Chapter 24: Peace and Future Again.

I woke up in a shock. My whole body was drenched in sweat. I couldn't understand what I saw was a dream or a vision of future. The dream was really scary and eye-opening for me. I looked at Fuyumi who was sleeping peacefully on my bed. It made a small smile on my face. I folded the futon and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

It was 4 in the morning. I went to the window of my room and looked at the peaceful street. I haven't done this in a long time. Whenever I woke up, I will start training martial arts.

The street was peaceful, soothing to me. I remember the first time I did this, I decided what I'll do in the future. It all was based on my wish to achieve this peace, living a peaceful life with my closed ones. I made took out my 'need to do' list from a drawer. I looked at the list I made months back. I trained and got the power to defend myself and the ones close to me, I got in a relationship with Fuyumi, even her family approves of us now.

'But I got overconfident in my strength in this period. Killing high-level villains really made me think I am invincible, what a joke?'

I was really disappointed in myself. I was so drowned in raising my basic strength, I didn't even noticed that I became so overconfident and delusional. When did I became so heroic to go and kill villains everyday. I wanted a peaceful life right? When did I became so hypocritical, that I wanted to be a hero-like. This must be the Hero-Complex they say.

I was thinking all this, when the picture of dead Eri (from dream) came to my mind. It was very shocking for me as I always thought my plans were right. She died because I got overconfident that I can kill Overhaul and his lackeys, and save Eri at the same time. Even seasoned heroes like All Might cannot do it without co-operating with a team, what gave me the confidence to do it, even in my dreams.

I was looking at the street with melancholic eyes, when I felt two hands wrapping around me in a hug from the back.

"You woke up?"-Shido

"..Yeah.. "-Fuyumi

"Sorry for waking you up."-Shido

"No..it's not your fault I just woke myself up."-Fuyumi

After that, there was only silence, Shido was looking at the street and Fuyumi hugging him.

"Why are you feeling sad?"-Fuyumi

"What makes you think I am sad?"-Shido moves his gaze towards Fuyumi

"You were looking at the street with sad eyes and you still have sadness in your eyes."-Fuyumi

Shido was silent for a moment, then

"I was thinking about the future."-Shido

"Was there a Fuyumi Todoroki in your future?"-Fuyumi asked in a childish manner

"No."-Shido said plainly without any second thought

Fuyumi was shocked and her hands loosened the hug.

"There was a Fuyumi Kanzaki there, from what I can see."-Shido said in a playful smile

Fuyumi pouted and then started hitting Shido's chest with non-existing damage. She then stopped and pulled Shido into a big tight hug.

"Really?"-Fuyumi

Shido also hugged Fuyumi and said "Yeah."

They enjoyed the moment, alone and peaceful. After a bit of silence,

"You are hiding something from me, right?"-Fuyumi

"Yeah"-Shido just replied without trying to change the topic.

"When will you tell me?"-Fuyumi

"Soon, when all this will be over."-Shido

"Hmm"-Fuyumi

"Have you not think of a possibility where I will never tell you my secrets?"-Shido

"No, I trust you, you will tell me sooner or later but I was feeling impatient that's why I asked."-Fuyumi

Shido smiled listening to this answer

"Fuyumi, you know, you are too sweet and I think you are too good for me sometimes."-Shido

"So, you are using the 'too good for me' trope to break up with me."-Fuyumi said in a playful smile.

"No, I am not trying to break up with you. It just makes my ego as a man grow bigger as I got a girlfriend way out of my league."-Shido

Shido breaks the hug and caresses Fuyumi's face. Fuyumi just gives a sweet smile. Shido pulls her in a passionate kiss.

After the kiss, Fuyumi yawned and went to the bed to sleep again. Shido sat near the window, now more determined to do things more seriously.

'I initially thought using the distraction of heroes and Yakuza members fighting to rescue Eri and defeat Overhaul at the same time, but the whole plan is flawed, the major flaw being the heroes interrupting my work as I will directly kill the yakuza members. The dream showed me my flaws. I will rescue her but with a different approach this time.'

Shido laid next to Fuyumi on the bed.

"I will definitely save her this 'time'." -Shido said and closed his eyes.

(A/N: Last chapter had some points forced, such as All Might believing Shido easily about the drug news. The reason for that is, the entire chapter is a dream. There were a lot of problems but that entire chapter being a dream justifies them. And the reason Shido threw his helmet was, he thought Eri feared his helmet, so when he was talking to her corpse in the dream, he was in an emotional state in which he was thinking that Eri is not talking to him for some reason, so he threw the helmet to show that he was the same person who talked to her earlier. Basically he was talking to her dead body.)
