"Hey, Kiri! How was your internship!" Mina asks as she ran up to me and I hugged her before picking her up and spinning her around.
"It was great! We took down so many villains today! I think I broke a record!" I yell as I put her down gently and high-fived Denki and Sero and walk inside the main room. "Where is Kats, I need to tell him!"
"He's in the kitchen with Midoriya, I think some-" Denki started to answer as I started running into the kitchen.
"Kats-" I started to say as I stopped in my tracks to see Midoriya eating the same dish that Katsuki made for me that first night. As I looked at the situation, Midoriya looking at the food crying, and Katsuki moving towards me, it all clicked for him.
"The friend you help is Midoriya?" I finally understand as I see Midoriya turn away from him and start to cry even more.
"Kirishima." Katsuki starts as he turns to look at Midoriya before looking back at me, only to see me walking up towards Midoriya.
"I'm sorry Midoriya, I didn't mean to scare you. That dish you are eating, I know it may seem scary and impossible to eat even just a little of it, but it's worth it, trust me. I just took down so many more villains than I have ever! I would never have been able to do that if I kept eating the way I was before Kats helped me."
"You have issues with eating too? But why you are really strong and amazing, why would you be worried about anything like that? I'd kill to have your strength." Mido cried to me as he look at me.
"When I was in 7th grade, I was diagnosed with Anorexia. I weighed so little and had no energy, but I still kept working out. I was at the point where I didn't feel like I was allowed to eat and that if I did I was letting so many people down and I would never amount to anything. I was gonna kill myself for not eating, but Mina and some others ended up bringing it up to my mothers and they brought me to a therapist and got me a personal trainer. With all their help I was able to start eating again and I made all these massive gains." I explained as I flexed my arms in front of him, getting him to laugh and smile a little. "I was doing great until a couple of months ago when one of the journalists said a comment about me and it brought back all the old feelings I used to have. I even got to the point where I had gotten a six-pack, but I wasn't able to lift as much or run as far without feeling like I was dying. Kats threatened to drag me out of the gym if I didn't stop working out. He brought me back here and cooked me that meal, and stayed calm-"
"He stayed calm?" Midobro asked as he turned to look at Kats and back to me with his eyes widen.
"Yea, he stayed calm. Even when I threw a bowl of rice against the wall. He just got up and got me a new bowl, didn't yell at me or even made me clean it up."
"Yeah, I had to clean it," Katsuki spoke up as he took a sip of his tea.
"Aw Kacchan, you're being nice to people!" Midobro said as he laughed a little.
"Shut it Deku, I'm only nice to a few people, and only when they do what I say. Now finish eating your food."
"Kacchan! I ate a good amount already, I can't eat anymore." Midobro gave up as he pushed his plate away.
"Deku, I've watched you eat a couple of bites, and I know you haven't eaten anything else today, not even to mention that I don't believe you ate yesterday either," Bakubro emphasized as he pushes the plate back towards Midobro.
"Kacchan, I can't." Midobro cried as tears start to form in the corner of his eyes. "Please."
"Izuku-"
"Midobro, would it help if I eat with you? I have some leftover salad in the fridge I was gonna eat when I came back. Do you wanna eat together?" I ask as I started walking towards the fridge.
"Nope, I made more of this meal for you to eat too, I know you've been eating mainly cucumbers and celery and some lettuce. I know you've been busier at work lately so you need to eat more." Kats stopped me, as he turned back to the stove and filled a plate with some of the food he made, and filled a bowl with some rice before putting it in front of me. "Both of you, if you want to help other people, you need to help yourselves first. Now eat."
I looked down at the plate that was in front of me, wanting to cry, already feeling the fat growing on my body. I looked over at Midobro only to see him looking down at his lap as his hand pinches the nonexistent fat on his stomach before starting to cry even more than he was before.
"Midobro" I started saying as I felt the tears starting to fall down my cheeks, "We need to do this, if not for the people we will be saving, but for ourselves. We deserve to be happy with bodies."
"Kiri…"
"Come on, how are you gonna save people with a smile, If you don't have enough energy to even smile," I tell Midobro as I smile at him while bringing some of the food up to take a bite.
