Enji slowly opened his eyes, assessing his surroundings. A headache starting to brew in his head, Jesus how much beer did he drink? Usually, he could just 'burn' through the beer through his high metabolism. He felt the bare back of a scraggly and lanky man and a blonde tussle of hair just below his neck. Toshinori's skin was stuck to his, the sweat from last night gluing them together, Enji attempted to move away, the other man shifting. Enji tried once more, though his effort was futile.
Attempting to would only wake him up. Enji sighed, giving up and succumbing to the warmth, it reminded him of their time in UA. Though he didn't know if it would ever be like that again, sadly.
He hated himself for even reminiscing about those times, it was unlikely he'd ever get to experience something like that with him again.
"What?" Toshinori looked shocked. "Are you deaf?" Enji snapped back. "I'm going to focus on becoming number one! I have no use for you." "You cannot bear children, and you will be a burden in my path to victory." Enji's face scrunched up, a mask. His heart sunk as he saw the face of his newfound rival. "I will beat you." Endeavor crossed his arms, turning his back and walking away, on the verge of tears.
Endeavor refused to cry, he refused. But, the floodgates opened. He rested his chin on the tussle of hair beneath him, wrapping his arms tightly around the skeletal man, who slept peacefully. Endeavor wondered, did he want the same thing? Endeavor could wait for the answer, though it became more and more difficult with each passing day.
He silently cried, hugging the other man beneath him. Enji wished this moment wouldn't come to an end. He thought of how different things could've been if he never said that, how their "partnership" would've been taken by the public. How he would've been there to comfort Toshi after his fight with All for One. He couldn't help but remember all his mistakes, how he could've changed things between them, or at the very least his own kids. He ruined nearly everything- no, he ruined everything. He ruined everything within five minutes, five minutes he wish he could take back.
He could only hope that things would change, that Toshinori would forgive him, and that his family would forgive him. Though Enji knew how ridiculous the idea of his torn family accepting his apology was. He shuddered, the blonde turned around as he slept. Now facing Enji. The redhead relaxed, closing his eyes and going into a deep sleep.
