Reincarnation
I do not know why my dreams consisted only of moments shared by Deku and me, but recently that's all what I can dream of. The weirdest of all this is that they don't feel like dreams at all; they feel so real that sometimes I wake up not knowing where I am. Well, maybe not the weirdest of all, as sometimes those dreams are about him and I… being together… as in a romantic relationship. That plus the weird feelings I have towards him and Mina's constant teasing doesn't help me. Well, it could be helped if I don't know why is happening.
The first dream was about me being a princess in the middle age probably. Daddy was the king so we had a great social level. However, not all were satisfied with Daddy's reign, I don't remember clearly why, but some of them decided to plan against our family. After some time, I would find myself walking through the corridors of our castle when a person I did not know jumped on me with a dagger in his hand. I thought that would be the moment in which I would die and wake up, but there he was.
A green haired knight appeared behind me and with two swift movements intercepted the dagger and knocked down the assassin. He asked if I was hurt but I found myself lost in his emerald orbs. After that almost tragic moment, my medieval self learned that the heroic knight was a well known knight recognized due to his courage and kindness. Also, he was very desired by every woman of the village. I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy although I knew I didn't have any right. But to my joy (?), after that, the knight whose name was Izuku Midoriya decided to spend his time standing guard to make sure I would be alright. I couldn't deny his request (as Daddy decided it was the best choice in case of another attempt) and I did not want to.
I don't have a clear idea of how but afterward, I would find myself in a bed with Deku hugging me close, hearing Daddy outside requesting to finish the preparations for the wedding… my wedding… with Deku. After that, I woke up very agitated, not knowing exactly what just passed through my mind. The only thing I could ensure was that undeniably, I dreamt about Deku, and, as strange as it sound, I kind of like to think about Deku being so close to me (meaning so close as taking care of me, not the other way!). That, however, was the beginning of the series of dreams that involved my best friend.
The next dream that I dreamed of him was a few days after the first one, although the scenery was completely different. We were in the ancient Egypt and I was part of a modest family that could manage to survive while working for the pharaoh. One day, while we were preparing the pyramids moving the rock blocks that had down wooden rollers, I don't know how but I stumbled over something (probably stones pieces used for the pyramids) and ended with a sprained ankle. One of the pharaoh's closest followers may have thought that I was just being lazy and prepared to use his whip. I closed my eyes, getting ready for the pain that never came.
Opening my eyes, I could see that the man was as surprised as me because there, holding the hand with the whip was a green-haired boy with a stern expression in his face. The man backed off and left us, and immediately, the boy knelt on me and picked me up. After setting over a stone, he started to see my ankle, which supposedly was sprained. I didn't understand why but the boy took great care of me, and after noon came, we spend more time together as Daddy decided to invite him over for dinner as thanks for taking care of me. After that night, we would spend even more time together, up to the point where I learned he was the pharaoh's son! He told me that he didn't like to be treated as someone superior and that he was grateful to be with me, as he said that I truly see who he is. Love blossom and a new wedding were being arranged between Deku and me. Before officially be presented as the pharaoh and his wife, I woke up feeling utterly strange and confused. Going back to sleep seemed almost impossible that day.
Another dream was in the contemporary era. I remember being in some kind of factory with my mother, helping her with the production of some objects that could only be weapons. All men were sent to fight abroad. I couldn't quite understand why (although I remember studying all this before coming to U.A., maybe the dream was so realistic that I was so abysmal in my character, consequently making me forget a lot of things but not all) but my principal goal was helping Mommy.
I remember one day that I was doing a little errand for Mommy when I saw two uniformed men escorting another one speaking in a language I did not understand. Before I could turn around and leave, the man escorted escape from the uniformed men's grip, took out a knife and took me hostage. All the materials I had fell to the floor, not that I could really notice that as my life was in the hands of this man. He started to shout as my eyes filled with tears and could only think about Mommy and Daddy. Before I could pass out, the man was disarmed and knocked down by other young man that I never acknowledge. After the aggressor was controlled, the green-haired man turned his attention towards me and asked me if there was anything he could do. But for some reason I found myself lost in his eyes and could only nod at his questions. After that, he insisted that he would escort me towards Mommy's working place and I couldn't find myself rejecting his offer. After that, Mommy would be crying for hours about what happened, telling me how sorry she was to send her to a tense zone and how grateful he was towards Deku for saving "her baby".
