than he thought cause he was soon slammed against the wall of a building, gasping in pain. "You really have gotten weak All Might. How the mighty fall. It really is true that a common street rat can overpower you now! once people hear of a street rat killing the symbol of peace the chaos it will cost will be glorious to see. So say goodbye All Might cause your life ends here tonight!" The villain swung the knife down towards toshi's chest but the blonde catches the villain's wrists, the knife's blade mere inches from his chest as they struggle with it while Toshi was doing his best to hide the fear welling up inside him. He was so accustomed to being able to muscle his way out of villain attacks that he had forgotten how it was like to be without any power at all. To be truly defenseless against a villain and not being able to stop it or defend himself. 'No… no I don't want to die here! I can't die here please someone.. Help me!' Toshi thought, the growing fear now obvious on his face while the villain laughed at his distress. "Never thought anyone would see actual fear on the great All Might's face. It's rather refreshing actually. To see someone that used to be so strong now shaking in fear.." The villain yanked their hands free from Toshi's grip and grabbed him by the shirt, raising the blade above their head one more time. Toshi squeezed his eyes shut and waited for the blade to pierce his chest but he then hit the ground hard as he was freed from the villain's grip, the hard fall knocking him unconscious for the time being.
Toshi's head throbbed and everything hurt as he slowly came around, bringing a hand to his head and felt something wet. "Shiit and i just got my head bandages taken off too. Wait… where's the villain? Oh my god Dave! DAVE?!" Toshi quickly scrambled to his feet and turned to where he last saw the villain only to be greeted by their fleeing back with Dave standing in front of him, beaten and bloody. "Oh my god Dave are you ok?!" Toshi rushed up to the brunette and saw he had taken some hard hits to the face if the blood on his face was anything to go by along with his hands. "i'm… fine Toshi…" Dave breathed, a deep frown on his face with anger in his eyes. "Now can we please get out of here? They might come back.." Toshi asked with worry and concern on his face, Dave nodding his head yes in response to the question. "Yeah let's… get back to your place now Toshi…" Dave softly spoke, wincing lightly from the pain as they started the walk back home.
"Shit that burns!" "Well if you would hold still stop squirming Dave this would go quicker!" Toshi answers, slowly cleaning Dave's face and hands of the blood with alcohol to disinfect the wounds. Once they made it back toshi cleaned his head and put on a few new bandages to cover his new injuries then turned his attention to fixing up Dave. "You saved me Dave.." Toshi said softly after they sat there in silence for a few moments, thinking that this might help them break the tension in the room. "Yeah well i felt i owed you one for all you have done for me and i couldn't just stand there and do nothing toshi.." Dave responds, Toshi quick to add "no i mean it you really did save me back there. I had acted on reflexes, thinking it would be the same as always but it wasn't. I couldn't defend myself at all and i could've really gotten hurt or died but you still rushed in and saved me. You're my hero Dave.." The blonde set aside the alcohol and grabbed the bandages to start wrapping up Dave's injuries. "Yeah i.. I guess I did finally save you huh? I.. I had just acted on instinct and wasn't even thinking about myself. All i could think about was making sure that you were safe from harm." Dave cracks a soft smile, feeling a small amount of pride about this. He had finally managed to save Toshi in some way like he had been wanting to do. "Look Dave i… words can't express how sorry i am. You were right. After everything we had been through together i should've been more honest with you and told you about this sooner. I just.. You saw how All For One was in that fight on the news. I didn't want something like that happening to you or melissa it would've killed me inside if he had gotten to you two! That isn't an excuse though cause i did tell others about it and yet that could've easily happened to them.."
"Toshi i… i'm sorry too. For running off like that after you told me the truth. I was and still am really hurt. You had your reasons for keeping it a secret but it still doesn't change the fact it hurts you kept such a big part of yourself a secret from me. I really thought we could've been honest about pretty much anything with each other and now that trust i had in you is broke. I… i don't know how i can forgive you for hiding this from me right now but i'm not as mad as i was earlier. Honestly after what i did i got no room to talk either. Let's just agree we both were trying to protect each other but it failed miserably in the end. It's gonna take a while to rebuild that trust i had in you toshi but i don't want to lose our friendship over this. Even so i am happy that you finally did come clean about it to me, even though it took a while." Dave sighs, giving Toshi a hug with the blonde being quick to return it. " i know i broke that trust you had in me and i'm willing to do whatever to rebuild it Dave. I'm just glad were both ok now.." Toshi slowly lets go of Dave and looks at him with a soft smile. "I think we should really try to spend some quality time together to start mending our friendship we got plenty of time to do so. Anything would be a good place to start.." Dave suggests, Toshi adding " Yeah maybe i could even bring you to U.A to meet everyone there. I'm sure they'd like that a lot.." "That sounds like a good idea Toshi. If we can do that i wouldn't mind it one bit." Dave stretches his limbs and lets out a yawn. "Well we've both had enough excitement for the day we should get some sleep now Toshi.." "Yeah you're right Dave we both could use a good sleep" Toshi agrees, the two of them cleaning up before heading off to bed for the night, ready to start rebuilding their friendship starting tomorrow.
