Weezing as he gasped for air, nails digging into the soil. Whimpers leaving his lips, lungs panicking for a sliver of fresh air, coughing out bile, tears running down his face.

Staring at the pair of feet, he looked up. His complexion paled, eyes trembling in fear as he saw that sneer. Eyes turned into multiple eyes, incoherent whispering heard all around him.

Heart racing, pounding heavily, against his chest. He curled up in a ball, another whimper leaving his throat as he held himself close, trembling as the voices turned loud enough to hear what they say.

Covering his ears, hands, as he felt them touch against his skin, scratching against it. Over and over, and over again. It started to ache, yet he continued, continued as he felt the small drips of blood running down his face. His ears were ringing. The pitch, reaching higher and higher. Causing him to have a headache, he cried out, begging to stop it all.

'please stop, stop it all! I don't want to be in pain!'

A quiet voice crept into the back of his mind and gently spoke.

'Then stop breathing if you want it to stop.'

He gasped out, lifting from his bed. Breath shallow and rapid, frantically looking around the room. Beads of sweat, falling, hair sticking to the frame of his face, and the nape of his neck.

A hand, trembling upwards to his neck as he scratched scratching. Coming to a sudden halt, he moved it away and stared at his hand. He sighed in defeat as he quickly grabbed a container. Opening the lid and adding the medication cream around where he scratched.

His bright red eyes, looking into the reflection, his light blue hair passing his shoulders by a few inches, standing up as he changed into his school uniform. He yawned as he tied his hair with a hairband.

Opening the bedroom door as he walks out, heading to the kitchen. He greeted his father as he sat down, having the usual breakfast meal as always.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, what about you?"

"Likewise."

They both ate in silence. Tenko stood up first and washed his plate. Grabbing his bento near the sink, he gave his goodbye as he headed to school, gripping the straps of his backpack, reaching closer and closer to the building.

His eyes wandered around as he still couldn't felt have the feeling of uneasiness. He knew Junior high would be completely different. Compared to playing with those kids at the park almost a year ago.

Swallowing as he shook his head, he wouldn't let that stop him. He knew he was making a lot of progress compared to those years ago. Yet, here he was, the second term in school, still feeling nervous.

Was it because he hasn't seen Takami since the incident? Well, that was nearly ten months ago. He was making up excuses. He was scared that was it.

But of what exactly, of his peers? or his mental health? He still remembered his father being incensed at the school. They seemed reluctant to have him there. Due to him just taking some medications and being diagnosed with some mental issues? Ridiculous.

He walked past the gate and hurried to his classroom, not wanting to be late. He needed to kept that role model student look after all. Being among the high ranking students is a hassle.

He sighed as he heard the last bell indicating the end of school, many going to their clubs or cram school. He stood up, grabbing his bag. He stiffened at the grip of another person holding onto his backpack. Slowly, turning to see a small group of students smiling at him.

"Hey Shimura, do you want to join us? We're planning to go to the arcade later."

"Ah, sorry. I planned to help my dad with buying some ingredients to the store. Plus, I have to meet my tutor, as well."

They gave our groans of disappointment and didn't pursue any longer at him. They left the classroom as they idly chatted amongst the small group, some eyed at Tenko as he packed away his items.

He felt nervous as he watched them leave. His smile instantly dropped as he grabbed his items and left school. He walked to the apartment. He frowned as he saw the same man countless times before. The bright blonde hair was obvious to know who it was. All might. He didn't know anyone else to have the same type of laugh, smile, hair. Hell, the gestures were the same if anyone paid enough attention.

To have his father not know who this man is was a surprise. That didn't matter. He would protect him all that he could. Walking behind the man as he tugged out his keys from his pocket with his gloved hand.

"What are you doing here? My father isn't going to be here until much later."

"Ah, young Shimura! Good to see you-"

"Don't take off the suffix. We aren't that close."

The older male stiffened and nodded in obedience. The boy only smirked at seeing how compliant he was. Maybe he should have some fun with this? Perhaps a new side of Tenko has been unwinded from these Circumstances.

"Still, it does make me curious, of why the number one hero, All might is friends with my father, a simple office worker?" A smirk laced across his lips, watching the blonde man be distraught.

"By whatever do you mean by that young man? I'm merely a freelance photographer."

"Cut the bull shit. I've seen you enough time on the news and youtube videos. I'm surprised not a lot of people haven't found out. You practically have the same gestures and personality as him. How my father hasn't figured out is a surprise. You suck at hiding that you're a hero."

He says as he opened the door, looking at the male fall more in a panic frenzy for being called out. He smiles, opening the door, letting himself in. "Come inside. I'm sure we have a lot to talk about, especially about hiding your most desired secrets, after all."

New chapter! I want to say thank you so much for following and liking this story, even more, a thank you for those few that leave reviews. It makes this cold heart happy to know people enjoy this. The next few chapters will primarily focus on Tenko. I'd love to know what you think so far in the story, so don't be afraid to leave a review! It's kinda scary knowing I'm like one third through the plot I have so far, aaaah. But I do hope you enjoy the process of what I have so far. Some scenes are influenced by my own personal life and beliefs hahaha so yeah watch out. I hope my friend doesn't find this since I'm practically bashing their favorite character all might. I really really don't like him, he's good as a hero sometimes, shitty as a person and a teacher in my own opinion, mostly cause of the stupid reasons he does. But then again, maybe I sorta understand? Not all of it though.