Afterward, the dream would shift to different scenes in which Deku passes every so often through the factory to ask how I was doing, Deku and me walking side by side while he took me to some places he knows to grab something to eat and him accompanying me to my house… to finish the day with a magical kiss under the artificial lights of a lamppost. As always, I would wake up a little bit surprised but already with the shadow of smile appearing on my face.
The last dream, which I had it yesterday, was not of something I didn't live. It was my most recent memories since entering U.A. It would start with me making my way towards the best high school for heroics in Japan and seeing a green-haired boy almost muttering something or being deep in thought about something before starting to walk… only to trip in his very first step. Acting on impulse, I activated my Quirk and prevent the boy's face meeting the floor. After helping him to stand up, I apologized for using my Quirk without warning and told him that it would be bad luck if he fell in his very first day. He didn't answered, maybe processing what just happened, so I wished him good luck and made my way towards U.A. I thought that was going to be one of the few times I was going to see that boy, but, during the entrance exam, the zero-point robot made its appearance and I found myself being under some debris without being able to move. Thinking that I was done for good, I continue desperately to get out of the robot's way. Then, there he was: the plain-looking, green-haired boy furrowing the heavens at great speed. Before fully understanding what was happening, he threw a blow that was enough to leave the robot in pieces. That was the first time that Deku saved someone: me. After our first day and asking Deku about that nickname the guy named Bakugo called him with, he decided that he prefers that I call him like that.
Other moments I dreamt of that I remember are: when we teamed up during the school exercise Aizawa sensei made us take part, in which I ended being team up with Deku against Ilda and Bakugo. After he distracted Bakugo enough time so that I could found the fake bomb, he came up with a great plan in which he throw a punch up destroying part of the building. That created debris that I used plus a column (in which I applied my Quirk) in order to distract Ilda enough time to retrieve the bomb. After that, Deku was taken to Recovery girl's nursery to treat his injuries, leaving me a little bit worried, although I was happy for him, as he seemed to win against Bakugo in his own way.
Also, our performance in the sports festival, from the obstacle race (where Deku finished in first place!), up to the cavalry battle in which we were both paired with Tokoyami and Mei Hatsume from the Department of Support (where we passed to the final stage thanks to Deku and Tokoyami) and finishing with the battle tournament, in which I was eliminated by Bakugo and Deku passed the first round only to give his all but being eliminated by Todoroki. I must admit, remembering that he needed to be operate due to his injuries was something that makes me feel uneasy as I don't like when Deku gets hurt so much.
Then, my dream shift to all the moments in which Deku shows his great braveness and conviction towards all the challenges that appeared on his way. How he always seems to come up with a plan to give his all and be successful, as this are the cases against Bakugo and his fight along Bakugo against All Might. Also, memories about what Aoyama told me in our exercise and what Mina exclaimed once I told the girls what I was feeling. Maybe… they were right… and I have a crush on Deku. And to be honest, I don't dislike this anymore. Although I already decided to focus on my hero way in order to help my parents and get them enough money to get what they need, maybe after that objective is done, and neither Deku nor me are in a relationship… maybe I could confess to him.
However, every time is more difficult to keep my feelings inside of me, as Deku always acts so kind with me and we spend so much time together that… sometimes I want to spend even more time with him. In addition, our chemistry makes me wonder just how good we act towards the other. With that and talking to him about what our next school exercise might be, left me thinking about what I heard my Egyptian self talking with the Egyptian Deku. About how some people believe about the possibility of soul mates who find themselves in future lives, meaning that reincarnation was possible. Maybe… that dreams were something more than mere dreams? If that's the case, I wouldn't feel so disturbed, as it would mean that Deku and I are meant for each other and that, probably, we will find ourselves within arm's reach in the near future. If that's the case, the theme of reincarnation doesn't sound so weird all of a sudden.
