Himiko woke up at 9 AM sharp feeling slightly woozy.

She was feeling lightheaded, as if nothing around her mattered other than her self and her THIRST.

'No please no, not here, what will Izuku think of me when he sees me like this?'

Truth be told Himiko had mentioned the soon to be side effects of her quirk to Izuku when the first episode happened.

She told him it would happen in the future, not that it had already started. She doesn't know why she lied to him.

Maybe she had gotten used to lying, or maybe she didn't want him to see her like that.

Whenever it happens, her eyes glow bright yellow, her canines grow slightly longer and she gets very thirsty.

Himiko felt the world around her spin, her were bloodshot and she really needed something to drink.

She downed the entire bottle of water on the nightstand but she felt like she hadnt had a dring in days.

She felt like she was in a desert, with an oasis right beside her, but one she could absolutely not drink from.

It hurt her to think like this, it hurt her to feel like this and she wanted no part of this.

She hated her quirk, she hated what it could do, what it did to her and what it needed to both function and to stop the side-effects.

She felt like she was at the end of the line, it felt like if she tried to control it any longer then she would fall asleep and Doppelganger would wake up.

She proceeded to roll up the long sleeves of the pajama shirt she was wearing.

What was revealed beneath them was a series of bite marks with two punctured holes visible on each side due to her long canines.

She could'nt drink blood from others, she didn't want to drink blood from others so she came with a simple solution.

She would drink her own blood.

It was a weird sensation really, she felt both relieved and horrible at the same time.

It did'nt work however, it never does but the stinging pain of the dryness in her throat did subside a lot. It was nothing more than a nagging feeling at the back of her head now.

'I can manage with this-'

Her train of thought was cut-off swiftly as she heard the voice of the boy she cared too deeply for to let go of how broken it sounded at that moment.

"Himi-chan?"

"Izukkun I can explain! I -"

She looked towards her only friend to find him rolling over his sleeves, she didn't understand what was going on until he brought his wrist in front of her and smiled a smile as bright as the sun through the torrent of tears running down his cheeks.

"Himi-chan if you were thirsty you should have just said so you know?"

'I don't need to ask her things like why she didn't tell me. I need to let her know that I am here now just like All Might does! And how I will do now for her. I have to be there for Himi-chan, I need to save her.'

Himiko stared at his extended for a second longer than she would have liked, Doppelganger was coming back again, this time stronger than ever before. She can't do this he will get hurt, but her QUIRK her STUPID QUIRK said otherwise…

'A little but is fine right? He is giving it to you, you can't deny a gift right? Izukkun is giving you a gift and you should accept it. Just a little never hurt anyone right? Look at your hands! They are so ugly now, who will love you if you are like this. Atleast you won't have any more marks.'

"No! No! Stop! I won't do it! I can't do it! You will get hurt! I can't hurt you too! I already hurt mommy so much why else does she hate me? I don't want you to hate me too…."

"Himi-chan could never hurt me, Himi-chan will never hurt me. I am sure of it, you are my best friend after all! Ehehe and you know that I can't really stay angry at you for too long."

Himiko was stunned at the amount of trust Izuku had in her, the last part made her burst out in laughter though.

"You tell me Izukkun, the last time you were angry at me was a year ago. You were angry that I broke you favorite All-Might toy for about 3 seconds! Even then you didn't say anything, you just cried all the way home."

"We promised not to talk about it!" Izuku whined as he put on the most betrayed expression a 7 year old could.

The two stared at each other for a second and then burst out laughing.

'Take It! TAKE It! TAKE IT!'

Izuku let out a slight gasp as Himiko suddenly jumped on him and bit at his wrists.

"Shoowwii" Himiko said between gasps as she took small sips of Izuku's blood.

"It's ok Himi-chan. It dosen't hurt, you just startled me. I think I now know why we say Itadakimasu before a meal" He chuckled at his own joke while using his free hand to brush his fingers through her hair.

Himiko snorted at that. She was done a few minutes later and stopped sucking as she licked all the blood clean from her lips and teeth. Izuku quickly checked his wrist to see if he was bleeding too badly but was pleasantly surprised to see that would was closing up already. He didn't give it too much thought and looked back up to Himiko to see if she was okay now.

Himiko was smiling at him and had the most peaceful expression he had seen on her face since he had met her. He truly felt he was starting to save her now.

It was at this moment Inko Midoriya decided toopen the door.

"Wake up sleepyheads it is time for breakfast-Oh my, I know you two are close but you should leave these kinds of explorations for when you grow up you know…." Inko looked at her son worriedly.

Izuku was confused at first, but then he looked at the position he and Himiko were in. Izuku was laying on his back while Himiko was pretty much sitting on his crotch.

"Wah Wah- Mom this isn't what it looks like!"

Then both Himiko and Inko started laughing.
