Few Minutes Replay

I sat frozen on my spot as I faintly heard Kacchan ending the call.

This man named Aoki let out a huff and lazily stuffs his phone back in his pant pockets. I bit my lower lip in nervousness when his gaze landed on mine. I hardly gulped and averted my eyes.

"Kurogiri, prepare to escape. Now I'm having regrets why we have accepted this bothersome fool." Shigaraki, just beside me sitting on a high chair, said with a groan.

He got off the chair and the man with misty head raises his hand in front him. In a moment, a huge black warping hole appeared. Shigaraki was about to enter when Aoki spoke up.

"Shigaraki! Wait!"

Shigaraki halts and turns his head to him.

"What."

"Can I play with Izu-kun for a while?"

"Knock yourself out. He's useless at the moment anyway."

I flinch when I heard that. My gazed landed on the floor in shame. Am I that useless? Why is that I was born different than people who was born with quirks? They really needn't to rub that fact on my face.

"Hey~ Izu-kun~" I shudder and raised my head when a voice spoke just near my face.

I yelped and backed away, when Aoki's face was right in front of mine. My back hit the long bar table, signing that I have nowhere to go. Aoki tried inching closer to me. His face clearly states bad intention so I forcefully pushed him by his shoulders. I halfly stood, trying to escape him but he grabbed my leg. I panicked as he pulled me down.

"Now, now. Izu-kun~ Don't run away from me~ Let's play something nice here~" he cooed and was literally smirking, the kind of smirk of a ràpist.

He topped me and held both of my wrist above my head. I tried struggling but he was too strong. I'm afraid. I'm powerless. I'm nothing.

"N-no... Get o-off of m-me!" I tried shouting but my words results sounding scared.

Aoki gazed at me, lowering his face to mine.

"Come on, now. Be my toy, Iz-"

A loud explosion banged on the door. I closed my eyes when dusts blowed from the entrance with wind preassure on us. I groaned and when the smoke slowly subsides, a figure appeared by the entrance.

I felt relief that finally someone was there to stop this person above me. I almost felt glad as I squint my eyes to see who that person was. When the smoke finally disappeared, a boy of my age, with ash blond hair wearing suit while his sleeves were mostly tattered and ripped, stood there while staring at us blankly.

'Kacchan's her-!'

My thoughts were interrupted while Kacchan roared and charges at our spot with a hand on front of him, making crackles of explosion. I couldn't registered what just happened when I saw his raged expression and his teeth bared like a wild animal.

He tackles Aoki off of me causing them to drift further away back. I raised my upper half body to go to Kacchan but only horror was the thing I saw. Kacchan was on top of Aoki's figure and kept landing punches on his face and showering him with his explosion. I heard groans of pain and Kacchan's angry grunts and curses.

"K-kacchan! St-stop! Please, it hurts!"

Huh?

I went silent. W-who was that? The one who spoke just now... sounded like me.

I saw Kacchan stopped abruptly on his punchings with his fist on air. My eyes widens as I had a glimpse of the person underneath him. A beaten up version of me.

Oh no...

"D-de...ku...?" Kacchan mutters as if realizing I was that person who was he beating up there.

I immediately stood up. Afraid that something more horrible might happened.

"Kacchan!" I shouted and his head was shaking as he turned his face to me.

His expression showed fear and somewhat regret. I gritted my teeth and placed a hand on my chest.

"I'm the real one, Kacchan! He's deceiving you!"

After saying that, Aoki raised his upper half and landed a punch on Kacchan's cheek. Kacchan stumbled back and Aoki managed to get up.

He headed for the exit and before he completely disappeared he said; "I'll be back for you, Izu-kun~"

He finally disappeared out of the scene and only Kacchan and I were left in this place. I quickly turned my gaze to him. He was still sitting on the floor looking on it with blank expression.

Fear suddenly boiled in me. Oh no.

I headed in front of Kacchan and tried tapping his shoulder for him to snap out of it but he wouldn't move a muscle. He's just sitting here with swollen cheek. His usual energetic eyes were now full of fright, seems that he couldn't see that I'm in front of him. It looks like only darkness was in his current vision and nothing else.

No...

"Kacchan..?" I franticly shook him but I only heard him mumbling things I couldn't hear it properly.

"..."

Without any hesitation, I pulled him and warped my arms around his head. I was on my knees while his head was leaned onto my chest. I rubbed the back of his head to at least soothe him.

"Kacchan, please come back. I'm here, unhurt. You didn't hurt me. It was just a villain who disguised himself as me. I'm safe." I whispered to him and I noticed that his tensed shoulders began relaxing.

His arms moved and warped them around my waist. He pulled me closer to him as his embrace tightens. I formed a smile. Even if his embrace was trembling, feeling that if he lets go of me now I might disappear forever, I feel at ease right now. I should be the one who's supoosed to be scared here but... is Kacchan really afraid for moment there that he thought he was hurting me instead?

So, he cares about me? Cares about me that much? Basing on our childhood, he used to be really mean to me and even insulting me with names. I didn't like it but sooner I got used to him and thought it was just his nature. But now, Kacchan seemed like a different person. I'm even having doubts if this is Kacchan that I knew since we were kids.

Kacchan raises head to look at me after some moments passed. I grin at him cheekily.

"See, I'm fin-"

I was going to proved him that I'm alright but my words were cut and my eyes widens in shock. Everything in my mind became blank and couldn't believe what's happening right now.

Kacchan's... k-ki-kissing m-me?!
