Hello there !

I think that you don't want long notes before the story so I'll try to do it fast.

First off, this is my first ever fanfiction or story that I've written, so it might be a little sketchy and I'm looking forward for any advice that you can give me.

Also, English isn't my main language so if there's any grammar error / writing issue, please tell me and I'll correct it as soon as possible. I think that writing is one of the best way for me to improve myself, and I hope that you can still enjoy the story. I'll see you in the Author's Notes.

That being said. Have fun !

Chapter One : An unexpected visit.

Worthless

It's the main feeling that filled in Midoriya's body during the whole day. This pain comes mainly because he thinks that he's not strong and resistant enough. How could he be the number one Hero if he can't recover from a basic injury?

It's been one day since he fell from a high wall during a training with his class at the USJ, in the "Conflagration Zone". The results: a week of immobilization in Recovery Girl's Office, it wasn't a "basic" injury. Of course, he knew that the training in order to become Hero comes with a lot of risks, but he should be able to recover from them faster. The world can't wait for the Symbol of Peace because he fought two villains. This week of rest is even more stupid considering that he hurt himself without combatting anyone. Fortunately, today it's his last day here, so he could resume his school life.

- Flashback -

"So… I just need to move back by a step or two and then jump? " The green-headed boy asked, looking over his shoulder to Kirishima, who is placed behind him.

"Yeah, jump without thinking or you could crash on the wall." He explained.

"What in the hell are ya talkin 'bout Deku ! Move out of my way or I'm gonna blast you off !" Shouted Bakugo.

Midoriya didn't pay attention to him, and jumped. Without thinking, like he was advised by the harden-Quirk user. His Full Cowl making his whole body bright with red veins of pure power, and some green sparkles around his flesh.

But right before his jump, Bakugo blew up a cement block with his right palm and the sound disturbed him, making the One-for-All user lose his concentration, but it was too late. His foot was caught in the little edge of the roof and he fell directly to the ground, three floors lower, face first.

When he woke up, he was in the bed of Chiyo's office, multiples stitches on his face.

- End of Flashback -

"Why did I lose my focus there ? It was really important. I could have a more serious injury. I could have been dead if I wasn't that lucky. How and why didn't I use my Quirk to land? I could've avoided all of this, still I can't rest knowing that some of my friends could be in danger; without talking of All Might. He's being more and more fragile over the time. I need t-" And there his muttering storm was stopped by a soft knock on the white door.

"Deku, can I come in?" he heard a sweet and enthusiastic voice. By the usage of his nickname, he found out that is was Ochako asking; since Bakugo wouldn't come here to see him, at least he wouldn't knock on the door, he would knock the door out.

"Yes." He answered calmly, still thinking about how he could heal faster.

The door opened slowly, revealing his best friend. She wore a white top with a blue shirt, and a pink skirt with white shoes. He remembered that they bough this outfit together one weekend at the store. She was also smiling as always. Seeing her smile, Izuku thought that she was really cute, as always, and he was happy that she care enough to visit him during his care.

"S-so… How are ya going?" She asked in her accent, like if she was embarrassed, her cheeks being a little darker than usual.

"Better." He lied. He didn't want her to worry about him, she probably had others things to do and he wasn't feeling like talking right now. He took a couple of seconds to look closely at the brown-haired girl. She was standing right next to the door, her hands behind her, like if she was embarrassed. She looked at her feet but he still can see a little blush on her face. She really was worried about him and he was thankful for having a friend as great as her.

"I'm g- glad that you're fine. I was a little nervous due to your state of yesterday, but if it keeps improving, e-everything's ok." She said. Still a little shy from being with Izuku, alone in the same room.

"You know, I really owe my survival to Recovery Girl. Again." As he finished saying these words, he lowered his head and looked into the void of dark thoughts that never go out of his mind. Before he starts mumbling again about how bad he felt, Ochako stepped forward.

"Don't say things like that Deku ! You couldn't do anything. Bakugo did that intentionally to hurt you in one way or another." He looked up and saw her face painted in red, revolted. He tried to calm her down but she suddenly changed mood, almost crying. "I can't let you say anything like that right now."

He can clearly see that she was trying to say something more important than ever, which couldn't be said outside of a serious discussion. After a long minute just staring at each other, a little blush on the two faces, waiting for the other to act first; she wiped her tears and talked. " Can I… er… Sit on your b-bed ?" Before flushing harder.

Izuku was fearing the "Huge Revelation" cliché, and he didn't want to take her time too much. But he answered with a little stutter, with a redder face than ever realizing what she just asked for. "Oh. S-Sure." He made a little place for the gravity girl by getting up and sitting on the bedhead, even if his legs were hurting a little. She sat down on it and she whispered softly.

"Thanks, Deku, but. I think that we need to talk."

Author's notes :

I know that it's a short one, but I want to keep the suspense and just want to set the scene and see how I could improve myself before writing another chapter. The next one will come when I'm done writing it.

And until next time : Go Beyond ! Plus Ultra !
