Chapter 20: Forgiveness (Toga)

A/n: This chapter is gonna deal with some heavy stuff towards the end, this is a warning. F/c is favorite color, (M/n) is mother's name and this dude is the person you're meeting at the mall but like with horns yk.


You woke up with a throbbing headache. You quickly made food then used your quirk to get rid of the pain. Being bored you opened your phone and saw a text from Mina asking if you were still going to the mall.


Still wanting to go you showered and got ready. Being that you weren't at work you put your hair in a simple ponytail. You also switched from the regular sweatpants to a (f/c) long sleeve shirt and a plain black skater skirt. You grabbed a small handbag and put your phone and wallet in it.


You hopped onto the train and headed to the mall where you were going to meet up with Mina and them.


You stood being there were no more seats empty. You turned to your side to see a suspicious looking man getting uncomfortably close to a girl. The girl seemed to freeze, she had blonde hair in two messy buns. She was in uniform so you assumed she was around your age.


Seeing that he wasn't backing up you used your quirk to make a vine of poison ivy. You carefully slithered the vine onto his wrist. He saw the vine and backed up, looking around for the culprit. You then retracted the vine slowly so he wouldn't notice.


You watched as he started feverishly scratching his wrists, resulting in him leaving the train.


The girl lifted her head to see that the man had left. You flashed her a smile and made a small flower. She mouthed a thank you and you nodded. Once your stop had come she approached you,


"Thank you for helping me out back there. What's your name?" She looked to you blushing slightly.


"I'm (y/n) and your welcome heheh."


"What a cute name! Mines Himiko Toga." She said putting her hand on her chest.


"Let's talk more later okay!" Toga said skipping away.


You waved to her and continued on to meet up with the girls. Once you found them there was much discussion on your appearance.


"Why don't you dress like this more often?!" Mina said eyeing everything.


"I don't want to be a distraction." You smiled.


Mina simply swatted her hand as to say no way. She then dragged you to some shops and made you try a bunch of stuff on with Hagakure happily assisting. Ochaco and Jiro also tried things on. After about two hours of trying clothes your stomach growled.


"Can we get some food? We got a bunch of clothes." You asked.


Everyone agreed and went to the food court Momo got a table and while deciding on what you wanted to eat you saw someone familiar. You remembered him from some pictures and videos your mom sent of him apparently he was famous.


Being that you hadn't talked to your mom in a while you decided a quick picture and autograph wouldn't hurt. You grabbed a napkin then walked up and tapped his shoulder. When he turned around you saw he was tall and had dark hair with violet eyes. You could also see the beginning of a tattoo on his neck along with a pair of ram like horns on his head.


"Hey, Can I get a picture with you and maybe a signature?" You asked the man.


"You know me?" He responded surprised.


"Uhh, not really heheh. But my mom does and I wanna send a picture." You said justifying yourself.


He raised and eyebrow, "Hmm, fine."


He then put an arm around your waist and pulled you close. You pulled your phone out and took a selfie with him. You were surprised over how little he cared about personal space. After the picture he signed the napkin and wrote his number.


"Call me later, alright." He said walking away.


You read the signature,


"Purple Steel? Wait a minute..."


You took out your phone to look him up,


'A CAMBOY?! SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT A CAMBOY.'


You mentally face palmed at your moms antics. Shaking off what just happened you went back to shop with your friends. Friends :)


After shopping for a while everyone was asked to leave the mall, apparently a villain was spotted there. Being that you couldn't go back into the mall you decided to go home. You said your goodbyes to everyone then finally arrived home.


You changed into your jammers then laid in bed. You found yourself tossing and turning, you then got a text from Mina asking if you wanted to go to the pool with the girls. You like swimming so you agreed.


You felt your eyes grow heavy then decided it was time to sleep, as you drifted off you felt a presence in your room. You sat up and saw him. The demon. Or was he?


"I'm sorry."


"What." You said perplexed.


You then noticed his body language. He was shaking and still had the jacket on.


"I'm sorry." He said this time his voice breaking. You then heard soft sobs.


You scooted closer to him, still in your bed,


"Can you come closer?" You asked.


He then slowly walked closer to you, revealing his hurt form. He stood in front of you, head down.


You were unsure of what to say on one hand he looked desperate for help, on the other hand, How did he get in?


"I knew I shouldn't have come, I'm better left dead than here." He cried.


You then took him into a hug,


"No." You reassured him. You then started taking off his jacket, once it was off you were met with a horrifying sight. He had bruises and scars all over him.


"I didn't want it." He mumbled, tears falling.


"What happened?" You said as you began to heal him.


"They always told to act normal as if I wasn't. When I didn't they h-hurt me. They hated me." He said to looking down.


You pushed the hair away from his face, "I've never been treated like a person," He began to cry again this time holding your hand to his face, "until now."


You pulled him in this time so he could cry on your shoulder. You gently brushed through his hair, and traced circles on his back. He clutched onto you, as if he were afraid to let go.


"I'm so sorry."


"Why?" You asked softly.


"I didn't mean to hurt her."


This caught your attention. You gently pushed him away giving you more space.


"Who?"


"(M/n)."


Flashback~
"What did he look like?"


"Well he was tall, and his eyes were bright. I didn't really see much else." Your mom answered looking down.


You pulled her into a hug,


"You're a survivor, Okay. And I'll always be here." You reassured her.


Flashback end~
You froze, "You... You paralyzed her."


You felt the tears begin to well up. She didn't deserve it. Your mothers dreams, they were crushed because of him. Every time you visit her you can see it. The sadness, despite her comical exterior.


She used to dance with you. You still remember how you two would dance together. How she would dip you and tell you how good you were or joke that you gained weight. The look when she'd finally get a move right. The pure joy she'd have when she danced.


The sadness she felt when she heard she would never dance again was immeasurable. A week. She didn't talk for a week. All she did was stare and cry. For a week it felt like you lost her.


The memories flooded in as well as your tears.


"Please, please forgive me." The man sobbed still clutching you.


Remembering how your mom forgave him, how she was finally happy now. You couldn't refuse him. You'd just be filled with hate, you'd never...you'd never heal.


"I-I will."


'For her.'


A/n: Whew, so how y'all feel about the man who paralyzed your mom? Would you forgive him? Anyway ignore the time I posted this. Have a nice night/day! 🐌
