"Great performance today, all of you. I have gotten the reports from your hero foundation teacher, All Might, and seen your statistics and scores." Aizawa sensei said as the day almost reached it's end.

I looked nervously at the clock.

'What on earth happened to Midoriya... is he not healed yet...'

"...Class dismissed." Sensei ended the last session like that and left, his yellow sleeping bag in hand.

Bakugou was packing his things silently, his mood still as gloomy as ever.

Midoriya got into class, at the same time.

I was relieved to see he awakened at last. Others seemed to share my feelings too, because many of them swarmed around him and checked on him.

But he was concerned about something else.

He was concerned about the retreating back that did not stop him or spared him a small "are you okay".

I reached out to Midoriya, and checked on him. Uraraka was just beside me as I did.

"Congratulations on winning that match, Midoriya. I hope you will heal soon." I said.

He thanked me and smiled, a small blush forming on his cheeks.

"Deku... your wounds... aren't they healed yet?" Uraraka asked concerned about her friend's safety.

I excused myself and got back to my seat,

putting my things in my bag fast.

I finished in the right moment to be able to catch up to him.

I got to my foot and started to follow him, only to be stopped bh a hand grabbing my shoulder stopped me.

"Where are you going? We will be late if you waste your time, especially on a hard rock headed person.." The blunt cold tone of nii-san ringed in my ears.

"I have to do it... it's important." I said releasing myself from his grip.

'I can't see Bakugou like that and walk away...'

I went to the door ignoring his 'hey', and gott outside, following the explosive head's advancing back...

I kept walking behind, quickening my pace to keep up with him.

He also walked faster, trying to avoid me, his follower.

I got frustrated and walked even faster. But we had reached the outside yard of the school.

"Kacchan!" Midoriya's voice sounded from behind us.

Bakugou's body electrocuted. He turned his head slowly to face his caller. The shadow on his eyes and the look in them sent shivers down my spine.

"What?!" He said.

His eyes fell on me in the process. His eyebrows furrowed forming a distressed, hopeless expression that I could muster from his only visible eyes.

"I need to tell you something...!"

Midoriya started, but he saw my form. He held back his words in his throat.

'Someone is going to take over my quest... the only obstacle now...'

Midoriya shifted in his position nervously looking back and forth between me and Bakugou.

'Is me...'

I felt my heart clutch as a mastered unfazed, fake smile found it's way to my lips.

"I just wanted to say goodbye to Bakugou-kun... he seemed so rushed...!"

Midoriya smiled awkwardly and nodded.

I left to the school doors, standing behind them to wait for my twin.

When Midoriya was sure the coast was clear, he continued.

He was not aware that I was still hearing him from my position.

I could not make out all his words. But most certainly, I heard a few important ones: "I obtained this quirk from somebody else."

The words of my green headed friend kept spinning in my head.

'Got his quirk from somebody else...But how...?More importantly (if that was possible in the first place), why?'I sighed in exasperation. I could not find answers for my urging questions.

I walked out of my closed room, trying to get a feel of fresh air.

Yes, I wanted to get to that backyard.

I did, but it was not empty. Nii-san was there before me.

I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw him. I had already upset him today. I did not wish to, but I did.

'He thinks I do not want to give him attention anymore... that I grew to disregard our connection...'That could not be more wrong.

But how could he know...?

I wondered my way in the garden, staying distanced from him, like I have been doing since Endeavour's threat.

'He already sensed my presence, there is no point in running away.'"Aren't you going to lay beside me... like we used to do...?" He asked, his voice wavering slightly.

'Was he... crying...?'"I-" I started but was cut off instantly.

"You changed... too much. What on earth has happened to you? Why are you doing this to me...? " He pressed further.

My lips formed a thin line, as I contained the sob threatening to escape my mouth.

I want to tell him... oh I want to tell him so badly."This has nothing to do with you. This... this is something I have chosen." I paused, taking a deep breath to sound as steady as I can while telling him the biggest lie in my life: "This is what I have chosen to give up... to become stronger. "

He twitched, the only light was coming from the house, since the moon was dead that night.

He stretched his arm to the position of his heart.

"But your emotions tells me otherwise.

I know because I feel them too. " He said, his voice firm now, and his eyes closed as he dived deep into his heart.

"But that does not change the fact that I have to stay away. " I answered, turning my back to him.

'It's the only way... to protect you.'
